#

But just hiding and having logout ready, that's a bit iffy

viral creek
#

It happens a lot

#

It's a pain in the butt for the lower teirs. Majority of the big boys we hunt just log

cyan flame
#

Like I said

#

Personal issue you could easily avoid

viral creek
#

Explain.

vestal jungle
#

Yeah, I’ve had the problem with trikes and rexes; can’t exactly chase down a Rex in time for it to log if it gets too far ahead of you if you’re the only species going after him (aka don’t have faster herbies to threaten him/keep him up on his feet), or if he bone breaks you then logs

umbral prairie
#

maybe hiding with logout ready could be solved by resetting the logout timer every 70 seconds? So you'd have 10 seconds to click log out before the timer restarts at 60 seconds

cyan flame
#

Tell me, does this issue happen with everything you hunt?

vestal jungle
#

And just because it’s a “personal problem” doesn’t mean it isn’t a relevant point. The current system enables that “personal problem”, so it’s valid to look at the systems that enable that

cyan flame
#

I don't consider it a relevant point when it's not an issue :p

vestal jungle
#

Yeah, to you, but people have expressed it as an issue before

viral creek
#

No, not it all.

vestal jungle
#

Just because you have an opinion on if it’s an issue or not doesn’t make it universal fact or a universal similar experience

viral creek
#

It happens to almost every large game

#

Mostly rexes

cyan flame
#

Well, people make it into an issue

viral creek
#

Rexes are such wusses sometimes

cyan flame
#

And because it's something you in a sense cause yourself, I can't see it as an issue no :p

vestal jungle
#

Congratulations on your subjective opinion

#

You can say “people make it into an issue” for any topic or critique on a game ever

cyan flame
#

It's not opinion

#

You're not getting it

umbral prairie
#

what is the issue you're talking about right now

vestal jungle
#

I am, you’re just dismissing stuff because it’s not a problem for you, lol. It’s okay, you’re allowed to have your opinion, but was just saying that’s all it is

cyan flame
#

It's really simple, do not hunt things that you can't handle, go for the things that are appropriate, and you'll never have an issue with someone logging on you.

viral creek
#

You see

cyan flame
#

I shouldn't have to explain that

#

If you choose to act in a manner that is not neccesary, and that you're doing, knowing it is not the smart choice, you caused your own problems

viral creek
#

If he didn't log, we could've had dinner. The moment they realize they're losing. They log

cyan flame
#

If you didn't hunt him, you could have hunted something you'd kill and gotten your dinner :p

vestal jungle
#

That’s the point though, is that they would have killed him

cyan flame
#

You're asking for a solution to an issue you're causing by your own choices, I can not ,and will not, agree that that is a game issue

viral creek
#

Would've been food for ages too

vestal jungle
#

Alright, @viral creek , let’s just stop feeding the troll and move on

cyan flame
#

There is nothing stopping your survival otherwise :p

viral creek
#

No need to tag for that

cyan flame
#

Oh yes, call me a troll cause I actually argue?.. that's nice

viral creek
#

I'm right here

vestal jungle
#

Sorry, gulp, habit. But Erik, you’re just saying “I don’t think it’s a problem so it’s not a problem”. People are allowed to take issues with systems that enable those problems lol

#

Just because you don’t agree it’s a problem doesn’t mean it isn’t, you’re not automatically right just because you have that opinion/experience, just as we aren’t necessarily right either. I’m very glad it’s not a problem for you and that you are enlightened to the point where it’s not an issue for you

cyan flame
#

... that's not really what I'm saying though...

vestal jungle
#

Congratulations, my dude, genuinely

#

But the game systems enable that problem/“poor decision making” according to you through a lack of clarity

cyan flame
#

I don't know how you want me to put it then, maybe I phrased it badly, in which case you have a point, I could have said it better.

#

Well yes Sariya, like the game allows you to walk off a cliff?

vestal jungle
#

People are allowed to critique that and ask if there are better solutions imo

#

That’s a complete exaggeration of a comparison

lilac swallow
#

K'sariya, not trying to be rude you are a bit dense

vestal jungle
#

People have to hunt other players for food; it’s a necessary action to do to survive, or at least a very, very heavily encouraged one

cyan flame
#

Is it? I'm trying to say the game allows you to make stupid choices

#

Which is fine

#

Yes, people do not, however, have to hunt everything

vestal jungle
#

Yeah, but I don’t think that someone is stupid for not realizing someone is combat logging, and I don’t think someone is stupid for complaining that they can be biting someone and dealing damage, and they can just face tank it while logging

cyan flame
#

No one said anyone was stupid for not realizing someone is combat logging?

vestal jungle
#

Just because someone safelogs does not mean it was “too much for them to handle”

cyan flame
#

Or if they did, it certainly wasn't me

lilac swallow
#

Erik is saying that if you cant kill something that isnt defending nor running during a whole minute, why would you even try it?

cyan flame
#

All I'm really saying is, you have other options to hunt things

#

There are easier ways to do things

#

If you deliberately choose the most difficult, and apparently, in some cases, impossible choice, thats fine, but that's on you then

vestal jungle
#

“If you choose to act in a manner that is not neccesary, and that you're doing, knowing it is not the smart choice, you caused your own problems”
But that’s not usually what happens is what I’m saying; gulpy’s point was that you typically don’t realize they’re safelogging until about 15-30 seconds in

#

You didn’t say explicitly stupid but you implied it, apologies for taking that implication a bit far then

cyan flame
#

Well yes..

lilac swallow
#

Just like rex dont hunt utah because they cant cath it, utah shouldnt hunt rex because they cant kill it

viral creek
#

You're trying to say that large animals combat logging against small ones is ok, because "If you can't kill it in a minute, you shouldn't be hunting it"

Like. Players want a challenge, and it's irritating to watch somebody get away, not through actual skill. But through abusing a game mechanic. This statement is especially an issue for bleeder classes, who rely on damage over time, than biteforce.

cyan flame
#

Cause that was never what I said

#

So I apologize if I was unclear Sariya, but I never commented on if he realized the logging or not

lilac swallow
#

A chalenge is not an impossible task

vestal jungle
#

Sorry for that miscommunication said then

cyan flame
#

Yes Gulpy, players want a challenge, which is on them

umbral prairie
#

the point is not only instant damage though, if you try to bleed something out and it just logs while you do not realise it is doing so, you just lost a potential meal and wasted time, and although it might be a dino too big to deal with your raw damage alone, you could have still worn it down with bleed

vestal jungle
#

And what Gulpy said; it’s a major difficulty for smaller bleeders

cyan flame
#

Smaller bleeders = smaller prey

umbral prairie
#

not necessarily

viral creek
#

It's not game breaking, but it's extremely irritating.

cyan flame
#

Now that I do get Gulpy, I merely do not think it's the game's fault :p

lilac swallow
#

When im utah and want a chalenge i go to allo and thats only if i have a pack i dont try a rex

viral creek
#

This is more of a problem for bleeders such as dilo, who are fully capable of of killing said animal through TIME and patience, but have a hard time doing so because the player can't take a loss.

