More like only catch fish and only thing it could hunt is crocs i guess

maybe they should both be dropped together ngl

I know deinosuchus and especially deinosuchus players are in a weird position and doesn't seems to be pretty loved by the devs, but i don't think deino should be hated or downscaled as it is going to be.
Deinosuchus irl had a biteforce that was stronger than Tyrannosaurus Rex, was probably a bit larger than it is currently in evrima. Plus its an animal that is location locked around water spots, it should be on the same tier as spino or only a bit under it but not dominated by spino as devs stated. And i say that as a Rex enjoyer.

I could be wrong, but most likely the Rexes will be popular for the first few months, then everything will come back to balance. There won't be enough food for all the Rex, most players will simply die of hunger.

I was once a fg deino at the NE lake, had a Cera run into the lake right in front of me, then comence to outswim me to the complete opposite side of the lake, leaving me for dust with its sprint swim. Lol Hackers do be frustrating.

@tired kayak #general-feedback message I think the bleed resistance mutation is fine since it's purely defensive that doesn't give an unfair advantage like the damage resistance mutation since that actually affects all combat

#general-feedback message @acoustic pebble we really don’t need to turn the single most unique carnivore mid tier we have into just another generic medium to large sized carnivore to hunt the big herbis

#

If carno was strong back then was only because it was the only one in any position to take on tenos and stegos reliably

#

But it was always meant to be a small game hunter, not slightly smaller alberto with horns

#

And also, golden rule: we do not care about what was it like in the Mesozoic. It’s The Isle, not real life, and it has a certain direction and intended unique role for all playables

#

I played dryo

#

And it feels kinda eh

#

I think it missing something

normal shuttle
#

Cuz it exists in a world where everyone else save for hypsi has something unique

bleak kestrel
#

Also i dont know what the boost gives.

normal shuttle
#

It’s a literal legacy dinosaur with extra steps rn

#

And it’s getting burrowing soon

normal shuttle
bleak kestrel
#

What it does ? Like make you faster for small amount of time?

normal shuttle
#

What boost? You mean the bars?

bleak kestrel
#

Yeah

normal shuttle
#

Those are the dodge charges

bleak kestrel
#

Would be nice if anything behind it when it uses boost would be kicked in a face

normal shuttle
#

When you rmb the dryo dashes forward at running speed in the direction your camera is facing instantly and lets you start running after finishing

bleak kestrel
#

And basicaly dryo when it uses boost should be immune to pounce

normal shuttle
#

Iframes on dryo would be hilarious

bleak kestrel
normal shuttle
#

Sorta

bleak kestrel
#

No bonus speed?

normal shuttle
#

Instant juke that you can while running to immediately and unpredictably change your direction

#

No bonuses whatsoever

bleak kestrel
#

I think the dodge thingy should kick something that id behind you and if its 2x your size it should be able to stun it

#

Or make it slow down

#

Just for like very short time

bleak kestrel
#

Ngl i wonder what of instead of stego we got kentro and instead of deino we got kapro for example

#

I think the game would feel better to play ngl

normal shuttle
#

Disagree with kapro

#

That thing would have like no reach into the ecosystem

normal shuttle
#

They’re gonna add a new UI to say stuff like that soon actually

bleak kestrel
#

Land croc would be nice

#

With like 200-300 kg

#

And very fast underwater and pretty agile for a croc on land

#

But i think it should be bit diffrent in terms of hunting than deino.

Cause grab and drown wont cut it

#

So what if grab and deathroll?

normal shuttle
#

At that point just add bary

bleak kestrel
#

Basicaly any one shot abillity that could be used even something twice its weight.

The bigger the target more difficult to do.

If dino can spin with you for time it will and have enough stam it will be able to surivive

normal shuttle
#

And dunno if we really need a land croc that badly. The only really unique thing about it is a quadruped carnivore

bleak kestrel
#

Deino obvisouly cant have that as attack cuz too fat

#

But kapro could do that

bronze niche
bleak kestrel
normal shuttle
#

Carnos and ceras would have kapro for breakfast

bleak kestrel
normal shuttle
#

A 200-300kg croc that by design wouldn’t really perform excellently in neither water nor land

bleak kestrel
#

Like it could have defense thing for big things that would threaten him

normal shuttle
#

And against +1 ton theropods

normal shuttle
bleak kestrel
normal shuttle
#

It’s just beipi on steroids but beipi can afford to be fast in the water because it is 90kg only

bleak kestrel
#

And if we gave kapro ambush it would be able to threaten beipi

#

Its really up to your creativity what you can do with kaprosuchus

#

It doesnt have certain limits like deino

normal shuttle
#

deino isn't

bleak kestrel
#

I would understand if you mean 300kg deino cause that makes sense

#

But 9 ton fatty wont out swim or shouldnt out swim a kapro

#

And probably would be quite more agile due to his limbs in water maybe cause they could help him speed up touching bottom if the river/lake

#

But okey you just dont like idea of kapro i mean fine but like i dont get why its would be nice addition to the roaster

#

Like i hate that its all about dinosaurus like give me something else.

