Ranger1 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Perhaps this is a bit silly, but have you tried dropping honey behind you as it approaches? Honest question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorium Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I don't get the leeds is to op threads. They are easy to deal with, you don't need tames for that. Just be a little bit more creative than: I have a boat. There are numerous possibilities to deal with leeds. For example a single plant x slows them to a crawl, dropping honey distracts them. And you can actually build a leeds proof boat, don't just put down some metal foundations, put some thought into it, it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForzaProiettile Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I don't get what the issue is with leeds. They are super weak. If it attacks my raft I just hop off give it a few jabs with my pike and its dead. It really isn't hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly a hidden fact that honey can be used to distract creatures. It's actually in the trailer that announced the giant bee. That said, as painful as it sounds, messaging your entire server beats keeping people ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z00jo Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that, I had 7 full metal rafts destroyed in 2 days. Regular leeds I can handle, what for me each time was alpha leeds. All it takes is one hit. Nowadays I just hug the beach and have plant species on raft. Easy to kill leeds but not when you're in the middle of the ocean lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racidon Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 To highlight a few facts here guys, Alpha leeds can 1 shot if not 2 shot a raft, so that point is valid somewhat. However with that said an alpha raptor can 1 shot a noob running around naked on the beach, that doesn't mean they should be removed. Alpha leeds have the EXACT same hp as a regular leeds, so just get in the water and kill it if you know it's there. If you're biggest issue is getting to herb, build a canal out of pillars stopping the leeds from getting to the one save path you can make to herb It's no tame, it's supposed to be harder. Just be glad you have rafts since technically speaking they are tames in the eyes of the coding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I mentioned above; leeds are weak and you can easilly kill them with few arrows. This is quite simple, stop being lazy and scout around before trying to go on the other side. This is a survival game for a reason, leeds are a nice mechanic and are EASILY avoidable if you take the required precautions. So your best tip is to jump off the raft as the Leeds is attacking and shoot the Leeds lmao bet you can't kill it before it kills your raft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crows Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 To be honest, I was wondering what all of the leeds fuss was about for the first few months of their arrival. Ever since I started on the new servers (Ragnarok) and could only manage to get around and get things done with rafts, I've noticed how annoying and stupid the Leeds actually are. We kept having to build a new raft with a whole new set of stone structures covering it because whenever we went to take any short-cuts (south west of Ragnarok) a Leeds would attack, sometimes even 2 together and there came a point where there were 3 Leeds around the same area together, bullying every raft in sight, so of course I always sailed along the coast/shallow waters which took longer but it also left me more exposed (PvP server) and that exposure cost me my raft, items and a Ptera I worked so hard on taming with little to nothing.

Fealthion Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The leeds was created to reduce the platform count on the servers - and its succeded, it isnt the first Dino they have given specific tasks to force players to interact (pego anyone?)

Crows Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Leeds have had a positive impact on servers by cleaning up abandoned rafts, YES - but for them to bully and stalk active rafts all of the time is just so dumb. They follow you all the way to shallow water, and if you're too far out to reach shallow water in time, you're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for some reason you have to go further (like OP going to Herbo Island), then scout around before doing so and kill them. Again, Leeds are a joke to kill. If you can't handle them, you might want to buy a copy of Minecraft instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulpot Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 TBH to reduce raft count it should be just auto decay after 7 days if inactive not a 1 hit giant whale that spoils adventures and raft wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a serious issue for no tame servers yet you have people exaggerating it's not an issue ( and no doubt these are the people that play on tame servers) There is no boat game at al on no tame servers because of Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay89 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Boats are never useful anyway unless you don't have a base I just wish you could fit more on them and make them at least look boaty (bigger boat engram's maybe?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ep1cM0nk3y Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Lots of people use boats on our server.. just gotta be aware, have turrets/xplants/tames to dispatch them, use honey, or have tribemates ready to repair while getting hit.. Lots of counters really.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried this stupid honey method with my tribe , I was sailing and all 7 members had honey ( aswell as raft having x2 plant X ) . Leeds came from under us and one shot us , absolutely zero time to mess around with honey . Id also like to mention that I've played the game from two weeks after beta and played it throughout so I know the game mechanics and had a alpha tribe on server 6 EU . This thread was created ( I presume ) to benefit others and make an issue known . It's a fact the Leeds have killed no tame servers BOATS ARE ONLY METHOD OF TRAVELING ( apart from walking ) , THE ALPHA LEEDS WHICH ARE PLENTIFUL ON NO TAME ONE SHOT ALL BOATS RENDERING THE SERVERS DEAD BECAUSE PEOPLE DONT WANT TO WALK HOURS AROUND THE MAP ! ( excuse caps but half the people commenting in this much needed thread are palming it off as not an issue and no doubt are playing on tame servers ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
