I also hope they keep the pets to a sensible level. Whilst it will be very nice to have a furry chum to keep me company whilst mining, having a procession of big-■■■ spiders or dragons or whatnot would be a bit ridiculous.
As for feeding, personally I’d like to see a feeding mechanic, but nothing too demanding. The ability to create a feeding trough at base and put some meat in perhaps. It would also be great if we can instruct our furry friends to feast on the corpses of our fallen foes as well. That seems quite fitting in a brutal setting such as CE.
Fair comment, yes. It would actually be quite fun to have the ability to have animal pens at the base, and it would be a good way to get certain resources like feathers and gossamer etc.
If it 1 pet per player and dragon on the table. People will get the strongest pet. Let me ask you this bear or hyena. If it 1 per player would you choose bear or hyena. You pick the bear. Stronger pet. Now if you could have 4 hyenas or 1 bear the choice becomes harder.
It would be cool to see pets like thralls, you capture them, put’em in some den with food, see they grow, and when they’re ready you can set it to follow, or leave them in the base for defense wandering around.
Feeding should be an option, with benefits, if you feed them they get buffs for hp and dmg.
Elephants are real life mounts so that is just fine by me. I hope there will be no dragon or bear mounts tho. Only natural mounts and pets like horses,camels,elephants,dogs,cats etc. If i want ARK crazyness i’ll play that instead.
