well

#

actually I guess depending on how you use it it means that

barren zephyr
#

yes it is what it means

vestal rune
#

it can mean that if you use it as a negative thing, but it can also simply mean they have similar gameplay elements, like how most videogames of a genre are a knock off of the original game in that genre

brittle bough
#

okay dude jesus christ it was a quick casual conversation i wasnt surgically picking every word to be as accurate as possible
if you look at what i said, i said it was a suitable knockoff if you cant run the isle
IF the isle does not exist in this scenario, it is close enough in gameplay to be a substitute
should i have also specified the exact specs needed?? because i shorthanded 'shitty computer' with '2gb ram'

vestal rune
#

anyways I'ma shut up because this is an innapropiate channel

barren zephyr
#

isle knockoff still sounds like an affirm that you are calling it a copy.

#

you covered it with valid points

#

but still sounds negative even though its not

#

thats the only reason i minded

brittle bough
#

you must be fun at parties if you nitpick every word that people casually say
it would be different if i was extensively arguing how eot is a knockoff of the isle, but it was just a single mention to get the point across that its similar but not identical in gameplay without going "yeah you spawn in as a juvenile and survive and pack up and there are specific plants you can eat but it has x dinosaurs and doesnt have sniffing so its still different from the isle"

barren zephyr
#

note the word "minded" I only MINDED because it sounded like you are calling it a shameless copy

#

any terms that means similar but not in a bad way and i would actually agree with you in every way

umbral prairie
#

you could say that more nicely though

#

it came across very angry and unfriendly

#

and that wasn't really needed

#

at least to me, idk about the others

barren zephyr
#

They could make another Island where everything has a mystical aspect about it. Creatures included 😃

brittle bough
#

eh, would probably be too much effort for what theyre going for given the differences it would have. a fantasy dinosaur-themed game could be neat though, considering the current array of dinosaur games as far as i know is "realistic" "realistic except it likes jp" or "realistic but with hybrids"

umbral prairie
#

I don't think it would fit the base game and the idea behind it very much, but it could be something for a mod or modpack

barren zephyr
#

Indeed 😃

#

Maybe put tunnels in certain parts of the map so burrowing creatures could use them, maybe even juvi raptors

blazing charm
#

@lunar finch (1) Shants aren't balanced around Survival, don't get me wrong they were still pretty damn awful back on Progression and whatnot, but they weren't as bad as they are now.

(2) Shants are stupidly large animals, I'd argue they are the 3rd largest non-strain creature in the game. The other two being Carmara and Brachi.

If you lower their damage, it's deemed unfair that they can't defend themselves and they ultimately just become a bigger Para, but if you lower their speed they just become a slightly different Trike. I think the stomp would work much better if it required more skill to use, it'd help if the stomp could only be used in a specific stance, telegraphing to animals around that it is preparing to stomp, that way you don't have Shants just speeding you down and curb stomping you into the 5th dimension.

Honestly though, I'd much prefer Shant to be replaced with another herbivore entirely, something like Edmontosaurus, Anatosaurus or hell even Iguanodon (New model, same sounds.) Something that can operate in a similar fashion but on a smaller scale.

#

But that's just me.

#

Just realised that kinda turned into my own suggestion halfway through, but whatevs.

paper oriole
#

"rely on numbers" like the only herbi apex in survival does atm too

#

shant is overtuned it can spamstomp a cama to death and still have stam to spare but they should be viable for solo play (if they ever make it to surv) otherwise no reason to touch them

lunar finch
#

@blazing charm I'd still say they aren't in a good spot. Really the biggest point of being a Herbi is that you are somewhat defenseless on your own. You need to rely on your speed or numbers to survive. A Herbi shouldn't be taking on an Apex predator. Or at least; Something like a Shant simply doesn't look like it would effectively fight Apex like it does.

@paper oriole But the thing is; that's not how it works in reality. A Shant shouldn't be a Solo creature. The only creatures that should be Solo-able are Apex predators, and massive Herbi's that are simply too big to care about anything else. If a Shant can Solo, then they become way too strong if there are too many of them.

mental sleet
#

I disagree, certain herbivores should be stronger than the animals that hunt them.

paper oriole
#

^

blazing charm
#

To be fair, they are really big, and heavy. I thikn the problem is that Shant doesn't have any kind of weakness, it's just kinda good at everything.

paper oriole
#

sounds like you just want easier pickings lol

lilac swallow
#

Defenceless on your own? Really? Whats the point of playing if you are doomed to play with some random people that may not be playing the same dino as yours

paper oriole
#

if some massive shit like a shant stomps you with its 11 ton body backing it up you will get fucked up

#

common sense

lunar finch
#

But not to a T-Rex or a Giga, or ANY other Apex.

viral creek
#

Do you know how huge shant is.

lunar finch
#

Not bigger than a Rex

paper oriole
#

lmao

viral creek
#

Yes bigger than a rex

#

Shant is a huge animal

lunar finch
#

Why are you guys mocking me? I'm absolutely right. You truly think two little legs are more dangerous than a maw of teeth?

paper oriole
#

shant is like over twice the weight of a rex?

lilac swallow
#

Shant is a diplodocus without long neck and tail, thats its size

viral creek
#

I don't think the legs are more dangerous

#

I think the 11-12 tons are dangerous.

lilac swallow
#

The shant "falling" on top of you is surely dangerous

paper oriole
#

go pick on some dryos and dont go by a shant if you think it's too strong for your rex

viral creek
#

Shant should keep his power, but be made as defensive ai. since he's very commonly abused.

paper oriole
#

you arent supposed to just run up and facetank a titan like shant

lunar finch
#

You are all missing out on a HUGE chunk of logic. You assume these creatures should Solo, but physically, they have absolutely NO physical traits that suggest they would do much damage to something of equal size. Headbutts? Fine, but a headbutt shouldn't be strong enough to solo an Apex.

You're all being ignorant first off for mocking me, thinking that somehow makes your point. But you forget that Shants need something to hunt them. If they have no true predator, they completely miss out on what Herbi gameplay is all about. Survival.

paper oriole
#

their physical trait is 12 tons that they can punch you in the face with

viral creek
#

^

mild basin
#

@lunar finch the shant has been acknowledged by the entire dev team as a mistake, they know it's too powerful

lunar finch
#

I don't give a fuck how much they weight. A T-rex isn't much smaller.

paper oriole
#

a shant can be hunted by a rex pack

lunar finch
#

Exactly, I am right.

lilac swallow
#

Is a game when balance comes first, if i cant survive solo i just dont play

paper oriole
#

i've done it, i've had it done to me

viral creek
#

Rex pack

#

Not solo easily

lunar finch
#

You're truly all ignorant.

#

Why mock? Have a discussion

mild basin
#

the shant is never coming to survival according to devs

cyan flame
#

I think that in some of these cases, people are looking at the animation, rather than the.. well, effect the critter would have. Is the trike stomp weird, yes, but see it as a charge, and it makes sense. Same thing for a shant, is the stomp weird, yes, but imagine it as the shant doing a full body tackle, and it might make more sense?

mild basin
#

iirce

#

iirc

viral creek
#

Nobody should think he's indestructible, but the fact that you say he should be "Defenseless" alone is absurd.

