Prim744 3 Posted January 14, 2019 With the extremely limited metal spawns on some island and no metal rocks on alot of islands - wouldnt it be benefical to add Rhinos gettting small amounts of metal from normal Rocks ? Like Ark and the Anky. Only getting metal from dedicated metal rocks seems extremely silly - due to their limited numbers Thanks for your consideration 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellentro 107 Posted January 14, 2019 Im more concerned about how the rhino can encumber itself in like 5 seconds of gathering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tezcatlipoca 76 Posted January 14, 2019 rhino is sadly useless, like many other tames. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uli 59 Posted January 14, 2019 have any of the tames got weight reduction for their specialist materia gathering like ark ? or is it just rhino that is bugged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arts 0 Posted January 14, 2019 Elephants get weight reduction on wood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kampfer91 58 Posted January 14, 2019 And yet rhino don't have weight reduction for stone and metals , but they are the primary gatherer of those stuffs . Whacky decision... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archaegeo 192 Posted January 14, 2019 Give em time, im sure all pets will get a balancing and ability pass Just like fishing is nowhere ready for primetime (being completely pointless right now) And of course medic tree worthless Melee trees needing love, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomervoncannon 1,541 Posted January 14, 2019 This just seems like one more indicator the game was rushed out, even for EA. A rhino with no weight reduction and design limitations that make its intended role pointless out of the box isn’t design that needs further refining, it’s forgetting your wallet when you rush out of the house to get to the movie theater on time.

Realist 504 Posted January 14, 2019 4 hours ago, uli said: have any of the tames got weight reduction for their specialist materia gathering like ark ? or is it just rhino that is bugged Well that didn’t happen with ark until like 2 years later. I am thinking they don’t want it to be completely the same as ark even though it basically is ark already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uli 59 Posted January 15, 2019 Damn makes the different tames pretty useless , 2 hits rhino full i haven't tested other yet giraffes etc but will try later this evening and see if results differ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaverickG 2 Posted January 15, 2019 Rhino certainly needs to be able to de-select berries for harvest and a weight buff for stone. Extracting metal from rock would be a welcomed "feature". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tenebrion 11 Posted February 10, 2019 Necro thread? I will say though, it would be great if Rhinos could gather a little metal from stones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryan 16 Posted February 10, 2019 You guys must have super bad rolls on rhinos. I can take out like 5 or 6 metal nodes, versus 3/4 for just myself. I would die without my rhino. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arzosah 84 Posted February 11, 2019 Rhinos aren't meant for harvesting metal. Thy're only good for harvesting stone and some flint. You're better off using a pick on metal nodes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're better off using a pick on metal nodes. JM pick with T3 harvesting maybe gets 5 more metal per swing than rhino with 130ish melee. It is better to use a rhino. Unless you have a super awesome pick, but the time saved turning around and walking in slow motion back to the rhino to unload and then turning back around to get to another node.... well, that just is not worth it. You can fill a decent rhino up after maybe 5-8 nodes and that is less than a few minutes time. I do not claim to be a math genius, but riding a rhino is a lot quicker. I simply cannot fathom how anyone who has used a rhino for any extended period of time is not aware of how much of a time saver they are. Sure I wish they could hold more, but it sure beats doing it by hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullet Force 151 Posted February 11, 2019 The way the islands are setup in most zones is that some will have large amounts one one resource but be lacking in others and so forth. The idea is to encourage players to travel and explore. If every island had everything on it then there would be no point to wars and conquering other lands. People need something to fight and slaughter each other over, thankfully the devs recognize this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're better off using a pick on metal nodes. Maybe if your island has virtually no pure metal. Mine doesn't but I still sail a Rhino north a grid for pure nodes because it's faster. Time is a resource too. Edited February 11, 2019 by Nari 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you saying human beings need something to slaughter each other over other than the same competition for resources seen in nature? Why that’s just about the most absur...*remembers religion* Yup, you’re right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
