Suggestion: Make takes cosmetic / slighlty helpful only

[MajorAvatar 28]

Tames are overpower, as simple as that. The fact that you can level to level 50 in mere hours by using a Bear or Lion is ridiculous, using Lion, Tiger or Bear means also nearly free gold. See also.

Basically, the guide to get tons of gold and levels.

My suggestion:

Make only Horses, elephants and camels rideable (like in real life) make Elephants very heavy (like in real  life) and tames like Bears, Lions, Tigers but also Giraffe and others, they cannot farm for you (1) they are mostly cosmetic (2) if they fight, they may also start hit you (3) and must be kept in cages most of the time (4).

Would be good to focus on Ships, Pirates, Exploration and make the tames mostly cosmetic and for the ones loving PVE, breeding and such.... but they should have a significantly reduced impact  ( or best: no impact at all) on PvP, farming and challenging NPCs

In short

Tames break immersion, it breaks the game, as it makes it way to simple to do things. Quick fix: make them basically cosmetic only, with little or no practical usefulness.

They need to nerf the animals into the ground. Make the weight reduce by maybe 90%. Use NPC’s to harvest materials for salary. That’s what this game needs. When you remove the damn OP animals (This is more unbalanced than the damn huge robot that destroyed all the alpha tribes in ark) you’ll see the game that a lot of people including the devs wanted to see.

 

This is the best sign that the devs don’t play their own game or don’t have the spine to stand up to all the nerds wanting the OP animals in the first place. It’s the most unbalanced most stupidest game breaking thing I have ever seen. It affects any sort of gameplay on any level, whether it’s ship battles, ship building, quests, base building, treasure hunting and raids.. it’s all made pointless because of 1 damn OP part of the game.
