Evidently, you like beating animals. It's all good bro. That's just you I guess. Eh less that people like the mechanic more that people don't think arguing the morality of it is gonna win you a medal, especially adding in PETA to the mix. It's a fantasy game where we kill or be killed by 90% of the animals that we see. If you want to argue the mechanic being poor and needing some changes to make it better I'll agree all day long, but making an attempt to argue morals in a game where anyone on the planet can join and have an opinion is just gonna mean your in for a bad time.

You can't sit here and say you have no problem simulating the murder of humans and THEN turn around and say that simulating the beating of AI controlled penguins is 'distasteful.'

Angrytango 25 Posted January 16, 2019 People like the mechanic, huh? Really. Taming in this game is absurd. Period. Even for puppy kickers like you. Clearly the PETA thing was not to be taken LITERALLY. If there were no line or morals at all because it is a game then will it be okay to kill kids in the game once they are added in with the breeding? Does it mean that since it is a video game and not real that anything goes? It is clear that since you have no morals, arguing with you is definitely a bad time. I am sure you have some kittens to drown or something. So best get to it. Tip: Not everyone HAS a moral compass. To Jean, whatever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vaenix 131 Posted January 16, 2019 Clearly you didn't read, I never said I liked the mechanic at all. I said arguing the morals of the issue is going to be a bad time all around. You did not mention a damn thing about whether or not the mechanic was bad or what you wanted to see improved. But since you want to just sit here and toss insults there is no real point continuing a conversation with you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did not ever state that I liked the system or that I promoted cruelty to animals. I have not commented either way on those subjects. What I am doing is trying to offend YOUR confused sense of morality where beating humans is fine but beating penguins is disturbing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angrytango 25 Posted January 16, 2019 And to be quite honest, I am a martial artist. So yup... I recognize that sometimes people need a beating. And now I am speaking of real life. Not a game. Unfortunately, it is the world we live in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coggage 239 Posted January 16, 2019 Dark and Light had a much more elegant system, with the Tether Arrows. The way the animals drained Stamina pulling against the Tether lines just felt right. It's a pity they didn't go for that or just use nets or something seeing as people seem to not like pretend violence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dorf 73 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I'm not a fan of the Atlas system either. Not because of the abuse part (so you never kill any animals in game for their meat, bones, or skin?? Do you shed a tear then?). But mainly because it's a clunky system I don't connect with. I much prefer arks system of tranqing and keeping sedated while you feed them. My favorite is the mod mentioned earlier where you have to feed them till they are yours. Especially on the KOS tames where you had to shoot a bait arrow from a distance to start winning their trust. It was challenging and fun at the same time. That's the system I wish they had here. Edited January 16, 2019 by Dorf 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
