brazen wolf
#

just like all ppl playing rex now

#

make giga attractiveto play

barren zephyr
#

hes trying to appeal to me

waxen elk
#

It's not because they're fun

brazen wolf
#

give them some stats

barren zephyr
#

cause i argue for better dilo and darker nights

waxen elk
#

It's because they're easy to grow

barren zephyr
#

but hes usingit to support hsi argument

#

which is bullshit

waxen elk
#

Dilo is fucking trash right now we get it

brazen wolf
#

noo they fun to play

#

why ppl play carno

waxen elk
#

"fun to play"

barren zephyr
#

because

brazen wolf
#

they too fast

waxen elk
#

Because they're easy

barren zephyr
#

to grow

brazen wolf
#

ppl dont lik to die

warm ridge
#

because carno is also easy

waxen elk
#

Carno

#

Too fast

barren zephyr
#

how about

#

listen

brazen wolf
#

they wantto defend or atleasthave to fight

barren zephyr
#

we delete large ai

#

and give apexes 10 min hunger

brazen wolf
#

so making apex more hard does not solve the problem

barren zephyr
#

they can fight eachother till theu all die

#

yes it does

#

it does solve the problem

viral creek
#

Making mid teirs attractive won't stop it, they're already fun. But, many people always want to be the strongest of the strong, no matter how boring it is.

brazen wolf
#

make other dino more attractive

warm ridge
#

do you even know what the problem is uncle

waxen elk
#

Making apexes harder does solve the problem

brazen wolf
#

so the apex population would decrease

waxen elk
#

because less people play them

#

and play other things

#

VARIETY

#

fucksake

brazen wolf
#

make herbs more attractive

warm ridge
#

woah

barren zephyr
#

very few people play weaker dinos by choice

brazen wolf
#

so ppl play herbs

barren zephyr
#

AH

waxen elk
#

You know what

barren zephyr
#

I KNOW HOW TO MAKE HERBIES MORE ATTRACTIVE

brazen wolf
#

so intrun less apex

waxen elk
#

Just delete apexes

barren zephyr
#

NERF THE APEXES

compact coyote
#

spending half a day to play a fully grown dinosaur is super fucking retarded

viral creek
#

Also making apex more time consuming would actually make me wanna play them more, for bragging rights sake

brazen wolf
#

right now apex is the bet

#

best

waxen elk
#

Delete Giga

jolly willow
#

Make herbs not so bloody boring

waxen elk
#

It sucks

jolly willow
#

Make apexes actually difficult

cyan flame
#

But making things "not fun" as a solution seems pretty dumb :p

barren zephyr
#

nerf apexes

#

boom

#

everything else is more attractive

waxen elk
#

Make them a challenge to grow

#

END

barren zephyr
#

yes

waxen elk
#

That simple

compact matrix
#

Small herbis are okay

brazen wolf
#

apex should nt be discourage to play

#

it's fun

compact coyote
#

^

waxen elk
#

NO

compact matrix
#

If you play diablo you are toast tho

cyan flame
#

As long as everything is challenging, fine :p

barren zephyr
#

thats

jolly willow
#

RN you can literally grow a giga/rex even if you play like a literal braindead retard

brazen wolf
#

why do pl play raptors

compact matrix
#

Too many rexes

nova ice
#

It also depends on what server you’re playing on as well, though all the Dino’s have different enough play styles some people will just outright hate playing certain ones. There’s also plenty of people that grow apex, get bored, then dive off a cliff. Once they adjust the ai more apex will be challenging enough.

jolly willow
#

Utah sucks man

barren zephyr
#

it needs to be challenging

jolly willow
#

No downsides

waxen elk
#

it's supposed to be a challenge

brazen wolf
#

thye are faster then rex and grows faster

#

it's fun

jolly willow
#

Fuck utah

viral creek
#

Lol I'm out imma continue my young apex killin spree

barren zephyr
#

people play utah

#

yes

waxen elk
#

This convo is

#

stupid

barren zephyr
#

but utah has its own problems

brazen wolf
#

ppl play carno

barren zephyr
#

seeing as it has literal no downsides

brazen wolf
#

you see lot of carno

barren zephyr
#

ppl play carno for the same reason

#

as they playapex

#

its ez to grow

brazen wolf
#

mae dillo plabale

barren zephyr
#

what

brazen wolf
#

so i woud sometime play dillo insted of apex

barren zephyr
#

uncle what dino do you play

#

apex?

brazen wolf
#

apex is fun right now

waxen elk
#

Giga

#

Only Giga

barren zephyr
#

apex will still be fun

waxen elk
#

:/

barren zephyr
#

just harder to get to

brazen wolf
#

i am playing triki right now

barren zephyr
#

you can have challenge and fun

waxen elk
#

bute!

brazen wolf
#

i liked giga before

#

not now

waxen elk
#

If giga hard it not fun!

brazen wolf
#

it's slow

waxen elk
#

!!!!!!!!!!!

#

!!!

nova ice
#

Also the “cool” factor. Trikes are just as easy to grow and strong but people would rather apex.

barren zephyr
#

giga is fast in its own way

#

with trot

brazen wolf
#

who like to grow 6 hour dino to get kille dby rex

waxen elk
#

Even tho Giganotosaurus is probably one of the most viable survival dinosaurs

brazen wolf
#

if he sees me

waxen elk
#

Literally out turn the fucker

#

Rex turns like a truck

#

Is argument is dumb and stupid

#

Makes no sense

#

Just make apexes an actual challenge

#

end

#

byue

nova ice
#

🤔

vague salmon
#

Once I see a carni apex as a trike I feel that it's over, especially with rexes being so rampant these days

umbral prairie
#

trike needs to be stronger, I hope it will be next to impossible to kill a trike from the front once locational damage is in the game

#

It's really not worth the growth time compared to the other apexes

barren zephyr
#

then it would have to be farily ez from behind

#

balance wise

#

so if you get an ambush u can

vague salmon
#

With it's terrible alt turn it's p easy in my opinion to tail trikes if u get it from behind

umbral prairie
#

yeah if a rex gets a trike neck from behind it should be pretty much over for the trike

#

I hope trike will be able to raise it's head up so the neck is protected but it has to have some downside so trikes don't constantly hold their heads up

vague salmon
#

I hope for something better than trike's current stomp, they're essentially free bites when they're doing it

umbral prairie
#

the stomp looks like it would do less damage to an apex than the normal attack bacause it rams it's horns down

barren zephyr
#

yea

#

if it lifted its head up it could be nasty

umbral prairie
#

maybe once dino collision is there trike can just run into something to impale it

#

and maybe the right click is putting it's head back as a defensive stance instead of a heavy attack

#

not sure how you could balance all of it though

nova ice
#

I have trouble still getting stuff to fight me on a ffa server unless they are paired, though in death match it’s easier to judge

#

Actually

jolly willow
#

ava ai is like

#

literally broken rn

brisk mesa
#

^^^

jolly willow
#

have you guys seen that one photo where theres like

#

a fucking million fo the little shits in one spot

brisk mesa
#

nah, send it 2 me

torpid wedge
#

a sleep for every dino is actually really interesting, what do you guys think?

jolly willow
brisk mesa
#

LOL

jolly willow
#

broken

#

ass

#

ai

torpid wedge
#

oh wow

jolly willow
#

also idk how sleep would really work

barren zephyr
#

honk

jolly willow
#

the resting is already there and its not like sleeping would really pass time considering this is a multiplayer game

#

would it not just be resting but eyes closed? or what do you have in mind

brisk mesa
#

that one Oro...

jolly willow
#

shh he wants to fit in

torpid wedge
#

of course, but resting and sleeping is different— you’d regain more stam and health but it would take a lot longer to get up

jolly willow
#

hmm.

torpid wedge
#

your screen would be black but you could still hear

jolly willow
#

i think it'd be cool

brisk mesa
#

Perhaps you would not regen Stamins

torpid wedge
#

as your eyes are closed

brisk mesa
#

But have way more HP regen?

