jovial arch
#

to attack carnivores

#

not just like

#

fight back

#

literally attack

#

which is quite literally what you're saying it should do

brisk mesa
#

There is lol.

jovial arch
#

it needs to attack carnivores

brisk mesa
#

Yes.

#

Bingo.

#

Look to modern day animals.

jovial arch
#

this is not balanced

#

in any way shape or form

brisk mesa
#

How is it any worse a herbivore to do it than a carnivore?

#

Also.

#

They are good against solo predators

valid zephyr
#

the cerotopsians and steg/anky should be the ones desiged to sit stationry and fight

brisk mesa
#

But hadrosaurs are fucked against packs

jovial arch
#

yes

brisk mesa
#

yes Comrade is correct

valid zephyr
#

hadrosaurs should be designed to run from larger things and drive off smaller things

brisk mesa
#

^^^^^

#

See them, make them fuck off.

jovial arch
#

that is exactly

brisk mesa
#

No your idea doesnt do that

jovial arch
#

what my system designs them to do

brisk mesa
#

it cucks them.

jovial arch
#

howso

#

you pulverize small dinos

brisk mesa
#

You cant driver off something if you cannot actually threaten them?

jovial arch
#

and easily escape bigger ones

#

ok so in a 1 v 1

brisk mesa
#

Hadrosaurs are like this: stellar against a lone predator, fucked against groups

#

Yes

#

1v1

#

Wtf lol.

jovial arch
#

brain went on fleek

brisk mesa
#

Have you seen Maia turn? Stamina pool?

jovial arch
#

I mean predator can't do shit

#

in a pack

brisk mesa
#

Yes, similarly sized predators dont fuck with them

jovial arch
#

you have a shot at running away

valid zephyr
#

dilo doesn't actually look designed to take on large herbis

brisk mesa
#

^^^^^

#

Dilo is like a viper.

valid zephyr
#

looks like it evolved to kill smaller prey at night

jovial arch
#

ok

brisk mesa
#

Its venom can be used to hunt but it is also defensive

valid zephyr
#

currently dilos can wipe entire trike herds

jovial arch
#

โœˆ

#

conversation just totally

#

derailed

#

so you guys think that dilo should hunt

brisk mesa
#

Threetails, it's quite simple.

jovial arch
#

smaller dinos?

brisk mesa
#

No.

#

Not me.

#

Can we continue Threetails

jovial arch
#

yes

brisk mesa
#

I'd like to make a point.

jovial arch
#

go

brisk mesa
#

Hadrosaurs are very, very obvious.

#

They have loud runs

#

calls

#

are very visible.

jovial arch
#

yes

brisk mesa
#

THATS where the balance should give lone predators an edge.

#

To be able to ambush them, or slip away unnoticed

#

You can hear and see them from quite a ways off.

#

Lone wolf sees a Moose before the Moose sees the wolf.

#

That's how it should be with Hadrosaurs.

jovial arch
#

so then

brisk mesa
#

The pack of wolves see the Moose and they surround and kill it.

jovial arch
#

you think that the current system of balance

#

is good and that maia should run down dilo easily

#

because the dilo should see the maia far away

#

or hear it

brisk mesa
#

The current system between hadrosaurs and their 'victims' in your eyes is good on paper but not well executed.

#

You should hear it, and evade it.

#

Maia sucks in forests

#

Its dogshit

#

Thats an open terrain animal.

#

Daylight is bad for Dilo

#

So it sticks to forests.

#

At night the Maia cannot see as far.

#

Boom.

#

Dilo can pick and chose if he actually wants to be seen by Maia.

#

Maia has piss stamina pool.

#

Flat out, only Trike is worse.

jovial arch
#

ok

#

i don't know anything about maia's stam

barren zephyr
#

except on v4 map the night time isn't dark enough for dilo to be at an advantage.

jovial arch
#

and i still don't think it's balanced

brisk mesa
#

Yeah night time needs to be fixed

#

it's about to be tho

#

so hang tight Eevee

#

Dondi said they about to make it dark

barren zephyr
#

hope so, cause it's making dilo obsolete lol

brisk mesa
#

XD

jovial arch
#

I think matchups should be about skill, and that there should be a chance to escape or win on all dinos

brisk mesa
#

Yes.

jovial arch
#

it shouldn't be a

#

it sees me

#

im dead

brisk mesa
#

Cue Hyper Rex

valid zephyr
#

still think my suggestion of linking stam drain to food and water would solve it. if the maia chases a dilo down across the map then it drains its food and water, and gains nothing from the chase

brisk mesa
#

Sees you and you die.

#

Comrade

#

You fuck their ability to travel

#

or run away.

jovial arch
#

ok, well, hypos were never meant to be balanced

naive helm
#

Maia already using up it's stamina is punishment enough

brisk mesa
#

Also it only fucks groups.

#

I personally think, sprinting attack could cost stamina.

#

And inflict recoil.

#

Boom.

jovial arch
#

how does this change

brisk mesa
#

It will attack to open an escape route

#

Or chase something off.

jovial arch
#

ok

naive helm
#

Also everyone says the night is bright on V3 but y'all just have weird gamma I can barely see anything ๐Ÿ˜‚

brisk mesa
#

Threetails do you remember Progression?

jovial arch
#

attacks costing stam

#

maybe

#

no

brisk mesa
#

Healing for dinosaurs took a long time.