Just because it's not an issue with the game, dosen't mean it shouldn't be adressed. It should be adressed for making the game more enjoyable.

cyan flame
#

To be fair, I'd have no issue with a mechanic that prevents logging while bleeding, as long as it's before log attempt, and not after, as in, while you're logging, you can't be prevented, but if someone hits you before the logout is started, then you need to heal of the bleed first.

#

That + automatic logout, cause I do very much agree that hiding and having logout ready is stupid :p

umbral prairie
#

if you are a direct damage dino and can't kill something in a full minute of biting it, it is something you should not try to kill, but if you are something like a dilo trying to bleed a bigger dino out with a small pack, you might not be able to kill with raw damage, but with bleed, and bleed takes time. sometimes longer than a minute.

cyan flame
#

Problem is, even with bleed, there's a size to it

viral creek
#

I agree, utahs n shit aren't big boy killers, but bleeders are. The only difference is that killing as them takes time.

cyan flame
#

But maybe it's more of an issue with lack of pack limits

lilac swallow
#

Im not a Rex player so i dont know but i wouldnt take well losing a rex vs 2 one hour growing dilos

cyan flame
#

No, big bleeders might be

#

Not small bleeders

viral creek
#

Tbh

cyan flame
#

At least that's how I would see it, cause otherwise there's no point in having more than one bleeder

umbral prairie
#

preventing logging while bleeding is not a good solution as you might have won a fight against a bleeder and can now sit down, if you would have to heal off all the bleed the defeated bleeder gave you it would not be great

viral creek
#

I'd rather go down fighting that log out

cyan flame
#

Why not Sam?

#

You won, but now you're vunerable

#

As you should be? :p

viral creek
#

Combat logging is a dick move, so I refuse to do it.

umbral prairie
#

yeah, but you should be able to log while being vulnerable

cyan flame
#

Not sure on that one to be honest :p

#

Maybe I have a harsher view of it there, what do you say Gulpy? :p

umbral prairie
#

well then you would have to disable logging below x amount of health

#

if you want vulnerable people to not log

lilac swallow
#

People has lives, if you were to need to heal (for example) a 100 bleeding para you wouldnt have enought time to wait to heal the bleed before loging out

cyan flame
#

Fair, some things do take a while to heal, but that might be more of an issue with how fast you heal things

vestal jungle
#

Yeah, good point on preventing logging while bleeding. Para takes forever even when fighting smaller things, and right now I don’t think Para is well balanced for that

cyan flame
#

True, never played para much since all the changes, so I hope you can excuse a lack of current knowledge on that :p

vestal jungle
#

I do like the idea of preventing logging while bleeding but para is a good example of why that would suck

viral creek
#

I don't see why the whole hourglass idea is so farfetched, to the point of starting this suggestion.

cyan flame
#

The idea is that if you hit me while I'm unaware, you can then fight me

#

But if I heal that off, I can then try and log and you can't prevent that

vestal jungle
#

Yeah, I like the hourglass solution, but only if it’s hidden by trees/obstacles

#

Otherwise, don’t like it much

cyan flame
#

Eh, it didn't Gulpy, it was just a miscommunication and me not agreeing with the thing as an issue to begin with :p

#

I don't mind the hourglass idea, as long as the icon isn't way visible so you ruin hiding

vestal jungle
#

Because I think being able to escape and hide and log should be an intended feature, but that would fix someone combat logging in the open against people, since it would give an indicator

cyan flame
#

After all, if the idea is to see someone that you're engaged in combat with, it shouldn't require too much of an icon/visibility I don't think?

vestal jungle
#

And if they took away the resting sound on login when you log out resting, even resting to log out would work for that imo

viral creek
#

Not at all. The main purpose was to show people when you are logging. So if something is hunting sonething else, and they see that hourglass, they know it's time to go all in.

cyan flame
#

Yes please :p

#

Glad to see I'm not the only one with the issue that you rest on login, stopped resting when logout too, especially since I like to log out, at least as rex, in my preferred ambush position xD

vestal jungle
#

Yeah I found out the hard way and it sucked LOL

cyan flame
#

Not the best thing if I give away myself when log back in and make lots of noise sitting down and then getting up again ^^

vestal jungle
#

Sorry for the earlier misunderstanding, didn’t mean to get frustrated at ya’. Was my b

cyan flame
#

And yeah, saw that, sorry for your loss, thats a shitty way to die :p

#

No worries :)

vestal jungle
#

Is ok, losing trikes is a part of the long journey of getting one SDVPufferSweats

cyan flame
#

Gulpy, you could still be tricking someone though, best be careful :P

#

Huh, so I'm bound to lose my sub then :p

vestal jungle
#

Hope you don’t, best of luck haha.

#

@stark ruin I like the ideas. It’d take a bit to find the balance between herbivore food decay/volume of food in a bush/etc., but I like the idea and agree that it’d be cool to find a mechanic that forces people to move frequently. I do think that there has to be some allowance for a little staying around, because it does make sense for herbivores to stay put in secluded locations while nesting and raising hatchlings, but I think that’s a balance in the numbers things

#

I also liked the previous suggestions of things like scent clouds over areas that are largely populated/frequently-stayed, I think they also work well, perhaps in tandem with your suggestion

cyan flame
#

Hm..

#

What if ai spawned in relation to the amount of bushes for herbis in the same general area..

stark ruin
#

@vestal jungle For the nesting part, hatchlings can eat from nest so the fast depletion of bushes won't be a problem for them. Hatchling growth should be fast enough so parents won't starve.

And when hatchling reaches juvi, the juvi stats are optimized to be able to keep up with adults so a real migration herd can be formed. This is how I thought of it. xD

vestal jungle
#

Yeah, definitely, that’d be cool to balance the juvie stats like that. Maybe increasing juvie/hatchling speeds near other adults of the same species? Not sure if the game actually tracks parents specifically yet in the backend

stark ruin
#

As a someone who nests a lot as herbivore, my goal is to make a cool herd and start migrating. But waiting for my slow juvis to become adults takes so long that everyone usually leaves the game before we reach that goal.

vestal jungle
#

Yeah, same, that’s the problem I get when I try to nest trikes

#

You’re not safe to move until they’re at least very late subadult, but that takes so long that people are usually done playing once they get there

cyan flame
#

And by then you got the herd limit :p

vestal jungle
#

Yeah 😦

misty island
#

guys

#

i made a suggesstion wayyyyyyy earlier

#

Nesting features that favours herbivores more
Wouldn’t it be cool if there is a more advantage to being hatched rather than just spawning in a juv so you saving the walk and wait and extra half and hour??? I mean it’s fine and pretty balance between the time consumption and risk a player is taking, but it gets really old after a while.
So my suggestion is as followed :
Nesting requires a pair of dedicated (invite like groups??or smthing) male and female, and they would provide a growth bonus to all their hatchings when within both of their “buff” radius, at a cost of increase in food consumption to both parents and the children.
My idea is to let apex carnivores to only be able to rise 1-2 kids at the same time, as they have to constantly look for food WITH their kids instead of camping Ava’s and wait for 7hrs.
So it would be something like this: (Just a wide guess for the numbers)
Apex Carnivores , +50% growth and 75% food consumption to hatchlings until subs stage, but also +75% food consumption for parents per hatchlings in the vicinity. Small/medium buff radius.
Apex herbivores , +70% growth and 100% food consumption to hatchlings until subs stage, but also +80% food consumption for parents per hatchlings in the vicinity. Medium/large buff radius.
The same numbers are used for herbivores, but the difference is, there are usually more concentrated spawn of food source for herbivores. So they wouldn’t have to constantly wonder the map until the food runs out.
Eventually this would develop into a way more realistic game as the players would be rewarded for acting what dinos would actually do —> Herbs migrates in packs to nesting grounds, and carnis roam around their hunting ground for food. And I think it would also work with my previous 💩 suggestions
Idk is this is gonna work or not but ya thanks for sticking till the end

