Ew no

barren zephyr
#

irl it would break its wrists but i guess it would look good

covert birch
#

Bary better

indigo sun
#

Eh, normal spino isnt as heavy. I dont think it'd need to walk on all fours

rare bramble
#

nO

#

:O

mellow maple
#

Nanotyrannus huh?

barren zephyr
#

this is irritator @rare bramble

covert birch
#

Also spino walkin on fours would look neat so why not I guess

indigo sun
#

Hyper spino is incredibly heavy, makes sense that it cant fully support itself

covert birch
#

But if they dont do it idc

rare bramble
#

it looks... BEAUTIFUL

barren zephyr
#

This that back that idea is dumb spinos kuncles wouldn't support the wait

indigo sun
#

What?

indigo drum
#

Just deleted it was typin outside

torn thistle
indigo drum
#

Didnt see it switch up on me

barren zephyr
#

Also Nanotyrannus is a Juvi T-rex

indigo sun
#

It was said nanotyrannus was a juvi rex ages ago, how are people still believing its an actual thing?

indigo drum
#

Just said. Sorry lol

rare bramble

barren zephyr
#

Well fun fact troodon isn't a thing it's another dinosaur

rare bramble
#

its a group of dinos

#

tehre are different troadons

#

trodaons*

indigo sun
#

You mean troodons?

rare bramble
#

YES

#

whatever :<

Lol

barren zephyr

act your age

rare bramble
#

why should i >:P

latent cave
#

@barren zephyr @indigo sun @covert birch the IRL spino, does not have any bearing on the Isle spino, witch will not be changed based on the real spino

barren zephyr
covert birch
#

Thats why I said it can or cant have 4 legged walk. I wouldn't mind either way

indigo sun
#

Kitsugami i wasnt talking about irl spino

#

I never said anything about irl spino

#

I dont give a fuck about that dumb noodle

latent cave
#

If they wanted to nothing is stoping th for 4 leg spoon walk

covert birch
#

Also kitsu bout your flesh grazing suggestion I like the idea bout flesh grazing but there should never be somethin like permanent punishments imo. Unless the thin causing permanent punishments are self inflicted

indigo sun
#

our spino can hold itself upright. The hyper spino is incredibly heavy, especially because of the extra armor, and thus makes sense to need a quad crouch because it is so incredibly heavy. The normal spino doesnt have all those hundreds of pounds of weight pushing down on its back and would do just fine to hold itself up normally while crouched

#

I dont see a quad crouch for normal spino as necessary

#

The animal would be able to support itself

latent cave
#

@covert birch i offered an alternative for perminant injuries in it

#

I have seval ways to inplament it with out being exploitable

#

In game a few hours not that long, when some dinos take 6+ to grow

covert birch
#

If the alternative when ya say hours would be along the line of acro heal then I still dont think it would be good. Healing should never take longer than an hour imo

#

Especially with danger AI comim

#

Who will prolly attacked weakened players

latent cave
#

Do not use current acro as an example for anything but failure

indigo sun
#

Taking a few hours to heal is badx regardless of acro

latent cave
#

I know..

#

Acro was a highly successful Apex irl...

covert birch
#

I used current acro as the best way to describe extremely long healing times. Which seems to be similar to what ya were suggestion

indigo sun
#

I dont give a shit about acro

latent cave
#

Ingame its everyones bitch

indigo sun
#

Acro does not matter

indigo drum
indigo sun
#

The thing i take issue with is the long healing

latent cave
#

It should not take that long to heal as a acro, its not even in game since its not a proper balenced dino

indigo sun
#

I DONT CARE ABOUT ACRO

covert birch
#

We ain't talking bout acro

#

I just mentioned acro as an example of long healing

indigo sun
#

Acro does not matter for the third time

covert birch
#

And how its bad

indigo drum
#

Can y'all be nice to one another. No need to get all puffy about it.

indigo sun
#

Healing for so long fucking sucks is the point

covert birch
#

Long healing is the issue here not acro itself

sage helm
#

Long healings bad acro or not

potent sparrow
#

@empty dove you mean the spectator thing?

latent cave
#

But yes getting wounds from chunks being riped out of you would and should feel like curret acro healing or worse, it should take a long time to heal from such things or else its explotable for infanate food

covert birch
#

Long healing like that would just ruin gameplay for the hurt player

empty dove
#

@potent sparrow yes

indigo sun
#

Okay and did you stop to think about the people who are in no way trying to be exploited and just want to play the game?

covert birch
#

Only time healing like that should be implemented is when it's their own faultt

potent sparrow
#

Does it not stop in-game?

indigo drum
#

Only lord knows what dondi does with Acro. Its being redone. Besides that it's not Viable for any examples just like Theri too long to heal. No one would wanna sit healing for hours. Everyone that I met having to heal long periods of time lose their minds in the mean time

#

Most would likely die.

indigo sun
#

At that point honestly just kill the person then cause i'm probably just gonna throw myself off the nearest ledge and regrow rather than wait a bullshit amount of time to heal

slow snow
#

Imagine having dilos just run across at night to take a chunk and fuck you over for hours

covert birch
#

People will just try to suicide and ruin peoples gameplay by forcin em to sit for hrs and heal off any damage down with that

#

There used to be kamikazee dilo packs

indigo drum
#

Yea to finally stop bleeding to be in 4th screen for another Thousand years only to die to anything that sneezes in you

covert birch
#

Why wouldnt people use this here

indigo sun
#

If you know that acro and whatever's healing is bullshit then why the shit would you want it to happen to other dinosaurs too??

latent cave
#

But the wounds as i also said wounds would euther lower stam in a simular way to new bleed system or max hp, so if you had 5000 hp but were attacked by a giga and lost 500 max hp then got attacked by a cerato and went down to like 2500 you would heal the 2000 eather fast but yoir max hp lowered to 4500 would take time to heal simular to leg break so you gradulynregain your max hp

potent sparrow
#

Heal time in general should take no longer than the time it takes to heal bone break. The purpose of taking damage is during a fight. If you take too long to heal you're screwed in the next fight

indigo drum
#

Over all wouldn't be good game play.

slow snow
#

Medium carnis gonna be the move for trolling

indigo sun
#

That puts the player at a constant disadvantage while theyre healing

indigo drum
#

Most would not go or deal with it

slow snow
#

Yea long heal times suck

#

herds gonna get screwed over

indigo sun
#

I. Would literally just kill my dino then

#

Regrow rather than deal with that bullshit

indigo drum
#

Same because gonna die anyways

slow snow
#

herds are just gonna get hit one after another until they lose so much max health they might as well be dead

covert birch
#

^

potent sparrow
#

Or maybe eating can cure you faster idk

#

Unless thats a thing

indigo sun
#

It is not fair to other players to be put at a disadvantage for a super long time while everyone else is fine, kistugami

slow snow
#

Fast growing Dinos gonna be even worse trolls

latent cave
#

If flesh grazers could take chunks out of dinos ro eat with out killinh them then they would have an insentive to keep them alive and let them heal and just feed off them forever, like wise a pue could just feed a ton of allosaurids forever

covert birch
#

Now imagine this

#

What if the pue was a player

#

He would feel like shit. Oh i cant kill these guys cuz they too fast or heal the damage they do to me

#

Ill just suicide

latent cave
#

.... pues can kill anything ease just by moving

slow snow
#

yea I mean it’d look cool but the actual mechanic is atrocious

#

Pue is not the only example

covert birch
#

Any large herbis can work

#

From trike to brachi

slow snow
#

trikes boutta get as much max health as dryo

indigo sun
#

Youre punishing players

#

Players who did nothing wrong

#

That is not fair to those players

slow snow
#

yea just gonna be a troll mechanic

indigo sun
#

People would just abuse the shit out of that and fuck players over

#

It has been ten minutes, dude. what are you typing?

latent cave
#

Having gigas or allos eat half your body weight of four flesh and you just healing that off in under an hour for them to do it again makes no since, but having less stam or max hp for a while is not that bad considering smaller dinos wpuld not even have to worry as if they got hurt that bad they would be dead, and dinos that would survive being partialy eaten alive by allos or giga take hours to grow, if it worked like leg break with ticks that ware off over time, so say an giga takes out a chunk of you and you loose 500 ticks of max hp, you heal the damage and bleed with 500 less max hp and then every few min you regain 10 of your max hp, for larger dinos this would have very little effect unless facing apex, or if you let a few giga eat you, in witch case your probaly die already unless you are something that toom like 4 or 5 hours to grow, in witch case you would heal from having most of yourbody eaten in like 2 hours or so rather then dieing or healing in 10 min like nothing happened

finite elm
#

I sorta like the idea of grazing but that adds a whole host of problems. It needs to be really well thought out to be implemented properly.

latent cave
#

@haughty orbit do you know how they hunt saura pods? They are all flesh grazers, idk about allos killing large saurapods rather they just take chunks out to eat ususly not killing it, however acros would follow them over longtimes taking chunk after chunk till they were so badly injured they would die

#

I do think acro and giga should be able to hunt them but not in such a way where take lessndamge from them but get aim assisted for saurapods to hit them

paper oriole
#

giga can already hunt camara

latent cave
#

Cama is simular size as giga, in game talking about large ones

paper oriole
#

also wouldnt it make their resistance against sauropods redundant if sauropods also dealt more damage to them? best to just leave it to the skill of the player rather than adding stupid species immunity

latent cave
#

Or aim assist agginst certain species...