#

Like

valid zephyr
#

night on v3 is too light, on thenyaw it's too dark

jovial arch
#

to balance it you'd have to cripple damage

brisk mesa
#

You did dumb shit and you lived with that for a while.

jovial arch
#

for hadrosaurs

brisk mesa
#

Lmfao no?

jovial arch
#

if they just killed things in 2-3 hits

#

doesn't matter if stam drains

#

and they do

brisk mesa
#

I'm saying stam drain + recoil

#

No Threetails

naive helm
#

Yes it does. If they miss those hits they can't run away anymore

brisk mesa
#

10-20min isnt a while.

jovial arch
#

ok wait I'm not sure how taking damage solves anything

brisk mesa
#

Progression an hour was decent healing.

jovial arch
#

maia still runs you down, 3 shots you, and then heals off bleed

#

now it just has some more damage

brisk mesa
#

But he's lost HP.

jovial arch
#

so what

#

he's not dead

brisk mesa
#

And every hit he landed costed stamina

jovial arch
#

he's not dead or even close

brisk mesa
#

But if he does it again in a short timeframe

split notch
#

Maia can heal dilo bleed?

brisk mesa
#

He's vulnerable.

jovial arch
#

easily

#

maia can heal 100 bleed

#

if it sits

#

only if it sits

brisk mesa
#

Threetails your situation seems to 100% be "my Dilo died to Maia plz nerf"

jovial arch
#

not at all

brisk mesa
#

Your idea of making them dependant on standing is an ultra mega nerf.

jovial arch
#

but they're not

#

they can still win a 1 v 1

brisk mesa
#

ATM they are dangerous to smaller things.

jovial arch
#

easily

brisk mesa
#

LOL

#

Threetails

jovial arch
#

and they can still run away

brisk mesa
#

Fight me

jovial arch
#

easily

brisk mesa
#

I wont run.

jovial arch
#

on one hand, ok, but on the other hand

brisk mesa
#

Hadrosaurs are basically Deer/Elk/Moose.

jovial arch
#

doesn't really apply

brisk mesa
#

That's the entirety of them.

jovial arch
#

I'm talking about a complete stat rebalance

brisk mesa
#

Hell throw in horses as well.

jovial arch
#

not just one system

brisk mesa
#

That;s still pointless XD

jovial arch
#

one system won't cut it for balance

#

look

#

a maia won't lose to a dilo

#

if it kills it in two hits

brisk mesa
#

It will, because you won't land any of those.

#

And get surrounded by Dilos.

split notch
#

This is the first i've heard about maia being powerful

jovial arch
#

then you run

#

if there are a lot of dilos

#

you run

#

i don't think we disagree

brisk mesa
#

It's because it isnt powerful

#

Its only good against Dilo.

jovial arch
#

ok

brisk mesa
#

And it makes Threetails mad upset.

jovial arch
#

maia gets stomped by carno

brisk mesa
#

And allo.

jovial arch
#

and it stomps dilo

naive helm
#

I'm just amazed how the Maia isn't bleeding to death whole trying to hit the dilo. Is it standing and dilo trying to facetank it?

jovial arch
#

bro

split notch
#

Stomped is an understatement lmao

jovial arch
#

why are you always throwing shade

#

like

#

I'm just trying to discuss with you

brisk mesa
#

I'm incredulous you, who wants to balance things

jovial arch
#

yes

brisk mesa
#

Somehow cannot grasp that this is a horrible idea.

jovial arch
#

I think maia vs carno is unfair

#

i also think maia vs dilo is unfair

brisk mesa
#

I'm throwing shade bc my respect for you dropped.

jovial arch
#

i'm shocked

valid zephyr
#

going a tad off topic now

jovial arch
#

you think that it is fair

brisk mesa
#

I held you in high esteem but you are basically wanting Maia and Para to be flat out inoffensive.

naive helm
#

Threetails just try playing Maia for a while and you'll understand how needless that nerf is

brisk mesa
#

Maia takes 2 times bleeding damage when running.

jovial arch
#

yes

#

I don't think that's how it should be

#

i think it should have a much lower speed scaling than it does rn

brisk mesa
#

It has one of the lowest runtimes

jovial arch
#

i think it should be able to run away

brisk mesa
#

Its very loud

#

it turns badly

#

and you tend to miss a lot of hits.

jovial arch
#

yes

#

im not saying maia doesn't need a complete rebalance

#

in fact

brisk mesa
#

Grow a Maia, before you proclaim a need to nerf it

jovial arch
#

I actually think most things needs a rebalance

#

and I never said to nerf maia

#

to be fair

brisk mesa
#

Your idea is 100% a nerf.

jovial arch
#

you don't have the whole context

brisk mesa
#

You want it to deal heavily reduced damage when sprinting.

#

Then don't propose a solution to a problem if the context isn't there to back it up???

#

That's like me saying "OK GUYS I found a way to fix the justice system" and my solution would only make sense if I also bothered to mention my overhaul to the prison system.

#

And outside of it

jovial arch
#

ok

#

fair enough

brisk mesa
#

Sound like a banana republic kind of jig

jovial arch
#

might as well just put the topic off then

split notch
#

Where did this maia kill you anyhow?

