#

No

#

It is forbidden

barren zephyr
#

dire wolf even if it not a dino

left nacelle
#

Oh

#

Not what I expected

indigo sun
#

no mammals besides humans though

barren zephyr
#

i know you expected me to say Yutyrannus

indigo sun
#

fuck yutyrannus

barren zephyr
#

but why is it forbidden?

indigo sun
#

i will never like that animal now

#

mammals or yuty

#

?

left nacelle
#

This guy earlier today made a long paragraph about yutyrannus

barren zephyr
#

Nikson?

left nacelle
#

he deleted it and reposted it like 7 times

indigo sun
#

yeah

left nacelle
#

Yeah

barren zephyr
#

my little brother really did that

left nacelle
#

@marble flame The DNA thing is being used for Perks iirc

#

Plus that suggestion sounds too much like Beasts of Bermuda

indigo sun
#

the skill thing in flame's suggestion could probably just be perks, but also certain things like nightvision and speed and other stats should probably not be something changable as that can severely affect the playstyle of a dinosaur

#

things like being able to sniff and have a wider range though sounds decent

marble flame
#

Ew beasts of bermuda

#

What part sounds like it so i can remove it?

left nacelle
#

The whole second paragraph lmao

marble flame
#

O h

left nacelle
#

The entire section about skills

#

Yeah lol

barren zephyr
#

so what dino do i talk about?

opaque blaze
barren zephyr
#

megalosaurus?

marble flame
#

Might as well delete the suggestion XD

left nacelle
#

Yeah. I don't think too many people will like the top paragraph either lol

#

Lots of people suggest a mating call alone and people don't like it soooo

marble flame
#

Mhm

barren zephyr
#

the only dino that is in my head are Yutyrannus and Megalosaurus i don't know if you guys would love to see a suggestion about the Megalosaurus and/or Yutyrannus

marble flame
#

Id be interested in playing as a smaller dino

indigo sun
#

What was the top paragraph again, flame?

marble flame
#

I like small dinos

#

Top paragah is display about nests, second is skills

covert birch
#

the only dino that is in my head are Yutyrannus and Megalosaurus i don't know if you guys would love to see a suggestion about the Megalosaurus and/or Yutyrannus
Ide avoid yuty since we had to explain a guy a couple hours ago multiple times about how its practically a smaller allo clone
Idk much bout megalo so ya do you

barren zephyr
#

so if my little brother didn't put a Yutyrannus suggestion like 12 000000 time you guys would be interested in it?

covert birch
#

No

barren zephyr
#

that guys was my little brother

indigo sun
#

Well i didnt like the idea anyway, its interesting but it isnt unique enough

covert birch
#

Doesnt matter if he is your lil brother or not
Yutyrannus brings nothing new to the table and would best to be a skin

barren zephyr
#

so don't be to rude at him

covert birch
#

nobody was being rude, we just had to explain to him repeatedly how it didnt work

left nacelle
#

There was one guy a while ago who made a pretty good yuty suggestion iirc

barren zephyr
#

There was one guy a while ago who made a pretty good yuty suggestion iirc
@left nacelle who was it?

left nacelle
#

I'm gonna try and find it

covert birch
#

WAsnt it the ambush pred yuty suggestion?

barren zephyr
#

man i really want to see the Yutyrannus in the game but why i mean why you guys don't want it?

barren zephyr
#

and what about a Megalosaurus suggestion?

covert birch
#

man i really want to see the Yutyrannus in the game but why i mean why you guys don't want it?
Not a unique animal
Doesnt bring anything new to the table

left nacelle
#

Yeah Blue (The other one) found it before me

marble flame
#

What about a microraptor?

indigo sun
#

Its pretty much a smaller feathered allo

left nacelle
#

Microraptor is waaaay too tiny

covert birch
#

Microraptor is too small for the game imo
Something like zhenyuanlong or changyuraptor fit well tho

ebon tiger
#

it's not that we don't want Yutyrannus, it's just that atm, it doesn't really have anything unique that isn't already covered by another dino

indigo sun
#

Better things could be used, like what blue said

ebon tiger
#

also, Microraptor's the same size as Compy

left nacelle
#

@opaque blaze What do you mean slow animation?

ebon tiger
#

so if Compy can be added, i don't see why Microraptor can't

covert birch
#

As ai sure

unborn quail
opaque blaze
#

When you stop drinking, the dino is (relatively) slow to move away from the water. If a Deino charges, you should be able to get away asap

barren zephyr
#

omg his Yutyrannus suggestion was amazing

#

so @unborn quail what is the green dino?

unborn quail
#

Yuty

marble flame
#

Id like a microraptor to glide down from branches and ambush small dinos but avoid larger dinos die to easily being killed

covert birch
#

The green is yuty

left nacelle
#

I haven't noticed that the animation's slow. I've always been able to run right away

barren zephyr
#

ah ok yeah i knew the Yuty was a little bit smaller than the allo

covert birch
#

But personally microraptor is too small to be a playable glider
Zhenyuan or changyu fir the size bill mutch better imo

marble flame
#

As an ai i mean

opaque blaze
#

Might be lag, then

barren zephyr
#

the Yuty is not that small from the allo, it bigger than the cerato

covert birch
#

Cerial, its bigger than cerato in that chart

barren zephyr
#

it a little bit bigger than cerato and a little bit smaller than allo

indigo sun
#

Zhenyuan could properly ambush other animals if thats what you want. Micro couldnt ambush anything bigger than a bug

covert birch
#

^

barren zephyr
#

Blue my name is Cerial box not Cerial

unborn quail
#

2800kg vs 1500kg, it's closer to cerato than allo

barren zephyr
#

i prefer Cerial box

marble flame
#

And thats why i want bugs and frogs

opaque blaze
#

Damn, Yuty was tiny...

unborn quail
#

Cerato is 1060kg, while yuty is 1500

#

and allo is 2800

barren zephyr
#

yeah Yuty was 1.5 tons

#

i tought the Yuty was a alberto sized

unborn quail
#

probably closer to 1300kg but, give it a bit more

#

and no

#

Alberto is bigger than it

opaque blaze
#

Too much ARK, I guess...

barren zephyr
#

yeah i know the isle sucho should be bigger than the alberto right?

unborn quail
#

Yes, alberto is also oversized in-game

barren zephyr
#

Too much ARK, I guess...
@opaque blaze ark Yutyrannus is way bigger than what i knew

#

i actually knew that the Yuty was most likely a bary sized but not that giant

opaque blaze
#

I didn't 😅

unborn quail
#

Bary

barren zephyr
#

look guys this suggestion is amazing

#

it not mine but it amazing

covert birch
#

You dontn eed to copy and paste it

barren zephyr
#

so you want me to delete it?

covert birch
#

and while the suggestion is interesting it just seems like bary with stat variations and nocturnal

barren zephyr
#

it kind of the bary stats yeah but with more attack so yeah

covert birch
#

Its bary, but bigger
Especially with that claw stuff
And nocturnal-ish

opaque blaze
#

How is that different enough from Allo/Cera?