#

He's a huge, 12 ton wall of meat and muscle. He's no pushover.

lunar finch
#

Again, you're ignorant. I said they need to work together. Like most Herbi's should

paper oriole
#

"you're truly all ignorant" /thinks all herbis should be solo kills and rely on meat shield groups to be playable

lunar finch
#

But you assume I mean completely defenseless

viral creek
#

No herbivore should RELY on working together.

lunar finch
#

Devs agree with me, I don't need to continue this with a few people who think mocking others makes a point.

viral creek
#

Working together is simply a bonus

cyan flame
#

Pretty sure a shant is big enough to solo an apex actually

lunar finch
#

Size doens't matter if you don't have any offensive traits

cyan flame
#

If we had collision/trample/maybe "charge" damage.. you know what would happen? That shant would run the rex over I suspect

viral creek
#

Developers don't like how strong shant is, because his power is abuseable. not because his power is unrealistic.

cyan flame
#

It wouldn't stop and stomp you, it'd just go "Coming through" and that's it

paper oriole
#

offensive trait > 12 ton body to smash people with

lunar finch
#

@viral creek That's wrong, but okay

cyan flame
#

The stomp is a bit weird as an attack perhaps, but the power itself makes sufficient sense I think

viral creek
#

Don't tag me, I'm right here.

lunar finch
#

Devs agree with me. That's all I need to hear. Not about to argue with ignorant children who can't have a civil discussion.

mental sleet
#

what

viral creek
#

Nobody's being uncivil.

paper oriole
#

the literal only prob with shant is its ability to chase the slower preds down to pancake them, not their actual strength

mental sleet
#

better question, what dev ?

lilac swallow
#

Again, who without being masochist play a dino that relies on random people to be playing in the same server time and map location using the same dino as your

cyan flame
#

That seems a bit arrogant, and why do you keep calling everyone else ignorant?

lilac swallow
#

?

paper oriole
#

because they are the actual one being ignorant

lunar finch
#

@cyan flame Because everyone feels the need to mock others they disagree with.

#

Instead of having a civil discussion

paper oriole
#

seems to you that the only way a discussion can be considered civil is if everybody agrees with you

lunar finch
#

You disagree with me? Fine, but don't sit there and think I want things easy.

lilac swallow
#

ignorant children
Me: a Guy in its twenties tha has been playing since release

viral creek
#

Mocking =/= Explaining.

blazing charm
#

I had run off for a few, what did I miss-

#

oh god

cyan flame
#

Well, I don't know if someone else said something less pleasant, but I personally think the shant is sufficiently big and powerful to be able to solo another apex, it's certainly not a thing any solo apex should approach unless desperate/have a very clear ambush, and even then, it'd probably be a hit/run with bleed giga style rather than "tanking" it as a rex. Especially when bonebreak will be more locational and probably way more difficult, than just biting and hoping for the best.. :p

lilac swallow
#

I totally agree with you that shantu is way too overpowered but incant agree on "should RELY on group"

#

Shantu is basically a diplodocus without neck and tail

viral creek
#

People aren't arguing that shant dosen't need change. People are annoyed because of this statement:
"I'd still say they aren't in a good spot. Really the biggest point of being a Herbi is that you are somewhat defenseless on your own. You need to rely on your speed or numbers to survive. A Herbi shouldn't be taking on an Apex predator. Or at least; Something like a Shant simply doesn't look like it would effectively fight Apex like it does."

paper oriole
#

shant is very high risk and high reward and should only be hunted by a group, but they shouldnt be able to chase people

coarse shell
#

well yeah

#

people are gonna be pissed because it's making out herbis to be defenseless while solo

lilac swallow
#

If my fucking utah can live solo nothing should rely on group

coarse shell
#

if shant cant run it should be able to defend itself decently

#

just saying

paper oriole
#

if you make all herbi apexes soloable then a fuckin dryo will be more viable to play than a trike

#

because at least a dryo can escape, only thing herbis should be able to do right?

lilac swallow
#

Dryo is actually more viable solo than trike currently

paper oriole
#

oh yeah because trike can get killed by a bored giga and have no way to get away

lilac swallow
#

At least dryo even if screwed by utahs can hide on a bush or in the burrow

paper oriole
#

basically

viral creek
#

I think they get the idea.

barren zephyr
#

@lunar finch

#

you gotta realize

#

thats a bullshit way to force herbivores in herds.

#

Shant is a really massive hadrosaur

#

sauropod sized

#

it should EASILY destroy any apex head on

#

herbivores should be both viable on solo and herds

#

Making them herd dependant is bad

pulsar lake
#

Shant is broken because his turn radius

lunar finch
#

Because it's fat? it weights a lot? That should NEVER beat an Apex Predator with massive rows of teeth that can bite the neck.

pulsar lake
#

It souldn't turn like that

barren zephyr
#

..

lilac swallow
#

As i said before im my pathetically weak utah can live solo, everything should do

barren zephyr
#

You are sololy underestimating hadrosaurs

indigo sun
#

Tell me, if i drop a truck on you are you just gonna be fine?

paper oriole
#

well when locational is added have fun biting a shant neck

pulsar lake
#

Yeah

paper oriole
#

until then enjoy getting your skull caved in by 12 tons of force

barren zephyr
#

A shantungosaurus is gonna do tons of damage with a stomp on a 6 ton theropod.

pulsar lake
#

But shant turn is too good with his speed

lunar finch
#

@indigo sun Yes, If I'm massive myself

pulsar lake
#

How shant do his stomp he should break his arms.

paper oriole
#

like half the size of a shant

lilac swallow
#

Shant is almost camarasaurus sized, and brute force cant defeat more brute force, you gotta weaken It before

cyan flame
#

But the apexes aren't that massive, shantus are huge

indigo sun
#

Mkay. Please provide proof of someone dropping a truck on you

barren zephyr
#

Stop underestimating hadrosaurs

lunar finch
#

Everyone's logic: Shant has little legs, but must be strong cuz fat

barren zephyr
#

a single shant would easily destroy a rex or a giga

cyan flame
#

Just compare the ingame size, if we go by that, the shant is pretty big..

paper oriole
#

get a pack and you'll kill a shant if you aren't an idiot that tries to facetank

cyan flame
#

No Teddy, you're just focused on the animation

#

Not seeing the attack power for itself

#

Imagine it as a fullbody tackle or something

pulsar lake
#

I don't think "Destroy" but have a good chance.

cyan flame
#

This is a huge, heavy, thing, coming running at you with full speed, it will hurt a lot

lilac swallow
#

Shant is to Rex like Rex is to allo, you see allo "easily defeating" a Rex with its Sharp teeth?

paper oriole
#

"i am ignorant and have completely missed any points brought against me" ~Sgtteddybear

lilac swallow
#

Shant stomp is basically shant falling on your spinal column, its gonna hurt

cyan flame
#

Seems like it, you've failed to provide any actual arguments Teddy, except that Shant is too powerful, which some agree on, others do not,and thats about it.

