Inb4 wildcard nerfs troodons to be as worthless as gigas, since people can't learn to adapt

Personally id much rather they made the peggy ♥♥♥♥ off, on top of the theiveing stuff on high tame servers i leave a horde of the bloody things that I've "tamed" across the various areas and then later panic briefly when a death message floats up for the bloody things.

Troods are annoying but I like having sumthing to actually worry about, just move them a bit further inland and off my boat i'l be happy lol.

Most troodons you have to literally walk up to almost touching distance of them before they become alert of you. Also, listen to sounds. They have a very distinctive pitter patter quick feet sound to them. Glowing eyes, and every 30 seconds they make a noise that isn't too dissimilar to something you would hear in the Exorcist movie. Their noises are legit ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up scary. Very rarely has a troodon killed me since I worked all that out. Plus having your run speed over 125 makes them very easy to get away from by zig-zagging through trees. GIT GUUD, as they say. :)

Yeah it's just stupid. Everyone complains about difficult dino's. And then it sucks even more because Wildcard listen to them and make them useless. Won't be long before therizino's and troodons become just another average wild dino. Well done community.

Yeah, as soon as they touch a tree. They seem to get glued to it. And then I don't have to prepare to run a mile lol.

I really hope they don't nurf troodons any time soon.
I'm breeding them for speed, health, and damage to put in between the walls of my base along with pegos.

I figure the last thing anybody wants to deal with after they breach the wall is a hoard of the little buggers knocking you out and running off with your things.

Totally agree it's ridiculous how much people complain about them personnaly i'd rather just tame and breed a army of them really funny turning lights off in base at night and seeing the glowing eyes in corner

A pike may not save you if you don't have high fortitude and/or stimulants as a single Troodon can paralyze you within seconds.

Assuming you get hit several times without realizing it, don't have fortitude, or a bola, or a nearby tame, or..

However the pike knock back with a bola and stims ought to be enough for any one troodon even then.

Point being everything in game is disposable, and if you really don't want to lose it don't use it. You can mitigate risks very early on, and there's a counter to literally every threat on the island.

I agree that pikes are an excellent weapon against Troodons, however my point is it's best to use stimulants and have good fortitude along with using one.
