Have you looked up utahraptors ?

normal fern
#

Wouldn't even be a problem if we had a choice

#

Like feathers and scaly

#

Bunny hands or realistic

formal vine
#

Why do you ask @random knoll ?

#

And what do you mean Skywalken?

#

Oh yeah, if we had a choce

#

choice*

#

to choose

random knoll
#

Well cuz I’m looking them up and they look like the new wrists

formal vine
#

lmao

random knoll
#

But that might be the angle that there at

grave karma
#

isnt that one the oldass deinonychus drawing

formal vine
#

Yeah

#

Thats what the Isle's utahraptor is gonna become

grave karma
#

i dont think it would get that bad

formal vine
#

Well

#

Your right

#

Not THAT bad

normal fern
#

It's not even about being realistic or not it's about the option to choose between the wrist types the same way we will be able to choose between feathers and scales

formal vine
#

But Dondi come on get the wrists proper lmao

normal fern
#

Like I don't care that their more realistic, I just prefer them facing inwards

random knoll
#

Ahh ok

tame bane
#

If I may add. There was a huge discussion about spino and how it couldn’t walk on all fours because its wrists would break to do that. If that level of reasoning and accuracy is used for spino do the same for Utah.

manic ibex
#

@sturdy lintel Paras have 4min10 of stam and have the same speed as Allo. They can oustam an endurance hunter and then kill it by stomping on it. It is not slow or weak by any means.

#

If by "anything big", you mean apexes, well just know that being either ambushed successfully by a Rex or followed and tracked by a Giga means death for pretty much all dinos right now, not just Paras.

sturdy lintel
#

Hmm okay just didnt look like it.. My herd was slaughtered by acros which have the same biteforce

#

@manic ibex

manic ibex
#

Acros are not even on survival right now, talking about it is just irrelevant, just like anything that isn't in survival.

sturdy lintel
#

Alright got it

grave karma
#

and also para outspeeds allo by a tiny bit

#

nvm same exact speed

formal vine
#

an ambushing giga can catch up to para at close range

grave karma
#

yep

wintry bough
#

What do you guys think of this idea I found on the steam forums

valid zephyr
#

isn't that basically prog?

wintry bough
#

Basically, I found it on stream forums and I hate it

#

Just want to get more opinions

valid zephyr
#

Well I preferred progression

analog ingot
#

dat dude know affinity is coming right? We probably wont have problems with too many of that dino in future or they will just be AI if noone plays em?

valid zephyr
#

superior game mode imo

#

as it encouraged a balanced ecosystem, rather than just being a mass of rexes

mental sleet
#

it's not superior in any way shape or form.

analog ingot
#

I understand your view, but personally want to grow the life of a creature I like, rather than play boring dryo to get to X dino etc (dryo isn't boring but lol)

mental sleet
#

It's just that it was better balanced than survival is at this point in time.

#

So it was more fun because of that.

analog ingot
#

True

mental sleet
#

The gamemode itself involved going through a multitude of animals you didn't want to play to get to the one you did.

wintry bough
#

I hated progression because playing as that damn velo was sooo boring

#

And starving to death was super common

analog ingot
#

Some stages were boring because they didn't had anything to em back then.

wintry bough
#

And back then apex’s were still super common

valid zephyr
#

prog had no AI and no scent which didn't help starving

#

trouble with survival is there is nothing to stop 90% of players picking rex and nothing else. The result is hordes of apexes across the map.

white torrent
#

I never really got to experience Prog

barren zephyr
#

oh boy

#

it was totally different from survival

valid zephyr
#

The downside of it was you didn't get to play the dino you wanted, as it would be top tier and take ages to get to.

The upside was there was tons of smaller things, a few medium things, and rare apexes like in a proper ecosystem.

#

Until nesting came in at least.

barren zephyr
#

and there wasn't that much carnis

patent spade
#

@barren zephyr you do realize the recode will allow them to fix all that shit and implement the mechanics needed for flying and water dinos right??

indigo sun
#

That was talked about a while ago

#

So, not really much of a reason to ping them bring that whole thing up. It was explained to them last night

barren zephyr
#

^

vestal rune
#

there would be less rexes if it was harder to become one

tender rampart
#

I’m sure we can ALL agree that there would be less Rexs if Gigas just spawned sharks to eat them...

surreal ingot
#

No

#

Sharks

#

Never again

tender rampart
#

🦈 🦈 🦈

surreal ingot
#

We ain’t doing the shark crap again

tender rampart
#

Hahaha 😂

mellow maple
#

I mean we have Mesozoic crocodillains and Mesozoic Pterosaurs...

surreal ingot
#

I think I’ve seen enough of em for a life time

mellow maple
#

How about Mesozoic sharks? Jkjkjk

surreal ingot
#

Don’t give them ideas

#

Can we all just forget about the sharks man

mellow maple
#

They wacky anyway

south flower
#

I’ve looked up some Utahraptor skeletons and to me personally, the wrists look like they could be like what the new ones are. But there’s different variations of the skeletons so I can’t be 100% accurate.

grand brook
#

the one in the middle is a deinonychus

south flower
#

Odd, it was on a Utahraptor info page
darn google lol

grand brook
#

in fact the last one is the only one that can trully be called a utah, because a few years ago utahs were represented as overgrown deinonychus. In reality they looked basically like a discount allo

south flower
#

Huh, neat! Honestly, the wrists are the least of my worries. I feel people are being a bit too dramatic about it, but I can see why people want to lean for realism when it comes to structure of the creatures.

still temple
#

a JP raptor doesn't belong in TI

south flower
#

I was hoping to find an actual skeleton photo instead of an illustration, but the only one I found most accurate was the 3rd picture I posted.

barren zephyr
#

funny, these illustrations are more accurate

#

because the skeletons you shown are outdated

#

in terms of reconstruction

south flower
#

That may be so, but I like to look at the skeleton actually standing.
And I know the pictures I posted aren’t 100%, I admitted to that already.

barren zephyr
#

@clear swan

#

Compsognathus is far from being the smallest dinosaur

#

there are countless dinosaur genuses far smaller

clear swan
#

ok.

paper oriole
#

well it'd be the smallest in game for sure

analog ingot
#

dont trust the isle wiki pls. Everyone hates it lol

mental sleet
#

and for good reasons

#

damn thing's as reliable as the ARK devs with ETAs

valid zephyr
#

The isle community hasn't hit critical mass, therefore doesn't have a good wiki.

paper oriole
#

oof

jovial moss
#

I think compies would be way too small to be playable in game... unless they got a huuuuge size boost or something

