New Maps desperatly needed

[bishop6363]

I can give ASA a 9/10 overall. Surpassed all my expectations (which were so low-but I still feared ASA was going to be a train wreck).
The Island is just not a good map.
Fingers Crossed we get 2 more maps next month, but with the company financial problems, the server issues, the community issues, the console release issues, etc.. I fear I will be stuck on the island well into Q1 2024.
I hope the devs do a complete re-work of extinction. Extinction has so much potential. I pray they take their time with extinction and make it a top tier map.

The other maps from ASE will return at some point, as of now, I'm pretty sure, new contant isn't as important than getting bugs ironed out.

Hurdles(excuses to be used) first for them:

1. Console releases done and settled.
2. ExtraLife charity event(they.. not launch the next map the same weekend as the event so that takes out the first week in december.
3. That'll give them roughly 2 weeks left in Dec before the holidays
4. However, they'll likely launch the winter event instead as a misdirect/consolation.

Likely they'll use the delay with the consoles as they primary reason they'll not launch the next map until after the holidays. That would put it then likely during the middle or end of January (or later).

Delays are the norm for Snail-Wildcard. Not the exception. And with that, 2-3 months per map means there's a likelihood of 2 more years total for all 12 ASE related dlc maps to be released on ASA. Something folks warned about before ASA was even launch is playing out just as expected.

You'd be better off with mod map expectations at this point.

Svartalfheim and Forglar maps are pretty good alternatives for me, as I find the Island snore-inducing. I played many, many hours on it back in 2015 and it's just boring now.

Hope those Modders get to Modding lol.

I will be buying Myth of Empires and Enshrouded Early 2024. I wonder if Snail Wildcard are working around those games release for new content for ASA PC? Are there any other games coming that might be competition for ASA PC?

I was under the impression that modding was going to be very restricted for ASA. basically no free content created by the fan base i.e. mods. So that would put all mod content back to snail wildcard to try and reap profit from mods, and have to deal with snail wildcard content only.

I liked Myth of Empires but haven't played in a while. I might dig it out again. I'm looking forward to Enshrouded too.

Ya I got more faith in modders making maps sooner than WC

OP, do you understand *most* people who brought this game cant play it yet due to crashes and optimisation ?

I do find it funny that despite us not getting the center on launch we still got an achievement for the center in which no one can obtain yet ;P

There's the mod map Svartlfehelmisiem (or whatever), but..... it's not the best. Still, if you're looking for something that ISN'T the Island, it's definitely that. Or, not that.

Wrong impression, good for us, just have a look what has been already released in mod content. Its going same as is it did with ASE, by the time we will get all the good stuff from modding.

The new Svartfelhelmisiem looks like it used a lot of old ark terrain and assets it definitely does not look like the island in terms of quality. I flew around the map and uninstalled it after as I can play the completed version on Ark evolved as the new one looked the same.
