Lv. 250 Super Turkey ruined my game

[Atrushan]

This is just wrong. I played on a local host, with the difficulty reduced to a level I can handle. Nothing out there (including me) was above level 20. I had tamed 15 dinos so far.

Then a random Dilo attacks them. My Trike strikes back, accidently hitting a nearby Super Turkey. Game over. Every single one slaughtered. Thank you for this totally broken unit and for breaking my fun as well.

I can understand if they need to be "super" hard in online servers. Otherwise everyone would just summon Dodorex like crazy. But at least in local host they should stick to the difficulty of the world. I've seen Alpha Dinosaurs that I had less trouble dealing with.

super tardkey is for groups only nothing none of the events are for single players less than 3-4 stupid i know..events just a waste and anoying ...sadly but true.

takes my single wyvern 5 shots to kill a turkey. there hard, but far from needing 3-4 people if your using even semi decent mounts.

your full of ♥♥♥♥ and basteing in it.. turn over your cooked.We know the truth

[Odoyle]

the only thing breaking your fun is your own stupidity of leaving the dinos on aggressive. why would you come cry on the forums about your own dumb ass move?

I agree. My tribe mare solo gathered 480 wishbones in couple of days using wyvern (official server). But yes, tryke would not stand a chance against it...

If the only reason you are playing on such a low difficulty is because of the taming times....then maybe increase the taming multiplier to something more reasonable? Like 10x or even 20x if you dont want to wait around? A nice high level trike is really strong for a starting toon and you can tame it as soon as you can learn the slingshot engram. Though. A trike isn't going to help against a sturkey.
While you are at it, maybe increase the gather rate too. Vanilla rates, imo, are super grindy if you are playing solo.

@ tmora2: Again you seem to forget (or just ignore) the fact that everything I had to face by that time was either around my level or below. So yes, they could handle pretty much everything besides alphas and that turkey. As they did.
For example I had 4 mate-boosted turtles. In the past even two of them were enough to keep a Rex busy while I took him down with Tranq-Arrows.

@ Nutcutter: Did you even read the topic? I didn't attack the Turkey. A Dilo attacked my dinosaurs, the Trike retaliated, hitting a nearby Turkey with his AOE-attack.

@ HAF: Maybe you should rethink your knowledge about behavior settings of the dinosaurs before calling others stupid. I mean you do know that they will defend themselves as long as they aren't set on "passive", yes? They weren't on aggressive mode.

@ missnik: The level cap applies to every dino. When you play with Lv. 20 max for example, you will be facing level 20 wild dinos at worst. So you go out, tame the highest dino you can get and play with it. Same goes for the very high levels, except that the regular dinosaurs you will be facing are most likely more of a threat to the player than the low level ones.

I know the feels. You are just relaxing in easy mode singleplayer enjoying the peaceful grind and what not. Then boom there goes all that fun :/. Ignore all these captain hindsights over here. Just look up the spawn commands on google. You can just copy them, open up the command list (tab default) and paste the code summoning in what you lost, and just open tab again and type Forcetame while looking at it. Granted it is cheating and all but its Singleplayer. I couldnt count the amount of times i lost stuff to me being mindless because im just chilling in SP(not to mention the bugs).

No, I'm not forgetting or ignoring that fact. I'm just saying your tactics aren't going to work very well. This type of thing is going go happen if you don't change you game play up when starting out especially. You can't count on things being low enough level always. As you've seen from this example or like you even mentioned with Alpha's. Even a pack of animals will be a problem with your lack of defenses.

@ atrushan - I only mentioned adjusting taming times because you specifically said that was why you played with such low level caps to begin with....
But whatever! Good luck.

Whistle passive. Whistle all follow me. Run. Problem evaded.
It was your own fault for not reacting in time.

That's not much of an option unless you want to have 15 Dinos following you around, half of them getting stuck behind trees and branches every few meters, the other half falling down cliffs because their turn radius is too large (for example Diplo).

Let's not forget that the turkeys weren't supposed to attack by themselves. How are the chances of one turkey lurking around my dinos the same time a Dilo would attack? I could have left them at the beach on passive, yes. But then it wouldn't take a Turkey to kill them all, because even a Dilo can kill passive Dinosaurs.

@ CluckityCluc

Interesting suggestion. My plan B was to just load an older save (I recently discovered the backup saves), but since I had build a lot of stuff in the meanwhile and it can be frustrating to have to build the same thing all over again, I'll consider it. Thanks.
Good to see that besides all those "captain hingsights", there are some people who can understand the appeal of a relaxed game in single player mode.

Which, as said before, would perfectly have worked for me if the game wouldn't have included an event dino spawning everywhere, which is simply imbalanced and gamebreaking compared to the whole rest. But since I know how to fix it now, arguing any further is futile. Others may not get tired of it anytime soon, but I don't intend to draw it on forever.

So I'll draw a line here.
Over and out ^^

OP has a point though. Think of deathworms on scorched earth. On a low difficulty setting there is no possible way to kill them with your level 30 tamed rexes. Why? Because all of them are level 1, same stats, no matter what the difficulty setting they all spawn in the same level which is balanced for max diffficulty.

(of course you can use fire arrows and oil jars but no such solution exists for super turkeys)

[Slordar]

Pen first, tames later....
Otherwise a dilo alone could kill everything if given enough time.

[J Is For Jesse]

You have plenty of hours to be more knowledgable about how to deal with things like this. That said, if you have been using turtles to tank a trex while you shoot it with tranqs well, tranq arrows are a lvl 20 engram, and stone fence foundation + stone wall are level 15 engrams. You had enough time to build yourself a safety pen just using the resources that surrounded you, but chose not to. This is your own fault for not thinking it through.

[Spider-Mimic]

if you are the owner of the local host you can hit tabe and then enter in "kill" and it should kill the turkey when you are looking at it. also if you are the owner you can just summon back your dinos soooo no real loss

But that's everyone's point. No need to try to fight it or use fire arrows or oil jars or anything else if you just play smart and have a base. A few walls would have solved all his problems. There wouldn't have been any fight or aggro in the first place if the Dilo's and Turkeys were being kept away from his dinos with walls. He's complaining at WC for including a special function for the holidays, when just proper play would have solved his issue.