barren zephyr
#

i don't understand how could a Yuty can do a claw attack

unborn quail
#

It has large arms

opaque blaze
#

That's an Allo move

barren zephyr
unborn quail
#

Allo move is grapple

covert birch
#

Doesnt matter waht it looks like

unborn quail
#

Theoretically, it would be a similar move to bary/sucho, jsut a jab or slap

#

but

#

still an unneeded animal

covert birch
#

Like that one suggestion to me is noctunal bary with higher stats

barren zephyr
#

ah yes i didn't saw that his arms were bigger, my bad

covert birch
#

Its an animal which doesnt server a purpose or bring anything unique to the table

#

Like if cerato didnt exist i can see it functioning possibly

barren zephyr
#

ok ok guys let it have a chance if the Yutyrannus come in the game later let it have a chance atleast it a different gameplay

covert birch
#

what

barren zephyr
#

you guys don't want it to come in the game that why im saying never mind

covert birch
#

An animal which brings nothing unique to the table wont have a chance, as a skin it functions plenty fine

opaque blaze
#

We're getting at most 50 peeps per server with EVRIMA. Populations are bound to get spread as is

covert birch
#

paradym did recently mention on the 50 isnt fully decided on

opaque blaze
#

Oh thank god... I think...

barren zephyr
#

yeah it can have a chance if you play it well

covert birch
#

You cant play an animal well, which has no functionality due to not happening cuz it doesnt bring anything unique to the table

#

Lemme grab a video real quick

barren zephyr
#

nothing ? atleast a new dino to play as it stronger than the utah so it not useless

#

stronger than the cerato so it not useless

covert birch
barren zephyr
#

ah yes this one it so funny

vestal rune
#

wouldn't it be alberto and not allo?

covert birch
#

Nah it actually has arms unlike alberto

vestal rune
#

ah that's true

barren zephyr
#

but im not replacing the tarbo by the Yuty because the tarbo want dondi to put them in the isle then he said why not why not spending 7k or more on a rex clone

covert birch
#

Cerial
I was comparing your arguement for yuty
To the tarbo arguement

The animal is a small version of an already ingame animal with a size disparity that isnt large enough to justify its position

barren zephyr
#

yeah yeah i know

covert birch
#

Then what are you trying to get at then?
With the whole chance thing

viral creek
#

Yutyrannus. AKA: Fursuit allosaurus.

barren zephyr
#

but it bigger than the cerato and also stronger so it can justify his position in the mid or pseudo mid tier as it stronger than the cerato

covert birch
#

yes gulpy we covered that

viral creek
#

Saying it again for all the people in the back

covert birch
#

Psuedo mid tier that is stronger than cerato doesnt instantly mean you should add it

paper oriole
#

Somebody a while back made a kinda decent idea for yutyrannus as a nocturnal glass cannon ambusher

slow snow
#

Yea if both players sit there and face tank, the Rex will win. However most fights don’t work like that and Rex often loses from what I’ve seen.

covert birch
#

While the nocturnal glass cannon ambusher is interesting
Just seems like a nocturnal bary to me

barren zephyr
#

yeah i can beat a rex with a cerato

paper oriole
#

Bary is a fisher tho

covert birch
#

Bary is much more land oriented then other spinosaurids

slow snow
#

I’m talking about the trike suggestion, cerial

paper oriole
#

Their suggestion was for yut to be a nocturnal glass cannon crusher (for smaller tier), bary likely would deal bleed

barren zephyr
#

but if they would of put the Yutyrannus in the game put it with more weight than the cerato because in the game the cerato have like 2 tons weight so put the Yutyrannus with more healt

covert birch
#

I was comparing the claw attack buff

slow snow
#

Also yuty is being talked about again?

covert birch
#

Since i see bary as a ambush pred who claws at shit it ambushes

#

yes lumaz

slow snow
#

Why

barren zephyr
#

ok let stop then

covert birch
#

Cerial you had mentioned megalosaurus

#

What is your ideas based on that animal

barren zephyr
#

ah yes Megalosaurus i put it as a suggestion?

#

i don't know is it smaller than Yuty i think so?

covert birch
#

How is megalosaurus a unique creature that would be worthwhile to add to the game
Via unique gameplay, unique mechanics, and niche within its tier

barren zephyr
#

i don't know

#

less healt than cerato but more healt than bary more attack than cerato faster than cerato

#

clearly nocturnal

covert birch
#

HOW LARGE WAS MEGSALO AGAIN

#

caps*

barren zephyr
covert birch
#

Dont use that site's size charts

#

Lots of their stuff generally are inaccurate

slow snow
#

^

barren zephyr
#

ok ok so uh

#

it was bigger than the allo

paper oriole
covert birch
#

Oh

#

pracitally in the same boat as yuty it seems

barren zephyr
#

so nocturnal, bigger than allo faster than cerato stronger than cerato utah bleed,

covert birch
#

Bigger than allo?

barren zephyr
#

grab mechanichs

paper oriole
#

It would just invalidate cerato

barren zephyr
#

i think it bigger

covert birch
#

Its smaller

#

weight tho idk about megalo

#

But yea it falls under a similar boat to yuty imo

paper oriole
#

Allosaurus fr. And megalo both reach 30ft i think

#

Allosaurus has better hands

covert birch
#

"David Bruce Norman in 1984 thought Megalosaurus was seven to eight metres long.[33] Gregory S. Paul in 1988 estimated the weight tentatively at 1.1 tonnes, given a thighbone seventy-six centimetres long.[34] "

barren zephyr
#

so megalosaurus is allo sized?

paper oriole
#

More or less yeah

#

It could serve as an allo skin if/when species skins come

barren zephyr
#

So, I’m gonna guess dinosaur suggestions aren’t the best, but here’s my idea for one of my favorite dinos:
the Megalosaurus comes to The Isle! As the T-Rex’s smaller, (minus the head, hands and lower legs) Chinese ancestor, it would be cool to see this

Design: Megalosaurus
would be different determined on its sex.The males would have head plumage, and a flared tail tip, as well as brighter colors in those areas, as well as in their flanks and arm feathers, and their head crest would be bright as well. Females would be duller, and lack this extra plumage, but would have stuff like spots or stripes. However they’d be the same size. I won’t go into the entire palette, but the males would have colors like red, orange, yellow and even green in their bright, appealing plumage, but the base colors for both would be grey, black, or brown, with grey or tan scales.

Stats (Full Grown);

Diet- Carnivorous
Base Damage- 330
Alternate Attack- A bite that does 330 base damage, and inflicts bleed more frequently*
Health- 3000*
Mass-2750 KG
Speed- 37.2 Km/H
Ambush- 42.8 Km/H
Sprint Duration- 1,25 minutes
Base Bleed- 9
Growth Time- 375 minutes

Mechanics:
Night Vision- Megalosaurus wouldn’t have the best night vision, but would have better than most, seeing a descent distance, approximately 3 / 4 distance that Dilo can see.

Unlike most carnivores, bleeding isn’t guaranteed for Megalosaurus, no, instead, its bite only have a chance to inflict bleed, approximately 20% per attack. However it’s claw swipe doubles the chance of bleeding, for a weaker attack.

