@eternal orbit I dont think people even try to ambush half the time and still ambush me just because I can’t hear them lol but if you have a hard time trying to set one up just use the storms or bushes and wait it’s incredibly easy especially if you play the game a bit.

@wooden condor I’m pretty sure what you’re talking about in your suggestion is dirt. When you run around a dirty terrain your Dino gets dirty and it only comes off if it rains or if you swim.

i know it’s technically possible to get the first bite off but after that the fights usually end up becoming a dogfight in an open field where the herbivore can easily see your whole pack and just aim at whoever is running in.

The fights usually devolve into a situation I think of as 1man with a baseball bat fighting 3-4 guys with fists.

I think with the new camera change and longer hunger timers there would be less Carnivores dying constantly and having to regrow AND less herbivores being hunted as hunger isn’t constantly a necessity.

Right now in the game if you play a carnivore and hunt other adult dinosaurs (especially herbivores) you’re guaranteed losing 1 or 2 pack members each hunt which is unsustainable.

I’ve got over 1k hours on evrima and regularly kill stego and teno. it’s not like i’m just new and don’t know how to play or never had successful hunts. it’s just probably the most unrealistic part of the entire game and i think at least trying the new camera style and seeing how it changes the state of the game would be worth it.

i appreciate you sharing your opinion though šŸ™‚ i hope my reply didn’t come off as hostile or anything though cuz it’s not! we’re just dino fans discussing our favorite game lol ā¤ļø

ill be honest if you gaurenteed to lose pack mates from fighting any herbivore besides stego, thats on your group, if yall playing omnis or weaker carnis, then yes a tenonto will stomp a few heads in before it dies, which is realistic, not saying this in an aggressive way. losing 1-2 from hunting a stego is also understandable and realistic as its an apex herbivore in the current roster. and idk about your fighst but the ones our group do arent dog fights. turning it into a dog fight is what leads to death. the current camera system isnt an issue thast leading to dog fights, its also easy to sneak up, even in the middle of the fight, you can tell when the other player is focused on someone else, usually when against stegos.

I don’t agree that the old health bar should be reinstated but I maybe that when you hover your mouse over the health bar it should say if your health is ā€Good, Medium, Low, Criticalā€ or something to that effect so you don’t have to see the colour to know your health

u cant call these nerfs

just look at carno and raptor, then u ll see nerfs

Teno has never been OP
It has been good at times, sometimes very good, but never OP
Omni and carno both had times when they were OP and needed nerfs

and it was like that for a good while too

omni and carno were good but here in this herbie lover kingdom there were outcries for further nerfs

no animal should have to rely on being in a pack to survive

teno is small game

urban flax
desert arch
#

almost as big as carno

wooden agate
#

what

lapis swallow
urban flax
#

They're roughly the same size

wooden agate
vital dock
#

it just currently fills other roles as well

desert arch
#

small game is anything below 1ton Id say

lapis swallow
#

Bro must be from the netherlands or else I cant explain how teno would be small to them

vital dock
#

u clearly have no idea where it stands in the whole dino rooster of 60smth species

wooden agate
#

i guess a 1 ton+ animal is considered small game now

crude girder
#

"Small" is a useless metric to apply in balance since it relies on a point of comparison and everyone uses a different point

#

1.6 tons IS small, compared to a rex

urban flax
vital dock
crude girder
#

1.6 tons is huge compared to an Omni

#

and 1.6 is basically the same as 1.8

vital dock
lapis swallow
#

So teno is not small game then?

#

for carno?

vital dock
#

it is compared to para

wooden agate
#

so you agree? teno isnt small game then if its basically the same as carno?

crude girder
#

It could be considered as small game depending on your definition of it

wooden agate
crude girder
#

Is small game "Smaller than me" or is it "Significantly smaller than me" for a given definition of significant

wooden agate
lapis swallow
crude girder
#

to me, it doesn't really fit the vibe of small game to a Carno, but I could see the arguement

#

It has significantly less HP, as the 200hp difference is enough to add or remove 1-2 hits to kill

vital dock
crude girder
#

Of course, Teno makes up for the objective lack of HP with CC allowing free hits following one of its secondary attacks, and the stability modifier negating charge

#

Carno of course can counter that by having generally better mobility and not being reliant on stamina to use its primary attack, a Teno on 0 stam is dead meat, a Carno on 0 stam is still a force to be reckoned with

crude girder
#

So, if you use "It's smaller than I am" then yes, Teno I think fits, but it's still very capable of defending itself in a brawl

lapis swallow
crude girder
#

If you think that small game also requires that they cannot hold their own in a straight fight, then no, it's not small game, but that's really less about the size and more the animal's individual abilities

urban flax
#

I'm not sure we want the fastest animal in the game to be consistently winning against a brawler of the same size

vital dock
#

also it cant afford to use his ability on the battle or he ll have to fight till valhalla, he wont have enough stamina to escape if smth goes wrong

#

its just go all in everytime

crude girder
#

In Carno's defense, one charge is usually the only thing needed to end the fight right then and there, it puts Teno on a huge health deficit

lapis swallow
crude girder
#

Good chunk of damage on its own + a follow up attack against a target that is already at a significant health disadvantage puts Teno dangerously close to dying to a face tank

