Wolf breeding is not ingame yet, you will see when it Shows "enable wander to ate" in tooltip

It's not unique to the desert, having traveled all the biomes I think Tundra has it worst, their wolf spawns are insane; like big groups of 7-9 wolves rushing about as a pack. Indeed, our island in H10 desert is almost paradise-like, having only vulture, crocs, snakes and insects; none of which are a significant danger on land (In water, more of a nuisance) Predatory creature spawning is just bonkers.

i tamed a wolf in the zone im trying to breed them in and they wont breed

maybe twop if your very lucky. add a rattler into the fray a lvl three and lvl 16 wolf in a small space atop the mountain in bresport just to get some crystal and id like to see that. I died fast, had to go back up to get my loot which is what was worrying me more than trying to kill them, so died where it would be accessible.

Hah! I wish it was like jousting. At the moment it's just me standing still and flailing wildly while the animal teleports all around me. If one of us hits the other, it's sheer dumb luck rather than "advanced tactical combat". Something funnysad is watching my wolf trying to eat a carcass. He just keeps warping towards it, only to have momentum make him overshoot then he warps back the other way. If the idiot mongrel learned to walk to his dinner, he'd go hungry less often! I like your points, Gunny. All of them.

I agree. Maybe work on how you word it, but you're right. And I understand the rage, been there. Believe the word "retarded" has been used more times than I'm proud of. I have 5,100+ hours in Ark, so I'm used to fighting tough creatures. But the inability to level movement speed makes a wolf fight a straight up facetanking. Sure, you can kill a few. But they respawn entirely too fast, entirely too often. And a pack will always mean certain death if you don't grapple to a ledge or otherwise have a very immediate solution to escape instant death. Scouting new islands for resources, it's mandatory to bring multiple sets of gear. The "Sneak" skill is mostly ineffective at deterring wolf spam. And outrunning them is limited to being close to water and jumping so that their attacks knock you a bit more out of range to buy you a second. In reality, just making it so that after you've finally killed the 47 wolves around you, they don't respawn 30 seconds later, and the fight doens't become an eternal struggle between player and fuzzy gods, would solve the problem while still making wolves the alpha predator they were meant to be.

We found that there are more animals in some islands than the number of trees per square meter. Here we have 35 horses on the beach, including 3-4 alpha horses for 100 meters. Against this side there is nothing but bears. And in the center of the island there are 2 alpha lions who work with an alpha wolf pack. But what's worse is the horses. just stand in the place and get rid of it and they will come alpha for you ...... which you just will not get rid of ... We also found out that some arrows do not give in the running of the animals damaged ..... etc .... ... and nothing is happening ... and today we had an island right on the beach 2 whales.... and near the ship damned, ...... and skeleton by the beach def. area ...... we think we have at island +- 25 alpha animals at same time ....... //tundra map H2 sector

I just tamed a Male and Female wolf and have them together in my animal pen. I've never played Ark but someone who has suggested that I set them both to Wander to begin the breeding process. Has anyone successfully bred in Atlas? Is this all I need to do? How long does it take? Any suggestions/feedback/help would be appreciated!

For the love of god.... Ssort the fucking wolves out, I'm fucking rraging right now, ALL DAY, ALL FUCKING DAY EVERY 5 FUCKING MINUTES - the FUUCKING wolves are SPAWNING ON ME and fucking killing me, Even with a spear, or a bow they regen health while attacking you, Solo or packs, cant outrun, cant outplay, cant even sneak past them - SORT THE FUCKING WOLVES, I can understand a Lion being OP, but a wolf? - C'mon sort it, Its not fun anymore - EVERY 5 FUCKING MINUTES I DIE TO A WOLVE......... I cant even build to PvP on the PvP server, cus the fucking PvE is fucking stupid and not even realistic, in real life a wolf wouldn't even go near a fire pit... SORRT IT OUT, IT's not fun, I know its alpha, I enjoy the game, The game is fun even with all the bugs, But these FUCKINGG WOLVES ARE UNREALISTIC and OP, all you devs are doing at the moment is makingg it impossible for small groups/solo players, What are you guys actually doing to penalise those who have took every singgle piece of land within the first 2 days when 90% of people couldn't even connect? The games good, but at least sort these fundamental bollox out first please for the love of god........