#

Thats even weirder

#

Giga and arco are already easier to hit cuz their size

hard perch
#

yall need to condense your suggestions.

latent cave
#

The other day the admins said its too much work to do vauge ideas and only fleshed out suggestions would be considered

hard perch
#

haha if they want to do all that reading...

paper oriole
#

tbh i'd rather not be forced into the godawful looking nightvision we have rather than have it on toggle

haughty orbit
#

@latent cave I see your point, I’m just being a bit of an optimist as not all ideas are good ones, but not all are bad ones either. I’m just brainstorming for fun, no one has to take these seriously, and I thank you for your input

slow snow
#

Can we stop with flesh grazing. It’s a terrible mechanic

#

If it gets implemented I’m never gonna play a large herbi

blazing charm
#

I mean, it's mostly for Sauropods, isn't it?

#

If its for other creatures, literally all it is getting dealt with alot of bleed and the Giga gets some food out of it.

#

Not a big deal to me, personally.

covert birch
#

Imo flesh grazing could work as a passive instead grapple type ability. Make it so biting sauros gives ya like 2-5% food after ya bite em a certain amount of times or somethin like that. Bigger the sauro the higher the %

#

But making it so the thing being bitten has to take hours to heal seems like a way to just stop people from playin that dino

slow snow
#

Having to heal for hours is not fun

#

Look at stuff like shant or theri

#

It’s terrible being in a herd and getting injured

finite elm
#

Maybe as a side note since you guys are discussing it flesh grazing could only work if youre hitting the body and only sometimes. If youre a type of dinosaur with flesh grazing you have a chance of getting a flesh graze instead of a bone break to the ribs.

#

Or a pounce only works to aiming for the body. Adds a little bit of nuance to combat.

wise knot
#

Hmmmm. I just found a perfect idea, for Shantungosaurus (Maybe).

valid zephyr
#

I'd rather the males had larger but more rounded plates, and the females had thinner more pointed ones.

barren zephyr
#

@valid zephyr I see you point

#

Like this?

valid zephyr
#

similar idea for both.

#

the male plates would cover more area but just be less pointy

barren zephyr
#

I do agree with you but as the situation looks like now. We only have 2 options that doesn’t include spiky females

valid zephyr
#

Yea one seems to be larger and more pointed

#

rather than larger and rounded

#

I think the top section of the plates has basically just been cut off for the female model.

barren zephyr
#

So I’ll definitely prefer my suggestion, only because large plates would suit the males better then females

ebon tiger
#

that pic is for Hesperosaurus btw, the one with red plates

#

but it's reasonable to assume something similar went on with other stegosaurs

barren zephyr
#

Sorry, I’m a slow writer😅

mild token
#

I see the round one as a female much more, and the pointy one as a male.
I can't really see why it would be the other way.

valid zephyr
#

females don't look 'softer' in every species

oblique sluice
#

@mild token Pounce should be a high dmg, high cost skill

mild token
#

never said that

oblique sluice
#

Otherwise can be pretty unbalanced

indigo sun
#

It could very much be the other way around

valid zephyr
#

the rounded larger plates cover more area and are better for display

#

than the thin pointed ones

barren zephyr
#

@valid zephyr Trex would be a species (in my opinion) where the female is larger but not stegosaurus

valid zephyr
#

I mean size differences arn't being done at all as it's being kept visual only

#

which imo is a good thing

oblique sluice
#

^

barren zephyr
#

@valid zephyr I agree

mild token
#

@oblique sluice I didn't make my suggestion for nothing, but watching a clip that shows how much stam you lose from a single pounce, and then when holding another dino down.
It need to be fixed somehow to make things better.

oblique sluice
#

Uh, i know?

valid zephyr
#

I do think the male should have physically larger plates. I just like the rounded look for them as it provides more surface area for colours.

mild token
#

If not liking it come up with a better suggestion.

oblique sluice
#

You talk like if i talked shit about your suggestion

mild token
#

?

#

how?

barren zephyr
#

@valid zephyr yeah I would prefer that as well but if they aren’t gonna fix it. I’m still on my idea

oblique sluice
#

Pounce should have a pretty high stam cost (can change when things are further and we talk about balance with other creatures)

mild token
#

Should I add how I'm talking/speaking?

oblique sluice
#

If pounce had a low cost, or another stam bar

#

Utah player wouldn't be careful about their general stam use

valid zephyr
#

yeah if the models stay as is i'd rather the larger pointed plates went to the male stego. I just think the larger ones should be the rounded ones.

oblique sluice
#

So you have utah running everywhere and pouncing everything without basically any cost

#

You want to pounce correctly and be a great Utah? Use your stam wisely

covert birch
#

Pounce should be something you think before using so ya can plan out how much stan ya use. If it had a sep stam bar then itll be too easy

oblique sluice
#

^

mild token
#

I wasn't only thinking on utha alone, I thought on Rex and other creators if biting will cost stam.

oblique sluice
#

We don't know about that

#

Tbh i doubt it will

#

Maybe if devs decide to give a grab to rex so it pulls something in the ground dealing high dmg with stam cost

mild token
#

Right now if a rex use all it's stam it must sit down to get it back, and that's kinda sad.

#

Standing still is another way to rest.

paper oriole
#

why do people say utha

oblique sluice
#

All stats will change with recode, so that will change most likely too

vestal rune
#

I forgot people say utha

oblique sluice
#

But i'm fine with rex the way it is now

vestal rune
#

I'm really glad it's getting a name change

oblique sluice
#

I doubt the name change is a thing anymore

paper oriole
#

and why cant i add reaction to his suggestion lol does he have me blocked or something

vestal rune
#

fairly sure it still is? why would they change their mind

paper oriole
#

when utah gets a name change all the people calling it utha will call it onva instead

vestal rune
#

holy fuck

#

they totally will

oblique sluice
#

I don't remember wich dev asked why would it change

#

Like, 1-2 months ago

#

i think richard or bryan, but anyway

#

We know utahraptor barely looks like irl, but a change name would give more problems than fixes

vestal rune
#

what problems?

oblique sluice
#

Problems about dinosaurs wich barely looks like their irl counter too

#

Such like spino, or troodon who doesn't even exist anymore

vestal rune
#

troodon isn't an issue, in fact it not existing just gives them a free pass to do what they want

#

and spino has most of the unique traits that make spino, spino, utah doesn't

oblique sluice
#

Thats true about troodon tho

#

I mean, i like the fact about some fictional creatures such like Novaraptor and i like the name

#

Just lacks a bit of consistency with other animals, imo

#

But its something about i don't really care about

#

As the joker from above said, ppl will name it onvadondiLUL

paper oriole
#

Oviraptor has been talked about a lot, I hope Anzu or Citipati (larger than OG oviraptor) makes it in

vestal rune
#

anzu is certainly big enough

paper oriole
#

it would be a good dino to fit in the small tier with utah and galli

shell willow
#

anzu is big enough

rocky iris
#

to reply to #401481402782056460 @maiden matrix I feel like the round plates are more fitting for female stegos cause soft and motherly. Females don't necessarily need sharp pointy plates like males who would use them as a mating display or threat display. To each their own tho.

maiden matrix
#

Irl it was the opposite, males had round plates to attract mates while females had sharp ones to defend their young (I believe anyway) @rocky iris

rocky iris
#

Unless it was an oops it might've been something I never heard of tbh :0

maiden matrix
rocky iris
#

But idk XD I respect your opinion~ I just think females look cute with it rounded

maiden matrix
#

Im sure itll look fine either way! I just like accuracy

barren zephyr
#

how do they even know what a male and female stego is

#

time machine?

rocky iris
#

I don't blame you~

#

I like the artistic interpretation these guys do with everything

#

It might be like males had more blood vessels in the plates where females didn't and they might've been able to tell that way, or it was just theoretical guesses who knows

oak marsh
#

Ay dunno if this was addressed because I can’t read but @rocky iris

#

Bryan confirmed that it was kept that way because they figured an apex fully crouching would be useless, (since you’re easily seen anyway, especially a spino with its sail) it’s kind of like more of a focused ambush stance :0

rocky iris
#

Yeah that's why I made the edit XD I'll fix it if my edit sounds confusing.