#

Carno is simply not given the tools to charge into a situation where it is outnumbered by animals that individually can fight it pretty well

but that means statistically it will always be at a higher number

so carno needs to win that 1vs1

This logic basically just sounds like "Teno can have a larger in game group, therefore it should NEED that larger group"

barren crater
wooden agate
#

there is such a fundemental lack of understanding in here right now

#

im going back to the discussion channel

crude girder
#

when it's actually "Teno can have a larger in game group because, as a general rule, herbivores get larger groups than carnivores, and no one really cares about the in game group limit anyway"

vital dock
barren crater
#

Idk man, I’d consider myself a Carno main and it’s not that hard to hunt tenos?

urban flax
crude girder
#

It's hard to hunt good Tenos, there are like 5 good tenos

barren crater
#

Even good tenos you can beat tbf. Not in a straight brawl though which makes sense

crude girder
#

Good Tenos are def killable, but a bad Teno is a walking lunchbox

vital dock
#

exp. tenos can fend off everything with ease

crude girder
#

My Troodon singlehandedly bringing an adult Teno to its knees:

crude girder
#

And that's mostly because right now, Teno doesn't have many animals that can catch up to it and obliterate it

#

Allo/Alberto meanwhile:

valid delta
crude girder
#

Not every carnivore will have the tools to kill every prey species, and Carno is not the tool to solve a Tenonto that knows what it's doing

#

Def can win, and groups are honestly easier to kill because friendly fire, but it's by no means a walk in the park

#

Compared to say, Pachy, or Omni, which are largely just "Bite it a few times, GGs"

barren crater
#

2 carnos will kill confirm even a good teno if they’re competent

normal lotus

#

Which at that point "Well what if I have 6 Tenos?!?!?"

valid delta

#

vs "What if I have 20 carnos in a megapack?!?!?"

barren crater
normal lotus
urban flax
crude girder
#

Generally I'd agree a good Teno can competantly defend themselves from a good Carno, but numbers help Carno way more than they help Teno

#

get a few Carnos together and you might even land a Charge lol

lapis swallow

#

Charge….

crude girder
urban flax
lapis swallow
barren crater
#

Ngl Carno is best played as a brawler rn. Tap ram is still potent.

urban flax
lapis swallow
crude girder
#

If Carno wanted a free kill on Teno, before this, it was still pretty reliant on the CC, now it's got to work a lot harder for it, which I'm mixed about

normal lotus
crude girder
#

Carno isn't even the strongest right now lmfao

#

But it's strong enough, I'd like to see a rework to ram that is a bit less overcentralizing, but overall carno is a potent animal in the right hands against the right prey

urban flax
barren crater
vital dock
#

yes carno ability needs rework, i agree more than any nerf or buff

barren crater
#

Idk man, I just wish it was competent without charge 😭

crude girder
#

I think it is, otherwise it wouldn't be able to survive atm lol

#

It's just that without charge it's a bit lackluster, and charge isn't doing it any favors atm

vital dock
#

exactly

barren crater
#

It’s an odd one

#

Do you balance around the average player or good players? Carno could quickly turn unfair depending on the latter

crude girder
#

Carno atm is either an unstoppable demon, or a joke depending on your individual competancy with the matchup

vital dock
#

i see more like joke carnos around than any other species xd

crude girder
#

Clearly you haven't been in a teno herd

#

IQ drops by 90% once you get 2+ Tenos together

vital dock
#

:")))

barren crater
#

I’ve seen a single Carno drop my teno herd down to like 2 because they kept following it

#

Funny to watch but yeah

crude girder
#

Honestly, Carno seems like it does better hunting herds of almost everything

barren crater
#

That’s the playerbase 😭

#

I get it though. Casual isle is fun

crude girder
#

Pachy is probably the one exception where fighting a group doesn't make you more likely to get some kills

#

more domes = more chances for "Basically a kill" legbreak

normal lotus
#

At least from what we've seen.

crude girder
#

Being real, Diablos are going to be so halariously bad in herds without actual coordination

#

another Diablo is in the perfect position to gore your exposed back or side if you're too close

barren crater

I hope it has mediocre healing so I can chip away at them as Carno while stalking them

normal lotus
vital dock
crude girder
#

It's funny, a solo player will, generally, play a lot better, because if they mess up, that's game. Grouped players will play a lot riskier because they can spread the damage across the whole group

#

so then you end up with people spamming attacks in the ranks without looking out for their teammates and the whole group takes like 3-4x more damage from each other than from you

normal lotus
#

Diablo seems to be really good if you are observant.

vital dock
crude girder
vital dock
#

diablo and ceratopsians will just need to do a coordinated circle formation

normal lotus
crude girder
#

It also only works in group play

vital dock
#

then 1 troodon gets in the middle of the circle at night and they ll start panicking

normal lotus
#

I more mean like in a 1v1 if you being observant. If you are a carno and a diablo sees you. And you're alone, there's a very slight chance you're gonna get it considering it can basically counter your strongest move.

barren crater
#

Ngl I don’t see Diablo being better than teno at defending itself? At least as it stands? I guess you’re better in 1 v 1s but teno can escape ceratos and never have to engage them? And also beat on them While also being able to decently fend off Carno

crude girder
#

I think Carnos are a non issue for Diablo, so long as it can keep its face pointed at them

barren crater
#

Diablo vs like 2 ceras is probs a gg ngl. Forced into a fight with the creature that can puke you and then lock you after that fact

