Cnnot join ANY Official server PC crossark it has been over a week and I cannot connect to my official servers that I have been playing on for 3 years. I click join and it just loads for a second and then kicks me back to the home screen. I know its been said that they are looking into it...but Jesus Christ only half the player base can access these servers, meanwhile my base is auto decaying away after 3 years. just give me a freaking answer. Please.

Official Small Tribes PvP Wipe Lets just start with the obvious small tribes is probably the best thing to ever happen to pvp, but the map balancing and teaming have gone to far for it to be enjoyable. In my opinion Small Tribes should wipe every 6 months to a Year maybe less. It came to a point in small tribes where its no longer small tribes but rather mega bases with 6 people. Do you expect us to online raid those types of bases? and before you guys say ohhh i can clap any base online you must suck. Haha good joke go back to your meshing and teaming. The map balancing is my biggest concern though aberation and scorched earth has what like six servers? and extinction has about 50 give or take any map that came out after small tribes came out got way more servers than any other map. my guess is when genesis comes out it will be the same thing aswell they release another 40-50 servers just for that map. The last thing i want to go over is duping which is self explanatory. its ridiculous how i see new bases be built and less than a week in they get mek rushed by 6 meks. duping was semi patched which was nice but it doesnt stop people get their own unique mek and just dupe that over that way when people go to mek rush bases they all have their own mek and wont get deleted. If this new anti meshing works and gets rid of 90% if not 100% which i doubt i think smalls should be wiped when genesis comes out and map balancing should have every map witht he same amount of servers or at least more to abb and stuff all 6 are very likely locked down due to abb being very easy to secure with the teaming on smalls. and only have a limited number of abbs sucks. when there are 40-50 of other maps. All in All i hope you get my point in all this

Fresh servers, new legacy Im wondering, All the official servers on ark (ps4) are now broken. Duping, exploiting and breeding have happended and brought everytging to an unfair balance. Is it a good idea to make a fresh new server official cluster starting from 0 again? Like what happened with the legacy when the official release happened.

Any tribes recruiting? My friend and I are looking for a decent, down to grind tribe. We are both English speakers and we play nearly everyday. We also have the dlc maps.

Looking for a tribe on official My character is lvl 115 looking to join a tribe I can grind whatever is needed and i have all dlcs my discord is illegalburrito#9293 my xbox is illegal4burrito im 18 and hv over 70 days played hmu

Lost all my items from a bug So I was playing in an official pve server, everything was normal until I log in today a couple hours ago; last time I logged out was in my house in the second floor, and when I enter the server it said I have been killed for a dilo lvl 20 and it didn't mark on the map where I was killed, I appeared in my house and went to the last time I was and my corpse wasn't there, so I took my pteranodon and I fly all the map that I could possibly be, and I remembered that I saw a picture of a beach with a little house made of that and wood, so I fly all the beaches and all the map I could in the time -and overextended the time just in case- but the light that mark the body is nowhere, and I don't know what happend. Somebody know something? or has experienced something similar? is there anyway that I can have my items back? I have a chibi raptor with me and it has some lvl, so it sucks to lose it like that...

Make the game for pvp better REMOVE raptorING EXTINCTION that DLC broke the game for pvp literally meks, that 3 hit a player in ground, managarms that when you try pvp them they just run away, owls dismount dinos freeze players and reduce movement on player that makes pvp as poop as its now, nerf the damage on dino to do not pass a limit since gigas with 1.3k damage are too op since it 1 hit a player , rhinos with 3k damage that without charge 1 tap a player, if extinction get removed no op tek suits that are kinda broken too, stop lying and make the raptoring caves entrances bigger. With that the game would be atleast playeable, and for the last thing WIPE OFFICIAL

When you die only you can see the green light of your dead body. Sometimes if you crash when get back to the game you are dead and can’t find that green light of your body. Would be awesome if a tribemate could see it too to find it faster (even a different color so they know it ain’t their dead body incase both players died).

