Is gross
Spino loses to giga currently
Shant gives me ptsd
Why's that?
Shants shouldn't ever be in Survival at least.
Shants could 1 shot apexes and run them down back in the day
And took nothing to grow
Y e s t h e y c a n
Make private good = take carebear rules out, take p2w and global chat and keep pack limits = perfectooo
Evil beings
I used Shants in a deathmatch server..it 2 shot a giga..logic
down with P2W
I actually liked strict realism rules like Rogue used to have, but that was back when there were stat mods.
Shants are disgusting creatures that should stay in the depths of hell where they belong
IT WEIGHS 12 TONS WHY WOULD IT NOT?
I enjoyed rogue until they changed their name, and changed to terra vitae
I liked it before and after.
@restive mesa why do you need global? To make friends? Go out at night meet ppl or use facebook or wtv lol
It kinda went downhill from there, from my perspective
i watched some videos from a youtuber who played on rogue realism when the stat and skin mod was in, they were a spino and they buttrode a stego to death
like the stego was swiping like crazy but the spino barely even got hurt
that was a little ridiculous to me
Yeah I remember being a stego and immediately dying to acro and up.
@barren zephyr again with missing the point. My irl friends dont play games and not the isle. So, where is the best place to meet people that play the isle?
I played stego quite a bit back then.
Oh, the isle
@restive mesa official discord
I actually loved V4.
I doubt we'll ever have another good private realism server for a long time
@barren zephyr Dont play official
They have limits on rex, gigas, and trikes
the realism i used to play on is making a comeback
and are grossly incorrect. 5 apexes? why?
still has profiles but they're not SUPER restricting
Take this to #401464048610312195 please.
Willco
Oh boy here comes the cops, im out
Going there now.
@true haven you only need to make apexes more balanced and their numbers will decrease
you can make hunger, water and stam permanently visible.
they don't look like a watermark though

@shut gale
youTheExpert
night being dark would be cool, but I would like a slight increase of the night vision range for some creatures because it is a bit annoying to only be able to see so little (I know it's supposed to be spooky but I think a slight increase wouldn't ruin that)

Btw guys
Cama does dmg while running
so pretty much it can step on u
it can 1 shot dilos and utahs
probably carnnos
from just running on it
@dapper quail https://clips.twitch.tv/TangentialAbstruseOkapiTheRinger
What is Para supposed to be threatened by?
something that isnt a solo allo
i think
but single allo can kill you rn
you would need to assride it with hearbutt
good luck
since kick it so shit
I was under the impression that Allo’s hunted Para’s.
They do
Para runs away
ambush abuse
So it’s a Mountain Lion vs. a Deer.
why deer ?
Bigger and heavier than the lion but not quite equipped to actually stomp it to death like an Elk
and what would be giga sir if allo is moutain lion
Polar Bear
and rex ?
Tiger or any other large predator in this scenario
Polar Bear with cybernetic enhancements
tbh i see allo more as wolf
Wolves aren’t dangerous solo, Allo is
Lemme use your logic, what does that make dilo and Utah then?
lemme think
Dilo would be Caracal possibly, Utah a fox maybe
also im not talking about a crazy buff to para
not that suggestion that wants to 3 kick for allo
how would a 50 dmg increase to kick do ?
Utah is a wolf or coyote if anything in this analogy
Personally I think para getting to 3-4 shot would be fine once it had momentum and the kick hitbox is fixed
if it got momentum if totally fine with 3-4 shots
And a fix to the hitbox, that kick goes all the way back to its hips
I agree with the trike stomp thing tbh
its literally deafening to every other sound around you
"turn your game down" then we wont hear the rest of the shit stomping around us, moreso than we could with the game turned up
buffdilo
i will be pissed if this doesnt happen in next patch 👆
ppl are complaining alot about servers being plagued with apex carnivores...this time i have to agree.
but
i dunno what the devs can do to reduce the apex population and make it more balanced
the fact is
and its a simple one
everyone wants to play the big bad dino or if preferred the flavour of the month...ppl dont usually play what fits they re playstyle
sad
but true
2 days ago Giga was the preferred dish cause it could smash everything...now that its bite force is nerfed and it can no longer shit on a rex few are those that still play giga
and now the new flavour is once again
...Trex
@spark carbon Dondi already said earlier today that the Oro and Taco food value is going to be changed back. Apexes are gonna start starving again soon enough with only Ava able to feed them.
and @spark carbon i feel your concerns...this doesnt push me away from the game itself cause i love the hardcore concept of the game...but many ppl are like you...things dont change they just leave. Pack limits should be implemented for the well being of the game...but the fact is...its still unbalanced and those who play the game and dont agree with that have to live with it until some sort of change arrives
Affinity is presumably going to fix the packing issue.
i dunno what can affinity do regarding megapacks tbh @merry ember
Penalize you for doing things your Dinosaur wouldn’t do, such as a very territorial species constantly being around a large number of their own kind?
most of the time im a solo player and i feel that i have absolutely no chance of surviving even if i have a full size rex or giga...ill just find 5 gigas or wtv and die
@merry ember did dondi talked about the affinity system?
He has, yes.
any clip about it?
I’m sure someone could find the imgur with the screenshots for you.
