  1. I guess WC misses all deadlines due to: - bosses setting up very unrealistic and overambitious goals. In result studio is in constant feature creep mode. There is no time left for polishing exsisting features. - understaffed studio with overambitious plans for the game. - everyone knows each other at WC quite well, therefore no one is being punished for missing his deadline or messing sth up accordingly. In result employees are not kept in line and deadlines are missed constantly. All in all, I think current chaos and problems around ARK are caused by lack of proper project management at studio.

  2. I think everyone is willing to wait for a quality product to be released HOWEVER what we are sick of enduring is the repeatedly missed dates. You have missed every release date you have set for yourselves since July of this year. You even gave a very ambiguous 31 day windows saying Abberration would come out in October. Now you're saying yet this year? Who on your staff is coming up with your release timeframes and why haven't they been fired yet for being consistently off by 2-3 months!? please, please please stop setting unrealistic timetables all you do is piss off your fan base when you fail to meet the dates you give us.

  3. When Jen said a " surprise was coming that begins with A and ends in an N" i was praying for "ATTENTION" to the maps that already exist. Maybe be less interested flying around to events that will be just another showcase of broken promises and more interested in ACTUALLY delivering said content ON TIME FOR ONCE.

  4. Hey Survivors! We’d like to start off by giving a huge thanks to all of you who participated in ARK’s first ever Twitch Con! Whether you attended the show, tuned into our streams, or took part on social media, we are grateful for all the support and engagement! For those of you who didn’t have a chance to catch us at the show, or watch the streams, worry not! We’ll be using this post to recap the news that went out, as well as sharing some of our favourite moments from the show, as well as details to where you can watch all the livestreams. Tradeshows are always special occasions for us, as we always want to take the chance to show off something different for our fans, and this was no different. At this event, we were able to present the first ever glimpse of our upcoming expansion pack, ARK: Aberration. For those not familiar with ARK: Aberration; survivors will find themselves waking up on a derelict, malfunctioning ARK with an elaborate underground biome system, where they will face exotic new challenges unlike anything before: extreme radioactive sunlight and environmental hazards, ziplines, wingsuits, climbing gear, cave dwellings, charge-batteries, and far more, along with a stable of extraordinary new creatures await within the mysterious depths. But beware the ‘Nameless’: unrelenting, Element-infused humanoids which have evolved into vicious light-hating monstrosities! You’ll uncover the ultimate secrets of the ARKs, and discover what the future holds in store for those strong and clever enough to survive! You can check out the trailer and read more details about the expansion pack here: Over the course of the weekend, we had many of you come to the booth and check out our demo, as well as having the demo-experience being streamed by your favorite influencers. Here are some of our favourite moments from the weekend: If you want to check out the full VODs, for a more detailed insight into ARK: Aberration, check out the following videos! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/183724747 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/183739332 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/183784002 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/183811296 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/184001514 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/184035844 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/184074542 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/184263530 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/184300105 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/184317507 During the event, we also had some very important news to announce, starting with the most important piece of information, ARK: Aberration will not be launching in October 2017. The expansion pack has been delayed by some weeks due to some necessary development work needing to be done. It will be coming out this year, with more features thanks to feedback we've received from our demo. Aberration is our best piece of work yet, there will be a ton of new content, features, creatures, and a vast explorable map for you to enjoy. We know waiting sucks, but it won’t be for long, and we’ll be sure to do it justice by providing you with a high quality expansion pack. In addition to that, we’ll also be releasing new skins for our season pass holders. They will shortly be making their way to PC, PS4 and soon thereafter on Xbox. You can check out the new cosmetic goodies here: The Reaper Helmet, depicting the frightening visage of these dangerous behemoths that roam the Element-infused depths and irradiated surface of Aberration, and the Bulbdog Mask, representing the cheery demeanor of this loyal ward against the Nameless. Structures Plus Official Integration! We were also very excited to announce the Official Integration of the Sponsored Mod, Structures Plus (S+)! A long time favourite of the ARK player base and known as the ultimate building mod, S+ adds a range of functionality to ARK’s building, through the use of new structures, changes to core building/structure systems, additional features and more. We’ll be working with the creator, Orionsun, and begin carefully integrating his mod into the game. Right now we’re still in the conceptualising phase, deciding which features we’ll be bringing over, which will be locked into custom settings, how we’ll be implementing it, and there are important factors we’ll need to consider regarding the mod and it’s impact on the balance of the game etc. It is a very large and in-depth mod, and we want to ensure that we get it right. Collector's Edition The Collector's Edition of ARK: Survival Evolved is now available for purchase without the game or seasons pass included, for those who already own the game. Thanks for your patience on this, and we're excited to finally get those items out to you guys: - HANDCRAFTED, LEATHER-BOUND EXPLORER'S NOTEBOOK: featuring the Dossiers of every creature you'll encounter in "ARK: Survival Evolved", with tips on capturing, taming and training them. With 100+ creatures in the game currently, there's plenty to read up on in this fantastic tome. - THE OFFICIAL ARK LOGO NECKLACE: to show your dedication to being a Survivor. - A CLOTH MAP OF THE ARK ISLAND: so you'll always know where you are! - COLLECTOR'S EDITION CHEST: All of this Ark-themed booty comes packed in a faux-wooden chest that will impress your friends and fellow players! - A POSTER FEATURING THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM BEHIND ARK - ARK OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK CD You can purchase it today on our website: playark.com Xbox Rentable Servers Update Xbox Rentable Servers may not be launching later this month as originally planned. The update which allows players to connect to these servers is currently being held in Microsoft certification. They have noticed an issue which has so far only occurred at their offices, and due to regulations, remote debugging is not possible. In order to address this we are flying out our engineers today to work with them on the issue directly. Unfortunately, this is going to hold up the final build for a little while as we work out the problem with them, and it will then have to re-enter the certification process. We expect that the update will be available in early November, and we will do our best to speed up the process as much as we are able to.

  6. They sort of did that with scorched earth. they didnt release much info and then just dropped the dcl on us. and it was proboably the only thing they have done the right way so far.

  7. How would they generate hype over constantly delayed content if they didn’t announce it at these conventions?

  8. They tried to hide it but knew they had to say something. They made a little update in a spot where barely anyone would check. I also found out from nitrado and also found the paragraph about it in that article FROM NITRADO. There was no reason not a single employee could send out a tweet. Its disgusting.

  9. It has nothing to do with 12 year olds whining over an ETA. It has to do with they missed pretty much EVERY date they ever set (including the release for the game itself) and wait till last minute to throw in a little paragraph where not many people read. Didnt even take to twitter when they know lots of people prepared for the 25th.

  10. Common Wildcard. You are Officially released Now. At least Once can you keep to your Word. At this point your coming across as compulsive Liers. You say it's coming out this year now. I'm going to bet we won't see it until January 2018 at the earliest. Sigh.

  11. I´m not happy with wildcard expression. Still the same fairy tale...when do they do the job properly?

  12. This should not come as a surprise. That's why we said January for official release date after they told us October. I'm still curious if there will be a Halloween event this Christmas.