#

An open field? Forest?

brisk mesa
#

Maia is useless in a forest.

jovial arch
#

I've only ever been killed by a maia once

brisk mesa
#

And break their legs all the time on hillsides

jovial arch
#

and i was already bleeding out

split notch
#

The leg breaking

jovial arch
#

you guys seems to all be under the impression I'm salty about being killed

split notch
#

Fall like 0.5foot and your leg goes

naive helm
#

Yeah I'm also wondering if the maia was 1.0 and Threetails wasn't

jovial arch
#

which isn't the case at all

brisk mesa
#

You see a problem that doesn't exist.

jovial arch
#

I've been maining carno

#

for the last

#

month or two

#

lol

brisk mesa
#

Maia is basically the Elk of this game.

#

Para is basically the Moose of this game.

coarse shell
#

really fat elk

naive helm
#

Then why did you bring up Maia vs. dilo if you don't even know the reality of that matchup?

brisk mesa
#

Wait no, Maia is a horse, breaks their legs

naive helm
#

Lol

jovial arch
#

I do know the reality of the matchup

#

maia outturns, outruns, three shots, and then heals off the bleed

split notch
#

Out turns?

jovial arch
#

i know because i've tested it

brisk mesa
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

jovial arch
#

twice

naive helm
#

Maia? Out-turning?

jovial arch
#

yes

#

it does

#

wanna test?

brisk mesa
#

Maybe outurning Carno

#

Sure

#

I've been waiting to test w/u for a hot min

#

I'll go Maia

jovial arch
#

nah

naive helm
#

Please share the results. I'm not at my computer right now but this topic interests me

jovial arch
#

do you not think maia out turns dilo?

#

then go dilo

naive helm
#

"wanna test?"
"Ok let's test"
"Nah"

brisk mesa
#

Why do I go Dilo?

#

XD

languid ember
#

their turn is basically the same

#

i just tested

jovial arch
#

^

#

it is

#

lol

brisk mesa
#

It doesn't out turn then now does it?

#

And Maia is bigger.

#

So an equal turn is, infact, worse.

jovial arch
#

ok, but there's no chance for outplay

#

unless the maia

#

actually

brisk mesa
#

"outplay"

jovial arch
#

doesn't have a brain

#

you are dead

#

period

naive helm
#

Run into the maia's ass, bite, run away

jovial arch
#

there is nothing you can do

brisk mesa
#

maybe consider Dilo isnt meant to kill Maia 1v1?

jovial arch
#

lol vepe

#

you wanna test?

naive helm
#

Nah

jovial arch
#

there's literally nothing you can do

brisk mesa
#

It can heal the bleed if it rests and doesnt run around.

jovial arch
#

you can't run

#

you might as well

#

sit down

#

and tab out

brisk mesa
#

Dilo either needs to get into a treeline

steady cosmos
#

you can easily bleed a maia out

brisk mesa
#

LOL.

steady cosmos
#

as a dilo

brisk mesa
#

Its called

#

run for the trees

jovial arch
#

i mean

#

you can drop the tree agrument

steady cosmos
#

maias dont handle bleed at all

naive helm
#

Yeah like if you sit down mid battle uhh you're dead

jovial arch
#

they have 50 bleed heal while sitting

#

well

#

maias handle bleed pretty well

naive helm
#

They can't attack while sitting down you know

jovial arch
#

and plus

#

they three shot dilos

#

the fight is over

#

in >15 seconds

naive helm
#

They can't heal bleed while fighting

jovial arch
#

unless the maia is trash

steady cosmos
#

Well, if you cant win a battle. Dont fight it.

#

keep an eye out for the things you cant fight

jovial arch
#

but you can't run

#

either

naive helm
#

Dilo only needs to get one hit in to get the bleed going and then keep the Maia up

split notch
#

Don't be seen

jovial arch
#

BaLaNcE

violet magnet
#

"I've been maining carno
for the last
month or two"

"I do know the reality of the matchup
i know because i've tested it"

there have been stat rebalances since then...

jovial arch
#

possibly

#

I'm willing to test the matchup

steady cosmos
#

balance between maia and dilo?

jovial arch
#

but i seriously doubt it's balanced

naive helm
#

Watt has been trying to get you to test like three times already

jovial arch
#

yeah

languid ember
#

im on fallen kingdom dm three, jump on and we'll do it, or anyone else doesn't matter

jovial arch
#

i said I would

#

thnx

naive helm
#

You said nah when he last asked ๐Ÿ˜‚

jovial arch
#

no i didn't

#

i said I wanted to play as maia

#

and he refused

steady cosmos
#

Is this maia vs carno or maia vs dilo

#

me has to know

naive helm
#

Maia vs dilo

steady cosmos
#

bad matchup

languid ember
#

you be maia then three i'll be dilo

steady cosmos
#

maia has the weight advantage

jovial arch
#

im here

naive helm
#

Now we wait for the results

jovial arch
#

well

#

there's no alt turn

languid ember
#

so i'll just try to escape or what we doing?

