Removing Metriacanthosaurus

[Apollodorus 103]

I was wondering about the possibility of removing the Metriacanthorsaurus from Ragnarok spawn list. Personally I believe its just another spam additional dino that no one really tames since it has no real use, it also presents no real challenge to the game since its easy to kill. Removing more of these dinos that provide no advantage will free up spawns for other creatures that might be of more use or entertainment for our current player base in my opinion.

If you are wondering the dino in question, this is the link to its page in the additional creatures wiki: https://additional-creatures.fandom.com/wiki/Metriacanthosaurus

i thought it was a cool animal despite its lack of being another OP dino, but maybe nobody likes it as you say. Perhaps make this into a poll? idk. Can we remove dodo's too?? lol

Its not that its not overpowered, its that it provides nothing new, in terms of abilities it brings nothing to the table. I wouldnt suggest getting rid of the dodo as you say because its a vanilla dino, but having one less additional creature that isnt unique in any way wouldnt hurt. I could go the route of creating a poll, though I did want to see opinions, im sure very few people have encountered the dino since it tends to spawn in a specific region, and not all over.

For some reason I cannot edit my previous comment, personally why did you find the dino cool, personally to me it seems like anything else thats similar to it in sizing and viability, like the icthyovenator, the carno, allosaur, etc.

I don't feel like it takes up much of the spawn table with where and how few of them spawn. The more... interesting aspect of them is their taming mechanic, they're nothiung special health wise or not op or real strong like a lot of the ac2 dinos, but their model is acually really well put together unlike the Tarbos evem.

You are correct in that they have an interesting design though I’m sure after looking at shadlos discord he will most likely keep releasing more interesting dinos. I do also agree that they don’t take too much of the spawn table but i will be looking at other Dino’s that should probably also get removed from mods, we still have some broken things, I’m sure people might like the Dino but this is only my opinion because I view them in terms of utility, I know far too many have bleed effects.

Sort of related question - has the topic of mod dino saddles been brought up?  Curious if there's a way to get better than primitive saddles for them.

I think so for the moment I believe you can only buy them from the store, although an alternative method would be nice.

Will definitively implement another method.

Oh Spoon, you know we can't allow that! The Flock of Doom™️ must fly!

That's great to hear Spoon.  One thing I like about ark is figuring how creative ways to combine dino power.  The mod dinos give us more options.. but with junky saddles they are of limited fighting use.
