have you seen the videos of pike snatching ducklings or other birds?
freaking scary
oh shit
just swim underwater for 10 mins or so downstream, only pop your head up once, and otherwise go unnoticed
sniff for footprints every now and again
I would enjoy different species of fish, would definitely make fishing more interesting
and see if a juvie is frequenting an area
some of them capable of killing an austro, but a better meal for suchos, etc.
Yeah i doubt an Austro would take on a 1.5 ton Juvi giga'
arapaimas would be dope
theres a lot of other juvies out there XD
i would say it could yank something into the water and drown it, but it doesnt have the jaw strength
I still feel it shouldn't be a 1 shot for Utah just so it can actually escape
i said one shot for utah pounce. but i doubt it would survive an extended run with one bite of bleed either
Doubt it would be if they would be similar weight mass, or slightly under utah
the bleed on the otherhand is a different story depending on many variables
but if you could run into the water and heal bleed off then it would be a smart counter to stick around water
But idk if i should call that a Utah issue or an Austro issue
an austro feasibly shouldnt be spotted out of the water -otherwise it just turns into a situation of "survives the attack and dies in the water"
unless thatll attract predators to eat your ass
Yeah, but it would be better than running
which it would be doing if it was stuck on land with a utah on it's ass
same effects imo
You take less damage while walking, and even while trotting than running
and considering you wouldn't have to move quickly in water you would be fine
Not if you are floating
youd float downriver then if it has a current
that's situational
and nothing stops the utah from jumping in after you to try and drag you out
except for the fact that you are still way more adept at swimming
mhm.
and the utah would have to basically land ontop of you to confirm the kill
yep
any smart austro wouldn't let that happen
its like a human trying to catch an otter
exactly. however, just like ive run into with utahs -theres always the people who think they are safe instantly when they get in their safe zone so to speak
its how ive become a borderline cannibal
that's a player fault
mhm XD
if they suck at the game then that's not balance's problem
cockiness gets many people killed and it would be no exception for aquatics
mhm. honestly i hope to see austro in at some point. id love to be a duck -just might be a while yet.
It would compliment the fishing roster very well
Definitely a more defined playstyle than something like spinosaurus, which I could see conflicting with deinosuchus in some respects
sucho would be the bully and slow, ambush based pred. austro would be a much more active more fish-exclusive hunter.
I wouldn't say it would be fish exclusive
moreso* it would hunt juveniles and perhaps some small adults
but yes generally it's just a different niche as a raptor fisher
Seeing Austro get the smaller end would be kind of dissappointing for me tbh, but aight.
different fishing experience due to not being able to snag larger fish and isn't as limited to the water as sucho, since I assume sucho wouldn't nearly have the same agility as an austro on land
a 6 meter creature somehow uncapable of hunting down a 4 meter herbivore?
Yeah no
Dryo would probably enter Austro's diet
Definitely
I could see Galli even
whether you can catch it or not when you are adapted to fishing is a different story
and by adapted to I mean how it would hunt them if you take potential future gimmicks and balance into account in general
if austro is a fisher it's going to have a gimmick with fishing, or just have it's gimmick be fishing itself or something, because who knows
meanwhile it wouldn't have something that would make it more effective at terrestrial hunting or give it a defined niche in terrestrial hunting
besides "If I can bite it and kill it quickly then I'll eat it"
of which almost all juveniles and some small herbivores would fall under that category
Pretty sure I mentioned it being able to hunt small stuff in the doc
but
¯_(ツ)_/¯
ah yeet
reading is overrated
Apparently.
Ok chill....
Since people keep doing it with every doc suggestion I make.
I never stated i didn't see that.
I'm completely chill.

@shut gale this idea could work for sure
in terms of balance, I think some need nerfed (ex. +20% stamina is way too much)
You might wanna roll with stamina regen instead
flat stamina percentage increase is pretty broken tbh
it may need to be tuned down a little. My thought was the utah already has a big amount of stamina so eh :|
Also wanted to make that tree branch appealing
would not complain either way -higher stamina regen would actually be more appealing as oyu can quickly back off, regen stam, then go back in
ya i considered that aswell
oh wait
but went with this one.. that branch could be added
more stam = more pounce time
ya...
that's why i went with this one x)
That is an interesting method with the perks.
could even add some special abilities like.. if you go thro the stam branch one skill could give less penalty for jumping consecutively
actually. maybe instead of giving more stam, which could be used for other methods -maybe it should just be a buff to the stam drain from pouncing?
the quieter footsteps is also a nice touch. i use hearing a LOT in this game
ya i thought of that but. i tried to be simple :<
fair enough
not adding too much
but ya you get it. so much could be done with it..
i actually had it as a way to obtain strains. The Fighter lead to the hypo and the hunter to the Tisso. But i was advised to turn it into a perk system only
could be an interesting way to go about it -though i think thats its own thing you have to get through interacting with the world
ya... i think its better like this
I guess flat stam isn't a bad idea for Utah specifically
flat stam on something like allo would be pretty busted though
ya that tree I made my best to balance it but its for the utah alone
If it was to be used on other dinos it would need tweeks
@minor reef There is a reason for this. Looking at real paleontology the apex predator that made the kill, would take its fill (the best bits) then move away.