#

I mean whats a 5 pound stick dino gunna do against a 300 pound juvie?? there'd need to be like 20 just to fight juvies

indigo sun
#

yeah i'm pretty sure theyre very below the size limit, and just like velo, it'd be literally the most useless thing in the game. it wouldnt be able to fight even the weakest of things, and it'd still be close to useless in groups

barren zephyr
#

Compies would only really make a good replacement for Velos. They're basically the same in the case of the game

jovial moss
#

even a velo would give like 3 compies trouble

#

wtf is it gunna do to a taco? or oro? or ava? nothing, they're just too small

oblique sluice
#

So basically giga/acro hybrid with allo model @native vault

native vault
#

Exactly hah

oblique sluice
#

Giga it's enough hard to balance

#

we don't need another one tbh

#

also i really doubt sauro it's more than just a big allo but thats more #paleotalk

native vault
#

I didn't say it's a bigger Allo, I said it's like a bigger Allo

#

Sauropods is quite different than Allo though

unborn quail
#

wh-Wha

oblique sluice
#

No way it's unique enough to fit in survival

#

sauropods? whut

unborn quail
#

Sauorophaganax

#

is an allosaurus

oblique sluice
#

^

unborn quail
#

It's name has been Synonymous with Allosaurus for years now

native vault
#

A. Maximus you mean?

unborn quail
#

Correct.

native vault
#

Yeah

oblique sluice
#

basically

balmy dirge
#

@young surge that would only cause more kosing

unborn quail
#

Like, i'm all for Allosaurus, but we don't need a literal upscaled one to serve as apex, We have giga for that exact reason

oblique sluice
#

We like it or not it's actually hard find a dinosaur unique enough to fit in the roster rn

native vault
#

People really complain about Giga's speed, Sauro could be fast but have bad stam like Acro

unborn quail
#

So could Giga.

oblique sluice
#

yeah

indigo sun
#

do people complain about giga's speed?

#

i usually hear complaints about the biteforce

unborn quail
#

They only complain about rex being faster

oblique sluice
#

people complain about everything

#

u know

unborn quail
#

That too^

indigo sun
#

oh yeah

keen trail
#

The saurophaganax sound cool but it’d only be an Acro re skin except probably not as fast and better stam

unborn quail
#

Hard to be an Acro reskin when Acro is still bigger than you

native vault
#

re skin

oblique sluice
#

It'd only be another balance problem

keen trail
#

Eh true

#

Or maybe a giga re skin with that bleed stuff

#

It’d fill the same niche as the giga if it were an apex giga

random knoll
#

you mean the shark thing

keen trail
#

I mean apex

native vault
#

It could be a re skin smh

keen trail
#

no the suggestion above mine

unborn quail
#

Still not really big enough to be an apex.

keen trail
#

Yeah

unborn quail
#

A. maximus was big, But it was still dwarfed by Tyrannosaurus and Giga

jovial moss
#

We don't need more carnivore apexes anyway

random knoll
#

gimme some herbis

oblique sluice
#

It fits more in the role ''pseudoapex'' what it doesn't exit in survival

jovial moss
#

yes pls more herbis

indigo sun
#

so, youre pretty much just throwing a bunch of stuff together to come up with stats. it'll apparently be a mix of acro, giga, allo, and dilo. and we really dont need another carni apex. we've got 4 already, if you count deino as an apex, which i kinda do, so i dont see the point of saurophaganax besides "yeah it's a cool dinosaur could be a mix of all these things"

oblique sluice
#

I like a lot A.maximus but nope, there is no place for him

keen trail
#

We need more herbivore than carnivore species

oblique sluice
#

We don't

indigo sun
#

it really just seems like a useless addition

keen trail
#

It’d make things more balanced. Every server I’ve played on over 50% is carnivore players

#

The majority are carnivore players

oblique sluice
#

adding more herbivores don't mean people will play more herbivores

#

just make the ones we have actually interesting

keen trail
#

I mean it would add more herbivore play styles

native vault
#

We need more herbs apexes smh

jovial moss
#

considering currently there is only ONE herbivore apex, yes we need more herbs

mental sleet
#

we need herb to be fun*

#

or at least more fun.

indigo sun
#

yeah i dont see how putting more herbivores in balances out the population. adding more doesnt make them less boring

oblique sluice
#

stego coming, anky might be (i hope)

keen trail
#

We have 2 playstyles for herbivores: fast and weak, big and strong

#

With the exception of their

#

Theri

mental sleet
#

well yeah

#

fast and strong's OP

#

weak and big is garbage

oblique sluice
#

Theri will be a headache for balance

mental sleet
#

so you can only really go with those two you mentioned

native vault
#

Currently Trike is the only one that can protect a herd and it still can be easily killed by a Rex

keen trail
#

Maia is weak and big

random knoll
#

it cant protect a herd what you tlaking about

#

trikes cna mixherd anymore

#

cant*

mental sleet
#

that won't be permanent, hexa.

native vault
#

I'm talking abt other servers too

mental sleet
#

we don't know if the devs plan on maintaining this change post-recode

keen trail
#

Not everything in the game is limited to the official servers, hex’s

random knoll
#

o there getting rid of it?

mental sleet
#

others servers apart from official are actually irrelevant.

oblique sluice
#

well trike can mix herd with dryo

keen trail
#

There are unnoficals as well

mental sleet
#

in terms of balancing

oblique sluice
#

and avadondiTroll

jovial moss
#

herbs need to be actually focused on and balanced, hopefully once the recode is out they'll focus on giving them their power back

oblique sluice
#

other than pachy and trike

keen trail
#

I agree with the “herbs need to be more fun” the most

oblique sluice
#

i don't see much more problems with herbs

keen trail
#

There needs to be a reason to play as them

oblique sluice
#

balance wise i mean

keen trail
#

Besides being the challenging prey

#

Sometimes challenging

mental sleet
#

The only thing that can help with that is affinity

#

and better developed systems for nesting.

native vault
#

What do you think abt Diplo

oblique sluice
#

we have camara

native vault
#

It's small af

keen trail
#

Diplo sounds interesting...

oblique sluice
#

because it's bugged af

keen trail
#

But yeah we do have camara

oblique sluice
#

same with acro and sandbox dinos

mental sleet
#

Just upsize camara.

native vault
#

It used to be bigger

mental sleet
#

and fix the sauropod issues

keen trail
#

Yeah camara, from what I heard, but a bit larger than it is in game

native vault
#

Diplo looks better imo

pulsar lake
#

Acro AI rework ❤

oblique sluice
#

it does

keen trail
#

Acro gonna be ai?

oblique sluice
#

but we already have camara

#

so no point on diplo

native vault
#

it can always be a re skin

oblique sluice
#

uh....

mental sleet
#

that makes no sense

oblique sluice
#

too different

mental sleet
#

absolutely no bloody sense.