pulsar lake
#

The only thinh I don't like with the shant is his turn radius with his speed. It should not turn like that.

paper oriole
#

this is like the guy that complained that diablo needed a nerf because his utah got wrecked by one after he attacked it

pulsar lake
#

But more in running

lilac swallow
#

Shant is indeed op, but It doesnt matter as is a sandbox dino. What i cant stand is the "should be defenceless solo"

pulsar lake
#

Running turn is an horror with his speed and damage

lilac swallow
#

I remember that @paper oriole

lunar finch
#

The reason I'm calling you all ignorant is because you result to insulting rather than having meaningful discussion. It's a joke really.

cyan flame
#

Shant might be too powerful, but I'm not sure it should be soloable by a single rex/giga, unless over massive time and with extreme effort

#

Except none of us have insulted you Teddy

lunar finch
#

But then you get mad when I insult you? No shit

cyan flame
#

I'm just trying to point out that you're making an argument based on the attack anim, rather than the stats of the critter

viral creek
#

I just scrolled up again

lunar finch
#

You are all belittling me, even though I am absolutely right

lilac swallow
#

Insulting? When? I dont remember calling you a child like you dids to us

viral creek
#

I have yet to see any insults.

lunar finch
paper oriole
#

see this is your problem is you are stuck thinking your opinion is the only one that is valid

cyan flame
#

Yes, if it does get that specific hit with locational

viral creek
#

If you post a suggestion, you are bound to be criticized.

paper oriole
#

and this is why people are "belittling" you

cyan flame
#

And you know what Teddy, imagine what would happen if that shant ran at the rex

#

Head down and just charging?

lilac swallow
#

Yeah because shant is gonna let the Rex do that

cyan flame
#

You think that would end well for the rex?

jovial saddle
#

It takes 19 bites for rex to kill a shant

cyan flame
#

Yes, a rex or giga could come out from ambush and hit it from the side, biting down on the neck, that's perfectly viable. It's equally viable for a shant to "stomp", or just charge down that rex if it sees it coming. But now we're talking specific attack patterns

jovial saddle
#

Thing is

paper oriole
#

i'm imagining you are just a salty rex player who walked up to a shant trying to bite it and got flattened because you think you should be able to just munch anything with no resistance

jovial saddle
#

Shant is almost sauropod when it comes to hp

#

What beats sauropods

#

Gigas

cyan flame
#

Currently a rex that does break the leg of a shant can then assride it so.. :p

jovial saddle
#

That’s another thing

#

So shant is really as broken as people think it is

lilac swallow
#

Shant is even realistically almost a sauropod in size

cyan flame
#

Yep Quicks, I imagine gigas would be better suited to hunting shants than rexes, over time, and even so I'd not try one giga vs one shant, but probably a pair or more

#

Then again, we don't know how well locational damage will work, but you can't bank on the shant just being oblivious enough to let you get that neckbite in :p

jovial saddle
#

Bigger than some Camarasaurs

lilac swallow
#

As i said before you cant beat brute force (shant) with less brute force(Rex) you should weaken It first(giga's bleed)

barren zephyr
#

did you notice

#

taht thye stopped talking

#

they stopped*

paper oriole
#

guys i think pue is too op a rex could easily jump up and bite its neck and oneshot it

gritty helm
#

lol

cyan flame
#

Well, maybe when it's drinking? :p

lilac swallow
#

I know you are joking but honestly, talking about people who say puerta is op. Do something can be op if you can just trot away from It?

paper oriole
#

"just walk away" "NOOOO"

lilac swallow
#

"but is a fighting game when running away isnt an option, oh wait"

barren zephyr
#

plus seeing hwo big it is..

#

it must be a 80 ton sauropod..

#

it should actually really one shot about anything with its stomp.

lilac swallow
#

Our puerta is twice a real puerta, but even then, if It cant catch you, why even care about it's strength?

barren zephyr
#

Exactly

#

Counterplay is running

cyan flame
#

But running is cowardly.. :p

barren zephyr
#

its not when its against a 80 ton sauropod capable of 1 shotting you

#

with any of its moves.

#

its smart

#

and actually good of a move

cyan flame
#

xD

#

Cowards do live.. :p

barren zephyr
#

people just love fighting stuff much stronger than themand when they die they whine i ts "Op"

lilac swallow
#

I as an utah player never fought something bigger than a carno, why? Because It Will get me killed and i could perfectly run away. Here we are talking about more than half of the roster being stronger than utah, but when your Dino who is in the top 3 of strength has to run away from a single one dino (not half the dinos like an utah needs to) "is op"

paper oriole
#

i always pick on big shit that i shouldn't, dying is just a part of the game lol if it's bigger than you be prepared to start your growth over or leave it alone

lilac swallow
#

I would rather live, but if you fight something stronger and if It kills you at least recognize It was your fault for engaging and dont come crying because the other was "op" like many people do. Not saying you are one of those cryiers im just saying in general

night mountain
#

lmao whad i miss

#

oh i see

#

sorry apex carnivores aren't invincible edge machines

#

An easy solution is to just not pick on things you know can kill you

latent cave
#

In real life a rex would probably not mess with a shant, though ironically smaller more nimble dino like raptor would pose some what of a threat or at least have more to gain from attacking a shant, shants bodies make them unable to roll over and hard to stand back up should they be knocked over, additionally their skeleton suggests lack the flexibility to reach things on their back or sides very easily. A raptor could latch on to them and their is little they could do other then run in to things in an attempt to knock them off. Additionally raptors would not have to go for a kill but could just rip out chucks to eat, injuring the shant but not killing them, though leaving their victim susceptible to infection or blood loss should the injuries be bad enough. Larger raptors may also be able to rib open their neck to kill them or if in packs just cause enough damage to eventuly kill them through bloodloss, even if it got away it would be left weak and highly susceptible to another attack in the future

night mountain
#

I seriously doubt any raptor would attack something like a shant ever. That's like how a hippo can't do much about a leopard on it's back but like...why would it want to get in that fight?

wintry cipher
#

looks at the fact my pack regularly hunts rexes i dont think the size really matters

#

also

#

when utah had pounce, all it could pounce was shant and cama

#

and it was some of the best fun in the game at the time

latent cave
#

... why a leopard would not attack a hippo... they dont like in the same environments....

night mountain
#

Yes they do. Wat

wintry cipher
#

leopards have been known to attack and kill crocs. i think its the fact hippos are not capable of being pinned/killed with their bite to the back of the head unless its a calf is why they dont go after them

night mountain
#

oh yeah in game pounce could work for all kinds of shenanigans maybe

wintry cipher
#

like, irl leopard depends on crushing the back of the skull of its prey to kill it. utah here would try and rip into the ribcage/bleed their target out or puncture a lung. very diff hunting tactics.