jolly willow
#

yeah itd be for getting back health while you're alone

brisk mesa
#

Go to sleep after making a kill dondiWeSmart

torpid wedge
#

or for healing off hp during night when it’d be dark anyway

brisk mesa
#

Ye

torpid wedge
#

or that honestly

#

idk i like the idea LUL

jolly willow
#

i think itd fit in

barren zephyr
#

i like the idea of a dilo buff

jolly willow
#

but ye Ava ai is straight fucked rn

barren zephyr
#

heheeheheheheh

jolly willow
#

of course you do

#

dilo does seriously need some help rn tho

torpid wedge
#

ava is sooo loud

jolly willow
#

AAAAAAAAAAAA

brazen wolf
#

well dilo need it's balck night back with some super bleed power

#

speed is ok and turn is ok in my openion

clever leaf
#

"turn is ok"

waxen elk
#

turn is terrible

#

speed is mediocre

clever leaf
#

I wouldn't really mind the speed if only it turned better.

brazen wolf
#

for compensatation darker night and give different range on nv to different dino

torpid wedge
#

i’ve never gone dilo because i can shit on them really hard as practically every dino lmao

#

i think turn could help

clever leaf
#

^ see my point?

waxen elk
#

Dilo sucks right now

brazen wolf
#

ok i dont mind give it turn too if you like

#

raptor and dillo are the main opponent

#

so they must have pro and cons

torpid wedge
#

utah is just the better version imo, more agile/has jump/decent turn/fast

clever leaf
#

utah has way too much pros

#

that needs changing

waxen elk
#

Dilo should win the 1v1

torpid wedge
#

no it should be even

brazen wolf
#

All ppl like the perfect dino but dino shoud have cons aswell

clever leaf
#

either buff dilo's raw damage, or nerf utah's health to 900

#

then it would be more even

waxen elk
#

Utah has no cons

torpid wedge
#

besides less bleed

jolly willow
#

The thing is with dilo

#

It's gotten

#

SO

#

MANY

torpid wedge
#

but thats kinda obv

jolly willow
#

INDIRECT NERFS

#

That literally

waxen elk
#

less bleed you say?

jolly willow
#

the ONLY thing

waxen elk
#

20

jolly willow
#

it can hunt anymore

#

alone

#

is dryo

#

thats it

waxen elk
#

is still serious

jolly willow
#

its literally completely unviable alone, you HAVE to get into a pack to be useful

brazen wolf
#

and changing stat shuld be like little by little

jolly willow
#

every single other dinosaur will kill it.

brazen wolf
#

not like cerito getting 36 speed

jolly willow
#

It needs a turn buff and it needs to fuckin

brazen wolf
#

and saying a little change

jolly willow
#

catch up with every other dino

waxen elk
#

Cerato's speed is fine

jolly willow
#

because

#

theyve all ran off without him

#

in the literal sense

brazen wolf
#

even 1km matters alot

waxen elk
#

Dilo should be the slenderman of the isle

brazen wolf
#

in life and death

jolly willow
#

Well

torpid wedge
#

utah has less bleed?

jolly willow
#

i mean Dilo WAS

#

but now its

torpid wedge
#

am i wrong zesk

jolly willow
#

not

waxen elk
#

appears out of nowhere and then disappears into the forest

jolly willow
#

also Utah needs an actual downside to playing it

waxen elk
#

Utah has 20 bleed

torpid wedge
#

i mean utah also gets one shot by almost everything

jolly willow
#

i suppose

waxen elk
#

But hit the thing first

torpid wedge
#

and their hitboxes are messed up

#

because of the tails

waxen elk
#

Still

#

It jukes everything in the game

clever leaf
#

utah can just go onto utah rock to escape all its dangers

torpid wedge
waxen elk
#

except MAYBE Cerato

#

Utah doesn't need such a high ambush

brazen wolf
#

stats are important for dino to survie so the dave should be mind full of it

#

affect all dino

waxen elk
#

Take Cerato's 1.1 and give it to Utah

clever leaf
#

I like how utah's ambush is faster than carno, yet dilo's ambush is still slower than a utah.

waxen elk
#

and even then it would run at 47 km/h ambush

brazen wolf
#

just lke sever is crowed by apex right now

#

coz oter dino are not a viable choie

#

it's all ppl playing the game

#

so ppl live some good dinoto invest and have fun

#

not get killed easily . diying is not fun

#

killin is

jolly willow
#

Well apexes are basically on the same difficulty of growing as every other dino rn

#

Except they take slightly longer

#

The only threat you ever have is people hunting you the fuck down because you ARE an apex and they dont want you to live

brazen wolf
#

yes its already hard for apex and right now they could enjoy some time sitting

waxen elk
#

It's not hard for apexes.

brazen wolf
#

before it was not possible . i think they did agood job

#

as a apex ialways died of hunger before

#

food drain was crazy

#

and ai don't spawn

umbral prairie
#

I think you're doing something wrong, growing an apex is really not any harder than growing any mid tier

jolly willow
#

Apexes, with the ava AI and reduced hunger, are now basically on the same level of squatting you'd do w/ a sucho or herbivore

umbral prairie
#

it just takes longer

jolly willow
#

Just squat at some lake, eat some AI when you get hungry, drink when needed

#

Bam

#

free rex/giga

#

congrats

umbral prairie
#

and right now it's easier than ever because of reduced hunger and avas

brazen wolf
#

sammel either you have no idea of waht it was like growing a apezx or you just pro

umbral prairie
#

I'm pretty bad actually

brazen wolf
#

right now it's bettter life of apex

#

they could relax

#

after a grusome 6 + hours

umbral prairie
#

I never made it to adult but that was because I made some easily avoidable mistakes

brazen wolf
#

so you have no idea

#

i have died as a adult not finding any food

#

starving to death is not fun

#

right now it's awsome ppl could actually enjoy

umbral prairie
#

I have been in adult stage and didn't have many problems finding food, I just never got to full adult because I did some stupid stuff

brazen wolf
#

before life of apex was crazy

umbral prairie
#

It wasn't fun being an apex because of the constant food search

brazen wolf
#

keep on looking and hunting

waxen elk
#

Apex is too easy

brazen wolf
#

just to finding no one

waxen elk
#

end.

umbral prairie
#

but rn it's a little easy

waxen elk
#

Apexes grow to the point of struggling to find food

brazen wolf
#

now its ok before it was not

waxen elk
#

because nothing can really touch them

#

now it's ok

brazen wolf
#

lot of ppl dont play apex and like to comment alot

umbral prairie
#

I have made a little suggestion on hadrosaur AI and how it would affect apex gameplay

#

some hours ago

waxen elk
#

lot of ppl dont play apex

#

ah yes

#

even though 80% of the server is apex

#

10/10 logiv

brazen wolf
#

so its fun to play apex

umbral prairie
#

I don't know if it would work but if it worked like it does in my mind it could make apex fun and make apexes migrate a bit

brazen wolf
#

so they play

languid ember
#

yesterday i saw 3 rexes getting pulled up on by 5 other rexes and while the rexes that survived were healing 3 gigas come say hi

#

"lot of ppl dont play apex"

brazen wolf
#

dont punishthem for liking apex

waxen elk
#

Its fun because it's easy

brazen wolf
#

haha

waxen elk
#

punishment?

#

Im sorry

brazen wolf
#

yes suggestion 12 hour to grow is too much

waxen elk
#

But this ammount of apexes is a punishment for literally everyone else

leaden night
#

Consistently seeing 5 rexes packed together is pain

brazen wolf
#

6 hour is too much

waxen elk
#

ok then 10 hours

#

WHAT????????

umbral prairie
#

wdym punish them, it can be fun and hard at the same time, just like it can be easy and not fun at all because the only thing you have to do is sit in a bush

brazen wolf
#

let them kill eachother

#

giga is no friend of giga

umbral prairie
#

dafuq how is 6 hours too much

brazen wolf
#

they fighting all the time

waxen elk
#

ah yes

#

6 hours is too much?