Smaller Carnivores would then come forward and finish it off. Finally scavengers would eat any extras.
This is greatly influenced in The Isle, not that a Carnivore will simply sit at the body till it completely disappears. Animals eat then go do other things like drink, patrol territory or look after young.
@keen kettle Does your computer crash if you play minecraft with unlimited fps on ?
dangit.
Still, it'd be nice to see foilage further than 15-20 meters on "epic" settings. Yes, I run a constant 60+ fps no matter what Im doing up untill maybe 20+ dead corpses in the close vicinity, then it dips to 50, but still... Id like to see dinos further than aprox 100 meters ._.
then why don't you play on cinematic??
Whats the difference?
@pale prairie the Trike model we have right now is actually a somewhat recent remodel. The adult Trike actually looks quite accurate, but maybe the juvenile and subadults could stand to be tweaked, made a little thinner
as i said it might just be the skin
doesn't look as good as ehh.. allo or para for example
and i'm not saying it needs to
i'm sure it's just the skin that makes it look so.. bad
Allo and para models are super new so it's just that
I want answers to our questions about the isle :(
@spiral sonnet Just gave it a read, I get where you are coming from but what you described is more of a playstyle than a unique mechanic.
Can't "leg trauma" effect and food hiding be considered as a mechanic?
Maybe I get the word "mechanic" wrong...
Ok. thx anyways
Well, that does count. But I think it's already planned.
If you'd like, I'm currently giving it a go right now
@barren zephyr
that's my point
trike and diablo models are not up to current quality standards
might just be the skin making them look that way though
ok need to ask why do we make sound if we're talking in group chat.... it makes it hard to give orders or follow orders if other dino's can hear us at a LOOONG distance i can hear someone talking in group chat say if they were at the mountain side where all plant food is and i was by the mountain before the water crossing....
Cause your dinos are 'talking' to each other
@quasi reef would you like to suggest that if you Dino’s are a certain distance away from each other it broadcasts instead of f calls lol
Why would it need to be unlockable in Sandbox
There's nothing to lose or care about in Sandbox
@spiral sonnet there's an unfinished rauisuchus model https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/the-isle-dinosaur-game/images/a/a0/Raui.png/revision/latest?cb=20161231013350
@thorny lynx try putting your render down to 50 - 70, then you can put the shadows up a bit.
I have seen Rauisuchus model. It looks strange imo.
It does look strange... the front limbs are so short
@blazing charm do you have a link to all your doc suggestions?
Oh boy, all of them.
Uhm. I can gather them up
Though I won't bother with the spider one
since that's uh
A bit of a...stretch.
@barren zephyr I'll make an index when I am finished this current one.
???
@edgy echo different patterns for the skin system are already being worked on actually
@thorny lynx Its the little percentage, its on the other side of the graphics menu to all the other things like Shadows and Textures.
Should say Render Scale the game will look worse but should run alot quicker
@nova shell ah I had no idea that’s awesome!
there's no evidence for kapro having long kapro legs
in fact it was probably much like any other crocodile aside from its huge tusks
so uh, yeah that's a no for kapro
I feel like there's a more recent prehistoric crocodillian that fits the dog-like croc idea way better than kapro
can't remember the name though
🤷
Oh! I remember a few!
Hold on
Postosuchus was it’s name
Again similar dog build
There are better pictures of it.
Here’s one that’s hunting. Gotta love dog gators.
Their just very unique in my opinion, and I mean large reptile gator dogs. They’d look pretty epic in the game.
I'd love to have four-legged carnivores in game like postosuchus tbh
balance would be the only problemo
what new would it bring to the table?
most other carnivores are both bigger and faster than you
"its just a four legged utah"
more of a manlet four legged cerato
more like your mom
no u
shut
i know u are but what am i
gay
i know u are but what am i
a Utah main?
nah you think?
One, I think we are going to see some quadrupedal archosaurs in the game. Tow, I've seen kaprosuchus suggested before and I put it at a 1/4 chance of seeing it in the game. Three, it makes me sad to see people call things by other animal names.
I was just poking fun
people bombarded me with the same thing
"This dinosaur is just that dinosaur but this or that"
its overused
not* u
: (
lol
I'm talking about "Like the awesome kaprosuchus, or the dog like alligators" and "Gotta love dog gators".
who does that
It's a crocodile that can run. It ain't going to play fetch with you.
It just gets under my skin.
Well kill the fun why don’t you, jeez. How about you read up on them first before criticizing?
Besides it’s a suggestion, not official.
It’s meant to be handing out ideas and sharing ideas not to just put it down so immediately. You seem to just be rude.
it's not being rude, it's being sensible
it's absolutely fine to think that this wouldn't add anything to gameplay
things like these have been suggested plenty of times before, including what is essentially this exact suggestion
there's a reason they aren't in game, that being, they're more trouble than they're worth
it seems like you're offended that someone doesn't like your idea, and in that case, you may as well just avoid making suggestions, because someone will always dislike your ideas



Makes suggestion
Adds to the good emotes of his own suggestion
Doesn’t add more to the bad emote
Tries to make it look like more people agree with his own suggestion
It doesn’t matter if it’s a good suggestion or not, Still a move that irks me

This doesn't seem like we're actually discussing any suggestions that were made.
