Hitboxes & Attacks
  • So the collison/hitbox on the Drake and probably all dragons, extends quite a distance out from the edge of the wings. There is a small/medium "Dead zone" where you or your dinos can get stuck on the model despite there being nothing actually there to run into.

  • It appears that atleast the Manticore Attack(s) can go through Metal cielings, atleast anyway. I had an encounter with a Manticore, whose tail swipe destroyed my Generator which was inside a metal box, and 3 walls down from the cieling of which we were fighting it.

  • The camera on the Dragon+ models is very far away, and results in feeling very "disconnected" from the mouse making them difficult to fly effectively. The models are lovely, but I don't need to see the entire Dragon while I'm flying it. Any chance this could be changed to something more similiar to the Quetz or other flyers? I can't help but feel I'm being filmed for a movie with a camera like that.

  • Water Dragon deals Torpor!?
    I approached a Water Dragon with a Water Wyvern, and it instantly knocked my Wyvern unconcious. I flew back in a hurry with my higher level Drake and the Water Dragon again deals half it's Torpor worth in one breath attack!?
    I thought the effect of the Water types was Suffocation, NOT Torpor!

I sat and watched a Drake and a Paracer fight in the swamps just now, and the Drake took 0 Damage at all from the Paracer. Despite the Paracer doing it's thing and trying to stomp on the Drake several times. Not a single value of HP was lost.

I'm not sure why this occured, but admittingly it's a little upsetting that things can't seem to do much if any dmg in a wild setting to these creatures. And while mounted on a tamed creature, the only things that appear to aggro are T-Rex (and perhaps Giga) when you're near them.
Argents won't aggro, raptor, Carno.. Unless you pick a fight, or another beast from your mod there is nothing trying to kill you while mounted on one of your creatures.

I get this is a "Tame a whelp off Rex Kibble (rather than a quetzal) type end-game scenerio" but it's a little upsetting it's so far on the "end-game" scale that nothing is even trying to be threatening.
While out on my Drake I'm more worried about getting too close to Kapro than I am flying/walking around heards of Carno/Raptor/Argents, etc;
This also makes it so they have no real natural preditors themselves, like the Giga.. Unless it's a Giga maybe.. Which is also kind of frustrating to be honest. Sure they're "Rex Level" or even in some cases "Giga Level" if you consider HellKites but even Rex can die off to a Paracer or Bronto.. A Drake seems unable to even be hit
