Ancient Featherlight too OP?
Since someone found it was too OP with the stamina, health and everything, I would like to ask all of you, who curerntly are using this mod. The question is actually simple. Should I nerve the Featherlight with lower health, lower stamina and less speed? Anything else I should adjust?

Remember, that I will only change the stuff, which the majority of the users of it want to be changed. Here is now your chance to say, what you would like to be changed or to be kept :)

Go ahead

The weight & health are way too high. I just tamed a lv. 3 & it has a 816 weight stat & over 2000 health! This is ludicrous for it's size. xD The speed compared to other fliers, I agree is a bit much, but since I'm a user of the classic flyers mod, I'm not too concerned by this.

I agree, it's way OP with the current health and weight.

I agree 100% with @Xanthe other than the speed.

I feel they should be designed as being a fragile, light-loaded, but fast mount!

Agreeing completely with Kyndle.

Health and weight are too op. The speed on them makes sense and I feel like it shouldn't really be altered.

I feel like nerfing their weight AND speed will just make them useless. As their torpor doesn't do enough to make them useful for taming and their melee is horrible and should never be used for fighting.

make it settable in the ini and let people decide themselves

It's sadly not as easy as you might think to make the ini options for this stuff. I will reduce the health and weight in the next update a bit though

Hey there! I came here to say exactly this ha.

My gf finally found one of these little (big) guys and tamed it on Rag. Very pretty and she loves him. She was telling me how it had a ton of stamina though and she felt guilty about how far it could fly compared to her others, so I looked and.. yeah, sure enough it had 2.3k stamina and 3200 hp lol. A bit crazy for a fresh level 90-something bird. xD
I think if the stamina consumption (while.. running? charging? sprinting? one of those) was just turned up a bit, it wouldn't probably be necessary to mess with the per-level scaling in the ADK. I agree that ini settings would be difficult.. casting to so many characters is usually pretty intensive on the server and also unreliable.

In terms of the HP/weight, that would likely need to be adjusted in the statuscomponent for per-level wild values, or an adjustment to Max values. Rider weight is also set to 0 currently, which doesn't reflect how most mounted dinos act.

If there's anything I can help with, I'd be happy to! Otherwise, the Modding Community Discord is an incredible resource with excellent people. My GF loves these guys and I just want them to be a alternative mount she doesn't feel conflicted over using because of a couple OP stats. :)

Thank you for your comment ^^

Yeah I know there are still quite OP and I am indeed willing to change those points in the future. I hope I will have time for it the next few days. Can you maybe tell me as well how the spawning rate is rurrently on Ragnarok? Since I was aiming for a rather rare spawn ^^

I have asked in the ARK Modding community discord already quite a few things... sadly a lot of my questons got just ignored, so I guess people there don't know the answer or are not willing to shar their knowledge xD