#

<------------------this

stark ruin
#

^Requiring both male and female is already a planned feature for nesting

misty island
#

just skip those partt

#

i was just bringing it up cus of the food/growth thing u guys were talking about

umbral prairie
#

@stark ruin I would not increase food drain for bigger herbivores (like trike and para), their gameplay could become a permanent search for food this way. Idk if this would work but I think it might be better to give bigger herbivores a very slow food drain, but in turn they need massive amounts of food to fill it up again. This way, a herd can stay in one spot for a while but then they have to travel a lot after that to refill their stomachs.

stark ruin
#

That would indeed make the gameplay more diverse, you're right

#

(Constant moving VS a balance of sometimes staying and sometimes moving)

#

Could you type that as an addition to my suggestion on the suggestion channel?

misty island
#

well

#

i kinda already blogged it once

#

idk if i could reblog it again

#

cus that was supposed to work with my other poop suggestions

#

so theres actaully more to it

#

but if you guys are interested i can post it here i guess

umbral prairie
#

why are there so many people making poop suggestions

misty island
#

Faeces implementation and it’s uses

So I was wondering if it be would possible that the game could implement a system involving making use of faeces. The idea is to let players mark their territories while adding benefits and disadvantages for both carnivores and herbivores.

In general, faeces would come in different sizes and appear in different colours according to their host’s diet under tracking mode when a player sniffs.

This would let herbivores avoid predator territories and allow hunters to locate their prey in a more generic location while only providing minimum informations. Which could lead to tactics like bluffing about the size of the pack you are in and such ectectect.

However this would not be exactly a fun change to the isle as it is already hard enough, so here’s an extension of my idea to spice things up a little. Except for only being as a mark indicator, faeces would also attract AI in a balanced way.

For herbivores, a herbivore dropping would attract AI carnivores, this wouldn’t just increase the danger for the herbivore players but in fact protects them. Since the hunters will now have to watch out for AI predators that might interfere with their hunt or even being hurt or killed by an AI predator.

As for carnivores, their faeces would enhance the chances of herbivore food spawning. Not only attracting bigger and more AI plant eating dinos but also more meat eating players. Increasing both danger and benefits.

Now at this point, the game would have distinctive play styles between different species or even different packs in the same species.

#

because ark

brisk mesa
#

@stark ruin Carnivores can grow even easier than herbivores due to how AI spawns LITERALLY based on your food %.

#

If carnivores NEEDED to hunt to sustain themselves / reach adult, sure fuck yes im all in for your idea of making large herds only 'sustainable' in areas towards the center of the map, with smaller ones able to exist on the fringe

#

But AI has already made growing carnivores easier than growing herbivores

normal fern
#

Yeah, Ai is just a bush that broadcasts its location to you right now

brisk mesa
#

^^^

#

If you had headphones as a carnivore player, you won't starve.

#

You will always be able to sustain yourself on AI.

#

worse still, as smaller carnivores, being in a pack is more sustainable than solo

#

because once someone is hungry, AI spawns... and that can feed several pack members

#

Herbivores have it harder the more members they have, but for carnivores it's the opposite

sly ember
#

it should really be the opposite

stark ruin
#

It's kinda weird anyway that tiny lil' squeakers spawn next to hungry, chatting packs of meat-eaters

#

Maybe AI should spawn near herbi food

lilac swallow
#

Ai should spawn randomly just like bushes

#

Not just at your side

jolly willow
#

tfw "survival" game gives you food on a plate

stark ruin
#

But bushes shouldn't be random either bcs geographically the flow of nutrients for plants to go doesn't work that way

sly ember
#

the only obstacle to survival is other players

stark ruin
#

When you find prey, you should be trying to find it where it makes sense for the prey to be in

sly ember
#

which is unfortunate

umbral prairie
#

I hope they will add bigger AI at some point, like hadrosaur herds maybe? They would just spawn randomly on the map wandering around, encouraging mid tiers and apexes to wander around more rather than sticking to one lake

#

I think they had a corythosaurus model once, that would be cool as AI imo. would probably be too similar to the hadrosaurs already in the game to be a playable

lilac swallow
#

More like It would be like a para not a maia

sweet zephyr
#

They are planning to make more AI

#

And make it less brain dead than it is now

versed blaze
#

Yup, after the recode

echo bridge
#

They should focus on adding brains to the ai instead of adding more of them

sly ember
#

that would also be very good. right now they are just twitchy lunchboxes

south flower
#

I don’t know about herbis guarding being against rules or discouraged - maybe some dinosaurs that travel with their own species are directly territorial when it comes to food. Even if they don’t have worry about carnis stealing their food, each bush can only offer so much and sometimes people don’t want to give up their food to other herbis, especially when there’s a chance that your hunger is much more depleted than someone else’s. If that made sense.

umbral prairie
#

I think it is more about herbis guarding corpses

south flower
#

Oh. That wasn’t specified really. My bad

#

Or

umbral prairie
#

there could just be an aspect of affinity lowering affinity if herbis stay near a corpse for too long

south flower
#

Well it does say corpse, I thought initially they meant guarding herbi food

sly ember
#

there is enough reasoning for it. stay near a corpse, smell like meat, get sniffed out by predators

south flower
#

And thought that they were comparing it to carnis corpse guarding

#

But yeah in that case, yeah, maybe an affinity thing to deter them from being near corpses

barren zephyr
#

@jolly willow But all they want is mourn their loss, and give the poor fella a proper burial instead of being eaten by overgrown dogs.

In all seriousness. Seems good :p

jolly willow
#

lol

mystic kestrel
#

@jolly willow i dunno if u are unable to make herb move from the dead corpse

#

then

#

thats it i guess

south flower
#

You could kill them, but then they’d cry about being killed when there was a body.

#

At least from my experience they have.

jolly willow
#

This only typically happens when its a herd OR

#

You're a weaker midtier dino like idk Carno

#

And somehow killed the sub/juv of these trikes

#

And now they wont fuck off

#

Idk it kinda feels like bullshit realism rules

#

Hrmm

mental sleet
#

@subtle edge that might be better fit for a mod tbh

subtle edge
#

@mental sleet a mod for limit the number of apexs accounts exist ?

mental sleet
#

no, but it is the most likely method to have your suggestion come to life.

subtle edge
#

@mental sleet ok, thanks for your response, ^^

loud oasis
#

You kind of want carnivores going to watering holes so the future aquatic dinos get some food

sacred wyvern
#

@craggy river

#

im a carno main and i dont want that

#

sure better hitbox

#

but no extra dmg

white falcon
#

@loud oasis carnivores, at least when I play, always seem to camp watering holes. They'll be adding fish; aquatics will (if they get added) have food.

