Leinadarcher Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Looking forward to the upcoming Quality of life changes! Any chance we could have a method to speed up neutering/spaying someday? Perhaps by holding scissors in your hand or something. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmberStar Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hopefully "Quality of Life" includes singleplayer. There's two longstanding issues I can think of, not even sure if one is considered a bug at this point. First: On The Island, the Artifact in one of the ice caves doesn't spawn properly. Or possibly ever. I believe it's the Artifact of the Skylord, in the cave on the ice cliffs on the northern coast. Second: In singleplayer, Extinction Titans slowly starve to death. This was changed after launch, apparently (as always) because of changes to PVP. I could swear that at one point, a dev actually made a post saying that in singleplayer games we'd have the option of keeping them permanently, which is nice for sending them to another map as a mobile base. Bonus item: Almost none of the Extinction creatures react properly with deep water. Unless "sinking like a stone and being unable to even climb back onto the land again" is how they're supposed to work, then they're all set. There's other stuff, like how shoulder pets unequip from the player (and gigantopithicus) every time you load a saved game, but that's probably an engine limitation and not something that could be fixed easily. Or fixed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattj Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I’ve given up hope. But others are curious if there will be any new information on dlc for the Switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishstorm Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) What is being done about those effected by cryofridge glitch? Tek boss teleporter, with the way the obilisks are nowadays it's so hard to get dinos on to the ring. Make it cost a lot and have a 24hr cool down or something like that. Maybe underwater tek powered domes, kinda like city protection shields on ext Edited August 27, 2019 by irishstorm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the game settings there is an option to allow feeding of raid dino's. That should let you keep the Titans. If that doesn't work, you can adjust how much your tames eat as well.

brownievec Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 well if its that time for QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS . I would assume fixes would come under this . tek bridges broken still for 2nd time on officials at least . the centre map redwood biome is still metallic and looks poo since extinction lol . cryo fridges bug which few know about but as a game changer is defo a game breaker . we lost 250 dino to this but still play . geez , how loyal we are lol. now is the time to just fix your damn game . allas were just too used to it being broken and just getting on with it . totally understand why you don't invest in time which is money to fix what you believe isn't worthy but for god sakes if something worked fine once and looked good once but a simple non qc tested update or patch broke something and you got told about it . then why havnt you just at least fixed that yet lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuedeKartoffel Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Rework the Quetz - Give it improved abilities, maybe a second attack like the wyvern wing attack and reskin it Fix landing lag - whenever I try to land my flying tames mainly wyverns and they commonly fly around even when there's a clear and ready space to do so Reskin Wyverns - they look great now but increase the diversity of wyverns Update recipe system - give it a better interface and make it easier to understand Update all dinosaur that haven't been TLCd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlt79 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Been focusing on Aberration map lately. Notice anky isn't able to harvest some metal nodes and trees. Not just anky either tried using mana to knock down trees and they wouldn't fall. Can harvest with pick and axe though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatchawhee Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 QOL update suggestions the blasted reload glitch... The 50% chance of fat fingers upon Ascension ... The derpiness of lightning wyvern babies... The amount of engram points on single player Most importantly not a quality of life, but a meaning of life for the vast majority of dinos. Unfortunately most of the dinos have no purpose for taming. In fact a large portion of the creatures is only a source of food for the more useful ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they had that at one point and removed it. I would also like this kind of change to be re-added. People park dinos all over the obelisk and devs do nothing. I could copy paste a response I got the other day. I reported a guy for parking flyers all over the obi and the devs response legit was, "looks fine to me". Why have these rules if you don't enforce them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The devs really should be making more of the rules into gameplay mechanics. Rules require enforcement, which is barely done. For the obelisks, imagine if there was a timer on each creature parked there and after a certain time increment the creatures are pushed out of the obelisks area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
