BobbleHead30 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Electrophorus - The Therizino, Troodon and Jellyfish combined In a few days, these creatures will be pushing their way on to Xbox, which worries me. From what I have seen they have the speed and pack sizes of Troodons,The insane aggro distance of a Therizino, and the powerful capabilities of the illusive Cnidaria. Can anyone on the PC side of ark confirm how these sea devils work? I'd really like to explore the vast oceans of ark, but i simply cannot once these creatures are out knowing that they can shock and dismount. I'm not even sure if I'm safe to take my Plesiosaur out. (wonder if building a box around the drivers seat would help fend off too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumitesi Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Imagine jellyfish with bigger Packs, aggro range almost the size of render distance and faster than a player with flippers and zero oxy. That's the electroaids. Watch your Plesio become either a nice decoration on your base or eel food when the patch hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I better tame one up fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Squids do the job too. Just gotta not panic. Eels and jelly dont stunlock and are easy to kill before they reach you. Worst that can happen is they clip into the squid's body and make you stuck, but if you have it on passive and following, when you dismount and swim away the Squid will be free. Just dont panic, you have 8s stun then 2recharge, dismount on recharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacejam Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 head the warning, STAY Clear of the ocean after the electric eels drops. Don't bother hitting under water caves anymore they are not safe places to hide. the electric eel is a fast spreading cancer you only catch when entering the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilelv Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I hate them so much. they nearly killed my 227 squid because they all stacked inside the body of the squid so I couldn't move anymore. the only thing i could do is unmount and follow/passive my squid but as soon as I unmounted (even tho I tried to time it so their shock attack was on cooldown) shocked me and I died 2 sec later.I respawned mounted one of my itchy and run there as fast as I could. they took down 15k hp in less than 1min. Glad my squid survived. These eels are cancer. they need to add a crowd control reduction after each stun so at one point you can either move or attack and not be stun locked.

Dracul Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yeah eels are broken as a whole, they single handedly made all but two aquatic tames nearly obsolete. Wildcard seems to be hell bent on cheesing its own playerbase with troods KOing any newbies on sight, instant dismount jellyfish/eels and stunlock baryonyx. Can't wait for them to figure out how to set ants on fire so they immolate and fear all the flying mounts. Jokes aside, eels are badly designed and poorly implimented, even tamed they are bad. (As they are ALWAYS at the lowest follow setting apparently, and reliably get stuck in everything, including players.) Worst collision box sense squids.

Crows Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 They need to be fixed. They shouldn't be allowed to stack inside of your dinos body to trap it, especially a squid, and their aggro range is too large AND their electric shizzle is too constant. I'm not going to just sit here and say "Yeah they're cool! can't wait to tame a few!" no... they just make the ocean more painful that it can already be at times.

Dracul Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yeah only dino that im aware of currently to be immune to jellyfish/eel electrocute attack is the Basilosaur, everything else has its rider dismounted except for squids (who are slowed and unable to attack while electrocuted).

544Predator Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I just think the tame with Therizinosaurus Kibble is taking unfair longer than other kibble tames. If i can trust on the time tables from arkpedia!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i can trust on the time tables from arkpedia!? Why would you tame any carnivore with kibble these days? (other than a Thylacoleo) To tame a L150 Wild Basilo is 18 minutes with 35 x Therizino Kibble and you get +70 levels. To tame a L150 Wild Basilo is 12 minutes with 37 x Raw Mutton and you get +69 levels. It's really a no brainer. Forget the kibble mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im refering to this Site: http://ark.gamepedia.com/Basilosaurus And there it says 10h 06m for a Level 150 to tame with Therizinosaurus Kibble. So it is 18 minutes you stating, this helps me alot! I never tried because i was afraid of the long taming time. The Kibble i have tons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counters work in Pokemon because if your opponent sends out a water-type and you have fire on the field, you have the option of switching to either a nuetral type or a counter to their water or use strategy keep your fire on the field, debuff or sweep it with a thunder punch or something. In Ark, encounters are final and combat has very little strategic diversity. You cant rapidly change your mount, and any dino that's countered by another is 100% countered, they don't have that pocket thunder punch. They get in a situation they can't win, they just die. This means in the water, you're forced to use Basilo or something that can outspeed and maneuver eels like mantas and icthies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
