so hypos having to announce when they were online and which injection was being targeted...kinda defeats the purpose of hypos being a kind of injection population control
also, AI spawns;
possibly there seem to be more AI spawns in large groups because ai are set to spawn at a certain rate around individual players, and when the individual players group up there are just more ai spawning in that area because there are more "spawn cues" from the increased number of players
there'd probably have to be some kind of..."ai spawn override" that comes into play when you're in a group with or in the vicinity of another dino to prevent ai spawns from doubling up
I think Cama would be the best choice for a playable sauropod, as long as it was slightly larger than it is now. And making sauropods bullet resistant would be better than making them flat out bullet immune. That could even be Camas ability if it makes it into survival
Seems like a weird choice though, considering gigas would be able to rip of flesh and damage them yet a metal object flying at insane speeds would do nothing
not nothing just not insta kill
Even then
They have said they wanted realistic guns, so a shot to the neck would do some major damage
if sauropods were to be playable, then A.Need a way to survive gunfire, and B.Make them enjoyable
^
I find it hard to believe a sauropod can effectively survive a well placed shot to the head
surviving gunfire as a sauropod? pray that you dont encounter naked apes with boom sticks
lower the chance? wouldn't that in turn affect human gameplay negatively?
How so?
if the human player is able to aim properly, the game shouldnt punish the human just to make sauropod life easier
I never said that it wouldn't allow humans to aim, I'm saying make it harder for humans to get good aim on a sauropod
no need for the game to do that
Because you have redwood trees surrounding sauropods making it harder to find them and harder to kill from afar
sauropod players can make human players lives difficult by simply moving their asses out of range
no need for external game interference
i mean if humans can benefit from sauropods in some way that might make them playable
like using theyre dung to mask theyre scent or something
IDK
Even with sauropods moving out the way, you could still get a decent shot on it
Its not like sauropods are moving fast enough to avoid it
Not to mention in most cases like this sauropods wouldn't even know humans were near
You could be out in a field eating, and a human hidden in the trees nearby could aim and pull that trigger
that's the risk you pay for playing as a sauropod
and that applies to any other dinosaur
sauropod players can move near trees themselves
why would the game do it for them
It just directs towards doing it, and I'm pretty sure sauropod sized dinosaurs are gonna knock over trees
Pretty sure Dondi has said that on past streams
why not let players do it themselves then
being a big lumbering target naturally comes with its advantages and disadvantages
True
then again amunition will be limited and in order to take out a sauropod u would need to either get a headshot or unload on the neck, since i think the body might take the least damage
Even with that there would be the chance
Which would be pretty annoying if it did happen
It's also worth noting that a smart human player aren't gonna waste ammo on a big dino let alone one that means no harm at all, it be best used for them raptors. Sure, people will do it anyway since that's just human nature but they'll learn this in time.
sauropods can't move fast enough to get out of range once a human spots them
^
Also knowing some of the people who play TI there would be some people shooting at sauropods
i'm in a neutral position on playable sauropods
Same
if they get added, great, if not, not too bad either
I could care less, but I know there is people that want them
sauropods would only be effective against normal dinos minus giga
The problem with sauropods however, is the amount of food they give. We can't just have sauropods being slaughtered by humans as the whole map will be full of corpses
Aka, easy time as an apex carnivore
maybe upon the death of many sauropods a hypo would spawn due to the large amount of food laying around
Hypo player or Npc?
id say dinos should only get a hunger/water increase when theres a sort of "token" system that makes apexes harder to get rather than being able to choose one instantly
will you guys make another v3 server or increase the ammount of people there are in that one? its a fun map but so many people wanna play it and there is only 1 server.
Yea cus nobody ever says anything
uh
^
I just want peeps to see it
^^^^
your wish is already come true?
Hyper Spino does this.
uh
Only deva can play as h spino tho
for now
I mean normal spino
Well I’m just excited for the games future
just to try and get your bearings and figure out what's true and what isn't and what's coming and what isn't
convos get pretty volatile here pretty quickly
try to get in and stuff and learn
and dont repeat your suggestions
@vestal sequoia you might want to turn that into more of a suggestion and give reasons for it
@barren zephyr What do you mean by that? Would it, when broadcasting, drop it's coordinates to other Parasaurs?
It would kinda work like the compass, directing to individuals withing a certain range , could work as parasaur is intedent to be a herd animal allowing it to regroup if alone or just after evading predation, so yeah you got the idea, the drawback being you are ataracting unwanted attetion aswell
unless its made into a infrasound wave like pulse, invisible to all creatures minus para
ofc this would have a cooldown like scent
An understanding as to the kind of resistance properties going on for a Diablo during it's Short Fuse;
-If a Giga got close to a pair of Diablos to where they could both take advantage of it, likely the Giga is dead and one of them survives the ordeal, if the fight ended while the resistance buffs were active.
If Dibble have 1000cm/s, what for allo and dilo ? And how did a rex catch it? It's not really balanced and for me, dibble is absolutely not a shit. He is very strong. He can esay take down a allo 1v1 and her fast is good because he have a great stam and a good regen
@pulsar lake TBH I think every single dino needs to be looked at, because right now Diablo is free food for giga. Against allo its perfectly balanced. Allo is made redundant by giga. But 1000cm/s over a very short distance, as watt implied would be perfectly fine. But otherwise every single dinosaur needs to be rebalanced.
@pulsar lake Rex can't catch Dibble without being in head length anyway
@brisk mesa Also I would love to see the little carry we discussed a bit earlier along with this
a diablo should get rekt by a giga
but a rex should also catch up to it
if close enought
Friend of mine just killed like ... 5 gigas as a diablo >.>
But that's actually impossible unless the Gigas were braindead
Adult Giga turns wayyy too well to be assriden must less with alt-turn
@urban moon Ai Velos should kill young juvies and hatchlings
@barren zephyr i know that but how can we play as juvi's and progress to sub when the velo can out power us that what im trying to say
how about not being around it
@barren zephyr bit hard when velo are fast and i tried so many times to avoid them they still catch up lol
The game is supposed to be difficult for a reason
I would treat velos as any other player.