@spark carbon the problem with reducing AI spawns is that maps like V3 are so large you don’t always find people. You could be moving towards them, but not know because the map is so big.
oh like this
yes
Don’t increase its speed then
They’re already nuisances. They also need to balance them.
they are easily one of the weakest carnivores rn
they are the weakest carnivores
except way better
give dilo 100 bleed
carno doesnt outurn
perfectly balanced
that wouldent saveit
its like giving a gun that cant shoot 100 billion damage
if you ever shot anything you would win but it cant shoot
Hit ‘n run. If you want to have a better use than Utahs then increase speed.
hit n run can only work if you are ninja that can get outta sight
but wait utah can still bite you
and sniff you out
THEN WHY DOES THE DILO HAVE THE BEST NIGHT VISION
CAUSE NIGHT IS BRIGHT
Not really... granted you can see but not very well
you can literally see everything if your not in a forest full of bushes
There aren’t too many places, especially with water
also gamma
My opinion: Revert the night darkness change. It SHOULD be pich black and dangerous. Current state causes dilo to lose its pro, and people abuse it with gamma.
Secondly: Apexes ruin the game for non-apex dino's. They are everywhere and you can't do shit against them unless you are one yourself. In the current state, the game without Apexes is better...
@topaz sierra Camarasaurus is already confirmed to be coming into survival
Is it really now?? When did I miss that
It was announced on stream a couple of days ago
All those stat and animation changes weren't for nothing!
Ah I see, I missed that one stream. Thanks for the info!
👍
True, imagine the hatchling's "squeak"
@shrewd python I don't want it to be that strong, I just want the swing to do more damage.
I mean I like night as it is right now since it's more realistic, but it's true that Dilos nv is useless atm. Maybe making Dilos have infinite night vision would make a difference?
just buff dilos fucking turn radius
no idea why they thought to make it turn like a literal train
I feel that growing up to an adult apex with slow hunger rate should be a reward for spending hours as a smaller stage. I agree with ponk- make the juvie and subadult stages more difficult to maintain with hunger and thirst so that they can't just camp an area and live off of the area, at least for rexes. The rex's younger stages are much more mobile than their adult counterpart, so while they do get hungry quickly they don't have to lug around this giant sluggish beast to find food.
@valid flower that is gonna be fixed on the next patch
before the patch, apexes were more challenging
@barren zephyr Next patch? When? End of march?
now its pretty goddamn easy to grow a rex or giga whenever u please
even before the patch they were fairly easy
i agree with siv tbh
ya
@valid flower let the devs work and for now just play the game has it is...
if the sub and juvi stages are so much harder then let people complain
Tbh it's hard to play with the screen shake
people deserve it after getting to adult
Makes me nauseus
ive been playing trike in another server but
Yeah I really noticed it on my adult Allo, but if you walk slow or crouch it juvi 8t doesn't happen
i havent noticed it
Just make apex hunger to pre patch
It makes me so dizzy playing carni apex. I can't wait til the fix for it
They were pretty balance before
i don’t see why everyone is this frustrated with the hunger
I think it's cause they decreased hunger AND added ava, so now you're always at 100 food
ohh yeah i see with the ava added in
Make apexes hongry again
but soon they won’t be able to eat oro and taco
Oros and tacos are already p light for giga/rex arent they
Like 2 bites I think lol
yea p much
still something
i survived off of those when i first reached adult
Before I completely survived off of oro and taco to adulthood pre-patch
yeah
some ppl dont understand the context of earlier access😐
i certainly don’t think packs of rexes/gigas should be able to live on ai lol
like they have
this is suggestion discussion venom we’re allowed to talk about what we think 😂
unfortunately

Make juvie/sub close to living hell in terms of hunger and thirst, then adult is average/somewhat slow as a reward
Gotta get hongry
I'm sure there are other ways to make it challenging
The only thing playing adult rex pre patch was that I felt like it was a gamble to wander the map and lots of times I just didn't find anything anywhere especially when playing solo lmao
So I usually camped a spot unless I was in a pack
Even if affinity is added, you will have tons of apex roaming around on their own, because they are Even easier to survive than mid carns now
probably :/
You have nothing to fear except other apex, and if u are on a pack, theres literally nothing that threats u
mhm
Maybe a long way in when strains are finally in, the apex pop will be culled, along with the rest of the pop 
I wonder if people are also seeing more apexes around the map because they can finally wander around without potentiall starving to death
I don't play apexes, I like mid tier, mostly cera now, and I tell you, theres more apexes now. Even if you don't see them, if pretty obvious from just reading the patch notes ...
Debes should stop taking suggestion and just read feedback. You will have always people qqing about a thing, and if change, you will have the people that liked the old way qqing, it's a endless cycle. Happened with rex buffs, with night brightness... Now is apex poblatión, and if ir get change, you will have the kids that love their big scary dinos qqing about it in just a second...
the new AI and hunger is great
you guys talking about servers being overran with apexs, do you actually play the game?
so many people crying about it 2 hours after patch hit acting like map is full of grown apexes that take 6 hours to grow lol
@light oak LOL "Even if you don't see them, if pretty obvious from just reading the patch notes" I guess you guys do just complain without actually playing the game huh
It’s like y’all haven’t been paying attention
Dondi already said its being addressed earlier this morning.
I play both midtier and fairly recently apexes and I don't really see much to complain about except for the occasional full pack apexes, but even then anything in a full pack is scary asf. I don't think they're running rampant as people say they are and it's just apexes that can actually move around and not camp a spot their whole loves
Lives*
@merry ember Even dondi notice it. Yet for some kids it's not a problem.
Thats the problem with suggestion. You have very delusional people trying yo balance the game.
@merry ember where do I need to pay attention in order to see what you are talking about?
