everyone dont be mean. releasing games is a hard thing. i know some people really thing that it was a bad thing but come on. extinction is the biggest DLC. and before people say "your only saying that because you play on steam," that is partially correct. i have Ark on my steam account but i can't play because my computer is crap. I play on my Xbox 1. seriously coding a game as big as ark is hard. just be glad its not coming out in 2019. if you dont have something nice to say dont say anything at all. why do people need to make the world all negative. i know for a fact that the ark developers are working as hard as possible to make extinction the best DLC on all platforms. usually when games come out on Xbox and other platforms they are bad quality so be glad thats not the case for Ark. the reason its so good on Xbox is because the developers try really hard make it so good. would you rather have a crap quality extinction or have it be just as good as it would be on steam. dont be so mean to the developers they are trying to give everyone a good experience on all platforms not just steam (mobile dosent count, phone and iPad cant handle how awesome ark is) so everyone stop being so immature about it.

I mean, they kinda did.

no i dont think thats it. i think that Sony and MS may not have accepted the current performance levels. if they only accept a certian level of optimization, then WildCard would be hard pressed finding a way to get it onto consoles without taking time to run it up to standards. Seriously, The people in this post need to understand that there is a lot more that goes on in a game than meets the eye. Some think that WC is just a buisness run by a bunch of lazy people and that is not neccisarily the case. there are things that require time and not all of it is fast going. So please, before you make an emotinally based comment tearing at the people making this game try to think of at least a possible reason for a delay becaue its not always the game developers fault.

Seriously! It is a huge amount of work to basically re-code the entire game for another console, let alone all of them. These things take time so be patient and dont be a jerk because you dont have it RIGHT NOW. (though i think Tigerstagirl said it best)

wow wildcard, I know developing games takes a while, but I've noticed a trend with EVERY SINGLE GAME THAT IS ON CONSOLE AND PC! Console gets treated like poop and ignored for 10 years and pc is pampered and gets updates with cool new stuff every day. If you are going to do that too... Lower the price for console edition DLC and the game. Thanks for treating us like poop, you have the code all ready to go but please, if you are going to do this make it buggy AF for pc players to let them get a taste for console editions.

Weekends, the boon and curse of Ark. Day 5: The Circle of Ark Having set myself up handily with supplies and a new taming raft, I decided it was time to go pick up some utility tames, and my first dedicated combat mount. Off I went with just my seagull in search of an argent, all the way back to carno point. I specifically chose that area because there's a spot away from the fighting where dodos spawn, and I know the gull can get prime meat from them. Unfortunately the only bird there worth taking hit a dimo. I wrote it off immediately and went after the prettiest of the remaining birds, because why not. They're all gonna suck might as well get something I can breed later. Got a gorgeous, golden feathered male successfully taming. Didn't bother with prime, he was only level 10 anyway. Got the saddle on and immediately left the area, parking on the weathertop side of the river around the back of Cragg's Island. So many glorious spino spawns up and I refuse to block any of them. There are so many in spots I've never even seen before because of those spawns being blocked on every server I've ever played on. And this is from someone with 4k+ hours who maintained an active list of spawn points long before anyone thought to map them on the wiki. There is nothing as beautiful as spino river being actually full of spinos. And barys My goal was not a bary but rather a doed. I had seen an event one by black beach that I wanted. Unfortunately it had been attacked and was balled up, so I went scouting around instead. And this is where the game gets frustrating, not from any sort of challenge but rather just plain cheap crap. I had to take a phone call and landed on a high, high ridge on the side of the volcano. There was absolutely nothing around. I got up for about 30 seconds to check something. Came back to see I had been killed by a 174 (!?) Tek raptor that had come literally from nowhere and pounced me right off the bird. Really game? I got back to the area just in time for the argent's death message to pop up. Wrote off the seagull entirely, it wasn't worth searching for. Luckily I had already planned to go have coffee with a friend from my previous job, so that gave me time to calm down and collect myself. Back to carno point for another argent. Misfortune turned to luck as I spotted a level 50 argent with more than a passing resembling to a phoenix. I tamed him successfully, he even happened to have the same golden feathers on the trailing edge of his wings. There was also a low level doed in the area, as soon as the bird was up I put him to use and got the doed. Then on the way home I tamed a pair of dilos for eggs. I returned home triumphant and offloaded my finds, then right back out again to get a bary. I almost managed to carry a level 95 all the way back to the raft but a rex ate it and I ended up with a 35 instead. But he is pretty neat in his own right, purple with blue spines and an orange underbelly. He'll make good color breeding stock later. If he lives that long. Got a new icthyornis too, killed about half a dozen before I thought to switch to a regular bow. What I really need is a gun and tranq darts. I also really need to build a bigger taming pen and get my first spino, I'm tired of being dragged off my mounts by raptors all the time. I don't really have the build for that kind of damage. I also took the bary on a long walk around the edge of the redwoods to eat deer and collect pelt. Got enough to make 3/5 of a set of fur, so I can use my good pela to farm organic polymer to make a set of ghillie. That was about the end of my day. Today's plan: I haven't quite decided yet. I've already chosen where to build my breeding base, so now I'm debating if I want to even keep this outpost on herb island. It really is quite far out of the way. On the other hand it would be a great sea pen but again, so far out of the way. I still need a deer, and a female seagull for breeding. I'd rather breed a few in case I lose one than have to keep taming the stupid things. I could try to recover the one I lost by the volcano if it's still alive, it was a female. I think at this point a spino or a rex would be the most beneficial. I might just go for a rex, then start setting up the second/main base. I'd just rather be taming, you know? Building gets stressful for me because I get so hung up on design/details. I have never once built a boring box or behemoth gate base. Just not my style.

Okay, fine we can only be pissed about this. unless you play on PC, In which case you don't give two craps about it. If you push back the console date, at least give Scorched Earth an accession on Nov. 6th for Consoles only that way on Nov. 13th PC gets the accession for Scorched Earth. Fair's Fair.