@urban moon mfw velos do no dmg to you either way
unless you're a hatchling or a fresh spawn galli/utah lel
juvies 1 shot velos 
ive never had a problem w a velo attacking me, gave me 1 bleeed but thats it
The only gameplay that compy could offer is scavenging
But juvenile carnivores could do that
juvenile carnivores are too slow for that
I'd have a lot of fun as compy tbh. I miss playing velo even
Used to use herrerra as my go-to scavver just because its' fast and fun, but now prog is gone :c
Compy = Velo
Compy =/= velo
@barren zephyr i want to say Herrera. Herrera probably come to survival.
You currently can't be any hypos
No
nah, only devs can be them rn, we can obtain them somehow in the future
Only devs
yep and they also kill giant teamer packs xD
we don't know yet
Chance
Fuck knows really
Ya going to have to wait a while
Also #401464048610312195 would be the place for this
@barren zephyr no, should not be hard to get away. para takes u to 3rd screen with headbutt and you heal it in 5 minutes. you can easily get away by running around aimlessly through a forest and making it difficult to catch up to you. you should also be ambushing your prey before going in for an attack to have the extra speed boost to get away and out of their nv range
dilo speed is already almost Utah fast, and he is a heavy bleeder. dilo is hit and run, not hit and assride lol
if you're hunting an adult para during the day as a dilo, baby what is u doin
@barren zephyr Spino's stats aren't aligned with survival mode, the current stats are for progression and the injections (in the official servers) are used to gauge how well it survives in its current state and see what statswill be changed for its proper introduction to Survival mode.
Triceratops also didn't get buffed
It's simply that rex lost the 10% damage thing which made it 4-6 shot it before
@barren zephyr Quad Spino isn't accurate because theropods wrists are not capable of quadrapedal movement Hyper Spino already knuckle walks whilst crouching so I'd guess the new Spino will probably do the same
No
It's not though
It isnt
Theropod wrists couldn't handle the stress of something like that
They arent designed to
^
The moment something like a spinosaurus does it goes snap
Hypers have the excuse of being genetically mutated monsters
Reality hardly applies to them for the most part
Physics cry when they see the hypers.
Giga, Spino and Rex specifically.
Yes, 35 tonne bipeds.
What could possibly go wrong.
At least hyper Spino stumbles around
Muh square cube law
I mean, I would talk to Ibrahim
@leaden night i hope new spino will do the same i love Quadrapedal spino
It isn't accurate
Send me a link
Spinosaurus has changed dramatically since I was a kid. The model I used to terrorize my other toys with looked like an overgrown Allosaurus with a giant sail on its back. As paleontologists rearranged the dinosaur family tree and found new species, however, they realized tha...
Spino is just a bipedal midget
Go to #paleotalk first


Your asking for proof, they're giving you the place to go for it
Kai the mods will yell at us though
Then post it in paleotalk
Ok...tbh it doesn't really matter to me either lol
I like either version XD
I thought you might have had some article that said differently
Sorry...
I do like bipedal spino a lot more actually.
@coarse shell i can understand where your coming but i was a juvi rex at one point it took a velo 3 bites for me to get killed same with a juvi allo i still got killed by a velo, im still working out the reason why velo are added all i know is to balance the ai but at the moment i see more velo then any other ai
Velo exists to be a threat to juvis.
You oneshot them.
If you see a Velo, kill it.
They are there to make your experience harder
^
Before, people took issue that Velo was too weak to kill juvis.
So many people clamored for a buff because they were a joke, not an actual threat.
@brisk mesa i tried killing them but but the velo can outrun us thats my point im trying to get at i aint truly bothered about getting killed by them its the point i see one chase it then i lose stam cuz they are fast then another velo turns up kills due to no stam to run of, i just think they should be nerfed so we can still hunt them but still get hurt but not enough to actually to kill us, i can see where everyone is saying and i do i just think they to powerful to be a ai lol but thats just me
Velo are basically worth no food.
They aren't intended as prey.
They can run away from most juvis.
Velo are your predators, as juvis.
However, they aren't good predators, or OP against you.
If a Velo charges you, turn towards it.
And eat it.
^
but most juvi's can't run away from a velo
Every juvi oneshots.
^
trust me i bit 1 velo and it still killed me
Were you a hatchling?
@brisk mesa all im here for is this ^
An injected creature?
juvie
juvie one of 10 dinos
Juvi Dryo and Carno might not oneshot.
At low growths.
But Utah, Allo, Rex, Giga, etc.
Dilo.
Cera.
All of them oneshot.
i tried using juvi utah and rex and still 1 bite on them they still end up killing me lol
Well, you missed.
Because I can assure you at even brand spankin' new you oneshot them.
Or server lag could have been a factor.
Your bite might have registered after it had killed you.
i did bite them cuz i heard the hurt sound and yea probs i may try again to see what happens lol
I thought they took them out. I haven't seen any in a while. Are they not on v3?
@urban moon , I don't see what your issue is, I've been playing for 3 days, I've played allo, utah, and cera, and (even though the velo can kill the juvis) I have yet to think they are even close to being a serious issue. You have 2 choices really, stand your ground and kill them (easy) or avoid them entirely (even easier)
Buffed or nerfed, velos are just as delicious either way
Juvie utah take 4-5 bites to kill a velo, but they still aren't a big deal
do not kill velos 😢
That megaraptor document shows a lot of potential...
@limpid dove with night changes and it the para is using reshade, it can easily see you during the night as a dilo and just run you down, most hit and run tactics generally rely on you being faster than the para, dilo also got an indirect nerf recently because it is easier to see at night now
That Megaraptor document 👌
@blazing charm @barren zephyr great work boys

Thanks man @barren zephyr
@brisk mesa You do understand different dinosaurs have different stomach sizes.... what if their stomach contents do not equate to 25% of a dino's health?