#

A diplo is nowhere near what a camara is.

pulsar lake
#

Acro will be an AI yes @keen trail

keen trail
#

Oh nice

oblique sluice
#

it's like

native vault
#

wait really

keen trail
#

Maybe Alberto will make it to survival

mental sleet
#

look them up freze.

keen trail
#

As well as herra

oblique sluice
#

alberto could work

#

herre too

pulsar lake
#

I've made an Alberto suggestion a little bit before

keen trail
#

I think alberto is pretty well balanced as it is now besides the fact you can kill rexes quite easily with them

native vault
#

Would Cama ever make it to survival though

oblique sluice
#

meh

pulsar lake
#

Alberto is too fast

oblique sluice
#

just make alberto what is sub rex now

pulsar lake
#

Mhhhhm

oblique sluice
#

i mean

#

with some touches

pulsar lake
#

I think, alberto should be a better sub rex

keen trail
#

Except faster than sub rex

native vault
#

Yeah

oblique sluice
#

1.0 sub rex is scary af

#

like, really scary

pulsar lake
#

Like dibble is for trike, allo is for giga and sucho will be for sub spino

keen trail
#

If Alberto were sub rex it’d just be getting attacked by allo packs all the time

oblique sluice
#

sub rex 1.0 shits on allo

manic ibex
#

how about alberto packs

pulsar lake
#

Okay sub are more powerful but in general mid tier have more chance to survive

native vault
#

uh oh

pulsar lake
#

A sub apex who meet an apex, except sub rex, is just dead

#

But mid tier can escape

#

Except sucho

native vault
#

What do you guys think about Diplo? I guess Cama won't make it to survival so Diplo could be something really interesting

oblique sluice
#

Dude

#

If cama won't make it to survival

#

either will diplo

indigo sun
#

who said cama wont make it to survival? i dont remember that ever being specifically said?

oblique sluice
#

and if cama is in survival, no point on diplo

native vault
#

cama is buggy

oblique sluice
#

fix it

native vault
#

pue too

oblique sluice
#

problem solved

indigo sun
#

pue's gone, so no ppoint made there

keen trail
#

@pulsar lake wdym sucho is not a good competitor against allo? Sucho absolutely shits on allo. I 1v6 allos packs on my sucho

indigo sun
#

and cama can just... be fixed. i dont see how this is a hard concept for some people to grasp

pulsar lake
#

Trample damage of cama won't be too powerful when collision will come and than god

#

Competition is about hunt

#

Not fight

native vault
#

If Cama would make it to survival it would be good

pulsar lake
#

A sucho can't, and will not, hunt prey of an allo

#

@keen trail

keen trail
#

I do lol

#

And win

#

Kill an allo in like 4 bites ha

#

Now yes a large allo pack can sometimes hunt apex, and sucho can’t because of its speed, but it can easily compete against allos and win

oblique sluice
#

apex more like rex

pulsar lake
#

No you don't understand.
Allo is an hunter in pack who hunt apexes and mid tier.
Sucho is a scavenger, fisher hunter of baby and pterosaur. He is not adapted to hunt large stuff.
That why Alberto could be a competitor to Allo

oblique sluice
#

giga if is retarded or don't alt turn

unborn quail
#

@pulsar lake Small gripe, There's a special thing with Alberto that can easily make it unique next to a Rex, and that's it's extremely lithe build, meant for speed, Personally, this kinda just looks like the exact thing people didn't want with Alberto, and that's smaller rex

#

Just another bruiser crusher who just kinda walks up and chomps

keen trail
#

I get it in realism yes, sucho is absolutely no match for allos and never will. But I’m on my sucho right now at party plains on a server with 150 people and I live there! How do you think I survive?

#

I survived so many rex pairs hunting me

#

I’ve been living here for weeks

barren zephyr
#

@native vault u do realize saurophaganax is an allosaurus right?

keen trail
#

Lol

unborn quail
#

Which is, again, why @blazing charm's approach to the animal was so supported, it took note of the adaptions the animal had compared to Rex, and turned it into something different by acknowledging the lack in bulk it had as compared to other similarly sized animals

#

@barren zephyr We told 'em

blazing charm
#

Ayy lmao

barren zephyr
#

im always late loll

unborn quail
#

Like, I'm always glad to see more Alberto suggestions, but that just feels like smaller rex that ignores Albertos specific adaptions

pulsar lake
#

Well
Iwill

#

I will sleep and don't sleep

#

So I go to bed

#

Bye...

#

I wanted to talk about Alberto fuck

#

But alberto can be fast and have not a good stam like rex
But here I try to make alberto not a slow ass and not a speedy boy but a resonable dinosaurs who is fast, like normal, with a god ambush, but we can make it slow with a bigger speed steal and a really fucking good ambush.

unborn quail
#

Look at how myself, bruce, and jaffad did it, Picked an animal to balance it around(Allo), Sat down, figured out how we could make it fast, like the animal is meant to be, came out with glass cannon/high damage lad

blazing charm
#

AND BRUCE

unborn quail
#

I'm not saying your idea was bad, Just it feels too similar to rex.

pulsar lake
#

I will rewrite anothzr one one day

#

Can you show me your suggestion?

#

I want to read that

blazing charm
#

*our

pulsar lake
#

Thank you

still temple
#

If Trike and Diablo is a thing, I see no reason why Rex and Alberto can't be a thing dondiSmile

analog ingot
#

I can see Alberto being added in. Dont know why people keep comparing it to sub rex or rex at all. We have wolves, coyotes and foxes living in same ecosystem with different niches. And this is a game, so niches should be possible to create but challening cause we need to think about other animals too and how it affects the ecosystem.

#

Now that we are getting morphs, sub rex can no longer stay sub (I think?) so Albert is welcomed.

oblique sluice
#

Basically morph opened more the door for alberto being added as playable

still temple
#

alberto resize wen

analog ingot
#

Is our current Albert smaller or bigger than irl?

unborn quail
#

Bigger

#

WAY bigger

unborn quail
#

oh my

#

But yeah, actual alberto should be tad larger then Carno and Allo

analog ingot
#

dunno how I posted that ._.

#

anyways

oblique sluice
#

Also Nova, the alberto on that document wouldn't make allo force to fight if alberto wants, wound alberto terrible but just sit and heal?

blazing charm
#

What?

unborn quail
#

Not following, sorry, am big brain

oblique sluice
#

It's mb, my eng just sucks ass

#

I mean, it is faster than allo

#

So if they are kinda close and alberto wants to fight, allo is forced to fight

blazing charm
#

To clarify, that particular version of the document is pretty much obsolete due to the upcoming mechanic/balance changes that will happen post-recode.

unborn quail
#

^

oblique sluice
#

yeah, that too

#

combat overhaul

unborn quail
#

For a general sum up, Allo and Alberto is very much, least for me, something that is just unpredictable in a one on one fight

#

So even if Alberto wants to fight, isn't a guaranteed win

#

Same on Allo's hand

oblique sluice
#

Some idea about alberto turn radius?

unborn quail
#

Decent, i'd say, similar to Allo's if not slightly worse on the sprint to give Allo some sort of upper hand if it tries to put some distance

oblique sluice
#

Thats cool

unborn quail
#

The nice thing with new combat is Speed kind of becomes sub-relevant in combat, So like, Tail attacks aren't doing anything, so if you're deciding to flee, you won't need to worry about being nuked from behind

oblique sluice
#

Yep, we can only wait and see what is coming

unborn quail
#

Mhm, but Alberto will be seeing a complete overhaul once we have more details, We want to perfect an Allo rival, Alberto looked to be the best option

#

Carno is a small game hunter, Cerato's too small, Sucho mainly fishes and is just way too big.

oblique sluice
#

Alberto is the only one that can rival Allo in a 50/50 way

analog ingot
#

Dont forget biomes in future. Idk if they will provide recommended niches for each dino. But that should keep the albert and allo meeting too often or something cooled. (Actually not sure.

