Welp, somehow my game files got corrupted. Not sure how or why, but I lost a few hours of progress, meaning that the 112 Icthyornis I tamed is gone along with the G3 vulture eggs I had started collecting. I assume it had something to do with the update, since when I came back to the game, the spring event was over and the files were corrupted.
Not gonna lie, I'm pretty pissed. I reverted my save, but this time I went to try to tame the Icthy I wound up killing it somehow, but not before it took my best pike, which I wasn't able to find again. Then on the way back I saw an all white female Dimorphodon I wanted to tame, but when I finally brought it down, my taming effectiveness was ruined by three snakes all dogpiling on me.
Moreover, since I thought the event was ending on the 19th I thought I still had time to collect some dino candy, but apparently I didn't. I'm legit considering wiping again back to just before my files got corrupted. Having the files get corrupted is bad enough, but losing the pike as well as two good animals on top of that has me at the end of my rope. Dealing with problems I didn't have before due to a bug in the game just feels cheap, and I'm not above using my own cheap tactics to circumvent the issue.
Admittedly, one thing made me laugh during this debacle. I saw this DireWolf traipsing about when I was tracking the Dimorphodon:
He's only level 16 unfortunately, or I'd consider trying to tame him just for the memes.
