Daedros Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 So now that the Allosaurus has been introduced with a Pack Bonus, will Direwolves finally be getting this bonus as well? They really need it, especially considering how squishy they are without Armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they'll reduce dmg on them .. imagine meeting 5 pack boosted mate boosted in the wild.. If not, maybe they're going for the "glass cannon" aporoach. I guess the allo is the test dummy for this. They'll adjust the dmg modifier accordingly for wolves I would assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroneer Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Dire Wolves were made to be 'squishy,' as a balance to their damage output once in packs. Now, I'm not referring to a pack buff, but instead the damage output of multiple Dire Wolves attacking simultaneously at a target, as they are quite fast. I have a pack of five 150 perfect-tamed Dire Wolves (Yes, I take pride in them) and they seem to do a great job, killing the target before they can take significant damage. I've leveled them up on health points and mêlée damage. However, an alpha buff would be a nice addition. Perhaps, a similar bleed mechanic?

Avios Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 It was confirmed in the ARK Digest that they will be working on adding the Alpha Bonus for the Wolves very soon, so don't worry ^.^ (P.S. I hate wolves tbh, I play on a no-fly server in the winter biome, they come in swarms ;~;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to have a pack which would require more work/kibble/time and also moving around with pack to attack would require more put into it then a rex or spino so if you look at it Like that then it would still be balanced..

I agree with your point ep1c, but I think there's going to be a rebalanced of their melee once it's implemented. (In a pure tamed wolf vs player/environment standpoint) What I was more referring to was the first quote , where in the wild .. a pack of wild mate boosted pack boosted. I feel your pain @Avios I play a few no fliers and my bred spino on my official one, almost got taken out the other day by a pack of em.. didn't notice two of em lodged themselves in my spinos butt.. and couldn't move because of it haha For the record: I'm all for the change, and I love wolves. I'd hate for a ninja nerf to ruin one of my favorite things to breed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroneer Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 @d1nk I wouldn't say overpowered, but an unhappy crowd is foreseeable. At least on the other end of the line. Maybe the requirements for the pack boost would be at least five Dire Wolves, I just know that I really wouldn't want them weakened. I guess time will tell.

Same with bears? Would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
