Collar Recovery Skill not working

1. Title:Collar Recovery skill not working
2. Reproduction Rate:100%
3. Blocker?N
4. Details: Taming now consumes a Collar on every tame attempt. Collar Recovery skills at 71%, with 26 taming attempts (24 Failures, 2 Successes) consumed 26 Collars With 78 Taming skill, was attempting to Tame Obsidian Wolf (7% Chance of success)

1. Steps to Reproduce:Attempt to tame a creature at your appropiate level
2. User Specs:Win 7

 

Confirmed with me as well. I have a collar recovery of 50, which grants a 44.4% Collar Recovery. I have attempted Taming 15 times and used 15 collars. 1 Collar per tame attempt.

It doesnt appear that my Collar Recovery is working at all.

 

Confirmed, 1 collar per attempt - skill does not seem to work as intended

A quick search in my log from past 2 days confirmes further, all attempts resulted in using a collar:

Code:

Search "Item crafted: Recipe: Taming Collar" (97 hits in 2 files)
Search "You failed to tame the creature" (80 hits in 2 files)
Search "You tamed a creature" (6 hits in 2 files)

I have 11 Collars left in my Backpack...

Someone owes me 400 silver and 100 iron ore

Also tamed pet's HP and DPS is only 1/2 what it used to be

 

Bug submitted. Thanks.

 

"Tweak description on collar consumption to explain that it only has a chance to work when you fail to tame"

I hope this is not the solution for this skill (still) not working!?!

 

Tested in my guild with differents skill levels and the skill is indeed broken.

Thanks for the thread.

 

any update on this bug? please let us know when will be fixed. Thanks in advance.

 

@Attenwood
Still broken. I am losing collars on near every attempt on things WAY below my recovery level.

 

I`m really getting a bit impatient. We had 4 patches since this bug was submitted and every patch contained changes to the taming system, but to fix colar recovery seems to interest anyone!?!
It`s really annoying to tame without that skill!

@Umuri : I don`t understand what you mean. What has the recovery level to do with the level of pets your taming? My understanding of this skill is: If you fail your taming attempt, you have a certain % (depends on your colar recovery skill) NOT to lose a taming colar. I don`t see any connection to the animal level. Am I wrong?

 

Same issue. Hopefully the patch today did something.

 

In the past it was tied to the delta (your recovery level - their tame requirement level).
So for example, if you were taming a wolf that required 20 and you had 50 in collar recovery, you'd rarely lose collars, but against a spider that required 85 you'd lose tons.

Which is how it should be.
Otherwise, fledgling tamers can -never- sell pets, because they will always spend more on collars than the high level people, which shouldn't be the case.

 

Thanks for your Explanation, Umuri!
Perhaps they should tweak that into the skill description, in case it still works this way.

 

If this is how collar will be deal with in the future...

Can we have collar to have durability that take hit when we fail (modified by collar recovery) ? e.g. 30/30 collar will do

So we can skill up with reasonable amount of material while a successful tame will consume the whole collar? do take into consideration how much resource each collar required compared to the skill up rate.

 

Any news about this issue?

60 recovery and I lost all collars with any new attempt.

 

Yes still waiting. @Attenwood

Also is the taming skill actually working at the moment?...I spent 30 mins trying to tame a Large Red Spider at 20% Chance to tame and after 20 tame attempts (and losing 20 collars) I still couldn't tame it.

 

agreed taming and collar recovery both are giving very poor success rates right now. my wife has 91 taming and 100 collar recovery. went to tame some grizzly bears in a 4 skull zone and used up 20 collars, and no bears. The display says 14% chance to tame.

Sorry but this is terrible given material costs for collars. Please fix ASAP, and when you test internally don't forget us average joes under 100 skill level

 

Yes I concur. I had 42 failed taming attempts, I lost 40 collars and only recovered 2. My collar recover is at 85 which is 65.4% recovery chance. Since that is only a 5% recovery rate, I would have to believe that there is something that is working correctly in the Recovery Collar skill.

 

@Attenwood - This is still broken, and it completely immobilizing a class of players. If this is intended, can we get a statement that near 90%+ losses on a low skill requirement creature (>gm skill and >gm collar recovery vs a 30 skill creature) is intended

 

It can't be intended, is insane. Right now all I can tell to any new player that is trying to level tamin is...good luck, and be the force with you!

 

Hello @Attenwood it will be nice if you let us know when the tame collar recovery bug will be fixed since a lot of us want to play tame as part of our skill set and right know is really a hell, and as a programmer myself im pretty sure that a % of recovery is not the most complicated thing to do.

Hope you can give us an ETA at least.
