assuming they’re like us it would make the most sense to be in a group but they were made in a void so to speak, unlike humans they never really had to band together to survive things, they’re kept alive for their purpose
So really it depends on how tempermental they are

Perhaps its lesser teeth have a connection with its echolocation somehow?
Not a direct connection, I mean, but how it kills things

I was under the impression the different Gen 1 heads we've seen were just for aesthetic choice should the player like one over the other 😮
Though I do like the idea of them actually meaning something though

Each gen1 variant having a different playstyle is an awesome idea.

V2's already my favorite from appearance alone.
If it has echo-sight for it's gameplay.....gughughughguhuguhghughu
I do find it interesting though that it's teeth are all flat unlike V1.

Neurotenic looking almost
Like an eyeless...I think V2 is more uncanny but V1 is my fav
worthy ingot
what if gen 1s have the ability to regenerate loss organs (just parts of their brains for that organ ) if their whole brain gets destroyed then they die and the ability to quickly heal what would be fatal wounds, that would make them very difficult to kill and resistant to most things, perhaps not fire tho
worthy ingot
see they already made other creations with those sort of abilities, so what would be stopping them from trying to experiment that on human like being, eventually trying that on actual human soldiers idk
bold crater
I wanna say the Tissoplastic Reaper was the result of trying that strain out on a human subject.
Though if I remember correctly, the Reaper was scrapped in terms of design. But I think the creature itself still exists in the lore.
worthy ingot
yes but what about a perfected non mutated variant
cus the reaper is a mutated human right or was

oh wow, what I'm thinking is that they are trying to prefect weapons, that seems to be what most believe so they start with dinos and they come up with the strains but they consume too much food to sustain then the magna rex comes and sort of solves the energy that these strains have, I presume there would have been more perfected sub strains for the tisso and neuro strains? (probably they never got concepts or even ideas for them but they could still be revealed at some point in the future perhaps
then come the heads of each strain right, the colossus, reaper and mother of cannibals, so they began experimenting on humans but only created monsters
so could the gen 1s and 2s be sub strains of one of the main strains kind of like a more efficient version of them still in testing like the magna, a more efficient verion of the type h rex idk

oh wow, what I'm thinking is that they are trying to prefect weapons, that seem...
Magna strain is no longer canon, and we know the dinosaurs aren’t weapons but gen 1 are, strains have some medical implications

Tissoplastic I know is/can be linked to regenerating damaged tissue if not entire limbs

Unless it's less "we'll make you better!" and more "we'll make you better."

Don:
"There is no island that has Gen 1s, Gen 2s, dinosaurs and standard functional human beings on it inside of the story. It does not exist. It has not happened. If it does happen, I've certainly have no written it yet
So you may get a game that has all of that, there is no melting pot of AE's ideas where all of them get shoved into the same thing
So while the gameplay is being supported, it's not just 'oh hey here's an island, it has all of these things on it' it doesn't work like that.
No. The game is not 'non-canonical', it's more so you're gonna get a lens to see various chunks of islands and stories that get told"

I just know Don once pitched it to a creature I think, never said what though nor if it was necessarily confirmed.
Rugops just seems fitting to me since it's smaller, agile, and seems to be a human hunter of sorts. Camouflage would help it blend in (literally) with the unnatural colors of human environments as well as be a nice nod to The Lost World novel that had a camo Carno.
I know Tissoplastic was originally said to have camouflage, but I'd hope some non-strain animal could have it <:C No other game has really done ACTUAL camouflage well. Isle could do it ;o;
I used to advocate for it on Mono until the concept for it came out 😛

What did he mean by this what part was slightly accurate and what part wasn’t? Something wasn’t containable but ae didn’t technically abandon it? Or am I reading too far into this?

Likely the part about the world in their palm if I had to guess

Time for the traditional theory before bed
Because we know gen 1 interacts with the replicator to their own benefit, and that the replicator is a collection of systems designed to create life, I find it likely that either A) The action of gen 1 sacrificing things matters more than the result, or B) the replicator is partially non-functional wherever gen 1 are, and has adapted them as part of their systems

In this situation, the replicator is either functioning properly, but not as intended, or making do to function as properly as it can despite a setback
Or AE does want gen 1 to sacrifice things to the replicator and I’m completely wrong

I really hope the replicator as we have theorized is only somewhat sentient meaning it’s still following its original command/goal
I like the idea of it being sentient but at the same time I don’t want it to be taken too far

Why was I getting the vibe that the replicator was out of ae”a control
The islands where it operates are abandoned, it likely is entirely or partially out of AE’s hands

South dome is gone.