#

FOR AN APEX

#

WHAT?!?!?!

#

Should be 8

jolly willow
#

What if servers actually gave us a number of people playing all the dinos

astral forge
#

6 hours seems long but these are apexes

#

APEXES

brazen wolf
#

Rex is no Friend of giga

waxen elk
#

How much hours should apexes take then?

brazen wolf
#

And giga no Friend Of Rex

torpid wedge
#

i disagree

brazen wolf
#

So they kill Eachother while you enjoy

pulsar lake
#

6 or 7 hours for apex is good when you are bad and don't know where growth.

torpid wedge
#

i’ve had tried to get apexes to kill one another

pulsar lake
#

After when you have practise, it's easy

umbral prairie
#

I'd be fine with 10 if the adult stage was made longer, not sub and juvie, and if the stats for growing adults wouldn't increase proportionally to their growth but would increase fast at first and slower when they're close to full adult

torpid wedge
#

and they’d rather part ways than risk losing their dino

#

literally had that instance happen yesterday when i was a utah and my pack was leading two apexes to one another

#

they kept their distance and both backed off

leaden night
#

No one wants to spend another 100-ish minutes as a juv

torpid wedge
#

was a Zzz

leaden night
#

Apex growth is long and boring

astral forge
#

exactly

pulsar lake
#

Normal

umbral prairie
#

and pretty easy

pulsar lake
#

To demotivate player to play it

umbral prairie
#

It needs to be harder but also more fun

torpid wedge
#

harder but also more fun

#

that’s easier said than done

umbral prairie
#

So something else than afk sitting in a bush

pulsar lake
#

When you are sub rex it's fun

#

But giga

#

Only adult

jolly willow
#

You shouldnt be able to squat at a lake as a juvi/subadult rex

torpid wedge
#

sub giga sucks

jolly willow
#

Adult rex should have average/semislow hunger drain as a reward

pulsar lake
#

You can follow a river

jolly willow
#

Compared to sub/juvi rex hunger drain

pulsar lake
#

And hunt people

umbral prairie
#

This was my suggestion on how to make apexes not sit around the same lake for hours

Here's a little suggestion on AI herds. If there will ever be AI hadrosaur herds, it would be cool if they didn't spawn near hungry carnivores, but instead randomly in more open areas. They could also wander around the map a bit (maybe wander from lake to lake?). This way, bigger carnivores like rexes can't stay in one place for hours because the AI spawns very close to them, but they have to roam around a bigger territory trying to find a herd. Once they found a herd, they can follow it and kill a herd member from time to time. Of course the carnivores shouldn't constantly run around panicking because they can't find a herd, so there would still be some smaller AI around. It would be a cool way to encourage players to not stay at one lake all the time, because it feels like you get more AI by sitting in the same spot than roaming around.

#

Again, idk if it would work but imo it would make playing apex less boring, because right now your survival chance is the biggest if you stay in one place for AI to spawn

brazen wolf
#

i Think Right now is better insted of risking . I like to aft

#

afk

umbral prairie
#

right now it's easier but also boring

#

Idk what makes you like to afk

#

I mean afk growing is literally the most boring thing you can do in a game imo

#

explain pls

brazen wolf
#

growing a apex takes 6 hours

#

it's borking as hell to paly 6 hours continuosly . haveing stress

#

if you like having stress then its another thing

#

and get found by a pack ater 4 hours and killed

#

it's no fun bro

viral creek
#

Are you guys stull having this conversation

brazen wolf
#

Just afk and enjoy straming

umbral prairie
#

I don't think you should have stress constantly, having fast hunger drain is also stupid

#

but I think once you're adult it could be fun to roam around a bit

brazen wolf
#

it's stressfull to grow apex especially rex

umbral prairie
#

I mean what do you want with a full grown apex if the only thing you do is sitting in a bush with it

brazen wolf
#

juv get hungry and thristy in lik e15 minutes

#

just enjoy the game

#

and the sound of the thunder

umbral prairie
#

not really, rex juv needs it's first meal fairly fast but after that it's really easy

brazen wolf
#

crickets cracling

#

Right now imop apex is good in hunger

#

they good on growth

#

all they need to do is balance the dinos

#

You like to go roming the go but you wont survive long

#

as an apex

#

different play style

umbral prairie
#

the hunger drain is fine, I just think playing apex is easier if you sit in one place and I think once you're adult you should have to roam a bit, not meaning you should panic all the time but a bit of roaming would make it less boring, rn you don't have a reason to roam tho

brazen wolf
#

you think its easy but it's not

#

you know the feeling to go out for a drink as a sub. after plahying 4 hours

umbral prairie
#

I don't think it's easy, I know from experence that it is

brazen wolf
#

2 minute is like a 15 minute

umbral prairie
#

I've been sub rex a lot

brazen wolf
#

it's a thrill

#

more ppl more harder

coarse thicket
#

It’s not very easy but it’s too easy.

brazen wolf
#

so if they manage to reach apex then let them enjoy

#

why complain

coarse thicket
#

I’m kind of tired of seeing 10 different gigas in less than 20 minutes

brazen wolf
#

if it's easy then play it

umbral prairie
#

II never died because of hunger or anything, just because of stupid things that were my fault and could have been easily avoided, without these things I would have been adult 10 times already

brazen wolf
#

you be he giga too and eat other giga

#

and control the population

coarse thicket
#

... and have even more apexes? Yeah just going to go ahead and bring over more gigas to eat the ones that already exist.

umbral prairie
#

Ok this is not going anywhere. UncleRaptor thinks apex is too hard, we can't change that even if we all think differently

coarse thicket
#

Ikr

#

Even though over 50% of the server is apexes now lol.

umbral prairie
#

would be a bit annoying, I think you should only die of old age when you played like 60 hours on one dino

#

yeah apex is too easy, but maybe uncleraptor has bad luck or sth

coarse thicket
#

There could probably be a hardcore game mode with it or something but it would be annoying in normal gameplay.

umbral prairie
#

I think it should be hard to even survive long enough to get old

coarse thicket
#

Then again, it’s not really about their skill in apexes but how easy it is for everyone as a whole. If the server is swamped with apexes then something is going on.

umbral prairie
#

So it doesn't limit your fun with your dino

coarse thicket
#

Yeah

torpid wedge
#

@hollow marlin i think thats a ridiculous idea and i think i heard in a stream once that that would never happen

hollow marlin
#

Sorry for my translation. And that the dinosaurs can sleep recovering the double of stamina but without having to see outside but if you listen

coarse thicket
#

The sleeping aspect is nice but old age would be a bit annoying.

#

At least negative aspects of old age

umbral prairie
#

I don't think it's a stupid idea, but it would have to be very long until you get old so like 98% of the players would die before reaching it

hollow marlin
#

Well, I'm glad to hear your opinions, thank you very much!

torpid wedge
#

^ not only that, imagine having spent so long on one dino successfully terrorizing shit and then dying of old age...

#

i think if there are positives to old age then okay but having a dino deteriorate over time would be

#

idk i’d rather die in battle than achy breaky bones

umbral prairie
#

It would be annoying if it were like 10 hours of adult gameplay with that dino, but if it were something like 80 hours, it would be very hard to even survive for that long and you would maybe even get tired of playing that dino up to that point. Only issue is that if the devs were to implement this it would cost a lot of money to make elder dino models and it wouldn't be worth it because close to no one would even get to that stage

violet magnet
#

@weak herald the amount of footprints you leave behind is currently tied to how you move
sprinting leaves lots of footprints, walking and crouching leave barely any footprints, and trotting leaves an amount somewhere in between

hollow marlin
#

@umbral prairie Thinking it well now, I agree perfectly with you!

umbral prairie
#

It's intentional so it's not as easy to follow a dino using scent unless it was sprinting, a couple of months ago every step made a footprint and you could not hide from anything hunting you unless you had more speed and stam

#

I hope scent won't be bound to footprints as much as it is rn, I think it's not the final form of the scent mechanics

#

I don't think ice age animals would fit in with what the game is eventually supposed to become, especially with the lore and just the general game idea

jolly willow

viral creek

@royal pewter

Just wanted to mention, there was no official wolves in the game.