#

@oblique sluice Glad to see someone who actually realizes that an equally strong mid tier is better then another 'low class' or 'high class' mid

#

Another middle man 👌 weary

oblique sluice
#

Mid tier master race

mellow maple
#

@pulsar lake I'd be very in favor of adding Alberto. But I have more of a bias for Gorgosaurus.

#

Rn I play sub-rex because it's the closest thing to it.

#

Tyrannosaurus is way too bulky for my taste

#

So I'd rather play its faster relative, the albertosaurines

clear swan
#

@grim stump tbh I'd live the "seducing female" idea, it does sound a tad weird lmaoo , but it would make the isle a lot more realistic and impressive , and might make ppl want to play as male. Do you know any moves that dinos do to attract a mate?

indigo sun
#

i dont see the point of that really. i dont think an animation or call will make people want to play males when you could just as easily include them in the nesting process as a necessary element and then people would need to be males instead of asexual females

clear swan
#

@indigo sun true.

#

i ain't gonna argue lmao , ur right xd

grave karma
#

at most it'd be a mod, even then it'd probably be for the meme

#

5-call: Mating Call

paper oriole
#

mating dances when

sick gale
#

I think adding mating dances and similar animations could be neat unlockable content. Players who like nesting already go all out with taking care of babies, etc.

#

Or if we could create our own custom ones from existing pieces in character creation

oblique dust
#

so I'm starting to think that herbivores should get global chat again.

paper oriole
#

yes

oblique dust
#

but a restricted form of global chat that's either limited to their same species, and/or other species within their suborder.

#

because while having like, 8 trikes join a herd of mid-tiers, or having like a group of 25+ paras can be cancerous for smaller carnivore packs,

#

it seems like the complete removal of global chat has kinda decimated herbivore players, especially on official servers.

paper oriole
#

such groups of herbis are rare nowadays lol i havent seen more than 2 paras in one spot on a survival server in ages

oblique dust
#

I've come across a few

paper oriole
#

most of them that i see are chilling in safezones on those pussy servers

oblique dust
#

but for new players who don't know about server discords, or for players who just prefer going solo until they manage to meet or find someone in-game, it's kind of impossible finding herds at the moment.

#

and yeah you're right, most of them either go in safezones or in extremely unpopulated, isolated corners of the map.

paper oriole
#

yea the social aspect is literally the only perk of being an herbi these days they could at least make that part easier

oblique dust
#

it used to be much more social though, but it's not anymore.

paper oriole
#

most paras i talk to are just trying the dino out because they never bothered before too

oblique dust
#

I would say even carnivores are more social/friendly with each other nowadays.

paper oriole
#

pretty much

oblique dust
#

carnivores have kind of stolen the herbivores' perks, thanks to how easy they have it now.

paper oriole
#

there's basically more rexes on any populated server than all herbis combined

oblique dust
#

and the gameplay aspects for both herbivores and carnivores have suffered as a result.

#

yeah the apex issue is still incredbily out-of-hand.

indigo sun
#

Idk why you'd want everything to know youre in an area. Both ruins any chance something smaller or weaker would ever come into your territory and increases the chance something larger and hungry will ffind you and kill you

#

Territories just... dont feel like a good idea in a game where everything is either out to kill you or doing its best to avoid getting killed by you

paper oriole
#

maybe territories would only work between species

#

like an allosaurus could see if an area is claimed by another pack of allos

idk

#

not a fan of territories myself anyway

oblique dust
#

even then I still can't see it working out since dinosaurs might end up being stricted to certain biomes thanks to the affinity system

indigo sun
#

I mean, at least they didnt suggest shit as a twrritory marker

oblique dust
#

and even then, their prey items will be forced to migrate around the biome for food, so they'll have to track them down as well.

#

could lead to a looooot of unwanted conflicts

indigo sun
#

I dont know many things, besides herbivores which are basically gone at this point, and nesting dinosaurs, that stay in the same area long enough to claim it as a territory, but idk maybe that shit's all the rage on nonofficials or something

paper oriole
#

the few serves ive been in with territories just have drama in global 100% of the time "you can't drink from this lake gtfo this is our lake"

#

"hey admin can they stop me from drinking form this lake?" /10 min fight about drinking

oblique dust
#

I think conflicts between packs would be fun, but it shouldn't be such a common event to the point where it becomes repetitive, grindy or even drama-inducing

paper oriole
#

@floral plover rex's hit is so wonky because of the fucked up code, which they are fixing and combat is getting reworked as a whole

indigo sun
#

Yeah. I was gonna say, that's not like, on purpose. It's just that the code's fucky, so the bite's fucky.

#

It's more of a bug than anything, not really something that needs to be "nerfed," i dont even know how you can nerf a hitbox honestly

paper oriole
#

yea they gotta clean up mister master coder's mess before they can really progress with anything like that

floral plover
#

The new comfort system is coming next patch right with the recode which is what it basically is?

indigo sun
#

Comfort?

floral plover
#

Combat*

#

Sorry lol

indigo sun
#

Oh

oblique dust
#

doubt it

#

the release of the recode won't instantly result in a plethora of new content for us

indigo sun
#

The ass-biting should just be resolved just by cleaning up all that nasty spaghetti code left behind, it's not really combat-mechanic specific.

oblique dust
#

they'll still add things overtime, but a much faster rate than we used to get. supposedly...

indigo sun
#

It'd be fixed regardless of any new combat stuff

floral plover
#

Thank god

#

I just want a new combat system, one without ass riding or alt turn

#

not a bad idea..

#

cause atem females are only both genders in one and it would give the male something to do.. and would give equal to both male and female the ability to make a nest..

#

hey.. im not wrong am i?

umbral tartan
#

No

#

Just no

#

Touch for seduce female is a no no

#

The recode is toying with your mind

valid zephyr
#

Except nesting is useful. 'touch to seduce female' is not.

teal grotto
#

Still need a way to stop the females from infesting servers just by them selves they are not Xenomorphs

valid zephyr
#

Imo it should be female has to place the nest and build the first 50%. A male then has to build the second 50%. This locks in both parents.

Babies would then be able to make a skin using the skin selection screen, but limited to the colours of the parents in its slots.