#

I wasn't made aware that they were reworking the entire crouch until I heard about it from a friend in DM~

#

So it made more sense plus after looking at the chat with what Bryan said, I do agree with the crouch looking weird on big dinos xD

oak marsh
#

Oh no worries ur good, I wondered myself about it but that explanation makes more sense

jade schooner
#

the ambush would be the run, this movement should be considered a "stalking" position

rocky iris
#

i agree but they probably wanna keep consistency with animation names to lessen confusion

covert birch
#

@tender bear personally i feel like diff dinos should have different forms of burrowing. Like for dryo it would keep its current burrwo but be able to connect em, for taco have a burrow that spirals downwards letting it eat roots n stuff, or giving ava a burrow similar to that of warthog. This would give each burrowing dino different uses for the burrows and also strengthen weaker dinos mainly being ava/taco

tender bear
#

thats also a good idea

#

just that empty oval burrows gets.. idk

covert birch
#

Wait lemme get my suggestion for ya its much more fledged out

tender bear
#

think it would be cooler and more realistic if it was tighter with more tunnels and length and such

covert birch
#

It was made for copy pastin into discord so expect lots of ***

#

But personally i love varied dino unique stuff like burrows instead of everyone do waht they want. Gives more thought into picking what dino ya wanna be

tender bear
#

yeah

#

I like that

#

I also love the taco root eating thing

covert birch
#

Makes taco not have to leave he burrow and die to any carni XD

#

at least for a while

tender bear
#

i also think that eating plants should give herbis small amounts of moisture

#

im sure that will be added

covert birch
#

Roots can do the most, fruits 2nd most

#

current plants least

tender bear
#

because even if u look at modern day animals that is the case

#

my bearded dragon almost never drinks

#

he gets all of his moisture from fruits and greens

covert birch
#

But if they do that they should also force more migration

barren zephyr
#

mums should be able to pick up hatchlings

covert birch
#

Filipe said that would be hard to do so i doubt theyll do it for a long time

barren zephyr
#

lol it's fine, i just need to keep these little utahs away from the big bad dinos

covert birch
#

@brittle fossil the whole idea is to use your stam intelligently when pouncing something. Know how much to use and when. And not make utah the easiest dino to play

brittle fossil
#

Understandable but already when you pounce, you have 490 stam left

#

490-500 something cant remember

covert birch
#

It gets rid of half of your stam

#

SO around that yea

#

liek 500

#

Either way each bite after uses 100 stam

#

so if ya do 2 bites that leaves 30% stam left ot escape which is plenty

brittle fossil
#

I feel like it should have alittle more stam left but fair enough

#

Because most players will chase you down due to the low stam

covert birch
#

Which is the idea

brittle fossil
#

But aye

covert birch
#

Choose damage or escapability

#

Pounce imo seems like a good use for a killer move

#

Instead of use it throughout /start of fight

brittle fossil
#

Yee, like whenever they have screen 3 and screen 4, you pounce em

covert birch
#

yep exactly that

languid crown
#

Those are values to make sure the systems working properly

#

If they gave infinite Stam they wouldn't know if it cancelled when Stam runs out

#

These numbers allow quick testing to stop bugs

#

The numbers are placeholders for when they begin to balance everything

covert birch
#

It could be that too but since utah seems practically complete after what dondi and bryan said today

#

It could be its actual stats

#

so thats more of a wait till recodes out thing

brittle fossil
#

Yeah

languid crown
#

Why would they stat it now? They still need to make half the systems such as bleed and how damage is calculated

#

All the stats are set to 1000 so it's pretty default

covert birch
#

The systems are copy-pastable based on what they have said previously. Also again we dont know till it actually happens so it can be an either/or

#

@small delta yes we will, also that aint the place to ask that

covert birch
#

@cosmic palm rng in stats are always a bad idea imo. Imagine getting nested in and being fucked over cuz ya had bad rng.

#

Also survival of the fittest should apply to how well a player can do not how well the dino is statwise

cosmic palm
#

It doesn't need to be so that u cant play without good rng. A smart player should still be able to outplay a player with better stats

covert birch
#

Even the slightest stat changes can have the huge negative effects. Like for example rex bb rn

#

THe rng for rex bb with the whole weight system in it makes it a massive pain in the ass.

#

Also i see this as a way for people to try to minmax their dinos with best possible stats. Or could create balance issues when making the roster.

cosmic palm
#

I get your point

#

My issue was that since all the stats are available, if ur a good player and know what u have to do, you'll know that there are very few outcomes from an encounter.

covert birch
#

Well stats will be changing with recode so everyone gettin fresh slate

cosmic palm
#

Im sure thatll change

covert birch
#

Well itll change after time but even then everyone will be able to learn

#

Plus we aint gonna have another reocde style drought of updates

cosmic palm
#

Even having the slightest doubt in the back of someone's mind does wonder to a survival game

covert birch
#

there will be semicommon updates to spice things up

#

Includin new dinos and all that which can change peckin orders and such

#

So nothin would stay the same for long imo

cosmic palm
#

True

paper oriole
#

If we get varying stats they should be in the players' control. IE a giga who spent a lot of time AFK while growing would end up with worse stats than a giga who grew moving around and hunting. Living off of weak AI and juvies will give you lower stats than hunting larger prey

last adder
#

@sour folio That would just encourage people to sit in a bush and AFK grow

lofty sundial
#

dont @ devs chief.

sour folio
#

@last adder you aren’t gonna stop people from doing it. Since most servers require discord for their rules it is frustrating to lose sound when swapping back and forth when I don’t have a multi monitor setup.

last adder
#

It would still encourage it though, which is the opposite of what the devs want

covert birch
#

I feel like that can be added when the devs figure out a solution to afk growin

finite elm
#

Anyone have some good suggestions to incentivize more people to play Herb? Because these ecosystems be fukt lol

paper oriole
#

I should write up a google doc on all my crappy herbi ideas maybe some of them are good lol

indigo sun
#

@wide forge water exploitation wont even exist in a few months

wide forge
#

Until then, it still matters.

#

If you're able to be banned for it, put it in the rules until such a time it isn't necessary.

#

Which I only say because I checked the rules to see if it was okay, didn't see anything about it there, and chilled out in the water as a sucho until there was an in-game mod alert. :V

#

(I wasn't sure if it was a rule for officials or a Nychta/semireal rule, so I figured it was just a nychta one.)

indigo sun
#

It's in the message of the day already im pretty sure but i suppose if it's that big of a deal they could change it

wide forge
#

I can't bring up the motd while I'm playing, I'm pretty sure?

indigo sun
#

You can see it as soon as you join the server at least and check when you get in the server

#

I couldve sworn there was some way to bring up the motd but that mightve been another gsme

wide forge
#

Ah, yeah, I've been in the server for a while.

barren zephyr
#

Going back to the cyrolophosarus, what if it had infrared night vision to set it apart from other dinos? It would be short range and only lasted for a limited amount of time. That would set the dino apart.

warped harbor
#

@dark bronze Players getting punished by being smaller than normal by RNG isn't going to be a thing

#

The closest you'll get is when dinosaurs reach their average size and then start slowly growing to their maximum documented size

vestal rune
#

@sour folio the problem with that is that it get rids of alot of skill

#

you can just all dogpile onto a prey item without coordination

Thats how it would have been back in real life. Dinos weren't spazzes.

vestal rune
#

this isn't about real life, this is about gameplay

sour folio
#

I mean to a degree, maybe a cap on how many can bite at teh same time.

vestal rune
#

plus in real life dinos likely didn't pack hunt at all

safe galleon
#

so dinos didn't bite eachother?

vestal rune
#

ye and that

safe galleon
sour folio
#

Utahs didnt pack hunt? lol

#

Dinos did pack hunt

safe galleon
#

like merch said (and lets back on topic) it would get rid of skill and be abused

sour folio
#

Dinos likely didnt kill bite each other in attacking a prey. @safe galleon

safe galleon
#

no ofc members of same pack didn't

#

but

sour folio
#

I'm just looking to introduce more realism. Now that physics will come into play you're going to have issues if people cant bite run through.

safe galleon
#

so if you bite where your packmate is it wouldn't hurt them?

