Ark Survival Evolved has teamed up with Microsoft!
Ark: Survival Evolved contains all of the usual survival gameplay. Players are able to hunt for and grow their own food The can also craft items and use their gathered resources to build shelters. But the real draw of Ark: Survival Evolved is that it includes a variety of dinosaurs, from great, hulking behemoths, to much smaller beasts no bigger than the player character. Most you are able to tame and use as a companion or as a mount!
While Ark: Survival Evolved players can take on these dinosaurs, working with other players in the game to take down the bigger monsters, players can also train and even ride the dinos. They just knock the dinosaur unconscious, nurse it back to health with some grub and then the player can ride it around the game – or even fly it about if they train up a pterodactyl.
Tribes allow ARK players to form a group and work towards a common goal, such as defeating rival Tribes or conquering end-game bosses (the image depicted here is the prize for defeating the boss, for example). Tribes can have multiple admins and unique governance options.
Tribes will often fall into more than one of the below categories, but they tend to focus on one primary aspect of the game.
- PVE Tribe - This type of Tribe focuses on activities that do not engage other players/Tribes in a hostile way. These Tribes may focus on end-game bosses such as Broodmother Lysrix and taming rare dinos.
- PVP Tribe - PVP Tribes focus on attacking rival tribes, forming alliances, and engaging other players in combat.
- RP Tribe - An RP Tribe focuses on roleplaying and chat will typically be in-character. Tribe members are encouraged to behave as their character.