That wolf was part of a mod

@viral creek aahh I see, thanks for clearing that up m8

barren zephyr

i see many ppl complaining about balance, too many apex, few herbs, etc...and..i have to agree that theres lack of balance in the game, megapacks, 90% of the playerbase probably only play apex and plague the servers with it. The solution is simple and was already said that in the future would be ingame to make life a living hell for players. I see to many ppl playing like retards and few ppl behaving like a dino...affinity system. The game has it is now is pushing some ppl away and i dont blame the ppl that leave tbh, the most urgent thing for the devs to do regarding updates should be balancing the game so that solo or groups could enjoy it more and for that we need the affinity system to arrive to the game.

@royal pewter I think Dondi had stated once that he would love to make a short faced bear and add it to the game, so who knows, maybe :)

umbral prairie
#

never heard of that, would also not like it too much

#

would give me too much of an ark feeling

topaz sierra
#

I think it was a post on twitter a few years back, at least I remember Anthomnia mentioning it

#

On one of his videos

lament thorn
#

All the mammals would probs have to be super oversized and buffed to be able to even survive with the dinos

topaz sierra
#

Ye probably

viral creek
#

I mean...

#

He did say he liked them lol

#

Doesn't mean they'll be ingame

topaz sierra
#

Yes, that's exactly the post I was talking about

#

And yes, it also does not mean anything

clever leaf
#

prehistoric mammals don't really have a place in the isle

#

their niche is taken by the dinosaurs

compact coyote
#

are you sure about that?

jolly willow
#

yes, most niches that a mammal would plop into for the game are already taken by creatures

#

maybe someday if its a cool one and its got a unique niche, sure

lament thorn
#

Even the dinos are competing for niches with each other since survival isn't finished at all and the abilities haven't been added

jolly willow
#

ye

compact coyote
#

i dont see a big ass omnivorous quadraped in the game

but hey, thats just me

@lone crypt

#

Alt turn is getting an animation

#

My guy

lone crypt
#

Ik, but I figured that a more realistic movement would

#

Fuck it nvm

royal pewter
#

Anyone know where I can find any up to date lore information?

coarse thicket
royal pewter
#

Cool

umbral prairie
#

Morsi they usually don't do anything with sandbox dinos, they're not a priority

coarse shell
#

@weak herald nanotyrannus was found out to be a juvenile tyrannosaurus. not a legitimate species

umbral prairie
#

also I don't think dino suggestions would do anything, I think if they want to add more dinos they will, if not they won't

coarse shell
#

sometimes dino suggestions are good

#

like ones by kingjaffad

viral creek
#

We already have a nanotyrannus

It's called a juvi rex

coarse shell
#

alberto, yes

feral turret
#

@agile pumice can't you rebind it in controls?

coarse shell
agile pumice
#

aaaaahh

#

damn thx guys

#

u saved my existence

coarse shell
#

you can find it at the very bottom

agile pumice
#

also im stupid xD

coarse shell
#

@royal pewter wym "follow"? like automatically walk and follow them without needing to move yourself?

royal pewter
#

@coarse shell correct

coarse shell
#

what would be the point in that

royal pewter
#

could be used for example, if you have a mixed herbi pack that you couldn’t “group” with, and you’re walking around during the night. You could use the follow feature to not lose each other etc

coarse shell
#

i mean, that isn't exactly necessary

#

you just have to stay alert if anything

royal pewter
#

no it’s not necessary obviously. Would just be a cool feature ya know. Just spitting thoughts out

coarse shell
#

yeah i do that too but

royal pewter
#

think about it. You’re playing with your friends. And you gotta go take a piss real quick, but don’t want to log. You can follow your pack while your pissing and still be on the move

coarse shell
#

lmfao

royal pewter
#

XD

coarse shell
#

well in hindsight it's not a bad idea

#

you'd gotta trust your friends for that just in case they lead you to drown lol

royal pewter
#

Yeah I also like that it’s taking a risk in using it

#

You have to almost 100% depend on your pack

coarse thicket
#

There should be an autowalk as well for when you are typing or just don’t want to hold down the walk button.

umbral prairie
#

I think there needs to be a solution for the mass apex population other than fast hunger drain, it's very annoying if you're constantly walking around trying to find food. Currently, this would not be the case as all the AI spawns very close to hungry dinosaurs, but it would still be very annoying to not be able to sit around for some time. There are way too many apexes currently, but I think there needs to be something else than just fast hunger drain

jolly willow
#

It's either hunger drain or a lameass player limit

#

You COULD knock down the apex pack limit to 2

#

And you'd see less

#

The reason for so many damn apexes is cause the 5 packs are always bloody nesting

#

Always splitting, multiplying

umbral prairie
#

apex life is easy and boring currently

jolly willow
#

No duh

umbral prairie
#

some people like being the most powerful thing doing nothing but I thing it's not really fun

weak herald
#

Question for anyone who can answer: Does bleeding stop when any dino spams the alt turn ?

umbral prairie
#

no

jolly willow
#

Nope

coarse shell
#

no? where'd you hear that

umbral prairie
#

I mean you always have some bleed heal

#

so over time yes

coarse shell
#

bleeding stops when you sit down for a while if you're in critical condition

umbral prairie
#

but not more than the bleed heal you have when walking

weak herald
#

Do a carnivore get a bleeding healing boost while crouched?

umbral prairie
#

no

weak herald
#

oh, ok

umbral prairie
#

I think you only get a healing boost when sitting

weak herald
#

Just learning the mechanics, I've seen some stuff which I didnt understand ^^

umbral prairie
#

and you can't die to bleed when sitting

weak herald
#

thank you very much for the answers and commitment! ❤

#

Yes, that part I read in the patch notes, thank you very much 😃

true haven
#

i think crank up the apex adult stage is not the way to fix it maybe

#

like

#

crank the last moment he growth , if trex already had 940 biteforce it can go higher but with the super slow grow time and tick

coarse shell
#

@acoustic basin im literally playing it right now

#

it's a viable dino, thenyaw is the only map its good on though

acoustic basin
#

Lower bleed damage means you need to go in more often which means more time putting yourself in danger with 1060 hp. How is that good?

coarse shell
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

you dont have to be hunting something the whole time

#

i usually lurk around at night as a dilo

acoustic basin
#

the run speed is average so it gets outrun. Your only defence is hoping the enemy to stop chasing you since they are bleeding

#

with less bleed, they will chase longer

#

So even at escaping its worse now

cyan flame
#

It's easier to finish things off now with more damage?

coarse shell
#

they arent getting rid of dilo lel

true haven
#

the night has already been darker or not ??

coarse shell
#

no, v3 nights are still light

true haven
#

i feel thenyaw is very dark

coarse shell
#

yes, they are

#

v3 nights arent though

native nebula
#

they use the same settings 😐

true haven
#

damn how XD

coarse shell
#

is it a bug or something with v3 nights then?

#

@finite perch happening soon

#

oro and taco ai were never meant to give the amount of food they do rn

glossy garden
#

@brisk mesa you must have smoked something wrong man, you really think people will wanna try for 12 h to get adult? If it were 12h to get hypo yes but not for normal adult

brisk mesa
#

People used to go 21hrs to get Trexes.

#

23 for Spinos.

#

You get adult Apex in 6hrs in my suggestion.