#

that would totally be abused

sour folio
#

Sure, but the bites in the game are not accurate. And it should only apply based on proximity.

safe galleon
#

also if dinos of the same pack did bite eachother irl they would get hurt

sour folio
#

So it bites what it closer to you, is what I'm saying.

safe galleon
#

still

#

would get abused

#

@drowsy wren fish is planed for the game

drowsy wren
#

ooh okie

safe galleon
#

and what do you mean with nicknames?

drowsy wren
#

like, be able to change names.

#

Er, in game like names

safe galleon
#

but why not just change your steam name?

drowsy wren
#

idk maybe some dont want to..?

indigo sun
#

If you take the time to coordinate with your pack like actual pack animals then you wont be biting each other.

#

You can minimize the risk on your own.

vestal rune
#

zeniff we have very little evidence of pack hunting

#

most is mob

@eternal skiff i dont mind sleeping as an aesthetic mechanic or something that isn't a huge deal, but I absolutely abhor the idea of sitting in one place increasing growth. It only encourages AFKing which is the opposite of what Dondi wants for this game. At most for sleep there should be faster stamina regeneration but nothing to do with growth for such a mechanic.

eternal skiff
#

Ye now that i think about it that wouldnt work lol

Playable AI dinosaurs in survival :
This would make the game more interesting I personally believe that being able to roam the map while being this small creature would be interesting. It would make for fun and chill gameplay and wouldn't be a problem since most people would consider it a bad dinosaur. Now I do realise that they are AI as well as Velociraptors/Compsognathus and Avaceratops. But having one of the AI dinosaurs as playable would be fun. Imagine for example a whole little pack of Velociraptors sprinting through the highgrass running from a Troodon. I personally find this a little thing to consider.

@red monolith this game isnt set 65 million years ago though.. its set in the present day.

oh yeah forgot about that

#

Please I’m begging and howling no more species that are basically identical to current playables

paper oriole
#

I don't think there should be a hard limit on dino populations, I think natural competition and the challenge of growing (especially for apexes) should naturally limit overpopulations

last meadow
#

@thorny lynx that's the current animation we have for trike, i'd reccomend judging the new one instead of the one we got currently (or atleast the new juvi run, might be different from new adult one)

thorny lynx
#

This trike run looks slightly different.

#

Why would Bryan post a current animation with growth?

#

It's different. I just checked. But the left leg is still wonky at another frame.

last meadow
#

bryan posted growth with current animation since iirc he used it to show to kissen that growth doesn't mess with the animation

who ever said rex and speen were becoming AI?

thatd be shit

Aren't all dinos getting the quick/alt turn?

middle of a fight with a pack of dilos, game suddenly decides you shouldn't see them

I wonder if they’ll keep realistic croc angles

Like crocs on land can’t do shit if you approach them dead from the front

covert birch
barren zephyr
#

That's not a permanent change. So doesn't resolve anything. But thanks for your input

covert birch
#

Well if more people try out small dinos and enjoy em. Then theyll want to play it less then big bois

#

Which overall would lower apex pop.

#

Not only that but since the reason we have so many apexs is cuz apexs are very easily afk grown and they making afk growing take 2-3x longer than actual growth itll also help it out

barren zephyr
#

People will play what they want at the end of the day. But yes not allowing apexs in the beginning does make it harder to grow them later. But still not a long term solution. But maybe the reduced afk growing will resolve it enough, who knows

patent spade
#

yes let my dino that I have been growing or playing for weeks just suddenly get fukt by all manner of bullshit disadvantages just cause a lot of ppl want to play the same dino as me

#

sounds like a great mechanic

little tendon
#

im ok with sandbox having 100s of apexes cause...its sandbox. but survival should make growing apexes a pain in the ass so there isint 30 of them killing echother

covert birch
#

Well with combination of dangerous AI, people being forces to start with smaller dinos day 1 of recode, and nerfed afk growing apexs will be much rarer. Also dont forget how large the new map is so you'll be running into em less to

Hey what do u guys think what for a graphiccard do u need for the nem Hope map??

ebon tiger
#

@fluid comet i think that vid is of alligators performing a mating call display

lofty sundial

Mating calls are done within the water.

#

but if that is a mating call, its totally fine to use the noise.

fluid comet
#

Yeah what trikkel said
Not suggesting mating but only the noise

@serene jasper #general-feedback isnt the channel to asks questions...its to make suggestions

#

@mystic parcel i cant add question into Ask a dev .. so where i can place it?

mystic parcel
#

@serene jasper you can try and ask on #401464048610312195 when the devs are talking in it but dont @ them. heres a smol answer for yer question tho, the new map will probably have less amount of ppl able to play on it than it currently is on v3. of course im not 100% sure and no one will know for sure until the game is out.

barren zephyr
#

@empty dove Dev kit is planned to be readded

#

we just dont know when

barren zephyr
#

@dense shuttle doesnt pachy 1 shot herra? and.. utah too?

dense shuttle
#

not utah]

#

it does to herrera tho

barren zephyr
#

yeah so... i feel like pachy should do maybe 7-10 bone break on utah
maybe 5ish to cerato and 7 to bary

dense shuttle
#

.

#

why

#

delete it pls

#

and i might make it my pfp

dense shuttle
#

ok im not

barren zephyr
#

We don't care

#

:3

cyan yew
#

if im not mistaken they had diffrent patterns and more colors earlier before they removed alot of things^^

barren zephyr
#

._.

indigo sun
#

different patterns can be done in the future

barren zephyr
#

but why would we need it tho

#

like

#

rn i am only looking forward to the recode

indigo sun
#

more customization and species variation

barren zephyr
#

and

indigo sun
#

theres no issue with having some more differences between species

barren zephyr
#

it should basicly just be sexual dimorphism

cyan yew
#

to make alot of diffrent dinos running around and all looking the same with some diffrent colors only

barren zephyr
#

._:

indigo sun
#

im pretty sure it's even planned to have some extra skins and patterns, it's just fred cant do them right now because he's busy working on the skins for new animals

barren zephyr
#

yeh

#

so kinda like subspecies?

cyan yew
#

yes

barren zephyr
#

.-. uhhh

#

what would it make kind of differense

cyan yew
#

there is 4 species of utahs actually

#

to make the world more living

barren zephyr
#

yeah but

#

we will have like 30 animals when the devs are "done" at the last recode patch

#

so i dont realy think we would need it

cyan yew
#

u almost know every kind of dino patterns in game noone look very diffrent from eachother and they should

barren zephyr
#

._.

#

should they tho?

indigo sun
#

i see absolutely no issue having some inter-species variation. not all animals look exactly the same, and the devs have said theres no issues with making more skins. fred's a god

cyan yew
#

nice

indigo sun
#

why are you so against something literally so trivial?

barren zephyr
#

well

indigo sun
#

it doesnt change anything, just adds a bit more customization to the game

barren zephyr
#

i just find it unnececary

#

they will need some slightly different calls

cyan yew
#

sounds like u never studied dinosaurs before Daltonius

barren zephyr
#

i have but

#

look at modern animals and say if they all look diferent

lilac swallow
#

Why they would need different calls?

barren zephyr
#

:l

indigo sun
#

its not like it's a clone dino or some shit that does nothing different but still costs $7000 to add. it's something that's incredibly easy to do according to dondi

barren zephyr
#

yeh tru tru

cyan yew
#

there is tons of diffrents dog species

lilac swallow
#

Is just painting a dino

barren zephyr
#

bruh...

indigo sun
#

fred can easily make different patterns for dinosaurs

barren zephyr
#

i was fine with the subspecies but i dont realy feel like the same species should have diferent colors

indigo sun
#

changing stripes to spots and making mottled patterns is not a huge deal. it's incredibly simple

barren zephyr
#

paterns*

#

:l

indigo sun
#

how does it affect your gameplay if someone has a different pattern than you?

barren zephyr
#

.-.

indigo sun
#

it's just variation within a species

slow stream
#

it's actually patterns

cyan yew
#

for example big pack dinos are often getting bored because all 10-15 of them look the same with diffrent colors only

barren zephyr
#

uhhhh

#

alpha?