Wasn’t specifically talking to you
Moreso the people flooding suggestion with “Apex Swarm pls nerf”
@light oak You literally admitted you haven't played it yet but can already tell there is a problem from patch notes. Get out of here kid
@mystic kestrel Last days I played a lot of apexes to test them. Juvie giga has big hunger drain, juvie rex also is poor. The sub period is long so they need to have nice hunger system to keep them. It is okay right now, if it is decreased they can die from hunger if there is poor ai spawn.
I know that there are a lot of apexes, but rn they are hard to grow in populated hours. People grow them when there are very few players in the server so that they can abuse adults later. Even if you decrease the hunger there will be no efffect, bcs people will still grow them when there are no players around.
Its really not hard
to grow apex currently
u can seriously afk and just start eating ai at 20%
it would be an actual reward for going trough the constant eating and drinking
those arent only apexes, these are all the dinos, the only viable strategy beside a pack
@mystic kestrel I agree that it should be more challenging to grow apexes, but I think doing that with very fast hunger decay would just be annoying. I think this afk sitting in a bush might lower your affinity because you're not doing anything your dino might want
No affinity in yet
something needs to change
im fine with apex being top of the food chain
but just searching for food constantly would be just as monotonous as afk growing and would just be more frustrating
It would force them
to come out of the shadow
no affinity yet to fix that
i'd rather make it frustrating
to grow apex
and be super fun at the end
as an reward
It would be more rewarding I guess
but I think it will not solve the mass apex population, it will just result in more people complaining, because it wouldn't be hard to grow an apex with the current AI spawns, just really annoying
but there would still be many adults as it isn't a challenge
So...this is getting pretty weird huh...first, everyone is complaining about how little AI there is and now, with Ava AI, tons of people complain there are too many apax players. Well most people love giga and rex and thats why they are so many. There is no other way around it then to accept it untill humans and cannibals are around. People are always going to pick the thing that rocks the most. I do agree on nerfing hunger and water for subs BUT as a sub, 9 out of 10 times you die by some adult rex or giga. Remember some weeks ago it was the Allos.. overrunning the servers, then the Suchos. I dont think its the dinosaurs that are causing the issue; its the PEOPLE themselves and the way they act/think.
thats why affinity is gonna be a thing
@umbral prairie the Taco and Oro will give less food in next patch
that + hunger reduction for apex should be ok
hard annyoing but , tough luck if u want to be apex better harden your self
I think some AI that is a challange might be a good idea, something people can really hunt when in groups, let say Shant and Brachi. Something that can KILL an apax but isnt a human they can blame ^^
I just hope that we will have hadrosaur AI at some point, I'd imagine that hadro AI wouldn't spawn close to hungry dinos, but just spawn randomly on the map (maybe in more open areas) and just wander around, so mid tiers and Apexes have to roam the island but then, once they find a herd, can live off of it for a while (but they have to follow it, so no sitting in bushes all the time)
The issue is that the gameplay has to be enjoyable, no matter what you play as, even if it is difficult/hard, it has to be fun. It's not fun if all you constantly is doing is running between water/food, back and forth with no time for anything else, or that you can't actually sit the night out without panicing in the morning cause you're a few minutes away from starving. Or for that matter finding someone, but not having the time to stalk them/plan and execute a proper ambush, or pass up the target if it turns out to be too much, like one rex vs three trikes or something, in which case you may have to pass them up and hope for the next target to be a bit easier.
right now, you have a better chance at finding AI if you sit for 20 minutes and then wander around in a radius of 100m, with herds randomly spawning you will have to roam up to multiple kilometers but have a lot of food in turn
I think one of the issues is now is that AVA is spawning in too close to said carni, and it should spawn when they are close to starvation. Im sub rex now and when im at 70% food level theres a very high chance avas spawn in that will fill me up all the way to 100%
Sounds more fun Sam, though I'd like it if the herds roamed and came by, so you'd be able to keep an area, knowing that things would come by reasonably often, giving you the chance to hunt and get food to sustain yourself
and avas are loud as fuck and could draw in other carnis
I dont mind them being loud, they just give to mutch food.. ??
It’s fine, but it makes the bigger dinos an easy catch
I think the food value is fine, sounds to me the issue is when they spawn, if anything. Ai should only spawn at.. 30% or less food, until then, you can and should prioritize players, but after that, it might be worth taking an ai to boost the food before going back after players?
@dark hedge im sorry but if you play on no alt-turn servers thats your problem
It would be cool to keep an area, but right now the areas are way too small, often limited to two smaller lakes or one big lake, and with the herds not specifically spawning close, you would have to expand your territory a bit. you can also roam the whole island as you don't have to wait for AI to spawn close to you, because right now it feels like your get more AI if you stay in one place
not a valid suggestion if its not from an official server lel
Looks like I’m going to use the Cerato then
Look at the hunger: im not even at 50 % food level and the Ava is already spawning in again..no way im gonna starve like this 
Absolutely destroy everyone
ok
just don't play on no alt turn servers. It's an important game mechanic, it just needs an animation so nobody complains about 'dinos being ballerinas'
The [ and ] buttons cycle left and right between Local, Group, and Global
It seems getting an Ava spawn is a dice roll. Ava are currently served to us on a silver platter though...there needs to be some improvements to them to keep the challenge.
In terms of making Apex survival more challenging. There needs to be a broader approach to “surviving” other than eat not to starve, drink to not die of thirst and dont get killed. The current survival model is too narrow, and therefore, any attempt to balance or make survival challenging through those three areas ends up being too heavy handed and annoying.
We need additional threats to survival to broaden the spectrum of survival challenges.