I'm gonna ask that y'all move on.
as much as i'd love to see somethin like that, it's still important to consider how it'd function in the game and if it'd be balanced and fun to play.
regarding nonsensical dinosaur requests -
I mentioned this before, but we all know shant is pure cancer because it's suppose to be the "spino" of herbivores, yet it just outruns everything, right?
ex: the shantpocalypse back in old v3 days. They just outran all of the apex carnivores they came across, and killed them off.
so, why not just replace shant's designated role with camara?
you kill 2 birds with one stone - you make a balanced super-herbivore that can't outrun anything, while pleasing the people who still want some kind of playable sauropod in survival.
IDK maybe I'll make an article about it in the suggestions section.
@barren zephyr giga does not need a buff
adding new survival dinos without mechanics is irrelevant
defeats the purpose of survival
That balance one is acceptable.
first time ive heard someone actually say that giga doesnt need a buff 😮
so many people i meet ingame always say that giga needs a buff, tho the recent stam buff did help giga players alot
It got buffed last patch.
hmm actually yeah gigas probs dont need a major buff lol
a preety big one at that.
stam and what else? i dont play giga much
i think its 3min now, yeah it can now run away 😂
i didnt say unimportant, but this is a dinosaur game :p
Humans are set to be a core feature of the game
But
I do agree with most of what you were saying
humans would b fucking sick in the isle, i love the idea
but fixing the dinosaurs first would b cool
Agreed with the above
I think more of the focus should be put into humans than anything else right now, because once they are added a lot will change and will need to be refined from there. Fixing dinos is a close second for me, but again, just my opinion
I don't think you can really fix the dinosaurs until humans are added? They'll probably have to change again?
^
You can set dinosaurs to 90% without humans.
so that is what you should begin by doing.
splitting work between dinosaurs and humans is a big no no
that's also a fair point
Not necessarily, some problems are only worked out through play testing
If you can get the dinosaurs finished beforehand, you can then add humans and focus your attention entirely on them without dinos getting in the way.
i mean there r quite a few bugs that have to do with dinosaurs when ingame, i can understand why theyd focus on working on the humans and such, but i feel like itll b quite awhile before they actually release humans
but I think the biggest problems will come from human/dino interactions, and will need working out after humans are added
yeah lots of work would need to b done with dinos and human interactions o-o
which can be tweaked
instead of a dino buff/nerf
that messes up everything else
or a human buff/nerf
that effects everything
tbh if we could talk about the now, atm this is a dinosaur game, and i cant really see why humans would b on the top of the 'to do' list
idk anything about the lore and all that, i just got this game cus dinosaurs lol
this is a survival game first
which humans are just as important as the dinos
you need a base to build a house.
try to build the walls without a solid foundation and the house falls.
you need one david to make multis
Try polishing the floor before putting the walls up though
you just need to go back over it once you are done
Arguable
I mean I have a builders white card so...
I'd rather have AI and actual game features over new dinos, just sayin'
People who make Ai and actual game features do not do new dinosaurs.
You are the exception Jewbacca!!
i just dont see humans that important in this game atm, maybe in the future hell yeah but rn this is such a dinosaur focused game
it's only dino-focused right now because dinosaurs take longer to develop.
That was the worst suggestion I’ve read in a while
Well yeah nobody has done a dinosaur game like this before.
And I’ve seen some bad ones in my time
You can't just take from the blueprint and expand.
ive had friends and heard of people quitting the game, because of the unfixed bugs/glitches lol
humans are coming later because humans will be SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER to develop.
Tbh
Honestly I dont think it was a bad suggestion, I think it was pretty damn blunt and to the point
It’s shocking the isle has as many players as it does
so why not focus on fixing the easy bugs? skin bugs, getting stuck thru maps etc
@wraith trout no it was terrible
when it comes to the dinosaurs, everything is made from scratch. you can't just go to the unreal marketplace and buy AAA-quality default dino models and animations.
Stop giving undue credit
xd
What was terrible about it?
Uh
Not a single damn thing was specific
Buff Giga, asks for skins
i was giving my honest opinion and suggestion
“Buff and nerf certain dinosaurs”

hell yeah dude
Buff giga
screw that
Lol
giga doesn't need any buffs at all.
nah i understand why u shouldnt buff giga now, changeed my mind lul
Giga is literally in no need of a buff it can outrun almost anything with its ambush
i mean most of the time giga players r running away instead of fighting
because they know they will get fked
exactly
Also fixing the rest of that stuff is pretty time consuming
The post is pretty much asking for stuff that would take months to be done to be out ASAP
“Add new survival Dinos!” You mean like the ones already in development?
Which is what the devs are already doing
all my suggestions were mainly from personal experience, friends, and other peoples own opinion on the game
non survivals
It’s pretty much a “hey you guys aren’t working fast enough go faster”
nah i dont wanna b like that
“Actually listen to community’s feedback and suggestions” #524692710297305089 and look in pins
just saying focus on things that are more important
Pins in suggestions
i have
I say the fundamental part of the suggestion, being about shifting the devs focus onto things that the game needs now rather than hypos and killer plants etc was agreeable
Yes
yeah, that is actually agreeable.
yeah alot of people were talking about that
focusing on other things besides the dinosaurs?