Looking for an official tribe So me and my friends are looking for someone to join our tribe (official) there are 3-4 of us I have around 2000+ hours on ark with plenty of pvp and raid experience, but my friends have around 200 hours and aren’t pvp experienced we also aren’t super active except on weekends and holidays. (Cause we are all in high school)I’m look for someone lax with enough plenty of ark experience it would be nice if they had extinction experience because I don’t get much extinction in

After almost 2 years of constant breeding, every larger group now has incredibly mutated dinos that are nowhere close to what the game was originally balanced around. This means that dinos like Rhinos or Therizinosaurs deal much more damage and are much harder to kill than they were 1.5 years ago when the game released. Politically, the game is currently very stale, with alliances constant, no big conflicts and many people leaving the main cluster for others clusters or other games for a fresher and more exciting experience. A wipe would easily reset breeding back to its original state and bring these dinos back down to what they were originally, and bring back many players that have left over the last year. edit: im talking (mostly) about the Official PvP network, non-legacy, main cluster)

Can't place metal cliff platform on official PVP even if green In official pvp smalltribe I can't place a metal cliff platform anywhere in the Forbidden Zone (for example on top of the big red "flower" but also on cliffs) even if the cliff platform is green. When placing it nothing happen just the sound of it being placed and it goes back in my inventory. In solo everything thing is good I can place the platforms. What happen here? Bug or hidden building mechanics for official pvp in some area that we have to discover? Does anyone have the same problem?

Cryopod glitch Anyone else experiencing a glitch for cryopods. I threw out my rock drake and when it made the animation it didn’t throw out and lost my tame. Anyone else?

Help me please Somebody help me please cant log in any official server when i go in of couldnt find the address i lost a mana please someone help me my gamertag on Xbox is S0PPY F0X BR... No problem in Xbox because i already did everything...thanks for listening

Charcater Displacement (XboxOne) I need YOUR help ! I have been encountering a Bug on the Xbox One Official and Unofficial servers for around a year now and its irritating because I have reload ark. i have tried searching this up however I cannot find any reports or solutions. I'm starting to believe this bug only seems to happen to me which i find odd however it happens very frequently. I don't know how to describe it in words other than my character being in the location it shouldn't be. E.g On my screen I could be by an industrial forge trying to acsess it however I cant because on everyone elses screen it shows me in a different location. When this bug happens I have to try and get my characters position to link together again by getting it stuck and trying to get the locations in sync. I wasn't sure how to solve the problem so I've tried uninstalled and reinstalled Ark. I thought I could have corrupted Data however I am unsure. if you've got ideas of have solved this problem please could you post your solutions!

I keep trying to log into my main Aberration server, however every time I do it gives me a "Connection Timeout" error, with the screen constantly stuck in the loading screen with "PrimalGameData_bp" stuck loading. I've tried to reset my router, deleted and re-downloaded the application, downloaded my saved data from last night onto the ps4 to see if that was the issue, but the result is still the same. I've tried to join in on a tribemate from the Playstation party join option. I've tried to play on my alternate accounts, with still the same error. However, this is only applying to THAT server, I can join any other server just fine.  If I can get some response to this or how to fix it, that'd be appreciated. I already submitted a response form to it, since I assumed it was a server issue. However, it seems that some of my tribemates and other tribes on the server are able to log in just fine. EDIT:This is on PS4 Official servers, and not Prim+.

Xbox Snapshot_10 Time out No matter what I do, I cannot log on to my character on extinction. I've cleared storage on Xbox, hard reset, re-installed extinction dlc, had my tribemate kill me, cleared single player save data, cleared alt mac address, blu-ray persistent storage... can anyone help? At this rate I'll have to have my tribemate pod everything and move my whole base for me and move to another map... I bought the dlc, I'd love to be able to play it

Pick up Bee Hives There no longer seems to be the option to pickup a bee after it has been placed, please add the option back in. I have lost 3 bees so far due to this. (first tribe mate picked one up, we argued he did it wrong, second I tried it turned out he was right, third one was tribe mate who put one down "temporarily")

No Sessions found No sessions found on ark for a week now pls fix this.

Pls added super spyglass to official server for view more stats of wild and tamed dinos

Should I get back in? I’ve been looking to get back into the game. I’m hoping to not have an as time consuming experience as I have had in the past but I’ve had a lot of fun. I have over 2000 hours of experience. What’s the best way I should come back? I would mostly be solo. Should I do officials? Small tribes? A Cluster? Any other suggestions? And what map? I haven’t played on valguero yet.

