Wich useless ark dinos need a TLC and what do you think they should get?

[Hog Of Hedge]

The tittle is pretty self-explanatory.

[Hog Of Hedge]

Here is one - spiders! I would give them a decent buff and increase their stam by a LOT. It would also be awesome to be able to climb walls and ziplines or even create temporary ziplines. Or their inventory acting as a mortar and pestle and maybe produce a replacement for silk or fiber. And maybe to tame them, you would need to knock them out, capture them and passive tame more calm ones that would still attack wild creatures but not their captors. This would make taming less frustrating but a bit harder wich would balance out the buffs it would get. Just some ideas. I also think female elks need something to be useful.

If ever an ark Dino needed a tic, it has to be the Carno, which at present has no meaningful role tamed. Like wearing crafted chitin armor, if I see a player with a carno tame I think “ewww, doesn’t know any better.” or “peasants r teh dumz.” As to role I am somewhat at a loss except to say that ankys seem Op as farmers, being the best gathers of about 3 dozen kinds of mats atm. Perhaps car is could become crystal or faint gatherers, with pachys taking the other. They also are in need of some love.

I thought of a footstomp ability for a carno wich would pin smaller dinos to the ground, making them good at taming or killing smaller dinos or players. Or even a rhino like charge.

This sounds better than what I had, which wasn’t much. I like your idea better. Also I really like your ideas about spiders. I think those are great ideas.

Actually Carnos are Very Good augment to Base defense

they totally knock back Tough attacking Dinos ,when mixed in a pack of other Defenders ,like Rex

>giving your Dinos "free" shots at the Attacker(Trikes do it too,but ar to slow to keep up w the attack)

edit> Carnos hatch super fast too>so they are easy to replace cannon fodder ,that allow your best dinos to survive..if you send in the Carno 1st (just get a decent mated pair)

[Boomer Voncannon]

Perhaps true in pvp. In pve base defense is almost unnecessary with rare exceptions like npc tribes in extinction core.

Lystro and theirs XP bonus gimmick .

1: Pachycephalosaurus - There's literally nothing this dino can do which can't be done by other tames or tools around the same level as it. It has no reason to exist in the game right now, not even as a threat to the player like bats or spiders. In my opinion it should be given the abillity to break rocks and collect flint at a higher rate, as well as a weight reduction for flint in it's inventory; we currently don't have a dedicated flint gathering dino, and if this were given to the pachy it'd make it useful right up into lategame.

2: Brontosaurus - Used to be good, until it was nerfed into the ground, then nerfed some more. In PvE it made for a decent land caravan and mobile base with better carry weight/defendabilltiy compared to a paracer, and in PvP it was a mobile fortress which you could use to attack enemy bases. But now it's pitifully weak, and can't hit any small creature below it's feet because of it's attack box nerf. I have a screenshot in my gallery of three brontos fighting one raptor...the fight lasted for several minutes, and one of the brontos was almost killed. Now paracers are a far better mobile base, despite the loss of carry weight, because the bronto can't fight for tintoberries, and from what I hear few people bother to use them in PvP too. Bronto's need to be un-nerfed back to where they were before, then buffed a bit higher on top of that.

3: Diplocaulus - This is a great idea for a dino, allowing low level players to get a foothold in the ocean even before unlocking scuba. But there's a problem - because they only spawn in the swamp, and are killed by everything the moment they appear, they're practically impossible to get hold of for an advanced tribe, let alone new players. Something needs to be done to make them more accessible to the players who would want/need to use them. And while that is being adjusted, give them the same damage buff to eyurypterids that they have on trillobites, and make them good at harvesting black pearls too - give them a use way into lategame.

4: Dimetrodon - Broadly the same as the 'caulus above, a great dino for early/mid tier play to hatch eggs before a player has ACs, but because they spawn in the swamp and their torp drops stupid fast, they're way too difficult for the players whom they are designed for to get hold of. They too need to be made much more accessible.