Megalosaurus also give it a unique perk, being that it has slightly more health than its mass, so it doesn’t immediately get decked.

paper oriole
#

Yeah that one

#

I thought it was pretty decent suggestion

#

Well the one for yutyrannus that was like that lol oof

#

Imma have to read that

barren zephyr
#

i edited it for the Megalosaurus

covert birch
#

dont do that

#

thats just stealing a suggestion but just changing the name of the dino

paper oriole
#

Oof

barren zephyr
#

ok sorry

paper oriole
#

It did look a bit weird too lol some of the yuty suggestion was in there still makin it look messy

barren zephyr
#

the megalosaurus was feathered too

#

ok ima put it tomorrow if i have time

#

bye

paper oriole
#

Should write up (from scratch) your stats ideas and stuff in suggestions

#

See you then

unborn quail
#

hate to be that guy again but

#

Megalosaurus is also smaller than allosaurus.

paper oriole
#

allosaurus fragillis (our allo) is a bii over 9 and a half meters long at the largest specimen, i think our in game allo is 30 feet give or take a couple, megalosaurus is 30 feet, but is about half a ton lighter

unborn quail
#

our Allosaurus, going by max size which is the plan going forward, is 9.7m(32ft) and somewhere between 2600-2800kg

#

Megalosaurus is 9m and 1900kg

paper oriole
#

so megalo would basicallt just be weaker allo, yeah

#

could maybe work as a skin

#

if anything

unborn quail
#

Perhaps

#

closer than Yuty atleast

indigo sun
#

@scarlet steeple right now? incredibly low because theyve got like 14 animals lined up currently

scarlet steeple
#

@indigo sun thanks. I was also wanting to ask the dev team if there on here

indigo sun
#

they generally dont talk to us all that much about suggestions. Dondi said a couple hours ago he didnt care about dino suggestions right now

paper oriole
#

i wouldnt say the likelyhood is made any lower by the 14 new animals coming, but it is basically a given that any animal suggestions they actually like wont be considered for the near future

strange wave
#

but it is harder to make the animals worth while to add to the game with over 14 new animals with unique mechanics

paper oriole
#

if the niches are filled, yea

#

if they arent, they'd still probably finish all their currently planned dinos before adding any suggested ones they like, hard to make suggestions atm without knowing all the niches and roles being filled lol

covert birch
#

@paper oriole isnt that basically what pinned suggestions are?

paper oriole
#

well kinda, but a lot of people dont look at pins lol (and they havent pinned anything in a while, but maybe they just dont liek the suggestions of late)

covert birch
#

well people prolly havent looked at pins since there hasnt been anything pinned in a bit

#

Plus lots of suggestions recently are all ⏲️ stuff
or dinos suggestions which they said recently they arent producing any more new dinos atm

#

Hell dondi commented on it in general a bit earlier today
Saying nobody cares about dino suggestions rn

paper oriole
#

true, though there could be a few good peanuts lost in the manure pile of suggestions for things already coming or people wanting their fave dino in the game

#

a channel where the gems the devs like go would be nice, sort of like a "hint hint" for things that are or might be coming that arent listed in phase 2

covert birch
#

Yea would be cool for more interaction from devs suggestion wise
But pinned suggestions can function the exact same way as a whole other channel

#

@barren zephyr stego doesnt really need a stomp since the tail whip almost reaches in front of it

paper oriole
#

hmn if they put their response under each suggestion saved in the archive though it could be something nice

indigo sun
#

they can just like, turn. they shouldnt have any issue defending themselves with their tail

covert birch
#

A response section to specifically good suggestions would be cool

#

they can just like, turn. they shouldnt have any issue defending themselves with their tail
^

paper oriole
#

and yeah stego is fine with colission damage on its spikes and tail whip

#

a stomp would probably look weird too honestly

covert birch
#

Imo only tail bois (outside of sauropods) who need a frontal attack would be like minmi and anky
Minmi doing like a bite type thing and anky doing a lil headbutt like tortoises

honest sparrow
#

yeah stego can turn hella easily

covert birch
honest sparrow
#

if you get caught off guard as stego from the front, you deserve to die

indigo sun
#

that is the cutest shit i have ever seen

covert birch
#

Theres a shitton of vids of turtles headbutting stuff

honest sparrow
#

minmi headbutt is so adorable

covert birch
#

Would fit perfect for anky

#

Nah minmi should bite with a beak like that

honest sparrow
#

aight

covert birch
#

Its like the exact same shape as the beak of softshell turtles

honest sparrow
#

look at it go

opaque blaze
#

That headbutt is a mating ritual

barren zephyr
#

@covert birch u should totally suggest minmi have a headbut like a turtle

still temple
#

give headbutt to Minmi as social fighting, since that's confirmed now

#

also, gib minmi fluttering as a part of the social mechanics or sth

opaque blaze
#

Imagine Theri doing that

covert birch
#

@barren zephyr while i love the call ideas they confimed mercs will be doing hand signals instead of calls

barren zephyr
#

NOOOOO FUCK

covert birch
#

PRolly something similar will happen to tribals

barren zephyr
#

Fuck it Im leaving it, incase they ever reconsider dondiTroll

covert birch
#

XD

indigo sun
#

Im honestly down for jeff goldblum skin

#

I like it

covert birch
#

next we need a steve irwin skin

strange wave
#

500% melee damage increase to deinosuchus

opaque blaze
#

Well, you got my vote

strange wave
#

@sleek ingot small problem with that, skin customization

sleek ingot
#

Then it could be limited to darker colorations only

covert birch
#

@sleek ingot that basically is either megalania venom or dilo venom (if they take megalania going down the realistic route that is)
But that is what dilo's high bleed is meant to replicate until they actually add proper venom systems

sleek ingot
#

I figured that for Dilo

#

But again, anticoagulant works different than venom

#

Not nearly as dangerous but it wouldn't be anything to shrug off

covert birch
#

Sure htey are dangerous, but an animal practically has that function already

sleek ingot
#

I've been bitten by water snakes, which have anticoagulants. They are not venomous but it's a hell lot of bleeding.

#

Idk, just throwing out the possibility of a new animal and anticoagulants

covert birch
#

And while i do love part one of the suggestion

#

Imo there are more unique looking animals which can fit in that niche

sleek ingot
#

True

covert birch
#

Like prestosuchus or something can fit their pretty efficiently imo

#

While being an actual quad land carni

sleek ingot
#

I thought it needed more than being a grim reaper to anything smaller than it however

covert birch
#

I mean specifically targetting small stuff is basically what dondi described cerato and carno will be doing

