direwolfs and saddles

[Rodso]

so with the direwolf not having a saddle it does from a stats point of view make it a bit weaker then other dinos due to the loss of armor from the saddle.

i think its time for saddles to loss the silly and unrealistic armor value and proper mount armor be added

[Bad Brad]

I have to give you a -1 for this idea.

It's cool that there's a mount without a saddle in this game. And the Direwolves are completely awesome. If you want it stronger then get 2 or 3 to follow you and make a pack :)

the armor form the saddles is what makes fresh tamed dinos that much stronger then wild. they archieve a lot of dmg reduction form the armor stat and leaving the direwolf without saddle is just...unfair. as well as it would be a pain to ride something without saddle for some men^^

And the fact that you are driving it and not the AI. I agree that dino armour would be cool but I will trust the devs to implement stuff at their own pace. They have done us good so far!

The lack of saddle will probably even out when the pack buff gets implemented. All this does right now is discourage lone wolves, much like how lone wolf gameplay isn't really encouraged by this game either.

true ive also noticed that direwolfs can attack faster then other creatures so i can get in more hits before they can get some

Maybe if you're using garbage Primitive saddles.... Try testing it on an Alpha Rex. Even a Ramshackle is a pretty big improvement.

Primitive saddle on my rex. Can easily take out an alpha rex. Took saddle off, set it to attack another alpha, it still owned the alpha

...that's my point. If you're using a garbage primitive saddle, of course you're not gonna notice that much of a difference.

A single wolf is already more damaging than a saber; leaving the saber with only an armor advantage.

Um, no? With the primitive saddle on, my rex wasn't even 1/4 of it's health down. Without the saddle, only an extra 100 was gone. Saddles really don't do anything. It's basically wearing an incomplete set of hide armor. If you get lucky, EXTREMELY LUCKY, you will get a saddle close to a flak helmet. In other words, a full set of hide. Not much protection at all

imo, saddles would look ugly on direwolves

yeah the primitive saddles are a joke armor wise. but i got a red supply drop last night that had a red quality rex saddle in it that had 500+ armor on it. that is going to make a differance no matter how many hp it has.

WOLVES NEED NO ARMOR.

People in his thread don't seem to understand how saddles work. They help a LOT. They don't stop a certain anount of damage such as an arrow or to. They stop a percentage of damage taken each and every time they are hit.

I don't remember the math exactly, but I think a 25 armor saddle stops like 33% damage and it scales up a lot as saddles get better. For example, a 60 armor saddle makes you take almost no damage at all.

Are you sure it was 500+ armor and not durability? I would love to see that.

lol well the saddles help a lot when you make higher than primitive ones. Freggin ascended has such a stupid amount of armor that i can't even comprhend it.

[Charnel]

It would be interesting if they made it so nothing requires a saddle to ride..but if you dont have a saddle they are tougher to turn and control and possibly not able to be commanded to attack..that way you could go tame something and ride it back to base then craft a saddle for easier control

for a while in singleplayer i always spawned in ascended saddles to my tamed creatures twas wonderful nodays i only give myself ascended tools and a few weapons to lessen the grind