That should go for all critters though, not just apexes, unless they should have less challenges? :p
Hey can we stop using alt turn as an excuse for a dinosaur not having a good turn radius? From what I’ve heard, alt turn isn’t gonna be around after the combat overhaul, so anyone who thinks a Dino is balanced simply because it can alt-turn to defend itself, can drop it already.
well It will hopefully be there in some form, just slower and with a proper animation
Avas should probably be able to fight back a bit. As it is now, they just kinda run in circles.
@verbal acorn
I totally agree, maybe some infection system.
Or at least advanced wounds from hunting large prey
@lone crypt you can stop lying to yourself my dude..and speculation and false expectations arent good for your health
Dondi already said this morning that soon it will be permanent.............
DondiToday at 5:56 AM
Going to be awkward when alt turn disabling is removed.
@lone crypt
my friends and I don't play on official because of alt turn
will have to quit playing all together if they remove the ability to disable it
it's a core game mechanic
so how does it help and how is it not destroying the whole point of dinos having different turning abilities
it helps in that with alt turn you can negate buttriding
If you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a cliff, you need to be able to turn around without walking off the cliff. Every animal on land can turn in place.
and alt turn isn't an instant turn, rex's alt turn is still pretty slow
*and cliffs
so basically why play anything other than rex because rex should have no weakness
The biggest issues are alt turn is not consistent (gigas is instant, allos is slow) and there is no animation
rex is an animal in a game, it should have weaknesses
Most don't
the default alt turn "animation" is the dino's walk turn animation, just slowed way down
so if working properly it won't be a turn on a dime type thing?
Then there are clearly bugs in that because that is not true for all dinos
Look, Wattzson
Stand in place
Don't move, then turn around
You can turn on a dime
Dogs can do this
Ostriches can do this
Snails can do this
hell, elephants can do this
You just have to be stationary
The only things that can't move in the air or water when they can't
It's so dumb when people try to rationalize video game mechanics with reality
I mean, it's our frame of reference
Turn radius still matters in movement, and we need something to prevent people from just staying behind someone "forever", since that doesn't make for fun combat, and not fun for the one that can't do much about it.
Only if you decide for it to be
So.. if you dislike alt turn, come up with a better alternative to it that works better and prevents assriding just as well, if not better even :p
a better frame of reference could be making a decent combat mechanic for a survival game
Part of the selling point of this game is immersion, it's hard to be immersed if you are constantly having to suspend your disbelief that a fully functional predator can't turn around and bite the thing behind it
Look, that is coming
There is going to be a combat overhaul
They've been talking about it for some time now
The devs are doing a re-work of the base code of the game to make that happen
Collision will exist. No more "stand inside the butt and bite"
Locational damage will be a thing
until we get the combat overhaul, alt turn is essential to counter buttriding
no more "rex bit the tip of my tail, now I'm dead"
Yes
Exactly
Please take a moment and consider that you are trying to emotionally manipulate an entire team of developers because the game doesn't work exactly how you want it to
Which is what you're doing, threatening to quit the game if you don't get your way
Thank you for your consideration. Happy dino-ing!
Imagine saying someone not liking how the game works is emotional manipulation
But I agree alt turn isn’t needed
Dondi has ruled his ruling, good luck changing it.
Alt-turn is a reasonable stand in as a simplified mechanic to provide a large dino protection/deterrence from being unrealistically ass-raped by smaller, more maneuverable dinos.
The desire to deactivate alt-turn is for the sole purpose of letting small dinos to grief large dinos. Alt-turn is and should be countered by one things....numbers.
Alt-turn deters the unrealistic and unbalanced soloing of larger, stronger dinos with a smaller, weaker one...but what people fail to mention is that well executed attacking with a reasonable amount of cumulative tonnage through packs defeats alt-turn.
Alt-turn isn’t granting large dinos invincibility, it encourages a much more realistic requirement for group tactics vs larger dinos.
what if nests increased the chance for ai to spawn nearby? it is influenced by the number of dinos around it, eggs hatched, gestang, and incubating. potentially lowering ai spawns aswell.
this would only allow sub adults to make such affects, or perhaps the ai spawn influence only begins once the nest owner is a full adult?
Some dinos like Utah do very little bleed to large dinos, something in the area of 0.25dmg/second (per bite), even though it LOOKS like they're bleeding more @weak herald
You can't die from bleed while sitting, bleed still heals naturally over time while standing. (Just slower)
@brazen wolf there is a way to make it visible all the time you just have to change it in settings
@kind blaze I'm with you on the elder mechanic. I've been drawing elder concepts for awhile now. I don't think it's anything that needs added until the game is totally done otherwise. It's a lot of work to make them unique enough to be worth the extra development. I'm sure they'll be modded in for realism servers even if we don't get official elders ever.
@weak herald will be a thing soon
@coarse shell Awesome, thank you 😃
Yeah I know I make my elders look huge in concepts I draw of them, but they're intended to only be a bit bigger than regular full sized adults.
Mostly just fatter.
i had the gentle thought of a hypo while looking at that
My elder trike definitely went a little over the top and into magna territory. Tried to dial up the herbivores and dial down certain carnivores with strains in mind. But anyway probably not how the team would end up doing it if they have official elders.
i feel like elders wouldnt be too different
just a lil bigger and looking olde
maybe scars yknow
Mhm, I heard Dondi on a stream play around with the idea of having male highlight colors go whiter.
ooo
Nothing set in stone, but something along those lines would be neat. Really anything to show you've been alive longer than others.
I just wanna see what allo mouths do. It looks like they have some sort of jaw gape restriction in their models and cannot open their jaw wide enough.