#

Well not really a lock*

crude girder
#

Carno's low agility should make it easier to handle, but yeah, Ceratos, especially in groups, seem like a problem

normal lotus
crude girder
#

'course that depends on how well Diablo can capitalize off a single hit against a Cerato

barren crater
#

Teno also has the mobility advantage. Diablo is just there. Too early of course but just basing off what we have in game with teno

crude girder
#

I'd be willing to tank a vomit or two if it means putting down one Cerato, with the other one unable to get past my frill

Dilo should be more involved in hunts

vital dock

try to 1vs1 a cera as dilo, its impossible

yet both have similar growth

cera pack is far more dangerous in general, some of u just cant accept that there is a new threat that u have to be able to deal accordingly

i was able to fend off a full dilo pack with multiple envenomations at night as a cera

barren crater
vital dock
#

no, be able to respond and counter attack

#

and to locate the real dilo

barren crater
vital dock
#

yes

#

they normally should and can, but its manageble

#

u need to be able to seriously hurt them

#

before they all envenomate u

#

then they wont bother to risk it and the envenomation will pass

barren crater
#

What’s stopping them from envenomating you? You don’t have the damage to stop them as a cera. Especially at night since all they need is one good bite

vital dock
#

cera is very strong if u play your cards right

#

they have very bad bleed resistance

#

also they dont have good hp, 2 bites and they ll go off battle

barren crater
#

It’s not so bad that 1 or 2 bites will be the end of them

vital dock
#

2 body bites will do the trick

#

if 1 head bite will do wonders

barren crater
#

400hp left with 2 body bites which is still yellow health? Not that bad

vital dock
#

yes compare to the cera hp

#

he can tank way more hits

#

u just need to be able to win the trades as cera

barren crater
#

It doesn’t matter when you’re a pack. You have more collective hp and can trade and easily get hits in for free with numbers as a cera can’t look at all of you

vital dock
#

if u put a body down, he ll have even more resistance to deal with the dilos

barren crater
#

Especially with venom doing some of the work

#

It’s free damage.

vital dock
#

yes pack is hard, and dilos should win indeed

#

but i say its manageble

#

i have done it at the most difficult setting

tight iron
#

imma be honest

#

winning a 4v1 against dilos as a cera is practically impossible

#

you have to be insane against awful players

#

they can just walk up to you spam bite and goodbye

vital dock
#

its not, i have done it, they just went all of them to trade hits at the start because they thought they can facetank me

tight iron
#

you should've died there

#

dilos do quite a lot of damage

vital dock
#

yes but i charged bite

tight iron
#

4v1 tho...

#

not saying it never happened btw

i trust that it did happen

they cant all 4 bite me at the same time and they all came in for free bites

i know right, just scrolled through

#

god it looked so fun :(

worthy plover
#

Honestly i would think that it would kind of be a coin toss between who would win if two equally skilled players faced off as teno and carno. Same with cera. That's a good thing, adds some challenge that can be overcome without being too easy or impossible and makes it more satisfying when you finally win. I don't play teno or carno, but that's what i think it should be like between dinos in the same weight class.

limber hull
#

because teno is slower, it's on the defending side. Carno has the speed to both engage and disengage, teno does not. It NEEDS the combat advantage

worthy plover
#

That's a fair perspective

#

I could understand that

limber hull
#

Also, carno is designed to punch down a fair margin

worthy plover
#

what like mainly go after raptors and smaller midtiers like cera

limber hull
#

raptors, pachies, gallis, dilos are carno's best bets

worthy plover
#

ah, now i have a reason to say i suck at carno. I've been going after things that are too big. Yes cough cough

limber hull
#

dilo especially is an excellent choice, but sadly it's not on carno's (or anyone's) diet

catching a dilo out in plains at day is a bad sign for the dilo

@cinder haven it would only lower your fps if you have max graphic settings, you can still lower your settings and have the same fps

jovial hazel
#

It would definitely be good to have as an option, as long as no matter what it rendered before players. I think it just shouldn't be any kind of priority for now, maybe QOL option later on.

#

Maybe it's a simple thing and devs can easily do it where it wouldn't affect gameplay.

ruby sierra
#

I mean that didn't happen in spiro, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal to make it work in gateway too

jovial hazel

I feel like the amount of buildings and stuff has increased a lot with gateway. Why would they remove it randomly if it wasn't causing issues?

#

But I agree, would be nice to have as an option. I just think most people vote no on stuff that is pretty low priority and don't want to feel like it would be worked on before what they want. šŸ˜‚

@livid rover your suggestion is already in game. When I click on a server I can see my Dino and its hunger and thirst, as well as its growth.