“Devs are ignorant and don’t listen to community lol”
“Im sure theres more i could add but i cbb, anyways i love this game alot and only want to see it improve! ❤ i appreciate all the hard work and time you developers put into this game, its absolutely amazing.”
maybe i should have worded that differnetly lmfao
I think balance needs focus
Focusing on more than buffs and nerfs would be nice too
We don’t have a working ecosystem
mate im not trying to start shit lol
Which is something that is happening now
it's fine, we've just hear this kind of feedback all the time.
You’re right actually
I mean if you wanna leave feedback you could not be hostile in your first 2 sentences of the suggestion
wait anyways, shifting focus as in fixing the bugs that r ingame atm
Dumb is bad, I switched my thing to a downvote
Maybe they’d actually listen
its the harsh truth sadly
as soon as i started playing this game i was washed over with negative stories
it was upsetting
tho i still love this game
and have high hopes for it
we're (hopefully) getting a brand new map soon, so chances are we'll start seeing some new bugs in the new map.
Some big things need to change, because I love this game, I've been following it for years and all that jazz, but I dont even have 100 hours yet because its just not something I play
and that makes me a little sad
recent updates have been aesthetically pleasing i can say that
If I had to give an honest opinion, I think the devs put way too much time into new maps, only to be scrapped again.
Honestly
the whole giving non survivals sniff, and nesting, other dinosaur interactions is really nice
I’d have to agree
The focus should be balance though
like, what happened to AE01 or whatever it was called? And then v4? why make such huge maps and continue doing so if you don't even have running AI to sustain a playerbase?
i think 1 of my friends put a suggestion before, and got alot of harsh feedback, i was expecting the same but u guys r chill
thanks for being open minded
Like, new Dinos are a big no
ive kind of changed my thought aswell
lmfao
I came here because I knew it would be a flame war and I wanted to prevent that
I’ve been ripped a new one several times in this channel
^ same
i mean if people wanna get toxic it just shows the community is toxic aswell 😦 but im glad there r actually some chill people here
yikes
@barren zephyr sadly, with this community, you have to accept the fact theres people who will call you an idiot just for opening your mouth here. (commenting on a thing earlier) as for the suggestion....i feel like that was a lot of venting and not overly constructive criticism. you guys have been talking about that here though -so im only stating the obvious.
^
thank you! will keep that in mind next time i put out a suggestion lol my bad o-o" i think just hearing alot of my friends complaints about the game just blurted out
that was defs my fault
yeah. imo, might be best just to remove that suggestion and restructure it to have an actual focus
^
ie: the one meaty bit that could work would likely be the focus on the hypos
will do 👍 havent slept for 2 days so that also fucked me up aswell
but, the thing is...modelers and programmers are diff employees.
👀
so they dont overlap
much that is
so, they might not have much else to do BUT model hypos. maybe they have a lot of other assets done or their waiting for copyright allowance on something. who knows
maybe hypos will have a way to be out soon ( doubt it) but might explain their priority
Some people have the misconception that once the developers are making something, it becomes the development focus yeah
Been around the isle for almost.....2 years? a little over a year? they bounce between subjects and foci like crazy
Yes
dont blame them either. as an artist i get sick of doing the same thing day in and day out
And this is why Im so glad we extinguished the flame war before it happened. because I've overlooked that so many times
and im sure many other people just dont realize that they are different jobs; modelling, animating and programing
^^
did not know that, @wintry cipher thanks for filling me in on that info
i might go reconstruct my suggestion abit so its less messy lol and more understandable from my pov
@wraith trout thankfully i picked up on that not too long after i joined because i used to do animating with a team in high school. some stuff is useful damnit XD
maybe ask us here kimchi
we could prob give a rough answer. might not be the right one but
just a more focused view than a smaller population
will do 👍
Pick which arguments you fight very carefully
I don’t really care
I just post and argue with people
But my stuff rarely gets over ten likes
70% of my suggestions get ignored or whacked. other 30% are usually born of the community mindset and do well because of it (like the giga and rex nerf/balance)
tbh at first i had no real suggestion but recently, alot of players have been upset with the isle all mainly focused on devs working on things that arent a major thing? but they r probably like me and did not know the things u guys had mentioned earlier
Yep
I'd assume that. Ignorance and miscommunication is a huge problem in a lot of places
Most people do t read
well, they're currently being worked on, but a lot of it just won't come with the christmas patch, such as the addition of pachy, sucho, skin customization and etc.
They just downvote or upvote
Even I do it sometimes
I try to be good about it
But
It’s hard
Most of the trash talk i see over the isle starts with misconceptions
like how my tribal/affinity dino suggestion got mixed reviews. and i can see why -i didnt have time to fully flesh it out, but i got the idea out there enough to make some sense
Usually from outsiders
some suggestions i can understand why it can b downvoted, i see ALOT of dinosaur suggestions being slammed
and i can udnerstand why my suggestion was not appreciated
a lot of dino suggestions get slammed not because they dont like the dino
but because of the time it takes
and the money
and the fact that said mentioned dinosaurs may not offer anything interesting from a gameplay perspective.
once the game is done and dev kit is out and better than ever ill bet n one will ask for dev made dinos. theyll ask modders.
it is.