#

Most watering holes (or rivers) for the most part aren't really deep enough for aquatic creatures to live, and even if they add small ones, they'll need to add current to make up for the lost ambush; small rivers sweeping away small aquatics would not be fun.

craggy river
#

@sacred wyvern

#

they nerfed it to 200

#

the same as a utah

umbral prairie
#

doesn't carno have a higher mass

#

so it actually does more damage

craggy river
#

no they nerfed it to 200 biteforce

#

and you c ant hit anything with carno

#

because of hitbox

umbral prairie
#

yes, that does not change anything about it's mass

craggy river
#

Im t alking a bout biteforce

umbral prairie
#

biteforce scales with weight

craggy river
#

They nerfed the biteforce

umbral prairie
#

if a carno bites a maia it does more damage than a utah biting a maia

#

even if the plain damage numbers are the same

craggy river
#

I know

#

But i think 200 is to low

sacred wyvern
#

when carno gets velocity dmg

#

it will 1 shot utah

#

so behave

craggy river
#

Carno can barely hit anything though

sacred wyvern
#

it can

#

i hit things fine

craggy river
#

The hitbox i s garbage

sacred wyvern
#

tbh im hitting things i shouldnt be hitting half the time

umbral prairie
#

I was about to make a suggestion on carno dealing more damage if it runs at the target, didn't know it was already planned

#

all hitboxes are stupid right now

craggy river
#

I ment like they increase the biteforce a nd do something a bout the hitbox

sacred wyvern
#

well

#

dryos is fine

#

😉

umbral prairie
#

whenever I play carno I bite just before my head would hit the target because there is a little delay

sacred wyvern
#

i always do that as any dino

#

so if its a 1v1 between same species

#

ill win

umbral prairie
#

it is most important with carno because it is so fast

sacred wyvern
#

yea timing is perfect

craggy river
#

did they nerf carno?

#

i r emeber it was 250

#

but i t is now 200

sacred wyvern
#

they buffed it from 150 to 250

#

then nerfed it to 200

umbral prairie
#

carnos bite speed is a little slow for my taste

sacred wyvern
#

yea

#

carnos slow boi bite

umbral prairie
#

but I guess it is so they don't assride but do hit and run tactics

sacred wyvern
#

yea but unlike most dinos

#

carnos hitbox ends after the bite

#

so when u bite and then run into someone after ur head is rasiing up it wont do dmg unlike a rex

craggy river
#

Honestly just change t he hitbox

umbral prairie
#

they're working on the recode

sacred wyvern
#

i hope the recode has some hypos in it

umbral prairie
#

hitboxes and many other things will be fixed with the code or shortly after it

sacred wyvern
#

also i bet affinitys gonna have a disabled button

umbral prairie
#

apexes are already way too easy to get to adult

#

they need to fix that first

sacred wyvern
#

i agree there

#

their fall dmgs aint realistic but are for balancing

umbral prairie
#

if apexes are not 50% stupid afk growers but something very hard to achieve

#

then they can work on hypers

#

which have to be even harder

#

than apex growth

sacred wyvern
#

slow things seem to have bad fall dmg while fast things have good fall dmg

umbral prairie
#

depends on the size

sacred wyvern
#

well take maia

#

maia weights alot and has the same fall dmg as dilo

#

because of its speed

umbral prairie
#

I think they will adjust the 'steepness' of hills the dinos will be able to walk up/down

#

right now they can just run up hills with an angle of 40 degrees

sacred wyvern
#

also a funny thing is the ground u bounce off doesnt count as ground so if u flip into a water u will get the water fall dmg and not the ground fall dmg

umbral prairie
#

I kinda hope dinos trying to run down steep hills will fall over and break their jaw or ribs or just die and will get slowed down if they try to run up steep hills

sacred wyvern
#

tbh

#

im not a fan of the running up and down locomotion stuff

#

slow things would take forever

#

to get up hills

umbral prairie
#

I think it should be a thing, at least up to a certain degree, a trike trotting up a hill should not get slowed much

#

but things trying to run up

#

should get slowed a bit

sacred wyvern
#

then wouldnt people just camp hills

#

and use them as traps

#

when u can lift food

#

set it on hill

#

and if dino come to eat it cant run cuz slow boi

#

tbh id do something like that lmao

umbral prairie
#

if they run down a hill that is too steep they should fall over(only if it is very steep), if they try to run up a steep hill they would get slowed, trotting down/up a steep hill would be fine

sacred wyvern
#

what if they run sidways

umbral prairie
#

idk

#

it just looks ridiculous how they run sideways atm

#

just tilted to the side

#

looking like they should fall down the hill

On OneEyedSnake's comment about allos using tendon/artery munching techniques on sauropods, perhaps that could be a mechanic for it. Allosaurus being able to inflict a sort of hamstring attack on creatures taller than itself? Not sure how this would work, maybe a sort of bleed tick that ramps up when you attack? Or something involving stamina drain also triggered by attacks.

Could be a bit OP maybe, probably a better way to go about it. but dinos having more unique utility like that would be neat

Try to not stray too far from the topic on hand.

lilac swallow
#

@barren zephyr the problem with your suggestions is that rex is literally meant to be hard to bleed out by giga, giga can hunt everithing dont focus on a match up you can just avoid by running away

#

But the cerato part👌

barren zephyr
#

Problem is Rex is already an apex that doesn't have much equal piers. Recent buffs made Rex slow turns faster than a giga, his sprint is faster and he has the added RNG to end the fight with a bone break. Rex intended playstyle is to ambush but now Giga shares the same playstyle my opinion it's kinda boring when the fight solely depends on how good of a fight opening you can make. That decides who the victor is.

lilac swallow
#

Giga isnt an ambush predator, is a endurance predator

regal wyvern
#

^

#

if 2 gigas can get around 2 bites on a rex, they can easily bleed it out to around 2nd stage and finish it off

lilac swallow
#

Giga just trot everything down, and when i say everything i mean EVERYTHING

regal wyvern
#

i trotted an allo down the other day as a giga

#

its hard to escape

barren zephyr
#

Thats the problem

#

You cant out endure a rex cause it catches you nor out bleed it

#

so only way you beat it if you ambush it

lilac swallow
#

You cant out endure a rex?

#

Thats basically what gigas do

#

Rex is out endured by everyone

rich adder
#

@barren zephyr *giga

barren zephyr
#

You already spend stamina on attacking the rex, while rex is on full stam and starts chasing you

#

he out turns you and catches you on a sprint

#

breaks your leg

#

game over

#

not much out enduring there

#

Only times rex actually runs out stamina first if he commits on the attack first

lilac swallow
#

As i said before Rex is meant to be hard to be bleed out by giga, giga is capable of hunting everything but rex, just avoid thebrex

#

Dont charge at it

barren zephyr
#

Short answer if you want to kill everything play Rex, if you want to beat a Rex bring a pair

lilac swallow
#

Nah

#

You seem to dont know that giga is the one to kill everithing

#

Rex has little chance of chasing things

barren zephyr
#

I know giga can run down everything

#

Rex is an ambush predator yes

lilac swallow
#

So whats the problem?

burnt lodge
#

Lol

barren zephyr
#

Problem is rex is pretty much untouchable on equal terms

#

But if thats meant to be that rexes can be only taken down with pairs then alright.