Tbh I haven’t noticed any improvements since they added that. Swamp still lags really much when watching from above if the ā€œEffectsā€ setting is set to [High] or [Epic]. River Delta lags too in the same situation, so I think it’s more about water rendering or idk… Definitely not vegetation for now? If only they finally fixed ā€œFoliage Physicsā€, which doesn’t work with ā€œEffectsā€ set to [Medium] and below, then I could tell more. But still, vegetation movement is supposed to be visualised only within a 5 m radius around the player, so I don’t believe that this setting would lower my fps from 60 to 40 just by, as I said previously, looking at the Swamp from the highlands

I would definitely like to see some of these especially the geysers and tundra biomes
Dondi talked about making an even larger jungle area in one of his streams but I think it would be nicer to have some of these biomes instead of a hard to navigate jungle
If the devs dont do this then hopefully mod support can allow us to create our own maps in the future
Also im not saying I hate Gateway I just would like to see other types of biomes besides jungle

@worthy plover That's because herrera's jump distance has been reduced since the beta version. So you gotta aim higher to reach further.

Im not talking about long jumps, but really short jumps between branches. Plus when a branch splits into two paths you can't really choose which path you go and have to end up wasting stamina jumping anyway

Wish they would reduce the stam cost for jumping then considering herrara probably jumps the most in the game

sorry , i didnt know Optifine. I was thinking on some kind of zoom that would exist with some species and maybe have a x2 or x3 amplification depending on the dinosaur. For instance, a pteranodon should have a nice zoom , but a cerato probably have a little one or no zoom at all.

hi. I just played stego on server EU5. I was 50% growth and went to swamp to new migration. I played with my friend. I saw a group of 6 or 7 stegos and they decided to attack us and killed me. Is this kind of behavior ok on the server?

icy lion
unreal arrow
#

ok thx for the answer

stone river
#

@vital dock yes, the attacks are strong, but since a few patches they also cost an insane amount of stamina. Most Carnis who know this often bait and drain the stamina. Adding a DMG nerf to it would be too much

#

@vital dock Personally, I currently find Tenos to be very well balanced because of the strength but also the endurance costs.

vital dock
#

endurance costs? 50 kicks? do u even know what stamina costs carno's ability?

#

and even to keep the stamina and damage, i dont know WHY it needs 2 stuns, tail and kick

#

this is even more powerful, u can chain combos that can ruin everything for ONE wrong hitbox or desync

stone river
#

you can hit significantly less than 50 times with it. It only feels like 10 to 15 times, I haven't counted it exactly yet. But the fact is that I'm often almost out of stamina before I've even hit the bait

vital dock
#

teno just needs to stun one time and then chain the kicks to send u to selection screen

stone river
#

But maybe you just had different experiences. Personally, I find stegos and deinos, for example, to be far too strong and hardly counterable. But others will probably have a different opinion

vital dock
#

stego and deino take way way more hours to grow and are pseudo apexes if not pure apexes

#

teno is just a low tier

#

his power is way too high for his growth time as well

jovial hazel
#

Teno can definitely kick over 50 times now.. you might be thinking about before a few updates ago.

#

2% kick cost, 3% tailslam cost

stone river
#

As I said, in my opinion Tenos are not too strong, but rather well balanced. apparently others see it similarly

jovial hazel
#

It should definitely be tweaked some.

#

And I would say kick might do a little too much bleed. But rest seems fine.

#

I could even see a shorter stun on kicks to bigger targets.. maybe, depending on how the stam costs feel.

vital dock
vital dock
#

it just needs a nerf, he is good at everything

#

with 0, ZERO drawbacks

jovial hazel
#

That's just untrue. It's just very good at defending against overaggressive less-skilled players.

#

I honestly suggest trying some teno, it helps a lot to learn the best way to fight something by playing it.

vital dock
#

i have played lot of teno as well, thats why i say its very powerful!

#

2500 hrs in game

jovial hazel
#

Nice

vital dock
#

i just dont let my feelings of having a "main" or "favorite" that needs to be OP and everything else nerfed overcome my judgment

#

teno is good playable, its just way above everything else

#

and btw no, my favorite isnt even carno

#

i just use this name for fun

vagrant cave
#

if you kick a carno and the carno has its head behind you theres a chance the kick CAN stun you cause you hiting its head, i know from playing teno, and i dont think its to powerfull. ive been killed many times and killed others, and i agree with hasi, i see it too as balanced, the stam drain is allot on teno. its not op, try dilo and see what op with that venom, dilos against me as teno, well i find it hard to kill em if you find the right person who knows how to play it

vital dock
#

dilo vs teno at day is a joke

#

raptor is more dangerous

#

which again is a joke with his unreliable pounce

#

if a dilo or even 2 of them manage to envenomate a teno during day, they totally deserve to eat

vagrant cave
#

i having way more easyer time against raptor now i know that they will try drain your stam or bleed you, if you can stay calm and avoid that its not to hard to beat a raptor

#

ive also been raptor and i dont find the pounce buggy or so at all, just have to pounce them from the side, not hard to do

vital dock
#

dilo and raptor have the same playstyle against teno, raptor just has way better agility than dilo so its more dangerous, easier to bluff, easier to avoid teno attacks and easier to get in for a quick bite

#

pounce is unreliable most of times

#

wont work and send u to select another dino\

vagrant cave
#

well i use front claws allot as teno to beat raptors, sometime tail, cause they think i will use tail more xD, well i never had problem with the pounce, dunno why people have problems lol maybe ping, latency, server? i dunno, but i do not have that problem

vital dock
#

nevertheless, its being getting fixed as i have seen, so thats good news

stone river
#

Of course the Teno is currently strong, in my opinion it is also better than the Stego. But another point: If you want to fight as Herbi, you currently only have two options, Stego or Teno. Drya and Hypsi are victims, Pachy can't do much either. If Teno were to be nerfed now, then there would be almost nothing left that could defend itself effectively

vital dock
#

well i find this temporary "solution" the only reasonable answer as to why they have him be so strong my friend

