Ark Ragnarok Console Release and PC 262

It's been no secret Wildcard isn't very consistent on ETAs and release dates. However, their legitimacy has been going consistently downhill within the recent times.
To begin, more unfortunate news for console players in that no one will be able to experience the beautiful new free dlc quite yet. At least Jen is being bluntly honest:



Personal, this raises concerns on the supposed "official release date" for Ark. Wildcard is already accepting preorders for a game that can't keep ETAs on their major updates consistent. This is no doubt decreasing the legitimacy as Wildcard as a developer.
But most of the community managers will tell you that ETAs will especially be off this month because of said preparations of the launch date.

In other news. Ark 262 is finally on its last stretch after being delayed twice for PC. The update itself is rather small, despite Jeremy hyping it like crazy (note: don't trust Jeremy). The only worthy additions to this update is the removal of the dragon boss on the center with no explanation, a nerf to the Center boss' damage, an apparent dupe fix on the center, and the ability to gain both console exclusive bionic skins on all platforms by performing various achievements.
As always the patch notes can be found on the official forums here, console release of patch 262 is uncertain without a doubt, make sure you keep up to date on the forums and the respective developer twitter pages.

ARK's Console Update Surpise Release

I must say, I feel very conflicted (as many other Xbox One players do) as to the update's "early release" This release has included both PC's 259 and 260 update in one 16  gigabyte package has been delayed many times, but came earlier than expected after said delays and released about 24 hours ago during a 2x Evolution Event. It got many players upset due to many people raising newly hatched babies at the time. However I believe it was sorta worth it. To begin with what I believe is the crown jewel  of this patch: Loot Tables in beacons being refitted THANK THE ARK GODS I've already been adding many new saddle blueprints to my collection, including a new ascendant 88 armor megalania saddle. To say the least I'm so happy my new dinos aren't handicapped by lower end saddles anymore. However.... This update seem to have brought with it a very crippling memory bug in the servers. This causes many to crash multiple times withing minutes. If I got a pe...

ARK's "Big" Fix Update To Include Hundreds of Bug Fixes and Tek Tapejaras?

Just when ARK's next major version update for the PC couldn't any get more mysterious, Jeremy Stieglitz throws us an oddball I don't know about you guys, but I honestly don't think ARK needed many bug fixes okay enough jokes But to be honest, the next major version update for ARK has been oddly mysteriously, usually for most major updates, the patch notes will generally display them neatly on the ARK Forum or ARK Steam Forum a couple weeks ahead of time. But not this time, ARK's next major version update arrives on PC TODAY  with very little information on it other than numerous bug fixes, exploit fixes, and performance enhancements with a few new features such as the long awaited "Crafting Skill System," where presumably one's crafting effectiveness (formally crafting speed, at least this is how most think the system will work) will determine and item's stats. Added on that, Jeremy Stieglitz added this  photo  earlier this morning: Wh...

ARK’s Current PvP Meta: "Tame After Tame"

We all know how ARK has devolved into a slug fest of brute force and mindless PvP sometimes, especially at higher levels of play. With the game's release on August 8th this year (Hopefully), Wildcard needs to evaluate, reconstruct, and refine its PvP  Meta. Read  here  as I go into more detail on ARK's current meta and possibly some fixes. Please post your replies and thoughts on the forum post as to what you think? Do you agree? Or are you attached to hordes of brontos? Or do you just not care as long as your thatch mansion is not involved? Feel free to share your thoughts.