#

wolves try and drag their prey to the ground by biting onto their legs or out-enduring them

#

which i can see utah trying if pouncing slows prey down

night mountain
#

I mean, wolves wouldn't attack a hippo either, neither do wild dogs who also live with them and hunt the same way. my point was just that animals usually make a point of not attacking things that can just instantly kill or maim them with little to no effort

latent cave
#

Hippos are also a hard target as they are able to roll to crush smaller attackers, and can bite any animals they can fit in their giant mouth in half

night mountain
#

roll

#

lolwat

latent cave
#

A shant could not roll or it would break its spine

night mountain
#

a hippo can't roll over either, so same thing

latent cave
#

They can on their sides but not compleatly over

#

Similar to elephants who are able to roll on to their side

night mountain
#

well yeah, but that's just them laying down.

latent cave
#

If a sant was on uts side it would be very hard to get up, leaving tons of weak spots open to attack

#

So if a shant crushed a utah on its side by rolling on it its pack would kill them

night mountain
#

yeah, but I don't see why it'd lay down while being attacked? I wasn't saying shant would roll over and kill them lol

latent cave
#

Its only other method vs raptors latching on would ve to run in to stuff hurting its self in the process

#

And as stated before the raptors would not be going directly for a kill but rather to rib out chunks and wound it

night mountain
#

By that logic raptors could kill absolutely any dinosaur with zero problems. Even a Rex or something wouldn't have any easier of a time getting something off its side.

#

they could just scrape them off, they don't need to smash into rocks as hard as they physically can

#

Not to mention (iirc) group hunting being only theoretical and utahs using their jaws more than other raptors

latent cave
#

? How so the rex such tactics would only work well vs things like ceratops, long necks and larger hadrosaurs. Who have large inflexible bodies that are easy to grab hold on to

night mountain
#

Rex also has a large inflexible body.

latent cave
#

Its raptor would need to jump on a rex from able to actuly make it on to an area where it can safly attack

#

And the rex has to be unaware

night mountain
#

Again, same for shant, I don't really get your point here. Anything from a rex would be fatal. Anything from a shant would also be fatal

#

if anything shant has the longer neck so it'd honestly probably have an easier time of it. Attacking either would be a terrible idea though and they wouldn't try it to begin with

latent cave
#

Not same for a shant, if a raptor jumped on a rexs thigh it could pick it off, and the speed of a moving rexs leg would not be east to hold on to, meanwhile a shant could not do much of a raptor was on its back legs

night mountain
#

It could just pick it off like a rex would. You realize herbivores can still bite, right?

#

It wouldn't even NEED to bite, hitting it with the head at all would wreck it

latent cave
#

It cant reach

night mountain
#

But rex can? lol You might want to look at their anatomy again

latent cave
#

I super take it back...

#

Anywhrre along the side of a shant is good

night mountain
latent cave
#

I fail to see how that makes any point towards how a shant could defend its self

night mountain
#

It's a point about how rex physically wasn't capable of doing what you're talking about

latent cave
#

And also compleatly ignoring mt point that their leg design and method of locomotion makes it nearly immpossible to actuly grip on to its legs.

night mountain
#

How? Shant was more flexible as far as I know. Are rexs legs covered in teflon or metal or something making them ungrippable?

#

either way there's no evidence utah hunted anything especially large, or even that it was a pack hunter at all so it's all sorta a moot point either way

#

also i totally thought we were in paleotalk OOPS

latent cave
#

-_- no arrmor required look ar how an emu runs vs how and elipant runs, in order to hold on to a rexs leg required them to resist more forces trying to throw them off well also have worse grip

night mountain
#

i moved to paleotalk so mods wont get mad lol

night mountain
#

pounce is a thing the devs are making happen

finite perch
#

@minor dome this is planned! eating the same plant will make your colors yucky, eating special plants might change your colors as well

But psitta is normal, it's so small and in general you eat it in 2 or 3 bite exept apexs

lethal wren
#

Not really. Oro didn't stay longer to me.

#

I think that's just me.

barren zephyr
#

@ocean vortex no

#

it actually kinda makes the game hardish

#

which is the point of the game

#

but it isnt hard

#

but brings the challenge

ocean vortex
#

depends what hard we're talking about

#

challenging, or just plain out annoying

barren zephyr
#

as a herbivore i enjoy when rains start

#

because that means a carnivore cant smell me out

ocean vortex
#

and rain for me and other people have always been annoyed as juvie herbie

#

well, especially when it's nighttime and it rains

barren zephyr
#

its both good and bad

ocean vortex
#

you can't find anything to eat

barren zephyr
#

good because carnis cant track you down

#

cant smell food

ocean vortex
#

it purges herbie juvies all over the map

#

you'll die anyways

#

high chance

#

I don't care if carnivores will track me or not

#

the rain has a higher chance of starve killing me

#

I'd prefer carnis over nighttime rain

barren zephyr
#

You can live off the starvation when the rain stops

#

which isnt TOO long

ocean vortex
#

you can't

barren zephyr
#

smell again and look for the bush

ocean vortex
#

I've gone through a 2 hour storm once

barren zephyr
#

Holy shit

ocean vortex
#

max storm duration is 4 hours

barren zephyr
#

okay i see your point

indigo sun
#

How long is a whole day in game

ocean vortex
#

30 minutes

#

the storm I went through expanded over 2 days and 2 nights

indigo sun
#

Limit the rain to half of a day-night cycle. Can only last 30 minutes then

barren zephyr
#

Good idea! @pliant ember

pliant ember
barren zephyr

I love that suggestion

#

Please i hope its actually considered

pliant ember
#

Would make everyone's life easier

barren zephyr
#

how is rain a death sentence? it helps against trackers

prisma lily
#

as an herbi, you can still find bushes in the rain...? you can hear a different sound when you walk into an edible bush and they also look different, simply target the bushes with berry spots on them.

#

the long rainstorms actually help me a ton when playing herbivore, it prevents tracking as stated and also cushions the sound of me moving.

bitter trench
#

For herbivores when it rains and you're in a barren area, or it's night, it's usually much harder to find food without sniffing, and if you're starving it can be a death sentence.

#

Juvies are much more prone to being affected by rain because they're slow, sandbox dinos that can't sniff usually can go a long time without food and are faster, oros die much quicker if you're on a server where you can play as one.

barren zephyr
#

for herbivores maybe

bitter trench
#

For carnivores, it's harder to track. Usually not a death sentence

#

I would still like it to rain quite a bit, but I don't want it to rain for 3 hours

viral creek
#

Rain usually dosen't last that long.

#

I think you're overreacting.

#

Even if it were, rain has saved my butt multiple times, by hiding my scent from predators, especially when I'm bleeding.

Ah true

#

Not sure if I'd call argent, the apex predator of the skies though,.

#

Quetz was a huge boi

ocean vortex

argent is around 40 kg

maybe even 60 kg

#

nothing near quetz though

#

also, considering birds are reptiles... yeah... argent is technically a reptile

I love the whole “Dino idea”
Posts oversized vulture

it's more of a condor

but meh

Implying vultures aren’t neat. dondiSquint

indigo sun
#

Same difference

ocean vortex
#

not really

#

anyways

barren zephyr
#

NO to Birds! i they always attack me for no reason irl now ingame too? ugh

indigo sun
#

Its not even a dinosaur anyway. "Another flying dino idea" when its just a condor

viral creek
#

Also argent isn't much larger than ptera.

#

He's not gonna be fucking up any utahs.

ocean vortex
#

argent is bulkier than ptera

viral creek
#

Bulkier, but not much larger.