#

so that in itself isnt gonna bring anything new to the table

sleek ingot
#

Just a thought:(

#

It figures though

#

Nothing would make it all that unique

#

But I mean it could at least look cool

simple wasp
#

don't worry snek u aren't the only one Blue shut down XD

sleek ingot
#

We don't know much about it's appearance due to a lack of fossils, so any sorts of dewlaps and crests wouldn't be implausible

covert birch
#

Iirc that animal is just a smaller acro family wise

sleek ingot
#

Not exactly

#

Metriacanthosaurus isn't very related to Acrocanthosaurus

covert birch
#

Also parasyte an animal that specifically feeds on bits of food in deinos mouth is too specific of a food source

simple wasp
#

no

covert birch
#

wouldnt really be reliable especially since deino, who is an apex wont be too common

sleek ingot
#

Alright well they did make a rugops model, I'm sure it could have better befitting gameplay

simple wasp
#

theres a flying dino that hunts fish and will sometimes eats scraps in apex teeth

sleek ingot
#

I'm sad they scrapped it however

simple wasp
#

I forgot wat its called though

covert birch
#

Most of the old dinos are shelved now

sleek ingot
#

Pterosaurs

covert birch
#

They may come out if the devs want

simple wasp
#

and that's why I said he will get little food

sleek ingot
#

Well what about Pachyrhinosaurus

covert birch
#

Pachyrhino is one of em

sleek ingot
#

It was modeled and skinned

#

Would be a shame to waste it

covert birch
#

Mono, kentro, compy are all examples of what can happen to other old animals

sleek ingot
#

Compy and Kentro are confirmed are they not?

covert birch
#

All 3 i just mentioned are confirmed

sleek ingot
#

What is Mono gonna bring

covert birch
#

Idk

simple wasp
#

and deino is confirmed I think

sleek ingot
#

It's similar to Dilophosaurus lol

covert birch
#

its just fresh adult dilo size wise

#

Deino is confirmed yes parasyte

#

Mono i can see taking up that honey badger niche we lack

sleek ingot
#

Deinosuchus or Deinocherius

simple wasp
#

suchus

covert birch
#

Suchus yes, is confirmed

#

How small would this flyer be parasyte

sleek ingot
#

Well supposedly Ceratosaurus is the "Honey badger" but I always flee at the first sign of trouble

simple wasp
#

about compy size

covert birch
#

Yea no

simple wasp
#

smaller than pteradon

covert birch
#

Keep that stuff on ai

sleek ingot
#

Do you mean Ramphorynchus

covert birch
#

Rhamp is too small to be a playable creature imo

sleek ingot
#

The plausibility for it to go to the jaws of another dinosaur is low

covert birch
#

Smallest flyer we should get to is like dimorphodon

sleek ingot
#

The thing is

#

People think plover birds clean the teeth of crocs

covert birch
#

also snek cerato is meant to be more hyena like iirc

simple wasp
#

well the flyer is pretty much a cleaner

covert birch
#

Turns out thats a myth snek

sleek ingot
#

They actually have no real symbiotic relationship

covert birch
#

They dont actually clean the teeth

#

Lemme see if i can grab the article

sleek ingot
#

The crocs don't need their teeth cleaned, they just tolerate the birds as they are not worth consuming

simple wasp
#

they get stuff like ticks

covert birch
#

yea thats it parasyte
They get parasites in the crocs mouth
Not lil bits of leftovers

sleek ingot
#

I knownits a myth blue, that's why I brought it up

#

Know*

#

And more or less thats just because the croc will tolerate them

simple wasp
#

crocs aren't the only thing they colea

#

ckean

#

fuck

covert birch
#

But yea continuing
Imo there shouldnt be any flying equivalent to compy
At least size wise

sleek ingot
#

If the bird were to enter too far into the jaws then I wouldn't be surprised if the croc attempted to swallow it lol

covert birch
#

cuz then why tf would one person pick compy over compy who can fly

#

Literally invalidates one animal right there

sleek ingot
#

Flying compy

#

Well not entirely

simple wasp
#

well the devs are talking about how they want to cover as many playstyles as possible

covert birch
#

Pterosaur who is practically a flying compy*

simple wasp
#

and there is some that want to lick all over a giga

#

or a rex

covert birch
#

I mean

simple wasp
#

XD

sleek ingot
#

That some is the weird some

covert birch
#

Imo that should be kept under the ambient ai list

sleek ingot
#

Any guesses on what's gonna make Albertosaurus unique

covert birch
#

Smallest flyer we should get personally i think would function like a lil vampire bat or oxpecker

#

Dondi just said he has a unique mechanic planned
Then left

sleek ingot
#

Well I know that

#

You have any hunches lol

simple wasp
#

would u be able to eat corpses under water?

#

like if u were a deinosuchus

covert birch
#

yes

sleek ingot
#

Likewise

#

Modern crocodilians do

covert birch
#

Deino has deathrolling as part of the eating anim
So why wouldnt it use that to eat while swimmin

simple wasp
#

well its a game

#

they might not be able to add the mechanic

#

so that's why I was wondering

sleek ingot
#

Also I feel like they should let Ceratosaurus somewhat benefit from eating fish

covert birch
#

Also on the albert thing i got multiple mechanics that i personally think can fit for it
Like one was making it a pursuit pred who bites at the legs of running prey to trip em up and drain stam

#

Nah snek

sleek ingot
#

There is a possibility it had a varied diet

#

Why not?

covert birch
#

Sure irl it did
But bary exists

sleek ingot
#

There's no word on Baryonyx which upsets me

covert birch
#

There was that one stream

simple wasp
#

I know cera would eat a fish but I don't think it would hunt it

covert birch
sleek ingot
#

Regardless I will still consume fish as Cerato

covert birch
#

all carnis will be able to fish
just some better than others

#

Its like
Rex just runs into the water to try and bite the fish
Sucho actually fishes properly bear style

simple wasp
#

imagine how scary a pue would be as a carnivore

covert birch
#

it wouldnt be scary whatsoever

#

Slow mofo

simple wasp
#

but has a long ass neck

covert birch
#

sauropods prolly did accidently eat tree dwelling animals while grazing tho

sleek ingot
#

Well there was a former theory Ceratosaurus was semi aquatic, but that's debunked. However, it catching fish is not necessarily. Studies on Ceratosaurus dentition show that they are remarkably similar to Baryonychine Spinosaurs. That and the swampy environment it lived in, Ceratosaurus very well could have been a generalist on aquatic prey and terrestrial prey.

simple wasp
#

well most herbivores had a little protein in there life

sleek ingot
#

And with all the shed teeth found by lungfish, turtles and crocodilforms I wouldn't be surprised if it did favor them.

covert birch
#

Like cerato imo should be able to eat anything without drawbacks
But it shouldnt be a fisher or prefer that food at least

#

Like hyena-like cerato who is a endurance hunter/scavenger
Who has an iron stomach and good tracking capabilites
is what i want personally

brazen dew
#

ok

sleek ingot
#

It wouldn't have to prefer it per say, it should just be a bit more efficient at catching them. Not Spinosaur efficient but something more efficient than Allosaurus.

covert birch
#

Well we dont really know how they will make spino, sucho, etc actually better at fishing then others

#

we just know that they will

sleek ingot
#

From a slightly more realistic point of view, Tyrannosaurus and Albertosaurus would have the strongest sense of smell to track prey.

covert birch
#

So cant really say make X slightly more effective without knowing what makes the best fishers the best at it

paper oriole
#

spinosaurids will probably be able to wade through water and walk along the edge without scaring fish away as easily, compared to a rex