jovial arch
#

that's okay tho

#

you can try to escape, fight back, whatever you want

languid ember
#

aight

#

ngl that alt turn kinda fucked me there

jovial arch
#

tbh it's kind of dumb

#

without alt turn

#

yeah

#

lets find a server with alt turn

languid ember
#

okay

jovial arch
#

oh yeah, maia still 3 shots dilo

#

ima hop on risen

languid ember
#

okay

jovial arch
#

let me check

#

no alt turn

#

wait

brisk mesa
#

lol

jovial arch
#

nvm

#

has alt turn

#

here first try to escape

languid ember
#

lol

jovial arch
#

i easily out turn you

#

it's pathetic

#

out easy it was

#

for me to kill him

#

lol

#

like

steady cosmos
#

How does maia handle dilos mass bleeding

jovial arch
#

no amount of kill

#

skill

#

is going to help

#

you are dead

#

it's fucking stupid how lopsided this matchup is

languid ember
#

let me start with two bites on you then u start to run after me, see if the bleed res even does anything to you

jovial arch
#

ok

brisk mesa
#

Curious as to how you guys are testing whatever you defined as escaping

jovial arch
#

im not even

#

second crit

#

fuck

steady cosmos
#

Maia against dilo is kinda supposed to be lopsided

languid ember
#

there's seriously not a way in hell to escape

brisk mesa
#

It's called dont get close to the really loud Maia

jovial arch
#

this is so one sided

brisk mesa
#

that has a very distinct run

jovial arch
#

it's ridiculous

brisk mesa
#

and can only exist in open terrain

steady cosmos
#

There is no skill to chasing someone as a maia

jovial arch
#

i don't think any matchups like this should exist

steady cosmos
#

but there is skill in avoiding said maia

brisk mesa
#

So Juvi shouldnt rape Taco

jovial arch
#

there should be skill involved in this game

#

it shouldn't just be

naive helm
#

But see there's no balance if any dino can't have a chance against any other dino

#

The skill is "know your targets"

jovial arch
#

someone sees me

#

im dead

brisk mesa
#

no, use terrain m8.

split notch
#

You can avoid being seen

brisk mesa
#

Maia is dogshit in a forest.

#

Also.

#

You can ambush if you see him before he rushes you.

#

He cant do that.

#

Herbivore speeds are constant

languid ember
#

hop on death row thenyaw sandbox three, see if a forest matters

jovial arch
#

ok, dilo might be able to kill maia if he puts him to max bleed

brisk mesa
#

^^^

steady cosmos
#

I doubt you'd escape even with ambush

jovial arch
#

ok im there

brisk mesa
#

You wouldnt per-se easily escape but gain enough of a margin / compensate for Maia's speed enough

naive helm
#

If you're far enough, Maria's stam may run out

brisk mesa
#

to get to a forest

jovial arch
#

game out of date

brisk mesa
#

Also yeah

languid ember
#

same, probably server

brisk mesa
#

Maia stam is atrocious

jovial arch
#

lets find a different sandbox server

brisk mesa
#

Uh

#

there's a sandbox V3 server I was on

#

gonna check the name

languid ember
#

arc arena

#

three

#

fuck, it's totally black night

jovial arch
#

that's ok

#

wait

#

nvm

#

can't navigate

steady cosmos
#

One on one combat between maia and dilo is a bad matchup

languid ember
#

devils monarchy then

steady cosmos
#

Maia will always win in any situation where it sees and wants to aggress on the dilo

#

Against multiple might change the tide however

jovial arch
#

yes

steady cosmos
#

dilo is an extremely efficient pack hunter

jovial arch
#

3-4 dilos can kill a maia

languid ember
#

where did you spawn three

naive helm
#

So if Maia three shots dilo, two dilos can just run through it to get at least two bites in ๐Ÿค”

split notch
#

So Dilo vs Maia is like Dryo vs Galli then?

steady cosmos
#

Depends on more factors

#

if you're going to hunt a maia you might want to do it at night

jovial arch
#

i don't know where i am lol

#

oh im up near sanctuary

steady cosmos
#

Hunting at night and in a pack allows dilos to confuse people ez

#

Especially if its more than 2

naive helm
#

Yeah surprise attack with 1 dilo that the maia then focuses on and the other one gets a hit in right after means they'll have 2 kamikazes left too

jovial arch
#

wait

#

i lied

#

im at trips

languid ember
#

go to pp

brisk mesa
#

wait 4 me Im gonna spectate lol

languid ember
#

i've played so much carno lately dilo is starting to feel slow as balls

jovial arch
#

welp, im at pp

#

running only 30 fps tho

languid ember
#

i'm almost there

jovial arch
#

this comp can't handle the map

#

we wait for why watt

violet magnet
#

lower settings?

jovial arch
#

all lower except render distance

violet magnet
#

my PC for some reason can run v3 on smooth 60fps but stutters and lags on thenyaw

jovial arch
#

which is on epic

#

tbh this computer

#

is a potato

brisk mesa
#

So they just tested

#

Two perfectly plausible scenarios

#

Dilo EASILY escapes.

jovial arch
#

ok

brisk mesa
#

Even from close up

jovial arch
#

so

brisk mesa
#

if it say, emmerges from the treeline.

jovial arch
#

a dilo can escape

brisk mesa
#

Easily lol

jovial arch
#

depending upon the range it sees the maia from

brisk mesa
#

He flexed a little

#

You were really close that 2nd time.

jovial arch
#

that second time i actually followed him back

#

yeah

#

but

#

then i got stuck lmao

brisk mesa
#

Getting stuck as Maia is part of the struggle

#

Para is far more dangerous in forested areas / hills.