If the male dies, the nest goes down to 50% and a new male has to rebuild it.

lament thorn
#

I dont think the male dying should destory the nest

umbral tartan
#

Not really

#

I think its more, females can make nests

#

At any time

valid zephyr
#

Or maybe no new eggs can be made until a new male 'registers' with the nest.

teal grotto
#

1 time a single giga mother gave birth to like 20 giga babies just her self lol

umbral tartan
#

And always lay eggs

#

But they have to get fertilized by a male

valid zephyr
#

But the old eggs are still viable even if the male dies.

umbral tartan
#

If they arent fertilized, they have to get pooped somewhere

lament thorn
#

id prefer a simple 'fertilse' button on a nest that the male has to press to activate it

umbral tartan
#

And just get eaten

#

Thats good blue

valid zephyr
#

Maybe per egg, so the nest isn't perma activated by a single male.

lament thorn
#

I think it would be interesting for males to try and guard females that are building nests to ensure he is the sire

teal grotto
#

What i think is once the female or male that builds the nest they need a mateiarch and a patheriarch.. Then the male and female need to register to the said nest in order to start making eggs.. aka female sitting on the nest.

#

but once the male or female dies they can not make any more eggs

valid zephyr
#

What I don't want are these creepy seduce/mating/egg laying anims people keep suggesting.

oblique crown
#

Lol

umbral tartan
#

If you fertilise eggs with female, but female already has eggs from prev male, the male would want to destroy those eggs

oblique crown
#

Yeah fuck that just give dilo a hop

umbral tartan
#

For affinity bonus

teal grotto
#

im just saying a simple way to settle it without the graphical things

lament thorn
#

even tho most people will be nesting with friends it would be nice if it still casued a little bit of conflict

valid zephyr
#

Males do need a use in this game, but 'touch to seduce female' sure as hell isn't it.

umbral tartan
#

Comrade we already covered that what he said was wrong

teal grotto
#

female creates a nest then... nest UI comes up.. (note says) Can not create eggs without partner male species here) then the male opens up the UI for the nest and clicks on the patriarch section.. other partner gets the request to be patriarch.. then partner clicks accept.. THEN they can store food and then the female can lay on her nest..

#

thats the solution

valid zephyr
#

When the male dies a new patriach is needed?

#

rather than destroying the nest.

teal grotto
#

the same thing pops up.. but if there are eggs ready for others the female can still invite new ''children'' into the nest..

lament thorn
#

pretty sure every dino is getting a set amount of eggs per nest

#

so they cant just be used as an endless spawner

teal grotto
#

So friend dies.. female cant gestate any new eggs

#

but can incubate if its in that stage

#

you just cant create new eggs by your self.

#

understanding the entire thing?

#

so if the new male wants to take the place of the current patriarch he has to kill him then just do the whole click on the empty patriarch option

#

rinse and repeat..

#

With that.. you wont see an infestaion of apexes and the whole thing killing your own thing.. so players will need partners in order to make a nest operational.

#

hope that helps solve both problems..

azure arch
#

mating animation

#

= eggo

#

No mating animation = no eggo

#

or the male can just sit on top of a female while on nest

#

and that'll make eggs.

As long as the female has an option to eat the male.

Even with herbis.

Or at least being able to attack. My gal has standards, and her standards are grills

#

@azure arch You need to provide more details than just "X would be fun"

#

What would be its unique mechanics?

azure arch
#

Right

indigo sun
#

Feels really off to put that in a dinosaur game, but maybe that's just me.

azure arch
#

maoshrug There's always kaprosuchus

vestal rune
#

isn't smilodon smaller than utah?

azure arch
#

Yeah

#

I'll just remove the suggestion.

oblique sluice
#

I just see cenozoic creatures working in a far, far away dlc with their own map

valid zephyr
#

Kentro should be smol tier rather than medium tier

#

1500-1700kg

#

somthing like that

#

also why have so many people reacted badly to it?

#

kentro would be a good addition

#

we have 3 incoming carnis and only a single incoming herbi.

nocturne sonnet
#

my mood wnet down 3 carnies 1 hebr maybe the plateo could be a good mid tier but how can be people so negativ

valid zephyr
#

plateo would just be food. it's awful

#

and evidently from the reactions people don't want kentro 😦

#

seems like it would be a fun dino imo

#

small spiky thing which inflicts a ton of bleed if you try to bite it or somthing

vestal rune
#

3 carnis? I'm probably having a shitty memory lapse but weren't we only getting dieno and ptera?

#

also, you shouldn't be adding herbis just because they'res alot of carnis, you should add herbis so they can fill a gameplay style not filled before

mental sleet
#

Deino, they probably consider Ptera.

#

And that's it, really.

surreal ingot
#

Yeah

vestal rune
#

ye idk how there's 3 carnis

valid zephyr
#

Deino, Ptera, and Spino announced for carnis. Stego for herbis.

vestal rune
#

oh spino

valid zephyr
#

that's 3 carnis and 1 herbi.

vestal rune
#

spino is far from incoming, it's model isn't even done yet I think

valid zephyr
#

I'm talking about announced dinos though.

#

those are the only 4 confirmed so far

vestal rune
#

but all 3 of those carnis bring very unique gameplay to the isle, that's why they're being added

#

you shouldn't add herbis just because there's alot of carnis lol

valid zephyr
#

kentro would also add unique gameplay though

mental sleet
#

no ?

valid zephyr
#

a small tier which is painful to mess with for larger dinos.

vestal rune
#

would it? I'm kinda having doubts stego would be all that unique

mental sleet
#

It's a smaller stego with spikes.

#

It's juvenile stego but slightly stronger and just as slow.

vestal rune
#

ye

mental sleet
#

There's not much you can make with it.

surreal ingot
#

Pretty much

valid zephyr
#

that's like saying spino is larger sucho with sail

mental sleet
#

Yes

#

Yes it is.

vestal rune
#

not really

mental sleet
#

But the difference here is that the difference between them is with the way they acquire food.

vestal rune
#

spino will have entirely different habitats and food sources

mental sleet
#

With Sucho having more chances to fish and inhabiting less dangerous ground.

vestal rune
#

while kenro is literally just a small stego

mental sleet
#

Spino has to tussle with stronger, more dangerous creatures.

valid zephyr
#

personally i think kentro should be small tier which does damage when bitten. The bigger the thing biting it, the more damage.

that makes it easy for utahs to kill it, but a rex won' tbe able to wipe a herd as it would rack up too much bleed.

mental sleet
#

But Rexes are meant to be rare

valid zephyr
#

lol

mental sleet
#

what good does it make for you to be specialized against ONE type of predator

#

when it's supposed to be a rare sight

#

That adds nothing to the animal.

#

It's placego

#

Placebo*

valid zephyr
#

basically make it a small tier which is more resistant the larger the thing biting it.

#

it's not just rexes. it's spinos and gigas

#

and moderate amount of bleed to mid tiers

#

while small tiers avoid the spikes and don't get bleed

#

you can argue lots of creatures are just smaller versions of others

#

dibble is small trike.