#

how does that get them "bored"

slow stream
#

different coloring can allow for many more variation

#

and maybe even allow for better camoflauge

indigo sun
#

its not like someone is 10% stronger than you with the different pattern or another person in 20% faster or slower.
patterns are easy to do. they don't actually affect gameplay at all and are a fun customization option. theres no need for new calls if there's literally just different details. and yes, like drakon said, certain patterns can even be better used for camo in different areas

#

why are you insisting this simple addition is such a huge deal?

barren zephyr
#

bruh we have gone from subspecies to this

indigo sun
#

it's literally so easy

barren zephyr
#

i said

#

sub species would need new calls

#

or atleast just slight variations

cyan yew
#

and all in all make the game/world fell more alive

#

feel*

indigo sun
#

different patterns dont mean we need subspecies

barren zephyr
#

.-.

#

we were talking bout sub species

indigo sun
#

the original suggestion was literally only about patterns and some variation in species

cyan yew
#

sry but it just sounds like ure against everything i say

barren zephyr
#

uhh i am not

cyan yew
#

and yes was about colors and patternes

indigo sun
#

in fact i dont see any mention of subspecies in the conversation until you startedbringing it up

#

we're not saying there should be subspecies

barren zephyr
#

i literaly asked "like sub species"

#

and you said "yes"

#

:l

indigo sun
#

literally just more customization options

barren zephyr
#

i am very confused now

#

:l

cyan yew
#

yes they are known as sub species in RL but its not a diffrent kind of animal

barren zephyr
#

uhhhhhhhhhh

#

wut

#

i mean it technycaly is a diferent species but....

#

:l

indigo sun
#

okay back to the core of the suggestion: different patterns within a species, like choosing stripes or spots for a utahraptor

cyan yew
#

but thats wasn't the point the point was getting more colors ( maybe for eyes as well) and patterns and little diffrences like the hair on the heads for more enjoyable costmization

barren zephyr
#

i liked that idea but i thought it was kinda unnecesary otherwise cool

cyan yew
#

yes Nines^^

barren zephyr
#

so alpha do you mean like what p.o.t have done

indigo sun
#

"unneccessary" is territories and stuff, things that require a lot of effort when it doesnt actually do anything. This is literally just something incredibly simple and easy to add.

barren zephyr
#

yeah true

#

but

#

the hecc why would someone change their eyes?

indigo sun
#

animals have different eye colors

barren zephyr
#

s'not like reptiles or birds does that, in between species i mean

indigo sun
#

i could see something like what wolfquest has with its sliders that allow you to change the amount of brown/whatever color and darkness/lightness of the color

#

its not hard to do, and animals do have variation in their eyes

barren zephyr
#

huh

indigo sun
#

not every animal has the same eyes

barren zephyr
#

but now arkosaurs do

#

like birds and crocs

#

and probably

#

dinosaurs

cyan yew
#

just hope the devs see the point then they are the one that have to make things fascinating after all^^

barren zephyr
#

doesnt make any sense but honestly now logic have never been in this game

#

alpha did ya get this idea from p.o.t with the "eye" part of it

indigo sun
#

actually things like owls and stuff where you can see the iris have variation in their eyes, ranging from darker to lighter shades. its not huge varation but the variation exists

cyan yew
#

what is p.o.t?

barren zephyr
#

path of titans

indigo sun
#

path of titans

cyan yew
#

don't know what it is

barren zephyr
#

:l

#

dino game

#

simular to the isle

cyan yew
#

ohh iv only played the isle

barren zephyr
#

they have a cool spinosaur

#

and

#

daspletosaurus

#

:l

#

no?

#

well

#

the two pictures you showed in sugestions was sexual dimorphism

indigo sun
#

the two pictures shown were an example of different patterns that could be had

barren zephyr
#

yeah... true

#

:l

cyan yew
#

well if we'r done with this discussion no more using this chat

indigo sun
#

not a single thing was said about sexual dimorphism in that suggestion and that was never the point of showing those pictures

cyan yew
#

right Nines^^

barren zephyr
#

well nah but...

#

:L

#

true

cyan yew
#

Dal ure making this suggestion way longer then i have to be

indigo sun
#

so do you just put faces when you have no idea how to respond? i feel like theres no actual point being made with what you say. youre just trying to say why something isnt a good idea without actually saying anything useful to your argument

#

species variation exists/

#

even in eye colors with birds and reptiles

#

it would be so incredibly easy to add

barren zephyr
#

yeah but just coleration inbetween the same color

indigo sun
#

theres literally no reason not to have it

#

that's still changing eye color

barren zephyr
#

like diferent shades of yellow or orange

indigo sun
#

theres still noticeable differences

barren zephyr
#

shouldnt have completly diferent colours of the eyes

#

neither about the body

#

the isle aint realistic thats how ima say it

indigo sun
#

so you're... using realism as your argument and then going completely against your point by saying the isle isnt realistic?

barren zephyr
#

there is often 2 sorts of way animals look

cyan yew
#

if u don't like it just stop arguing with us about it

barren zephyr
#

either a large diferense between the males and females

indigo sun
#

i'm pretty sure varied patterns are planned anyway in the future

barren zephyr
#

or no diferense

cyan yew
#

i made a suggestion, u don't like it fair enough, then move on

barren zephyr
#

yeh

indigo sun
#

"this is how animals look in nature"
"but the isle isnt natural or realistic"

barren zephyr
#

sure

indigo sun
#

you have no proper argument at all

barren zephyr
#

exactly

#

i said that they were looking like this irl but the isle aint realistic so i dont have a say in that

cyan yew
#

-_-'

#

clearly u had alot of saying in it, the way i see it

barren zephyr
#

yeh

cyan yew
#

yes done with this disscussion

barren zephyr
#

yep

indigo sun
#

@barren zephyr ??

barren zephyr
#

?

indigo sun
barren zephyr
#

Oh that

#

Sorry I didn't see the chat I put it in

#

It was ment for a ssrver

indigo sun
#

ah alright

rapid star
#

@cyan yew, it's a good suggestion and it would most likely end up being realistic when many players choose to be camouflaged like the environment they inhabit. Dal literally has no actual argument and just wants to be negative.

barren zephyr
#

i take offense to that

rapid star
#

I don't care

cyan yew
#

thx dragon^^

barren zephyr
#

sad negative noise

rapid star
#

In real life, animal coloration is made by adaptation to their situation. Well, we don't have the option to have animals pass alleles through sexual reproduction, so it makes way more sense to give players a large amount of power of coloration.

I think you'll find it will start to look exactly how it would in real life: animals who don't have to fear death will be less likely to be camouflaged perfectly, while animals that have to be able to hide will be camouflaged.

cyan yew
#

yes that's why we need strong colors as well in RL its used to scare potential predators away or make them think ure poisonous ^^

rapid star
#

@cyan yew yes, that's a good point too

cyan yew
#

that why u can see utahs with strong colors for example not strong or big predators but good in packs and use thier sounds and colors to scare and some utahs with neutral colors because of camouflage^^

rapid star
#

Yeah, that kinda goes back to my original statement too.

cyan yew
#

sry i use utahs for alot of examples ofc other dinos work the same way but i read alot about the raptors^^

#

yes and thats a good statement ^^

covert birch
#

@sly jackal I dont think trike needs some kind of buff especially with locational damage and collision coming.