#

would be a good way to make it easier for them to fish

#

like rex would stamp into a stream and all the fish would gtfo

covert birch
#

Yes realistically rex would be a great tracker
But ingame i dont see an ambush predator needing it much

#

Iirc way back there was mention of a minigame for fishing

simple wasp
#

well Spinosaurus was huge so the fish could be a little bit away and the spino can still grab it

sleek ingot
#

It saddens me, Cerato could be a partial Fisher, but nobody wants it

#

The real Ceratosaurus would not approve lol

paper oriole
#

what if cerato ate turtles and dug up shellfish, and took advantage of shrinking water sources which will be a thing

simple wasp
#

I think cera would be there to follow something like a carno or alberto then take there kill

covert birch
#

That would function well buff

sleek ingot
#

I'm sorry

covert birch
#

Cerato being good at digging up stuff

sleek ingot
#

Ceratosaurus stealing a kill from Albertosaurus

covert birch
#

Burrows, shellfsih, etc

sleek ingot
#

Not likely

covert birch
#

A gang of ceratos can steal it

simple wasp
#

well like blue said there like hyenas

covert birch
#

thats how i want them personally

simple wasp
#

and hyenas take kills from lions with numbers

paper oriole
#

cerato doesnt need to be stronger than the animals it's bullying, necessarily

#

see they could give him a necrotic bite that will make things not want to fuck with it even if they can kill it

sleek ingot
#

Even as a Ceratosaurus in a pack of 3 I wouldn't dare mess with an Albertosaur

paper oriole
#

since he eats rotten meat

covert birch
#

a pack of 3 i can see messing up an alberto

#

Especially since alberto is smaller than allo

#

Weight wise that is

simple wasp
#

well cera seems like a swarmer

#

where they have like 10 people

#

or 6

paper oriole
#

cera would bully like hyenas do to lions at times

covert birch
#

Hyena would be viable alone
But a very efficient pred who can gang up on people in groups

sleek ingot
#

Ceratosaurus is quite a bit smaller than Albertosaurus anyways. Carno I can see Cerato bullying, Alberto, no. If anything Albertosaurus is gonna be the main bully of the mid sized carnivores.

covert birch
#

Not at all

#

Sucho will be what bullys miditer

#

Alberto is more along the lines of allo

sleek ingot
#

Is Sucho considered a mid tier

covert birch
#

Especially when you consider max irl sizes are confirmed

#

Sucho = psuedo apex

#

just like how cerato = psuedo midtier

sleek ingot
#

Yeah, an Allo that's faster with a hell of a bite, lmao

simple wasp
#

well a lion can easily kill a hyena but u kinda see hyenas killing lions with numbers

covert birch
#

Remember current stats dont matter whatsoever

paper oriole
#

depends on how they rework albert

#

he will still likely have a powerful bite, but he could turn into a glass cannon crusher who can be bullied with clever gameplay

covert birch
#

And remember that alberto is only so large due to a bug that also affects herra anky and acro

sleek ingot
#

Iirc Spinosaurs will mostly depend on their claws, and if limb ripping and decapitation is a thing at some point, good luck to all the Suchos who get their arms ripped off by Albertos and anything bigger

covert birch
#

limb ripping isnt happening

sleek ingot
#

Rip

covert birch
#

and again
Allo is 2.8 tons
Albert is like 2.5 iirc
Sucho is a godly 4.5

sleek ingot
#

While yes I think a Suchomimus could fend off an Allosaur or Albertosaur, I don't really see it at standards to easily killing it per say

covert birch
#

Sucho will kill it easily
Hunting them is the pain

paper oriole
#

if it got a broadside it could probably barrel it over, using its arms as leverage

#

then go at it while its on the ground

#

since speen is said to be able to flip things over before, sucho could probably pull this off

sleek ingot
#

Again, if it's going to be a fish eater, it realistically should be more worried about fending them off then bringing them down, which gives the claws a fair purpose.

covert birch
#

Sucho being almost 2x heavier than the other 2
With claws that can do heavy harm
I can see very easily killing alberto or allo easily
Especially when you consider max realistic sizes are confirmed

#

Yes sucho would be 10x more defensive, but it should still be killing them efficiently when an encounter happens

sleek ingot
#

I suppose

covert birch
#

And if it decides to scare them off corpses n such

sleek ingot
#

Idk, I just don't see Spinosaurs as killers. The only thing Suchomimus has going is its size. None of its adaptations are really suited to killing other dinosaurs.

paper oriole
#

assuming it'll still be a good amount slower than things like allo and alberto, it would only be able to use its power in defense

#

not offense

covert birch
#

Spinosaurids are plenty killers

#

While sucho specifically is a bad example

#

Baryonyx is a great example of one that can be aggresisive

#

especially since bary is a more terrestrial focused spinosaurid

sleek ingot
#

It's like the whole debate with Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. The two animals lived in the same location and had no reason to fight, but even if they did, the Spinosaurus is out of its league.

#

Yeah Baryonyx is more or less terrestrial, but it still wouldn't be in direct competition with Neovenator per say.

covert birch
#

Like spinosaurids i see this
Bary: Runs shit down n claws at em, fishes every so often
Sucho: Big defensive bully to midtiers, generally stays on land or shallows, fish main staple of diet
Spino: adaptable to situation, (been described as a go where ya want apex), just like the playable the diet is variable

sleek ingot
#

Yeah seems fair

#

But again, from what we know of Baryonyx, it mostly ate fish, and the juvenile iguanodon bones found in its stomach could very easily have been the result of scavenging.

covert birch
#

Yea but gameplay wise putting bary and sucho as mainly aquatic animals
With deino and spino existing
Ain't a good idea

sleek ingot
#

Could it have killed a juvenile iguanodon, sure. Would hunting adult Iguanodons be a good idea for it? Absolutely not lol.

covert birch
#

Oh ofc not

sleek ingot
#

Well yeah, they more or less would wade

#

Opposed to swim

covert birch
#

Bary at max ingame would hunt teno

sleek ingot
#

And if the upper estimated for Neovenator are correct, it would also outcompete Baryonyx

covert birch
#

I mean wasnt there a new bary bone pushing it up yo allo sizes

sleek ingot
#

I absolutely love what they did with Tenontosaurus

covert birch
#

Teno is a great pick

sleek ingot
#

It's always shown as fodder but now they make it kick ass

covert birch
#

Had a long tail irl
They took that and made it beautiful

sleek ingot
#

And about Baryonyx size

#

Yes it was

#

And while Neovenator is smaller than Allosaurus

#

If the suspected bones they found do belong to it

#

It would be as large or larger than Allosaurus

#

Speaking of Iguanodon, I'm sure it could fit in the isle well

covert birch
#

Iguano is a very commonly suggested animal
And mostly agreed it fits ingame well

sleek ingot
#

It would be a para with better damage lmao

covert birch
#

Except for a couple few naysayers

#

Make para actually a runner
Then gimme some wrestler iguanadon

sleek ingot
#

New sizes yes?

covert birch
#

Yes

#

All max irl

sleek ingot
#

RIP Ceratosaurus lmao

covert birch
#

Bary doesnt have the new bone there tho

sleek ingot
#

I like how Alberto is taller but not as long as Allo

#

New bone?

