Equus/Unicorn Question

[GameFreak]

is taming the equus/unicorn the same as ASE for ASA on xbox series x? i found a unicorn and every time i try to feed it when im riding it it only makes me jump off making it impossible to tame. just wanna know if im doing something wrong maybe or if its just a bug.

allways wondered about that myself on evolved. The same button feeds as it is to jump off? Sounds glitchy

i think with how the servers are running (lagg, latency and rubberbanding) it is very easy to miss the feed window and you get kicked off. It is however possible as i have tamed horses.

I tamed them all the time on ASE and I've tamed a couple of equus, and 1 unicorn on ASA.  the method has not changed as far as I know.  

if you're trying to feed and jumping off, or being thrown off, you are trying to feed too soon.  you need to wait for the notification.  there should be a flashing message in the lower right, and at the same time the equus will start kicking it's hind legs.  sorry if this is info you already knew.

If you're trying on an official server, I can almost guarantee that the problem is lag/server performance. From the many, many (MANY) people complaining about the servers having worse performance than ASE, it should be assumed that anything which requires careful timing will not work well, or at least will not work well consistently.

If you're trying it on local/single-player game, I don't have any ideas.

If you're doing it on an official, try doing it on a local/single-player game and see if you have the same problem.

Sounds like something you want to submit a ticket/bug report for. I haven't seen other thread about this on the forums, but maybe it's a problem specific to XBox.

I have a keyboard attachment I bought that goes on my xbox controller and when it bucks press E on the keyboard. I was able to tame this way but not without keyboard.

i tame lots if Equus in ASE but un ASA there is a bug on Xbox you must press "Y" to feed it but now you get dismont with "Y" the game ignore now that you try tame Equus

i don't think it's related to an issue using a keyboard vs a controller.  i have the game on both the ps5 and PC and i'm able to do it correctly on both.

two issues i've found that will dump me off the Equus/Unicorn:

if i have a dangerous dino nearby like an allo or a rex that is too close, then i go to feed the Equus it will rear up and run away preventing me from mounting.

if i accidently tap the feed key when it doesn't need to be fed it acts as the mount dismount key.  this can happen for a variety of reasons. i'm guessing this is your issue, and I'm guessing it is due to server/pc lag.  timing feeding while you're mounted is sometimes tricky, and if there is any lag it may be throwing off your timing.  

a friend of mine just doesn't even try to tame Equus anymore because he ALWAYS double taps the feed key so he feeds then immediately gets dismounted.

Hello, Xbox user as well and I am also having the issue. It is INCREDIBLY frustrating. I never had this problem on Evolved.

Just to clarify I’m on a PRIVATE server with one other person, not official. It’s basically a brand new server minus a greenhouse and a workshop. I have had zero issues with lag/bungee cording after attaching Ethernet cable instead of WiFi.

I am convinced that this is a bug. Especially after seeing someone else have the same issue. I first thought they changed the feed button when mounted. After MULTIPLE attempts on different Equus and many buttons pressed for testing purposes none worked. So it must still be the same button that is now acting as dismount instead of feed.

This is incredibly frustrating and upsetting. I’ve found several lovely level Equus that I cannot tame.