Yes I'm well aware stomach sizes vary substantially.
I know an easy example of your question; Trex's stomach is under 2000 iirc.
So therefore, not 1/4 of 6000 HP.
It's actually 2400.
And it has 6.5k hp
I never checked Survival
Yeah IK his HP is 6500
just
got lazy typing lol.
Point is, your HP passively regens when above 75%.
And what if you are full? Are you fucked?
Your HP passively regens if above 75% hunger.
Ohhh.
It's meant to reward those who hunt when they need to.
I didn't quite understand.
If your Trex is at 10% food, so only has 240 left?
And he kills a braindead Allo...
He can just gobble up food.
A more plausible scenario is a Cerato fighting multiple Allos.
It takes heavy injuries in the process but say, kills 3.
Normally he's fucked.
Totally.
This might encourage corpse guarding because herbivores would now have a very good reason to prevent a carnivore from eating.
He's gonna die from starving after the hunt, while healing.
Herbivores would be risking injury when they face harsher penalties
If you are a jackass and corpse guard, and end up getting harmed as a result?
You are now a liability to the herd.
Consider if say, a Shant goes out of its way to flatten 2 Gigas yeah?
He is now severely wounded.
And has a truckload of food he needs to restore to get back anywhere near full HP.
Would the other Shants want to have him around?
No.
He'll eat them out of house and home.
Especially given what I mentioned about Hadrosaurs having overall smaller stomachs.
This would mean a Shant will put itself into a vulnerable state after a fight.
Some seconds of healing bleed can be absolutely critical to survival. If hungry, slow-eating dinosaurs cannot passively heal bleed damage while eating, are they going go bleed out?
Can he fight back, well yes, of course, if it comes down to it.
Dilo has a food capacity of what... less than 200? Maybe 150 and they eat about 15 food per bite. Their health is 1500 or something.
1050 HP, but yeah.
Bleed Heal / Bleed Rez when resting could be buffed appropriately to compensate.
Because it only stops HP regen.
When below 75% hunger.
A hungry Dilo would be at higher risk of bleeding to death than a healthier one.
However, stats probably would need to be adjusted with any change.
I appreciate all the questions you are raising, it's very helplful
I hadn;t initially considered the corpse guarding aspect.
The passive regeneration should be adjusted in a way that doesn't punish full stomach players though. Maybe it should be a direct conversion, draining a certain amount of hunger for a certain amount of healing.
dilo seems to almost never starve tho
And triggered by either eating something - converting parts of your food to health and parts to stomach contents. So if you are full you heal for 100%.
low hunger decay
Hm, that's very interesting Minion
Passive regen would cause you to get hungrier faster, restoring HP and allowing you to consume to gain even more HP, so staying above 75% would be very, very beneficial because it would allow you to keep eating faster.
@candid fiber not bad at all
@barren zephyr Thanks dud
How about a winter area where certain Dino’s are slower
@grave dagger Wrong channel friend. You wanna bring that up in #401465476661641217
oof
@quasi stream that argument doesn't exactly apply to any predator. No. Feign-limping is something that animals only do to lure predators away from their young. Most dinosaurs have horrible turning when broken... Trike is the exception.
Feign limp isn't a big problem, by any stretch of the imagination
Why?
Because it = Walk turn.
In both speed and agility.
So, if you removed feign limp, all you do is make them press Z to go from Trot to walk.
If you got baited in by a Triceratops, that's a mistake on your end.
Every predator is faster & has more stamina, and basic knowledge of fighting a Trike would let you know they are very agile when broken.
If anything, the argument of an experienced animal learning to make it's attackers overconfident only makes sense on a herbivore.
Why would a predator make itself seem obvious? The prey items would just leave.
A herbivore, by contrast, might learn that a predator gets careless if prey seems debilitated, and could retaliate when attacked.
Tbh the whole feign limping thing is kinda dumb
I’ve never seen it used effectively
But like
Why not have it
I don’t really think it has a point one way or another
well, i was ganna use it to lure a pred to get me (i was a sub rex) and my friend (and adult rex) would ambush it
🤷
I mean
I’ve never seen anyone use it effectively
But it’s a nice cosmetic thing
So
Why not have it?
we never got to do it cuz we stumbled into a pair of gigas
i ran the hell out of there
But iirc near max sub Rex is almost as fast as Allo
So you should be able to get out of there
oh i didnt know that
Yeah I think it caps at like 20 mph?
welp it was all for nothing cuz when i logged off i had low health from hunger
my friend died to a spino
i remember when i was a juvi spino i thought i was strong enough to ward off this allo pair XD
they killed me
Let’s move to #401464048610312195
oh ok
if i saw a sub rex limping out in the open then i would be EXTREMELY suspicious and wouldn't go anywhere near it
most people don't limp far from where they broke their leg before sitting; limping out in the open where you're easily spotted is a fuckin' trap
I don't think halving food drain during rest is a good idea. It only further encourages players to stay still. Players should be incentivized to move.
Make walking give more stam so you would have an actual reason to use it
It keeps movement while also making walking not useless outside of fights
JESUS PARA
@simple sand dinosaurs were not cold-blooded. I think the term is mesotherm, which is somewhere in between warm- and cold-blooded
Ah, neato.
but anything out in the rain for a long time would start losing body heat and potentially develop hypothermia, so this could work 👍
there's a map mod out right now that has hypothermia as a mechanic; The Frozen North in the Steam Workshop
didnt dondi say waaaay back that he didn't want temp regulation and maintenance to be a thing>
I noticed people aren't adding as many reactions to people's suggestions... and the suggestions are longer and longer.