#

but again this, needs to change as they release more herbies

#

i too think they made him fill more roles in the current species

vagrant cave
#

just wait and see when they add in more dinos and you will regret that xD

vital dock
#

because of absence of more powerful ones

#

it would be nice with diablo release to nerf teno finally and make him be in line with other playables at his tier

stone river
#

In comparison, almost every Carni performs much better, i.e. in terms of defensive ability. If Tenos were annoyed now, I would probably leave The Isle alone until I had more options other than running around with ultra slow, night-blind stegos

vagrant cave
#

dont think teno gona be nerfed tbh, many dont want it so i dont think thats gona happend

vital dock
#

yes its the reason why some players who are obsesed with herbies play

#

also the lack of herbie gameplay is another problem that needs to be adressed

vagrant cave
#

its the only main i like, thats the reason cause there are to few dinos to play atm

#

its also why people play teno

vital dock
#

carnivores arent stronger, are just more fun cause it feels more rewarding having to hunt than just go to a migration and eat and then sit like an ai there

#

thats the pure reason why people choose to play carnis more

stone river
#

Personally, I prefer to play Herbie because I don't want to be forced to kill players. Currently only Teno is fun because I rarely play in groups and he can win in 1v1. But I can hardly wait until Diablo, Trike, Maia, Para...until they're all released

vagrant cave
#

like i can give an example, i am in a server with nice people i played teno, and one admin that i like wanted to 1vs1 me with different dinos, that time i wasnt realy good at it, he tryed carno against me we tied like 5/6 times, like both where 4 to 6% near death, both fully adult

#

like i dont think its the dino but it is the player who plays the dino that is the issue, no offence.

#

that is also a good reason why i got better as teno cause i learn how to counter the carnivores

vital dock
stone river

The more dinosaurs there are, the harder it will be to balance, but I think it really depends on the respective players. Personally, for example, I'm very bad with Utah, but I know people who kill everything with it alone xD

vital dock
#

yeah ofc its on skill, raptor is one of my favorites, i managed to solo even carnos back at Spiro map

#

indeed having to balance all this stuff is extremly hard

#

with the current stamina i doubt it is possible anymore, which is fine by me

hasty fractal
#

I think that many herbivores are unnecessarily strong and that they should be forced to roam in packs in the game because it is very unreasonable for a herbivore to easily take 60-80% of a predator's health. If you want a real game you should support this view.

we are talking about herbivores and carnivores

#

and that zebra kick is pretty spot on to teno kick seems pretty legit to me

lunar bay
#

I WAS JOKING

#

my problem is with the tail

#

what it seems to me is that people want an extremely powerful dinosaur just to feel stronger

#

they don't want balance, they want a huge difference in power

bold mason
#

cera carno even herra all have a good chance to kill teno np, not to mention dilo

#

if ur talking about powerful dino and ur not the steggo????

lunar bay
#

Yes, stego is strong, but tenontos cause much more problems. Firstly because of its completely different speed, then because of the time to 100% which is faster...

#

Not to mention stamina...

#

I won't be followed by stegos, unlike tenonto players...

bold mason
#

just a point if view, if u play deino steggos follow u all the time

lunar bay
#

I never saw this

#

And, citing your example with the zebras, are they going to feed on the lions so they can attack? Or do they DEFEND themselves?

bold mason
#

i mean i doubt they eat it but im sure they will kill for some reason who knows forsure why

lapis swallow
#

It makes sense for tenos to fight back

lunar bay
#

An example: I (carno) had just gotten out of a fight with dilos. After I fed and left the area, 2 tenontos and 1 pachy came out of the bush where they were hiding (and I had seen them, I didn't engage in combat precisely because I was at a disadvantage) and chased me for a long time until they managed to kill me.

lapis swallow
lunar bay
#

I know this perfectly, THEREFORE I think it's plausible that it will be nerfed.

lapis swallow
#

if two tenos and a pachy cant take out a injured carno, game balance would be horrible

bold mason
#

ya why bc you got 3v1d every other teno has to suffer now and be nerfed? that makes no sense man

lunar bay
#

?? 'Cause there's no reason to do this

#

With that thought, make carnivores eat grass too

bold mason
#

the reason is what he said bc teno have human brain and its fun to kill they dont wanna just eat grass and die...

lapis swallow
#

you cant expect for herbies to not attack you until you decide to fight them

lunar bay
#

And there is definitely the point: "its fun to kill"

bold mason
#

also herbies kill all the time in real life just bc something was in their area

lunar bay
#

You assume it's fun to have fun with others being unhappy.

Is it me or is The Isle aiming for a re-launch of sort ? I feel stupid I never noticed before but if we think on it, they recently started changing icons and I think they also very recently changed more images on steam. Evrima is their testing branch and until now I just completely forgot about that fact, I had reached a point where Evrima was The Isle because it's (In my opinion) a lot better than Legacy but I feel like we lost track of how things really are.