covert birch
#

The thing we just spoke about

#

On how a new bary bit pushes its size up

sleek ingot
#

About it's upper estimates?

covert birch
#

Yea

sleek ingot
#

Ah

covert birch
#

That bary in the chart uses older ones iirc

sleek ingot
#

Well I'm sure that will be looked into

covert birch
#

Gotta ask nova again

sleek ingot
#

Which would you think would be faster in reality and I suppose in game eventually

#

Allo or Alberto

covert birch
#

Alberto prolly if it goes a similar route to rex

sleek ingot
#

Honestly Albertos legs tho

#

It looks ready to make a dash

covert birch
#

All of them except cera do

sleek ingot
#

Also where was limb tearing confirmed to be canceled

covert birch
#

Qna 2 iirc

#

One of the qnas

sleek ingot
#

Ceratosaurus really shouldn't be much of a runner, should be more stealthy and rely on hiding and ambush to hunt and avoid predators

covert birch
#

Personally I like endurance hunter cerato

sleek ingot
#

I suppose

#

Personally I like the iron stomach idea

covert birch
#

I really enjoy the thought of
Cerato is the hyena to allos lion

sleek ingot
#

It would be a bit better if it gained benefits from fish more so than other terrestrials but that's ok because I can just chase fish all I want in the game when it happens lmao

#

Then what is Alberto lol, the tiger

covert birch
#

Alberto is another lion

sleek ingot
#

And Sucho is the grizzly bear

#

The stronger lion lol

covert birch
#

Allo and Albert fit the same place but do it in diff manners

#

No not really
Allo vs Albert is a 50/50 imo

#

One has a high bite force, lower weight and lacks claws
One has a medium biteforce higher weight and has claws

sleek ingot
#

I mean I usually see it as a 50 50, but in a sense I kinds give it to Albertosaurus more since it was a more advanced predator

covert birch
#

By claws I mean usable arms

sleek ingot
#

Yeah

#

And by advanced it doesn't necessarily mean a better fighter, but as a dinosaur build itself, it was more advanced than the primitive Allosaurus

covert birch
#

Sure irl Albert was more evolved but ingame I see Albert vs allo like

They fill same role in the ecosystem, have diff manners of fulfilling that role via how they hunt n such

sleek ingot
#

Having more forward facing eyes for a better field of view, better sense of smell due to the olfactory bulbs, and in general, be a more intelligent animal. Of course none of this would dictate them fighting or competing.

#

Yeah

#

Agreed

#

They will be the main competitors to one another

covert birch
#

Yea and would be cool to have more competitors ingame

sleek ingot
#

The devs: Time to add Torvosaurus!

All the mid tier carnivores: !!!

covert birch
#

Like bary n cera I can see competiting for prey within a jungle area

#

There is a thing as too many competitors

sleek ingot
#

Yeah lol

covert birch
#

Imma hop of now
Gn

sleek ingot

paper oriole
#

That would basically just end up being a channel where people spam any cool landscape/nature pics they come across

#

Like those people who spam animal pics from facebook in pet channels

manic venture
#

hey a couple of cool landscape pictures don't hurt anyone

paper oriole
#

Ones that people put thought into yea those would be good to have a list of, sadly it would inevitably be clogged up with random pics of waterfalls and aerial forest scapes and stuff lol people cant control thrmselves

manic venture
#

so what?

paper oriole
#

Would be so cluttered itd end up being a pointless channel

#

But then again suggestions gets buried in “buff this sandbox dino” and “fix this bug my rex died!!!” Every other day so guess it couldnt be worse lol

manic venture
#

might be pointless to you, or give inspiration to devs or mod makers. In the end its just a little channel, that you can mute if you don't like it, that has some pretty inspirational landscape ideas for maps.

paper oriole
#

Would maybe redirect those occasional suggestions that have 50 pictures of trees attached to them to their own channel i guess

paper oriole
#

Nocturnal: dryo, taco, diablo

Flyer: Tupandactylus

Semi-aquatics: larger sauropods who can walk the lakebeds, atopodentatus (he's pathetic and small tho lmao)

valid zephyr
#

pathetic and small is fine.

makes good food for carnivores

#

yeah dryo and dibble both suit as nocturnals imo.

paper oriole
#

If its real zoomy and agile in water it could work

valid zephyr
#

atop and desmata would be great semi aquatics

#

atop is water dryo.

perfect for bary and younger deinos to hunt

#

it feels a waste having all these water carnis, and barely any prey

#

apart from AI fish

paper oriole
#

Yeah its pretty bleh

#

Well theyll have beipi to pick on but thats one guy

valid zephyr
#

also irl most herbivores (at least in my country) are nocturnal. feels so wierd to not have a single nocturnal herbi in game.

#

also beip is an omni.

we need a good choice of omnis too, but it's kind of a different issue

paper oriole
#

Atopo could graze on sea/lake bed plants and hold its breath for very long periods

valid zephyr
#

yeah marine iguana style.

#

sit on rocks and beaches to regain stam

paper oriole
#

Be agile and quick on the seabed and clumsy on land

#

Yeah

#

He also looks unique which is a little plus

valid zephyr
#

desma would more be floating through shallower water scooping up water plants.

#

and it's as heavy as a utah, armoured, and got big spikes.

paper oriole
#

Desmata could blend in with muddy water and fuck your foot up when you step on it lmao

valid zephyr
#

also good deino and spino food

paper oriole
#

Could wallow in muddy water like a little hippo

valid zephyr
#

while being too tough for bary to kill easily

paper oriole
#

And as far as flyers go tupan is the only one i can really think of

valid zephyr
#

yeah tupan is an omni, but an omni flyer would be nice too

paper oriole
#

Yeah a flyer for each faction would be nice if possible

valid zephyr
#

it's in primal carnage, so it's already in lore.

paper oriole
#

And not have carni faction hogging all the niches

valid zephyr
#

it's as big as ptera, so it's not too small

#

tupan could both fish, and maybe eat fruit from trees

paper oriole
#

Tupan strikes me more as a hatchling/frog/bug eater than a fisher

valid zephyr
#

yeah it essentially feels like herbis get: sit in field during the day and run, or sit in field during the day and fight

paper oriole
#

Frogs and rodents if theyre added

valid zephyr
#

while carnis get a ton of fancy different roles and playstyles and environments

paper oriole
#

The herbi playerbase is vastly outnumbered and whenever a herd pops up it gets swamped by 50 rexes and gigas, herbis need some love

#

And something to tempt more people to play them

valid zephyr
#

Most of herbis current animals are fine imo. It's just that they have little variety of niche and environment

#

and yeah I feel even more people will move to carnivore when they get all these fancy aquatics and flyers

paper oriole
#

Some of them are crap compared to their carni counters, but yea its mostly that carnis are pampered with unique stuff herbis have yet to even see

#

Plus the little inconveniences like having to stop for 30sec to sniff loudly as fuck

valid zephyr
#

on top of all that, carnis will get a ton of strains too

#

I don't think herbis should get strains, but it's like icing on the top thing

#

carnis get a ton of unique niches, and get to turn into kaiju.