@barren zephyr right now there is almost no incentive to stay still for carnivores, as their food runs out so quick, it’s nice to have some rest bite in the game, without having to log off for an hour and wait for things to go into the location you were At
Dilo doesnt need to be faster, but I agree that the new nighttime pretty much screws over dilo
its not new nighttime its bugged lel
@bitter wyvern I've been consistently playing Carno and I have to say, no, at no point have I struggled with food. When I had just reached adult and logged off, I struggled for a while until I got an Oro, but by then I was nearly fully grown. Since then I could travel around as a scavenger, hunt the many sub / juvi gigas that populate the world, kill any juvis I stumble across, over-zealous Maias that think they are hot shit when the herd if too far to defend them, Dryos who think they've got jukes, Utahs who do not know their place... and the abundant Oros I've encountered. Just make your way inland, towards the large river system or herb rock, and food is trivial to meet as a Carno.
Herb Rock, and the fields around it, is often littered with massive gore piles. I saw no less than 6 adult Gigas all in the general vicinity. I've seen a pair of Trexes hunting around the large river system, or in more secluded areas of the map protecting their brood. Gigas can be found anywhere inland, towards the outskirts as subadults.
I've engaged with massive herds as a Carno pack, and frankly it's freaking awesome. People are going herbivore not because they are OP, but because they are not useless like they were on Thenyaw. Injections of Stegos and Ankies make them a lot more appealing, as does the abundant food. Trexes being nerfed means Trikes are not worthless, either.
I would say a more viable solution would be simple. Expand 'denying food' from just being about water spawns to including corpse guarding.
Problem solved.
Also, you are unaware that despite there being no official limit, the moderators are very quick to go onto a Hyper Spino / Giga / Carno / Rex / Magna Rex and obliterate an entire herd that is acting like dirt.
Those large herds only last if they are not dicks.
Those that are, get smitten
I would agree that a Carno is a force to be wrecking with if you play it right.
Before I go to sleep, or more or less pass out, I’m going to respond to this. A singular Carno may not be so hard to raise, sure, I’m giving instances. Everyone has different instances. This so called six pack of gigas is something I’ve yet to see and I’ve been playing frequently. The max amount of apex carnivores I’ve seen are two gigas, and three spinos. Outside of that I’ve only witnessed one adult rex which I hunted and killed as a giga with my partner because there wasn’t another source of food. Why is that? All herbivores herded together to a point where we couldn’t hunt and survive. So maybe as a Carno it’s an easier life, but that’s because Carno hunger isn’t as bad.
I’ve yet to go to Herb Rock and witness the gores or bodies. And I’m there as an herb myself, most days. I’m not saying that the herds are players who go it because they’re OP, I’m saying that there’s too many of them, just like apex packs, and there should be a limit.
Also, Mods can’t be a hypo dino. Only Devs, and even then they’re not on 24/7. Not all herds are killed by hypos either.
It, in my opinion, would be better to do a slight herd limit.
But only for APEX herbivores.
Anyways, I’m heading to bed now. If there’s any responses to this I’ll message back when I wake up.
Aight, that's a fair, but yesterday I spent pretty much the whole day playing, almost a full 12hrs. And I saw a lot of death.
Here's the way to beat the herds.
thats my problem with the herds
You lure out the fast dinosaurs.
They are overconfident.
You drop them.
You also pick the fight wisely.
my problem with herds r that they can mix herd so you can get all the prey accessible to smaller dinos to hide behind the big massive trikes and shit
Meiss, 'smaller herbs' aren't really prey to anything as adults lol.
They are simply too fast.
Utahs cannot reliably hunt Maias, Paras, and gallis arent a good meal.
A Giga is going to have difficulty hunting a Para with all the open space.
a good utah pack can hunt a para
True, a pack can.
But if they are surrounded by a wall of horns good luck
Actually its not hard, atleast as Carnos.
I hunted a herd that had 2 adult trikes, 2 subs, 2 young stegos, 3 or 4 maias.
but my real problem is dilo being 2 small
Everything died to us except the adult Trikes.
IK you complain constantly about Dilo's speed.
But you are forest dinosaur.
Stay there
I AM IN THE FOREST
and Paras won't be an issue.
ITS NOT GUNNU STOP A PARA FROM CHASING ME DOWN
barley faster is still faster
Also its easier to see at night now
You can ambush to escape, easily.
People don't upvote your grievance because there is barely a speed difference in outright sprint, and if you simply crouch you ambush and leave it in the dust.
Dilo has amazing stamina regen, trot speed.
Para is big and can get stuck on trees often.
Because night isn't dark atm, don't go into the open if you hear a herd.
harder, as it should be?
and all the carnis killing eachother
I've hunted plenty of herbivores.
I have o nly seen them in massive herds
I havent seen a lone herbie yet on v3
hell i havent seen a group of 3
i can tell you what i have come across
All trying to join the big ones, dying beforehand
lol
No
In narnia?
i trot around the map
oh yea
Not even joking.
a massive galli herd and a massive dibble herd
i saw those
one was 2 fast
the other was 2 hard hitting
i cant even get the jump on em
cause they can just see me
1 adult, 1 sub giga, 2 allos, 1 adult dilo, 1 dying adult cera.
10min of logging in.
Oh and of course, I heard a subrex
all adult ceratos are dying
whats a ceratos hunger decay
Hell.
33min and you start starving.
Anyways, no, my experience of V3 on Dev4 has been very different.
I have not experienced this 'scarceness'
I have seen so many Oros and Tacos
Juvis
Adults.
Of everything you can think of.
It feels barren to me
Only thing I havent seen, personally
Is a Juvi Cera or Dilo.
I have seen every other dino, in every life stage.
well ceratos and dilos are rare to begin with
lul
One made it to adult.
No wipe happened tho
I was just, an Allo and went to the big lakes
and got ambushed by 2 big juvs, escaped easily
they stole my Oro
and another Juv Cera was going to join them
I Merc'd it.
Came back latter, one was adult, and died.