#

Megalania and deino sure but would be nice if there was more

#

Like nothosaurus would be interesting for example

#

Or fasolasuchus

#

Snakes maybe not cuz well we know whats the issue with that unless mostly aquatic so it would depend on water a lot and be pretty fast underwater

@icy lion

#

I have question

icy lion
#

What is it?

bleak kestrel
#

What playable would you want ingame?

icy lion
#

Prestosuchus

unreal ridge
#

not really my first pick tbh

#

if i could push for anything

#

it would an aquatic rework and dakosaurus

#

that or some type of small mosasaur

#

might be easier just to get mosasaurus
if not, thalassotitan

bleak kestrel
bleak kestrel
#

Bud how much would it weight?

unreal ridge
#

2 tons

#

its a fully aquatic crocodile, its like a small coastal stalker

#

catch things like proto, velo, beipi, austro and any baby that crosses to get to like sanctuary or something

wooden agate
#

sorry i just started reading it but that specifically stuck out to me a bit

unreal ridge
#

hold on lemme read this

normal lotus
#

I just kinda meant at fully grown

unreal ridge
#

jesus that is an overscaled megalania

unreal ridge
#

the damage multiplier thing is just stealing from troodon

normal lotus
wooden agate
#

i DO like the idea of megalania being able to stun absurdly large creatures with a tail whip to the face

unreal ridge
#

i mean yeah, I mostly found the idea from megalania's concept art as it being an all terrain tracker

wooden agate
#

id also remove murder sprint, nerf its run time, and buff its run speed to around 39-40kph

with insane stamina regen

bleak kestrel
normal lotus
bleak kestrel
#

I know megalania to use his arms and jaws with brute force

wooden agate
# bleak kestrel It doesnt make sense for me

monitor tails are extremely deadly and used for fending off large animals in the real world, and being smacked in the face with a whip would be pretty painful and take the animal back a bit

unreal ridge
wooden agate
#

unfortunately it is real however

unreal ridge
#

komodo dragons cant really breathe and go full sprint at the same time lmao

bleak kestrel
normal lotus
unreal ridge

so like if you just outrun him for a while, his asthma will kick in

yeah the venom is an anticoagulant

as well as helping them track prey

bleak kestrel

unreal ridge
wooden agate
#

i refuse

unreal ridge
#

yeah theres a video of a komodo dragon smacking a pig in the face with its tail

wooden agate
#

also, we're able to take a lot of creative liberties with megalania either way. having it be an amalgamation of monitor lizards just seems like the best way to go for a varied animal that can survive most situations it puts itself in

normal lotus
wooden agate
#

you run at a megalania's back side? you have now been hit in the face with a massive tail and get stunned for a second or two, allowing the megalania to run into cover and/or sprint away (if it has its murder sprint)

normal lotus
bleak kestrel
#

Damn i thought komodos tails are shorter

#

Yeah nvm make megalania use its tail that thing is like a whip

unreal ridge
#

wdym shorter lol its a lizard

normal lotus
#

Literally the length of the torso.

unreal ridge
#

just saw the quetz concept art and lowkey miss the monorail on gateway

#

remember that on gateway release?

normal lotus
#

@wooden agate oh also remember the minimal fracture damage megalania deals with its tail whip

#

So if something keeps pestering it, it could maybe even give them a fracture

wooden agate
bleak kestrel
wooden agate
#

a low level head fracture that progressively gets worse if you get tail whipped more would be ideal

bleak kestrel
wooden agate
#

the transition set them so far back, its kind of crazy.

unreal ridge
#

@wooden agate one thing I ran out of room for on my suggestion
i would personally like to see lifetime stats as well
this is a survival game after all and the ability to see your current stats and stats after you die I think would round this together

#

kilometers/miles walked, animals killed, pounds of food eaten, gallons of water drank, paired partners, children, nests made, etc

bleak kestrel
#

Ngl if they add dakosaurus it should be 1 ton

#

I would want it to be able to just jump out if the water and be able to grab/drag something 50% of its weight

latent olive
#

@manic oak hell naw

#

that would simply incentivise megapacks

#

there are talks of devs giving community server owners the ability to adjust group limits though

bleak kestrel
#

But i think dakosaurus could also have diffrent mechanic where jumping oit of the water will basicaly ragdoll something that would be his wieght and dako could be able to damage them with attack and if killed it could drag them to water.

#

It would have special abillity that would let it have small burst of speed on land so it will get bit faster to water

latent olive
#

wait how did I miss a megalania discussion earlier goddamn

bleak kestrel
#

Ngl imagine megalania just swallowing something alive

#

Like random dryo 💀

#

It would be kinda cool for it to be able to grab something and just eat alive if small enough

#

I have a silly idea

#

What if megalania would try to eat minmi alive it would vomit it out

#

Imagine how stupid it would be

faint folio
#

Otherwise it's incredibly unfair to other players. Even deino works by reducing health (via oxygen) to 0

bleak kestrel
#

Like anything that size could just run away

#

Random herrera trying to jump on megalania but gets eaten alive would be funny

#

Also i think megalania should have two stages of its life

#

One where its very agile and fast and other one where its more slugish but its very powerful in terms of brute force and anything that can catch up to it wouldnt be able to kill it (alone at least)

heady geode
#

@manic oak you shouldn’t put two suggestions in one, 100%, rain is too loud, 0% if you’re running 10 ceras you’re dog, and if everyone in the group past 4 had a name tag there wouldn’t be any confusion leading to FF when you go around and canni every other cera, it’s the only defence against mega packs right now