#

Utah could mess up that thing.

ocean vortex
#

anyways

#

I don't care if it's a "dinosaur"

#

it came from the ice age

#

so, no.

#

no mammoths, no terror birds, no woolly rhinos, and no argentavis

#

no fricking ice age animals

Can I have my permian animals? dondiThink

the only exception to the mesozoic animals of TI is the Titanoboa

argentavis isnt a dinosaur though

barren zephyr
#

Hatzegopteryx: AM I a joke to you? @jovial saddle

#

I agree with ye

umbral prairie
#

I thought hatz was smaller

#

but beefier

barren zephyr
#

thefore bigger

#

Its shorter

indigo sun
#

it is. it's shorter with a giant head

barren zephyr
#

Its shorter but more m assive

#

pretty sure its head is larger than quetzals

jovial saddle
#

Ambourgaia is bigger and taller than both lol

barren zephyr
#

not really

#

Its just taller

#

Hatzegopteryx is larger in mass

jovial saddle
#

But back on topic, I would like Argentavis being added

#

Who what where wHy

umbral prairie
#

I don't know about argentavis

#

sure, it's technically a dinosaur

#

but I don't think it would really fit with the rest

jovial saddle
#

I would like it better as AI

ocean vortex
#

argentavis is a dinosaur

#

because it's a bird

#

however, TI favors raw dinos

#

raw like tyrannosaurs and triceratops

lilac swallow
#

Basically the isle is about dinosaurs that arent birds

pliant ember
#

seagulls

#

There's a bird

night mountain
#

At least we got pelagornis

#

my perfect child

compact coyote
#

now pelagornis is interesting tbh

#

especially in how it might work ingame

night mountain
#

I really want my frigatebird suggestion for them

#

thats 100% the most fun option

compact coyote
#

heres the problem with that suggestion

#

pelagornis would require another creature to have its gimmick be useful/get 100% our of its playstyle

#

if there arent any pteras flying around, well, then what?

night mountain
#

then you just eat fish or whatever

compact coyote
#

then dont make that as its gimmick because if it had something more useful people will do stuff like that anyways

night mountain
#

it'll proooobably be ai though so i'd assume it'll just not spawn or kinda fly around

compact coyote
#

im thinking pelagornis wont be ai just because it would have a different flight model to ptera and thus a different playstyle to it

night mountain
#

lol make it able to swoop attack stuff and go bleed, then you just harass everyone who has a kill in the open off of it

#

yeah id LOVE for it to not be ai

#

just being a flying bleeder would be pretty fun

compact coyote
#

but pretty much cancer to everything else

#

think about it from an external point of view

#

there would be literally nothing stopping, hell even a good 10-20 pelas from mobbing the shit out of everything and do bleed

#

it would be like a dilo megapack but even more annoying as you can do very little to deter them

night mountain
#

Theres a ton stopping them, they'd be crazy easy to get away from

#

all you'd need to do is go under or near trees at all

viral creek
#

I don't even know if pelegornis has been touched, or mentioned outside that file.

night mountain
#

Same :((

#

but it being there has gotta mean SOMETHING

#

i feel like maybe its like the catfish or other fish mentioned in that file and will just be like, new ai for the new map maybe? idk though

Instead of Argentavis just have some vulture

#

I could see fallen trees crossing small ravines like the one on thenyaw

#

def not the main canyon on v3 tho

#

granted I assume that's not the one you were refering to

paper oriole
#

they could add or move one of the bridges on v3 to make a canyon crossing maybe

night mountain
#

Oh yeah I wasn't referring to any specific canyons, more the new map

would be cool to have a run down human bridge

#

that anything could cross

night mountain
#

oooh yeah

#

lmao a rope bridge that just snaps if anything not tiny walks on it

earnest blade
#

nah

#

a metal bridge

#

if the bridge self destructed it would have to either fix itself or wait until the server reset

paper oriole
#

a bridge with a buncha holes n shit that raptors/dryos/galis etc can leap over but the fatasses will get stuck lol

#

or broken parts with the metal support beams still there you can try to creep across

vestal rune
#

@loud vine though that possibly would be cool, mercs won't be hunting dinosaurs and will instead be getting food from supply drops. As such, a dedicated system like that would probably not be worth adding in a game where it won't provide the largest benefit

prisma lily
#

i mean, look at the tiny bridge to the boat at uhhh... i keep mixing it up with cargo or docks, but the one area with the boats

#

and large dinos can carefully walk across onto the ship

lament thorn
#

also Mercs wont be eating the dinos

loud vine
#

i mean

#

they could

#

if they had to

lament thorn
#

no don legit said they would regret it if they did

so I think only other dinos/tribals have the stomach for whatever is wrong with the meat

loud vine
#

i havent watched any steams or anythin for a good month so im damn sorry

lament thorn
#

dont worry its fine

#

it was just someone quick he said so it was easily missable

loud vine
#

I mean they could use my suggestion for if they needed bones or hide from dinos

vestal rune
#

ye they'll be getting food from supply drops

#

I highly doubt they'll be getting any resources directly from killing dinosaurs

#

as you want to minimize dino deaths thanks to humans since they have insta kill weapons

#

guns will be for deterant and protection, not for killing

loud vine

it is a neat system tho, if it could be implemented in another game

it could potentially be more useful if you could somehow integrate it into tribals

I think tribals will be eating dinos because humans and other tribals might be harder to come across

so not a very reliable food source

hey any admin, could u guys possibly add a /die command.. really annoying when i wanna change dino but never able to get myself killed.

#

@short bone that exists

there are alien dragons tho

isnt that generally for admins tho- yeah

vestal rune

ye, if you don't use it on anyone and just say it then it will kill you

coarse shell
#

a suicide command for players in general would be very exploitable

vestal rune
#

they said "commands"

#

I took it as admin

short bone
#

when suicide ur body disapear then

brittle bough
#

how could it be exploited?

#

thatd be even more exploitable, being hunted and just spite suicide

lament thorn
#

feeding friends?

#

or yourself

coarse shell
#

suicide in water to deny food

vestal rune
#

you could die in some fuckoff place and have your predator be unable to get your corpse

brittle bough
#

the servers i play have rules against body denial so eh

#

and you can die in water or by your friends in more manual ways lol

#

and given random spawns, dying just to eat yourself seems dubiously viable, and is something you can do anyway if you launch off of a cliff

vestal rune
#

base game needs to have ways of preventing abuse without admins

#

as once the game is released, official servers will need to be able to run with the only admin care is dealing with hackers

brittle bough
#

perhaps make the command only work on certain terrains, a la nests, so you cant die up on an object or at an obtuse cliff

night mountain
#

I don't see how it'd be exploitable at all

#

Like sure you could do it in water but also you can still just go in water and wait and die anyway so the die command isn't causing anything unique

brittle bough
#

exactly

#

the only thing i could see is something agile, e.g. utah, being hunted and going up onto a rock and suiciding out of spite
but refer to: just have it work on certain terrains to solve that

night mountain
#

I mean, utahs can do that anyway

#

you can just hop on a rock and refuse to get down and die

#

or log, or lots of other things

brittle bough
#

aye

stray cloak
#

Considering things like falling into a human structure can leave you waiting an hour+ to starve/dehydrate to death, a /die would be useful