I’ve seen a dev say that they’re trying to improve night time but it’s hard to balance it, and that I agree with however dilo doesn’t need a speed buff, just don’t try and harass para’s
I don't think dilos need a speed boost either. But from what I have seen it is usually paras harassing dilos.
paras harassing allos...
i dont want a massive speed buff i just want it to outspeed para
Or play dilo how ur supposed to
And hide in the day
And pop out at night
And dont harass anything that can near 1 shot u
im not harrasing it
it is harrasin me
also
most people dont even use nv at night anymore cause its way easier to see
at night that is
i dont chase stuff during day
i dont hunt during day
its when im out at night
Its more for when ur in a forest now
I doubt that was the intention but idk
I mean, dilos should be hit and run predators.
They should be faster than most larger herbivores, but slower than gallis and Dryos as speed is their only saving grace.
ye but the big herbie chase me down ree
yeah ive never had a problem with any carniv
its always my mistake that i run into other carnivs, cos i went to a pond or something
that is easily sniFFABLe
btw @barren zephyr night is not lighter, on thenyaw it is impossible to see throughout the night and dilos thrive best, in V3 however, there are different types of brightness, when the clouds cover the sky it gets harder to see, and when the sky is cloudless, it is easier to see, dilos still have advantage but like 20% less.
dilos have lost their advantage with night being shite on v3 because nv is barely needed
not a 20% loss, more like 50-60%
i use nv a lot, so im not sure how you guys are seeing, but i think night on V3 is fine
in wide open spaces, ofc you'd see with the moon shining.
but in forests its always dark no matter what.
its really surprising how bright it can get, almost like evening.
in real life ^
Yeah, I’d still give Dilo like an extra 1 mph
Iirc its ambush mult is 1.1?
If it’s 1.2 it could do with a slight reduction after buffing speed
But otherwise
Or fast as para
@finite perch melanism isnt always an advantage but I see your point
During day a jetblack dino would be quite easy to spot
and if their ever was a snow map
Then it would be a straight disadvantage comparied to albinism
I do see your point tho
at the current moment however their isnt much reason to nest
people do it to kill time
i think its interesting! even places like deserts and beaches could be utilized by albinos, while melans would utilize shaded areas like caves, forests, ect
might force someone out of their comfort zone and challenge their playstyle, reward nesting without messing with numerical balance
deserts not so much due to albinism also decreasing resistnces to a sun
but i see the point
true, but dermatic cancer isnt a system.... yet!
its just
The main incentive to nest, is to have a parent, which is a solid advantage when growing up. Idk how much interest those skins would be
it wouldnt be the only incentive to nest of course, but i feel it would add to it. some folks find being nested in as too safe or boring
tho i would rather have less time to grow than a parent
but i play smaller dinos so
@barren zephyr No thanks, I quite enjoy how badass the rex sounds atm.
OH YES SOPRANOYARO !!!
i play as a mix of dinos, im mostly interested in having patterns being 2nd gen though. albino/melan is super secondary
@barren zephyr real life as in the animal nobody here has ever seen or heard?
@regal sapphire it's called science and research.
they can't examine a skull?......🤦🏼
Would you be able to guess how an elephant sounds with just its skull and having no knowledge of what an elephant is?
the isle is based in realism but is not meant to be 100% realistic
so im fine with the current roars
i doubt a t-rex had a meaty trumpet hanging out of it's face..
What proof is there that it doesn’t though
considering the isle has a lot of stuff drawn and inspired from jp
do you believe in the big bang? just curious
its supposed to roar in the game
They probably honked like geese....
Snorian Rex roars though can’t be realistic @barren zephyr
Saurian looks like crap...visually and the play experience
saurian doesnt roar tho
Saurian isnt that bad graphically
better than some games
dino games
Images I saw looked flat and grainy
Didn’t know this channel was about Saurian
its not its about how the rex sounds fine atm
yeah saurian isnt the best looker especially for the performance you get with the game
Saurian looks like a mod from a Fantasy MMORPG...looks to play like one too
game looks like a ps2 game but runs like dogshit
I keep expecting a wizard to come out from behind a tree...
im not saying its pretty but its really not that bad
unless your playing on a toaster then possibly
point being, nah they are never going to waste all that time and effort creating and animating the rex roars to then just scrap it because rumbles
yea
it's a game in progress, still developing, who said this is the final rex model? in the future it can still change..
My question is why there are suggestions pertaining to 'in real life it did x', When the game isn't meant to be realistic as is
remember the game takes inspiration to jurassic park
youve seen the rex in jp
did it rumble
Yes
Or giant monsters that defy the laws of physics
imagine wanting realism in a game where rex and spino lived in the same place at the same time
jurasicpark reference u kidding me ).)
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Saurian is for those who want realism, if it ever enters a more playable state
The Isle isn't
if the game wasn't ment to be realistic in some sort of way dondi would allow pink camo's for the dinos but he ain't.
if you want realism go play bob
Dont mention that game you'll start an explosion
I never said it wasn't supposed to follow common sense
That and it's his game
He can do as he pleases
the distance between spino and rex even using the smallest estimated time is still longer than human beings bein a thing
Anyways got my point across, The rex rumbling would be dumb, would ruin part of the novelty of playing and hearing rex in this game. Plus it would make them toss away god knows how much money because the roar animations would be useless if they changed it
^^^
it aint practical, it wouldnt make sense, and Im sure in a months time some paper will come out claiming the rex did roar or that it squeaked instead
thankyou
Or it barked like a dog
Reason why Saurian can't get anywhere, dino theories change all the time

it doesn't make sense but science says it? you do'nt believe in science?
Idc about science
if you wanna go argue about science theres a channel for that
#paleotalk
i guess u'r a religious person then if u don't believe in science?