#

I just find it annoying that paired rexes are pretty much non-contestable for non-rexes

wispy abyss
#

@regal wyvern about farting noise and give away your position: thats childish imo, better as now when they growl from time to time

mystic kestrel
#

5 gigas

#

have better chance of killing 5 rexes

#

than the other way

#

Also rex is not hard to bleed out, 2 bites from giga is all it needs, you can even let him rest a bit to lower the bleed damage

#

but eventually he will drop low enough that u can face tank him

strange cliff
#

btw you wouldnt have to stop to poop, you could do it while moving so you dont have to stop during a chase

#

which of course is where making your enemy slip comes in

#

no more being ran down by a giga as a dibble

#

just lay one down and watch it slip

#

maybe slipping has a chance to make you limp? not for as long as bonebreak though i think

Gyp no

tall creek
#

I think small and medium herbs need a buff

#

it's too easy to kill them right now. So no one plays them and, when they do, they get slaughtered easily. Makes hunting boring

undone pike
#

@tall creek I agree with your post. In general I think carnivore caps on servers is needed. The herbivores are at such a disadvantage that they're just not fun to play. I'm trying to play as a trike but it's just me cowering in trees. I know that if any pack finds me I'm done for. I can't cover my rear or turn to face them.

tall creek
#

Trike isn't too bad. You need to play as a herd though to cover that butt. I mean things like paras

#

Right now, a rex outruns paras

#

It can't fight back, it can't run away, it's just meals on legs

dry cradle
#

those suggestions up there are crap

#

😉

tall creek
#

Which makes it boring for carnivores. I mean... Would you rather have a half hour struggle to take down a beast five times your size with your pack mates and then finally slaughter it and feast or would you rather walk up to it and go, "om nom. Herp a deep. U ded. I is da greatist coz I is a rex. Hurr hurr"

undone pike
#

Even in a herd I feel the Trike which is supposed to be the tank of herbs can be too easily killed. A rex can face tank and cripple it then unless there's a few adults there it's likely done for.

dry cradle
#

no regrets

lilac swallow
#

Rex doesnt outrun para

tall creek
#

I tested it last night. It does.

#

Without ambush

#

It's just lucky we were testing or I'd have been dead three times over

lilac swallow
#

Absolutely not

#

Just ask in the isle discussion

tall creek
#

Well then someone was doing some cheating or something. Because it ran past me

#

And I had a head start

#

The point still stands though. As of now, there are few herbivore players because they're too weak

#

They're not viable long term

#

Bar the trike.

Seriously just ask in the isle disscusion if you dont believe me, i actually agree with your post about buffing herbis

mental sleet

#

and dryosaurus

and maia.

tall creek
#

They're not viable. Dryo is because of the burrow but it's disabled currently

mental sleet
#

Oh no, they are quite viable.

#

Galli only dies to its own cockyness.

#

Diablos have been killing apexes regularly.

#

Maia is just good overall.

tall creek
#

If they're viable then why don't you see more people playing them. You don't. It's far too easy to kill anything as a carnivore

mental sleet
#

you haven't played the game lately have you ?

tall creek
#

I play every night.

umbral prairie
#

how is it easy to kill maias or gallis

#

both very fast

mental sleet
#

I don't quite recall if I was in a herd of 15 or more herbivores and we just mobbed carnivore packs one after the other.

tall creek
#

Really easy actually. Utahs can take down a maia with no trouble.

umbral prairie
#

they are not rare because they get killed often

mental sleet
#

Oh this is hilarious.

umbral prairie
#

yeah they can if the maia is too stupid to run in a straight line

#

or use alt turn

tall creek
#

I'd rather not have an argument if you don't mind. We were having a discussion. Not a verbal brawl.

#

I have dinner to make in any case. Pleasant evening chapa

umbral prairie
#

I agree in most points, like utahs having it way too easy to kill things since they can run through their prey

jovial arch
#

What can a Utah kill tho if what it’s hunting is good if it’s good

#

Seriously

umbral prairie
#

But some points are weird, like less adult apexes if herbis are buffed, I mean most apexes grow on AI only and often feed on AI when they reach adulthood

jovial arch
#

I can’t imagine Utah downing anything thats competent solo

#

Oh wait

#

Pachy

#

Ok

#

Pachy is shit

#

You got me there

#

But uh

#

That’s it...

#

I guess dryo and Galli too

umbral prairie
#

utah solo is not a problem, but is you have like 4 utahs it is already getting difficult to defend yourself against them if you're slower, even with alt turn since they can attack from multiple directions. I hope that with the combat rework dinos won't be able to just run through each other, plus utah should rely on it's pounce to kill things (I'd imagine a utah on a dinos side clawing into it dealing some good damage, but it should be risky to use pounce)

normal fern
#

I mean that's how pack hunting works?

#

You overwhelm something so it can't defend itself

umbral prairie
#

it is how pack hunting works, but it is too easy to do right now

#

they just spam ambush

#

and run through you

normal fern
#

Its like asking why para can't fight off 2 allos.

Because it's 2 allos

lilac swallow
#

No, is asking why these allos dont even care of getting a hit

#

2 allos vs 1 para should be allo win, but the allos shouldnt say "oh look at this is walking food"

undone pike
#

My problem is that if you aren't in a herd with multiple adults then any pack can take you out quite easily. If you're a solo (any herb) and two utahs or allos get on opposite sides of you how are you supposed to defend yourself? One will always attack from behind and you can't get too them. Genuinly if someone has a solution let me know.

normal fern
#

Hunger changes.

The point of being in a pack is that it makes hunting easier, I don't know why you all find this difficult to understand

undone pike
#

@lilac swallow agreed. Its too easy for the carnivores. If it was more of a fair fight that'd be great but it's just a matter of hitting your blind sides or letting you bleed out until you die.

lilac swallow
#

Hunting easier doesnt mean having 0 risk on killing something

normal fern
#

When the pack is large enough, yeah

umbral prairie
#

(again, talking about when combat rework is there) a big pack of utahs should have the potential to kill things with almost, if not apex size, with some pack members pouncing it, then, once they are on low stam, other pack members pounce, wearing the other dino down, but it should be way riskier than it is now. pounce should drain quite a lot of stam and should require some skill to land correctly, plus falling down should have a chance of bone fracture/break and it would slow you down for a short while as you have to stand up again

lilac swallow
#

But right now just 2 allos are "large enought"

normal fern
#

Because then the problem becomes hunger demands

#

What's wrong with that?

lilac swallow
#

Having literally zero risk of losing 1 of the allo of the pair isnt fair, they should win but not that easy

normal fern
#

Ok so what would you do then?

umbral prairie
#

I don't know if this would work but maybe give runners some sort of 'stunning' attack? like a para hitting an allo with it's tail, slowing it down and taking away it's ambush speed while the para can run away

#

would of course only work if ambushed from behind

lilac swallow
#

Idk what just make it easy but not 0% risk easy

undone pike
#

I've been hoping for a tail whip option for almost all dinos. Just something that can get an attacker off your butt. If are carnivore gets on your backend they can just trail you and you can't fight back

normal fern
#

Alt turn, you have no excuse to get assridden

#

Except servers have alt-turn disabled

lilac swallow

If a game has official servers, and all these servers has the same mechanichs activated these mechanics are the only that count at balancing