#

Troodon is so close to being a great playable but the Desync is what kills it 80% of the time man, I have lost track to how many Troodons I lose to a Carno charge or Cerato bite when I am latched onto to them

indigo gulch
#

Yeah…..

woeful latch
#

i don’t mind how weak troodon is, just let me play the game and have fun..

radiant isle
#

It's beyond infuriating...

woeful latch
#

desync helps troodon too, but when it doesn’t it’s just insta death lol

indigo gulch
#

It usually just kills you

radiant isle
#

That's the biggest issue because the margin for error is razor thin. It's horrible when it's not even you're fault

indigo gulch
#

It hinders you more than it helps

woeful latch
#

the day they will fix the desync i will actually cry

#

even with network issues ironed out i think troo needs some help when it comes to fighting FG. Stamina is an issue

Insane stam efficiency with the recent patches

weak ermine
#

oh yeah thats right, i have not tried HT.

limber hull
#

2.5% pounce cost and MASSIVELY less drain for staying latched

#

like its stam efficiency while hunting has been more than doubled its insanely good

weak ermine
#

before a maia, for example could just run away, the troo didnt have enough stam to pounce and chase.

Nothing spawns except boars

i can see how some people would absolutely starve though

my first troodon went like this

found a crab, then found a taco, which was carrying a chicken, next to a sanctuary full of gastroliths

needless to say i got a full diet and grew super quick

went to the beach

Wack. I never get why AI spawns so odd

along with goat and tacos

@tame jetty well maia is a massive animal

#

Trike is fine

#

It wasn't very tall but it was quite bulky and heavy

#

Trike's size is fine

limber hull
#

Like they do surprisingly low damage given their niche and size

#

Both dibble and trike have remarkably underwhelming strikes for their size

ancient kestrel
limber hull
#

ehhh i dont think that makes up for it tho

ancient kestrel
#

More of a tanks than a damage dealers

limber hull
#

their flanks are exposed, they have horrible turnrates and i can only imagine the absolute nightmare of having to deal with 2 allos as a dibble

#

in fact, that should be their primary weakness. all ceratopsians have little to no way to defend their flanks. They can only focus on one opponent at a time

waxen raven
#

Idk about diablo but trike should be able to easily kill a stego and not put so much effort in one fight the stego can just stand still and spam it's ridiculously fast tail attack and in 5-6 swings you're already on red HP just under 30 seconds, not mention stego is faster and can outrun trikes

limber hull
#

Nah, def applicable to diablo too

#

Also remember trike doesn't have sparring yet so it's already at a mechanical disadvantage

waxen raven
ancient kestrel
waxen raven
#

Also tanks?? Have you seen how much damage stego's tail swings deal it's insane

limber hull
#

trike needs sparring and blocking

ancient kestrel
#

Stego will do more damage than trike regardless but trike definitely needs damage buff

waxen raven
ancient kestrel
limber hull
#

i mean, yes to this degree if it's going to face a 9.35 ton rex. i do agree trike needs more love, but stego is not at fault. give trike sparring and we'll see how it performs, because sparring attacks tend to do more damage, and the ability to avoid a stego hitting your flanks would massively benefit trike

waxen raven
#

Sure sparring might fix some issues but goddamn 2 horns entering your belly barely does any damage

ancient kestrel
#

Trike have stomp and can knock stego with certain attacks tho

limber hull
#

trike's stomp is to combo into its knockdown iirc

ancient kestrel
#

Damn. I thought they fixed that but in-edible AI is still happening on HT TI_Succ

#

Thats just annoying

#

Whatever happens I never find alive frogs, rabbits, chickens on HT - they always dead and bugged

How

#

Like

#

1v1 trike rolls stego

#

You can do nearly 2k damage to one with the knockdown and goring attack to the head

#

And you can just stunlock it

#

Only problem is when there’s two of them

waxen raven
#

Stun locking is hard to do as it's a bit bugged

#

And stegos mostly win fights against trikes

normal shuttle
#

Nah

#

You tripping

waxen raven
#

You haven't seen all the vids

normal shuttle
#

I don’t care about the vids. I roll stegos as a trike

#

And it’s hilarious with the knockdown to adult specimens

waxen raven
#

Most of them are stegos hunting down trike's and trike's loosing to stegos

normal shuttle
#

If the trike is clueless that’s their problem

#

Or if there’s 2 stegs

waxen raven
#

Stegos should not feel confident and approach a trike it's ridiculous

normal shuttle
#

One on one is perfectly doable regardless

waxen raven
normal shuttle
#

Good

#

I don’t think trike should catch up to a stego because then we would have pre nerf trike trotting them down

#

And honestly two stegos feeling confident about a single trike feels fine

#

Plus trike is missing sparring. It will probably just 100% sure roll stegos once it is implemented