Science said the rex was feathery and changed its mind
w o a h n o w
My beliefs dont really matter pertaining to the reasons I just listed on why your suggestion is bad, but nah
lets not
Like i said, got my point across, good day sir
why did you gotta do that
sigh
stop making drama out of it so what if his religious just wondering -.-
🤦
bye
uhg..
you literally just stereotyped him
before i even know it i'll be called a rapiest or something close to it :'p
rapiest
no one is calling youthat
uhg
@barren zephyr that is completely unproven that the rex had a hum, that was just a video showing what it could be like.
As the rex having feathers that theory has been disproved
To be honest I don’t think the rex call is that impressive anyways, in comparison to the giga the rex call is completely squashed, the only reason the rex call is scary is because well, it’s a rex, and knowing a rex is near you I scary. Not the call itself
Just imo^
What reptile, especially large reptile has a roar? It would appear the best they can do is chirp, sqwuak, worbble, or honk, rumble and guttural hiss if large.
Personally, I’d be fine if these were the only sounds provided in game.
Lets just give it a duck quack
Not so much of a quack...but some inspired by it.
Something trumpety and bleating.
I’d accept something like a screaming goat
Something as @mighty girder said unneeded
but dilo need to go more zoom
Im still sure ur a troll so im not feedin ur bullshit
im not
Not u
dilo needs to go faster than para
Stride wins i guess
I do like the nested as an albino but i think they are going to make it so if bad players nest, their child will be albino
anD hOw wOUld we kNow whAt A rEx soUNds likE ?
it go WEEWOO

The only reason id enjoy albino
Is to force that shit head out of my herd
To keep the rest of them safe
i uh
i really really love albino skins for some reason
so im going to go for that route
And if rex's used vibration its prey would be like 1 mile away always
Well i hope ur never in my herd
wHY
Cus ima damn near kill u
why
Ugly white boi


What would a Rex use it’s vocalizations for? Pack communications, alerting/alarms, long distance territorial and booty calls?
I wager the Rex had low frequency guttural rumblings as its primary vocal...with shorter, higher freq calls when young.
Infrequent Low-frequency calls could be used to attract mates at long range, or as a means of announcing territorial ownership...without providing distant prey items detailed audible indications of exactly where the neighborhood Rex is.
#paleotalk
@fast cipher it is proven that the rex had really sensitive hearing and with that mind it proves it even more,i doubt a rex pair that would have been hunting 60million years ago would roar to communicate since that'll scare the prey away.
the Rex is going to sound mostly like the one from Jurassic Park, because that's what most people expect and what the head of the project wants. also- low frequency calls are not very audible to the human ear over long distances, we're much more attuned to high frequencies like the cry of a baby, which most people can pick out with ease. for that reason all of The Isle's dinosaurs feature high elements so that they're easily identifiable at long range.
I thought Dondi said he was not going to change Rex's call to the JP one...
I honestly hate it. It sounds like you threw an elephant into a blender.
Thats what movie dinosaur calls were back then
its the best trex roar ive ever heard tbh
rex call right now just needs more bass and to be louder
giga roars are Goddamn terrifying in comparison
this is where i've got it to currently. as for the current calls, a few of those will be getting modified and updated to work with the Magna Rex when it goes in.
......this isn't anywhere near the final version is it
rex sounds like it has bronchitis
giga 3 call from a distance
😩 👌
I know that roar sounds “cool”and is a great job of capturing the feel of JP...but then you realize it’s the sound of a Lion roaring just as it gets hit by a commuter train.
"that sounds amazing but i'm noping the fuck outta here bye y'all"
............the rex broadcast update up there sounds rreeeeaaalllllyyyy similar to the BoB rex broadcast now that i think about it
never played it
sounds like the mating call from walking with dinosaurs
that wip broadcast cracks me up tbh
they're using a couple of the same breath effects from what i can hear there, it's the Creatures collection.
I think bird like sounds are the more terrifying. Hopefully one of the carnivores will have them in the future. Theri is the most terrifying sound to me
@stable cloud planned already
https://www.twitch.tv/rr_raptor65/clip/SavageDoubtfulCiderEleGiggle?filter=clips&range=24hr&sort=time
Dilos, Utahs and Raptor are the most immersive sounds...and they utterly send chills up my spine and put me on edge.
@barren zephyr I mean, that's made of squealing pigs, but ok.
Ooh! Neat! I'm looking forward to that being added, then.
@verbal acorn Ack, which one
@barren zephyr One already does. Austro has Kookaburra sounds
not to mention dilo broadcast
All of three feels like an ice pick in the back of the neck....though the Raptor tends to only do it when I’m a juvi. But that Raptor’s final threat call after it evades gets me every time if I’m not expecting it.
Velos sounds are more that of a food bell to me
Play as a early juvi Giga with no alt-turn...the Velo becomes a menace
sounds like a high pitched primal carnage rex
@safe sequoia the only problem I see with this is eating or drinking in combat
Sometimes you need to
I know I’ve needed to a few times on Cerato
That new rex broadcast is....well if its what dondi wants guess there isnt much anyone can do but its a yikes from me captain
Sounds like its in pain
Thats why it should be risky to eat/drink in combat @jovial arch
Only desperate animals would do so
desperate animals would be hyped up on adrenaline and would probably not immediately feel pain, either
Yeah
Then, maybe that should be an other good mechanic in wich they have a decrese/resistance/x1/2 on bleed while being starving on close to it
@violet magnet noone said it's finall
But, related to some mechanic of distraction resulting in more damage would fit, in my opinion, very well.
Not the tipical distracted player that is afk while drinking and you can have a ton of bites on it :p
with the damage taken from starvation im not sure how valuable a resistance would really be at the end of the day, it would only really benefit things capable of starving for quite some time
Eating and drinking tend to be when I’m most alert
@mighty girder there's sorta two different ways it could go, T.Rex is essentially getting the sounds that were going to be used for Magna Rex, but with some tweaks. The core of the original Magna broadcast felt a little light and raspy, so the clip posted above is version 2 that was intended to be deeper and more resonant. This is the older Magna broadcast, which I think might end up being used for the subadult now..