#

Same as current.

coarse shell
#

you underestimate the community

brisk mesa
#

Difference is, of course, you spend a long time growing to FULL adult

coarse shell
#

im one of those people who grows a rex in one session so i mean

#

no problem here

brisk mesa
#

A fresh adult Trex is like seeing an adult Nile crocodile

#

Nothing big

#

But seeing a big 20ft long fucko

#

That would be like seeing a 1.0 adult

#

Nowhere near the norm, but still doable.

#

A full 1.0 Adult Apex would be an achievment

finite perch
#

oh! yeah ik its never intentional that dryo and taco give so much, but with ava more or less settled in it might be a good time

brisk mesa
#

Packs would struggle to reach that level of power, and people would not be suicidal with their dinos either.

#

You wouldnt want to suicide your fully grown apex

#

Do stupid griefy shit.

#

If it took a long time to obtain

glossy garden
#

Idk , but it's just my opinion, I would go 12 h only to get hypoendocryn

finite perch
#

also nobodys forcing you at gunpoint to play a dino for 12 straight hours, split it up. go eat a sandwich, take a nap, live your life

brisk mesa
#

^^^^

cyan flame
#

Right, you'd actually care about remaining alive, sounds good to me :p

brisk mesa
#

Yeah

glossy garden
#

What if you die at 6h in?

brisk mesa
#

So you die as fresh adult?

#

That would be same as dying 5hts in

#

atm

honest lava
#

The biggest problem with apex's right now is that they are way too easy to grow. I agree with Watt in making them take 9-12 hours to grow.

brisk mesa
#

You spend like, an hour growing the adult phase atm

true haven
#

if u make it longer

brisk mesa
#

Fresh adult apexes are still forces to be reckoned with

true haven
#

u need make them hungrier

#

to make them not afk

cyan flame
#

I'm all for trying it Watt, I trust you do know how to balance shit, even if I may doubt some things :p And hey, I played on progression on a server where it took 2500 points as acro before becoming a giga.. so.. :p

glossy garden
#

Is way too easy because of hunger buff

true haven
#

no i mean

glossy garden
#

And new ai

true haven
#

hunger buff is to fix the ecos

#

no apex will overkill

#

but as sub and juvie

honest lava
#

It was easy before the hunger buff.

true haven
#

u need make it hungrier

#

when sub and juvie

#

make it eat as much as it can hold

glossy garden
#

Make it 24 hours then dondiTroll

true haven
#

or it will die

#

no

#

dont make it longer

#

just make sub and juvie hungry

#

so they need to roam commonlu

paper trout
#

make day and night match actual day and night

pseudo falcon
#

Day is bright, night is dark. What's the miscommunication here?

pseudo falcon
#

@barren zephyr

#

You can see how much bleed you have

barren zephyr
#

really?

pseudo falcon
#

You just hover over the blood icon in the character menu

#

It shows you the exact numeric value of bleed you have

barren zephyr
#

no how much bleed u do per bite

hazy sparrow
#

for the biter

pseudo falcon
#

Ooooooohhhh

#

Lol

barren zephyr
#

yes like every 3 seconds

pseudo falcon
#

In that case I agree lol

barren zephyr
#

dilo did i dont kno 4,2 every 3 secs?

hazy sparrow
#

I think it depends on what you're biting though, so it would be difficult to impliment that. I know utah only does .25/sec to a rex per bite, but they do way more to smaller dinos

barren zephyr
#

so if u have a full cera now would be nice if u could see oh okay i do this amount of bleed per bite

pseudo falcon
#

Agreed

buoyant sandal
#

Or see current hp

hazy sparrow
knotty spindle
#

oh, well that makes sense

#

hopefully the other suggestions would work out :P

#

I feel like they would make the burrow mechanic more interesting and fun for both predator and prey

hazy sparrow
#

I like the idea of a burrow-tunnel system, and the weather effects too.

#

I'd guess only really FAT dinos could break a burrow from above ground too... if the ground actually sunk when that happened 😮

hollow marlin
#

@knotty spindle One of the best ideas I saw today. I hope you take it into account

knotty spindle
#

I think dinos that are too large to enter the burrow can destroy it, smaller ones would be able to go inside and hunt what's inside

#

also @hollow marlin thanks!

silver dagger
#

Also currently a burrow disappears if the owner of the burrow dies right? I'd have to assume that will change when predators can enter burrows.

knotty spindle
#

yeah, that's what i am hoping.

#

that it would work more like nests do now, where they stay after you log but can still be destroyed

#

and maybe other players can even take over your burrow while your away

silver dagger
#

Little parasitic carnivores in their stolen burrows. I love it.

knotty spindle
#

i don't know what should happen if it is destroyed while you have logged out inside of it though.

silver dagger
#

They should just make it where you can't log out inside of burrows.

knotty spindle
#

hmm

silver dagger
#

Not sure what it would do if you crash.

hazy sparrow
#

Currently you just respawn above ground if you logout in a burrow. (some people reported dying though too)

knotty spindle
#

I think if you're wreckless enough to build a burrow out in the open and log out inside of it, there should be some kind of consequence if it's destroyed after you logged out inside of it

#

maybe spawn with a broken leg?

#

outside of the burrow

#

i dunno

silver dagger
#

Or you get teleported out before your dinosaur disappears, in the case of a crash or non safe log. And just have you not able to safe log from within.

hazy sparrow
#

@true haven the other dino makes noise when you bite them, is that not enough?

true haven
#

@hazy sparrow well we do make noise so its not clear

knotty spindle
#

Yeah, i'm sure there will be some way to combat that issue @silver dagger

#

I kind of hope the devs consider it, even if they change it up a bit. Would be cool and interesting

silver dagger
#

I really hope individual burrows can be connected with tunnels, but that's getting pretty involved with it.

knotty spindle
#

Yeah, that might be a little more complicated technically

#

my idea was to have 3 different types of burrows (maybe with varients of each, 1 is the smallest one, 2nd is the medium and 3rd the large

#

basically upgrading the size from the outside of the burrow

#

but requiring everyone to be outside of it so the interior model can updated

silver dagger
#

That would probably work. Much simpler than connecting ones that already exist from inside like would happen in reality.

knotty spindle
#

yeah, problem would be there would only be one entrance

#

maybe the upgrades add a few more entrances if there's enough room

#

and has small icons for all of them that dissapear when you get close enough to them

silver dagger
#

I think having more than one entrance/exit would be best for the big burrows. I can just imagine Scooby Doo hallway shenanigans.

knotty spindle
#

yeah

#

with multiple tunnels in it so that it's basically a game of cat and mouse if a herra or something enters a dryo burrow

#

that'd be really really cool in my opinion

silver dagger
#

Much more fun.

knotty spindle
#

and the idea i have is, a carnivore can start digging at any of the entrances to the burrow, which starts damaging it. possibly might have to destroy all entrances before the whole burrow gets destroyed. if one entrance is destroyed, the hole to the outside will be blocked with rubble. When the whole burrow collapses, all the entrances will be changed to a collapsed version of the model, and it'll allow for carnivores to activate it again to dig for corpses

#

whether you waste your time or not is based whether there is still anything inside the burrow lol

#

but if you have a pack you could probably coordinate an attack on it

#

oooh and maybe

silver dagger
#

Yeah I could see smaller carnivores just posting outside of each entrance with a big enough pack.

knotty spindle
#

if there's been something dead inside the burrow for a while, the entrance to the burrow will give off a scent

#

to maybe help any desperate carnis to find some food

#

The weather thing would pretty much act the same way, damaging the burrow the more it rains, you can attempt to repair the burrow a bit but only if nothing is attacking it and it's not raining, and would take some time. But if it rains too much, the burrow will start filling with water until it gets to a point where the burrow starts to collapse

silver dagger
#

Probably would need to make destroying and building a new burrow much more time intensive for the herbivore so that it will be more invested in the current burrow and even want to repair it.

knotty spindle
#

carnis could take advantage if they see an occupied burrow in the rain maybe, or risk trying to eat the inhabitants and possibly die inside if it's about to collapse

silver dagger
#

As opposed to now where you can just click and destroy your own burrow.

