Grappling Hook/Quetz Fix?
Hi, today I recently tried taming a quetz by grappling to it. Is it a bug that when you shoot it with another weapon (I used a crossbow with tranqs) and it runs away, you fall? I really thought that grappling to it would be a great and better way to solo tame one, but you fall instantly when you shoot it. Is this a bug, or will it stay this way? I do hope this gets fixed so I can solo tame a quetz.

Grapple your own flying mount
whistle for it to attack your target
Alternate between attack and passive
Profit

Grappling fleeing dinos doesn't work and never did.

if they gonne introduce this herassy to the game that you can stay hooked to it while in alert then im Quiting the game what is the fun in taming a Q that way thats just plain cheating in my eyes and dirt cheap!!! work together build a great Q platform Q pen or just dont have one at all

I understand your concern, but what if someone is all alone or playing singleplayer? Honestly taming it with a scorp is ridiculous and takes a lot of time, while grappling is really fun.

Fleeing creatures break grapple 100% of the time.

You can't just latch onto them and do solo tames ;)

Any chance that can be changed from 100% to has a chance to break? Then I would actually have a use for the parachute.

I think that should be reconsidered for the Quetz, there needs to be a better way to solo tame it. Before you could jump on it and tame it that way, extremely dangerous but fun... was eventually removed. Now we got a grapple hook, which is also very dangerous but fun but can't use it for the Quetz. Give us a fun option!

There should be a timer for the GrappHook line to break like for example 1 or 2mins, and 25% chance for it to break instantly. . . taming a Quetz should be fun using a Grappling Hook.

LOL Yeah and building a Quetz catching Platform on another Quetz is SO NOT HARD AND CHEAP RIGHT? xD

And you missed the point that there are people who play SOLO that simply don't have a team mate, or wants to do it SOLO for fun, the grappling hook should've been a way to do it to a quetz. . .

There are many ways to improve the Grappling Hook for Taming, Escaping and stuff and things.

No its not because you already tamed one the hard way ;) and btw do you really want this to be a option seeing every lvl 25 with 10 Q rdy at their disposal to wreck havok on the servers!!?? no you dont!! so pls think before you say something

Eather way we have an issue with solo taming quetz the scropian mithid works for now, but you run the risk of you killing your quetz, as far as single player is conserned it would be nice if there was an option other then this Even if Heavily Costly. i could just use Cheat comands to fly to it but honestly i rather do it in a intended way over console just to play a game its bad enough with the caves being glitched for some reason so you can just walk in and loot the creats.

I realise the game is Sold more for its Muliplayer play any one who has played single player can tell that.

Wow, way to take an obvious and fun feature for the game and... remove it?

Between this and the recent spate of high-torpor-rate dinos, I'm not sure if you actually even want people to enjoy acquiring dinos in this dino game.
