Why can’t Ark train pterosaurs?
Recently, with the continued popularity of the game "Ark: Survival Evolved", players' discussion of taming pterosaurs in the game has once again become a hot topic. Many players find that pterosaurs seem to be more difficult to tame than other creatures in the game, and some even think this is a "bug" in the game design. This article will combine the hot discussions and game data on the Internet in the past 10 days to analyze the reasons why pterosaurs are difficult to tame, and sort out relevant hot topics.
1. Hot topic data on the entire network in the past 10 days
| Topic keywords | Number of discussions (times) | Main platform |
|---|---|---|
| Ark Winged Dragon Taming | 12,500 | Steam Community, Reddit |
| Pterodactyl Taming Tips | 8,700 | YouTube, B station |
| Ark game bug | 6,200 | Twitter, Tieba |
| Pterosaur refresh mechanism | 4,800 | Discord, NGA |
2. Analysis of the reasons why pterosaurs are difficult to tame
1.Low refresh rate: According to actual player data, the refresh rate of pterosaurs is much lower than that of other flying creatures. For example, in the redwood forest area, the refresh rate of pterosaurs is only 5%, while the refresh rate of other flying creatures is usually between 15% and 20%.
| creature type | Refresh probability (%) | Common refresh areas |
|---|---|---|
| pterosaur | 5 | redwood forest, mountains |
| argentine giant eagle | 15 | Snowy mountains and plateaus |
| Pteranodon | 20 | beach, plain |
2.Harsh conditions for taming: Taming a pterosaur requires specific food and conditions. The following is a comparison of the difficulty of taming pterosaurs and other flying creatures:
| Creature name | tame food | Taming time (minutes) | Stun value decreasing speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| pterosaur | High quality raw meat/Allosaurus egg feed | 40-60 | Fast |
| Pteranodon | Ordinary raw meat | 20-30 | slow |
| argentine giant eagle | High quality raw meat | 30-40 | medium |
3.AI behavior is complex: Pteranodon's AI design makes it easier to escape from combat, especially when low on health. Player feedback stated that the escape probability of pterosaurs is as high as 70%, while the escape probability of other flying creatures is only 30%-40%.
3. Solutions hotly discussed by players
In response to the problem of pterosaurs being difficult to tame, the player community has proposed the following solutions:
1.Use a trap: Build a trap with a dinosaur door frame, and close the door frame after introducing the pterosaur, which can significantly increase the taming success rate.
2.Carry narcotics: Since the pterosaur's stun value decreases quickly, it is recommended to carry at least 2 times the amount of anesthetics or biotoxins.
3.teamwork: Multi-person cooperation and division of labor, one person attracts hatred, and the other person shoots tranquilizer arrows, which can reduce the probability of the pterosaur escaping.
4. Official response and future updates
Game developer Wildcard said in a recent community Q&A that pterosaurs were originally designed as "high-risk, high-reward" creatures, but admitted that there may be some issues with its refresh rate and taming difficulty. Future versions may adjust the following:
| Adjust direction | expected version | Player vote support rate |
|---|---|---|
| Increase pterosaur refresh rate | v3.5 | 78% |
| Reduce the rate at which the stun value decreases | v3.5 | 65% |
| Add exclusive taming props | v4.0 | 82% |
Conclusion
As a very unique creature in "Ark: Survival Evolved", the pterosaur's taming difficulty is not only a test of the player's skills, but may also become an obstacle to the game experience. By analyzing data and player feedback, the importance of design balance can be seen. We hope that future versions will bring more reasonable adjustments so that more players can experience the fun of taming pterosaurs.
