Doedicurus, really?

[Steel Jacket]

Now I have never complained about any of the tames so far, but good god wtf is going on here.

This thing has ridiculous torpor, I ko'd a level 20 that had 3200 torpor.... fml.

I went SP to do some more studying. These things take longer to tame than mammoths twice their level, this doesn't make any sense at all. They can gather stone on their own if you set them to wander, they have crazy health and they are nearly unkillable with a saddle on and curled up into a ball.

Why does every new creature have to be more inflated than the last? Why can't they be placed into their niche spot? Why is doedicurus so much harder to tame and more powerful than an ankylo? I understand that they are supposed to be a higher tier, but they're currently on a higher tier than mammoths which take a higher level to make their saddle..... In fact you can get the doedicurus saddle before the ankylo now that I think about it as the ankylo saddle is the same level as the mammoth.

Will this ever be fixed?

Again I have never complained about new creatures until now, but this guy is just too much. 150 tame on a doed has 13k torpor.... Am I the only one that thinks these things are a bit excessive in their current form?

Guess you haven't tamed an ankylosaurs. They take the same time to tame.

Kibble is the way to go and their kibble is easy to obtain.

As of these data - doedicurus is somewhat superior in a tanky way - ankylo deals way more damage and is able to tank, too (just not so well as a doed) - don't know who is faster and who has a bigger problem with stamina (doed has almost double the amount of stamina) - the torpor is enormous of doeds (seems like that should definitly need a nerf/balance)

The Saddle difference is lvl30 doed to lvl40 ankylo - can't say so much to those - doed saddle on lvl35 should be able to do the trick

Ankylo takes less time to tame because it has around 30% less affinity needed to tame as a doedicurus (both have the same food deplete rate [time they need to eat again])

Mammoth has a higher food deplete rate +0.2 but needs around 26% more affinity - the difference of these both stats let the mammoth take 13% less time to tame as a doedicurus

The thing is doedicurus does already has his special move others gonna follow and rebalance that stuff

I ended up just punching one unconscious took forever but it never balled up either. Broke all my armor though.

Tamed one last night. Took me 3x more narcotics to other I was taming at the same time. Lucky I had kibble

[Dracul]

I skipped through most of this crap. Both the doe's iv tamed (one private one public) were with scorpions. No matter how you do it, the end justifies the means because I picked up a lvl12 early on at a public server at now at I think 50 it still serves me pretty damn well gathering rocks at abreak neck speed. Strongly recommend new player start with Dilos, move onto Packy/scorpion then onto a Doe.

Not sure why every new creature they add has to be more painful than the last to tame.. as if taming wasn't already the most annoying/boring part of the game as is.. last thing we need are longer tames.

Mate, the egg required for the Doed's favourite kibble you get from Dilos, which makes it one of the easiest tames.

i am so sick of the devs catering to pvp players in this game, PVP is garbage.

It's a dino that will gather stone for you if you let it wander....how is that catering to PvP? Do you want a dino that goes out and finds "xp buckets" for you too? ...It's very hard to tame because it's very useful.

Bout tired of this deo... every time i get some arrows in him he rolls up,I've used about 50 now for a level 12. Do they receive no torpor at all wile rolled up?

[Leslie]

Hey!
Look!
It's a time traveler!
Get him!

[Leslie]

Just to help you out....
Doeds take 90% less damage and torpor when curled up.
Solution: never try to tame one with arrows. Use tranq darts... to the head.

edit: If it curls up... stop... wait for it to uncurl. Build a campfire, you're going to be a while.