Mine are okay
most just recommend a pointless dinosaur because it's their favorite and simple as that.
one of the few lucky suckers who has their fav dino in game and its para
@still temple well ive heard a paleontologist refer to Araripesuchus as coyote like so its not completely insane that they compared it to dogs
but comparing posto and kapro to dogs is @edgy echo
p sure dogs arent bipedal (in posto's case)
@still temple not saying they r right just saying I’m not surprised
@warped harbor not sure if sarcasm because sarcasm don't carry through text very well
but for those of us without mics who rely on group chat to plan hunts, removing the forced f-call would be GREAT
It's a legit suggestion
The forced F call is unnecessary
Everybody either makes a steam group or talks through discord, and it's an additional step that could just not be there
By making the in-game chat actually usable
Or they use voicechat
I use in game chat
But like
I agree that it’s pretty dumb that you make so much noise
Well when your in a big herd, it can make it all a little more dynamic. Scenic almost.
Yes
But people in discord have an overwhelming advantage
Which is dumb af
If you’re playing the game as intended you shouldn’t be punished
Well perhaps you should start using it as well. That is if you think it's such a good advantage.
I can’t chat with new spawns that I nest in because everything in the area will hear me
Like
It’s dumb
And I do discord with people
I still think it’s dumb
I like how realistic making noise while chatting is
But
It punishes people for playing the game regularly
Which is not good tbh
You know
I think maybe reworking it would be better than just dropping it
I play Ceratosaurus alot. So i do see your point. Loud.
@warped harbor that is bollocks, what isn't used is the Local chat since people are always in groups.
If I’m playing with people I know I discoed every tine
And it gives me an overwhelming advantage
Which I think is unfair
🤷
@mental sleet
Because there will never be a better way of communicating than discord
I believe
I don't, the only way to fix it would be to something stop discord from being used, which won't happen.
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
I think it’s fixable
Kind of like fliers are fixable
Except lower priority
Then please, how would you fix it ?
Affinity

Different chatting systems
That last one won't help
and why the hell do people try to fit everything onto affinity.
I need time to actually put together something workable
go for it, this is an actual problem.
I'd be down with having the f call turned off just on the group chat, so every initial encounter you have you still make noise but isnt forced to constantly reveal position while on local
why tie chat with affinity tho
because you are making affinity the end all be all
punish people for abusing it
affinity wont fix everything
chat is one of those things that affinity wont fix
it won't fix everything
huh
too complex then?
fair enough
I'll leave it up, maybe someone else will have a good idea
tbh, I'm not really sure how you would fix chat without affinity
I'm down for something else
100%
I think you just can't, it isn't the game's fault this situation came to be.
Just make all grouped dinos vocalize periodically while in close proximity. The volume and range of the vocalization need not be high, only loud enough to be heard amongst the group at short range. It’s the only unexploitable, but realistic and reasonable demonstration of group vocals.
The only way and reason to not have vocals is if you are actively ambushing(crouched), solo or far removed from your group mates.
if you're not communicating then you shouldnt randomly call
@honest rock I like the idea. maybe instead of the background graphics, we can instead have q silhouette of a pack or herd depending on species, and a nest with eggs when someone wants to invite you.
then again, we should be reading more carefully. I usually skim it and check to seebm before accepting or declining, or go off their icon since 99% of the time it's my friend or packmate inviting me to a nest or group
@limpid dove yeah thats true! I often get invites from people I played Ingame so I accept them and then I see oh its a nest invite. But yes thats a good Idea from you too!
all you have to do is read
the problem with this suggestion is the sheer pointlessness of it
^
@nova shell We shouldn’t be cheating the system with voice comms either. The thing is, group banter is realistic and immersive. There would be a whole series of social calls that would and should be expected within a social group...location calls, hierarchy interactions, alert calls, etc.
The fact that we are actively communicating meta-ly implies there should be communication/calls between our dinos. Perpetually stealthy groups/packs is ludicrous.
group banter would be annoying
your dino would randomly make noise and you would be thinking "how can i stop this, i dont want to talk"
and dinosaurs wouldn't be 'bantering' anyways, they can't talk at all
but players can
o k
@nova shell So you envision dino social groups as mute and silent?
course not
but they would never communicate when unnecessary
there's no need for them to make any sound unless they purposefully click one of the number keys or type in chat
Triceratops' walk turn is better than its alt-turn
A whole slew of social interactions is the necessity. I can tell you that every pack of dinosaurs I’ve ever seen banter and interact continuously
@regal sapphire a utah main I see
What?
