LilNastyGurl Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 That makes me really nervous they're going to get nerfed. I don't know, it took me awhile to get a Griffin, and now that I have a nice pool of Level 200+ Griffs, I've had a ton of fun on them, just dive-bombing everything and flying fast. When do you guys think Griffins are going to get their wings clipped? After release? Next patch? two patches from now? Never? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a nerf is to come I hope its after the Ragnarok release on console so I can at least try out this fun flying death machine before a nerf bat hits it.

I'm afraid that they have really bad news and they aren't telling us console players yet. According to the update from Jat on state of the Ark, Ragnarok comes on full release and they are supposed to be fixing service stability. I haven't seen any tweets about server stability yet.

Jostabeere Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 WC will definitely cripple them. They can't figure out that buffs to other things are better than nerft to anything. Can't wait for Achatina being PvP meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilShadow Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 It's bound to happen, its the only i flyer i use now, unless i need to bring a dino somewhere then its quetz. But between all the pople complaining that they are OP (which they arent) and how much fun they are, they are going to get slammed hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dslick Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 They are really fun, and pretty, but I want ARK to be fun, and not just Griffins Just fly around and gunning everything to death wapapapapapOW! Dive bomb damage/mechanic needs to be looked at certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ckyBandit Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'd love for the turret tracking to be improved so we don't have to lose the griffins speed burst. Obviously havent played with them myself as I'm on ps4 but they sound really fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the only flier you use, that might mean it's OP , or does that mean every other flier is under powered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptera is boring, Argy is painfully slow, quetz is even slower, but has the added benefit of carrying heavy things and most dino's. Wyvern has garbage stamina. Tapa are my close second to a griffin, but they are rare in good levels for me, never seem to find high level ones. Plus you can shoot from the backs of griffins making them very useful for taming, which i do a lot of. Also the griffins divebomb causes fps issues for me so thats a pretty big downside. But they look cool, sound cool, and have really cool animations. Even without all that, they are new, therefore more used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffyPony Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'd consider it a fair trade if they nerfed the HP but allowed for breeding. Anything else I hope doesn't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So obviously I don't have direct experience here. Something that's fast, reasonable strong, you can shoot from (that's huge) seems like a recipe to replace most other fliers, which does probably mean they'll get nerfed. The utility is balanced a fair amount by the fact they can't be bred though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloddstar Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Agreed that griffins are tons of fun. They are also saddle-less and hit like a wet noodle - they can kill things but it usually isn't worth the time. Yes, you can get some big numbers from dive-slashing but other fliers (wyverns especially) would've killed the thing so much faster. Since they are genderless they can't get any mate boosts either. I don't really see a problem with them - they have enough weaknesses that they aren't the only thing I use. They do seem to have suspiciously high hp for such a small creature though.

dslick Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 high hp is due to magicks, being mythical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidstar Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 they are also really bugged, have a REALLY laggy animation [hovering] and you get stucked in them every time... guess what wc will fix first.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verisia Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 havent had the chance to use one yet i wont pay 5k for someone to sell me one, people are always taming them, maybe ill wait a few months until the hype dies down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilNastyGurl Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 I can't think of a Dinosaur that could theoretically do what the Griffin does ingame. the Coloboro? Pterodaustro? Think the Griffin's divebomb can't really be done unless it was a very liberal subspecies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastofDeath Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I love my Griffin and hope they aren't neutered, I did enjoy the player damage when you dived bomb, had to watch that I didn't kill myself. All in all the Griffin is a fun addition to Ark flying mounts. I thing the concept was worked out before the flyer nurf and its a matter of time before my lovely 150 tamed griffin joins the list and falls some where between the Argent and Pteranodon. I did agree with a flyer nurf for pvp, saw no need for it on pve. maybe the bat hit a little to hard and I hope a tweak is on the list of game balances to our beloved flyer mounts. I have gotten used to my slow as a snail Quetzal and to the constant stopping on the Pteranodon. The Argent is still my go to mount as before the nurf it was my poor mans Quetzal and still is my go to truck of the Ark. Just my two cents.

Ulta Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 What WC should do is put the other flyers up to speed with the Griffin...and by that I mean allow at least the Ptera, Argie, and Pelagornis (maybe Tapejara) to be able to dive and pull up to pick up speed (don't' give them the ability to do damage when they hit the ground. Make them TAKE damage instead). If they take away the Griffin's ability to dive and pull up for speed, I'll be livid... Make flyer's actually fun again...don't clip the only fun flyer left in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
