Talk to Xbox. They have to release it on the store. It has been approved so that is a good thing

Nope, don’t need a newbie in here being captain save a hoe.

Except the dentist isn’t going to give you pleasure edit: unless you have a tooth ache already lol

Yeah you are definitely right. I am already expecting it. Not sure why but being able to be present for the initial rush is intoxicating. It just lures you in. ill wait and see how things go tonight and then decide after lol

You didn’t play on the ptr with the new islands? I would have been all over that .

Would be nice. But hey it’s “game preview” so we are screwed lol. Thinking of calling in sick tomorrow. Got plenty of hours to burn and I want to explore lol

Let me try to make you jealous, I am still at work so I am getting paid to wait for it to launch. Lol i also have my Xbox set to auto turn on and download while I am at work so it should be done by the time I get home. this only applies if the damn thing launches of course

Lol no. I have been here since day 1 but I am an Xbox player and don’t have the game yet. Nice. Kind of jealous. Screw it you take the notification job. I will go play a few rounds of clash royale

Yeah. It is any minute now. It is already completely approved and is now in the hands of Microsoft to add it to the store. It usually takes a bit to do that but now just waiting on Microsoft. I am refreshing the store every couple of minutes lol

Yeah, these guys need to get twitter lol jat has tweeting like 20 different things in the past hour lol

This time and for this part it is actually in the hands of Microsoft. Before it wasn’t but now they are in control.

No. What it means I that officials are cross platform but unofficials can be EITHER cross platform or non cross platform

Well just know that now they have to pass every update through Xbox QA so there will continue to be delays. Just prepare for it

The answer to the first question is they are never on time. They might have been with you guys but with Xbox they have never met a date. I mean never thought the years of ark

Not live yet but close

The game has been approved. Waiting for it to show up in store. Any minute now

Yeah. Even the devs have said not to do that because even they know there will always be a delay. Definitely never do that.

@boomervoncannon I will go ahead and sail to you to get my doubloons. I didn’t want to have to pay for the island upkeep so this will really come in handy

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

Nah, it’s all good man. I can get under people’s skin at times. I don’t blame you for being frustrated. If I wasn’t stuck at work right now and at home I would probably be frustrated as well.

I have never associated playing games with being a real man anyways, yeah I am pretty pumped. Got some exploring to do. I want to see all of the islands, not just rush to one and build a base 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.

Yeah your New Zealand timezone plan didn’t go well and now your downloading before that delay didn’t go well either. Pc guys get the head start since they already downloaded it lol

I am still in the race with tomorrow at 8 am lol

Yeah and unfortunately I work today so I will not be able to be in the lagfest either. I know it sounds weird but I was partially looking forward to it lol.

Well the difference is that all of the other things you mentioned are intended content and the last one is a work around to broken content but yeah, luck definitely plays a part while playing a game. I knew one guy that played ark and got kicked every 30 minutes. I felt bad because I only got kicked once or twice a day lol