Here is a video of them wolf packing me: I can see there being packs of them for group encounters, but for a single schooner this was a bit much. We may have been able to escape two of them, not six.

Considering that it is not possible to outrun an alpha wolf or alpha lion and that they onehit everbody.... devs i have an idea to spoil your customers gaming experience even more ! Spawn more of these ! Today we had only 13 alpha predator spawns in 4 hours. Come on, you certainly can do better ! Give them stone eating capability, this brings fun. You could also add a chinese version of the undead sharpshooter who guard the treasures : Give them aimbot and teleport !

Best the game had to offer is the bottles. Which is essentially no reward for the huge time sink and risk of sailing to hunt them. Cross three zones - hope to not catch a SotD on border cross. Find the right island - Find the right spot on the island. Dig for 45 minutes - be sure to bring about 15 shovels youll likely need them. Collect a meager 100-200 gold that can be used to purchase crew members who can die with you as you sink to the bottom of the ocean or get torn to shreds by a lv154 alpha wolf/tiger/lion/croc/snake.5

And on this note. After I posted this discussion topic I log back in to an alpha wolf literally destroying my whole base. This happened due to me stepping outside to farm..a wild horse was being chased and they aggro on to me and good bye base. please please please fix. All my work literally gone in 2 seconds. Unplayable.

Lol. well i just hope the dev's start focusing their attention to the game mechanics that are causing their player base to dwindle... the ship decay and skill tree's as well as land claiming are the 3 biggest issues. But yet they haven't seem to do anything regarding it other than make the skill tree even more fucked. It's cool. I started out playing a lot, now i play less and less every day. Head of my company... great group of people. Game's pretty broken still and very frustrating. We've claimed land, built our harbor up, built our base up, gated it off and we still have predators spawning inside of our base area, which mind you is fairly big, but we have a decent sized building and other stuff going on. The "awesome" predator spawns keeps killing our wolf tames and we keep going back to square 1 with that. Then doing much outside of the island has been non existent with the whole SotD issue.

Hey all, I am having a really hard time trying to farm and get stuff done around my claim because the island I am on seems to have 20+ wolves in one area. They are right on my beach, through my forest and all through out the back end of my claim. The wild life populations are severely out of control and I am finding myself sitting out multiple day cycles and night cycles because the wolves just won't go away. I cannot fight 3 - 4 wolves at once with one being an alpha wolf lvl 214 when I am only 18..when I can hardly put down one. They hit way to hard, the dps out put is way to high, the aggro range needs to be reduced even so with the beast tame traits that give you less visibility to them. I feel like they still aggro from a mile away. I also have tried other islands and it is the same story with the gators and snakes. I understand the concept of having an elite patrol pack of something because that makes the land feel dangerous but when the lands are just flooded with these types of alphas and predators it makes it hard to do anything at lower levels. Now with all this being said here is what I would look at to change from my opinion. 1. Reduce population greatly 2. Look at how and where they are spawning.( I have literally had wolves attack me and spawn in water) 3. 1 alpha shows in area between the stages of 2-3 day cycles 1- 2 night cycles. ( not predictable though) 4. Reduce Damage output and DPS output. This is way to high because I have tested specing into health and I still get put down faster then I can draw a weapon. 5. How they patrol around the land. I understand of having a pack of a dangerous something roaming around to make the land feel more dangerous but they seem to only patrol and flood beaches. Then the interactions with other animals cause them to run inland and flood inland. There may be bottle necks that need to be looked at I honestly don't know. 6. Reduced Aggro range. I think this would benefit players not specing into Beast Mastery and the players that are spec'd into it would benefit more with the reduced visibility. Right now both feel broken. 7. General Wild Life can sometimes halfway walk through and poke there heads through base walls. I have aggro'd wolves while being inside my base from this. Obviously they aren't supposed to do that and being inside is supposed to feel safe and it doesn't at some times. I have almost 100 hours played and I am really loving this game and the quick fixes that you guys are putting out. I am sure there have been many posts about this already. I am not a game designer or creator at any level and this is just my opinion. Keep it up dev team you guys are doing an awesome job and I am greatly appreciated to be a part of an amazing game that is still yet to be developed. I am sure that you guys are very much aware of this and it will be worked on at some point. Thank you!