#

Ignore any input on balancing that doesn't come from an official server

Alt turn was created for a reason, if you choose to play on a server with no alt turn you deserve to get assriden

Because officials only hold 100 players each

indigo sun
#

Alt turn is nice. Its not an instant turn and will eventually look better so im fine with it
Most people play no alt turn cause the alt turn servers are full and 70% of server owners dont believe in alt turn

umbral prairie
#

there are other alt turn servers

versed blaze
#

so, choices are limited

Nines nailed it

#

ALthough soon everything will be alt turn according to Dondi

umbral prairie
#

that really needs to happen soon

#

utahs assriding rexes to death is ridiculous

indigo sun
#

Thatll be a glorious day

umbral prairie
#

and all the 'dinos are not ballerinas' realism server admins will be triggered

#

because their 'realistic' dinos will be able to do a realistic thing

#

and, maybe I am unusually lucky, but I never really have problems joining servers, even if they're full it never took me more than 5 minutes to get in

indigo sun
#

I play on a semi-realism server with alt turn and its a lot more realistic

#

So full realism server owners can suck it up

umbral prairie
#

the experience I've had with realism servers were 90% no alt turn and a playerbase that is constantly angry bitching about every little mistake you make, or even things that are not actually against the rules, like the profile says 'usually prefers running away but can fight back as a last resort', and I am surrounded and with my back against a wall, I fight back, the people instantly whine about it in global chat

#

maybe I was unlucky with the servers

indigo sun
#

See, thats why i go for semi-realism. Full on realism servers have far too many rules and everyone complains stuff isnt realistic

umbral prairie
#

semi-realism can be nice

#

I prefer playing on officials since I can do pretty much whatever I want, the only thing that alwaysannoyed me with officials were mega- and mixpacks, but since officials have rules for that they are fine

#

but I understand why people like semi-realism

atomic stag
#

You know what’d be nice , omnivores

mental sleet
#

no way to balance those out

I feel like even when the option to remove alt-turn is disabled all the retarded creatures realism server admins will just make alt turning illegal.

Like if you alt turn in combat Insta ban

thats what a lot of people have been thinking lul

@barren zephyr the reason for gigas fast trot and stam regen while trotting is because it is an endurance hunter, it has slow sprint speed so it might not kill something during it's first attack, but it can effectively trot it down and track it over time

#

rex has no stam regen while trotting because it is a fast ambusher, if it fails it's attack the whole hunt is failed, as it has to rest to regain stam and cannot really track it's prey because it has a slow trot speed

barren zephyr
#

well giga can still trot it without using stamina

#

and then re ambush again

#

when it has enought

umbral prairie
#

the stam regen is necessary so it can start another sprint without resting, since that would take the time it needs to track it's prey

barren zephyr
#

how about it just troting without sprinting

umbral prairie
#

how is it going to catch anything

barren zephyr
#

on the first strike

umbral prairie
#

giga

#

is

barren zephyr
#

eother it gets it or not, then just scent the blood trail

umbral prairie
#

endurance hunter

#

maybe it gets one bite in

#

but then it needs to keep going

#

to not lose it's prey

barren zephyr
#

one bite will give 3 bleed to most things

#

then it trots

#

doesent need to re sprint

#

also whats the point of trike not regening stam on trot

umbral prairie
#

it is true that it does not need it in the majority of it's hunt

#

but why remove it

#

rex doesn't have it because it is specifically an ambusher

barren zephyr
#

no

mystic kestrel
#

Why the hell u want remove stamina regen

#

for giga

barren zephyr
#

@mystic kestrel oi watch it

mystic kestrel
#

Why everyone and their mother wants changes to giga or rexes

#

they are fine the way they are at this given moment

umbral prairie
#

trike idk, probably so it does not regen stam while in combat and needs to manage it's stam for heavy attacks and short sprints

mystic kestrel
#

trike needs stam regen while walkin

umbral prairie
#

combat is a bit weird right now anyway, we don't need to get the stats changed all the time, combat rework will change a lot of things, for example how both ambushers and bleeders will have to attack to have their attack be effective

@valid flower No alt turn servers suck. I have had the game for a few months though. I think alt turn makes the games balanced. I think the animation needs work. They added it for a reason. All animals can turn in place, elephants, ostrich, and even alligators . I hope they improve alt turn animation, and implementation, and no alt turn servers go away. The servers with the best ping are no alt turn. I want a nice ping but i can't with the no alt turn

#

Are therizino too fast?

umbral prairie

yes

they're in sandbox though

I don't like it. Elephants can turn on a circus platform barely as big as their feet so it just doesn't make sense to me to limit yourself. The animation isn't pretty but I don't think i ever will play no alt turn, and my skills as an allo are pretty good. Just doesn't make sense to me to not have something for basic movement in the official game

its not like it's hard to assride someone, anyways. you just get behind them and it's over. not to mention smaller dinos could technically ambush YOU if you were to play something like an apex. if you put your guard down and something like a cerato gets behind you and you're a solo full grown apex

#

you're most likely going to be dead in a few minutes

barren zephyr
#

what if the some dinos could pick up their young, to quickly move them?
like some could pick them up like with there mouths, or some with there arms, something like that

misty island
#

Ya and you can’t bite when u picked them up

#

But it should only be hatchlings tho

desert prairie
#

@bronze socket Reason why rex has bone break is because it doesn't have the speed or stamina to catch something. As irritating as it may be :/

bronze socket
#

that is no reason for it to be the only thing with leg break because I don't know if you know this but 8.3 tons dropping down on a bone will 100% break a leg more often then 1200n of force. not to mention for a game that boast being "realistic" the rex wouldn't aim for anythings legs.

keen dock
#

I just wish there was a counter to rex. seems like full grown rex, boop, nothing can kill you if you have a pair

#

🤷

indigo sun
#

they'll probably add bone break for something else eventually. also, nowhere does it say realistic on the steam page

bronze socket
#

they used to have it on everything

#

most*

#

most everything*

indigo sun
#

well it wouldn't make sense for everything to have it when every dinosaur is meant to have its niche

keen dock
#

maybe they could change the percentage based on what the creature was

#

like, if rex bites a giga, much lower chance of it breaking its leg

#

than if it bites say a maia or something

thorny lynx
#

There is a mechanic that does that. It's called weight

keen dock
#

isn't it just a flat 75% chance?

bronze socket
#

I'm sorry but the leg break niche would be more leaned toward things like anky and pachy not rex

thorny lynx
#

No

#

70% for something its own size, 63% for full grown giga, 50% for trike

keen dock
#

yikes. still a startling amount

indigo sun
#

i do understand anky and pachy, considering the hard armor and bony areas, but rex did need something going for it with its speed

#

it cant catch anything with how slow it runs

thorny lynx
#

It runs faster than giga and sucho

bronze socket
#

it does have something going

#

it does 1200 dmg

thorny lynx
#

1200 damage doesn't matter when you have the slowest bite in the game

#

You missed? Too bad. Try again

bronze socket
#

you know like everything else in the game?