#

Allosaurus never had a weaker bite than a lion wtf

#

And looking at the allo bite animation, I’d say it’s shoving its upper jaw downwards

#

Not entirely like an axe but somewhat similar

pure copper
#

The hatchet-axe bite idea was one hypothesis for a time but isn’t really widely subscribed to and heavily scrutinized by paleontologists due to being rather nonsensical and unnecessary for the animal based on what we now know of its skull biomechanics. It’s bite certainly wasn’t weaker than a lions but it did have a relatively lower degree of jaw muscle attachments than other theropods and thus a lesser bite force. Though this isn’t really an issue when you have a strong set of jaws full of serrated teeth made for slashing and tearing

tepid light
#

@coarse shell iirc they made it that way because changing your settings in game made the game prone to crash

coarse shell

ah ok

Who knows when the isle is coming out for mac

velvet tulip
#

I'll check, hold on

#

Ok the answer is no, Macs are too weak to run the isle.

barren zephyr
#

Great

#

But they might develop it for mac

neat flicker
#

A mac would almost never be able to run the isle unless they made a bush a 2 sided poly and made the dinosaurs extremely low poly aka blocky. Macs aren't meant for gaming, so they wouldn't redo everything in the isle for a mac user to be able to play it.

tepid light

Mac used to be able to play The Isle, they dropped support for mac because of an issue with UE4 and the MacOs iirc

Oh joy another "buff giga because rex" suggestion

pulsar lake
#

Giga is a prey of rex

#

And giga can fuck a Rex in 1v1 in ambush

#

And he can large escape at a Rex couple. I've done it a lot of times.

#

But I see so many people ask for progression back :-:

#

I don't understand why

valid zephyr
#

because it is a game mode which makes apexes tougher to get, so you see more smaller tiers and less apexes

#

rather than the entire playerbase running round as rexes

barren zephyr
#

BUFF GIGA CAUSE REX XDDDDD

floral plover
#

@fleet surge Giga is really strong as is, it doesn't need a speed buff, that would basically just make it a weaker theri with a ton of bleed.

#

When suggest something u should know what to suggest, u should test the creature against every other creature, u give it a speed buff, it will catch up to Para and be able to kill Trikes more easily.

#

U give it a speed buff, u also give it an ambush buff, which catches up to Maias, Allos, Suchos, Utahs, Dilos.

Not to mention currently giga can scape rex due to Rex shitty stam

He have no bleed resistance

If he have bleed resistance it will be good

He just melt to bleed.
One dilo bite kill it and Utah need of one or two

They can face tank and go out of pachy

Is basically like trike, is not really bad but there are 2 dinos that invalidate them

But as pachy I've killed Utah and dilo but as dilo I've killed so easily them

Yeah trike is bad

#

Thursday I've killed one as Rex in face tank.

It shouldn't be possible

#

Utah just have to face tank 2 hits of the pachy and then use its superior speed to bleed out pachh

I want reparted damage and a type of armor for some dinosaurs like trike head, pachy head and ankylo back.

Your bleed heal is fricking ridiculously BAD, even if you sit, you'll reach 4th screen before your bleed heals.

paper oriole
#

I have an easier time killing utah and dilo with a galli than a pachy when pachy has longer growth, poor boi needs a real bleed res+heal buff

wintry cipher
#

@velvet tulip in regards to friendly fire; that would eliminate any skill at all in hunting as a pack. I'm a part of one of the most successful Utah packs and we train hard to be able to perform around a dozen bites in quick succsession without hitting each other. You have to learn how to do this very precisely and it's such a rewarding feeling when you know your pack works better together than others because you are more skilled and you worked hard for that skill.

If the prey "gets away" you can either track it by blood or you just don't get the kill. Happens when we hunt rexes all the time.

Overall, if there was any sort of friendly fire system added, it would be a slap to the face of those who actually practiced and got good at working as a group. Quality over quantity. Instead, friendly fire nullification only encourages really bad habits in old and new players and removes skill in group combat entirely. Getting multiples rexes or trikes or allos, etc to bite each other for example would no longer happen, and give you a chance of beating them.

"It's just hard to coordinate" is also not a very good reason to add friendly fire. You get what you put into this game. If you practice on death match servers that are empty with just your packmates, you can learn an awful lot without the risk of dying like in survival.
It's as simple as calling your hits, and then figuring out who your "strikers" and "distracters" are. Everyone can do something in a pack fight even if they don't directly fight. Your prey does not know what you do about your pack. Use that against them.

@lethal wren That sounds like the ultimate food denial grief

#

"Oh hey, I'm being hunted. Might aswell just vanish so they get nothing out of it"

lethal wren
#

I said when you kill yourself. It don't drop a Body.

lament thorn
#

yeh

blazing charm
#

Yeah, exactly.

lament thorn
#

so what happens if you are being hunted?

#

just poof

blazing charm
#

lethal wren
#

Will that maybe will not make sense, but Hunting mechanic.

blazing charm
#

...Pardon?

barren zephyr
#

🤨

lethal wren
#

I know.

lament thorn
#

excuse me?

lethal wren
#

That's going to be a hole New discussion.

indigo sun
#

I believe theyre asking you to clarify your previous sentence as it doesnt seem to make much sense

lethal wren
#

Okay then.

#

When there Is a Carnivore near you, you can't suicide yourself. If you In a Group Invite will you can suicide.

blazing charm
#

Mind giving an example of "near"

lethal wren
#

Okay.

blazing charm
#

Meters? Kilometeres?

north hemlock
#

why cant it just have a timer like safe logging and then drop ur deadass body or something.

lilac swallow
#

Simply give a body, why is that cheating?

indigo sun
#

No one's killing themselves for food anymore

#

Well, no one with less than $20 to spend freely

lethal wren
#

When there's a Rex near you, like a Twin lake Size, you can't suicide your self.

lament thorn
#

with a suicide option people could just go and feed their starving juvie friends with their herbivores

north hemlock
#

thats dumb

#

just drop a body with a timer for the command

#

nothing broken/op about that

#

👏

#

who cares if people abuse it

#

people abuse everything

lethal wren
#

What the heck are you saying.

blazing charm
#

twin lake size
Okay, think we could try again but with actual measurements of distance?

lilac swallow
#

The "starving juvie friend" can just kill you

indigo sun
#

I dont see a reason for it to not leave a body. And enabling that sort of limit seems very complicated when you could just as easily use a timer

compact coyote
#

people abuse everything but that doesnt mean you give them more things to abuse

lethal wren
#

If you don't have a Friend.

#

Like me.

lament thorn
#

last time i checked juvies had a difficult time killing adult anything

compact coyote
#

that sounds like a you problem tbh

lilac swallow
#

Last time i checked was impossible to starve as juvie

indigo sun
#

Higher population servers tend to have issues with ai though

#

So people starve more

lament thorn
#

I just dont see whats wrong with using a nice cliff or a pond

lethal wren
#

If It was too far.

north hemlock
#

sometimes there isnt anything like that nearby

indigo sun
#

Regardless, i dont see a reason to not leave a body. Put a time limit on it so people cant fuckin suicide all over the place and crash the server with their bodies

north hemlock
#

^

lethal wren
#

Will okay.

