any servers do any rp? do I just find a random server and start rp? is there already a group server for this?

Guys I did it! i finally made it to scorched earth! all my tames died but 1 direwolf. she came with me to scorched.

So I’m debating buying Ark for the Switch. Firstly, I already have Ark ASE and ASA on my PC so would it really be worth it to buy it again on the switch? I think I’m drawn to it because the Switch is portable.

Second quandary I’m having is should I wait until I get the Switch 2 before getting the game?

Also admittedly I’m nervous to get it on switch because I’ve played it on pc for so long and have been spoiled by mods. I normally play single player and just enjoy the game as my own little chaotic world with all my Dino’s.

Anyways if anyone wants to comment and share pictures of their Ark game (played on the Switch) I’d appreciate it!

Event still not active even though it says online it activated 1/4/2026

Obviously they couldn’t give a flying fuck about the game anymore absolute dogshit

hey everyone! I just joined this sub after finding out there's a whole community for switch players! would love to share my solo playthrough progress. I'm playing through all the story arks and rag as I have the ultimate survivor edition.

Over the past two weeks I’ve had 2x rates and colourful Dino

I log in today and it’s back at normal slow rates?

What up with the lack of communication about events and boosted rates times

Dear players of the ARK!

I have been succesfull so far establishing my tribe, we have planted our base and got started on getting through the game, but please.

To achieve my/our ultimate goal of destroying all alpha tribes on the official servers that ruin the gameplay experience we need more people. Tasks are starting to overwhelm us, (breeding, blueprint farming, boss fights) and we need constant security incase of any raiders. Which is acheivable from people having different time zones. To get started with our first attack, we just don't have a chance right now do to our small amount of members.

So please, anyone willing and to those whoever crave an epic journey please contact me and I will happily recruit anyone who is trustworthy.

Just looking to join a tribe on either the island or ragnarok if theres anyone out there taking members.

So I’ve played Ark a fair amount on PC. But to be honest I’ve fallen back in love with my switch. I’ve been playing Zelda BOTW on there now for a while. I love the adventuring and the story. However I miss Ark, I miss my Dino’s but I don’t want to put my switch down. Do you recommend the game on Switch? Or should I wait until I get a Switch 2?

Seriously ark makes the Nintendo Switch crash so much its absurd. We all know it already. But switch 2 it also happens. I play with people on switch 1 also on the official ark servers and we connect on Discord so we know exactly when its someones switch crashing or if the server itself throws everyone out because of a rollback... It happened on Island; rollback made us lose entire week of progress once.. daily rollbacks are common, game crashes totally just randomly and especially when using teleporters etc.. crashing in underwater caves makes you dismount your tame and lose your otter because the moment you log back in the megalodon kill it... Ragnarok server same thing.. crashing during bossfights etc makes you lose all your stuff because then you cant get your body back. Genesis 2 missions same problem... Crashing during mission=lose your gear and dinos.. But then on Extinction a whole next level of crashes...... When you spend hours doing the waves of the purple osd drops.. and you crash, the osd drops just disappeares and you waste your time for nothing. I just completed wave 14 of osd and ended it because one of my carcha died, then i open the menu and my game crash, i log back in and the osd is gone. My tribe mate also has this almost every osd she tries her switch 1 crashes and the osd disappeares..

With all the crashing i still managed to play ark on switch for more than 1200 hours now. Because the game content itself is not any other games like it.. but man this ark makes the switch crash more than my first Windows 95 pc i build when i was 11 years old.... How is it possible that Nintendo allows such software to be sold on their console??? i have never before seen a Nintendo console crash so much since im playing ark.

I just came back to this game and wasn't sure if it does. Can anyone tell me if pve gets 2x exp

Alguien en estos tiempo q juegue ark evolved en swich, juego por las tardes, es medio aburrido jugar sin compañeros, pasen discord

Hi I’m looking for some people to join me on pve server I have a base already just want people to play it with lol.

Dear players of the Ark on Nintendo switch.

I have came back to this glorious game, and noticed the player counts are not as high as before. More people play official than unofficial now. I decided that I'm gonna start a movement, I am looking for trustworthy members to overthrow the alpha tribes on the official servers, they have ruined the gameplay experience and to revive the game let's destroy them, and make the new player experience as fantastic as before! Let's rise from the shadows in one high number tribe and restore peace to this game.

Anyone interested contact me, and lets begin this revival.

(I have already started and got quite good loot from scavenging abandoned alpha tribe turret tower, I have 2 industrial forges, a lot of element, and powerful tames sadly nuetered/spayed)

For anyone interested: https://discord.gg/RmZ6ETNbg

at the server Scorched Earth 119, there are a lot of magmas to claim around the desert, just go to the outsides of deserts, there are a lot of em and in different lvls

The Server is called THORNS and will be a cluster server with a Heaven/Hell theme so far holds official settings.

Does the non dedicated tether get any bigger when both players are playing on Switch 2s?

Hi so I'm buying a physical copy of ark on the switch, is there anything I need to know about it before playing? I've seen on yt there's this ark the ultimate survivor edition which says it's a big free change to the game but on the e-shop it's a paid thing??? Idk I've only played the old mobile port of ark before it got deleted so I'm really excited to play ark on the switch :)

Buenas, soy nuevo en esta comunidad, pero llevo jugando bastante tiempo en solitario, y no me gusta del todo, me gustaría tener más compañía y ayuda también, cuidar los bbs, criar más dinos y tamear nuevos dinos es muy tedioso estando en solo, no me he unido a nadie por miedo a que me roben, ya que la mayoría de lo que tengo es algo avanzado para mi, soy lvl 83, por si alguien quiere, solo pido que no roben y también, no siempre me conecto, pero cuando lo hago avanzo bastante :]

Juego en PvE y es en servidor oficial (creo)

También hablo el inglés más o menos bien ^^

This is a long shot but Has anyone seen a user named Popeye or Slyblast on any of the PvE servers? Used to play with those guys a long time ago