#

sucho is small spino

mental sleet
#

Not on that last case, but I get the idea.

valid zephyr
#

also with varied diets, it could have a different biome and diet to stego

mental sleet
#

I just don't find the way you are trying to differentiate kentro from juvi stego good enough, or even useful in most cases.

valid zephyr
#

difference is stego is a lot more offensive than kentro.

#

would do a lot more bleed damage by swinging its tail

mental sleet
#

Kentro is a ball of spikes.

valid zephyr
#

but no penalty for biting it

mental sleet
#

Kentro's best weapon would be running at shit and hitting them in the ankles.

surreal ingot
#

Pretty much

valid zephyr
#

trampling kentro could also inflict bleed

#

like a lego

surreal ingot
#

So basically it’s a bleed machine

valid zephyr
#

a lot weaker attack than juvie/sub stego, but focused on being hard to kill

#

it just makes it hard for an apex to wipe the entire herd for lols. It can kill a single one and eat it fine, but killing lots at once will keep piling on bleed.

#

The other herbis i'd like to see are cama, anky, and theri tbh

oak shale
#

@pulsar lake Alberto shouldn’t have 14 bleed per bite if it’s going to be a crusher

oak shale
#

Also With this suggestion you made you should take some balance into account, rather than just saying some dinosaurs need to be changed Allo and rex are pretty ok where they are at (apart from the 12 second ambush, but besides that, nothing else should really change)

#

Alberto should be faster than rex by quite a bit imo

#

That bleed heal is also too bad I up it a little

minor basalt
#

Why ass kentro when there's other unique dinosaurs already in the game

#

Theri, anky, camara

valid zephyr
#

God I hope we don't get theri before the devs work out feathers.

#

Naked theri needs burn.

#

Hopefully the devs decide the cama is suitable for addition.

jovial moss
#

I mean, kentro and stego are more unique compared to each other than allo and giga or sucho and spino

oak shale
#

allo is a generalist

#

Since when was giga also ment to be a generalist

jovial moss
#

They all look similar is my point, not adding kentro cuz stego and anky exist is like not addign sucho cuz spino exists

#

they're similar, but they can behave differently

oak shale
#

Hmm

nocturne sonnet
#

what about plateo

jovial moss
#

I like plateo, but idk what it'd do

nocturne sonnet
#

it could do the attack the theri has where it hits 3 times like look at the claw on the front legs

#

it could tail swipe maybe

#

it could be a strong mid tier herb

jovial moss
#

I'm always down for more herb variety

nocturne sonnet
#

and with 3 carnies and 1 herb for survival its sad

minor basalt
#

Yes, but right now, there's potential for 3 other herbivores to be added

#

Even so, variety isn't everything. Two of those carnivores have gameplay that are completely different than any other animal

#

Meanwhile a kentro just doesn't do much niche wise, besides serve as food for mid tiers

crude slate
#

@feral wedge can it possibly be done for unofficial servers?

feral wedge
#

Not an official server

#

Not my problem

jovial moss
#

Kentro: Fast, very defensive bleed inducing small tier
Stego: Slower, large, offensive bleed inducing apex
Anky: Slowest, large, defensive bone breaker crippling apex

mellow maple
#

How is Kentro boring? Smh

#

Side spikes man.

jovial moss
#

idk man

#

I love Kentro

#

A small bleeder herb sounds great

mellow maple
#

it also looks accurate

#

The head is small and the neck is long 👌

jovial moss
#

It'd function like a lion fish I bet, when it's spooked it slaps you with its tail or shoulders and you regret trying to touch it

mellow maple
#

Like how all stegosaurians should be 😠

nocturne sonnet
#

you could only attack at the head if you dont wanna get dmage

mellow maple
#

probs

#

I like the idea of a discount stego

#

I imagine stego would be a chore to work up towards

#

And maybe Kentro could be the weaker but faster to grow version

jovial moss
#

It wouldn't be a discount stego, it'd be it's own thing, diablo isn't discount trike bc tbh diablo invalidates trike lol

mellow maple
#

Like how Diablo is to Trike

#

Okay well, discount is probably a bad term to use lol

#

But I meant like, within the family of ceratopsids

jovial moss
#

well yea

mellow maple
#

the same thing would apply to stegosaurians

jovial moss
#

having more variety "in between" tiers would be nice

mellow maple

you got the smaller option to choose from

im talking about biggest mid tier to smallest apex

valid zephyr
#

At this point we should just get shant as the nest herbi.

#

that would swing the pendulum back away from carnis

mental sleet
#

Shant needs to stay where it currently is

#

away from playability, in sandbox.

#

It makes Giga's balance problem seem small.

unborn quail
#

surreal ingot
#

Shant doesn’t deserve to be in survival

mellow maple
#

dondiSquint I wanna play as the meatcow SMH

#

Shant would be fine for survival tho. It'd be the other apex herbi that can take on the likes of rex.

#

Plus that Q dance is what I wanna use in survival

#

The juveniles would be absolutely adorable

paper oriole
#

but dont you know, anything with an advantage against rex in a fight isn't allowed in survival! especially an herbivore!

valid zephyr
#

Shant would work fine in survival imo, but would need rebalancing.

jovial moss
#

Shant would need it's speed reduced a bit, like a lot of progression-era dinos it's super fast for what it is

#

and maybe a slight weight reduction

#

otherwise shant is actually killable

#

by bleeders especially

#

unlike giga

sick gale
#

In case people didn't know, the Utah will probably not stay a Utah and may acquire a different name. The game takes heavy inspirations from JP for reasons and current Utah model is not super scientifically accurate. I've seen a lot of suggestions and feedback about the wrists, but imo they do more for the design of that particular model.

mellow maple
#

A fictional genus then.

#

Though I guess what sets people off even more is that all theropods couldn't do that. So what gives that raptor the exception.

#

Every other theropod doesn't rn, why is that raptor so special smh

paper tendon
#

No what sets people off is they dont want just a copied version of the JP raptor

#

They would like something new and original

sick gale
#

I guess I'm one of the few that actually likes it

jovial moss
#

It's not that it's terrible, but it's inconsistent with the rest of the dinos in the game

barren zephyr
#

shant can get easily fucked by a rex in a 1v1 and ur telling me its broken?

jovial moss
#

if all the dinos were JP dinos I'd understand, but just the raptor being a straight up JP raptor is odd

valid zephyr
#

Ah yes encouraging corpse guarding. What a great suggestion...

#

I don't get why people keep putting in suggestions which would make the games issues worse.

torn thistle
#

@lethal salmon Gotta explain why it should be added. What mechanics it would have, how would it be different from in-game dinos like Theri, etc.

oblique sluice
#

@lethal salmon And why deinocheirus?

