Will mounts ever be able to attack?
Like when they're unmounted. It seems strange that the grasshoppers for example, are totally capable of fighting to the death when they're untamed but as soon as they become tamed, they're 100% pacifist...unless I'm missing something to make them be able to attack.

Just the spider can attack when mounted so far. Might be that they're just missing rider/mount attack animations or it's purposely made that way to make them tiered in a way. The gecko not having the tongue slap and little hops when riding was a pretty big disappointment though.

All of them were underwhelming tbh. I get that this isn't ARK and that tames shouldn't be the overall priority but at least let them defend their masters or themselves when getting attacked. I was literally getting swarmed by dawn ants while gathering and all my grasshopper or spider would do is circlejerk around and watch me die xD

You mean the way the gecko hops backwards? that would actually be kind of cool. Allow you to time attacks, move around, tongue slap, and then quickly zoom out of range. I like it.

It did? How? All mine did was run away and then leap towards whatever I was fighting menacingly and then buzz off again xD

Well it came up behind me and tried to attack the enemy that I was fighting but I killed the attacker first and so the a bite from the grasshopper hit me. It was hilarious.

The grasshopper will randomly attack stuff or run away when you dismount it

Huh. Guess I'll keep trying it out then. I haven't ever seen mine attack when it was alive. Time to tame a new one I guess.

Idk maybe he only fights small stuff like ants. In the case where I got accidently hit by my grasshopper we were figthing an ant as well.

Wait, spider can attack while mounted? I never tried it figuring it was like all the rest. Thanks for the info.

Strange, my grasshopper attacks the ants even when he doesn't follow me. Since then I never leave him alone in such an area. Lost some buddies because they wanted to fight the ants :steamsad: Bigger bugs he's scared of and jumps away.
My wolfspider only attacks when he follows and I attack the enemy first. Otherwise it would stay there and watch me die.

It's not rigged, just early access stuff. I'm sure it will get better over time. Just report that kind of AI behavior to the devs through the proper channel. Do your part so they can do theirs.

I don't know if this was after or before the patch, but have you noticed that the grasshopper (atleast) run away from potential enemies even if they're waiting or is only with specific enemies? Btw in my case my mounts do attack the enemies when they're following me, when they're wainting only defends theirselves
