MajorTheRaptor Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm curious to see what dinos everyone dislikes, whether its useless, or just a PITA to deal with/tame personally for me it would have to be a Therizinosaur, the amount of dinos I've lost to that thing, I've recently picked up the game again after a few months away, and managed to tame a level 17 Carno (I'm still in roughly early stages from where I left, and my first one to boot) , I continued to lead, my pack of dinos, to the green obelisk aka my base. when I bumped into one. the thing was around level 20-25, and to no surprise it aggro'd on me, as a result my horde went all kamikaze on it, finally it died but left all my team with half health or under. (my dinos have 1k health or more). my team involving 2 stegos 2 Dilos 2 Raptors 1 carno so there we are that's my story, what's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomiDarko Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Nothing beats the Pegomastax! A wild one is so brutally annoying and tamed ones are so useless - as far I can tell being on a PvE server. 2nd may be Ichthyornis, but at least it has a purpose. Faster taming for Hesperornis and the Otter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind the mechanic if I could take out a spear or simple rifle, kill the little rat and then go and retrieve my stuff but the damn little thing has super high base health.

LouSpowells Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 For the Pego, just put some meat in your use spot of your action item bar. ("0" on PC) It'll steal the meat and run...then put a bit more there in case another strolls along and gets all swipey. My least favorite is the Allo...but that's just based on bad experiences logging in to having wild Allos inside my crafting area on Center map like every other day.

jackanapes Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 On our rented server I have removed pegomastax, ichthyornis, troodon, purlovia, and microraptor because none of us like jump scares. Have also removed gigas and all land alphas 'cause we can't be arsed building with metal and we live up north. Have removed leedsichthys because losing a raft full of hard-earned stuff is too boring. I actually really like theris, as a tame. I also like their scariness in the wild; silent, menacing and determined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taming a thylac is a future project for us. As for the others, I don't spend time in swamp or sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinopolis Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 You guys are really missing out on removing the Ichthyornis. If tamed early it can give you early access to prime meat and if you tamed a moschops and specialize in prime it will give you a improved yield but each to their own.

Problem is, many people would rather remove something inconvenient than attempt to adapt to it's existence and eventually use it as a convenience.

For me, it's piranha. So many tames lost over the last year to clumsy dinos falling in the water and getting munched to death. So many deaths when full of CP and also getting chased by beavers. No good resources for killing them and not tameable. I hate those little buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulta Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think the Ithchyornis beats Pego to me, just because lately I've noticed it will CHASE ME DOWN and rob me over and over. I'm not sure why it's gotten so oddly aggressive to me, but at least the Pego is slow and easy to kill. That dang bird isn't! >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamagh Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Pegos... I was on one of the new rag servers not even an hour and one of the jerks stole the pants I was wearing. AGAIN. I swear I have lost so many pairs of pants tot hem it is just sad. Later on a group of three of them stole my narcoberries, mejoberry seeds... and my pants. What is it with them and my pants?!

PeterManize Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Truth is i don't hate entirely the dinos mentioned here (therizinosaurus, ichthyornis, flying bugs etc) However if there is something that it actually makes me lose my mind is the pegos and the ichithyornis in early game. My story is this, I start naked on a island start harvest and stockpile berries (mejos and narcos) for my early tame. It isn't hard, really. I do this all the time, even for taming high level dinos that take an eternity to be tamed. The thing that gets to me, is when an ichithyornis or pego come out of nowhere - what makes actually angry at the game is when they suddenly spawn, when i kill some random creature, and they aggro at me and attack me, stealing or eating my stacks of either berries, foods or a random and important item. In one singleplayer save, i killed a parasaur and i swear to god i was gang banged by those ichithyornis (that were hunting fish and for some reason attacked me) but also 3 pegos that spawned immediately behind me and finished the job for having high levels, never i was so frustrated before. Lost food, berries and good weapons and ammo that i have spent all afternoon grinding for. 3 minutes ago, Ulta said: I think the Ithchyornis beats Pego to me, just because lately I've noticed it will CHASE ME DOWN and rob me over and over. I'm not sure why it's gotten so oddly aggressive to me, but at least the Pego is slow and easy to kill. That dang bird isn't! >< TRUE STORY! The pego is annoying, literally steals anything, even though you have a chance to get it if you find it. Just... yeah.. good luck finding it if it goes to a dense forest or even to the ocean (where it will drown and you lose automatically your stuff). However if you have bolas you it is possible to either stop him from stealing you, or to kill it. Thank god the devs made him easier to kill, before it was a nightmare when it had a large health pool. The Ichithyornis is worse, because it wont stop untill it kills you, or gets interested in a fish (which rarely happens). I think it is a bug, but it could be badly implemented. For a seagull, i always thought that it would only attack you if you had food in your inventory, that would make sense... sadly, it isn't the case. I do hope that they revise it and improve its AI. Because like you said it will chase down any survivor for ever no matter how far you run, or wherever you go. Careful if it attacks a mount with important consumables, it will take them and eat them. Specially if you use rafts to transport mounts, they get incredibly savage for no god dam reason. Side note: Then when you tame an ichithyornis, it needs your command to hunt and retrieve fish... couldn't he do it by simply letting him wandering in a river? That is so silly and an actual waste of the wandering option, the hesperornis is another example of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabnlab Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Microraptors are what I despise. I kill everyone i see just because I hate them so much, lol. Was kitting a 150 allo to my taming pen with my griffin and got knocked off from 10 feet off the ground, right at the allos feet. I tried to run but I was too slow. It ate me, then my griffin ate the allo. I then went on a microraptor killing spree, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrauchenia Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Pteranodon. These guys are everywhere, they block cool orher spawns, I seriously need to kill 40 Pteranodon in each environment I visit before other creatures finally start to spawn, and in redwood the cool thycocaleo doenst spawn at all.. Ichtyornis, they are greedy and we already have a seabird in the Pela. Paracetherium are cool, but they spawn too much, they should be less common. Titanoboa and Megalodon also spawn too much, should be much rarer. Megalosaurus is a pain too find so also annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin1984 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Ichtyornis are nasty drug addicts, everytime i get out of my base they aggro on me and steal my narcotics. Doesn't matter how many stacks of berries and meat i have, they eat the narcs. Luckily i have an ascendant simple pistol now, if i see one, i shoot it and it's always a 1 shot kill . Pego's have very low torpor, one tranq arrow puts it down Both are annoying but nothing more, the one i hate is the leedsichtys, it has no purpose at all, isn't even good for xp or resources and just eliminates every sea transport of dino's which is a pain on the center, rag. Found a 210 rex on the other side of the map? bad luck for you as you can't get it to your base except maybe with a quetz+platform... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if the leed attacks your boat even once, it sends any dino on the boat flying into the sea. then the fun begins with trying to get them on again. Cnidaria, eels and manta's usually shred them before you get to them especially on the center where you can easily get swarmed by 20+ manta's a time....