@nocturne skiff ThankYouIdidntKnowThat👌
@kind spire very much against involuntary, unnecessary calls
if there are any carnis around to hear the herbi 4-call then they would flock to the herbi and hunt it instead of eating whatever food's there
@kind spire i did offer a counter argument...
i doubt a pack of allos would bother sniffing for other food if they heard a para 4 call nearby
they'd just hunt the para
Right in 30 mins of a hunt to look for tracks and no further calls no one would ever sniff
You got it bro

I'm confused what you are meaning. You want herbivores to involuntarily 4 call, I get that. But why do you think they wouldn't hunt the living herbivore?
I feel like as a carnivore you'd hear a fear call in the area and approach as the rest are encouraged to evacuate. Meaning carnivore hears then semi homes in then sniffs when no sounds (unless someone has a death wish) as do others.. Unless the heribivore outside of the corpse range say.. Idk 20m keeps yelling.. Why chase what's gone when ya got free food.. Then canri stand off.. Herbs furthe away thus (realistically) and then the smart or strongest survive
They'd just eat the corpse and hunt the herbivore because it would be easy to track.
Think of it as a sirens call as the vulnerable flee and the ships or killers sail in
the carnis would hunt the herbis
Would they? Everyone just ran in
carnis on official will literally walk away from food to go hunt something
I'm kinda confused about your whole scenario, I've seen carnivore packs kill as much as possible to save food for later. They'll kill what's running then go back for the corpses that they've left behind.
I assume all of that has been visable
All of what?
The kills
Either way. They like to chase.
also
"no sounds (unless someone has a death wish)"
yes, because making noise in this game gets you killed
and you want to force herbis to 4-call if they walk into the vicinity of a dead body?
how would they even know if there was a body nearby?
They already plan to have it lower herbivore affinity to be too near a corpse right?
It does. It also gets your killer killed a lot of the time
Idk about the lower affinity..
I'm pretty sure that's the solution they will have for corpse guarding.
Sounds ok to me though. Out of sight out of mind
the heck is that supposed to mean? 😂
Side note :how would herbs know? Same way carnivore finds ai when close
i will definitely mind if i'm foraging for bushes but 4-calling every 5 seconds because there's a body nearby i can't see
carnivores find ai because it makes noise
Pretty sure it does, and the three dryos and dibbles I hit up don't agree
No shame old rather eat an an AI than your hour or two of work
Ai doesn’t spawn around her is anymore, only near carnis
Also imagine you kill a taco that is screaming, what happens? You start 4 calling cause you killed a taco, which means your dead if any carnivore is nearby
Bummer was that the new update? What about the velico, that chases tiny herbs and carnis
3 dryos and dibbles don't agree with.....what?
i really don't know what you're hoping to accomplish here. To make herbis more easily tracked, like the noisy ai...?
An immediate punishment for simply being near a corpse doesn't make sense. It would doom herbivores even if they're playing smart and planning to leave the area of the body as soon as they happen upon it, or have murdered something. Only once they stay on top of a corpse to guard it for a period of time should there be any negative effect in my opinion.
^
@junior jacinth that'll be happening sometime already, oro and taco were never meant to give this much food anyway
Or let’s imagine a different scenario, you are in a big herd with a dryo, Utah charges through and kills the dryo, the whole herd starts screaming for basically no reason at all. Giga comes up and kills half the herd, and then allos come and bam herd is gone.
Not saying they need to 4 call on cool down.. Just once per minute till they get out of the area on smell alone... More of a broadcast as they assure "something died here"and gtfo.. Maybe one per 5 mins.. You just need to know before you gtfo and alert a general area. Same goes for a kill for a carnivore.. Some claim roar should go out on auto
Just...no
No. No please.
why tho
Idk.. Irks an idea
@coarse shell hope so soon, playing carnivore has been too easy since the implementation of AI. I'm aware it is a crutch currently, but it can still be tuned for better balance.
Yo can’t force something to make noise
That’s a death sentence in the isle if you don’t know
if i come across a random body i'll want to make LESS noise in case whatever killed it is still around
At least you shouldn't force a player who is playing well to make noise. For example you take damage and make a noise when starving because you've played poorly to allow yourself to begin starving.
I mean you can force hitman to have people see people you killed.. I just don't know the balance needed to keep from corpse guarding or trying to hide it
corpseguarding is a player behavior, not part of the core gameplay
we dont need herbs yelling every minute because a corpse is in their personal space
Corpse guarding for a carni or an herbi?
You know what else will fix corpse guarding
herbs guarding corpses
Corpse dragging 
The devs are trying to find ways to mitigate improper behavior via mechanics and consequences, affinity will solve it.
Hilla's right though, with negative affinity impact for herbivores staying too close to a body for too long combined with body dragging. Issue will be fixed.
I got that, but for those that cannot drag, what is the negative incentive? Id figure herbivores in close contact screaming to call bigger carnivores would help
calling in bigger carnivores would do the opposite of help
It would feed the bigger carnivores exclusively.
You can already scream like crazy to attract something to eat your foes lol
I mean they need more food as well? Idk.. I'm not a paid game dev. It's ultimately just a thought experiment
I just have felt like the added danger to a signal is where the majority of where the fun and excitement begins. At least for me 90% of it is like yeah I need to run and hide and I only yell over any food to survive. I don't usually play herbi though.
I'd figure screams only around a corpse as you run or walk away would be a good survival thing
I think people are just saying you need to let the player choose if they want to call or not. Maybe there will be some positive affinity for calling like to establish territory to make it worthwhile.
But if I'm wrong that's fair
True..
It just seems so hard to balance if you don't force at least one aspect on each subclass..
Idk maybe a 5 call that neither half could hear even? It almost sounds fair
I really have nothing..
