Useless level perks for Work Ponies - especially level 12

[ARFett]

The game needs a full skill tree for EITHER work ponies or war ponies.

Also work pony perk level 12 +2 equipment is totally useless.

Other two level 12 abilities are...war pony abilities!

Instead of being able to have like 3 saddle bags on it you get the possibility of equipping only ONE kind of gear.

Meaning one saddle bag.

Only other gear so far for the work pony is a horseshoe.

So you got this one.

But the third slot is gaping open as there is virtually nothing else for work ponies.

It needs to changed so you at least give you work ponies like three saddle bags with the +2 perk on level 12.

That would at least make it useful and not a joke as for a level 12 ability...

Well, i said 1-2 because thats what the description says. LOL. Honestly i never paid attention because its completely pointless. Im not exactly sure if it adds 1 or 2 or nothing at all. There is no different, truth to be told. Not when you are at level 8+...

I leave region 1 around level 5. My ponies (at that point I have at least two) are the same level. I pump them all into const. No carry weight number changes. They only change once I actually hire a pony. After? Na.

IIRC Its about 40 ~ 50 constitution to +1 carry, so will only see significant effect at level 10 onwards. At low levels, you are better off with getting another pony, more bags, hitching post, etc..

Then they would need to rework their tool tips that you get when you hover over the const attribute on level up. Because it is nonsense.

This is what it states at level up for const (it is the same for ponies. Nothing in the description or the mechanic changes).
So, if anyone can reasonably tell and show me that this is indeed the truth and how it mechanically works in the game, I will make a 180 degree spin in my opinion.
I should, by the description, get +1 in carry capacity for the const level up. But it just doesn't happen. Not for people, not for ponies.
I SHOULD be getting +2 const (obviously), +1 carry capacity, and +4 hit points for this level up. Carry capacity, however, does not increase after.

One fun thing I just noticed when checking above screenshot:
It works when you give the const to people. Load capacity will increase. It doesn't do so for ponies? Why?
I will level up the pony and make the before and after screenshot of it, just to verify I am not retarded or just looking wrongly :D

With the new items added in CU1 and the new difficulty in CU2, ponies lost their purpose a little, they are not good to carry anymore.
The only viable things are the skills that increases speed on the map, we probably need more accessories for those or let us use 3 times the same acc like it been said.

I have lvl20 prisoners, tank type so shield and sword/mace at almost 600 constitution with the right food, I added the +100% carry capacity accessory and they carry around 360 lol that's like the double ammount of a ponie, and my ponies are lv14, stole them from merchants.
They also eat less because human, and even less because they are master cooking, sooo yeah.

Friendship Collar works with ponies. Adds 1 Happiness if they sleep near a human...

4 prisoners in stocks with armor increasing carrying capacity with pony belt item is an extra 500+ capacity. In theory you wouldn't even need ponies ( speed boost always a plus though ).

Level 20 ? where are these?

I can't even get the level 14 prisoners to join ( despite everything,toothpaste, haircut, clothes, job and resting/waiting months )

Did or have you tried to get a level 20 to Join your party?

There you go, french game btw.

When they added extreme difficulty, I tested it and found level 17 guards, they are always higher level than your team, so it's easy to find high level, I took prisoners and I then made them join my team, same with animals, I had bears and wolves lv 17 from Ludern.

But after playing for a few hours, I don't know why but the guards started to be at level 20 instead so I did it again, I even wonder if it's not a bug.
And on joining, yes, even the prisoners I use as mules I made them join my team so they could spend all their points on constitution, then put the chains back on, not very nice but effective !

I had prisoners playing on my team for a while now, before the communities updates, I have a berzerker from Ludern, I have a thief or however they are call in the english version giving everyone +30% crit dmg, some have very cool skill that you cannot have any other way, everything is good to survive !

Oh yeah, forgot this was a thing. If you keep cycling captured mercs into your team, it's hypothetically possible to get level 100 mercs.

The base stats will keep growing, with the only issue being that September's patched away the feature to upgrade gear indefinitely. At some point it'll become impossible to win with level 13 gear.

Thats great info. Thank you both. So the slave trade and merciless exploitation of prisoners is the only viable option.

for the pony equipment, found a pony only equipment recipe at the swamps hunters camp, less aggro range.

Are you sure on the increase levels though ? Before extreme, the max lvl I'd fight is 14, then it became 17 with extreme, then yes I had this weird +3 lvl from guards, but it never happened before, that's why I am wondering if its not a bug.
That say I play on region lock so maybe this is why it doesn't increase as I capture new/higher prisoners.
I have to say it might become a probleme if they keep increasing, but higher means more HP they have and quicker they die to dots so it should be fine~

That's interesting, this is probably the last item of this category I don't have, thanks !