Considering the changes in icons and images, new mechanics, new dinos and sooner than later mutations, reworked light system and let's not forget Humans.
Mutations and humans will especially change the tide of the game so this is why I had a struck of 'Enlightenment', is this the Devs process for a proper re-launch on U5 ? Unless I'm wrong, I think I recall Dondi saying that The Isle's launch didn't meet his personal standards as a developer and well owner of the game.

Am I just insane ?

icy lion
#

Evrima will eventually become the base game and replace legacy, so I guess so yea

brave trout
# icy lion Evrima will eventually become the base game and replace legacy, so I guess so ye...

It would be nice, I feel like The Isle deserves this kind of re-launch and by all means anyone can feel free to disagree but The Isle did give birth to this genre of game and Dondi saw its potential and the community it had and the rest it attracted into and decided to go with it. After all the new features are added I really think and feel this game will deserve this "Re-launch", actually I think the whole process will likely be seamless or gradient. What I mean by that is that when Humans will drop in, the human gameplay will attract another community which will likely be people who play your typical survival game (Ark, Rust, Conan and so on..) who prefer playing humans and never really were interested in playing dinosaurs because preferences.

Nah it shouldnt

it absolutley should

teno can't outrun carno, so it must be able to outfight it

the issue is less "teno is OP" and more "carno is terribly designed for the stam system due to its charge melting your entire stamina bar"

Ram is pretty good tbh

That makes it easy? Idk man, I love the struggle when hunting teno. If you want to hunt something with 0 resistance go hunt a galli or something

You need to know how to use it

barren crater

Some creatures aren't meant to be easy to hunt

It fun hunting tenos its just that the kick is actually kinda OP damage wise

it isnt

cerato charge bite and carno ram both do far more damage

I wouldn't say far too much damage, but its 275n vs ceratos 345n for example

Bro i never played teno before and when i started playing it it was sooo easy to kill everhthing

Carnos are a piece of cake

I dont die to tenos lol

#

Im just saying that their kick is OP

limber hull
#

it really isn't

#

it's a super tiny hitbox that requires you to get right next to them

reef jasper

3kick and you will bleed out as carno if continue to fight

cyan flame
#

Could maybe do with a tiny stam increase on the cost of the attacks, but aside from that, teno has always been quite well balanced

#

Thats not OP?

cyan flame
#

Carno could use some work on the charge because well, small game hunter with "must run for miles to knock small game down" is a bit weird

barren crater

teno is designed to be out of carno's punching range

They're just 200 kg lighter, it's not "small game" for a carno, but having a partner should tip things in your favour pretty easily

The charge is such a mess atm

Also Carno is more than capable of hunting teno solo. It needs love tho

I get hit in my tail and get stunlocked for 4second

#

Because of the kick?

#

It shouldnt be able to stunlock me on my tail

barren crater

That's latency.

cyan flame
#

That's an issue with latency or lag or similar

#

Not an issue with teno, and not an issue with damage/bleed

barren crater
#

Teno's kick can not stun on the tail.

reef jasper
#

Nah i live in belgium with good ping bro

reef jasper

Your ping doesn't matter in this game (well in this example). You can have low ping but as long as someone has high ping you'll get hit

#

Bro the server is close to me. Its not me

barren crater
#

If they hit you on their screen, it registers as a hit. Even if they have 500 ping

#

Yeah it's not an issue with you, its an issue with the other player

Gotcha. Anyways even if that was the case, it's not intended, so report it.

reef jasper
barren crater
#

I get the dislike about Tenos stun and damage, however its unironically one of the only ways to stop a Carno from just tanking you out.

#

Maybe if the game had other forms of CC it would be a bit bearable though

reef jasper
#

I understand teno needs a defense but having 2 attacks that can stunlock you is just kinda OP the right hands..

barren crater
#

Knockbacks maybe even a disarm. CC stuff like that

reef jasper
#

Everything is deadly in the right hands but teno, imo, is just a beast

barren crater
#

I agree. Its very great defensively if played well. At the very least it can't kill you in one cycle as a Carno and you can outrun them easily

#

So while it may not be fun to play against, it is avoidable. I do hope we get a CC rework though.

Even bears are scared of moose. a horse literally smacked anouther horse right in the head. 1 hit. and the other horse died. herbivores irl arent weak walking dinner plates so why do you want herbivores in game to be weak? herbivores are not OP in the game and generally a lone teno has already a high chance of dying. because lets be real, carnivores pack aswell, over pack a lot of the times. anyways all carnivores are able to kill stuff and defend themselves but herbis only have pachy/teno and stego. 3 thats it. theres literally only 3 herbivores that can defend themselves in some way and yall want to nerf more herbivores cuz yall failed to hunt a teno.