Dalton Reutlinger really needs a cohost.. Unpopular opinion ik
While I enjoy the asmr aspect of his isle videos..
If you want more than oof more
Idk
Having a choice in a game is nearly always better than forcing something on the player, even if it is as simple as a 4 call. That and I don't think it makes sense anyway, I doubt any prey-animal that wanders into the vicinity of a predator territory calls a bunch unless it's a sentry warning a herd...in which case the players would do that themselves.
I heard also that affinity thing? Like herbivores acting non-herbivore like in the game (being near carnis/corpses) causes their DNA to degrade or something that's already a negative effect? I haven't had a chance to keep up with videos but that's what some VCs I heard were saying.
@lone hatch I'm almost positive that they'll allow servers to turn off certain factions. Humans have always been planned, they aren't going to just cancel them.
If I’m honest I don’t like the concept of humans, but I roll with it, in the early stages where humans will probably eat too op a lot of servers will turn them off, later when humans are balanced I wouldn’t have that much problems with em
I would start killing all humans as galli 
@silver dagger but then community will divide
What?
Sorry now better
Oh, well yeah that's kind of the point. The playerbase is only going to grow with the inclusion of the other factions, it's important to have server options to cater to different subsections of the community.
Ye I hope they will add this option
Like I said, almost positive they will. I'm sure plenty of people will want to have servers with only regular dinosaurs and no strains, only dinosaurs + tribals but no mercenaries, literally any combination of the factions to suit the desires of the server owner. I wouldn't worry too much about it just yet.
Actually we kinda want players to kill ai, that way you have a reason going herbivore without anything that sees you wanting to kill you to sustain itself
And getting buffs by kills is a real bad idea, since you could basically end up with Rex chasing down carnos
You would have mini hypos with less hunger drain
Have you played herbivore without anything trying to kill you? It's just a sit around and eat simulator. Now I'm not saying AI should be taken out completely and rely on us strangling each other for sustenance like it used to be, no the AI is a great addition but it also needs to be balanced in a way that people actually play the game again. But yeah that's why I said not game breaking, maybe Rexes wouldn't be able to gain speed or if any make it very little, whatever works for balance's favor but still fun and rewarding.
Did you try playing herbivore before ai ? You had no other choice then to hide, since literally EVERYTHING went after you cuz your a herbivore
Also this could be job for affinity
Who knows
Also another reason people aren’t killing herbs is there are almost none since they are really bad in some cases
And need to be in corner of the map
Oh yeah I remember, but like I think with the overly fattening AI at the moment we hit the scale all the way the other side and now need some balance back. This is just an idea I feel would also make every player unique not just "another Rex or Allo and we know how fast or strong it is".
The ai is getting fixed soon
I mean yeah they could fix the AI, or maybe take a few things out of my suggestion to implement some more interesting gameplay then what we have now.
who said no one hunts herbis
every herbis always get the time the he was hunted
all players attracted to herbis
like shants are untouchable
And getting buffs for killing herb juvies or subs would break the game
Who said it had to be Juvies?
Then subs
Or Subs?
"of course balanced enough not to make it game breaking"
Devs can take that as they will.
hoy lads, so quick question, what's your favorite dino and why ? ^_^
Wrong channel.
Again affinity will give you buffs in reasonable way
Pretty sure devs will make it so you can’t feed you adult Rex entirely off ai
Without bad affinity
I still feel affinity should be something working against you, making you play how the dino is supposed to be. The extra buffs would help you resist affinity, rewarding you with an easier way to survive if just slightly for the more effort you put.
Yeah that's what I mean basically, I'm not saying a Rex should gain Galli speed for catching one.
But buffs from kills is still way too easy
I can just imagine rex getting gali speed now... the horror
Living off AI is way too easy.
And it will be punished
Shit don't say that my Maia was just jumped by a Rex.
Maia has momentum a bit so it will catch you f close enough in a forest
Would be nice to be rewarded by something worthwhile like a buff after killing player dinos.
It was night and my friend led a Rex to me.
The affinity system will most likely have something similar. The reward is getting the stronger version of your dino.
And this could promote KOS in a way
Reward for every kill is instant gratification, this game relies more on time-spent playing than just getting kills.
Instead of killing 1 para, you kill entire herd to get a bigger buff
They could always give the buff a timer when you can gain again, something reasonable.
But also this game is meant to be a survival game, kill or be killed. Also in the same way it can make people think twice about getting reckless, dying and losing your buffs.
Or it will make you more and more reckless since your bigger and better
Balance is the key.
do bushes spawn like AI? I think they're just randomly placed all over the map, aren't they?
Yes
"yes" to which?
they spawn randomly
i can't show you any Dev confirmation but it's what i can tell you out of experience
so its not confirmed
Tbh there are areas that are completely barren on bushes
So that’s why they are not moving that much
intention*
because unlike ai (again from my experience) they do have set spawn points
but it's random if they spawn at those point
you can actually test this is you dont play on an official dev server
They should rollback to the previous hunger values for adult giga and rex since the new AI is in the game.
if you sit at one point on the map where there are a lot of bushes then the server crashes the bushes spawns reset themselves
So you're saying they have a set location?
And regenerate slowly after being eaten?
@lime olive
Yes
they have set spawn locations i think
That was my belief too, glad someone shares it.
then if you eat one bush completetly it respawns somewhere else
but there are certain places on the map witch dont seem to have spawn locations
again this is all from my own experience/testing no actual dev confirmation at all
Val, bushes doesn't despawn.
You can still see their model, just without leafes.
