our taming pen is amazing. If you're building it completely enclosed i recommend making the outside of pen part 3 wide as it can be harder to maneuver without getting hit sometimes. We have a top floor and bottom around the edges so we can a high ground person on damage and a low on bolas. There's a bed and extra things in a chest just in case... CloWandering designed it and i love taming in it!!

We took a trip to the polar region to tame some adorable penguins. OMG THEY ARE SO CUTE!!! However Yetis. Wow.... They are aggressive and my level 50 bear had trouble taking one down that was level 7 and already at half health from killing a pack of wolves. Also the wolves are SO BAD there too. They eat all the penguins!! We ended up losing our bear, our wolf and multiple penguins to wolves. But we managed to get 1 penguin tamed after spending 4 hours. He's super cute. But was he worth 4 hours and 2 tames? Not sure.

i can pick up and move up to 1100kg before it stops allowing me to pick up more things. I think it's a BS way of doing it that is not the same as every other Icon provided. I don't play Ark so nothing is relatable to me from that game. And if they really want us to use tames for this, which is fine with me, i love my tames. We need less wolves and alphas roaming around otherwise it's just another waste of time and resources. Which is why i've been stating in weight so I can be the mule back to base as others craft things.

i have an issue with how weight works in this game as well. If it says my carry weight is 550 (which it is since i've also put a ton of points into it) It should BE 550. but it is NOT. I should not be over-encumbered before i reach this max weight listed. Sure, once it's over, but the icon is pretty useless IMO. it doesn't have a marker on it when i hit encumbered. There's no indication except when the weight icon shows up. If you have an icon that fills up you should not be filled up until it reaches the top. Just like all the other icons. I'm not at full health when the heart is close to the top. I am not full of food/water when the icon is mostly filled up. This should be the same for carry weight. I can still move with 1100 weight on me so it's not like making it able to move freely at my full carry weight should be an issue. It's a deceptive stat.

wolves have spawned inside our stone house before. I've not noticed less wolves in our area and we are active and play most days together. It takes time when we sign on every time to lure the wolves into the slaughter pen so we can kill them without dying. Last night when we were getting our ship ready on the shore was an Alpha Bear, Alpha cow, alpha wolf and an alpha vulture. So don't go out. or kill anything, or do anything because you're dead. Alphas are pointless and they are ruining this game.

The S method is very slow. So it might be working just super slow. We got our first schooner stuck like that. It ended up just busting apart when we tried to work it out. now we are super paranoid.

Getting on and off sheep is also super buggy

bugged or working as intended? Did this at least count for shoveling the beach?

I try to be minimally dressed/holding things when up there just in case death becomes. I'm glad it's not just me! We had a great parking spot with the brig backed up to the island the other day and i could not climb the ladder. it would just put me back on the ground next to the ladder. It was a pretty impressive parking job though.

I want to know the thoughts behind making horses aggressive tames. I own 3 horses and i can tell you if i beat them, tied them up and force fed them they wouldn't want to be a good horse for me. The beating an animal into low health tying it up and force feeding it is not fun. I get that you didn't want to be Ark again. But maybe non aggressive animals like - horses, elephants, birds, bulls and bears could be moved to passive tames? You still need to put in the time and follow them around and protect them from creatures. It's still can take time. It just makes me feel icky taming things this way. As a lover of creatures.

Vultures are terrible. We had to make a completely enclosed taming pen because vultures just killed our tames in process.

I have a terrible time climbing them if the water is moving at all or if they are touching the ground. It glitches me under the boat and sometimes i teleport to the top and sometimes there's a shark eating my face. When it's on land i glitch to the right of the ladder. This is frustrating when i accidentally miss the climb down and fall into the ocean from the crows nest. My friend just likes to laugh at me cause i can't use ladders. But i am hoping it's not just me. Also swimming up to them i just shoot right by half the time and if we make them shorter so the water motions don't cut them off I can't stop under it and reach up.

we have an alpha bull in our slaughter pen. It's great to run wolves in with him. hahahaha

this is a great post. Just one thing to add. It's negative temps in the tundra. Why is it raining at all? it should be snowing.

please just remove or explain WHY they are even here. They don't even give great experience now. We sacrificed yet another bear to an alpha wolf. I finished taming it 2 minutes before that. But at least our elephant was safe. Wolves and alphas are out of control and it's not fun.

we get them in the tundra on K3. we have some to trade on NA PVE.

just remove. There's no point to them right now.

We live in the tundra. you're lucky the vultures didn't join in. It's awful up here for spawns. Leaving base is a group activity and we never bring out the elephant alone just in case there's an alpha. we will sacrifice a bear or wolf to save the elephant.

At least rats aren't an issue yet?

Alphas are pointless. We have no tools to deal with them and they one shot players and tames. Just get rid of them or make an island where people can go Alpha hunting. Although it seems like the XP was nerfed on them so I'm not sure if that's even needed now.

The wolves are ridiculous.

^^^^not anymore. ANd only if you can trap them in a pen or get on high ground because you can't kill them before they kill you. Alphas are pointless. We've lost 4 wolves, 4 bears and 1 monkey to Alphas (wolves, horses, vultures and lion). Almost a 5th bear but we were able to get the alpha lion to de-aggro by swimming out. The alphas are terrible. They aren't fun, they one shot everything. It's great that my 2 hours of time taming a bear and a monkey was ended in 2 seconds when we were pounced by an alpha lion. SUPER FUN TIMES. I get losing tames sometimes. But it takes a lot of skill points, resources and time to get them so it's extremely frustrating to have them one shot constantly by alphas. They don't even drop anything exciting. You don't get special Alpha Meat or hide or SOMETHING. The game would be far better without them.

We're on PvE K3 and the wolves and vultures are awful. I had 7 wolves and multiple vultures kill my bear on the beach. He managed to kill 4 of the wolves and most of the vultures before he went down. RIP Cuddles. I managed to swim far enough into the ocean that the last 3 de-aggro'd on me. I was lucky to make it home on my broken bones. The cold man and the damage made it super fun. I've got about 60 hours in the game in the Tundra. My fur armor doesn't help much to protect and the toss back from the attack is ridiculous. I just spam jump (if i'm not encumbered from gathering, which is another thing that is not cool in this game - encumbering me before I'm at the max carry.) and hope it bounces me so far i get back home and behind stone walls before they kill me. We had to full enclose our taming pen because the vultures swarm and murder the animals when we are taming them. We had 2 alpha vultures circling our base all night last night. We have 4 people playing and when all of us are there it's easier but we spend a lot of time dealing with over-spawning of wolves/vultures than playing a fun game together. It's one thing to have to deal with wild animals when adventuring around, but we had about 20 wolves in the slaughter pen (old taming pen) the other night because that's how many that chased us and we ran through there to escape. i've added a pic of our slaughter pen sometime in the midst of our night.

yeah i was disappointed in this cargo harness too, since you can't carry any cargo on it. I hope it's a bug and it will be updated eventually. Unless canons are super effective on hoards of wolves then maybe a portable canon would help!

then i got nothing.