Many Improvements needed for ark small tribes The current state of the game is very hard to play and makes it not as enjoyable as it could be. I see a lot of potential in the game and it can have a lot more players than it currently has just with a few simple but game changing adjustments. These 3 suggestions would change the game and make it a lot more playable and would encourage people that don't have as much time to play the game as well. I really hope you decide to make these changes. Thanks, Your fellow survivor - Syx Increase turret cap to 150 or 200 The current turret cap is very hard to work with and spots that would be very nice to build in are basically impossible to defend because of the current 100 turret cap, increasing it by 100 or even 50 more would make a massive difference and would enable tribes to build in places that would be initially near impossible to defend with the 100 turret cap. It would make raiding and defending way more fun and would enable way bigger battles and raids which would mean it would be a little more challenging for both the raider and the defender. Decrease transfer timer One of the many time consuming tasks on small tribes is transferring servers, many people have outposts on different server for farming resources that would normally be hard in their main base spot/main map meaning they have to transfer a lot and having the timer as 15 minutes makes it so much longer that it should be. Decreasing the timer to 5 minutes or even 10 minutes would make such a difference and would make the game way more enjoyable to play meaning the player base will grow due to the fact that not many people have the time for such a time consuming game which can be fixes with the current suggestions. Enable no collisions for structures Enabling no collisions for structure would enable tribes to build way better looking bases and let them utilize all the space efficiently, I understand it wouldn't be as realistic but it would majorly improve how people build and where people build too meaning that more spaces will be way easier to build in which would encourage people to build in the spots that are currently too hard to build in. This is also a problem since many spaces are already taken by big tribes and many big tribes raid lots of starters and enabling no collisions on structures would also allow starters to hide way better meaning they can survive for longer which would also make it more enjoyable to play the game.

In Desperate Need of Help! Ridiculous Bugs Stop Me From PLAYING THE GAME I PAID! Now, I've had this game since 2017 - but I've never played official. I always messed about on Single Player, and today, I found out why I should never have touched official ARK servers. After recently making a few friends on ARK, I've found the game more enjoyable, and I joined an official server (TheIsland47), and met somebody who was helping me grind the initial levels. After grinding through caves, we transferred over to Ragnarok (Ragnarok880) to steal some Wyvern eggs and get some milk for growing. Once I had collected about 5 eggs, and he 3, we made our way back, (I was also carrying a Cryopodded Ice Wyvern for my friend, which belonged to him and was on my hot-bar). I spawned in my bed, to find myself LOCKED in my room. To preface, I made myself a small cubby for my bed, fenced off by a door, which then opening it revealed the rest of my WOODEN house (the fact that it's wood is important here). I had my things on me, but no food or water and have been locked inside since; for probably around 3 hours now. I have all the eggs I collected on me, along with my friend's Wyvern, and multiple tames unprotected outside my WOODEN house. I couldn't use my fast-travel to locate to somewhere else, but even if I did - I would lose everything I gained that day because I would not be able to enter my OWN house. My name is Angelita, and the tribe I'm a part of, (which consists of only me because I've been on the server for two days) is called Little Angels. The writing on MY locked door is that of when you approach another server-mate's home who is offline - the familiar yellow text explaining how long you have until your structure had decayed from being offline, and whom it belongs to (in this case it was: Little Angels - MY TRIBE), along with the blue text beneath it that reads: "OFFLINE RAID DAMAGE PROTECTED". (Or something of the like - you'd think I'd know it by now). Speaking to multiple people in my server, I got a mixed response. One or two told me it wasn't unusual for things like that to happen, and it would work again after 20 hours of waiting (but why should such a loyal and dedicated fan-base/player-base have to even consider that as a normality in their games?). Some told me they've been having similar issues with being disconnected 15 times in only a few hours, or kicked out mid-flight, leaving their hard-earned tames in the sky and their bodies on the ground for somebody to drag into the water and steal their valuables, some said they didn't even believe the building belonged to me because it sounded so ridiculous, and some said that in order for this to be fixed you'd have to SUBMIT A TICKET and wait SEVEN DAYS for a response. S E V E N D A Y S!!!! A WEEK! Now, the important thing about having a wooden structure is that it decays after SEVEN DAYS of offline activity. I was low-level when I made this base, and was going to update it once I had done the cave-runs with my friend. If I have to wait seven days for a response, then everything I worked for, for two days consistently, will be destroyed! Because the game thinks I'm offline, but I'm right there STARING AT IT! I was also informed that some of the ARK team are extremely rude, and notable un-bothered if you are affected in game by something that could easily be fixed, if they actually cared about their PAYING player-base (namely joebl0w). I can only imagine what somebody who had been playing for three years would feel in my position. I dread to think. If this issue isn't solved before the seven days are up, I will be most disappointed and angry; and not just me, but everybody else that are having issues in their games and on their servers (which are notably 9999 ping as the norm) - as I'm sure this one forum post probably stands for more than just my own experiences. What do we learn from this? Play single-player...or better yet, don't buy a game that doesn't allow you to use it's primary feature - ONLINE GAMEPLAY.