Greatest fun for the devs was always single players/small groups to be steamrolled/LOLstomped by big tribes. This concept did not change, they like magic armor dragon riders sniping naked spearmen while mounted on dragons. When this stopped on ARK primitive servers they brought the unstoppable stone eating Giganotosaurus. When the chinese megatribes complained, that it takes to long bombing new players stone bases they trippled the grenade damage. When they noticed that players survived after learning they doubled the mobs damage and trippled the level 250 alpha wolf spawns. This game is toxic, too toxic.

Exact same problem.. my wolf is stuck with max xp on lvl 4.... ive done everything to make it lvl-.

Tamed wolf reached level 4 and we can no longer level up it's stuck at level 4

Today i was killed several times by a lvl5 wolf although my lvl25 character was wearing leather armor and an iron pike. This is just ridiculous. Not to mention the alpha creatures... why do lvl200+ alphas spawn all the time? There´s nothing you can do about them, just kite them over an over again to another part of the island and dying a lot in the progress, hoping that no other players take your stuff from your body in the meantime.

Crocodiles are gamebreaking, they are faster than a ship in water amd they keep attacking it no matter what..wolves and lions are also a pain, they just jump to the ocean trying to sink your ship, total nonsense, they can hit you from under your ship and make you fall to the water...not to mention that a single wolf is more dangerous than a party of damned soldiers, ridiculous. To allow an enjoyable experience i think spawns, aggro and damage should be lowered, with that amount of killing machines player interaction won't happen often, you would be more concerned aboug not being killed by a wild animal than by an hostile player in PVP, also in PVE people can use them to destroy your base or ship aggroing them and making them to get stuck in your things. I understand this is also a survival game but if the intention is to make also an MMO having tons of ai harassing you is not good to make people more prone to play the game as it was advertised.

So im on a small island with other players. Its not going too bad other than scared to sail ships. Animal spawn rates on initial login are fairly high but were livable. NOT anymore!!!! Since the latest update a level 5 wolf can kill you in 3-4 hits on a level 30 char!! my good if you get more than you its insta death...why???? Why did you mess with Animal damage!! It was close to perfect and livable. Add this to ghost tships and you may as well just sit on your raft just off the coast and pray for something to save you. Add this to the fact im having to make a base on lawless land and make sure i log in regularly as most of the land is gone and i cant fucking sail anywhere as the stupid ass ghost ships get you every time. Please listen to the community 1)GHOST SHIP SPAWN LEVELS DONT COUNT WHEN THE SPAWN NEXT TO YOU WHEN TRANSITIONING TO A NEW SECTOR. 2)STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT Unlivable!!! 3)DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SPAM LAND CLAIMS!!!!!!!!!

I'm level 40, as are my shipmates - we're lucky to kill a wolf while carrying pistols. They are insane.

I'm one of the player who bring the wolf next to his house, not to destroy this house just him. He bring 3 wolfs when we farm to kill us and steal our stuf, it's just in return of is behavior. And we did'nt hack just use glider to be safe on his roof. Don't presume if you don't know.

Well with wolves i say that they are pain in the A for me. Yesterday i took out lvl 10 wolf, while being equipped with a pistol and bow with firearrows. While i was out hunting Alphas i was being surrounded by 5 wolves, literally couldnt jump over or move while being surrounded by them. They killed the tiger in 30 seconds and i went soon after that. Also they keep on swarming my little house But if you are equipped with right weapons and if you take wolves 1 on 1 then they are easy to kill.

Had that happen last night when my tribe logged for the night. Someone bugged a wolf into our house destroyed all boxes then somehow got out after looting of all.