#

You advanced.

north hemlock
#

wat

indigo sun
#

?

lament thorn
#

theres gonna be a lot of suicides in the less desirable spawn points

north hemlock
#

that problem would be fixed if we could just choose where we want to spawn out of all the spawnpoints

#

😔

#

but people think everything is OVeRpOWeRed or bROkEN

#

when it isnt

indigo sun
#

Could also be fixed with no beach spawns cause those are trash

north hemlock
#

they really ae

#

are

#

fuc k

lethal wren
#

I was just saying that People see how that's going to work.

#

Sorry If my English was bad.

north hemlock
#

👌

lethal wren
#

So, I guess you Guys did get It, or Is It just a Silly, Trash, dumb Suggestion?

indigo sun
#

A suicide thing could be an option, but it should leave a body and not be limited by whoever is near you. Use a time limit that goes up with each suicide you use in a play session so it cant be horribly abused and people are encouraged to go from wherever they spawned in instead of suiciding for a better one. But also remove beach spawns altogether

lethal wren
#

You can put that In the Suggestions instead of mine.

lilac swallow
#

That and the inhability of suiciding when something is near is basically a radar of predators

lethal wren
#

If you want to die.

lilac swallow
#

If you dont want you could "oh i will look if the game let me suicide, oh It doesnt this means there is something close"

lethal wren
#

I'm still want to say the Idea. Butt I don't know how I say It.

#

If you want to lose your Dino.

#

But that maybe could be a Small distance.

#

I still don't know why People still thinking about Negative thing so they said oh, "this Is Bullshit."

#

Think In the Between.

#

Better then think In One thing.

lilac swallow
#

But if i dont want to lose my Dino i still can see if the game let me suicide or not

lethal wren
#

Yeah, but the Map Is so Big.

#

So you got a Big Chance to die.

#

I don't want to say that my Idea Is the best or the something like that.

#

It's still has some Negative and Positive.

#

Oh yeah, and there will be something In the Server that can you enable the Sacrifice.

#

See. There's a lot of Ideas In One Suggestion.

barren zephyr
#

@oblique hearth why do you suggest that my fine sir?

oblique hearth
#

why not

lethal wren
#

The Imagination.

lilac swallow
#

Why yes?

lethal wren
#

I don't know why, but Imagination.

indigo sun
#

Theres no reason for carnivores to mixpack

lethal wren
#

That's going to break the Laws of the Game.

indigo sun
#

Dilos and utahs both have their own strengths and weaknesses and have no reason to group together

lethal wren
#

They are different Species too.

#

Or Type?

indigo sun
#

Different species altogehter

prisma lily
#

utahs and dilos make for great combat against eachother, having them coordinate would bust a ton of intended gameplay, and carnivore mixpacking is really difficult to compete against too, as can be seen on servers that have allowed it.

indigo sun
#

*altogether

prisma lily
#

cuz carnivore dinos are created with the intention of working alright solo or only with their own species.

blazing charm
#

Okay, down for agreeing to disagree, but

#

Please dear god no, anything but progression.

indigo sun
#

Progression's dead and gone. Just wait for mods to come in

#

Itll come back

prisma lily
#

adjusted progression without the complete wipe upon death and less weird advancement requirements would be fun...

lament thorn
#

just be patient

viral creek
#

I know a person in particular who wants to bring back a modified version of progression via dev kit.

lilac swallow
#

I didnt like to play an Austro if i wanted to play utah, that and when i progreses i couldnt keep my pack

last remnant
#

Isn't that the only way it's coming back?

#

I thought the devs said that at some point.

#

Like, it'll be a mod.

indigo sun
#

Yeah. Theyve abandoned progression in favor of survival so mods are its only hope

pulsar lake
#

Ik progression is harder and have an objective but in survival you do the dinosaur you want directly but you need to grow.
After it will need of old model, or curent ones, and another type of balance. Or we can have a system with progression in survival like you start utah, you need to grow and play 240 minutes to be Allo and on Allo you need 480 minutes to be Rex like before.
These times are old official progression point.

pulsar lake
#

Oh @fleet surge ! With what I've have done I was thinking to you with your suggestion!
So I was a Rex and I meet a giga, what have do the giga? He walk away because he have a better trot than me!

barren zephyr
#

@glossy tangle It wouldnt be able to.

#

without getting stabbed

#

Triceratops had a really strong head and neck

#

i doubt a rex can hold it

#

and even so

#

dont give rex too much advantages over trike it already has.

teal grotto
#

@barren zephyr Rex has a huge advantage already lol

barren zephyr
#

exactly

#

thats my point

#

@teal grotto

#

@teal grotto But sub juve giga are already

#

way stronger

#

than sub juve rex.

#

making them faster would mean juve and sub rex to be completely worthless in comparison.

#

Its slower for that exact reason

#

if adult giga is overpowered

#

atleast let the young stages suffer

teal grotto
#

@barren zephyr lol yeeeet rexes are better in every other way?

barren zephyr
#

No way in hell

#

sub rex is way less tankier

#

sub giga is strong

teal grotto
#

That's not what most people are talking about lol

barren zephyr
#

adult giga is better than adult rex in almost every wya already

#

way*

#

atleast the young stages are for the rex

barren zephyr
#

sub giga is pretty strong already @teal grotto

#

and dont even say that only 100% sub giga is strong cause thats just visual and dondi confirmed it

#

also juvie giga should stay the way it is

#

all juvies are trash anyway so buffing an apex juvie isn't logical

grand brook
#

@marble cove the point should be that those 6 hours are an actual challenge and you need to move around and do stuff rather than waiting in a bush afking only eating ai, reducing times would only make apexes more numerous that they already are

limpid dove
#

rex, giga and trike should take 8 hours. change my mind. if you want a challenge, it should take longer to grow. this will mean that you'll be an easy target for a longer amount of time until you hit full growth

mental sleet
#

wrong

#

if you want a challenge you can have one and not need 8 hours to grow

limpid dove
#

not wrong. all you need are a couple of adults, the right location and you can just sit there all day afk growing like everyone else does

#

everything will be fixed with affinity.

mental sleet
#

right now, absolutely.

#

but in the future, no.

