this has to be a stupid mechanic to implement.
What is the reasoning behind it - because it collects pearls ?
Will they start to impose timers on other dinos ?
Modders will remove the timer but no good for official players once again.

Beacuse trolling the player base is awsome fun.

The most likely reason is because it buffs underwater loot crates.

Because everything explodes after it sings to you! Real question is, why doesn't it sing?

Liopleurodon:

Prefers Giant Bee Honey to tame.
The Liopleurodon is a temporary tame that lasts 30 minutes.
The Liopleurodon buffs underwater loot crates, providing the player with even better loot than is possible without it's special powers.
At the end of the 30 minutes, the Liopleurodon disappears.
No saddle is required to ride this creature.

Waiting on a mod to remove the time limit before I bother to try this one then...

I've been hoping for a pearl dino for a while...still beats me why the diplocaulus didn't get that capabillity along with it's damage buff to trilobites. But I'm not gonna bother taming one if I lose it again a few minutes later, even if it is a pearl dino.

Jeebus...there goes a wasted chance for an accurate version of one of history's greatest predators ever.

It's not a pearl dino. They removed everything the dossier said about it and ushered in the current mechanic wich gives a slightly better chacne of a lootcrate being found.

The main benefit of the Lio is it's ability to give "luck" which buffs loot crate items. This ability has to have some sort of limitation on it thus we restrict it to 30 minutes of use. Pearls can now be gathered using an angler fish with the bite attack.

Temp tames just suck , There is enough grind in the game , On the current route wildcard is going they may as well make it free to play as the grind is going on near the same as one of those games . grind doesnt equal fun nor does it equal a job.

They want you to spend more time on something that only lasts 30 mins so if something occurs you will have to just tame another rotfl....
