Always said either midnight or 8 though. I was a little off on the November part. More wishful thinking than anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pc guys already have it downloaded so yeah. This was a very bad design with the whole crossplay. probably would have gotten more money going without crossplay to be honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atlaneer 30 Posted October 8, 2019 Even if we can't preload it use some common sense and release it on game preview BUT don't let anyone login on console side until a set time. It's not rocket science . Or did the highly educated team not think of this idea..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I GUESS WE GOT A PRELOAD... The game on an average of a 70 mb connection will take 2.6 hours @ a 80 GB file. Edited October 8, 2019 by Excelex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be playing the game after 20 minutes once I am able to purchase it. The game drops at 12PM and you will not be able to access the servers till 4PM but you can play single player and private servers til then.

I wouldn't mind learning a bit before I got straight to PVP. EDIT: NOPE. In order for the game to list, there needs to be a change to some backend configuration settings that can only be done with Microsoft's help. As these changes are necessary for the launch of the game, Edited October 8, 2019 by Excelex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have Xbox so I haven’t spent any time in the game, well yet anyways. Unfortunately my parents died awhile back. I am in my 30’s however so you did get that right at least. I wish I had no life because then I would be able to play my games more often. Kind of pisses me off how busy I always am when all I want to do is kick back and game.

How can you say we are releasing a game at 12 pm, turn into well after a series of problems we will be releasing at 4 pm. What is next as soon as the players get into the clusters, they start failing? What kind of company is this? I guess everything I read in this forum is true about grapeshot.

Well technically it’s wildcard but yeah. I am guessing you weren’t an ark player? Ark veterans have come to know about the delay train and just expect it by now. It takes awhile to get used to but you should just start expecting delays on updates as well. the main reason for this is because now every update will have to go through Microsoft QA and what we have learned from ark MS QA always finds something wrong with the update and it is delayed by like a week or a few days. steam has always let them just update freely. Microsoft will not be letting them do that, so I can all but guarantee there will always be a delay. so if you haven’t played ark, hopefully you found this information helpful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
