Torpor Mechanics Explained.
Step 1 : hit target, Initial torpor(if Set to true) and Torpor over time apply as well as any other effects (stun,food drain).
Step 2: wait for colored smoke to disappear underneath target (10 seconds)
Step 3: Repeat Step 1, Repeat Step 2
Step 4: KO'd Target after enough repetitions of steps 1 and 2




This will allow you to customize taming/ko difficulty to your preferences as well as set the challenge of taming back in place for the higher TIer dinos.

Keep in Mind if you hit your target before the Smoke is gone you lose your initial Torpor damage and it resets the timer for Torpor over time to 10 seconds again.

This is to make Tranqing/ Knocking out require a bit of patience, planning and skill rather than just spamming of arrows/darts or attacks to KO something.





Also of Note, Different instigators (sources) of a buff SHOULD stack on the same target ie if two players hit a target both of their buffs Should apply and do torpor etc , this should encourage cooperation when knocking out harder dinos.
