F*** CARNOTAURUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was riding my Parasaur 'Sir Wacked a lot' in a forest near the south-eastern shoreling trying to find a place to take some screenshots for 'Jurassic Ark Week' when a Carnotaurus charged from the trees. I had never been attacked by a Carnotaurus before (seen a few though) so I was actually kind of excited and turned my Parasaur around and ran like hell.

I had been leveling my Parasaur almost exclusively for movment speed and was careful about not htting any trees so I began to outrun the Carnotaurus when my Parasaur got stuck on a rock.

Then I was running towards the south-eastern bay to try a swim away while the Carnotaurus ate my dead parasaur when it turns out Carnotaurus prefers humans to parasaurs and kept chasing me. I made it to the water and began to swim away and evaded the Carnotaurus just to be killed by a Megalodon.

I reutnred to the area to retrieve my Parasaur's saddle so I wouldn;t have to make another. I eventually found my Parasaur's corpse and retrieved the saddle. I was almost home-free when the Carnotaurus came out of nowhere and killed me.

Then I returned to the area to retrieve the saddle again. Though since the ai is coded to remain in it's general area unless provoked, the Carnotaurus was patroling around the saddle. So I began to crawl through a patch of gras and discovered that at a distance it would normally spot me standing, the Carnotaurus couldn't see me prone in some grass. So I took a screenshot before I began to move in: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/536273045208429931/781B609C06A537150CD553F2C3D2DCEC50C25B7D/ .

It took me a while to actually get to the saddle. The Carnotaurus would go out of sight then I would begin to move in then I would hear it stomping back (love the stomping sounds of large dinos, mkes them seem so large) then I would return to my grass. Eventually the Carnotaurus got distracted attacking an innocent turtle. So I moved in an grabbed the saddle. The turtle didn't last long so I hid in some grass, turns out this patch of grass was a little too close to the Carnotauus. So the Carnotaurus chased me, I lost it in the water, made it back to my hut, enabled the steam overlay, and posted this.

Damnit I love this game.

Nice story but the quality of your ingame graphic ... holy crap :D

And when you "outrun" a carno and get stuck in a stone, don't you have enough time to whistle him out or just turn around? I don't quite get the part where your para actually could die there.

uhhhh, ok. Did you just decide to make up a story? Carnos are not that hard to avoid or get away from

Start fresh on a cranked up private server. Hello 2 shot from something that runs faster than you.

if you have level your parasaur a bit, you should be able to kill that carno 2vs 1 =_=

Play on several servers, if he has a mount/dino should not be any problem. I can make up stories too, but why?

Lel,
Carno >>>>>> Raptor >>>>>>>>>>> Dilo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Parasaur

Seriously though, you can easily distract carno's by walking past other passive dino's. Nice screenshot though.

Not if the server uses realistic tamed dino settings like ours do.
