Pack hunting needs a serious nerf!

3 velociraptors easily killing a brachiosaur? Seriously?
I hope, it’ll be fixed. The game looks amazing but some absurd details could ruin it easily.

Not only should the damage output from small carnivores be reduced, but the damage output from the animal being attacked and fighting back should be increased. If a T. Rex grabs a Raptor and throws it, that should be the end.

Also, a big carnivore throwing a hadrosaur around like it is a strawdoll is bad

yeah we've seen this animation for the last 3 years. And again seeing this on every big carnivore is a bit disapointing.
Maybe let this animation for the Indominus but pls give all the other big carnivores unique animations or at least a chance to defend the hadros by themselves.

Agree. They need some kind of threat assessment mechanic in the game that helps territory. If a Rex enters a raptors territory the raptors should attempt to shift their territory out of the rexes territory to avoid a conflict unless they're out of food and there are a lot of raptors they shouldn't attack a Rex until they don't have much of a choice. But it might already work that way, pack testing is kind of forcing them to pack attack so maybe it doesn't happen very often in a normal paddock.

I agree too. Pack hunting is way too strong. For instance, 3 raptors can hunt down a Indominus Rex, while in the movie, they struggled to kill it even with 4 raptors all specially powered and trained, with a T rex. Actually it was Mosa who got the white tyrant down. For many reasons, I think the raptors really should be nerfed, even themselves without pack hunting. Once, 1 raptor just killed an Indoraptor with one bite!

Yeah. The raptors are turly invincible. Getting bit by a giant carnivore, flung 20 feet to the sky and crashing, get between a falling dinosaur and the floor, many things the raptors could really die, they don't. That's frontier's one mistake.

This is one of the biggest issues actually. It's so immersion breaking when a pair of Velociraptors (or even worse, Proceratosaurus) just kill a giant Brachiosaurus, with the Brachiosaurus doing nothing.
Seriously, just nerf the pack hunters in general and also make them more vulnerable to damage.
Pack hunters should outright die when a

• huge predator (like T. Rex, Spinosaurus, Giganotosaurus etc.) or
• giant Sauropod (Dreadnoughtus, Brachiosaurus, Mamenchisaurus etc.) or
• big armored herbivore (Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, etc.)

hits and/or bites it. They shouldn't survive that, or at least get heavily wounded and give up the hunt. Why are they capable of killing giant Sauropods anyway? It's extremely unrealistic and nonsensical...
And also, the Sauropods should be able to defend themselves with some kind of animation. Why do they literally nothing?
