If the capture mechanic is so shit, why not just play standard? Don't have to worry about killing the beasts with your roxxor deeps there.

Because all old players play only on league, because they(we) want something new, so your advice is completely out of place.

There is also another whole game, that was designed for kids who like Pokemon and other "fun" stuff.

The whole idea of capturing a "dead" beast to me sounds like trying to patch a problem without rethinking the way it works. You cna improve the mechanics for capturing a beast.


Various ideas to explore:

- First, capturing could always require the beast to be defeated, meaning it reaches 0% life but it's considered "knocked out". Point being here, no awkward trying to lower your damage output while you're being beaten on by bunch of other dangerous mobs nearby. As long as the creature has a net/trap on it, you can spam damage.

- Able to throw the net as soon as you engage a mob. A gauge appears kinda like when you fish in Stardew Valley. It could be a horizontal bar under the mob name or at bottom of screen. Now you have to get the gauge to some level. Could be a DPS check where you need to keep hitting the mob (so for most people this is just spam). But if the beast has movement tactics then you have to move and try to keep hitting. When the gauge hits a certain threshold, or the beast is close to dying, it's captured.

- The net is more like a trap like those large Temporal Chains AOE effects in the trials. So perhaps you can throw it anywhere, and you want to lure the creature in it. OR , you need the creature to die WHILE in this area. It may be a little clunky too but better still than the original implementation because you don't need to care about timing. Just throw the net/trap and spam the beast till ti dies. The advantage of this approach, which could be combined with above, is that you can capture multiple smaller beasts (often who are in packs) without the awkward Einhar animation repeating for each small beast.


Other suggestions

Personally I feel like the tiered nets are also a drag and a PITA. It adds yet more drops to sort through. It's completely unnecessary. I'd rather have just one net, also bindable as a skill to the skill slots, which can be upgraded.

Being in an area and having the wrong tier of net, or running out of net, having to buy some, come bac, or reset the area... it's all just busy bee work that the game doesn't need. It's complex enough as it is. You're making the gameplay slower and annoying.

- Improve the capturing mechanics and make it a little bit chalenging or fun.
- Make it possible to capture multiple small beasts at once with a trap.

As it is right now, I just want to skip the whole thing until, I presume, I can find all the beasts in higher level variations in the Maps at which point it'll be less frustrating. So it kinda defeats the point when you added "leveling" recipes but it's such a PITA to manage different tier or nets in inventory while leveling, it's just not worth the trouble.

The League is a good idea, with some polish and creativity you can make it work.