keen dock
#

I just wish there was a counter instead of Achieve leg break? You win!

thorny lynx
#

I wish Rex was more... fast-trot, slow run, stupid high stamina, can't chase for shit, just waits until you tire out and then crushes you with several bited

keen dock
#

I'd be okay with that honestly

#

at least that requires some sort of skill

thorny lynx
#

Like, give it stupid high stamina

#

But slow run

#

Very slow

keen dock
#

whereas atm it's just, first bite, probably leg break, gg automatically dead

#

like no skill involved at all

desert prairie
#

When they add in cama only gigas will be able to kill it

thorny lynx
#

I want Rex to be scary because it has the ability to catch you and track you even if you run away

desert prairie
#

anky should get bone break and thick armor

thorny lynx
#

I might suggest that

keen dock
#

I think that would be a better alternative to the current rex

thorny lynx
#

Like

#

He is slow as fuck, he won't catch anything except juvie outright

#

But his bite is nasty. 1.5k

#

When he does catch you, he catches you

#

He earned it

#

But then everyone is like no my giga

keen dock
#

giga are bleeders though

#

it's a bit different

thorny lynx
#

True

#

It's the 'rex outpaces giga' thing all over again

#

I'll see what I can come up with

#

How does... 5 minutes of stam at like... 18 miles an hour sound?

cobalt quest
#

giga regens Stam while walking

#

that's a big advantage

desert prairie
#

Gigas niche is agility and bleed

#

rex is fast ambush and overwhelming damage

cobalt quest
#

giga has horrible agility lol

desert prairie
#

Its trot is outmatched

cobalt quest
#

it's way too big to agile and it's slow

desert prairie
#

only apex to regen stam

#

so out of the apexes, yes agility is fantastic

#

good alt turn as well

cobalt quest
#

yeah it's more uh.. not resilient..

#

it just can go longer.

bronze socket
#

i mean they are fine where they are at with speed and dmg honestly just up there bleed to half of gigas and take off bone break, they are tanky and sprint quite fast but dont have much stam

thorny lynx
#

I still say Rex should be a long-distance pursuit hunter and scavenger.

cobalt quest
#

better pursuit hunter

#

eh i think rex is cool as it is

desert prairie
#

thats a terrible idea

#

rex has so many good things going for it

thorny lynx
#

Rex gameplay is stupid. Sit in trees, wait for something to walk by, kill it

cobalt quest
#

i enjoy rex style as high damage ambush

desert prairie
#

rex players dont even do that

#

unless its a 200 pop server

thorny lynx
#

They should not have to hide and ambush

desert prairie
#

most don't

bronze socket
#

rex's are ambush hunters

desert prairie
#

they get up close crouching

cobalt quest
#

that is true most don't wait

thorny lynx
#

That is an ambush, Int.

desert prairie
#

an ambush is when it starts running

#

not crouching and walking

cobalt quest
#

most wander the map at trot and actively seek prey and stalk it kind of like a big cat that isn't good at hiding

thorny lynx
#

An ambush is when you manage to sneak up on something, regardless

cobalt quest
#

sex shouldn't have high Stam.

thorny lynx
#

Why should a 6 ton behemoth be quiet

indigo sun
#

i find i disagree with you ,dilo/dryo. We already have a dino who can track and pursue. Also, something that huge should not be a scavenger. Rexes should be ambush hunters. it wouldnt make sense for both apexes to run the same amount of time or be able to both chase down their prey

thorny lynx
#

Or even sneak

cobalt quest
#

yeah rex's weight?

desert prairie
#

imo if rex were to recieve a nerf it should be to health take off 200 bite force and reduce grow time by an hour

cobalt quest
#

you really think big fat boy is gonna be like

#

high stam

#

lol

thorny lynx
#

High stam but really really slow

desert prairie
#

Why would any rex player want that

cobalt quest
#

since when do big fat things have high stam

#

look at a bear

thorny lynx
#

Because you tire something out, wait until it is weak

desert prairie
#

Lol

cobalt quest
#

they are pretty fast but short distance runners

desert prairie
#

most things have 3-4 minutes of stam

#

and with rexes unmatched bite force and heal rate that would be broken

indigo sun
#

no one would want that. I don't even play rex and I don't want that. If you cant catch up to something, it'd be impossible to find something thats like 8 times your speed (hyperbole)

thorny lynx
#

4 minutes of stam at 18 miles an hour. That's more slow than any dinosaur

nocturne blaze
#

A short burst of speed is much better for rex gameplay than being super slow and having lots of stam. That makes no sense.

cobalt quest
#

and allosaurs are the pursuit hunters, dilo. well. cera can do it too. or utah.

desert prairie
#

that makes 0 sense

thorny lynx
#

The point is to tire something out

desert prairie
#

you cant if you lose them in the first 30 seconds lmao

cobalt quest
#

but rex shouldn't do that

#

that's not it's niche

#

.. ngl we can't change your opinion, but your opinion is disagreed with.

desert prairie
#

If you want a tracker play giga

#

use its trot

cobalt quest
#

yeahh

#

allo is even better for pursuit

#

that thing has amazing stam

bronze socket
#

and allo still has the infinite stam bug

indigo sun
#

just doesn't make sense for me personally, to have both rex and giga be pursuit hunters

thorny lynx
#

Why should something hat weighs 6 tons be able to chase down dryos and gallis after crouching down for several seconds

cobalt quest
#

it can't though

#

rex ambush is like 37

#

galli is 48

thorny lynx
#

They changed the multiplier?

indigo sun
#

is it? i thought it was slower

cobalt quest
#

dryo is 40

thorny lynx
#

Used to be 1.5x

cobalt quest
#

yeah rex amb is 37 for 6 seconds

thorny lynx
#

Wow, they nerfed it

desert prairie
#

rex ambush is 43

thorny lynx
#

The multipliervused to be 1.5x

desert prairie
#

and galli is 48

cobalt quest
#

that's odd because if it was 43 utah would've been caught

desert prairie
#

and dryo is 41

cobalt quest
#

and it wasn't

thorny lynx
#

I thought his multiplier was 1.5x, which made him hit 45

desert prairie
#

and who cares if it can catch a dryo

#

they grow in 30 minutes

cobalt quest
#

also 6 seconds is

desert prairie
#

and make tons of noise

cobalt quest
#

if you're close enough to a rex to get in that range

#

when it's that big

#

uH

#

u blind

thorny lynx
#

Rex also has momentum, so his top speed only lasts for 4 seconds

desert prairie
thorny lynx
#

Don't trust the wiki

cobalt quest
#

same

desert prairie
#

I don't trust much unless devs publish it

thorny lynx
#

Adult rex is 30.2 base

desert prairie
#

ah

cobalt quest
#

yeah

desert prairie
#

well even more point not to make it even more trash

cobalt quest
#

yeah rex is good as is. it can catch stuff like allos while crouching at close range

#

which is what it should

desert prairie
#

Currently the only thing I see rexes catching is trikes and sometimes they just get dunked on by the trikes

cobalt quest
#

as my rex i catch midtier game if i get in range

#

maia never though

desert prairie
#

well most herbs are not ment to be caught

cobalt quest
#

well unless its really unaware

thorny lynx
#

I would rather see rexes working for their food, rather than what they're doing, now

desert prairie
#

wut

cobalt quest
#

LOL DO YOU KNOW WHAT A FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS IT IS TO SNEAK UP ON SHIT AS REX

desert prairie
#

do you even play rex or just watch people play it?