#

Maia is far more dangerous in open terrain

#

Para is a goddamn moose, aint gonna snap his leg and he is agile, Maia is like some freaking horse that forgot how to turn, snaps his legs but moves faster

jovial arch
#

Maias turn isn't that bad, he's just fat

#

if you run into something

#

you stick

#

cause it's super hard to turn off it

languid ember
#

i'd say making dilos bb resistance better, so it can safely go on slopes a maia will snap on

brisk mesa
#

^^^^^

split notch
#

It seems the solution here is to stick to forests

jovial arch
#

I actually had to do a full u turn

brisk mesa
#

That's a fair solution as well.

jovial arch
#

to get off the tree

#

well

brisk mesa
#

Ikr hadyn

#

it's almost like we'eve said it for like, an hour.

#

On test level

#

yes Maia rapes Dilo.

jovial arch
#

I still think it's lopsided

brisk mesa
#

I mean, yes it is, but some matches are naturally so.

#

Maia is loud and MUSt stay in open areas.

jovial arch
#

I think matchups are generally too lopsided

brisk mesa
#

So as a Dilo, in daytime, the matchup doesnt exist.

jovial arch
#

carno vs maia is too lopsided

#

maia vs dilo is too lopsided

brisk mesa
#

I havent actually hunted a Maia as Carno

#

cant test rn

jovial arch
#

it's bad

split notch
#

Both inhabit the same environment and come into contact way more often

brisk mesa
#

my internet is super duper fucked

languid ember
#

skin system might help dilo a bit too, it's small and quiet yes, but the thing is fucking purple

brisk mesa
#

True that

#

xD

jovial arch
#

carno just outruns maia so easily

#

and it just needs to wait

brisk mesa
#

and Maia is a big juicy boy

languid ember
#

yeh maia is fucked vs a carno

jovial arch
#

as long as the carno has patience maia is done

split notch
#

If a dilo sticks to a forest it should be fine. Only time i'd imagine dilo and maia would even come into contact is if one party went into an area they are not well suited for

languid ember
#

but two maias can fuck a carno real bad

jovial arch
#

yes

brisk mesa
#

Maia is reliant on herds.

#

Like Shant.

#

Its turn inhbits their solo survival

leaden night
#

I've never seen another Maia in-game

jovial arch
#

still tho, it's kind of dumb that even if you do everything right

leaden night
jovial arch
#

if a carno sees you

#

you might just be dead

#

period

brisk mesa
#

Once again, some matches just be like that and it creates an ecosystem.

#

Where X dino keeps another in check

languid ember
#

but that's an issue with carno being good at things it shouldn't be

jovial arch
#

^

brisk mesa
#

true.

jovial arch
#

it's unintended

#

and it screws up gameplay

brisk mesa
#

Giga keeps Allo in check

#

Without Gigas Allos would be like goddamn locusts

jovial arch
#

yes

leaden night
#

It's more invalidates atm

languid ember
#

not on v3

jovial arch
#

but i would say giga vs allo is somewhat more balanced

brisk mesa
#

That's because of the buffed stamina / reduced growth

#

It's too much tbf.

#

If he was still 7hrs

#

It would be allright

jovial arch
#

in that if the allo sees the giga before the giga can ambush the allo can 10/10 escape

brisk mesa
#

Bc multiple Allos would reach adulthood

languid ember
#

i see a ton more allos on V3 than on thenyaw, because they can more reliably escape/spot gigas

brisk mesa
#

before 1 Giga does

jovial arch
#

also

#

allo is much better for v3

#

it needs less food

brisk mesa
#

yeah

#

stamina matters a lot

jovial arch
#

^

brisk mesa
#

and needing less food is amazing

#

So for example, on Thenyaw Giga outclasses Acro injections, outright.

#

Because there isnt really much space to run away.

languid ember
#

but you know, giga needs to be removed from the game unless allo is faster than giga ambush so it can't kill itdondiWeSmart

brisk mesa
#

goddammit those people make me cringe

languid ember
#

they make me cry

#

For some people it seems giga will be broken as long as it can kill mid tiers

jovial arch
#

I only recently realized allo ambush is 27

#

to be fair that really only changes speed differentials

#

but like

#

i thought it was 25

leaden night
#

The problem is how some midtiers just get raped by it

#

Like Dibble

jovial arch
#

dibble is a steak with legs

leaden night
#

Dibble gets outstammed and outsped while being doomed by one bite

clever leaf
#

its also considering the fact that allo is really only a tad faster than giga

#

and that giga can easily catch allo with an ambush

leaden night
#

You are dead if a Giga sees you

#

Nothing you can do

clever leaf
#

without allo having any chance to escape

jovial arch
#

giga's ambush is too long

#

tbh all ambushes are too long

languid ember
#

can someone go on dm with me, i wanna test how far away an allo has to be to escape a giga ambushing

jovial arch
#

sure

#

gimme 5

#

2

#

just gotta log out

languid ember
#

kk, im on fallen again

jovial arch
#

should i go allo

#

or giga

languid ember
#

im giga currently

#

u gotta actually run three lol

jovial arch
#

lets

#

position ourselves

#

to run down

#

this thingy

languid ember
#

this distance ok?