Archaeopteryx: aka the glider dino,
Honestly it would be amazing if it was a shoulder mount just make it fall alot faster sort of like a parachute but slightly faster fall as right now what use do they have flyers, gliders and parachutes all out do them not to mention you gotta carry them around unarming yourself in the process.

Charlicotherium: Aka the beer drinker dino,
What purpose do these even have pve and pvp they take beer to tame which is too time consuming for single player and non-dedicated,
They dont seem to have the attack or health to be useful or be a good collector or anything outside of chucking dirt.

dimorphodon: aka the waste of space that helps the dragon dino,
Seriously do these even have Any purpose at all o.0
Most people i know just replace them with either meat eaters or something from another map as anything is more interesting and useful.

Gallimimus: The speed dino that trys to orbit planets,
Honestly above displays it's problem it has speed just it's turning is so terrible that if your not in a perfectly flat and straight area it's useless (yeah perfectly flat and straight that totaly explains most maps now days... ) Is it seriously too hard for them to fix it's planet orbiting even the wyverns make fun of it.

Pegos: aka that dino Every server deletes/replaces,
Seriously outside of stealing stuff from you do they even have a purpose outside of pvp.

While they are not very old i would like to see a tlc on the movement of the basilisk since it gets stuck Way too much,
On abberation light pets as they have 0 purpose off of abberation.

And i have 0 issues with anything on ext everything has purpose (some abit too much purpose)

[Lordbufu]

Tbh all i want is a better landing animation for Wyverns, i know it not much of a TLC addition, but i feel like its really needed.

[Boomer Voncannon]

@Fate dimorphs are fine. Quite clearly you’ve never tamed several high level ones, leveled damage and health and used them to slaughter rexes in under 30 seconds. They are quite deadly and their small moving hit box means anything without an aloe attack has a helluva time hitting them. Guess you and your folks didn’t get the memo, but they can go into every cave on your shoulder and in any kind of numbers they straight up wreck @#$&.

[Fate (-{SoH}-)]

@boomer rexs in under 30 seconds o.0 i can that do with a sword and shield while naked in less time.

Also compared to the vulture the dimorphs got nothing.

A high lvl dimorph chases me meh who cares,
A high lvl vulture chases me (pulls out the shotgun) "Your not breaking my armor again!".

I am not sure early ocean mount is a viable niche for them. Beavers, Icthys, Sarcos, and even some land dinos like Iguanadons are far better at that role. I would like to see Diplocaulus used as a biotoxin generater like whales make oil. Maybe do something with all amphibian eggs as well, right now they are pretty silly. You should be able to make some sort of gel out of it.

Chalis are actually pretty good. Extremely powerful and mobile gun mounts, which makes them excellent for tanking creatures while you tranq them from the saddle. They are also one of my favorite berry gatherers, and until the Velosaurs came out they were the best PvE base defense dino out there. They are a massive pain in the neck to tame though.

For me, the most necessary dinos for a TLC are:
Diploducus- Should be self explanatory, the gimic is just useless
Wooly Rhino- Not actually bad right now, just so very boring, and not actually good enough for anyone to use them. When was the last time anyone was happy to see and acendent Wooly Rhino Saddle BP?
Pachy- Just a completely useless animal, it should be a lot bigger and a lot more useful
Mammoth- Same problem as the rhino

I never tame any of these creatures any more, because they are just so meaningless

80% reduction on wood in there inventory, id say that's rather big bonus compared to other wood gathers out there. It's certainly enough for me to use it with a quetz, i use them a lot still.

Even there health pool is huge bonus ...

Sure they dont have a lot of special tricks, but does a gathering dino really need more special things ?

[Wansin]

Pachys and Carnos need a lot of love, i like all the ideas, but for the mammoth, i'm only missing a plattform saddle, now you can with mods, but as always, why the devs will fix someday his game?? the modders do for them free...