Will calls be different for adult males/females of Survival dinos?
https://youtu.be/jdNgZTosYl4?t=5 so uh I’m hearing this a lot in the one you posted earlier Dino
All of the badass roars from Primal Carnage. I didn't include the Spinosaurus but if you want it, check my uploads
👀
The first one you posted
elephants are cool.
its a yikes from me too chief, not to sound mean but its coming across as generic and weak af imo.
Oh I’m just hinting at the primal carnage buyout that is potentially confirmed
But idk if it is fully? That one tweet implies it
it's not supposed to sound like the biggest predator in the world, there's larger apexes let alone the strain animals. part of the reason the magna sounds are being moved across is because the original Rex roars feel a bit larger and more suited to something of that size.
Current Rex broadcast > JP-ish Rex broadcast
still it doesnt sound as menacing as Giga
Giga is bigger.
Giga should sound more menacing
Rex has a bigger bite
it IS more menacing lol
im talking about adult rex here
As am I
Whether Rex sounds more/less menacing than giga is kind of irrelevant
I can see the reasoning, and those roars are definitely too light for magna, just concerned its also too light for rex. Even if it isnt huge compared to other dinosaurs it is still an apex
Current broadcast is loud, deep, terrifying. JP roar sounds..
Way less intimidating
It doesn't sound as menacing as giga because the devs cranked up giga's volume and now Rex's outdated roar sounds like a fricken joke.
Yeah, that new roar isnt gonna send chills down my spine
Yeah i like it when things are more original
Rex needs a sound quality update. It's too quiet and sounds a bit mono in quality
who haven't
Jp rex: RHEEEEEEEEEEEEE
But I stopped liking the JP Rex roar upon hearing TI Rex roar
^^^
If the magna needs bigger sounds maybe try finding a blend between hyper/normal rex sounds leaning more towards normal if the deepness is needed but...The proposed magna roars are too light and airy for both creatures imo
^
It feels like the Rex call update is way too short compared to Giga, now...
P sure the length didnt change
Honestly, giga is so loud right now, I don't feel hypo giga noises will sound so scary
we've been trending towards shorter calls in general, but it's only slightly less than the original
Are you guys going to shorten Giga calls or make them quieter?
there's a general rebalancing of all sound levels coming up, but Giga will be getting some special attention to rebalance things.
since that one is a bit.. out there.
The only thing wrong with their calls before the update was how loud their f, 2, and 3 call sounded at a distance.
it doesn't help that almost every dino game from zoo tycoon 1 to mesozoica has tried to ape the JP rex roar to varying degrees, if I had heard this rex roar and wasn't told what project it was for it could be literally any dinosaur game made in the past 10 years, it comes across as super generic, uninspired and doesn't have any oomph or believability that an actual animal is making this noise.
But thats just my opinion and it is a wip
The thing I like about TI roar is that it sounds unique and not another JP recreation
Giga 2 loud I can't hear rex and paras anymore
the process for creating roars is undergoing a bit of a rework. the different elements are all split up to allow for greater flexibility, so what you're hearing is a mushed down version of what'd be in-game, where things like the underlying growls are further adjusted based on distance.
TI Rex: blood curdling epic roar, sends other dinos running
JP Rex: stumbles up to lake, trying not to trip over his walker. Puts on his bi-focals. Let’s out a mighty WHEEEEEEZE. Puts his oxygen mask back on and stumbles back into bed
The best trex roar imo is the one they use in dino crisis even if its a generic roar
Ark change your name XD
Why
The injection witches are dead
XD lol

Anyways, I suppose it is still a work in progress, I'll sit back and wait to see what you do with it Dinosauriac
Oh yeah to clarify, Dinos sounds are all amazing, I’m just way more partial to TI roar than JP imo
like i said, that one will probably still be around, just not coming from that particular mouth.
i still prefer it when you come up with more original roars
I'll miss the current Rex roar... I don't want him to have a JP roar.
Plus, once current Rex roar gets used on a hypo or something, we lose the novelty of hearing a hypo or magna.
ngl i really hope we don't end up with just the JP rex roar transplanted over TI rex's broadcast
rex broadcast/soundset right now is fine and terrifying, the only problem is that it's too quiet compared to other dinos (coughgiga)
also i kinda like the BIG dinos like magna and hypo having comparatively "weak" and "airy" sounding roars but legit cannot say why, just a personal preference
I'm also not a fan of having the more JP sound. Not because it sounds bad but more so because of how much its been aped over the years. As others have pointed out basically every Dinosaur game in the last decade uses some form of JP 'inspired' roar for their Rexes. The Isle has some pretty unique and amazing sounds for their dinosaurs and i'd hate to see some of it gone to scratch that JP nostalgia itch.
that second t rex roar sounded really good
Wait, what did I miss? Is Trex's roar being scrapped in favor of a... JP one?
@finite perch The devs apparently tried this out but it had... issues.
As I said, it had issues.
also is there a video im missing i feel this is a story
IK a dev posted a pic a long while back
when someone asked basically the same question.
I just don't remember the reasoning why there were issues.
i can see several ways this could go haywire, so i dont doubt it! 😬 game dev be like that
still, im really impressed they tried. not everything works out, but they really are thinking hard about their game and i admire that
@finite perch
oooh thank you!!!
wouldn't mind more crocs in TI besides deino
muh diversity, theres bound to be one or two more that can fit into the Isle
@frank zinc if not moving your head for aesthetic reasons like for screenshots wasnt able to be done during animations like sniffing and roaring especially it'd be pretty damn useless to add because thats one of the things people like to do in a screenshot lol
want a cool picture of a t rex roaring at the camera? aw shit, welp, dont work with roars
The thing is, I wouldn't want the locked head to mess with the animations. It'd be weird to roar, lock your head, then run around/sniff with a wide open jaw
and iirc this used to be a feature way back but it was removed for whatever reason
- there was no issue with the head lock and animations together
Really? huh
If they could get it to work with the roars, that'd be neat too
@verbal acorn so you are saying that you think you should leave food behind when you log out?
if so, that's a bad solution to the problem
There are already measures in place to avoid combat logging, and they work alright.
if you left food behind when despawning, that would be heavily exploitable
if would break the game a lot more than it would fix it
@verbal acorn A starving T. rex could just log out and log back in, boom free food.