#

^

lethal salmon
#

because it would be a game changer the first onimvore

#

it would have a swipe attack since its beak/duckbill mouth would be for eating

#

it wouldnt be able to swim

oak shale
#

So a heron? @lethal salmon

#

Or something

lethal salmon
#

yes something like that but it would be able to eat other dinos

#

well actually

#

nvm yes a heron that would be able to eat greens too

#

but if it had to it could be able to fight something for survival because it would be bigger than a sucho it would use its size to try to scare it if not use its deadly giant arms to swipe it away with its claws

torn thistle
lethal salmon
#

it wouldnt be able to eat anything big because it had a duck bill and it would just swallow fish whole most likely

#

so it could kill if forced to but wouldnt be able to eat it

#

so it would either have to sit by a lake challenging the lake for suchos and spinos

oak shale
#

Noice

lethal salmon
#

otherwise on land feeding off of greens

#

so if you look at this way it would still have a tough time to live as a omnivore because it would have to deal with semi aquatics or the land dinos say as trikes pushing it off of the greens

#

or theris

jovial moss
#

I'd love deinocheirus added

lethal salmon
#

so if you think it would somewhat balanced in a sort of sense as a survival/non survival

jovial moss
#

more semi aquatics that aren't just carnivores

#

tbh they could implement it as an herbivore until fish are added and figured out

lethal salmon
#

nvm yes a heron that would be able to eat greens too
but if it had to it could be able to fight something for survival because it would be bigger than a sucho it would use its size to try to scare it if not use its deadly giant arms to swipe it away with its claws, it wouldnt be able to eat anything big because it had a duck bill and it would just swallow fish whole most likely

or theris, so if you think it would somewhat balanced in a sort of sense as a survival/non survival @oak shale

jovial moss
#

They could probably add water plants, like seaweeds and lilypads to encourage competition with lake/river carnivores

#

It'd be nice to go near a water source as an herb and not have to always see spinos/suchos/deinos

#

Shant could also work as a semi-aquatic herb

lethal salmon
#

ok no

#

because then it wouldnt be fair because it would be sticking around lakes 24/7

#

but its a omnivore so no matter what it can sit by a lake and hunt fish otherwise be a land green eating dino

jovial moss
#

What's wrong with an herb sticking around water? theres like 3 carnivores that do it

#

it's not fully aquatic like deino, it can move around on the ground and eat bushes, cuz why not

#

but it can be a good swimmer too

#

and it'd distinguish it from theri, a close relative

lethal salmon
#

theres no problem about it just trying to balance it out so you dont see flocks of deinocheirus around lakes everywhere

#

they need to be spread out

jovial moss
#

maybe they wouldn't be restricted to one type of water source? that way they don't hog every lake or every river, and they can spread out

#

but they can also migrate alright, they're just more comfortable near water

lethal salmon
#

you do have a point

#

there would have to be some certain lakes that have fish

#

or rivers

#

actually no fish would have to be everywhere otherwise it would be a huge semi aquatic war for lakes

mellow maple
#

Shants should have a body bash

#

Think of it like a hipcheck from monster hunter

lethal salmon
#

shant throws its body at a rex falls off cliff

grave karma
#

well, the current shant is 2x heavier than rex

lethal salmon
#

the shant throwing its body at something is like bowling

#

you could hit possible 3 rexes with one body bash

#

and it would possible hurt itself

#

i wouldnt recommend it at all because it could get itself killed doing it

mellow maple

Deinocherius would actually be cool af

literally hypo galli

There are probably better refs for Deinocherius thooo

dondiYikes using Prehistoric Wildlife

#

nasty

barren zephyr
#

@lethal salmon

#

Stop using prehistoric wildlife

#

You are literally bringing massive misinformation by using it here

#

That is EVEN worse

#

atleast Prehistoric Wildlife brings a hump on it

#

and that is even more oversized

lethal salmon
#

this doesnt show grid size but the comparison on a human

#

it still stood 5 meters tall

grave karma
#

each grid is 1 meter

lethal salmon
#

yea i dont get t

still temple
#

duck satan

lethal salmon
#

i dont get why that specific one shows it at ike 3.4 meters

#

i guess because it isnt standing up straight

#

like the picture below

oak shale
#

Lmao wtf

#

3 meters

#

wot is this

lethal salmon
#

the deino is def not 3 meters

oak shale
#

In height

#

the smallest one I mean

lethal salmon
#

yea but this isnt a apex so theres so by the looks in that comparison the deino juvie would be 3 meters

#

which i would nerf in game only because i dont trust that size comparison

grave karma
#

also make deinocheirus spawn pelagornis ai to defend itself when it 4 calls

#

and when hit by it you get swarmed by pelagornis

lethal salmon
#

well you have deinosuchus there

#

and spinos

#

and suchos

#

by the time if it does come out

Did someone @ me then delete it dondiSquint

pseudo falcon
#

@deft musk I agree, but the devs have gone on record saying that it wouldn't be balanced... I still don't see how.

#

weakest dinosaur in the game

#

I just don't know why nesting in burrows would be op for a dryo...

#

Maybe I could agree in the context of a dinosaur that had some sort of relevance to the ecosystem in the game

#

but Dryo? Really?

umbral tartan
#

How dare you call dryo the weakest in the game!

normal fern
#

@pseudo falcon maybe because dryo already requires absolutely no common sense to survive as? Maybe because the devs actually want to make dryo somewhat challenging?

pseudo falcon
#

@normal fern I mean if they wanted that they probably wouldn't have added burrows to begin with.

#

They'd have to leave the burrow for food

pseudo falcon
#

Including the babies / juvies given there's still no way to carry food for herbies

#

@lofty salmon The amount of work that would need to go into properly balancing Shant is honestly not worth it.

lofty salmon
#

Okay ;-;

blazing charm
#

Well, actually that's a bit unfair of me to say, i'lll just expand on what I meant before I log off for the night.

Shant is a stupidly large animal, it's basically a Hadrosaur that tried to be a sauropod, it's this super difficult balancing act of trying to make it strong enough to match its size, without making it too fast to chase things down, WHILE still being able to flee from danger. See where the trouble starts?

#

The role of massive defensive Herbivore feels much more at home with something like Triceratops or Stegosaurus, hadrosaurs aren't built to be fighters. Cept maybe Iguanodon

grave karma
#

so it can kind of be interpreted as a moose (shant) and deer (other hadrosaurs)(?)

blazing charm
#

I suppose.

#

Thing is though, a Moose isn't the size of a house.

barren zephyr
#

@normal fern dryo is a living meme

grave karma
#

im talking more about a massive deer

barren zephyr
#

its not supposed to be taken seriously

blazing charm
#

I get that, but people honestly see Shant as more of an elephant because of the sheer size, speed and raw power back from Progression.

#

It's such a mess to try and balance that it's better off as AI or just not existing at all.