#

8 hours is horrendous

limpid dove
#

im hoping that if people just sit there for the entirety of their growth, it'll take a long longer. maybe it can go from 6 to 8 hours or something, but if you're actually exploring it can be shorter/base

indigo sun
#

There's gonna be things to stop afk growth in the future, including ai not spawning in your mouth so they have to actively search for food

marble cove
#

thats why i said it could be an option

paper oriole
#

#BuffTrike

limpid dove
#

yes

#

if youre gonna hunt trike theres going to be severe consequences

night mountain
#

shrink sucho

#

why tho

indigo sun
#

also "add subadult"

#

sucho's a fuckin mid tier it doesnt need a growth stage for apexes

lilac swallow
#

"Shrink sucho"
first, why? Seriously whats the motive Second, is already shrinked, you think shrinking It more makes sense?

paper oriole
#

why does it need a sub stage it isnt an apex

#

sucho is fine

lilac swallow
#

Specially if they were to shrink It like he ask

paper oriole
#

yea lmao

indigo sun
#

@lone kite to reiterate the points listed. 1.) sucho is already very small
2.) why does sucho need to be smaller than it currently is?
3.) why does sucho need a sub stage as a mid tier when those are specifically for apexes?

lilac swallow
#

"lets make an actually shrinked Dino even smaller, lets give It a subadult that wouldnt fit even with the old size, hell It wouldnt fit even with the real size but lets ad a subadult"

thorny lynx
#

Who the heck asked to shrink sucho? Sucho is already small as heck... It's barely bigger than allo, when it should dwarf it.

lilac swallow
#

Maybe he would ask to rename it to baryonux as well

thorny lynx
#

Bary is just as big as sucho lmfao

unborn quail
#

Shrink an already undersized dinosaur

lilac swallow
#

Upscale diablo dondiWeSmart

thorny lynx
#

mmm, Diablo isn't even that ;arge to begin with

#

It's one ton heavier in game than it should be, already xD

lilac swallow
#

Thats my point

thorny lynx
#

All dinos need some sort of scaling. The fact carno dwarfs allo and cerato but weighs less than them is really beyond me.

lilac swallow
#

Talking nonsense

#

Just think as weight as a balancing number

#

Not actual weight

thorny lynx
#

I just want accurate dino model sizes. Everything feels so big.

indigo sun
#

I'd love if people actually responded to suggestion discussions for the suggestions they made

thorny lynx
#

I stand next to a door as a rex and I feel like I'm 7 feet tall.

barren zephyr
#

replaces sucho with bary

lilac swallow
#

I prefer bary but thats me

barren zephyr
#

i mean if u wanna downsize it just use bary

#

then

lilac swallow
#

That and having 2 apex and a pseudo apex is worse than having 2 apex and a mid tier in water

#

But thats just my opinion

unborn quail
#

Sucho really isn't a pseudo apex to begin with

lilac swallow
#

Yeah but you get my point

night mountain
#

psucho apex

unborn quail
#

Probably never will be, Which is understandable. So long as it tells Allo to fuck off, i'm happy with it

lilac swallow
#

In water we got 2 apex and a Big mid tier, It comes from kind of Big to plain Big, not much size diference between the water boys

night mountain
#

Hopefully austro and bary make it in at some point too

unborn quail
#

Meh, last thing we need is another push over mid tier, which is what bary would be.

#

It would just make allo the uncontested top mid tier

night mountain
#

idk if everything needs to revolve on how well it can fight allo though

indigo sun
#

austro would be a good addition

unborn quail
#

Everyone uses it as a standard for mid tiers already, so might as well

lilac swallow
#

Standar of mid tiers
The 2nd biggest mid tier

unborn quail
#

One is garbage, the other is fast and more centered around smaller stuff

#

Allo is the mid tier, Generalistic animal

night mountain
#

though personally I don't care if something is in sandbox purgatory forever as long as it's injectable still

indigo sun
#

@sick meteor progression's dead. Just wait for mods.

#

Someone will mod it in

mental sleet
#

Watt will certainly try dondiSmile

sick meteor

jovial saddle
#

I want progression so badly

#

But it has the same problem with survival

#

Apex carnivore spam

indigo sun
#

i mean, it's a bit harder in progression to get an apex from what I heard, but this can be easily solved in survival by giving players perks like shorter growth time if they move around, which is planned

jovial saddle
#

Progression is almost the same thing

#

Except more variety

mental sleet
#

like variety is of any relevance when they are all stat bots

rigid tartan
#

anyone else think camera positioning for big dinosaurs in dense forest jungle is bit of a problem? you can barely see your own dino let alone if you're chasing something. could fall over a ledge and die easy enough in there.

#

i know the easy answer is "oh just dont go in there" but its the best place to hunt people as they cant see you from 300m away lol

#

problem is you cant see them from 2m xD

blazing charm
#

@shell mica You have to understand, Strains are still under development. Right now they are in such an unfinished and unbalanced state to where they are pretty much unstoppable (which, they are somewhat supposed to be but I think they are supposed to have SOME weakness)

I get what you're saying, you just want to run around as one in your own private server, but then every single community server would just have Hypers running around and that would just kill the magic, which is saying something considering they are kind of overused already.

Also I don't think the Hyper raptor is even ready yet.

shell mica
#

@blazing charm you're right

#

@blazing charm It's been too long since the game was released and it's been four years now. If we want to get these, it means we're going to live longer than dongdi, right? It's worrying that the situation is unknown to everyone.

blazing charm
#

It's a trying time, yeah. But all good things do come in time. I'd just find something else to occupy yourself with in the meantime, not that I am saving to give up or forget about the Isle of course.

hallow vigil
#

to all the "bring back prog" suggestions:

#

progression is 100% deathlyrage's code i believe, meaning it would have to be completely remade in the recode to bring it back

#

so its not a simple "bring it back" or "turn it back on"

#

they would have to remake it, while survival isnt even done itself yet

blazing charm
#

Didn't even think about that.

hallow vigil
#

rekt

blazing charm
#

Hey now, I never said I wanted Prog

#

I just disagreed with the idea of bringing it back because it was genuinely the most painfully boring experience to go through.

rotund tartan
#

@simple wagon what happens if you die ?

simple wagon
#

you loose them

#

I mean idk how much you have to work for them, but I just want to show examples how they work

rotund tartan
#

if you loose them you are just forcing people to cheat

simple wagon
#

that's it

#

how ?

rotund tartan
#

well... depends.. as a tank.. just find someone to hit you.. you heal.. hit.. heal hit.. the end

#

and dying.. the game needs to be sure it can tell from a juvie from an adult

#

so they dont abuse it that way

#

if I kill a juvie rex.. for example

simple wagon
#

yup you can fix it with hunting full grown

#

and getting damage from adults

#

also it will be kinda slow so people can spot cheaters

barren zephyr
#

@simple wagon I feel like you think rex is a scavenger with your suggestion.

simple wagon
#

wait wat

night mountain
#

Rex went extinct because it only could see moving things like in jp but also only scavenged, RIP

jovial saddle
barren zephyr
#

@night mountain isn't that just a myth,
being only able to see moving things i mean

blazing charm
#

That was the wrong chat, my bad.

#

Anyway, moving on.

barren zephyr
#

lol

#

The Compsognathus is related to the Austroraptor

#

Just putting that out there

#

'neat'

#

As in, they are almost the same. Small scavengers

blazing charm
#

As I was saying, running around as something so tiny would get pretty boring after awhile, and someone that small could easily be used as a scout/spy.

barren zephyr
#

I guess austro's aren't survival yet tho

#

yes, i hadn't thought about that...

blazing charm
#

You do realise, Austro is pretty much the same size as a human, right?

barren zephyr
#

thats dryo lmao

#

the Compsognathus wasn't much smaller

blazing charm
