To the surprise of nobody Studio Wildcard has delayed the “upcoming” Ark PS4 patch again.
Just to follow up on my previous tweets, the PS4 update won’t be today as it’s not yet entered cert. Will keep ya posted.

No word on when we will get this patch, this leaves PS4 Ark players very frustrated as we don’t get the bug fixes we need to keep playing the game we paid for. For 2 months PS4 users have watched both Xbox and to a greater extent PC players getting regular updates that fix some of the game breaking bugs in Ark. Its good to see things getting fixed but those of us on PS4 haven’t seen a fix in 2 months, just delay after delay. The wording used on a recent tweet makes me think the Ark PS4 patch will be a variation of the patches that Xbox and PC got, leaving us to wonder if the PS4 version is always going to be the inferior version.
It will be on par with PC & Xbox on Monday though, which is something to look forward to. 🙂 https://t.co/zSpeJXinil

We’re still working on the build with Abstraction to make it as good as can be 🙂

It went from being “On par with Xbox and PC” to “As good as it can be” and that concerns me very much. Its not right to treat paying customers like this. If they can’t make it work the same on PS4 as on other platforms they need to tell us, so all of us PS4 users (There is a lot more of us than Xbox) can decide if Ark is even a game we want to play after release.
This marks the 6th delay for this single patch in 2 months on the Playstation 4. If Wildcard doesn’t fix their crap and start actually telling us what is going on, people will just stop playing and buying Ark.
Us included. /rant