knotty spindle
#

yeah

#

i think it should be more of an investment

#

and you could destroy your burrow but takes half the time it took to build it maybe

silver dagger
#

Something so that moving burrows in an ordeal lol

knotty spindle
#

yep

#

cause right now it's just

#

press a button and it's gone

#

I really love the burrowing system so far and hope my suggestions are somewhat considered, if not maybe whatever the devs feel would be better for it

hazy sparrow
#

multiple exits on the large burrows is good! that would more or less remove the need for tunnels -- as theyre mostly escape holes, if one is being guarded, like groundhogs do it

knotty spindle
#

Maybe the small burrow can have only one entrance, the medium burrow can have two, and the large one can have 3

barren zephyr
#

What if there were a large burrow that needed a mating pair of dryos to construct

knotty spindle
#

so if you want a somewhat temporary burrow with some sense of security you could invest in making a medium burrow so you at least have two escapes, if hidden well, if a predator finds one entrance you could escape out the other

barren zephyr
#

for the sole reason of nesting the kids outside, letting them eat outside, and when they aren't eating, go immediately back into the burrow

#

with a lot of exit burrows as well

#

I dunno, i'm kinda spitballing here

knotty spindle
#

maybe could be varients of each size

#

for specific needs

#

but idk

torpid wedge
#

they can’t grow in the burrow

#

ever.

#

the burrowing mechanic is not a sit and grow place

#

hatchlings will only grow outside of the burrow

#

so kids will not “immediately go back into the burrow”

coarse shell
#

@cerulean spade the f call noise is pretty essential to gameplay my dude

#

if you dont like it, use voice chat

#

thats what most people do

cerulean spade
#

I do, its hard to explain im sure i didnt explain it right. before you could hear the F calls normally just from any direction. but at some point an update happened where say I F call somewhere not close behind you and you turned around you would suddenly hear me or if I move off. The noise plays after the fact and I find it broken in that sense @coarse shell but thats just my opinion on it

coarse shell
#

thats not an update

#

thats a bug

#

everyone has to deal with that

#

its pretty annoying but its essential to hunting shit so

#

and looking out for stuff

#

thats why you look in every possible direction when moving around

cerulean spade
#

eh then the bug needs fixing its just cheap hearing something that made a noise outside of your field of hearing only to be given away because someone turned and moved within hearing distance of the F call

true haven
#

@cerulean spade no f call noise make the world even more quiet and make the world lifeless even u cant stalk ur prey if they do not making noise

silver dagger
#

@open flax some of what you suggested is a mixed bag. Like being able to nest in AI will be cool once there's more complex behaviors for it. Other things aren't needed and are a lot more simulator sounding than survival. I especially don't think there should be carcass spawns, it's already too easy to keep carnivores fed with the AI creatures that we currently have but at least they need to be hunted.

cerulean spade
#

@true haven They do make noise actually quite a lot im in a pachy herd right now that wont shut up. ppl dont like quite they will make noise for the sake of it, having a bug like that isnt needed and makes it easy.

true haven
#

@cerulean spade well if u play on 150 server most of the time i play when there is 80 people and no one making noise

#

and plus it doesnt make sense if they dont make noise when talking to the group , and discord obviously make it quiet already 😦

cerulean spade
#

@true haven thats not what im saying, the pachy herd was on official 3 btw, what im talking about is that its a delayed reaction. Ppl close or looking at the person hear the f call in time with others messages but if ppl suddenly stop talking and others get with in rage looking at the group an F call plays. I do not see any reason why that bug or if its intended should stay. I personally use discord but not everyone uses it and or some just might not be in your discord.

Dilo shouldn't be able to compete with utah, the adult utah has more muscle, more speed... it's just a better dino 😃

You did not just say that

#

Utah is supposed to be weakest carnivore

#

Velo has that role.

Survival dinos

#

This Utah isn’t a Utah

#

It’s just a creature we’ve labeled Utah

spiral pond
#

I know

#

But whatever this thing is it supposed to be weaker

#

And it doesn’t make sense for something that grows longer to no compete with something smaller and faster to grow

plain vector
#

i have a suggestion guys and please tell me what u think about it here goes: i think devs should add an attack for dinos to knock down other dinos what happens is when u do that special attack there is a chance for u to knock down a dino much like bone break where it will force the other dino to undergo an animation for getting up which will make them unable to attack of course this attack can be balanced by making the recovering animation varying between each dino bipedal dinos take more time and quad dinos take much less time and when the attacking dino is running the chance of knockdown is 5x higher and ofc knockdown has a cooldown so it cant be abused . srry for the long post plz give me ur opinion. 😅

spiral pond
#

🤔

#

Copy it into suggestions, here is suggestion discussion

plain vector
#

i know but i would like ur opinions

spiral pond
#

I think something like this might happen

#

But then you could have 3 attack for something which could be a bit confusing

plain vector
#

as i said it can be done like bone break effect

#

which mean instead of bone break for trike head bash its knockdown

#

it can be added for many dinos such as giga-carno-allo-trike-rex-diablo

#

ill copy it to suggestion tho thnx

#

i think this suggestion could bring more life to the game and add a more balanced fight system

spiral pond
#

Wait how could dibble wiggle it’s tail strong enough ?

#

It could maybe knock Utahs at best

plain vector
#

not tail by head bash

#

i mean knock them down by any number of ways could be head bash like most dinos of horn attack or tail whip by ankys

spiral pond
#

Oh like this

#

This will probably be added with locational damage

plain vector
#

hope so

#

it will give the attacker time to run or kill the knocked dino ofc it will be countered by bone break cause chance is much higher while running

true haven
#

i dont even know what im talking there

#

tag me when someone response

wheat hemlock
#

@woven marsh 2000 damage LUL

woven marsh
#

bone break + 1200 > 2000 damage so its not LUL... what is LUL is current bone break mechanic which is super OP

wheat hemlock
#

I dont think that's exactly true, and if it was, he would be back to 3-shotting everything again like Gigas and Spinos, and you cant say "Lets buff Gigas and Spinos to adapt" but then those apex will be too far apart from the smaller guys like Allos and Suchos

woven marsh
#

3 shot is better than 1 shot (bone break -> other apex cant do anything)... the giga 3 shoting everything was a problem due to gigas high stam. Rex 3 shoting stuff is not a problem since it has low stam.

wheat hemlock
#

In a way you got a point, but 2000 is too much, Bonebreak should be locational, there's lots of mechanics that need to be implemented before Bonebreak would make sense. only biting a small hitbox on the Hip should bone break, not tail or head etc... 1400 sounds better, he's still the bite damage king then, and gigas can actually win if they ambush him.

woven marsh
#

well locational damage is hard to implement. What they could do is make bone break only occur if the target is facing away from the rex and then also increase damage to 1400 to compensate for the nerf to bone break.

wheat hemlock
#

What about only if the Dinosaur is 50% health or less does the bonebreak activates?

woven marsh
#

yes that is also better than current bone break

wheat hemlock
#

Yea, that would make it so the longer you fight a Rex, the more dangerous it gets.