And they grow back extremely slow.
never seen them regrow actually could be a thing ill have to check that
@fleet flax both males and females I'll need to take part in order to nest
yea for now you dont need a male to nest, but will eventually
It would be cool if AI actually got thirsty/hungry and had to eat and drink. Might be hard to code though 😄
it would probably be doable but takes a lot of time to code in, time they rather spend on other things
but yeah would help make the world feel just that bit more "alive" 😄
bushes do 'despawn' after a server restart, the bushes are not in the same spot all the time
but who knows, I'm personally very impressed at the rate they are shooting out updates lately
Does anyone have something I've missed in my suggestions? In my mind they would work out but I'm not sure if I thought about all aspects
and even they release the update like commonly its content actually worth it
in the next month we might have locational damage
this month body dragging
I don't think so, aren't they focusing on the code rework the next months?
not all of them are gems, it show they are actively working on new features and additional content
I would not expect any updates until late april
dragging a live dino into the water as sucho and drowning it 
maybe not as sucho but as deino
😄
that would be... the best way to troll 😛
dino torture
"tell me what I want to know! or ill waterboard you!"
yeah and like the dragging it speed is affected by the size if it is 3/4 of the dinos weight it cant be drag in , but if it less it can , and also if it has lower weight it can be drag in faster and so if it has more weight it will have to be drag in slower
Yeah I was just thinking a gali or something when I said sucho
and stamina drain would need to be taken into acount
Deino could probably drag a whole para in
depends on how long it has grown, maybe if it's been around long enough it could drag a rex? I'm not sure if it's true but I've heard deinos will not stop growing until they are so big they can't get enough food to sustain themselves
Even shant and spino weigh more than rex 😄 would be interesting to see the possibilities
well i think there will be a limit to it's size, think there would be to many gameplay issues if they could actually grow for ever
I think the limit will be set with hunger drain
People would also know to avoid such a creature, except the blind ones
what do you guys think about adding in survival hypo classes?
the devs have plans on having hypers playable, but I think that will be in the far future as they never talked about how the hypers (and potentially other strains) will be implemented. I hope it will be very hard and annoying so the servers aren't full of hypers all the time
I hope there will be no more than 1-2 strains at a time per server, even that is pretty much if you think about how strong and fast hypers are
i agree, 1-2 max
first three ideas are nice, but I feel like wind affecting your scent could be annoying, and I don't really get what benefits you would have from marking your territory as it would either lure in big carnivores or give yourself away for potential prey
@fading shadow doesnt that just promote excessive killing
@clear turret where are people getting "the in-game sun sets at 4pm"? This is the second time I've seen someone complain about it and I don't...get it?
is there an in-game clock that i haven't enabled?
also the entire day-night cycle takes roughly an hour, going off of music cues, but night seems longer because of the extra five minutes of darkness at dawn and dusk
so day is like 20 minutes and night is 40
its not a hypo
gotta try a new strat
@lament thorn yes it is
The deino never stops growing
It grows into hypo size
With hypo hunger
hypos dont grow
It’s not called a hypo
big doesnt equal hypo
But it’s fundamentally the same
can you find the confirmation that its hunger drains like a hypo cause that seems very impractical for an ambush creature that has to wait for its food to come to it
They devs said it will progressively keep growing until its hunger is unsustainable
Go scroll through offical answers, ya lazy Para bastard


@violet magnet
In the bottom right corner is the in-game clock
iirc it doesnt need to be enabled, it is just hard to find heh
@brazen wolf You REALLY don't like it XD
So 80% of the server being apex rn
Does that not... conflict?
With a 5% success rate?
apex will kill apex
Apex growing is ez.
Who Sit in the corner
But not hard.
after growth they like to have fun
80% of the server, apparently.
only to be get killed by other apex
I grew one last night and kamikaze into an apex fam
All sat around doing jackshit
It's easy peasy chicken squeezy
5% chance? what
so 12 hour would be too much of investment
I mean
No, it's not; because they'd all need to invest 12hrs
herbs got easy life too
He said you will become fresh apex at a normal rate
Increasing growth time is the worst way to solve a problem
why ant you complaing about herbs
What? Herbs have it harder than predators atm.
FULL apex will take 12hr
I would like unlockable apexes with 7 hours
than 12 hrs
fucking with
apex
tbh
what
My idea still gets your apex after like 6hrs lmao
even thought its 6 hours
Just not 1.0 Apex.
not alot of players will make it
ok
so increasing time will only make it hard
Does a fresh adult Giga lose to 1 Allo?
and frustrating if dead
Fresh adult apexes can still stand on their own
make it hard in a boring way
allo too strong please nerf
Are you currently unable to survive on these servers you play on? :p
What?
You're all bothered by something that isn't an actual issue though xD
did you hear the part where they succeeded at growing
try growing apex in 200 slot server
Literally over half of the server is apexes. They are quite literally eating the server
Lock apexes
Watt: Can you survive or not?
if they invest time they deserve to eat
othher playrs
You know my view on that xD
bye solved
Raptor did you hear the part where half of the server are apexes
imagine half the server eating the other half
who told you that
THE CHAT HAS BEEN SAYING THAT
I THINK it's depends on the server
most of the players are mid tire players
The whole time
The best way to control apex numbers is to make it so that AI doesn't spawn around apexes. That way the server can only sustain a certain number of apexes since they require other players or AI spawned by other players for food. It will also limit pack sizes to 1-2 since bigger packs will starve. Longer grow times is interesting but wont curb apex numbers.
not alot of players like to spend 7 hoours on dino
over 60 people on a 100 player server
Apparently are fine
With spending 6hrs growing Apex
you guys need profile pics it'll be hard to distinguish between uncle and pseudo
atleast 3-4 days
6 hour is hard bro
Pseudo has a good point
try growing giga
Dude, it isnt hard.
and talk to me after that
Watt
if ppl see you you dead
even utha could fk you up
As i've said making something harder with increased growth time is the worst thing ever.