jovial arch
#

yup

#

im p sure

#

you catch me

languid ember
#

now i wonder if people actually run when a giga ambushes

#

that was not as far away as people make it seem like it catches allo and i was still two giga lenghts behind

jovial arch
#

wait a minute

#

let me try something

#

ok

#

try to get me

languid ember
#

LOL

jovial arch
#

ok

#

i tried to measure out 27 m

#

which is approximately what giga needs to catch allo

#

i think i need to measure from your feet tho

languid ember
#

and i still didn't get you

jovial arch
#

i measured from your head

#

ok

#

here

languid ember
#

i'll rape you from that distance lol

#

but let's go

jovial arch
#

that was more precise

languid ember
#

ye, i got u there

jovial arch
#

but yeah

#

measuring 27m from the feet you catch me

languid ember
#

is this "GIga can ambush allo from across a damn field"??

#

the fuck

jovial arch
#

well i mean

#

if it's pp

#

and you're taking it width wise

#

i guess

we're just continuing the convo, not related to a suggestion

originally

dilo vs maia

tied to comrade jenkin's

that was where this all started

Ah

yo

wanna turn test

languid ember

brisk mesa
#

@thorny lynx You used to be able to but they removed it because it caused issues & could be exploited

thorny lynx
#

I know we used to be able to... What were the issues and exploits?

silver dagger
#

I remember people turning down their quality to make bushes not render so they could see you hiding at a distance.

thorny lynx
#

Ohhhh, that.

swift mesa
#

I think people still do that sadly.

barren zephyr
#

Mine does that on thenyaw but not v3

#

Not on purpose my GPU is just trash

silver dagger
#

Then people used to see at night by changing their post processing I think, which now they try to exploit reshading or something which I think is something separate from the game and has to do with your monitor?

last remnant
#

Dev kit is coming back for the person who made that suggestion

swift mesa
#

Sweet

#

And @silver dagger I think your right. I believe it does have to do with the monitor but don't quote me on that though.

warped harbor
#

No point in suggesting something that is already planned

last remnant
#

I donโ€™t think he knew

warped harbor
#

Everywhere you look screams for modding though

#

Wouldn't make sense if they weren't adding it back

#

(The steam forums have a modding subforum, this discord has #401466138208370689 , heck, there's a literal workshop too)

swift mesa
#

Wait what happened?

warped harbor
swift mesa
#

Oh I thought I got in trouble.

warped harbor
#

Not at all, don't even know how that'd be possible

swift mesa
#

Idk either I was just confused I guess.

silver dagger
#

It isn't like they wanted to remove modding in the first place.

warped harbor
#

But damn do I wish it was still a thing

silver dagger
#

Maybe part of the code overhaul that's upcoming.

mental sleet
#

we should get an answer, seeing as its 100+ vote

warped harbor
#

No doubt in that

brisk mesa
#

@lone crypt locational damage will basically make regions like your tail take no damage

#

@lone crypt alt turn exists for a reason

#

and lastly, I agree Trex should grow in 6hrs.

#

BC especially on dev branch, it's not worth it compared to the GOD that is Giga....

#

given Rex got a big fucking nerf.

lone crypt
#

Too many controls, the gameplay shouldnโ€™t be as tricky as the gameplay itself

brisk mesa
#

what/

zenith ledge
#

What

lone crypt
#

Alt turn

brisk mesa
#

That's 1 button.

#

Hold it + A/D

#

thats like, as complex as Shift + W

zenith ledge
brisk mesa
#

to sprint forwards

#

and less complex than Shift + W +A/D

#

to turn while sprinting

#

granted

zenith ledge
#

It's too much to ask that you use a keyboard and a mouse

viral creek
#

Alt turn is pretty easy to use

brisk mesa
#

it's more complex than W to trot forwards

lone crypt
#

While trying to focus on moving, the screen, biting, and keeping an eye on the Utah with its claws up your ass? I donโ€™t think so

normal fern
#

Not for some apparently

zenith ledge
#

Sounds like it's coming down to your personal skill in that case

brisk mesa
#

The Utah basically does not damage per individual hit.

viral creek
#

Then that's a personal problem

brisk mesa
#

Turn around

#

and obliterate it.

zenith ledge
#

You're gonna be in for a trip once the combat overhaul happens

brisk mesa
#

I mean Jurassicore, we have absolutely no idea how complex the 'overhaul' will be.

#

It probably will mainly be integrating mechanics.

#

And not adding a ton more to clutter your keybindings.

normal fern
#

@lone crypt think of it like this, there is no difference between two adult rexes on an official server. So if I or any other person can keep something off my back with alt turn, why cant you?

zenith ledge
#

It's rather likely that it'll make things more complex than either assbiting or alt-turn face tanking

brisk mesa
#

That would result from things such as locational damage, trample, armor etc

#

Oh? You're an amputee?

zenith ledge
#

But if you're having trouble with the barebones ass combat the game has atm, any additional complexity is just going to give you an even harder time

barren zephyr
#

I hope it gets more complex

lone crypt
#

No, I just fucked with the wrong type of turtle

brisk mesa
#

Ouch

lone crypt
#

s n a p p e r

brisk mesa
#

Yeah.

#

I've fucked with those before.