#

herbis eat grass in a field, but not at night, in the water, or in the air.

paper oriole
#

Yeah strains, unique fight mechanics like venom and the apparent utah animal targeting, sniff walk, nocturnal animals, all terrain options

#

People always jump in to say there's no carni bias in the dev team but what else could it be

valid zephyr
#

I'm not going to start throwing around bias accusations lol. It's how to ensure a suggestion is defo not accepted. dondiLUL

paper oriole
#

I suppose lol

#

Hopefully one of those people who have the resources will make some badass herbi strain mods, not anthomnia obviously since he's obsessed with rex like everybody else

valid zephyr
#

I'm not a fan of strains so don't care that herbis arn't getting those.

#

it's the varied natural niches they have irl, but don't in the isle which bug me.

paper oriole
#

I cant think of any good herbi strains where they dont turn carnivorous or into pointless forest vacuuming behemoths but i'd like for them to have something to make up for it

#

Like titanic sauropods

valid zephyr
#

I'd really like to see cama and apato/bronto. As they're large enough to feel big. But not so large they're unhuntable.

paper oriole
#

Any sauro who would have to lower his neck to drink or eatwould be huntable to an extent, just some much harder than others

#

Maybe not going as far as the huge sauropods like argentino but something a trio of gigas would think twice about before attacking

pale sorrel
#

@valid zephyr Great idea!!
Maybe the Hypsilophodon could be the one to have venomous quills?

indigo sun
#

nah venomous quills doesnt feel like hypsi's thing, but i do like the basic idea of a herbivore having that, it's a very interesting thing to add some diversity

pale sorrel
#

Ah

#

Yeah maybe you're right

#

But yes, I agree. It is definitely interesting.

covert birch
#

Imo certain factions should have specific things exclusive to them to increase appeal
So like venom can stay for omnis/carnis specifically
But herbis and omnis can get poison

honest sparrow
#

taco has quills

covert birch
#

And idk if any purely herbivorous pterosaurs really existed
Closest thing to that were tapejaridae who were omnis

vestal rune
#

taco has bristles

valid zephyr
#

i'm not a fan of poison as it's just 'you bite it you get punished'

#

venomous quills can be avoided with skill

covert birch
#

Venomous quills just functions like an anky tail

#

But with venom instead of bb

#

Keep target behind ya and ya fine

valid zephyr
#

yeah I acknowledged there are no flying herbis. Though i'd like tupan as a flying omnivore.

#

venomous quills wouldn't have an attack mapped to it at all imo.

vestal rune
#

I don't really think we need a herbi version of each carni "niche"

#

I'd rather much have unique herbi gameplay that makes sense

valid zephyr
#

semi aquatics and nocturnals make the most sense

vestal rune
#

like venomous and dedicated nocturnal are much more suited for carnivores

valid zephyr
#

irl there is a ton or herbi swimmers and nocturnals

#

like every herbivore in my country is mainly nocturnal

#

not having herbivore nocturnals is awful

covert birch
#

Imo dryo should be nocturnal to keep the whole lookout theme of it

vestal rune
#

the reason I say nocturnal is better suited for carnivores is because it allows a carni a unique way of hunting

#

but I do think there should be herbivores who perform well at night with good nv

valid zephyr
#

also gives the carni nocturnals somthing active to hunt at night. rather than afk players

vestal rune
#

like dryo for example

valid zephyr
#

a herbi nocturnal would be suited to animals which would have no real way of surviving in the day imo.

#

dryo suits it too.

covert birch
#

Plus we dont really know what this new nightvision rework will be
So maybe more animals in general will see better at night

valid zephyr
#

it's basically a dino deer

#

hypsi is one i'd hate to see nocturnal or burrowing.

vestal rune
#

btw what dinosaur herbi would even suit semi-aquatic?

covert birch
#

Also returning to herbi flyers
Ik it doesnt really fit much irl wise
But heracles?
ide prefer it to be omni as a giant kea but there are other ways of making it unique and herbi

valid zephyr
#

desmatosuchus is best

covert birch
#

Desmtaosuchus im fine with as long as it dont invalidate minmi

valid zephyr
#

it's a utah sized herbivore crocodile with armour and spikes

vestal rune
#

well I don't think minmi is really meant to be semi-aquatic

#

just it performs better in the water then others

valid zephyr
#

even if your minmi got it, it's omnivore which makes it different

vestal rune
#

idk the way they commented on it was weird

covert birch
#

Minmi seems to be going down a sucho route
Lives near water to get some resource

#

Like plants, maybe nests there, etc

vestal rune
#

ye seems like it

valid zephyr
#

desma i'd like to see wading around shallower water sucking weeds into its bill.

#

would be very camoflagued in the water

#

atopodentatus is another potential, as a water dryo.

blue I know you prefer mouth 1 as an omni.

covert birch
#

Would be cool if mouth 1 or 2 were cosmetic options

#

And they made the animal omni as a base

valid zephyr
#

the mouth types would be textbook good cosmetics

vestal rune
#

mouth 1 and 2?

covert birch
#

atop had 2 mouths they believed were to be true

#

one is like a hammerhead platypis head

valid zephyr
covert birch
#

Hammer shaped duck bill*
And hte other is that image

valid zephyr
covert birch
valid zephyr
#

The thing about these different carnivore niches like nocturnals and swimmers, is they make no sense if there is no food to hunt.

honest sparrow
#

no offense, but you two are really weird

#

Dammit beat me!

they're weird?

we're talking about dinosaurs in a dino game forum.

we're all wierd

Plateo > oruano >>>>>>>>>>> lurdu

valid zephyr

lurdu is gross

#

desma opens up actual swimming and underwater gameplay in a different way to pure wading animals

#

wading plateo/para/shant/oruano/cheirus is similar to sucho or bary in a way.

#

getting their food from water, but not living in it

covert birch
#

wading bary dondiSquint

valid zephyr
#

bary gets fish. needs to at least get its feet wet for that

covert birch
#

Terrestrial hunter bary who eats fish every so often > fisherman bary

valid zephyr
#

barys jaws look pretty clearly evolved for a mainly fish diet imo

#

cerato is basically the same size and is terrestrial hunter

covert birch
#

Ingame tho, with sucho, spino, deino, etc existing
Wouldnt really be a good idea to making bary just do what sucho does but smaller or stay in lakes for long periods with the big bois roaming

#

Imo making bary a terrestrial hunter, whos main diet is land animals but can get stuff from the water when foods low is best

valid zephyr
#

I'm really wondering what's planned for omnivores. We only have two confirmed omnis atm.

vestal rune
#

isn't that just small sucho though blue?

covert birch
#

Sucho is the exact opposite

#

Bary: Runs shit down n claws at em, fishes every so often
Sucho: Big defensive bully to midtiers, generally stays on land next to rivers or shallows, fish main staple of diet
Spino: adaptable to situation, (been described as a go where ya want apex), just like the playable the diet is variable

@potent ruin your not helping

valid zephyr
#

I'm torn on dinosaur strafing.