lofty sundial
#

@dense shuttle Dont talk in suggestions. discuss here

sly jackal
#

@covert birch i think that kinda depends what kind of multipliers will be working. Currently a single trike just needs to be facetanked by a rexand then have the rex assride it untill it is dead(if said rex takes a stomp and plays the bleed game, it is not gonna win though) while the giga can quite well bleed one out if it can avoid the stomps, and still get out alive even if it takes a stomp if it trots out of there, and if it can avoid that, the trike is gonna die of bleed way because the giga does, because the giga has a greater bleed and the heal of the trike is just plain bad

dense shuttle
#

o yea

#

rex is ok rn

covert birch
#

Collsion will make it so a rex cant just run through a trike

#

Hell take a few spikes to the face and die to locational

dense shuttle
#

it also means you cant stop buttering

sly jackal
#

I really feel the full grown trike, though not capable to hunt those apexes, like it does now, should be a bit more lethal then it is now with its base damage, while i think the stomp mechanic on it feels a bit weird to me

dense shuttle
#

if you try to butter then you're screwed

covert birch
#

Also all blaance rn is being changed

dense shuttle
#

you cant stop being buttered if you add collician

covert birch
#

No current stats will be the same post recode

dense shuttle
#

you cant break check so

covert birch
#

especially with weight damage multipliers thrown out the window

sly jackal
#

true but even then, actually running past a trike would still be doable with that

#

luckely indeed

covert birch
#

If the trike is dumb enough to not use alt turn and keep the rex in its face at all moments

#

Its the trikes fault

dense shuttle
#

alt turn is gonan be removed

#

sooo

covert birch
#

Its being replaced with pivot

#

Which is basically alt turn

dense shuttle
#

sadly

covert birch
#

And its being forced

#

Pivot is alt turn but ya dont have to hold alt

dense shuttle
#

i dislike that idea tbh it makes it less enjoyable

covert birch
#

Nothing else

dense shuttle
#

l like it with servers taht disable alt turn

covert birch
#

As someone who palys on both

#

Alt turn is better

dense shuttle
#

if pivot wasnt a thing it would give smaller dinos a chance to escape

covert birch
#

Alt turn forces people to be smart

dense shuttle
#

like for example

#

a pachy relys on buttering because of how weak it is

coarse ore
#

Alt then is better, you don’t have Dinos riding your ass @dense shuttle

dense shuttle
#

thats good tho

indigo sun
#

God stop talking about alt turn you dont have a choice

coarse ore
#

Bruh

dense shuttle
#

it requires skill to stop thjem

covert birch
#

pachy being weak aint an alt turn issue

slow stream
#

no alt turns only give rise to utahs, dilos, and etc killing rexes

covert birch
#

^

indigo sun
#

you have no choice in the matter

slow stream
#

LITERALLY NO APEX CAN GET THEM OFF

indigo sun
#

Suck it up

#

Stop talking about irrelevant shit

covert birch
#

What nines said

dense shuttle
#

its a discussion calm down lol

slow stream
#

either way

#

alt turn's going away

#

pivot's coming in

dense shuttle
#

i mean pivot idc about it will make my main good

slow stream
#

say bahbye to sticky utah btw

coarse ore
#

Lol

covert birch
#

Sticky and his cult will die off and become the new docktards

slow stream
#

or any dumbass thinking having to assride dinosaurs takes skills when really it doesn't

sly jackal
#

i disagree...actually alt turn on the trike works worse then just using the regular turn on the trike

coarse ore
#

It does kind of

indigo sun
#

Doesnt matter what does or does not take skill

coarse ore
#

Some Dinos have god turn radius

sly jackal
#

then again, if collision is added, i do agree then things do change in that regard

covert birch
#

Darth when i said that i meant if the trike sees the rex its the trikes fault for letting it get behind it

sly jackal
#

oh that i agree with

indigo sun
#

This is like when people try to balance shit based on the current game when everything is changing

sly jackal
#

but really, currently a trike can not take a facetank against a rex, and just for the rex to take 2 regular hits to the side or one stomp, then for an example bite the leg and cause bonebreak, "all" it then would have to do is to go and assride it

#

even with collision, i think the stomp should be removed in return for a better base attack

covert birch
#

They cant update current game until recode is out so they cant affect the current trike

sly jackal
#

i do how ever then think in return maybe the turn radius should be slightly nerfed, though i am not sure about that

covert birch
#

So current trike will always be screwed till recode

indigo sun
#

@dense shuttle bonebreak wont even work the same post-recode

lilac swallow
#

And why 49%

#

Why excatly 49 instead of 50

sly jackal
#

i think bonebreak should be something most dinosaurs have in some regard....either way the "bonebreak chance" idea should be removed i think...i do not like that one at all

#

more like there maybe still should be some mechanic that calculates the base damage of one dino versus the base health of the other one, and then decides if bonebreak is gonna occur or not

covert birch
#

Bones should have health

#

Certain dinos should deal damage to that health

#

when it reaches 0 its broke

sly jackal
#

should then go into negative to though

#

i mean, a slight bonebreak should be faster to heal then like being bitten at the same spot for several times by something huge

covert birch
#

Nah should stop at 0

sly jackal
#

it is one of the annoyances i have with bonebreak in general

#

like either you break something for minutes, either you die or either you are gonna be fine

covert birch
#

Then 2 types of bb health

#

fall damage kind

#

and being bit kind

sly jackal
#

there should be room for a few intermediates

#

like, if someone is bitten by an adult rex as giga in the leg, that should heal faster then if you would be bitten by one as a sucho

#

same for falling just a bit vs almost killing yourself

covert birch
#

I feel like diff dinos would have diff recovery rates

#

Instead of diff applications of bb make ya recover differently

#

This would make people think bout what dino they pick

#

Or at least be a factor in that

#

Plus could help people adapt to cetain popular things in the ecosystem that time

sly jackal
#

oh, but i agree the heal stats should still be different, but on top of that bonebreak damage should come in variables on top of that

covert birch
#

Oh wait

#

are you saying diff things should apply diff amounts of bb

sly jackal
#

different things, and different amounts

covert birch
#

Like a sucho less then a rex

#

Yea i agree with ya

#

The healing bit is wherei lost ya

sly jackal
#

no, more like, if a full grown giga where to be attacked by a fresh adult rex, and the rex bit the leg...sure that leg should be out of order for a minute, but not much longer

#

if how ever the same young adult rex where to bite the leg of a sucho, the leg should be out of order a lot longer

#

and bonebreak damages should also be variable depending on how far a dino falls

covert birch
#

The variable falling thing i agree with too

#

But personally i dont think

sly jackal
#

as in, if a utah just happened to drop 20 cm further then it could handle, sure it should be hurt, but it should be a lot more hurt if it fell 3 times further down

covert birch
#

yes that makes sense

#

But

#

The whole smaller dino being bone broken by bigger thing

sly jackal
#

heck, ideally, i think that after a certain level, both legs should be out of order, while the base damage should be near fatal and one should be pretty much at the final screen

covert birch
#

and they heal it for longer time

#

i dont think theyll make bb that complicated

sly jackal
#

they probably wont, but it would be nice if they did

#

for an example, the heal rate of something fully grown in regards of bonebreak should probably be a tad slower then something of a young adult

#

i mean, they already do have different variables of healing all troughout this game, even in regards of bonebreak

covert birch
#

yea diff dinos got diff heals

sly jackal
#

i am how ever quite sure those variables of bonebreak heal are connected by the basic heal a dino has i guess

covert birch
#

all healing is based on the dino

#

and not some complex system

#

from what i can tell

sly jackal
#

same....still those variables have to pretty much be in theory be implemented and up and running once...after that it is just a matter of fact of having each dinosaur such variables programmed into their health/heal system

#

the implementing of all those new dinosaurs with their new animations is kinda more of a choir i think

barren zephyr
#

@empty dove Yes! Let’s not have a survival game!