#

So which digit are you missing from your left hand?

lone crypt
#

Pinky

#

I thought the thing was stuck in between two rocks, didnโ€™t see the head, didnโ€™t know it was a snapper, took the finger right off

brisk mesa
#

How do you hold your left hand over your keyboard normally?

lone crypt
#

The same way anyone else would, but my ring finger in place of my pinky

brisk mesa
#

Ow

#

that feels really akward

lone crypt
#

My big hands compensate for it tho

brisk mesa
#

A

#

ok

#

I have lady hands im a guy tho

#

Use your thumb for alt then

lone crypt
#

Iโ€™ll try it

brisk mesa
#

I gather you are using your index to hit a & d?

lone crypt
#

Yes

#

And I have my space key binded to sprint

brisk mesa
#

Yeah, so even I, with all 5 fingers

#

Hm

mighty girder
#

@leaden path The Dev kit shouldn't be worked on until the game is near done, as working on both fixing it and keeping it working does nothing but slow down actual game progress. No good Game relies on mods to be good, why should TI be any different? Change my mind on any of those points.

brisk mesa
#

Perhaps hold your hand higher up, fingers pointed down, so your ring finger taps left shift

#

have your middle over W

lone crypt
#

Cuz I use W to move, and then sprint with space key, and I really donโ€™t use jumping do no worries there

brisk mesa
#

thumb over alt

#

middle over W

lone crypt
#

Iโ€™m getting a prosthetic one soon so thatโ€™ll make things easier

mighty girder
#

Especially since all people did with dev kit was fuck with numbers (stat mods are extremely easy and were a waste of mod space) create cringey admin dinos, or in the rare case you'd see a good map/skin mod

barren zephyr
#

Never thought I would ever suggest this but a controller my be better in this situation

lone crypt
#

Donโ€™t have one

#

reeeeee

brisk mesa
#

I'd take a pic of my hand to show what I mean but

#

I don't even have a phone lol.

lone crypt
#

Iโ€™ve become really good at the game depth, and Iโ€™m okay at primal carnage, so Iโ€™ll get used to the isle

#

In those games, all I have to worry about is moving, sprinting, and attacking

brisk mesa
#

The only issue I'm finding with my proposed hand orientation

#

is your index sliding under your middle to swap from D to A if you need to make a turn

#

is slightly slower than it would otherwise be

#

but I'm sure you'd get muscle memory to pull it off efficiently in no time

#

But if you are using large dinosaurs, it shouldn't be an issue given you arent juking like a Utah or Galli

lone crypt
#

well I still have a piece of the pinky, I still have the piece of the finger connecting to the knuckle, but the other joint upwards from that is gone

brisk mesa
#

Hm, well considering that you could just bind sprinting back to default

#

and have your thumb go down on alt

lone crypt
brisk mesa
#

Ye

lone crypt
#

So I can still reach some keys with my left hand

brisk mesa
#

*left pinky

lone crypt
#

*left hand alone

#

**left pinky alone

brisk mesa
#

XD

lone crypt
#

Iโ€™m not 100% comfortable with showing my hands (Iโ€™m also a guy and havenโ€™t cut my nails in a while so itโ€™s kinda ugly)

brisk mesa
#

That's fine

#

Alt turn @rare shoal

rare shoal
#

this would have been helpful to know last night. sorry for being retarded

warped harbor
#

Back tracking will probably be a thing later

#

Movement and combat in general are getting a rework

severe sequoia
warped harbor
#

I expect alt turn to be replaced, but I hope it stays

#

As a small souvenir of the ole times

#

The more movement types we have the more possibilities of techniques there will be

warm ridge
#

Ye

jovial arch
#

@verbal acorn it does

#

Like

#

Itโ€™s not a juvie Cerato

#

But it beats pretty much every other juvie out there

#

Fresh spawn itโ€™s pretty shit

#

But all juvies are shit fresh spawn

barren zephyr
#

a fresh juvie giga has the best bite out of all the fresh spawns

jovial arch
#

^

coarse shell
#

juv dilo is a juvie murderer until it gets to a juv giga

#

so yea

jovial arch
#

Yeah

coarse shell
#

besides cera

jovial arch
#

Like, once I got a proper ambush on a big juvie Giga as a juvie Dilo

#

And I got like 5 hits off

#

And then it turned around and almost oneshot me

#

I tried to run

#

And it chased me down and killed me with bite 2

#

I think I was like ~5.9

#

Juvie Giga isnโ€™t a pushover to other juvies

#

But in terms of survivability it probs has the worst being so brightly colored and slow and bad at traveling and also hungry

coarse shell
#

i like juv gigas stam cuz it slowly gets more as it grows with each stage and i like that part but still needs a buff somewhere around there

jovial arch
#

Yeah

#

The thing is actually immobile as fuck

#

You canโ€™t go anywhere

#

And since the little guy is pretty hungry

#

Itโ€™s a pain

verbal acorn
#

Then give the juvi Giga a tight turn and call it even

leaden path
#

sorry @mighty girder

#

I wasnt home when you sent that

#

though I do agree with your point. The Isle had a larger community when the dev kit was there. Sure actual game progress was slower than it is today, but people enjoyed it more, the game was more fun and functional in some ways. If or when it's added back will increase the amount of players and possibly will encourage old players (who moved on to games like BoB) to come back, as The Isle can have things different or better than things that BoB already has.

naive helm
#

@storm steeple how to differentiate that from just being logging out and suddenly you're attacked with like 10 or 6 secs left and you want to log out dondiThink ?

leaden night
#

Dryo attacks Triceratops while its logging

#

Man loses Triceratops

steady cosmos
#

I thought that you still kept bleed and damage when you are logging.