#

Since you are no longer forever stuck in powerswing range when attacking

#

You can immediately walk backwards and charge again for a knockdown

waxen raven
#

I didn't mean in a sense when a trike is trying to hunt down a stego I meant during a fight, you're not agile or fast enough

waxen raven
normal shuttle
#

Because trike is missing a main movement mechanic and its stats aren’t final. And even then you can still do something about it to turn around and get them

normal shuttle
waxen raven
#

You never said that true but it makes sense

normal shuttle
#

Nope

#

Trike could probably still do something about it

#

With its passive 75% damage reduction

waxen raven
waxen raven
normal shuttle
#

You can two shot ceras. Is it really that bad especially accounting for defense?

waxen raven
#

Ceras can run away from stegos

#

Trike has no chance

normal shuttle
#

Wouldn’t mind trike getting a little more damage, but in a vacuum its stats look rather fine like those of dibble

#

We gotta wait for the sparring to see how it is tho

#

Hopefully it will fix the horrid movement it has now that feels worse than biped maia

#

It’s not free to spam lmao

#

And trike’s goring attack for example deals 750 damage on knocked targets. If you keep your health above orange (not hard especially when you can cc opponents), that’s literally a quarter of the stego’s health if you hit the head if the knockdown was anything close to frontal

waxen raven

Because the stego can be mildly skilled, yeah

Once it gets sparring

#

Stego is done unless you somehow fumble

I know how it will be its obvious.

You realize puporse of HT.

It will get a lot of changes you basicaly complaining about dino that wasnt offcially added that why its in testing

waxen raven
#

You can't possibly have an idea how it's gonna be like there's a lot of stuff you have to take in account for

limber hull
#

sparring also comes with its own unique attacks and abilities

#

so in reality, trike is missing almost half its kit

#

of course a more finished animal like stego can easily find vulnerabilities

bleak kestrel
#

How it was when it wad offiically added?

waxen raven
#

Dibble is different it has a smaller hitbox and it's faster

bleak kestrel
waxen raven
#

Just because it's the same mechanic doesn't mean it's the same species

#

Or can can be able to do stuff that diablo can

bleak kestrel
#

It will be fun just wait until its added actually

ancient kestrel
waxen raven
#

Immersion doesn't mean ignoring basic logic

#

Realism still plays a role

ancient kestrel
#

realism ain't do any favour for gameplay

#

In fact it useless and even harmfull for gameplay and balance in certain situations

#

What we need in gameplay is healthy complexity and enjoyable experience

waxen raven
#

That's exactly what the isle is not approaching, look at cera vs stego

#

If a stego's tail to the head can one shot a cera then why can't a trike severely wound a stego with the horns to the belly

frank tapir
cyan flame
waxen raven
#

And the isle is approaching a more realistic approach based on other playables

waxen raven
#

Is it not?

cyan flame
#

I wouldnt neccesarily say stego oneshotting cera is only due to realism

waxen raven
#

I'm not talking about realism through how the dinosaurs are supposed to look like physically but simple logic in fighting scenarios

limber hull
#

it is not realistic. it is immersive

#

it's done a pretty damn good at tricking you into thinking it's realistic tho, which is testament to its immersion

cyan flame
#

And I'm not sure that x oneshotting y is neccesarily realism, deino would otherwise just crush stego head, and cera might get one shot purely due to stego having glass cannon damage, while cera is rather small

waxen raven
limber hull
#

the isle's combat is not particularly realistic either, but it's exceptionally clever in how it approaches its visuals and audio, as well as uniquely providing fitting niches to each animal to provide an exceptionally immersive experience

the isle runs on the idea of immersing you. a stego tail doing very little damage would break that immersion, because you want to FEEL the impact of that stego's thagomizers colliding with the target, and the Isle does that in strides

#

that's not to say immersion/realism is bad, merely that The Isle has NEVER been realistic with its approach, and chooses to trick you into a "pseudo-realism" which it presents in an extremely believable way

waxen raven
frank tapir
#

I don't think trikes horns would crush organs, they're not really made to crush

limber hull
#

yea but see you can't feel the force of a deino crushing down on a stego's head and killing it instantly, or the force of a stegosaurus hitting a trike in the organs at just the right angle to instantly, painfully kill it

#

again, immersion over realism

urban flax
#

Balance comes first

#

things the size of stego and higher are honestly too much of a time investment to be oneshot by anything

bleak kestrel
#

If someone thinks the isle is supposed to be realstic just remove him from #general-feedback at this point

waxen raven
# limber hull again, immersion over realism

Immersion doesn’t always mean good gameplay. If the devs focus too much on “immersion” at the cost of logic, balance, or realism, it can ruin the experience. If Trike’s charge barely damages Stego’s belly because of “immersion,” that’s just bad design it should be devastating. If Trike tanks multiple Rex bites because "it’s immersive for it to be tanky" that breaks realism instead of supporting it. If dinosaurs act in ways that don’t match their strengths, like a Trike hesitating against a Stego when it’s built for tanking and charging, that kills immersion instead of helping it. Immersion and logic should work alongside realism when it comes to the isle, not against them

bleak kestrel
#

If you dont get that you shouldnt do suggestions at all

limber hull
#

Again, Trike ISN'T DONE

normal shuttle
#

bruh

#

are you still talking about this

limber hull
#

This feels like an important note that Trike is missing half its damn kit

bleak kestrel
normal shuttle
#

trike is gonna obliterate stegos when it gets spar no diff. The numbers so far are fine and it deals almsot 1k damage with a headshot on non stego targets with a normal attack on top of one of the highest bleed values in the entire game