@verbal acorn they banter and interact continuously currently?
ah
so no need for the mechanic you propose
since they already do it
because utahs are renowned for assriding
utahs are the apex predator of servers without alt turn
@nova shell I’m speaking of real life dinos, in the real world...but with voice comms, this reality isn’t presented in game. The game has the feature...but voice comms allows us to unrealistically by-pass it
Fine m8 I’ll write a better suggestion rn give me 10 minutes
so you see real life dinosaurs bantering and interacting continuously
i get that it would fix the problem
As long as voice comms are an option there is a need to have dinos in groups and within close proximity to those in the group to have short-range banter
it would just be too detrimental to people who dont abuse voice comms
It would make all players either using voice comms or not, equally affected while grouped and in close proximity to group mates
say two players in a group are not talking
they would still make noise
for no reason
and needlessly draw attention to themselves
Yup, if they are in close proximity, they would make periodic short range/low volume calls and growls.
But if they are crouched, nothing
and those calls would be noticeable correct?
At close range, yes...unless crouched
you seem to want to make it seem like it would be harmless to people who arent talking at all, while still fixing the problem of people using voice comms
fact is you cant have both
If you are grouped, but not close to a group mate, you make no vocalizations
i understand that
If you are crouched and assumed to be hunting, no vocalizations. If you are not grouped, no vocalizations unless chatting
But group vocalizations would and should be the norm, not the exception
It should be one of the trade-offs for the benefits and advantages of operating as a group...you become less stealthy
the thing is that it would punish gruops sure
but it would also punish pairs
including mating pairs, which should absolutely not be punished
Yes, but we can adjust frequency of vocals to group size
couldnt groups just stay crouched for long periods at a time and be stealthy forever?
and what if your group is running from something through the trees, trying to lose it
but then you call because you're in a group
We can adjust proximity based on class. So herbivores would have a large proximity range to induce these calls and also adjust volume/call range accordingly
Because then you have Utahraptor killing everything in the isle easy
Having alt turn off
is not skill
It's a death wish
that does not help in either of the two situations i just said coco
i dont think a combat stance would be best for anything
@nova shell you could stay crouched indefinitely, but I suspect that would be unlikely in a large group. I’d also argue that crouching should have a small stamina drain also. A pack running away from a threat would definitely make noise...your pack would vocalize until out of proximity or members crouch.
well that bones the pack
@regal sapphire what would a combat stance battle even look like? instead of alt turn + lmb it would just be go into combat stance and lmb
And keep in mind, I’m not saying this feature would have to force constant banter. It would be infrequently per dino, but a large group would have more frequent calls because they have more members who could call at any given time.
understandable
but
but
what if you're sitting in a bush
something walks by
you cant stand up then crouch cause that would give away your position
but you call anyways because you just have to
I’m fine with sitting have a significantly reduced rate of calls...or even none at all.
groups sit most of the time though
so it wouldnt work then
and if they're trotting or running around the map you would hear their footsteps anyways
You're missing the point dino
people want to stop others from using discord and stuff to avoid making noise in game
🇫
Well have a fricking in game voicechat
that would be the massive-est cancer of all
^
there is no way to stop them from not using third parties
and no one wants an in game vc
and with the amount of people who still make noise on dev serves i dont see a problem
^
@fading shadow
As much as a dislike Isla Nycta, it's an extremely scummy move to remove another server just because it's completing with officials, especially to the people who spend money to keep the servers up and going, or donated. Also lots of people would get on the developer's asses, and I doubt they want to deal with that.
At least we have one full dev server.
If anything I could see non-official server being removed from Dev branch
@fading shadow i like ur suggestion here try expanding on it
I don’t see the point of erasing a server. Most of those people aren’t in game to test. Therefore they don’t hinder in any way to the development
That server doesn’t steal players from dev servers mostly because the people in dev servers don’t like nycta to begin with, so.... yea
dev branch servers are kinda for testing
the whole point of it so to find bugs before putting it in the official servers
granted if the server hasnt bee adjusted in anyway
settings / mods
it is fine
Haven is a better server anyway...
@midnight flicker Yes it would fix that problem but it would make ten more
like
you could see people inside bushes
making stealth practically worthless
in stealth mode the gamertags can disappear like when you sit down but standing normally shouldn't be an issue
this feature was removed from even places like nycta
yeah but gamertags only show when your close to them anyways
if you wanna report mix packers
you could implement a server log
or you could make it so you can see player ID if you click on them through a system or something
something that needs to be done manually as opposed to automatically
anything manual is considerably less abuseable
or you could just have it so that you could organize player names by proximity
ez
then obviously the closest dude would be the mix packer
but there needs to be a solution
The current system of reporting players is undeniably clunky, but your solution is simply not the fix
also
the current system isn't that bad
it's just slow
yes
and they ban them for a day
but then the mod needs to log on
where is that clunky
and sometimes they don't make it
true
like, it's pretty good, and the mods work hard
not alot of them do alot
but it could be more streamlined
well a chat in the discord wouldnt work
by time u start typing they have all logged out
honestly, yeah
cus most of these people will watch the disc
the solution isn't terribly easy
yeah, might as well just wait for affinity
it won't fully fix the issue
but it'll help
i got banned for 72 hours not realising there was other dinos close by and the group i was in group of Utahs on a rock staying alive,Giga did run passed but again staying on rock to stay alive at no stage i was notified by the grop or in an chat we was mix packing, when seeing the photo provided there was another 2 dinos in the woods, now being at night there is no way i could see them dinos even with this shitty night vision, if not gamertags maybe a dinos tag is shown
on dev?
if you didnt know they were there
dude
1st
Dev 1 this server
this is why I literally record all of my gameplay
you werent close enough for name tags to pop up
i record when i click on replay only one shows is the Deathmatches servers
not close so how then i was mix packing
name tags dont pop up that far away
so you were in a group with mix packers and you didn't realize they were mix packing
I mean
you must be new to this game
to be fair that's happened to me before
but like
tough luck?