Yo guys I have a problem that when I get damage and start running from sed dino and then fall of a one feet cliff my dinos life subscription expires is that commen. Bc it happens to me every other dino fight or so

@wraith folio I imagine mixpackers could possibly get a debuff on their max life or attack damage

9 reasons why stress debuffs are bad (Bubulblu's mixpacking List) :

  1. Griefers can and will continue griefing even with debuffs, unless they lead to death, which would pose a much bigger problem.
  2. Depending on the range and timing of debuffs occuring, players can abuse them by regularly getting away from each other and continue griefing.
  3. It ruins prolonged fights. Some fights in the game can last for 30+ minutes, but the game cannot tell the difference between a fight where no one hits each other for some time and mixpacking.
  4. Mixpacking isn't necessarily an issue. There is nothing wrong with a group of small dinos hanging around a larger one who they know cannot catch them.
  5. Temporary alliances can be fine. Two groups of predators can hunt the same prey and decide to help each other until said prey is dead, or two prey animals could stand side-by-side to defeat a powerful predator, without being necessarily griefers. The point of the game is to maximize your chances of survival.
  6. It promotes deathmatch gameplay instead of survival, by forcing players to either run away or kill anything that isn't their own species.
  7. A fast dino can purposefully debuff a slower one by following it and causing debuffs. Again, griefers don't care if they're being debuffed.
  8. It ruins hiding. In a jungle or near water, two players can be very close to each other without being aware of each other's presence. Debuffs occuring would give them away to each other.
  9. Stress implies forcing psychological reactions on a player, which is a bad thing to do in a horror game. A dino has no reason to be stressed or afraid if the player controlling it isn't. The game should try to scare off the player themselves, not their character.

I'm with you on a lot of your points but I think it would still be a good thing you can somehow have an advantage on griefers, maybe the debuff could only apply on the players joining the group?
On another point, I was mainly talking about herbi/carni mixpacking, as in my opinion it's rather a good thing realism-wise to have herbis mixpacking.

#

I also think that it should depend on the weight ratio

urban flax
#

wdym players joining the group

#

You can't group with players of other species

summer forge
#

not literally but when a different specie tag along

urban flax
#

As for herbi/herbi and carni/herbi...
A pachy running with a stego to fracture things for the stego to kill is fine, but a ptera and a dryo hanging around isn't ?

summer forge
#

no because as I said, it could depend on the weight ratio

urban flax
#

The best mixpacking debuff there can be is already in the game

For the people complaining about some herbies to be "op", remember that a lot of herbivores are really dangerous. It wouldn't be fair if it was easy to hunt them

#general-feedback message
I like the idea but I think a more simplified version would work better
instead of a slider for how much venom it could just be how long your latched
would definitely be interesting to play with a venom pool

#

but then theres the balancing issue

#

you cant have 4 troodons jump straight onto a full size stego and pump all their venom into it killing it instantly

urban flax
#

I like the fact venom rewards coordination right now, that feedback sounds like it makes troodon into more of a solo hunter

#

Or into a "everyone pounce at the same time and oneshot a rex" playable

rough wind
#

yeah thats my concern also

barren zephyr
tight iron
#

thing is i ran out of characters

#

so i couldn't add more ideas such as needing like 15 troodons to kill a stego (impossible)

urban flax
#

But then you reduce troodon's punch-up potential

tight iron
#

to be honest troodon is only a troller right now due to how venom works

urban flax
#

Which is its main interest

tight iron
#

it has no purpose other than to troll people

#

so making troodon be an actually venomous thing would swap that as you can't troll adult carnos anymore and just be a massive nuisance but also not be useless

urban flax
#

Troodon was strong, until another creature that does the same thing but better was added

barren zephyr
#

yeah dilo overshadowed troo alot

tight iron
#

troodon is still somewhat strong

#

i demolished a 60% dilo yesterday with 4 pounces

barren zephyr
#

those dilos don't know what their doing probably

tight iron
#

they weren't bad

#

they tried to bait me and stuff but since i only play raptor and troodon...

#

i know how to bait stuff to then pounce

#

not tryna make myself the lord of troodon rn btw

#

just giving them credit for not sucking

barren zephyr
#

did they land any bites?

tight iron
#

yeah they did

#

i just believe that a troodon shouldn't be able to kill very big stuff

#

like a stego should NOT die to a troodon

barren zephyr
#

if their in a pack why not? I mean that was what it was intended for

tight iron
#

dilo is here as a stego population control

#

troodon primarily feeds on juvies

#

pounce them 3 times and let them die

#

and also troodon right now is just a nuisance

barren zephyr
#

Because ever since dilo got released troodon players are starting to become increasingly extinct

tight iron
#

it's cool as hell but its only purpose is to annoy others

urban flax
#

Anyway, I don't think making troodon a solo creature is the way to go

tight iron
#

so buffing its venom to be able to 1 shot its literal prey but punish trolling wouldn't make it a troller anymore

tight iron
#

i never said it should be one

urban flax
#

I agree with limited venom, but keep it a pack hunting tool instead of being just a burst of damage

tight iron
#

actually my suggestion rewards packs

barren zephyr
tight iron
#

since with 4 full venom pounces you'd be able to take down a for example 70% raptor

urban flax
tight iron
#

no it only allows you to one shot juvies

#

only juvies

urban flax
tight iron
urban flax
tight iron
#

(4 100% troodons)

barren zephyr
#

are they all pumping full venom?

tight iron
urban flax
#

So it's still as useless as before, but without the pack aspect ?

tight iron
urban flax
#

And without punch-up either

urban flax
tight iron
#

i see i see

#

okay give me like 2 minutes to explain it in a different manner

#

since it probably was unclear, i ran out of characters

barren zephyr
# tight iron yes

Wait so whats the punishment because if 4 100% troodons are pumping full venom say to a stego player, how would it be fair for the stego player to counter?

rain hemlock
#

wait why does logging out and back in fix vomit sickness?

tight iron
rain hemlock
#

thats so random

tight iron
#

if you don't have venom you're dead

#

so if you begin trolling others you're gonna pay with your life

urban flax
#

How does having venom helps troodon to defend itself ?