#

That’s the fucking point, you have to hunt often and stuff.

cyan flame
#

The issue there is more that trikes simply do not give the food you'd think they do, so they're not good targets :p

sage helm
#

@empty dove look im gonna put it simple if you don't want to kill so much don't play the apex dinosaurs that are meant to kill a lot in order to sustain thenselves

sly jackal
#

@cyan flame i do agree on this one, a trike corpse honestly should be food for 2 rexes for about 2 ingame days

sly jackal
#

@zinc fern i think sleeping should be a thing, if only for the fact that i'd love to close my eyes at times and just roll up and lay completely flat, making myself as compact as possible

#

besides that, i sure healing should be its upside, but as downside, i rather think it would be interesting if the screen when sleeping just went black and there was some camera angle animation of first putting you in first person mode and then closing the eyes/screen going black

#

heck, would be interesting if from there it was the only option to safelog

#

to first go trough all that, and then only capable to safelog for real

barren zephyr
#

well i had an idea for prog

sly jackal
#

@barren zephyr i like the idea of progression returning and i honestly do not get how people do not seem to grasp easely progression should in fact be the main mode, and not survival

covert birch
#

@distant goblet @dense shuttle discuss in here

dense shuttle
#

ya i forgot lol

sly jackal
#

i mean, sure i was not here when this was the case, but progression when it was implemented just had loads of loopholes and unviable dinosaurs

dense shuttle
#

survival is better

sly jackal
#

and that was pretty much all of it problems it had that where unique for it

dense shuttle
#

you get to pick what you wanna play

sly jackal
#

if progression actually existed as at least one of 3 main modes(progression, sandbox and survival) this game would simply be played longer already

#

because getting finally at the final tier of apex sized animals would be much more of a challenge

distant goblet
#

What happened to progression

sly jackal
#

currently, great, there are options and all, but it also means that growing apex sized dinosaurs...the access to being able to do that, is really really easy and a lot of people will just not even bother even trying out certain dinosaurs, even if we are at the point that all of them will be balanced

indigo sun
#

progression died because the devs made the decision to go to a different game mode

#

they found that best for their own game

sly jackal
#

if progression was a thing though, i kinda think it should be implemented comparable to how a racing sim like gran turismo 5 works

#

with several tiers, and within those tiers also lineages in a way

#

for an example, there are spinosaurus, rex and giganotosaurus related animals found in the fossil record of all kind of sizes, same for armored herbivore dinosaurs and iguanodons/hadrosaurus

indigo sun
#

you can literally just mod progression in if you want it when the dev kit comes back

#

the devs moved away from it for a reason, their own reasons that i personally cannot give, but reasons nonetheless

sly jackal
#

and everything can be implemented if there will be mods...besides the point i think

#

progression added officially in this game would simply make the game be played longer by its fanbase

indigo sun
#

point is, progression is dead and the devs dont want to go in that direction anymore clearly

sly jackal
#

i mean, it should not serve as an excuse to have unbalanced dinosaurs implemented, but still

#

even if the devs currently think that, is it still not forbidden to disagree with them

indigo sun
#

im not saying its forbidden to disagree with them

sly jackal
#

main problem with the current game after all besides balancing issues is after all the fact there are few goals implemented

#

if progression would be implemented, the endgoal would be to become apex sized

indigo sun
#

im saying they chose this and it very likely will not change back officially and if people really want progression back they can do it themselves

barren zephyr
#

its an alt gamemode

sly jackal
#

it sadly is

#

well, i just am giving my 2 cents here, i think skipping on a mode of progression that is balanced and without loopholes to get instant access to the more powerful dinosaurs is a bad idea, even worse then the devs not wanting to implement the shant in the final game, since in this case i do not only consider it a waste of resources, but it also will decrease the longlivity of the game by a fair margin

sly jackal
#

@dense shuttle on hunger, i actually think it should kinda become like bleed, so taking damage would take a long time

#

still i feel like someone starving should be in some pose so it can be seen they are at their weakest point too

indigo sun
#

@loud storm no terror birds are not planned.

loud storm
#

rip they wouldve been cool

still temple
#

Ovi will stand in as a Terror bird

patent spade
#

@languid crown just let them run their servers into the ground with fucked up populations, official servers are the best servers in the game anyways

pulsar orchid
#

Plus, how could you make it illegal? People will do things illegally anyways

#

It's not linked to the game itself, so the devs and owner aren't technically responsible as far as I can tell

languid crown
#

Make it part of your tos

#

It's not hard and anyone in the community can report it

thorny lynx
#

Sorry. Had to bring up Rex teeth again since someone decided to yank Rex's bottom teeth out of his mouth.

teal lava
#

XD poor babu

slow stream
#

Poor babeh rex

#

Waiy

#

Wait

#

What if the rex..

#

actually LOST them during a battle

thorny lynx
#

Losing your front bottom teeth means you can't nip at flesh or pick something up with your mouth as efficiently

slow stream
#

Well yeh

#

But t-rex use fucking all of it's teeth

#

For

#

Basically anything-

thorny lynx
#

Look, I know it is just teeth on a model, but how would you feel if you lost your bottom four teeth

#

And they didn't ever grow back

slow stream
#

sad rex time

thorny lynx
#

It just unsettles me to see nothing but gums on the front of his mouth.

Even if Rex DID lose teeth, they grew back, and there are holes in the jawbones that clearly show where the teeth should be

#

So it's not like 'aw rex lost a toof he got a hole there'

#

He doesn't have bottom front teeth and that just... why?

slow stream
#

Ah-

thorny lynx
#

Honestly, I feel Rex's jaws as a whole could use some tweaks.

slow stream
#

Oh how so-

thorny lynx
#

Bottom front teeth, for one. Shorter snout, flattened lips so Rex doesn't look like a giant puppy

slow stream
#

Ah

#

Huh-

#

I didn't get to read that-

thorny lynx
#

@visual urchin Negligible? Rex is missing all of his front bottom teeth.

visual urchin
#

Regarding the thing i accidentally posted in the wrong channel
the model would have to be updated, resulting in all associated maps and topologies requiring adjustments,
lots of editing for a minute negligable detail.

thorny lynx
#

It's just adding teetb

visual urchin
#

you dont understand the ammount of work that goes into making an asset such as those seen in this game

#

it isnt as simple as a model change

thorny lynx
#

It's sculpting four teeth and then adding textures, right?

indigo sun
#

nope

#

you change the model and then youve got to redo lots of shit to go with those changes like dekerrex said above your message of "It's just adding teetb"

visual urchin
#

materials are complicated. The model would be edited, high poly or the low poly doesnt matter here given teeth are usually sculpted low poly iirc. You then have to make room in the UVW map for those new things, thus changing the unwrap, making all existing maps based on that UV null. Now you have to go into every single map: texture, displacement, normals, shinyness, etc, and add those teeth.

#

its a lot of time and busy work, equating to more money spent

#

on a very minute detail few would even notice

thorny lynx
#

Alright. I'm sorry.

slow stream
#

hey fluff?

#

if you're that dedicated to fix the teethers, ya can fix it as a mod post-recode

thorny lynx
#

I just... don't understand how our Rex's skull was supposedly a replica of Stan's but the teeth are all the wrong shape and size, the snout is too long... and puppy lips.

#

I wish I knew how to sculpt and do all that. If I could, I would.

slow stream
#

It might've been inspired by it

thorny lynx
#

No, Bryan said Rex was modeled after Stan, but...

slow stream
#

Animals of the isle tend to be different from the irl counterpart

#

Due to genes being messed around with for the results that's needed

thorny lynx
#

Rex looks a bit too different. His skull looks so thin and long.

#

I could go on and on but I would just piss people off, so I will shut up about it.

I'm honestly just disappointed in how our Rex's face looks.

slow stream
#

Hey! Maybe when a mod comes out for accurate animal designs, ya can get it

viral creek
#

Why is there another rex teeth complaint

slow stream
#

It might not be now

#

Might be later

thorny lynx
#

Because he lost more teeth in the preview video

slow stream
#

Maybe after the recode

thorny lynx
#

All of his front bottom teeth are gone

viral creek
#

🙄
Not worth doing all the work of changing a model

#

idk if you're a dentist or what but you seem to have a thing for teeth

thorny lynx
#

I have a thing for the way Rex's entire snout looks and it's not a good thing, but I said I would drop it.

I apologize.

indigo sun
#

@severe atlas resting shouldnt increase growth. thats my only qualm with your suggestion.

barren zephyr
#

Fluff... You're always nitpicking

thorny lynx
#

I said I would drop it. Leave me be about it, please.

wintry cipher
#

@severe atlas nutrition will be important; theyll be adding preferred diets for each dino, and by eating things you like, you grow faster. which means you have to be active and moving around to get that food to grow faster rather than just hiding in a bush on a full belly (which for a rex will wind up at 18 hours growtime instead of 3 if it was active as an example). that suggestion would actually land you in the longer growth category; so nesting is a lot more relevant now since mothers can hunt the right food for their babies and make them grow super fast.

granite turret
rapid star
#

@thorny lynx that is beyond nitpicking. Like, holy shit.

thorny lynx
#

I deleted it.

#

I've already had several people tell me how I'm nitpicking and how anal of a person I am and I've decided to remain quiet with my opinions from here on out.

