I also believe skill should be given for failed attempts of taming. Case in point, I followed a cow around yesterday for 2 hrs and fed it 240 lvl 43 apples and got nothing for it. Absolutely nothing. Pretty close to signing off for good.
Hey!!! Devs!! hear our voice! look at all these comments here! Life in real life is already very challenging and more often difficult to overcome.... people turn to playing RPG like this to try to experience challenges that give them satisfaction of overcoming these challenges that are actually similar to real life, only diference is doing it in games poses fewer to no real risk. now, trying to make this game "MUCH HARDER" than "REAL LIFE" would actually just make the players wanna live in the "REAL LIFE" instead. and this will definitely kill the game eventually....
We hear you and we are reminding that you need specific food for specific animals. Of course, it will be hard if you will try feeding all of them with apples. In real life, animals eat different things as well
Boar and sow - wheat and edible taproot
Mutton and ram - peas and cabbage
Bull and cow - mushroom and potato
Horses - carrot and apple
fair enough... we understand the concept.. but the point is, the game is very ruthless at this moment.... especially for newbies with no single friend from the game... like listen to this:
-travelling from one point to the other is already very tedious, to make it easier you will need a horse... but then....
-acquiring a horse, you will need to go to a very long process of leveling up your hunting skills to 60... everybody is patient enough to do that, so no problem with that, but then...
-you will again need to level your animal lore to 60. another set of patience is needed here... but everybody is so patient towards the game, so again there's no problem with this. but then again.....
-to level up "animal lore", you can do these: tame, manage, etc... to manage coops, you will need "coops"... to build coops, you will need nails... to acquire nails you can either try to create them ( which means you will again go to a very tedious process of leveling up your another set of skills to be able to utilize and create somethihng from iron, and also to build a working station for that) or just find a settlement that would let you IN that easily... which means you will need to travel here and there to do that... and it would take so much of your time since you dont have a "horse" yet... and mind you, you are doing this all for this horse...; and (2) to tame animals, you will need to find specific lures for a specific animals only to find out that when you use the tracking skill, all you can find on 80% of your tries are grouses' and rabbit tracks. then here comes the animal you are looking for... you try to feed them the lure, AND THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED. you will get no experience for the wrong lure and very very little to no experience for the correct lure but failed attempt. and after about a hundred tries, you succeeded! and acquired about less than 1 point of skill progress... HURRAY!
-repeat the process a hundred more times and you are all set and READY TO TAME A HORSE... and here comes another problem, where will you find a horse???
All these efforts and tedious acts (not to mention time-consuming...) , and still you are not even halfway to your objective... this is how the NEWBIES feel about this game no matter how much they love it. those who are already in a guild will probably react but i bet they dont know anything about "the feels" since they dont have to go through all these... BUT for the newbies and starters, this is a huge thing....
Just a few tweaks... and we were all good and set... but NO! you made the game even more tedious....
Taming is Now Fixed