limber hull
#

Sparring stance tends to also buff your damage, so Trike will be hitting like a monster truck while in that stance

bleak kestrel
#

Dli just stop youre not making any point youre just annoying

normal shuttle
#

you do not want to mess with a decent trike with the terrain in its favor

#

let alone with sparring when it can go backwards or correct its position quickly

and we dont need trike (or apexes for that matter) one or two shotting each other

bleak kestrel
#

Okey we get this your whole point is trike needs a buff but you dont realize its unfinished

cyan flame
#

In that case, we'd end up with trike and stego oneshotting each other on body, if only due to massive internal damage and bleeding since they both sport quite the weaponry

bleak kestrel

So like stop whole your idea is pointless because it planned to be buffed already

Trike has a huge buff in store

or 750 with the sparring lmb from what I was told from the files in the game?

it literally 4 shots stego without counting the running knockdown that does 750 too as well apparently

I think this dude want trike to just be stronger than stego and no diff it and be unbalanced

normal shuttle
waxen raven
# cyan flame Is it? If trike horns in stego belly should hurt, so should thagomizer in trike ...

While both are powerful weapons there's a key difference in how they affect their targets Trike’s horns are designed for penetrating and causing internal damage through sheer force, while Stego’s tail is more about blunt impact and slashing. The tail could damage a Trike's belly, but it wouldn't cause the same kind of internal trauma as a direct horn strike. The mechanics of the hit differ, so the damage potential isn’t identical even though both are dangerous

normal shuttle
#

because otherwise this discourse wouldn't be as insistent

#

like saying that a trike realistically would obliterate a stego with a charge to the belly

A cerato can tank 2 alt atacks from a trike and live.

or getting its stun back on ceras and carnos. Absolute cinema

but either way I think pachy really needed something at least this hordetest. It is completely helpless against mildly competent omnis or dilos

#

well no, I guess I can personally perform well in a one on one

#

but if there's two omnis or the dilo gets an ambush you are done

#

omnis slowing you down below trot speed making grapple ridiculously easy 💀

and then dilo in ht

bleak kestrel

I think omnis are rather easy to deal if u run away and in 1v2 you could come on top

acoustic spruce
#

@waxen raven you forget that stego a long ass tail thagomizers? Ofc those deal so much damage. But I do agree that trike should deal quite a bit of damage she. Attacking with its giant horns

normal shuttle
#

@split estuary who would've guessed? Pinning down a creature 3 times your size so that it is literally unable to do any counterplay and just watch helplessly as the raptors bite and claw at it for +30 seconds is actually challenging and hard to pull off even when two omnis already slow down a cera to a speed marginally above a trot and also passively drain its stamina

Don't be that one dimensional thinking. Omni can still do damage and bleed with its pounces, and on top of that you also have a lmb button to bite and deal damage with only your running time as stam cost.

#

and tbh it's also fine and even intended for cera to have a good matchup against omni

mild isle
#

Am I mistaken or can you not already pin Cera as two raptors? I remember doing it at least twice in my last playthrough- not sure if the Cera has to be low stamina for that or if the ceras we fought weren’t entirely fg (they weren’t babies, but)

limber hull
#

you can if you exhaust the cerato

normal shuttle
#

this guy is talking about pinning a healthy one

#

it would hilariously overpowered if omnis could just do that again

normal shuttle
#

@solemn hornet I want apexes to be hard and skilled but at the same time I don't like all three of those points, especially the second one

#

having giant slow carnivores at the brink of starvation after 20 minutes traversing the map is just flat out artificial bs and ironically something that wouldn't depend on skill

#

why not just make their diets exigent and hard to attain instead of killing them if no one is in that section of the map? You would also reinforce hotspots with that

solemn hornet
#

You maybe right about the 20 mins , but honestly i just dont want the whole server to be rexes , trikes , and others apexs , if you choose to play as one be ready to suffer

normal shuttle
#

also who cares if they cant enter sanctuaries? they have to leave shortly after due to their weight gain

And in regards to growth, having deino growth is completely unnecessary. You only have deino as that so it can be vulnerable to its own and also other people for a long time, because its environment has no one else. But with more animals (especially apexes) in the ecosystem it won't be a big deal that trike for example gains 6 tons at 50% and then it plateaus hard, because that would make it hard to grow with rex around

normal shuttle
#

like making diets harder to get

solemn hornet
#

So waht you mean by diets harder to get?

normal shuttle
#

we don't need to turn all apexes into deino

modest dock
normal shuttle
#

and not have them starve in 30-40 minutes

solemn hornet
#

Okay I really was way harash with the 20 mins I got it

normal shuttle
#

even then

#

40 minutes for something like a rex is so low

#

it's an ambush hunter, it has no real capability to traverse the map quickly and chase after its food

#

just make growth actually harder and not artificially so

modest dock
#

But i agree with one point trike grows way too easy rn

solemn hornet
#

Okay but how can you make growth harder ? Diets fast decay or slow gain is the same artificial way of making apex grow longer, so what can actually be done to make the growht hard?