#

Even if you safe log.

leaden night
#

You do

steady cosmos
#

I think you should still be able to safe log safely even if you are under attack.

#

I do find it scummy to log out in the middle of being hunted, or just keeping your safelog timer always complete just in case.

#

people who do that are the lowest of low.

#

@storm steeple Instead of that, I'd suggest making it so the safelog timer resets after a specific time

#

of you being in it

#

otherwise if they quicklog in the middle of battle you should be able to easily kill them while their body is still there.

#

I think 5 seconds, after the safelog timer has been completed, it should reset.

#

that wouldn't fix all the problems but it would make it so people who leave it up, just in case they are attacked, cant just easily log when they're attacked

barren zephyr
#

I would never be able to log out. I don't pay that much attention to the timer lol. Guess I would have to if they add that.

steady cosmos
#

In general the isle is a game where attention is awarded

barren zephyr
#

It is a good idea though

#

Yeah I die alot

steady cosmos
#

As stated earlier people really don't like to pay attention, so they leave their safelog timers up to cook and be ready when they hear something. Its the most scummy thing to do.

barren zephyr
#

Or just make it automatically log you out after the timer expires.

steady cosmos
#

That might cause more problems, but it would still get rid of that problem XD

#

that sounds really good actually.

storm steeple
#

I like the idea @steady cosmos better than my original one

steady cosmos
#

@static compass Id say thats like adding in a new dino that has no use but making it playable. I think if they added small fish, they should just be simple ai.

static compass
#

idk about you but i still play ai :^)

#

and it wouldnt hurt to have it playable, for progression reasosns

#

thats why ai is playable isnt it?

leaden night
#

Progression reasons

steady cosmos
#

small fish?

#

also progression is obsolete

#

or at least the gamemode

#

why small fish

#

and what ones if so

static compass
#

idk D:

#

i just like fish ;;

steady cosmos

might want to ponder about that

@flat ice I dont think the species diffrentiating thing should be a part of that.

flat ice
#

well i mean if you're in a herd with your own species the buzzing is gonna kinda get annoying (admittedly it wouldn't be that loud in the first place) lol

#

or better yet the buzzing stops if you are grouped ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

i changed it ๐Ÿ˜›

barren zephyr
#

Pls no the buzzing and static you drive me nuts. I would turn sound off.

flat ice
#

@barren zephyr what about an inconsistent static? just like the visuals on v3 when nearing a building, they're not up constantly, but instead in short, seperated bursts?

barren zephyr
#

I stay away from those places because they are annoying. I would rather just be able to sniff out other dinos

flat ice
#

i suppose, i just figure it would add to the suspense/horror of the game, knowing that something is nearby, but not being able to tell what it is+ties into another mechanic

barren zephyr
#

Lol when I hear an ai spawn I get scared because they only seem to spawn when something tries to eat me

flat ice
#

well if you're a herbi the only time ai spawn is when a carnivore is nearby

barren zephyr
#

Yep

It's honestly not much.

#

You underrated that idea imo.

A lot of people who like, how shall we say, trolling?

#

Those who play a Dryo a lot

#

Or really wanna mess with Mercs when added

#

that shit would be their carnivore jab

#

*jam

#

Because it's all about actually reaching the thing to obtain the boosts

#

That relies on skill at being stealthy, and you only reap the reward if you pull off the heist.

#

It's a very unique style.

#

And for a presumably lower tier creature, that adds a further benefit to it, because it can afford being ballsy

#

Given if he dies, so what?

#

Perhaps throw in that boost after killing hatchlings?

#

Homewrecker incarnate.

#

That's a nice little Trex family, baby makes scream before getting gobbled.

the thing is if any dino gets added into the game people will want to play it and i feel like if that happens sandbox will become the dominant gamemode again

Like sandbox crazes have a very short half life.

Ok, so getting back onto that.

I really don't care if it's a Rugops filling that niche.

But its a fucking good niche imho.

It sounds like fun solo, with friends, and really all about taking risks and either getting clapped or it pays off.

#

It's a dinosaur I could also see having, well, interactions with tribals and mercs?

Imagine you JUST got your big Anti Hypo gun

and a fucking Rugops just

#

snatches it.

#

Tribal has some fucking mastercafted bow shit, all fancy

Rugops runs up on him and knocks him on his ass, takes it and bails.

That sounds like such a fucking funny / fun thing.

If it was a player ofc

Wow watt your suggestions get better every time ๐Ÿ˜„

compact coyote
#

like, i remember something being said about veloci stealing human items and storing it in its own little stash that could get accessed by humans if they follow it back to it

brisk mesa
#

A player based thing around stealing is far less problematic. I acknowledge an AI doing this would be dogshit

#

Fridge that sounds to me like, how to grief other Mercs:

#

lure over Velo

regal sapphire

It would be dogshit either way

steal their stuff from stash

Maybe you'll be less passive aggressive towards people.
