FlyinJapman4 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Audio cue for detecting threats, okay. Loud roar for scaring smaller creatures, okay. Increased carry weight, okay. The roar scares packs of Raptors, uuuuhhhhh.......Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted some questions about the parasaur abilities in the TLC thread. I'll copy them here as well in the event anyone on PC can answer some/all the questions before @Jen and/or @Jatheish are able to. As I am on PS4 I'll have to wait until April. Quote @Jen @Jatheish Few questions about the Parasaur: Is the Parasaur ability only utilized by tamed Parasaur? The clip would lead one to believe that is a wild parasaur and it is causing a wild raptor to flee. Will wild parasaur 'vocalizations' effect tames the same as a tamed parasaur 'vocalizations' effects wild? I may have missed it but is there a cool down with this 'vocalization'? Does the 'vocalization' have a limit to how many can be influenced by it? Do the fleeing dinos travel x distance before returning or is the fleeing status time based? Does it cause a loss of aggro or will it still be focused on coming back after the effect wears off? What is the range of the 'vocalization'? What is the range of the 'echolocation'? Is there a cooldown on the 'echolocation'? While in turret mode is 'echolocation' able to be set to a passive ability acting like a radar and thus signalling the 'vocalization' to be triggered alerting one's owner/tribe? Lastly, will there be any counter to the parasaur where one will know another is using a parasaur to 'echolocate' and thus isn't hidden? Perhaps a shoulder pet able to pick up such frequencies. If I am about to walk into a trap I would like some type of balance to this new ability. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted it as soon as Jen uploaded parasaur screenshot to gallery ( a perk you can gain if you follow all the WC staff on these forums). As for: 23 minutes ago, SirPeter said: I posted some questions about the parasaur abilities in the TLC thread. Its kinda stupidrange to ask those questions when you'll see everything yourself once they release updated dinos. Effects, ranges, cooldowns, counters - all those things are for players to discover.

If I am not mistaken you post seems a little agitated. If so I don't know how I offended you and had no intention of it. Was just pointing out what they called it to you if you hadn't noticed. Clearly I was wrong and am sorry for the silly banter. Maybe it is stupid to you, maybe strange or perhaps both. Fact remains as someone who plays on PS4 I won't have access to it until much later. I thought of said questions and asked them so if anyone is kind enough to answer before I am able to do it myself, see a video/post/etc I could see the answers to said questions. My apologies for being curious about said abilities. If I am incorrect about your response point it out but in this instance your response doesn't seem to warrant such disrespect. God forbid someone be curious about something. I average playing 2-6 hours a week on a good week. Many weeks are 0 hours. So forgive me if I rely on others to learn something or see something some times. No hard feelings on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriquendi32 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I personally like the change. Makes an early tame more useful to new players/ people starting over, and gives it a purpose beyond the early game. Parasaur is always one of my early tames primarily as a transport/pack mule. Nice to know I can potentially leave it while I gather and no have to worry about smaller threats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havokpaintedwolf Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 a bit disappointed the parasaur didnt get a new model or some sort of aquatic ability like better swim speed or something akin to the bary tail attack but just knockback. but still thats a useful set of abilities it shouldn't be able to scare raptors though but dilos i could see backing down from a ticked parasaur. but that early warning system and extra carry weight has me crazy excited! maybe now i won't be the only one taming paras for a use that isnt kibble farming. wonder if it will scare ravagers i live in ravager central in aberration.

Migol Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Honestly...meh? I mean I get that the Parasaur is used very infrequently, but that's for a reason, and this won't change it: It's outclassed by nearly anything. Not at endgame, but as soon as you have berries to tame one. The moment you're capable of taming a parasaur, you're also capable of taming a trike (both are easy to knock down+tame). Moreover, with just a bit of effort (cliffs or a hastily built pillar and ceiling or whatever), you are also capable of taming a raptor. And a raptor with saddle armor is more than capable of taking down wild raptors, as opposed to a "temporary scare" scream on a cooldown. Not only that, but it can be used to farm meat and prime meat fairly well early; a parasaur is hugely outclassed in this department by the aforementioned trike, not to mention that stegos and low level brontos are also pretty easy tames.

FlyinJapman4 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The Quetz has to be TLC'd. It has to be updated to make it better. It's slow as raptor. From a single player/private match viewpoint, the Quetz is a cargo bird but when you are trying to live near water so your sea tames can be within reach, and it take years to get from your coastal base to the metal mountains, it become tedious.

Cano, sabre needs more than it has, even if just basic update in mechanics, stego gets no love, bronto has nothing additional, none of the smaller creatures like the dilo are getting anything, NONE of the water dinos are being touched and at this point only 2 are worth taming, and no other ones are good at what they do really.

You can’t win with these people. I said the same thing in the actual crunch comments and was called out by someone because apparently it wasn’t obvious they aren’t abandoning the rest of the TLC. Reading comprehension seems to be lacking nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to quote you again because I'm curious to understand how you reconcile your cognitive dissonance in regards to these TLC passes and how they affect development on other aspects of Ark. You seem frustrated that further TLC has been put on hold...almost as frustrated as you seemed during conversations about bugfixes being more important that artwork and TLC. Do you really want more TLC treatment before the focus is shifted to bugfixes? Or are you happy to see the focus shifted back to bugfixes like you've previously demanded? If you're curious, I'm glad to see them going back to fix bugs, and I think it's vastly more important than TLC. I imagined most people would be stoked...not bummed. You seem bummed, and that's just a bit confusing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people think that the devs are completely abandoning something just because their focus has changed to something else, that something else being bug and QoL fixes that the community have been crying out for since the dawn of early access. The TLC pass will return in the future but at a later date and likely after the Extinction DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChargingParacerParacer Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Because they have a track record of halfassing things and not doing everything they say they are going to do. Some of us of the forum have actually paid attention to their actions and learned when they arelikely just doing PR-Speak/Damage Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