#

But that's just my opinion.

jovial moss
#

I think Shant could be balanced, but it'd need more game mechanics, because at this point everything big is lowkey kind of ridiculous without anything to hinder or help them in match ups

unborn quail
#

Shant is the equivalent to giga of the herbivore world

#

Never been balanced

jovial moss
#

Mid tiers can at least kill shant tho

#

it's not virtually immune to them

mellow maple
#

There's a misconception with hadrosaurs being the group of animals who flee from Tyrannosaurs. Shant puts that idea down because it was supposed to be a massive meat cow. Being by far the largest Ornithischian, how is not built to be a fighter? Hadrosaurs literally mean bulky lizards, and Shant demonstrates that very well. However, I do agree it's way too fast for its own good rn.

#

Also King, Iguanodon isn't a hadrosaur, that's just an ornithopod. It's not within the hadrosaur family kek

grave karma
#

i think jaffad meant shant being the odd one out that was the fighter of the mostly fleeing group

mellow maple
#

At least, not a hadrosaurid specifically.

grave karma
#

but idk what he was thinking so

valid elk
#

So...anyone wanna discuss the spear idea?

barren zephyr
#

no, mercs forever

valid elk
#

I don't think I asked which side you liked more

mellow maple
#

Shantungosaurus would work for survival imo. It takes forever to grow rn but for a good reason. Adults should be tasked with protecting their fresh-spawns and the predators should be targeting them. Not the fresh healthy adults.

#

Hadrosaurs aren't meant to be just fodder to any carni, if that were the case, why are they so widespread throughout the globe. Being fodder doesn't sound like a successful group of animals.

grave karma
#

temporary transportation??? @valid elk

#

what does that mean

valid elk
#

You know in Assassins Creed, when you hunt sharks and whales

#

When you harpoon them, they start to swim away, with you attached, sending you forward

grave karma
#

how could it even be used effectively

valid elk
#

Well, since you can't tame aquatics, hunting them like that would frighten AI animals, maybe even players. You could slam weapons into them to guide then along.

pseudo falcon
#

I think there's way too much concern with balance and not enough about interesting gameplay

mellow maple
#

pseudo falcon
#

I'll just put my hopes in affinity, as the missing piece of the puzzle

mellow maple
#

I just want more dinos in the game.

#

It's why I stick to Sandbox rn

pseudo falcon
#

Fair enough

azure arch
#

TBH

#

Dinos are too loud when walking in the isle

#

It's like the ground beneath them is hollow

#

There shouldn't be so much vibration when a dino around cera sized walks

valid elk
#

A Tyrannosaurus rex weighs somewhere between 7 to 9 tons

#

They had pads on their feet to feel vibrations

#

Pretty sure you'd hear the stomping

granite vigil
#

You don't hear elephants and shit stomping around unless they're running

#

They have pads on their feet to soften their steps so prey wouldn't hear them from 100s of feet away

valid elk
#

True.

grave karma
#

thought you were talking about elephants being predators but then i realized

lethal salmon
#

I guess make the deinocheirus a carnivore that mainly feeds off fish

#

It usually fought tarbosaurus’s so it definitely was a big boy

#

Possibly a bone break if there’s a bore animation since it has no teeth only a beak bite

#

If there’s a bite animation*

#

And the fact that it 25 kmh slow in these stats

#

But I’d say I’m the isle buff the speed put to about 34 kmh atleast

#

Actually nvm about the bone break

#

A bone break and claw attack sounds too unbalanced but still put the speed to about 34 kmh

valid elk
#

It was an omnivore

#

Ate plants and meat

viral creek
#

But the real issue is

#

Do you really want another fisher?

#

Or do you want something different, a semiaquatic herbivore

umbral prairie
#

I think deinocheirus would be cool as an omnivore, eating plants near water and fish, would just be something new.

#

I also think the 'too easy to live as an omnivore' thing is not really the case with deinocheirus

#

if it only eats fish, not other meat

lament kayak
#

how about it can only eat 25% worth of fish

paper oriole
#

Negative/positive affinity based on diet could easily make omnivores viable i think

lament kayak
#

t h e r i

#

thats pretty rad too

paper oriole
#

Theri should be able to spear velos and juvies on their claws and eat them like a kebab

lament kayak
#

That sounds fun

random knoll

@steep pawn how dose poop stop ass rising

#

#

Oof

hoary crater
#

Did you ever get 25kg poop in your face? dondiThink

valid elk
#

Therizinosaurus was strictly a herbivore

#

Pretty sure the kebab thing is impossible

mental sleet
#

I only recall the Coala being one.

#

Deer and such will eat chicks that fall from nests

#

In order to acquire calcium from their bones

#

since calcium doesn't come around often in vegetation

wispy falcon
#

i think it's fine for a video game's sake though that they can only eat plants since eating small creatures isn't always necessary.

#

especially since the isle's not meant to be 100% accurate

mental sleet
#

That's true.

glass furnace
#

Yeah @keen trail but cerato is faster when no ambush

keen trail
#

Not when allo also has ambush

lethal salmon
#

I would say it would say because it’s a omnivore they eat the grass near swamps and if they run out of grass they turn to the fish then a near area or they eat the fish to atleast 50 percent that it’ll get them somewhere if they have to move

#

That’s way too unbalanced I get that it’s a omnivore but it doesn’t heavily have to be sided on herbs

#

It’s beak was made to swallow fish whole and eat herbs

#

And In every picture you’d see it was more likely to be in a river fishing for fish not eating herbs

#

It just doesn’t seem like a herb eating Dino to mean although it can but if it was heavily based on eating herbs it would be way to easy to grow I’d say flip it around and it would only eat herbs to 10 percent food or what ever

#

To me*

#

Because then it would have to fish against suchos deinos and spinos for survival instead of just land bathing for herbs

#

Not saying it’s another semi aquatic fishing animal although historically it most likely is

#

Dino

valid elk
#

Just to remind you guys, Spinosaurus, Baryonyx, Suchomimus, and Austroraptor are all fishing Dinosaurs

#

We have a ton of fishing animals compared to other games

#

And we are going to get a Deinosuchus, which ate fish as well

keen trail
#

Is there a way to walk over tunnels with a lower chance of falling in?

lethal salmon
#

yes as well you do have a point there

#

but deino is a sandbox so its ai most likely wont eat the fish

#

or said to be a sandbox

indigo sun
#

Deino isnt going to be sandbox or ai

#

Dunno where you heard that

#

Its literally called "our first playable aquatic" in the animation preview announcement

lethal salmon
#

yes that can mean both things sandbox either survival

#

but i get what you mean

#

and a lot of people say sandbox dino

#

my personal opinion i dont think it will be a sandbox

indigo sun
#

And i dont see why it would just get thrown in sandbox when the time taken to rework water before its added could give them time to give it a full life cycle if it hasnt got one already.

lethal salmon
#

the cama was thrown into sandbox

#

the pue is a sandbox

indigo sun
#

Cama and pue were never guaranteed to be playable

lethal salmon
#

just because they put time into something

indigo sun
#

And pue's going anyway

lethal salmon
#

does not mean it will automatically be survival

grave karma
lethal salmon
#

im not trying to argue with you just making a point

why would they throw a brand new playable into the sandbox bin

i dont know

or ai

why would they
