Dino Taming Rework Idea. Less time, add basic kibble.
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2015 12:46 pm
Taming times should be cut dramatically. Specifically in the case of the starter dinos. To fit with the lesser time, a lesser amount of food and narcotics would be needed.
We already have a strong incentive to try and keep our dinos alive with the levelings system, but the severe amount of time it takes to tame them makes bad luck that much more frustrating. When even the most basic dino takes 15 minutes to tame having a random raptor pack or higher level carnivore show up and kill you/your dino....it's just soooo much time lost.
Suggestions to improve the current situation.
Create a tier list of dinos:
Tier 1 - 5 minute tame time (starters like the Phiomia or the Dilo)
Tier 2 - 15 minute tame time
Tier 3 - 30 minute tame time
Tier 4- 1 hour tame time
Tier 5 and above - custom to each special critter.
Give us the option to create low quality kibbles:
These would be generic kibbles, one for herbivores and one for carnivores. They would be less effective than the dino's preffed food, BUT, they would have a 1 day spoil time so it's much easier to keep them on hand. Basic Herbivore kibble would use X berries of any kind and Basic Carnivore kibble would use X raw meat.