I mean
now you have all their names
🤷
i didn't know they didn't say they were in vc or in chat
if i knew i would have run off
All I can say is
video yourself
cause
no system would've gotten you out of that one
short of video
but they could have been waiting for us to come off the rock to kill
again, video
all i know
but it doesn't record
not the ingame video
you can get free recording software off the Microsoft store
for xbox
name of the softwhere?
just use obs @midnight flicker
thank you
@midnight flicker Some servers do have nametags enabled for this reason too-- today a dev server I was playing on had it to where when you were in a close proximity of another player, you could see their nametag regardless of whether you were in a group with them or not, but if you were far enough they wouldn't see your tag
only problem with that @tulip smelt is people can easily target the person that killed them
also they were talking about the official dev servers
Yeah, I don't like the nametag feature, especially as an herbivore it easily gives you away
And oh okay
that greatly decreases chance at survival
not goin off at u btw
sandbox*
just provin the point
Ah yeah, I agree with u
I wasn't discussing the issues with targeting, if you kill some one and they want to target you then don't be uninteligent enough to stay in the same area and move on, even then with no name they can be lucky enough to run into you and kill you, you take your chances
yep its a survial game with Dev branch having rules, Public no rules so if i was on public i wouldn't care wouldn't say anything but i am on the Dev branch, people don't want there gamertag shown they can go back to the public branch, if we can help report the rule breakers and help the admins as much as we can the better i am for that, if you actually read my actual post from the beginning i am sure you know where i am coming from, i was wrongfully accused of mix packing. maybye not a players gamertag maybe the dinos tag comes up, that would help on the targeting front

Name tags on official are a terrible idea.
They give away your location to other players easily, and basically works as a player tracker when chasing somebody.
This will put ambush predators and animals that use jukes and confusion to get away from predators at a massive disadvantage.
Also, player targeting.
whats your solution? how to know other dinos are around so you know not to mix pack? i was wrongfully banned yet i still had to sit out the 72 hours, by the way i do agree with what you said but i atually record ign but it doesn't actually record, i can do it another way but it doesn't show the players name so whats the point of reporting when they don't know who to punish
There isn't a solution, just gotta try to catch it when it happens. It's an awful idea to show nametags on official, that might fix mix packing issues but it with fuck up just about everything else. Everything about it is wrong.
allow recording in game on dev servers be a start there is 1 solution
the problem witht hat is you then re-allow why they turned it off to begin with
people record, log off, then check the recording to find other people to kill
solve mixpacking by running off the dino that won't leave you alone
if you're an adult allo and a juvie giga insists on hanging around you, kill it
if you're a utah and an allo hangs around you, run away
theres only a couple instances where sadly that wont work. ie: giga and utah, or rex and utah. but in that case, just log out and wait 15 mins. theyll get bored and leave.
or report em lol
also PSA windows 10 has a built-in gamebar recorder that records up to 2 hours of gameplay
Windows key+G, hit the record button, the first time you record it'll come up with a prompt to clarify that yes, this is a game
Wait
recording is actually exploitable?
How does recording, logging off, then checking it help find other people to kill?
oh
because you can see the entire map
I see
wait
why not just keep it first person then?
the free cam from recording allow for some nice screenshot
i agree with @jovial arch keep it first person and you can see players near by gamertags
the in-game recording shows players in your immediate area, so you could record, logout, look at the recording, find someone nearby, then log back in and go straight to them
can't see players at swamp if you're at great lake
no free cam at all, eliminates that issue
i swear most of people see the night here what i see https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/473677503849037834/526127478024962048/unknown.png
and here the sub with me what he can see https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/473677503849037834/526126452933001226/unknown.png
I mean, if free cam was delayed till 12 hours after the recording
there would be no problems
@violet magnet
Damn reshaders.
@real whale while i do agree the crashes are bad and need to be fixed, crashes are to be expected on the games testing branch
play main branch for less crashes 
^^^^^
If your playin on development branch you are accepting all the flaws and issues with the game
Thats how they fix them

why do people assume creatures definitely will have the burrowing mechanic
did a dev confirm it?
dryo getting another ability
https://www.twitch.tv/thedondi/clip/LuckyTenderDotterelBlargNaut?filter=clips&range=24hr&sort=time @wintry cipher
Psittaco has the burrowing ability already
ye, cute little thing
no i mean the map



Dryo will be the god of survivability
good lord XD that will be interesting to see
@still temple your borrowing suggestion is actually pretty good
my one issue though is you said kicking dirt as dryo might hinder attack from predators might allow you to escape
When in reality since there's only one exit
the predator can just sit at the entrance
and fuck you over
But is Dryo really worth camping the entrance
If you're a herrera trying to get in
yes
It also kind of connects back to Jaffad's Herrera suggestion where herrera would basically be a ferret going around and slinking into borrows/dens
i think my only issue is that only 1 dryo can fit into a den
That seems fine to me, Dryo's are pretty big.