Applies to all carnivores
We would need to tie the carcass to the player...so respawning would despawns the carcass
A starving rexes friend could despawn and boom free food
If your carcass is eaten, you are given a re-log cool-down so you can’t respawn in server for 30mins...or you re-log with severe HP lose....or both.
If necessary, have the despawn carcass only happen for herbivore despawns
I still think it is far too exploitable
Just to clarify, do you mean the picture or just the nametag?
Just the nametags.
Tbh I would be fine if nametags themselves had 40-60% opacity and the pictures were removed entirely
Pictures have been a stain since nametags were introduced
I don’t want to see anime Hitler or some other dumb shit on my screen while I’m hunting
you could disable nametags on your game, but on other people's screens they'd still be able to see yours and you wouldn't be able to tell what "nametag range" was
I mean yeah
It doesn’t diminish that pictures are a nuisance for literally everyone
stalking something with nametags turned off and crouch before it sees you, but it saw your nametag already and bolted, whoops
yep
Also nametags are best when group only
has anyone suggested being ablle to pick up the corpses of smaller dinos in order to drag them to pack mates or take them to a safer place to eat?
Yes. It’s being worked on.

Maybe instead of a set opacity, it could come as a slider option.
@last remnant
I'm pretty sure increasing spawns with decreasing player counts is already in the game
Threetails, it kind of used to be when it was first put in, and it was way too overpowered. Can you expand more on the idea with more details so we can get a better idea of what you mean by that?
uh
Not lakes necessarily, but sniffing in general
so like
the scent lasts the same amount of time
it's just that whether you can see it or not
is variable
hmmm
though you're right
this makes it a lot harder to escape down a river or a lake
huh
i dunno though you can still see tracks through water
maybe if you hit q again while things were still lit up it could "deactivate" the things
"deactivate" as in turn off the lights, not make it so you can sniff, deactivate, then immediately sniff again
because that is hella exploitable
That makes more sense
let me just completely rewrite it
i can understand why the wording would cause confusion
It’s not really in the game. It’s just that over a specific player number the spawns are not as numerous, but the number of spawns between a server with 80 and a server with 10 seem to be relatively the same.
Maybe
I feel like the scaling of AI won’t detract people from lower pop servers.
It seems like it’s mighty hard to start a new server on The Isle.
yes
i completely agree
i just got confused because we already have a similar system
We do.
👍
😉
The blue scent is blinding especially at night. I wish there was a way to smell footprints without smelling water. Maybe a second sniff key binding that only brings up the compass and footprints?
Well if you sniff. You get scents from all thongs in the area. Naturally the way it is now, has more realisticness.
Except, maybe adding it so that you can smell corpses. Which they’re doing. It’ll help the scavengers quite a bit.
remember that scent still isn't finished, what is in-game right now is a temporary solution. the final version will have trails that lead you to water, etc. instead of relying on x-ray vision so much.

https://clips.twitch.tv/FaintSarcasticSpaghettiMau5 @coral scroll
Already being worked on.
Squeallllll!
tfw King doesn't ask you for help on suggestions anymore

:c
@unborn quail thank you!
Np
tf is a sebicisuchus
find the right spelling then
cus having a reference to what the creature actually looks like is helpful
this is like a close relative so a few minor changes can be done
@still temple https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebecia this is what he means I think
yeah
exactly the one but it had thicker jaws thats the only diffrence
from the front
@median badger From my experience, Maia is fine where it's at. It can handle several Utahs considering it 2-Hit-Kills them. Alongside this, Maia has really good bleed healing, so if you ward off a Utah attack you most likely won't die to bleed. These two counters also carry over to Dilo. Maias should easily fall victims to Allos or predators of larger size if they are able to reach abush distance. Maia is faster than most carnivores, including Utah. All in all, Maia has enough speed to avoid both Utahs, Dilos, and Allos given that they don't sneak up on you. It has more than enough power to kill both Utahs and Dilos with ease.
@oblique crown that's already a thing
@tawny dust i know /stuck is anthing but it doesn't work because the push is like a a few cm instead of feet
true but it moves you to the closest "walkable" land
@oblique crown how would you know who's nesting?
if you know somebody is nesting you can just message them asking for a nest 🤷
message them how? not everyone who plays the isle is on this discord
steam then
or anything else
if you know someone is nesting you must have messaged them somewhere
But you wont know if someone is nesting that's why i made that in suggestions the option to let anyone who has a nest or eggs that you are willing to be nested.
so just another button to spam when you want to join a group of players?
atm people spam group invite
people would just spam this button to everyone on the server
trying to join their group
i think i'm misunderstanding this a little bit
so you're suggesting is to add another button like the group invite one.. which you can send to random people to see if they're nesting and if they are let them know you want to be nested?
oh @oblique crown
that makes a lot more sense, yeah that could be a cool idea
nice edit btw
@valid flower almost everything can run from rex you know lol
and it cant even solo trike
not anymore at least
It can solo trike.
just ambush, bite.
leg broken.
ambush
bite.
keep doing it.
trust me a lot of my trike friends died to rexes.
and i did aswell.
like my 8th time dying to an adult rex
Leg break plus 500 bite force.
Lost my adult spino from just 5 bites.
couldnt do anything since my leg was gone.
with in the first bite leg got fucked up.
That's odd because we've had spino players tank a lot more than 5 bites
Are you sure this the survival Rex?
What server is this on?
Teutonic EU.
Lol
@median badger Maia is already faster than both Utah and Allo