#

Combat as a whole needs to be changed, i cant wait to see how they fix it

true haven
#

@barren peak it is not it just had great health

wheat hemlock
#

Does Camara have low bleed resist? it should, to Rexes would stay away, but Allos and Gigas would be the more viable predators for it

#

Since that's what they apparentally hunted, (atleast gigas)

woven marsh
#

The other possibility is to let rex be super OP but make it harder to satisfy hunger. And rexs will be rare since most die from starvation.

true haven
#

no

#

it will not

#

fix

#

they will be monster once again

#

better their juvie or sub form to get hunger nerf

#

so rare to make into adult

umbral prairie
#

there needs to be something else than constant panicking because of low food, with the current AI it wouldn't be harder it would just be annoying

true haven
#

yeah maybe something else

#

not food

#

food is ok

#

i have no idea to do

#

just dont nerf it otherwise it will be killing machine again

umbral prairie
#

I just think the gameplay needs to be different, rn you can afk most of the time, with low hunger you'd need to run constantly. I think it should be possible to chill a bit but you need to wander around

#

maybe make AI not spawn as close? although that would be annoying aswell

true haven
#

owh maybe there affinity will force us to wander or it will lower our stam or stats

#

or

#

we grow faster when we move

umbral prairie
#

I've made a suggestion about hadrosaur AI herds that would affect adult apex gameplay, but something needs to change with juvie/sub gameplay

woven marsh
#

Ye i agree hunting AI constantly is annoying. Thats why my solution to apex hunger is to make it so that AI dont spawn around apexs. Apex can have longer hunger times but they need to hunt other players or steal AI from others to survive. This will also limit apex pack sizes naturally.

true haven
#

if adult apex died from starvation it will not fix the problems because we cant smell body

umbral prairie
#

I think we need a not so annoying way to make players not camp at water al the time. you can't go to a lake to drink without an apex pack charging at you. also there are almost no herbis to hunt, you can't really hunt players because everyone is in an apex pack

true haven
#

make water hole

#

unsmeel able like it used to be

mental sleet
#

hah, no.

umbral prairie
#

nah that would just make it annnoying

#

imagine dying of thirst, would be so frustrating

true haven
#

why rather die as starving since the new river is out there is no way we die of thirst

violet magnet
#

we don't die of thirst as much anymore because we can see water sources through the map dondiFrown

#

before you just had to already know where water was

Whatever happened to the #balancediscussion channel? It was good for keeping the "nerf this, buff this" clutter out of #general-feedback

@barren zephyr ... Dryos can burrow so that suggestion doesn't make sense

barren zephyr
#

well burrowing doesent fit dryos playstyle at all, dryo is fast and agile so why would it waste time digging a burrow when it could run away, taco on the other hand is more suited for a burrower playstyle cause if it gets caught outside it needs a burrow to survive big dinos

#

add the fact taco can atack now so if the creature is small enought taco might be able to fend it off

#

Dryo would better be off with the adrenaline rush ability that was talked about since it suits its play, of getting away from preds fast enought to break line of sight

umbral prairie
#

taco gameplay would just be extremely stupid, you're slower than everything else and the only thing you would do is sit in a burrow and do nothing because you can't fight, run or see anything of the map because you're so small

glad bear
#

taco gameplay is being a juvie

#

which no one enjoys

#

now it could be rebalanced given some speed and maybe even upsized but dryo already has the burrow gimmick

hollow sorrel
#

I lowkey would love Taco in survival, but I'm sure I'd be just about the only one playing it.

#

I'll even agree that overall, outside trolling the fuck out of people, Taco gameplay would be boring for most.

umbral prairie
#

how do you troll with taco

hollow sorrel
#

Using 2 and 4 call to make other players think a hungry carnivore is nearby.

#

Could do the same with an Ava or Oro, of course.

glad bear
#

dryo is already regarded as the troll dino

#

which it does better at than taco

umbral prairie
#

I think most players would just run up to you and eat you because there are as good as no herbis around, and then you'd either die or afk in a burrow

barren zephyr
#

ur all thinking of taco with progg stats

hollow sorrel
#

Ah, but Dryo trolls in a very different way.

barren zephyr
#

thats like comparing prog cerato to new cerato

hollow sorrel
#

Probably better at trolling overall still, but whatever

umbral prairie
#

the only thing that would make taco better would be making it bigger and faster and then it would be a dryo

hollow sorrel
#

There's other way of course, but a lot would need to be done to make it engaging.

barren zephyr
#

taco being the only burrower and stas change would be enought

#

heck it can kill a velociraptor if it gets in its burrow

#

its burrow might have mutiple entrances and exits

umbral prairie
#

don't nerf utah growth because they already are overconfident because they grow so quickly and making it shorter would make it the absolute nightmare of mid tiers because they would suicide into them until the mid tier is dead

#

There are packs of 10-20 utahs and they're very annoying because they don't care if they die or not

barren zephyr
#

also if u get caught by a pred as a taco its youre fault, since you can hive well a should be in range of youre burrow

hollow sorrel
#

I think Taco could become really fun to play as if burrowing gets some overhauls that make it even better

umbral prairie
#

which would be the most boring thing ever because you would just sit around and do nothing

nocturne blaze
#

utahs dont need a growth time decrease, it's already easy as SHIT to grow one

umbral prairie
#

and if burrows are finished I think smaller dinos can enter it and eat you and then the burrowing feature for taco would be useless

barren zephyr
#

u can fight back as a taco

nocturne blaze
#

as a juvie you're invisible and as an adult you can just sit on a rock

umbral prairie
#

the biggest threat to utahs are velo AI

#

when they are juvie

barren zephyr
#

if someone gets on the burrow fight back as taco or use a one of 3 exuist to escape

umbral prairie
#

but you're slow af

#

how are you going to flee

barren zephyr
#

with current stats

hollow sorrel
#

Chances are there's another burrow nearby.

umbral prairie
#

and if you're made faster you would have to be bigger because animations and then you'd be a worse dryo

hollow sorrel
#

Would become a whack-a-mole type of thing, which sounds pretty hilarious.

barren zephyr
#

besides it would allow cooperation with a dryo since it cant burrow, but can help you defend it

#

like a lobster and a fish

umbral prairie
#

but why would you make dryo lose it's burrow mechanic just to make a smaller and slower creature be the only one with the mechanic

hollow sorrel
#

Because being smaller and slower means that mechanic is more important to your survival.

#

A larger and faster dino can run away.

umbral prairie
#

so your survival is more afk sitting

#

and not even real gameplay

barren zephyr
#

cause it wasant dryos mechanic to be begin with, it started as a taco ability, dryo had the ability of a adrenaline rush

hollow sorrel
#

Much like growing an Apex, I suppose.

barren zephyr
#

also foraging as a taco would be dangerous as it is

#

but necessary

hollow sorrel
#

Tbh a Taco would probably move around more than a person growing an apex lmao

barren zephyr
#

not only that it would be one less ai to feed juv apexes

#

but thats not the point

#

taco would out itself at risk everytime it were to leave its burow, making it a risk taking dino

#

cause other wise it would starve or dehydrate

#

add the fact growth cycle would be so short that u would be an adult quickly

#

taco makes more use of burrowing then dryo in all intended purposes

violet magnet
#

"taco can fight back"
taco could kill dryo and utah juvies and literally nothing any bigger

hollow sorrel
#

Yeah I imagine Taco to grow to adult in maybe 15 minutes.

#

Utah juvies (and velos) would be the main predators of Taco, so that's fine.

violet magnet
#

what would taco gameplay be like anyway? Just sitting in a burrow most of the time, and when you go out to eat unable to see over the bushes?

barren zephyr
#

you can use scent also sitting around for too long would be dangerous since youre burrows need to be close to water food sources, iow you would be constantly moving making and destroying burrows

umbral prairie
#

and the moving would either be slow and boring or you would be made faster to be a worse dryo

barren zephyr
#

yeah becausse apex sitting around while growing isint boring

umbral prairie
#

did I say that

#

no

wintry cipher
#

im sure modders can easilly make any non-playable dino playable once the game gets further along, but taco fulfills no role in the game itself once goals and storyline get implemented other than as the "level 1" food most likely.