^
i think at least 2 should be able to walk past each other in there
especially if its a pair that have decided to nest
Only 1 Dryo can fit at a time in the main run, the den can hold multiple @lament thorn
ah sweet
Basically the passageway to the main chamber is rly narrow
I just wanna see a dryo colony. Expanding the burrow for more dryos, and making exit tunnels 👀
Just walk into a field, and there's just a bunch of holes lol
@regal sapphire ye Dryo was iffy to make, cus realistically Sth like Dryo wouldn’t be able to burrow in the first place.
And thx, glad you liked the suggestion 😄
As for predator camping, I was thinking anything small enough to even manage to get into the Dryo burrow would also be vulnerable to Dryo’s regular attack
Anything larger would be stuck outside the burrow, and the few seconds of disabled attack caused by dryo’s dust kick would be enough time for Dryo to get out of the burrow and escape
Imo for a ferret Herrera to work, it would need to be made smaller and less chonky. The holotype size herrera would be good. Smaller herrera = less health = more vulnerable to Dryo attack, but much more nimble
yes please i want ferret herra
@deft garden read the rules
better yet read the channel descriptions
this channel exists for a reason
I would rather have maia be a little slower than utah
i mean even with these changes wouldn't it still have the same niche as giga?
So you have an ability which essentially turns Acro into a Giga for 30 secs?
Nyeh, I'm going back to the drawing board with this one.
@unborn quail I’m gonna have to disagree slightly with Maia, but tbh hadrosaurs need a new mechanic to be balanced
Oh
I actually like having Maia
There’s a lot more to work with having both
wait whaty
I like maia tbh
Uh, it outspeeds utah
Utah also out maneuvers it
Yes
But
I feel like it should be a tad slower
IMO tho hadrosaurs need acceleration
And a new mechanic with it
Acceleration solves any issue witht hem being faster
Hence why I left Para as is
Speed won't matter much with acceleration
Oh the new para speed is great
That and Maia should have the ability to flee a utah Pack
I’m 100% on board with you
It being slower, it wouldn't
Yeah
It’s kinda hard to solve the issue
With just toying with speed
Bruh
My niche document is up to 39 pages
I’m doing a complete revision

^
Stamina regeneration while trotting
Dilo has less stamina, but can regenerate it quicker then an Allo if in a prolonged chase
That and if my speeds are taken into account, No amount of stamina will allow an allo to catch a dilo
Same kinda goes now, Unless it's running in a straight line
It should be fine
✅
Dibble should've always been Prey for the mid tiers period, Apexes have no business running them down, Kinda the reason no one plays them
Good stamina regen or not, It won't save you from a determined giga
Yeah, it’s okay for them to die to ambushes
But the way they are rn

They don’t even beat Allo in a 1 v 1
Uh
It’s a battle of one hit
If Allo gets one more hit
Allo wins
But you can win a head on with one more hit
And if you screw up at 5 hits
You just walk away
Better safe then sorry.
Yeah
Not to mention once locational damage exists
5 hits
Precisely 5 hits
5 hits to 4 hits, dibble dies Allos lives
Uh
Bleed
It’s all about waiting
It’ll take ~6-8 minutes
But the Allo will win
It’s the same thing with Giga vs trike, actually
5 hits off Giga downs the trike
But you need a one hit advantage or you need it to only stomp you
Bleed is honestly pretty stupid
fights should be short and brutal imo
it would give people incentive to not want to turn the isle into a combat experience
Yes
Standing there for 15 minutes
Waiting for thectrike to die
It’s pretty fucking stupid
No
once trike has its gore thing that wont be an issue methinks
it should be less outright damage, more debuff
i think the purpose of bleed shouldnt be to kill your prey necessarily, but to weaken it to the point where it cant fight back sufficiently anymore
and tracking ofc
Wasn't bleed going to be reworked to something mainly used for tracking or something
that was just an idea tossed around
Ah
dondi was saying how he mightve wanted to make bleed dmg exclusive to giga and allo
and just tracking for everything else
This will be velos I think @cunning gulch
but that would be dumb imo
Why though? Have AI lay nests or something along with player nests
or anything else lol
literally anything can eat from nests
steal eggs
munch them
why would you need ovi for that
Debuff over dot would interesting
not all dinosaurs are ovivarious.
You don't need oviraptor
literally every carnivore is also ovivarious
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I had to
i repent thee
You can even argue for herbs eating eggs
When you have Velociraptor and maybe herrera and austro (unconfirmed)
yeah anything that wants to can eat em if they had reason
ex. eliminating competition, getting nutrients that are hard to ecquire ensewhere
etc.
herbivores could for sure eat em
ovi could be an omnivore or something, but it wouldnt be implemented any time soon


heresy
What else could Dibble get
A nice smile 
diablo is to trike what alberto is to rex

Devs probably have a plan 🤷
Dibble is playable though