normal shuttle
#

but just that, toned down

#

it doesn't have to be like deino, only hitting 4-5 tons at 70%

unreal ridge
#

Trike was a big baby yes

#

But I feel like it shouldn’t hit 2-3 tons until 30-40%

#

It just makes trikes weight so hard to gauge for many predators, especially deino

foggy field
thick summit
#

I think if apexes could not enter sanctuaries at all, their growth would already be hard enough

Apex herbis are forced to seek out migration zones which is very risky

Not the (perceived) cause

dawn hound
#

that is the logic

#

deinosuchus is the most stupidly easiest playable in the whole entirety of the game

every single place i enter, has at least two deinos

and even when i go to a lowly populated server (talking about ten players) i remember seeing 2 deinos in a river

You are telling me why you are posting this

But not how is this going to fix anything that you consider an issue

woeful latch
unreal ridge
#

Well I mean deino isn’t really supposed to be hard right now
It doesn’t have any real predators besides other deinos and maybe Herrera

#

it’s also a crocodile so it’s great at surviving

woeful latch
#

the only reason deino is “easy” is because it’s the only aquatic, you only really fear other deinos.

it’s easily fixable by adding more aquatic dinos to the game

dawn hound
#

Im talking about the fact you can hunt anything 50 meters away from any water and then a deino just smells it and walks his ahh over there to steal it. So many times

unreal ridge
#

By this logic why wouldn’t we nerf ceras nutrient gain? There’s so many of them everywhere and they can eat everything so we should just nerf their nutrient gain

woeful latch
#

won’t change anything

#

and i mean stealing corpses is a good game mechanic, shows how croc even on land is a great enemy for small things like cera

And yeah strictly speaking it is viable

But you are completely at the mercy of other crocs

It is pure gambling

unreal ridge

8 whole tons, 10-11 at elder

normal shuttle
#

I mean yeah it should be hard

#

What bothers me is how it achieves that difficulty

bleak kestrel
normal shuttle
#

With the brutally one sided matchup when other crocodiles see you, having no agency over what you eat due to safe spots and hotspots being disconnected and then reliance on groups to survive canni pairs

bleak kestrel
#

Also crocodiles arent really that aggresive towards eachother in real life too

tame plover

The croc vs croc is absurd atm.. Sometimes it would be nice to feel safe in water and just being able to play the patience game without constantly having to look over your shoulder

Depends on the species but yeah, deino is vastly more aggressive (in group) than most crocodilians, especially alligators

weak terrace
# wooden agate <@292512368049520650> you can get to literally any fresh water source on the map...

I was referring more to the travelling between bodies of water. Deinos move super slow on land unless they are running, but their stamina also drains incredibly fast. This causes you to have to either wait or move at a snails pace to get anywhere, all while your water is draining incredibly fast. I was just suggesting making it so that Deino's water drains slower, even by a small margine, to allow you to travel across land masses easier.

im not really talking balance in that sense im just talking game enjoyment and fun

in all seriousness it is definitely much more healthy for the game if carno was size accurate

limber hull

lowers its head and completely exhausts itself, but also needs to charge for a long duration to stun ANYTHING, and can't ram again without waiting 20 seconds

they don't have to slap on tons of arbitrary debuffs on this carno

they didnt really have to on old carno either

#

the only problem ever was charge

limber hull
#

and they turned charge into a joke at the later stages of 1800 carno

stone hatch
#

right now carno essentially just doesnt interact with half the roster

#

more possibility of player interactions is good for the game

#

ceras, dilos, omnis all should fear carno as their main predator tbh

limber hull
#

not every animal needs to interact wth every animal

sadly, as much as one may want, the noble minmi should generally evade the mighty rex

#

also, cerato's predator is allosaurus

stone hatch

true but we need a predator for sub adult allo

#

at least sub adult

limber hull
#

we're getting sub-rex

#

before allo

stone hatch
#

because realistically what is going to kill a fully grown allo besides herbivores that it picks a fight with and gets too cocky against

#

it should be significantly faster than every apex carni

limber hull
#

also wouldnt cera be good at killing sub allos?

we need something to bridge the gap between cera sized dinos and allo sized

limber hull
#

we still haven't gotten baryonyx

i just cant see how jumping from the low 1 thousand kilos range to the high 2 thousand kilo range would be good

#

with nothing between

#

it would be really nice to not have such a split in mid teirs

#

baryonyx is gonna be the only exception

#

adding carno means we would have a medium mid tier on all terrains of the map, interacting with a wide variety of other mid teirs

limber hull
#

wouldn't bary be a far better all-terrain option?