#

I will not be so kind the next time I express the desire to be left alone about this.

night mountain
#

I’m gonna be the one to mention basically no herbivores irl bring food to their babies.

#

Exception on birds but that’s only because their babies literally can’t walk.

thorny lynx
#

Chub babs.

ebon tiger
#

don't some herbivores regurgitate plant matter?

#

i know reptiles don't, since they are largely born precocious and instinctively know how to eat and what

#

also, i just remembered; there's evidence that some dinosaurs did feed their infants

#

Egg Mountain is a massive nesting site for Maiasaura, and not only are the hatchlings too weak to have gotten out of the nest, but there's also a lot of fossilised plant matter in some of the nests, some of which appears mashed

wooden brook
#

I want to have an option of the uath,,
like
the regular one like we have a game
and a feathered one
idk
but that'd be so cool

languid crown
#

gross

barren zephyr
#

Overall I think it would be a quality of life thing for players in regards to bringing food to nests for their babies, regardless of herbie or carnie. There's always going to be a debate about things being realistic, but I think it'd ultimately be down to the player and their choice for their gameplay.
If someone doesn't want to gather a pile of leaves or snag a few leafy twigs to bring back to the nest, good on them! Teach them juvies to forage their own noms! But for a more nurturing parent, I think it'd make sense for them to have the option to take food to their young.
Since body dragging is going to be a thing for carnies and their prey, I'd like to see an equivalent for herbies and leafy greens, at least~ 😉

barren zephyr
#

Going back to the cyrolophosarus, what if it had infrared night vision to set it apart from other dinos? It would be short range and only lasted for a limited amount of time. That would set the dino apart.

azure cape
#

Am I the only person who thinks we need a Smilodon in game?

barren zephyr
#

Maybe

languid crown
#

why would they put smilodon ingame?

#

its a mammal

#

from the iceage

#

and you want it in a dinosaur game?

#

what would it add? Its just a carnivore with a different skin that ruins the theme

nocturne burrow
#

coulda sworn they were going to add dogs

#

possibly as a companion for humans. i dunno, it was years ago

#

imagine, though. all these fantastic prehistoric beasts... and a dog

ebon tiger
#

@lunar prism omnivores are coming to the game. at least Oviraptor might be one, and i'm not entirely sure about the others

night mountain
#

Wouldn’t be the first ice age animal PelaFeelsGood

ebon tiger
#

?

night mountain
#

Pela also mammoths were planned at some point idk if that’s still happening

#

Also why are you stuck sitting next to bodies

#

Just kos everything it’s fun

twin cedar
#

I agree with stream's suggestion partially, I think the troodon idle anim should be toned doen a bit, however I don't see an issue with beipi's webbed feet as it doesn't necessarily make it semi-aquatic. It could just be an adsptation for walking on soft surfaces like mud etc.

sharp bramble
#

But why webbed feet? It's not an animal that would've hung out near the water. Plus the feet aren't like that of waterfowls

night mountain
#

“. Maybe another semi-aquatic dinosaur such as halzkaraptor as it was closest thing to a duck back then.” There were literal ducks back then too duckhead

twin cedar
#

It's just a quirky anatomical feature in a game that's not mesnt to be super realistic

rotund panther
#

This is out off the blue but how will the starve mechanic work?

#

Similar to the bleed? The stamina drains faster and gets more limited by the times passes depending the activity are made under starvation?

#

And when the stramina is drained out u will lie down and sleep eternity?

#

And instead off getting white skin etc, the rips and bones will show more under the starvation?

#

They have said about the food system but not much about “no food system”

#

Would this also work as an disease mechanic?

indigo sun
#

We dont know.

rotund panther
#

Yepp, but what do u think about it?

Until than we must wait 🥺

@loud storm that’s a question and not a suggestion

I have a suggestion for nest buffs, there should be like a big radius around your nest that will enable your buff

Pretty sure primarily aquatic things like Deino/ spino will have sprint-swim and the like

nocturne burrow
#

@austere plinth You put a lot of thought into this beelzebufo suggestion. I like it

austere plinth
#

Thank you! ;>; i want my frawggy boy. i know it may never happen but i will be relentless! =w=

covert birch
#

@austere plinth the beezle suggestion is great but I would prefer just making beezle poisonous and dangerous to eat for most dinos instead of the sickly thing. Eating it should make the thing eatin it build up poison or something and after reaching a certain amount of poison the thin should die. Also I feel like more dinos should be immune like maybe monolophosarus and spino too?

austere plinth
#

Like I said most of it was written before new info was out.

#

Dinosaurs that are already venomous like dilo and troodon can eat it, and select dinosaurs that evolved and live in its environemt can eat it, like spinosaurus.

#

However I would like to have it be a danger to eat for other apexes, like DEino, Rex and Giga

ebon tiger
#

The one issue I see with the Beelzebufo, is the size. it'a barely the size of a housecat, so the only dinosaurs it could attack are small hatchlings or Compy

covert birch
#

Compy is playable gothic

#

So beezle can work

#

If size is the issue

ebon tiger
#

yes, but what i mean, is the size will severely limit what the frog could attack.

austere plinth
#

Yes, but the devs are focusin on small dinosaurs at the moment, which means more small sized (featherweights i will refer to them as) animals are both playeable and AI.

ebon tiger
#

the other ideas are pretty well thought out though

covert birch
#

Well combat ain't the only part of the game

#

There are them bugs that float around

#

It can eat

austere plinth
#

Thank you, and i appreciate the criticism

#

There's already ambient butterlfies and fireflies

#

Butterflies*

ebon tiger
#

aye, i know, and it's a good idea to make use of those

austere plinth
#

Plus all things must eventually come to water, like hatchlings and juvies.

ebon tiger
#

assuming they return for the new map

austere plinth
#

For my case advocating the Bufo, I'm assuming they are.

covert birch
#

Maybe beezle can be one dino who can sniff in the rain. Since when its raining will prolly be the only time it migrates

austere plinth
#

That would be a neat idea

ebon tiger
#

most of the small dinos will still be too big, even as juvies, that's my concern

covert birch
#

Beelze can kill hatch deinos max

#

Size wise

austere plinth
#

I mean, maybe, but frogs can still bite.

covert birch
#

Imo

ebon tiger
#

oh frogs most definitely bite

austere plinth
#

And even then, they have expandeable stomachs, so if it did kill something it could probably eat most things whole, even if they are a little larger than it.

covert birch
#

Well rex and other bugs are supposedly getting swallow whole anims

#

So maybe it can work on beezle

austere plinth
#

I know, and thats why im only more excited for Bufo.

#

I doubt he will even be a possibility rightnow

#

Mainly because of all the other dinosaurs atm

covert birch
#

Nah he would be way later if they add it

austere plinth
#

but with the new foundation for the game built out right now, it paves the way for him in the future

covert birch
#

Prolly added in with some reworked dinos or soemthin

austere plinth
#

which is something im adamant about

#

yes, exactly

#

And hes small, some unique meter changes here and there and he should be fine.

#

Hell, I have lots of experience with 3d modeling and textures. I'll even volunteer to work on him myself for the devs for free.

#

I just really want bufo ;>;

covert birch
#

Ide personally like any amphibians since they would be perfect candidates for poison mechanics

austere plinth
#

Exactlyyyyy

ebon tiger
#

if Beelze didn't work out, there's also a wide variety of larger amphibians too, some of which could also eat fish, which adds a further diet option if ambushing dinos fails

covert birch
#

Koolasuchus would be cool to

austere plinth
#

Yes, however

#

hear me out...

#

It's not a frog/toad.

#

Therefore, invalid

ebon tiger
#

tbh most amphibians aren't frogs or toads, and most fossil anurans are pretty small

barren zephyr
#

@stoic crow It's not a fucking dinosaur how is it a clone I asked for customization

night mountain
#

Still super about beezle, the issue of it being too small is easily fixed by just making it bigger. We have monster spino, naked molerat utahs, dibble being like 4x the size it should be, and eyeless psychic weather controlling spinosaurids, why not a frog bigger than it should be?

random imp
#

lol

austere plinth
#

No im aware, Gothic. I'm just saying leggy boys have superiority over all other squishy amphibians.

#

@night mountain (Sorry for ping) THANK YOU! That's what no one understands...

night mountain
#

Fuck it give beezle infinite deino growth dondiTroll

i would not fucking mind
