Yutyrannusfan14 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Occasionally, when a wild normally aggressive Dino Aggros me, instead of attacking it will just run off in the opposite direction?? Is anyone else experiencing this? It happens rarely but I’ve seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkfields Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 What are the levels of the dinos that run away from you? Are they low levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mai Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Run mechanic since awhile back when wild creatures get stuck on something not being able to move they will flee when they aggro something after. Was so much easier to tame in the past as you just go above a cliff to tame big creatures and they will stay aggro to the player, but now after awhile of being stuck they'll run away also happens when low hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgirl Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Yea they do it if its low enough HP, high torp, or trying to attack but havent hit you, for instance if you are trying to kite and you dont get hit at all they will eventually turn around, or if they cant reach you for one reason or another.

GrumpyBear Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I see dilo, carno, and raptors do this alot. They run away then come right back at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But typically its the alphas that are most problematic as they are designed to "run away" if they can't get to you. Say your on a cliff shooting down, or useing a trap. Kinda a smart code to prevent farming with just a simple pillar and ceiling tile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea actually, it happened a while ago and I wasn’t paying attention. But I believe I mostly saw it happening with Dilos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them running away every time increases the chances they trigger others to go after you with them. Packs are more deadly than singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjskdjkfa Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I think it depends on level. Low level dinos are more likely to run. It's been mentioned they may decide something like "frack rocks and cliffs are preventing me from getting to this guy", or "hp low, retreeeeeeeat?!?", but I have wondered if they are also doing a calculation based on their damage output, your health your melee, etc, basically they are like can I even kill this guy?

I mean once the alpha is in a cage you can farm it a number of ways and it's not really relevant that this mechanic kicks in, but when I realized that it did kick in I was able to save about a thousand cross bow bolts that one day.

High melee and a good chunk of health, and Ill let the alpha "nip" me from time to time, just to keep em from running off. Otherwise I can kill raptors and carno's with the knock back and being up a hill to further enhance the knock back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the best technique to use against the enemy is their own. Now if only that worked on gigas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only tested this with my rex so far and it seems pretty random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