#

carno is a plains specialist. bary is capable in and out of water, and has the speed/agility to exist in plains/jungles/highlands

stone hatch
#

i doubt it would be something to chase down anything

#

a short term threat

#

you die or dont

#

i cant see baryonyx runnning down a teno through the forests all the way into highlands

limber hull
#

does it need to chase down anything to be considered valid as a predator?

stone hatch
#

no not at all, it would just be good to have something that is that size that would specialize in chasing things down

limber hull
stone hatch
#

teno and carno should be heavily teno favored but still scary for teno tbh

limber hull
#

eh

wooden agate
#

unironically i can see bary being pretty speedy on land

it seems the most true "semi aquatic" animal in game

stone hatch
#

peak teno/carno matchup was when the carno charged you and you slammed him and based on your timing you either got knocked over or stunned him

#

highest skill fight ever in the isle history

#

that was the matchup of all tiem

#

spiro teno v carno

limber hull
#

man i hated that matchup lmao

#

absolute snoozefest of either you get nuked by the charge or you dont

stone hatch
#

teno shouldve done more damage and carno charge shouldve done less damage but the entire fight being two skill shots competing was so fun

#

charge obv much much lower skill but the fact that it was a game of precise timing for a massive strike was peak

#

the isle combat will never give more dopamine than perfectly timing a slam on a charging carno and kicking his face in gave

#

it felt like hitting a quickscope headshot

#

absolute model for the isles combat moving forward but sadly it feels like individual player agency has been sort of removed in favor of realistic "you shouldnt survive actually" mechanics such as pins

#

where the player is forced to die because them living is wrong

wooden agate
#

just wait until you actually start quickscope headshotting people with snipers

limber hull
#

hell, omni used to be able to pin things TWICE it's own weight

stone hatch
#

a mistake to plan

wooden agate
#

that sounded sarcastic but i do think the image of a stegosaurus dropping dead from a sniper is (unfortunately) hilarious

we gotta be honest the entire playerbase is terrified of the balance implications of guns and we are kinda just ignoring it because we love eachother and love this game and we dont wanna think about that 😭

Ello! What do you guys think about what i wrote in the feedback channel? I am curious.

urban flax
urban flax
# lone solstice Why is that?

Inverting the enemy's controls at random isn't really useful as you cannot predict them
If anything it might make them avoid some attacks not on purpose because of the sudden direction changes
It's also very easy to adapt to and becomes completely useless after the first 0.5 second of confusion
Also useless of people who are not moving

RNG is just cringe
All in all it'd make troodon more infuriating to play against, but not hard and it troodon itself would not feel stronger either

lone solstice
# urban flax Inverting the enemy's controls at random isn't really useful as you cannot predi...

But if you know that it can happen you could potentially just wait for it, then do the pounce when an opportunity opens.

Then again, it does kinda go against tier 3 nature where every troo wants to get pounces in... Hm.

What if Each troo, individually, can make the % higher when pouncing in tier 3 once per Cooldown?

As for people standing still, could add the cannibal effect, they do random stuff, still opens windows of opportunity i reckon.

I do not see how you can adapt to something you don't control, mind explaining that? 👀

urban flax
lone solstice
urban flax

Players adapt by going "I press W to go forward, but I know every time a troodon bites me I know there is a %chance of my controls getting inverted so I'm ready to press S to keep going forward as soon as my dino turns around"

Also I have 0 idea what it has to do with mixpackers

Even if you make the prey flash bright red when it's controls get inverted, they cannot predict when it happens, so they don't have time to react

lone solstice

...Thing is, they do have time.

Obviously, if you make an omni turn around, they won't.

But big things DO give time if they move incorrectly, it's what ceras abuse to hunt dibbles, maias, and big things in general.

You cannot predict a player doing X or Y normally, neither can you with venom, but it's not about "predicting". This ain't league of legends, this is a survival game, It gives openings for hordes that need to kill big things cause they have mouths to feed.

RNG is not fun, and especially not having your controls randomly inverted. That doesn't make for fun counterplay or interesting gameplay, it creates frustrating moments where you feel as if the game isn't responsive and adds an artificial learning curve to those who have to face against Troodon

Yes, by the same logic, bucking is an awful mechanic, thanks for noticing

RNG bucking is godawful for that reason

There is no skilled counterplay or engaging gameplay. You either get screwed by chance or you don't

#

Would you guys rather have herbis buck automatically every time a specific amount of stam is spent

limber hull
#

no

lone solstice
#

? that'd make things predictable

limber hull
#

bucking should deplete a resource of the raptor and force the raptor to consider whether to continue engaging or retreat

#

it doesn't need to be stam. sparring charges and dilo clone charges prove you can make non-stam dependent resources

lone solstice
#

While that is true, it'd be kinda unfair for the herbi, cause they do have to spend stam.

Troodon also wouldn't benefit from the random turn mechanic

If anything, such a mechanic would be purely detrimental

Because they could randomly rotate unpredictably, screwing up your pounce and killing you

Or in the case of trike, literally accidentally face you and kill you instantly lol

#

Once on stage 3, there is no safe way to pounce

lone solstice

If Troodon benefits off baits and causing the opponent to make predictable and punishing moves, you've literally created a mechanic to weaken its primary playstyle

No, the RNG turning debuff. Not the venom

You literally made your opponent unpredictable via your own mechanic

Which is the worst thing a Troodon can do

The oponent already is unpredictable. I don't see your point.

And yes, the movement happens, good troos will get a pounce in against big stuff.

Add any other mechanic besides an unfair mechanic that makes my life as a Troodon harder

Take, for example, something like a mechanic that works like cerato bile. Troodon has the ability to bite its prey, inflicting this venom, that applies to the prey's stambar (unlike cera's, which goes for the stomach). The application is increased with higher venom stages. When reaching the peak of the stam bar, the prey vomits blood, losing blood/stam/health, and putting them in a vomit animation.