#

Since it won't oneshot anything but juvies and it lacks any other form of damage

tight iron
#

by the way i did state that spending half your venom should one shot juvies

#

not all of them

#

if an adult raptor for example goes after you, just run, you have nothing to do against that

#

but if a teen carno attacks you, you can just maul it

#

say, you don't have venom reserved since you were annoying a stego

urban flax
#

Wait so venom would deal additional damage against juvies ?

tight iron
#

you can't defend yourself from the teen carno

tight iron
#

however in return for that, having limited venom

urban flax
tight iron
barren zephyr
#

Also another question, I think it would be a tad tedious to have to type out how much venom I'd like to release mid-combat but that might just be me.

tight iron
#

a teen carno is smaller than a fg raptor

urban flax
#

what's a teen carno

tight iron
tight iron
#

like a keybind that lets you put more or less

barren zephyr
#

would make it better mhm

tight iron
#

or just put how much you want to use while pouncing

#

pounce and then type for example 80%

#

and then the animation and the envenomation plays

#

i also wanted to add that if you get envenomated and it affects you seriously you begin to lose vision, just like when you're safelogging

#

for example, if you're a juvie and a fg troodon came up to you and injected you with its venom, you would begin to have the same effects you have while logging off until, well, you inevitably die

#

but if you're a fg stego you literally get nothing

barren zephyr
#

Yeah but thats flawed because judging 4 troos envenomating a fg stego with full venom, id guess that stegos vision would go out quick

urban flax
#

That honestly doesn't sound very fun, be it for the troodon or for its prey

tight iron
urban flax
#

Again, what's interesting with troodon is its heavy focus on pack tactics and coordination
Removing that just removes its uniqueness as a playable

tight iron
#

as i said it should take 15-20 fg troodons all injecting all their venom into an adult stego to kill it

tight iron
#

the pack tactics are cool as hell imo

urban flax
tight iron
#

i don't see how it would make it less unique, in my opinion having it work like actual venom makes it truly unique

barren zephyr
urban flax
icy lion
barren zephyr
#

oh yikes

tight iron
#

basically imagine the troodon suggestion as making it something that can't take on more heavy stuff unless it's many troodons

#

right now you can play it solo and target juvies

urban flax
tight iron
#

it's literally what troodon is right now

urban flax
tight iron
#

something that can't take on more heavy tuff unless it's many troodons

barren zephyr
urban flax
#

You can take on big dinos as a solo troodon
But it becomes drastically easier with a pack

#

Because that's what troodon is for

tight iron
#

this thing quite literally makes you have a pack

#

so it doesn't incentivize solo playing at all

tight iron
#

you can kill a juvie with 2-3 pounces

barren zephyr
#

yeah but venom being so powerful u could just live off juvies

tight iron
#

you can do that right now as well

#

i survive hours as a troodon only by killing juvies

barren zephyr
#

but your version said prey has about 2 minutes

#

current juvies stil stand a chance with escape

tight iron
#

no they don't

#

you're faster and 100 times stronger

#

my idea incentivizes pack playing

#

as you can't take on bigger stuff without a pack

barren zephyr
tight iron
limber hull
#

why would it need such a limitation

tight iron
#

to not make it a troller

limber hull
#

it isnt a troller

tight iron
#

yes it is

limber hull
#

wtf even is a "troller"

tight iron
#

a big venom buff but without having infinite venom

tight iron
limber hull
#

thats not troodon

tight iron
#

yes it is

limber hull
#

saying it's a troller doesn't automatically make it true

tight iron
#

saying it's not doesn't make it true either

limber hull
#

i've played troodon perfectly fine as a hunter

tight iron
#

same thing here

limber hull
#

so it's not a troll

barren zephyr
#

I'd argue isn't much of troller it can be a decent threat if played correctly

tight iron
#

however right now you just envenomate big carnos till you die

limber hull
#

no you don't?

tight iron
#

as u can see this juvie stood a chance at escaping

limber hull
#

if you choose to fight adult carnos for some reason, that's on you

tight iron
#

bruh it's being processed

#

anyways this suggestion rewards pack playing by getting more and better food

#

and it also makes it more "cool" imo

barren zephyr
#

eh its agree to disagree

tight iron
barren zephyr
tight iron
#

it's not its purpose but it's what practically all troodons do

urban flax
tight iron
#

yep, however with troodon you can literally wipe out an entire juvie ecosystem by yourself since you have infinite venom

#

if you have a much more powerful but limited venom, you can't do that

urban flax
#

Current venom isn't very useful against juvies

tight iron
#

it 3 taps them

urban flax
#

If it's a 3 tap it means the venom had nothing to do with it
Because it only starts doing substantial damage after the 4th pounce

tight iron
#

no, juvies just have no health

barren zephyr
#

Yet your troo can kill them with one injection of venom?

tight iron
#

so even the first injection does substantial damage

tight iron
urban flax
#

It's the pounce's raw damage
Not the venom

tight iron
#

raw damage does practically nothing to juvies

urban flax
#

Do you know how current troodon's venom work ?

tight iron
#

yes
