I suck big time at this game and i still have no issue with taming using this method.
Yes ofc I did. If there is nothing wrong with this system, then why does it seam to NOT work for so many players?
Seams quite broken.

Please do make one, and lets revise that and see if the mechanic seams good afterwards. Altho that's gonna take what, a week?

Tbh I feel liek saying the taming is a good system is kind of the same as saying that the hunting is good. It's more about cheesing the animals and abusing game mechanics then to do what was actually intendend in the first place. Hence I still deem this as beeing broken and in need of a fix.

How is taming about cheesing and abusing game mechanics? That IS the taming mechanic. I do think that there's some room for improvement of the whole system, though.

First of all taming is a OK system. You kept saying that many people are having this issue when you seem to be the only one, And if you do have this issue then you just suck. Literally taming is easy and many people are doing it. I can't hardly leave my base without seeing people with tamed animals so if you can't tame them its your fault not the system. As for hunting yes it is broken.

Taming is easy, the animals are all weak and don't run away at lightning speed :D

You keep comming in with an attitude of "you just suck" towards me when trying to talk about something. This is very annoying and frankly makes it hard to take you seriously. You have to cheese the system, because u cant flat out beat the animal in combat. You must wait for it tio have defences up and use parry for example, and that would be fine IF the issue of a chaacther that has to high stats wouldnt be there.

See a character with to highstats (as compared to the sheeps like 15-20 ua?) will do dmg trought defences hence making the animal DIE. This promotes use of ALTS for taming, and hence is cheesing the system. Have you ever tamed?

Best wishes and have a nice weekend :)

64str, 63 agi, 45ua with cutthroat knuckles and bronze armor. only killed a boar this world and i think i forgot to peace it. i do about 20hp with a punch, knuckles makes it 33hp with left hook 43hp(iirc)

i take off the knuckles when the sheep is close to 100 hp and only punch. horses/cows/boars have over 200 hp so i only left hook under 200hp

edit: i've tamed 3cows, 4horses, and 2sheep. only have boars left

Simple question so the devs get an idea at what point the current system fails:
What stats, gear and attacks to you use to tame animal - and then killing it by accident?

Supposedly those are his stats. Which makes me think he is doing something bad.

Either he doesn't peace animal at the beginning of the combat and just keeps fighting it when it yields, or he attacks the animal when it's not ready for combat (resulting in taming progress reset and combat till death).

Or he didn't visit his animals for more than a day and taming progress was reset.