That'd be awful for the balance of the game in general.

I guess it would be worse because troodon would be stronger overall, but that's what happens when you buff any playable
It becomes better in mixpacks because it becomes better overall

or at least i don't see it

#

And also that's why I said bites draining stam, not passive stam drain on envenomated targets
This way troodons actually have to put themselves at risk to benefit for it, so the prey can just kill the troodons if they don't want their stam gone

same as troo's actually

#

if we do everything in constant fear of mixpackers, we might as well add nothing

lone solstice
#

You can just use hit and run and your prey will have their stamina take a considerable hit, depending of course on the values of that ability, i would imagine it ain't even close to ceratos, hopefully.

#

it had nothing to do with mixpacking tho

#

it had everything to do with the pachy just being very powerful to an unhealthy extent

urban flax
#

You can do them for further away, they automatically put you out of reach if they connect, you jump away when dismounting and can instantly start running away
Bites do none of that AND you run the risk of colliding with your target and stopping completely

# urban flax How are pounces more risky than bites

You are locked in place with a predictable trajectory going directly towards the opponent, a teno tail slam, a stego swing, a carnivore alt attack and you're cooked.

With bites, you can do run bys, nibble their anckles and that's it.

lone solstice
limber hull
#

yea, they're still possible

#

in fact pachy is only viable atm in herds/packs of that manner

lone solstice
#

but far less functional.

limber hull
#

it's equally functional tbh

lone solstice
#

than they were before.

limber hull
#

it's just worse as a solo animal

#

its mixpack potential is the best part about it

lone solstice
#

hmm... no, pachys do not have the same impact they used to.

Could still work? yes

Like in spiro? No, they've nerfed it rather than address what's wrong.

lone solstice
# urban flax What

Bubulblu, im fairly certain we speak the same language i do not know what's so confusing

limber hull
#

also wait yea you said pounces are harder than bites????

no?

#

pounces are SO easy, especially on Troo. Thing launches itself at machspeed

urban flax
#

It's not complicated math

Animal strong alone = Animal strong in mixpacks

Animal weak alone = Animal less strong in mixpacks

It really isn't and I've played troo for DOZENS of hours

lone solstice
#

i've played troo for extended periods of time, too.

#

Maybe we just have different playstyles or different experiences

#

But bites are easier to land and get away with.

indigo gulch
#

I mean….if you wanna use technicality, you can always bite but not always pounceTI_Wheeze but that’s hills etc and a massive technicality

lone solstice
#

If the pounce lands, sure, you're safe (Unless the prey is in a bad spot or traps you with the enviroment)

But if you get intercepted mid pounce? you just die.

Biting something and going away right after is safer, because there's no time to react to it unless what you're fighting saw you coming/Has INSANE reflexes.

@spark carbon that's WITH NV on

#

you got the outlines

lone solstice
urban flax
#

In what world does the prey have more time to react to a pounce than to a bite
Pounce is faster

#

And even if it wasn't, you can still pounce at point blank and be safe from retaliation
So at worst it'd be the same

Ngl the more i played beipi more i realized we need more rivers around the map

#

There isnt like a single river that connects to the ocean i think

#

Nvm there is only one

#

But i feel like we really need more water

#

We really need more water.

Main problem is that its hard for semi aquatic to travel around a map using rivers and etc would be nice if as aquatic you have more way to travel around the map and also would be nice instead of waterfalls we just got some rivers that have just stream going down and it would be more difficult to swim against them

#

And some places really feel empty so maybe adding water could fix this

Allright, it takes 4 omnis to pin a carno

Ok mass only matter when target have plenty of stam or blood but if one of those 2 parameters below certain threshold - you can pin ANYTHING just with 2 raptors

so silly 😄

desert arch
#

The omnis still need to exceed 25% of the victims mass

urban cypress
#

so it takes almost 6 omnis if the omni weight is decreased to 400

You wouldn't need 6 400kg raptos to pin carno

ancient kestrel
#

Anyway the fact is you would need 6 400 kg rapors to pin carno only if you want to do it instantly without exhausting it's health/stam/blood

desert arch
#

It only has 5

ancient kestrel
urban cypress
#

Sure you can outstam a solo carno, when there are 4 you want to instantly pin it. Based on group sizes, omni is ****

Thats not math

#

I want to be able to pin a carno instatly

#

i don't want to out stam it just becuase its possible

ancient kestrel
#

You drain carno's stam just by latching on it

#

Don't you know that?

urban cypress
ancient kestrel
#

With buffed neutral pounce consuming your stamina only each 5 seconds - thats bonkers

ancient kestrel

#

Carno will reach 0 before you reach 50% stam haha

@sudden otter I'm sorry but the idea of dinosaurs getting chemoterapy is so funny to me

urban cypress
#

well, nice to see omni getting buff. Still, i want to be able to pin (larger) dinos with just my body weight

#

it's kinda the omnis main thing. Not to just ride along

#

health sucks, speed sucks, but hell, a group of fg omnis is scary

sudden otter

im glad someone found it funny becase a lot of people thought it was a bad idea
