wizard03 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I unno......On the one hand it has all the basics. High health, fair damage, veggie cake superiority.... Then again, it doesn't have anything OP such as a bleed effect or pack buff.......With that said, I suddenly want to test their current abilities against boss's Can you even use bronto's in boss fights? Be kinda tricky to get 10 of them into the arena, let alone 20. o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyBear Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 You can't get a bronto in a boss fight, it's carry weight is too high. A paracertherium would be a much better animal to try and fit in, but it also has too high of a carry weight. I'd much rather see the procoptodon have a higher base damage rating. It's pathetic, considering how much damage a real life kangaroo can do with it's hind legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know there was a carry weight limit....odd, would a rex with the wrong stats be banned for going in too? o.o And I might agree with that a bit. However the role of the procoptodon is more for assisting in breeding. Much like a lyst is for offering more XP while doing household chores, an oviraptor for kibble farms, and dung beetles are for veggie farms. I actually like these one off guys. Yeah they are not full blown game changers like an argy or a anky, but they are really nice to have around when you want to get you hands dirty on the grindy bits.

GrumpyBear Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I can fill up a procoptodon w/ 300 stacks of berries in no time. They have more than one use for sure. I have base 1056 weight before imprints on mine. Very handy. Carry weight is built in on each species, it's immutable. It's what determines what animals can get into a boss fight for the most part. A magmasaur is just a hair below the limit and is allow in. Basically any platform animal is off limits just like you can't put a platform animal onto another platform animal or even a raft. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Boss_Arenas has all the info on what can and can't go in a boss arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgirl Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 IDK about a buff but they really need an AOE fix, there is a huge hole in most of the tail that makes it hard to gather berries and I would imagine mucks things up a lot on PVP.

It's the drag weight of the dino not its carry weight that affects whether it can enter the boss arenas https://ark.gamepedia.com/Drag_Weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipRavage Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 All the saddle platform creatures need a buff, the saddle platform structure limit is pathetic on vanilla settings. All you can pull off are some pretty unappealing looking boxes on their back with maybe a work bench and a fridge. These platform creatures should actually be able to be small mobile bases for the time and kibble it takes to tame them, especially since there is no mutton equivalent for herbivores.

Hate to admit it, the fact that there is no wee bit of a shortcut with herbivores is super one sided......Would have thought the veggie cake would have been the alternative to kibble, but instead its just mejo berries. I think there defiantly needs to be a bit of an adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
