Benefits of tamed X-dinos
Is there any reason to tame an X-dino if you have the option to tame a normal one?
Wild X-dinos have some pretty high damage resistance from tamed dinos and players, but it seems that they lose their bonuses when tamed.
Is there some other bonus that X-dinos have when tamed that makes them worth taming?
It takes a lot more tranqs to tame an X than a normal dino, but it seems like they're exactly the same post-tame, so what's the point? (aside from the cool re-texture)

No benefits. Developers just trolling you (no joke).

That's what I was thinking it seemed like.
Guess it's worth checking for non-x varients in another biome before taming an x.
It's a bit strange when a 180 tek rex is easer to bring down than a 150 x-rex.
I hope they add in a bonus or we find out there already is some bonus somewhere.
I don't suppose someone's tried walking an X-Allo (volcano biome) into lava?

The "fire dinos" seem to hurt in lava when wild so I would assume the same when tamed

so far seem like they are biome locked I tryed to teleport a saper to bog to use do to it's speed and I ported to the bog without it. So im not sure bring it by cryopod is a good idea as the game seems to be despawning ferox after they hulk cycle. once you log off you come back to them gone even your number of tamed dinos go down to what you have left. Anyone else getting this problem?

@Yveltal Regalia you're wrong. Unless its prevented in Officials?
I have brought my dinos to other biomes via the teleportation. They follow. Don't mount, I suppose it works the same as boss teleports.

Only thing I hate in this is the 5 minute black screen time.

Had to check that in SP as soon as read it.
Could teleport a Fire Trike to Ocean SE, while sitting on it during teleport.
