No point to breed dinos to be higher level and stats

[AbyssWanderer]

You take 3-5 days to fully breed and train a drino to adult form. Takes plenty of food and recources to get one.

On the other hand you get players like me that can tame plenty of dinos in one day. So lets say I get 10 trexes and level them all up about to 200+. Those 10 dinos will wreck your poor old dino you spend days on breeding making you realise that there is really no point to it but only usefull in PVE servers but PVP nope.

You can breed dinos above server cap (I think).

I was breeding my high level pick of the litter dinos on my 'real' game. Then I foldered that and started taming adnd breedingankys. I tamed a bunch (tranqued but x10) of lower level ones 40-96)I mated two seperate pairs ( x10 incubation; x50 mature for the test) I luckily got a male and a femal second gen. One was level 118 the other was level 196. But I dont think levels realy matter since stats dont scale other than when you raise them through 'normal' leveling. But the baby from that pairing was a level 200 that was higher level and had all the best stats of any of the first 6 I saw. It didnt have higher than any of the 6 just matched the best configuration of all of them. Going to breed another 3rd gen until I get a third gen pair then going to mate them to see if you can eventually improve the stats above any of th eparents.

Not sure if you can or not even with generations, but just testing it out now.

But you cant tame a version like you can breed. Unless you hit the RNG rainbow.

I can see that breeding was meant for PvP, because there is no real reason for doing it in PvE other than "just because I can".....

Well lets be honest, you are playing a survival game, and there is supposed to be pvp. In PvE you are more or less playing a sandbox game with barly any risk.

Funny that this survival == PvP assumptions always shows up. From a realistic point of view, it would be absolutely stupid to kill everyone on sight if you're on an island like this, as no single person could survive this. (please, no dicussions about realism in a game that lets you tame a Rex by tranqing and then feeding it)
Tribe warfare over rare resources, once the basic needs are fulfilled, makes sense again, that's basically what humaniy has done throughout all of written history and most likely before.

That's why I'm looking forward to the advanced tribe relations they'll hopefully add. Stuff like declaring war on other tribes in PvE. That kind of balanced and challanging PvP is what I'd love, not the 'I'm gonna stomp ya, cause I can' stuff that's going on on many servers (even without the whole PvO thing).

Breeding, especially for trading with other tribes, can be quite useful in PvE. You might have a couple of good Ankylos, while another tribe may have a couple of good Mammoths, so why not trade the offsprings so each tribe has the best possible mounts for gathering.

I kind of agree, breeding is cute / fun, but as gameplay, it is not really worth the time to invest in it, with my current dinos I can gather easily more that I need (PVE server) don't see the point of wanting a better one (except maybe for a bird, but even then, not sure)

[wiz12268]

Yeah until they change it so you can get CURRENT stat (not what it was when you tamed it) it is pretty Meh.

On a server that has it multiplied it isnt horrible, somthing like x5 incubation and x10 mature,

But on official or standard timers its really not worth the effort right now. Beyond the novelty factor which goes away pretty quickly.

The point is the mini game. There are people out there that LOVE breeding features in games and here it's just something cool to have (Pokemon anyone?). It's not a necessary mechanic and yes you can get a really great dino from a wild tame, but the breeders can do it their way and get just as good of a dino in the long run. It's the same ends with different means.

It may take a while, but a baby rex that hatches at lv180 with the high base stats of its 100+ parents will be on par if not better than some of your tames once fully grown/trained. While the physical taming of a wild 100+ Rex may be faster than the hatching process, it still may take you days to find that perfect lv120 Rex. I guarantee you didn't get ALL of your 10+ lv200 Rexes in a couple of days.

TL;DR Taming and breeding both have their benefits, and it's really just about having fun with the game while still getting a great reward. If you don't find breeding fun, then you can choose to rely on wild tames. It's just another feature of the game but still yields a great reward.

[Defektiv]

No point in arguing with people who can't think for themselves.

[His Quivzness]

actually considering the randomness of tames, its quite possible to make a superior lower level dino using breeding, than can be obtained through a a high level tame. Lets say a lvl 10 tame has 5 levelups in melee and 5 in HP (highly unlikely, but for arguments sake). Now i find a level 8 has 6 levelups in melee and 2 in oxygen, and another with level 8 with 6 levelups in Hp and 2 in stamina. So by breeding I'd get a level 8 with higher HP and melee not to mention small bonuses on the less useful oxygen and quite useful stamina making a dino with a lower level but superior stas.

[Obiwan]

if you wish to be single minded about the applications of priortising stats on prize breeding dinos you are right.

However if you do anything other than yobbishly battering down thatch huts in a mack truck to make your e-peen feel a bit bigger there are MANY reasons why this is a fantastic new feature.

After i build my maaster ankylo and come kill your trex. then you can tell me how worthles breeding is. Til then stfu! No one wants to hear about how you dont like how long it takes "so its worthless" dribble...

By then ill have 50 rexes outside my base. Already at 100+ dinos in my base. Have 30+ dimos. All of them high levels. Come with your poor ankylo that took days to breed one 3rd generation or 4th one. Strenght in numbers mate.

Are you arguing for the sake of it? That's what is coming across.

Yea dude, I'll train a thousand alphas and stomp your baby ankylosaurs. I got this.

Lol

[Phantasm98532]

I think it would be awesome if the dinosaur you bred ended up having the alpha moniker and carrying the buff ability for the animals around it.

[Timekeeper]

One of the most idiotic post I have read to date. First of all is this official or on an unofficial? Because we are the #1 tribe on our server and I can tell you 116+ rexs are rare (Especially ones that don't have junk stats). It's far more efficient ESPECIALLY for raid dinos. Brb god teir health and attack rolls on a single rex, then you can keep passing those down to the next generation. You will have rexs that no naturally tamed dino could ever beat.

"50 rexs" outside your base. Yeah good luck finding 50 rexs worth a ♥♥♥. What server are you on I would like to come visit you.

You're another one of these guys whose entire plan/strategy exist in your head. Just because something sounds good in theory doesn't mean it'll work in practice. 50+ rexs im loling hard. Inb4 we find out you're on a unofficial with 100x tame.

[Darckray]

Breeding a dino's easier than having to look for 120+ lvl dinos, but i agree about something tho, there's no point in breeding in SP, why would you need stronger dinos when normal 120's are already OP? We need a real challenge, Alphas' are not enough, they're easy to kill and you don't need any skill to beat them at all.

I would like the devs to make the wild dinos stronger, because right now, the game's too easy in Pve/SP

[Peaceful Negotiations]

you relise that with your 200+ dino its not going any higher , but with 5 to 10 generations of babies ill have a 1000+ dino that would kill everything you toss at it , then youll be back on the forums talking about how breeding better dinos is unfair to you cuz you dont want to breed.