Yep

Wonder if it will be placed back into the new swamp. And then there will be a bridge connecting them both. Since they are at different elavations.
Matching the old gateway concept

Some sort of swamp base on stilts would be cool

That's what I meant yes.
I don't know what's so confusing about it
They are all over gateway
Especially in jungles
fast forge
Devs have mentioned game trails being added to dense jungle and such, all leading back to main roads. Somehow they tie into the migration mechanic known as "patrols" too, I think
but they aren't in game yet
hexed forge
Game trails are in the game
The migration system adjustments were said to be in the next HT in the devblog
Yippee
lethal moat
Next hordetest sounds like it might be surprisingly large
fast forge
no, they are not
what you are probably thinking of are the open patches of ground in the forest
those have not changed since the devs mentioned adding game trails
back in march or so, I think?
lethal moat

I hope the next HT doesn't include the migration changes.
fast forge
I hope the next HT doesn't include the migration changes.
why not?
hexed forge
Because then the HT might drag on for more than a month
lethal moat
I don't see the issue with that, last one was longer than that
hexed forge
It kills unofficial servers, I play mostly on unofficials.
Sometimes on officials when needed
And trust me, unofficial players don't like long HTs
fast forge
It kills unofficial servers, I play mostly on unofficials.
that's fair, I don't really play unofficials so it makes no difference to me
hexed forge
fast forge
I just want the rest of migrations
hexed forge
If it's ready, let us find bugs, however long that takes
After 2 months of HT it still released super buggy sadly.
Diet bug is still in, Diablo hit boxes are broken, unofficial servers broke for like a week, etc.
lethal moat
Diet bug is still in, Diablo hit boxes are broken, unofficial servers broke for ...
Diet bug is fixed internally
hexed forge
Still broken in-game, that doesn't change that fact tho.
Could they release a small hot fix to help the main branch? They probably could.
But instead we gotta wait for a HT
lethal moat
I don't understand that train of thought tbh but you do you
hexed forge
The point is that after 2 months it still released super buggy lmfao. Many players don't like that. Kill unofficials for 2 months only for it to release with bugs.
fast forge
I'm excited for south plateau to be gone, it was such a dead zone and already looks a lot like other areas
lethal moat
I don't think it was that bad, I'd rather get more now than hold stuff off for the sake of unofficials
Keep the momentum moving

Can someone post the old gateway concept?

Can someone post the old gateway concept?
hexed forge
This time I'm actually going to download it I promise
hexed forge
Mmm, no docks in the swamp area
fast forge
Mmm, no docks in the swamp area
yeah I don't think it will have docks
swamps make poor areas for docks traditionally (I think)
Usually you want a quick dropoff under water so that boats that sit low in the water or with a deep keel can dock
swamps are usually in areas with a very gradual elevation change off the coast
lethal moat
yeah I don't think it will have docks
swamps make poor areas for docks tradition...
Hovercraft could be fun tho
fast forge
it does show human buildings in the swamps though, and that would be interesting
lethal moat
mhm
hexed forge
That small dome structure could be botany related
fast forge
Yeah I dunno, it's not quite a perfect circle? So maybe not a dome but I dunno what else it would be
hexed forge
I think its just the image making it not a perfect circle. If you look at the actual domes they aren't perfect either.
fast forge
that's true
I did have a thought
The only square building near the coast that we see in the concept map is this one
Location for the holding area?
hexed forge
Mmmm, doubt

Location for the holding area?
If you look at the place ingame, that location is on a cliff. I don't think that would be a good place for the facility
fast forge
or something like that

That makes more sense to put it at the Docks doesn’t it?
fast forge

True

yeah I dunno how it would work with the cliff
fast forge
If you look at the place ingame, that location is on a cliff. I don't think that...
In the past I figured the building at the end of that road would be just off the end of the cliff, with access down to the nearby dock below at coast level and another entrance up on the cliff above

I feel like basing our assumptions off of an ancient map is more trouble than we get out of it

Tbf, it has been pretty accurate to us.
fast forge
I feel like basing our assumptions off of an ancient map is more trouble than we...
I think it's like 70% reliable
We can't take anything as fact but I think it is a template they are still using (or their internal template started with this, but has been updated)
hexed forge
https://tenor.com/view/marvel-is-it-though-thor-bruce-banner-gif-14242312
Yes
It might not help us with what specific structure will be at x location.
But it helps us see that there atleast might be some sort if structure.
hexed forge
https://tenor.com/view/marvel-is-it-though-thor-bruce-banner-gif-14242312
Look at the map, it's pretty accurate to the things currently ingame.
fast forge
The changes Don mentioned today don't seem like old ideas finally being enacted, but rather updates that change once they have seen how the playerbase behaves
(Like removing south dome and south plateau allows players to move more freely between swamp and south plains. Not something they could have predicted on old maps, but amended as they see player data)
hexed forge
Mmmm true
fast forge
So I think map changes are generally a mix of old plans combined with new adjustments
Stick to the plan but stay adaptable
lethal moat
Sounds about right
hexed forge
I still can see how the south dome might come back.
fast forge
I feel like basing our assumptions off of an ancient map is more trouble than we...
I think there are a number of things from the concept map that could turn out true
A bigger facility at the dam at water access
Small docks around the island
Nesting Grounds
Many human complex locations
lethal moat
Right, but we don’t need the map to tell us that
fast forge
The small docks and the human building locations are