cobalt quest
#

not too mention after a certain distance like

#

plants do not render im

thorny lynx
#

I used to play Rex. It's boring.

indigo sun
#

how long ago?

thorny lynx
#

I used to love its playstyle, but now it's so boring.

cobalt quest
#

probably back before it got it's niche

thorny lynx
#

Like, before the stam nerf

cobalt quest
#

because rex us better than before to me

bronze socket
#

by niche you mean it o look you won

cobalt quest
#

you used to be able to run down a bunch of shit with it's stam

#

rex had good stam

desert prairie
#

Right now rex is in a good spot however there is nothing to challenge it, gigas dont go for it because once its leg breaks it's dead for sure. Trikes usually want to avoid rexes.

thorny lynx
#

But he had 16 miles an hour under his belt

#

If he caught you, he deserved it

desert prairie
#

Once anky gets added in the combo with trike rexes will be extinct

cobalt quest
#

LOL N O. it could out stam giga

#

and just kill it

#

that was ridiculous

indigo sun
#

trikes are to rexes like parking lot nuggets are to gulls. theyre easy to eat

desert prairie
#

Not always

#

most trikes are in max herds

cobalt quest
#

oh yeah trike is sorry rn

bronze socket
#

well i mean if anky gets buffed as it is anky just gets dumpster'd by rex

cobalt quest
#

@desert prairie don't assume official.

desert prairie
#

ok so then 10 trikes grouped together

#

Idk what you want me to assume.

cobalt quest
#

and who knows how many rexes

indigo sun
#

Maybe it's just me, but I've heard people complaining about trikes being absolutely useless. and I've never seen 10 trikes together

cobalt quest
#

trike is...

thorny lynx
#

I really hope when combat overhaul comes in, Rex does more damage to the throat or back when it crunches on spinal cords and jugulars

cobalt quest
#

ok

desert prairie
#

I only play official because it's balanced from the devs..

thorny lynx
#

Mm

bronze socket
#

i just assume semi-realism servers are what we are talking about for balance because i mean death match and no rule servers are just eh

desert prairie
#

Well not so much balanced

cobalt quest
#

I've heard of people kill rexes with their trikes but

desert prairie
#

I chase down rexes lol

cobalt quest
#

personally when you kill 2 trikes solo with one rex

#

it's sad

desert prairie
#

oddly enough trike has double rex stam

cobalt quest
#

BUT

#

most rexes don't walk

#

like they only trot and get demolished

thorny lynx
#

I walk

#

I Don't fuck around in close combat

edgy furnace
#

Oh no someone is complaining about alt turn dondiLUL

cobalt quest
#

you don't play rex.

thorny lynx
#

Used to.

desert prairie
#

They always do @edgy furnace

cobalt quest
#

doesn't matter rex turn has changed

thorny lynx
#

I used to be good at it, too.

cobalt quest
#

got buffed

indigo sun
#

i see no reason to complain about something that won't be taken out

desert prairie
#

^

thorny lynx
#

Even when Gigas were larger than acros, I killed a pack of 3 and sat down to chill.

cobalt quest
#

true yeah the rex niche is here to stay

desert prairie
#

Right now acros are shit

#

not balanced

cobalt quest
#

acro lol

indigo sun
#

to be fair, theyre non survival and arent really cared about right now

cobalt quest
#

shouldn't be
not a survival dino

desert prairie
#

It takes like 3 hours to fully heal as an acro

thorny lynx
#

Rex better do some serious damage when he bites your face or neck when location damage comes in

desert prairie
#

I never really understood location damage

thorny lynx
#

I wanna see him demolish a Para's neck in one crunch

desert prairie
#

you just kinda bite everywhere...

#

Idk how you're gonna break legs lol

cobalt quest
#

yEp

#

crouch

thorny lynx
#

You don't go for the legs wtf

#

You go for vital areas

cobalt quest
#

gonna go for the legs

desert prairie
#

If you want a leg break

cobalt quest
#

nibble them thighs

desert prairie
#

Lol

cobalt quest
#

and uhh that's only true for big dinos

thorny lynx
#

Why break their legs when you paralyze them by crunching through their spinal cord

desert prairie
#

It wont go that in depth

thorny lynx
#

Then RIP out their jugular

cobalt quest
#

stuff like utahs would use tactics seen in modern day pack hunters

thorny lynx
#

Mmm

cobalt quest
#

which is biting the thighs

#

keep in mind not everything is meant to do the ol classic

#

'rip out their neck'

indigo sun
#

smaller dinos would probably do what pack hunters do, which is go for the soft spots. Some rexes like to play with their food though

thorny lynx
#

Rex biting the neck should always do more damage

#

Hell, anything that bleeds should do hella damage at the neck

cobalt quest
#

then there's the thought of rex biting trikes head and getting recoil damage

thorny lynx
#

That's fine

cobalt quest
#

gonna be tricky to land a neck bite when your head hitbox is thiccque

thorny lynx
#

The neck, regardless, should be a dinosaur's weakest spot

#

Especially the throat

cobalt quest
#

and it probably will be

#

maybe the head on other species

thorny lynx
#

I really hope so

#

I better see gigas hemorrhage paras with a single bite to their neck

indigo sun
#

I hope the belly is also a weak point, considering it holds your vital organs

cobalt quest
#

ngl i bet that's really really far in the future

#

at best.

thorny lynx
#

I wanna see Rex crunching down on spines and exploding bone and blood vessels. Rex's bite literally exploded bone.

#

Fucker ate bone for a living.

cobalt quest
#

also we're getting off topic

thorny lynx
#

Can we talk about food values for one moment

#

And how they are janked

cobalt quest
#

i
yeah

#

carno juvis are supreme

thorny lynx
#

You can eat a whole dilo and it leaves more food than an allo does before it ribs out

cobalt quest
#

don't even mention juvi giga

#

that has more food than the damn dilo

thorny lynx
#

I feel like

cobalt quest
#

allos as a whole aren't really worth killing as a big carni

#

they give very little

thorny lynx
#

It's almost 3 tons

#

Should be filling a rex at least past quarter before ribs

#

I'm gonna do some suggestions on food values

cobalt quest
#

ngl i.. don't know why people hate alt turn so much. only a few things have a really ridiculous alt turn and they're all small

#

like you look in nature things don't have to fucking walk forward to turn. they CAN twist their body around

versed blaze
#

It's in the game to stay

cobalt quest
#

that too

#

like it ain't gonna go away cause it isn't liked

#

most of the big games alt turns are so bad they don't really help it against packs

#

they just keep the classic carno ass ride technique from being a thing

indigo sun
#

it can help against packs, but not if theyre smart

cobalt quest
#

yeah like it helps you not get completely ass ridden but

#

'smart' being just decent at the game

#

ngl it is more common to catch someone running through your ass and into your face range than alt turning in time to grab them

#

in fact, normally your walk turn is better than your alt

thorny lynx
#

Finally finished my suggestion

misty island
#

I like the idea of swallower