violet magnet
#

apexes are big and powerful and capable of traversing the map

umbral prairie
#

but at least they can fight something

violet magnet
#

taco is small and weak and it takes FOREVER to travel anywhere

barren zephyr
#

then u gotta think how youre gonna travel

violet magnet
#

you can't see over foliage

#

because it's too small and too close to the ground

wintry cipher
#

you sniff and pray you can smell food next to the same water source youll live your whole life around

violet magnet
#

you can't run away and hide because everything is faster than you, and digging a burrow takes too long right now for you to dig a burrow and jump in before the utah ten meters away spots you

barren zephyr
#

thats if it does not get a faster digging animation, every dino has its own downsides, tacos would be reliant on nearby food sources and the need to travel by night

umbral prairie
#

but what upsides would it have besides an afk hole in the ground which it doesn't need because it's so small nobody sees it anyway

barren zephyr
#

the upside would be a dino that does not need to worry about large creatures by having a way of escaping them, and the extremely short growth cycle

umbral prairie
#

the growth cycle wouldn't matter because the result is stupid, and yes you don't have to worry about predators as long as you don't move because you're so small, if you move you will get seen and eaten even by big carnivores

barren zephyr
#

if it doesent get seen good, if it does then down the hole, you would be a ghost rarely seen but mostly herd

umbral prairie
#

and you can do the exact same as dryo but it can also run away as an alternative because it isn't the slowest creature in the game

wintry cipher
#

dryo

#

mhm

barren zephyr
#

thats what sets them apart

umbral prairie
#

but why would you want to play something that is worse in every category besides size

barren zephyr
#

like pachy is a better dryo by the way youre saing

wintry cipher
#

if you want something similar to taco gameplay just stick with juvie dryo. same size, but still better

#

and it isnt

#

a dryo can escape carnos, utahs and the like easilly. a pachy cant.

glad bear
#

pachy is nothing close to a dryo

#

it's a fighter herb

#

dryo's sole defense is burrowing

#

and running

hollow sorrel
#

Need to keep in mind that it is incredibly easy to hide as a Taco

wintry cipher
#

its also hard to see predators coming as a taco

barren zephyr
#

a taco can escape carnos and utahs too by going into its burrow

hollow sorrel
#

If you play right, getting spotted shouldn't be happening often

glad bear
#

taco is a juvie dryo

#

but slower

#

and no one truly wants to play a juvie

barren zephyr
#

taco playstyle would be one of stealth

hollow sorrel
#

Seeing predators isn't a problem if they can't see you.

glad bear
#

taco playstyle is a copy of dryo's playstyle

#

but more reliant on hiding and burrowing

hollow sorrel
#

In others words it isn't a copy but rather very different

umbral prairie
#

I still don't get why you would play it, it can't do anything, it doesn't matter if carnis aren't a problem because you would not have any gameplay at all

glad bear
#

85% of your life would be being paranoid something is gonna see and catch you

#

impale that is pretty much a copy

#

if it does the same things the same way

hollow sorrel
#

Yeah, I know what you mean Sammel. Not many would play it. More or less it would be used as a chill dino rather than for actually playing, much like Sucho is right now.

glad bear
#

but relies on those said things more then they're incredibly similar

hollow sorrel
#

I mean basically every dino in the game is a copy in some way by that logic.

glad bear
#

see sucho can be more than just the chill dino tho

hollow sorrel
#

That was just an example.

glad bear
#

not entirely true

umbral prairie
#

if you want to play taco, play juvie dryo, don't grow and there you have a taco but it can run faster so you don't die if you're further away from your burrow because you can actually move

glad bear
#

we're talking about the playstyles of the dinos

barren zephyr
#

but then wheres the risk envolved

glad bear
#

currently playstyles are actually quite different

barren zephyr
#

youre risking ur life everytime u leave that burrow

#

wich u must

glad bear
#

the risk is the same as the tacos

hollow sorrel
#

Yeah, and Taco would have a different playstyle from Dryo

violet magnet
#

you're risking your dino's life whenever you log in dondiLUL

glad bear
#

but you actually have a chance to survive

barren zephyr
#

if anything a taco player would be more nocturnal

glad bear
#

impale explain how

umbral prairie
#

it would be the exact same playstyle except with less options

glad bear
#

cause i don't see it

hollow sorrel
#

Taco is reliant on stealth and actually needs to burrow. Dryo is basically a smaller Galli in that it's main defense is running.

glad bear
#

dryo is also reliant on stealth tho

umbral prairie
#

it doesn't need to burrow

glad bear
#

and it also needs to burrow

umbral prairie
#

sit down and nothing sees you

#

dig a burrow and everything can see the burrow entrance and camp for a while

glad bear
#

dryo is widely regarded as the stealth dino cause of the size

#

and how well it can blend in with it's surrondings

violet magnet
#

taco is slow so it couldn't really travel much, its hunger drains really fast so you'd have to find a place with a good amount of food near water and set up there

glad bear
#

so how is taco different from that

violet magnet
#

taco could not keep up with a herd, so it would probably be mostly solitary or in a group with other tacos

glad bear
#

other than being slower and at risk of dying from just everything

violet magnet
#

and it's oneshotted by most everything, so most of its life would be spent hiding, in a burrow or under a bush

umbral prairie
#

and they also couldn't communicate in game because then other things would hear it

glad bear
#

which isn't enjoyable at all

umbral prairie
#

and that would not make them use their burrows because the burrow entrances are more visible than they are, and if they use it they would just afk inside until they need food/water they get out again and run very slowly

barren zephyr
#

ur thinking of the current burrows, but imagine them with several entrances, u could fake out a carnivore

#

in the future

glad bear
#

what makes you believe the devs would flush out burrowing like that

#

and that they could do that without any problems

spiral pond
#

cause its first advanced mechanic

glad bear
#

?

spiral pond
#

and it adds a lot of flavour

#

for dryos

glad bear
#

that doesn't mean much

umbral prairie
#

even if burrows are going to be like that taco would just not be viable, but I guess if you would enjoy doing nothing and also not being able to do anything (which would seperate them from current apex gameplay) then I can't change that, so I'm not discussing this further

glad bear
#

just cause it's advanced doesn't mean they could do it with no problems

barren zephyr
#

taco would provide an indirect aid to the other dinos, being either a herb or carni juv, if they come around a abandoned taco burrow, then they would have a safe place for atleast until they grow big enougth

#

all im asking is giving taco a chance to shine

violet magnet
#

burrows collapse when the dino who made them dies or logs out, and if you're inside when it collapses you die, too

barren zephyr
#

even if its as a slow nocturnal racoon liazrd mole

violet magnet
#

idk if sitting in another dino's burrow would be a good idea

barren zephyr
#

thats a risk anything that enters it must take

#

it might be empty or not

#

il defend my taco even if i must do it alone

hollow sorrel
#

I definitely don't think Taco should be a priority, but I also think every dino should be in survival eventually. Not many would play Taco, but there isn't anything to lose from including it.

#

Minus Shant. Even Dondi has said he doesn't want that thing in survival.

barren zephyr
#

im not saying ita s priority, but it should have its chance as playable

hollow sorrel
#

I agree

#

I myself actually enjoy Taco so I'm not opposed at all

umbral prairie
#

I don't think everything should be in survival, I think only the ones with a unique niche will be in survival, and I just think taco is too similar to a dryo minus some of dryos benefits

hollow sorrel
#

Sure, but everything that is in the game at the moment can be given a unique niche

#

Besides, Dibble is already in survival and I imagine Kentro will be as well at some point when it's added to the game. Having a completely unique niche doesn't seem to actually be that important.

umbral prairie
#

except I imagine kentro being something completely different than a dibble

barren zephyr
#

i mean as diferent as stego will be to trike

hollow sorrel
#

Kentro is being compared to Stego, obviously

#

And Dibble to Trike.

coarse skiff
#

It already works this way @barren zephyr

barren zephyr
#

It doesnt appear to by any manor

#

I nest in dinos all the time, almost every time i get on, and your child NEVER looks simular to you.

coarse skiff
#

I verified it through many nests with different dinos

#

I once had a child exactly similar to my skin

barren zephyr
#

I just dont belive that, if you have ever nested in or been nested in by utahs or dilos you could easily see that. Dilos tend to always look the same. For example. I had a child dino. Was full black. Child was born. Red underbelly green side near underbelly tan skin. 2nd child lookes identical to that but with grey skin

coarse skiff
#

I think you have a chance to get the color of your mother