Ricsi, normally I'd agree with you.
do you play on no alt servers
Truly.
Normally I'm all for harder gameplay
most ppl get pissed
it's almost impossible to survive
yes he did
try it today
If you think this is hard my guy...

no
i bet you wont survive a day
Staying alive... isn't relevant to the discussion?
I played apex last night. Grew it on 1st try by afking in a corner.
I kamikazed into an apex fam because I realized I was contributing to their cancerous numbers and wanted to die.
We are stating how easy obtaining apex is.
We talking growth
^^^^
i had a 90% success rate growing a giga before the buffs, so if it's not easy for you now you're doing something really fucking wrong
thank kev
well 12 hour is too much to ask to play apex
the growth time is ok
right now
and it's hard
You can be an apex in six hours
not so easy
I did
I told you how I died earlier
if so easy for you and dont like it dontplay
There's too much of them and it needs to end
Too much according to you at least :p
Nono the issue is. Apexes are literally taking over the server

That's a terrible argument uncle like
The bias of this dude is unreal
Potato, my suggestion is about offsetting how powerful you are for the time you spend growing.
I'd be ok with 10-12 hours if the stats didn't scale proportionally, but would get better faster at the start of the adult phase and only very slowly at the end, so a full grown rex can't completely fuck over a 9 hour rex. should of course be stronger, but not that much
GIGA SHOULD BE GOD AND KILL EVERYTHING IN THE ISLE BECAUSE I SAY SO AND IT'S MY FAVOURITE DINO 😠 😠 😠
Yeah but isn't 10 hours already better than 6
Apexes literally heal raptor bites when running

do you play on non alt servers
Apexes demolish raptors now
Explains everything
Raptors are like fleas to apexes
If you die to a raptor as an apex you might want to reconsider life
no they are not anti
And take a good moment to think what are you doing wront
Yes they are
i have seen 2 rex geting harrased by bunch of raptors
Harassed
How the fuck
Not killed
Depends on if you have alt turn or not :p
Erik Alt turn servers are all that matter.
I get harassed every day by my mom boi.
LOL

Harassing and killing are different things
Local man is slayed by mom, who then gives him CPR, daily
If you play on servers that cancel a vital game mechanic made to counter utahs and dilos riding you
they kill rex easy
They don't
That's a lie
sub have no chance
no it's not
I know that Watt.. xD
Yes it is
Yes it is
they too fast
you just suck at the game
so who wants to grow 12 hour dino just to get killed by bunch of raptors
Trust me utahs just think they're doing damage to an adult apex
Im sorry but if you die to raptors as apex you're doing something terribly wrong
If being an apex is so hard
why is 90% of the server Rex or Giga?
you don't get killed by raptors as an apex unless you let them bite you for 10 minutes
You will not die to raptors as a full grown apex unless you're bad at being an apex, then you should maybe reconsider your dino selection
not 90 % mabe 10%
What do you do when you're getting attacked by raptors uncle
10%? 
What?
Are you high
I've never seen a single apex get killed by raptors
haha
Have you been on official
Mid tiers barely exist anymore
Are you baiting

only carnivores that exist are apexes and utahs
i dont see lot of apex around
And some Ceratos here and there
wat
What server are you on
I got killed as a .9 sub rex once but the raptor pack was 11 raptors big and I killed 5 of them
Your us servers must be so weird :p
you must not get around then
@brazen wolf What servers do you play on
I see an apex every corner i go
they must be
us 123
no alt turn
w t f
I don't believe you
they are subs
w b a t
Wasn't there already a time where apexes took that long to grow?
Lies
Again uncle do you play on servers without alt turn?
Or you are very lucky
what
not fully grown . they will be killed by mid tire players
xd?????????????
I see full grown apexes literally everywhere on official.
what do you play
I have seen
dilo
two allos since the update
Pachy and cerato
you could out run them
and one pack
i play d i l o
That's not the pount
That's not the point
Both Allos got killed by a Giga in front of me
sooo if you could run away what is the problem
why you want to make life of apex difficult
Apexes are everywhere, which obviously is a sign that they're too easy
The point is apexes have a higher population than mid teirs. Animals like sucho and diablo are practically extinct because of apex
as it alreasdy is
Trikes are also getting crushed pretty bad
It isn't difficult rn
nooo herbs are going extinct
apex life is supposed to be
you can't discuss with uncle raptor, I've tried it when they tried to convince me giga lost on a face tank pre patch although there was a gif in the chat showing giga wins
difficult
just becasue apex are fun to play dont make it difficult
Repeat for 6 hours
What?
@umbral prairie Gotcha
it's like talking with flat earthers
This is stupid
apexes will always be stronger
for eg make night darkerfor dillo
No dude
so pll start playing dillo
that wouldent make people play dilo
I love mid teirs, many people like mid teirs, but apexes are so strong and easy that thet're becoming the plauge
thats not how that works
It's like talking to people on a roblox discord server
so less apex
It's not because apexes are fun
i'm out
people would still play apex
rgiht now all ppl playing dillo playing other dino
It's because THEY ARE TOO EASY TO GROW
what
ambe apex
so ppl playing dillo play apex
NO
dillo is no good
fuck out
thats not dilos only problem first of all
This convo makes no sense on a logical scale
Why are we talking about dilo now
