I'm not surprised by the delay. I would much rather have a functional, more polished product. So I am glad they are taking the time to get it right and not rush it. As we all know, the reason we are so anxious for it, is because no other game out there compares. So remember that and try to have some patience.
I would like to see them respond to the questions regarding the engram list. Are the engrams changing to have access to some of the QOL engrams that were added at some of the later map launches? Or are they going to run the same as original Ark? Ie: cryopods, egg incubator, net projectiles, maewings, etc. Or are you just not sure yet?
The wait is indeed hard, but I am looking forward to many years of Asa and Ark 2 ganeplay in my future. We just love Ark so much, it is truly hard to be in limbo waiting, with not much more but a sneak peek at what is to come.
