  • Introducing the Equus!

    large.Dossier_EquusMagnus.jpg

    Common Name: Equus

    Species: Equus Magnus

    Time: Pleistocene

    Diet: Herbivore

    Temperament: Loyal

    Wild

    Equus Magnus appears to be an ancestor of the modern horse. Based on its stripes, it may be the African Variant of Equus Giganteus, which appeared in North America during the Ice Age, but that is pure conjecture. Its behaviour in the wild is similar to that of other wild members of the Equus genus - it sustains itself by grazing, while keeping safe from predators by living in herds and outrunning its attackers via superior speed and stamina.

    Domesticated

    Horse and man have long been partners in survival, and this remains true on the Island. In Equus, survivors will find a trusty steed or pack animal that can carry them swiftly across the land.

    In fact, Equus’ reliability has led some survivors to construct special saddles for them. I even encountered a man who added extra saddle-pouches that doubled as mobile crafting stations for chemical supplies, foodstuffs, and other items. Although not as robust as what you might find within a village, this utility helped him live a nomadic, solitary lifestyle.

    Some survivors employ Equus to herd other creature with extra-long whips, or wrangle using a specialized lasso. These tools are sometimes effective for self-defense as well, as Equus is limited in battle on its own… at least compared to aggressive prehistoric carnivores.

    Thank you so much! Non horse lovers just would not understand! Wyverns, Raptors, and now horses! 

     You guys have made my dream world possible now! If only in video game world that is just fine by me. I couldn't afford the time and money for any of them in real life. Wild card you have now become my most favorite game of all time!

    Now if only we can attach a standard on their saddles while we ride around in full flak armor.

    Flak armour naa all you need is a cowboy hat and a 6 shooter and an eye mask and hi ho silver the lone ranger will be riding into town it shouldnt matter that these towns are full of dinos if theres injustise to be dealt with the ranger will be there.

    Actually, including this Dossier there are only 20 Dossiers for unreleased creatures. 7 of those creatures are being released this month in one Patch, which would only leave 13. It is very feasible for them to release in 2017 at that rate.

    They are adding SO many more creatures at once these days that I think you are being a little pessimistic. I mean the next PC patch contains 7 creatures and I am sure the next will be just as jam packed since all the other creatures have finished models

    Because the fans who really wanted it were constantly being yelled at and crapped on by players who didn't want it and being rude about it. I tried to help defend one guy but people can get pretty awful if they want.

    So what... In may/june it goes into beta... 6 months of optimisation n then it's finished? Yeah right... I don't think I'm being pessimistic... I'm being realistic...

    I think it looks and sounds great, just wish they would fix all the bugs and problems with what they have first. Make all 100% working before you add more.  IMO.

    Having horses begs for a stable.  Can we get stall doors (one wall wide, horse can look over) to go with this?

    Well, now Ark's got a horse. Eh. I mean, I ride horses in every other video game I play so it's nothing really exciting save for possible new mechanics which aren't even tied to the horse. I'm happy for the horse lovers, but just more food options for my Allies, I guess.

    There are different teams for content and for bugs and people who work on both. There isn't a time when they are only focusing one or the other no matter how it seems. Also the game wouldnt work at all if they didn't bug fix