#

trying to work out how it would effect the meta

potent ruin
#

I don’t think it would effect it that much, just help unstucking yourself or somthing

#

It wouldn’t be fast, I mean if I walk sideways I’m slower than if I walked forward

strange wave
#

so have you tried holding A or hold D then just moving your camera

potent ruin
#

B?

#

Oh yeah, I think it should be like, hold e while standing still then press A or D to move side to side, or back

strange wave
#

i dont really understand what your trying to say with this

covert birch
#

Forget side stepping
add dark souls rolling

potent ruin
#

Like horse strafing in bannerlord

valid zephyr
#

I mean irl animals will often dart to the side.

gentle blade
#

I like the idea of side stepping. I dont like the idea of holding a button combination to do it tho.

covert birch
#

I mean, it has to be a button combination cuz holding d or a will just turn you in place now

potent ruin
#

Or maybe double tap A or D

#

To do a quick jump to that direction

strange wave
#

I think this would be cool if we keep the always moving forward system
@potent ruin if your in the game, hold A or D and dont move your camera, its the same effect as that

potent ruin
#

But you turn your head away

strange wave
#

no you dont

potent ruin
#

It would be a way to keep your head facing forward while moving sideways

strange wave
#

unless you have head tracking off

potent ruin
#

You turn your front away then

#

Like for a trike it would be pretty benifical to be able to do that

#

To keep your front always facing a predator while maneuvering around

Let smaller carnivores do a little dodge jump to avoid getting bit if timed properly but it takes stam much like the current jumping system dondiSmile

#

why would dinos vision not be affected by cobwebs

neat beacon
#

if they're not eye level with it

covert birch
#

Well i mean, most dinos who can fit inside buildings are on a similar eyelvl as mercs

neat beacon
#

Oh, so both would be good?

covert birch
#

Yea sure

neat beacon
#

fixed it

frosty igloo
#

How do you guys feel about tacos being night creatures

#

I think thats a pretty neat suggestion

paper oriole
#

Tacos and dryos should def be nocturnal

#

Theyre burrowers so baving good vision in the dark fits

frosty igloo
#

I think so too

#

but at the same time isin't dryo good enough

#

I mean once other creatures will be added

#

like flyers that can pick them up and drop them

#

But as of now

paper oriole
#

Eh if carnis get multiple nocturnals i dont think 2 or 3 herbi nocturnals is too much

frosty igloo
#

yeah true

#

and esspecially that we are getting troodons and other small fast creatures

#

also how do you feel about omnivore Gali

paper oriole
#

Id been thinking about omni galli before

#

He could def eat frogs, bugs and eggs. Maybe small hatchlings on occasion

frosty igloo
#

Maybe even break logs and eat larvea

#

I mean it has hella powerful legs

#

Now that I think about it most herbs could feed on larvea

paper oriole
#

Yeah peck at termite mounds, logs, maybe kick up dirt, sand or mud for shellfish and bugs

#

Herbivores today will eat bones and small animals on purpose too

#

Like deer and cows have been recorded eating birds

frosty igloo
#

Most birds eat both plants and bugs

#

as well as many reptiles are omnivorus

paper oriole
#

It could be a possibility for an occasional ‘treat’ for large herbivores to munch on small juvies for a bit of protein and calcium (only occasionally) lol

frosty igloo
#

I mean I think thats too much

paper oriole
#

Probably lol

frosty igloo
#

The last thing we need is a trike chasing a utah like "Gimme the calcium boiiiii"

paper oriole
#

It would be pretty funny though as a juvie utah hearing stomps, then going “phew it's just a maia” then it fucking eats you

frosty igloo
#

yeah no

#

Honestly where would the line between carni and herb bee

#

if that was a thing

paper oriole
#

It would probably be used to just grief even if there was punishment fir running around mass munching hatchlings

frosty igloo
#

yeah and imagine being in a heard

#

nobody is safe

paper oriole
#

Would add to the horror aspect in a way lmao, will that diablo over there browse the dryo nest when night falls. But yeah would just encourage toxicity

#

And dont need more of that in the playerbase lol

#

Frogs, bugs, shellfish and rodents would suffice just fine

frosty igloo
#

I mean we know that most herbs should be able to eat insects but which should not

#

There should be some limits

paper oriole
#

I dont think things like trike or magy would be actively seeking out insects

frosty igloo
#

yeah they have better things to do

#

although those horns could be nice digging tools

paper oriole
#

But galli, theri, hypsi, dryo, and other herbis with smaller heads and useable arms would

#

Maybe ava

frosty igloo
#

If para becomes a water dino

paper oriole
#

If diablo gets his downsize i think he could be a good nocturnal warthog digging up roots, mushrooms and bugs

#

Para and maia could go for shellfish

frosty igloo
#

they could eat crayfish but mostly weeds

paper oriole
#

I think there was some discovery of a hadro eating crabs

frosty igloo
#

I mean yeah that would be cool but it would only make sense if they had to fight it first

#

like stomp it

#

also make worms really rare

#

so they stay more on the herbivore side of the spectrum

paper oriole
#

Worms and grubs could be in and under rotten log nodes that could spawn

frosty igloo
#

Yeah but have a limit on them spawning

paper oriole
#

Thered probably be some sort of drawback to eating too many bugs, frogs, shellfish etc since genes will be a thing

#

And vomiting

frosty igloo
#

Or maybe poisonus bugs like if you eat bugs from a log that has mushrooms on it there is a chance those bugs ate the mushrooms and you will get sick

paper oriole
#

So the nodes wouldnt have to be too rare, you'd be punished for gorging in them

frosty igloo
#

Or like dondi said preferences

paper oriole
#

Eh a random chance to be poisonedwould be pretty lame, unless you can sniff the poisonous fungus

frosty igloo
#

meaning that some dino will be like I feel like a grub but than after 20 grubs they will not want anymore and the player will simply be unable to eat

#

And if a dinosaur is a female and she laid a egg maybe she will have cravings for calcium things

paper oriole
#

Also i think it would be cool if a couple of the little guys, maybe hypsi, homalo and ovi as example, could eat poisonous fungus and berries to gain a toxicity buff the more % those things take up their diet. Not making it damaging to bite them, but most predators would get sick from eating them. Their colours would brighten too as a warning

#

Maybe not ovi tho since hell be attacking nests and it would be unfair if he was poisonous lol

frosty igloo
#

yeah

#

and for hypsi It would be a nice trade off

paper oriole
#

Hypsi is small and harmless enough it would be a neat unique way of deterring predators

frosty igloo
#

although if season come there should be a time where the hypsi can't become poisonous because there is no fruit/fungi around for it to eat to gain toxic buff

paper oriole
#

Poison could be a unique utility to a few small herbivores, onlybif they eat the right diet if course

frosty igloo
#

I mean thier job is to also get eaten and support the ecosystem

paper oriole
#

Yeah there wouldnt be enough poison fruit for them all to get it lol

#

Also

#

Cerato and mono could be immune

frosty igloo
#

yeah but I'm just saying there should be times where they simply can't become immune

#

to give other tree dwelling creatures a chance

#

also so raptors have some fun

paper oriole
#

Raptors will already be hunting mid tiers in packs too, a few poisonous hypsis ans homalos wouldnt ruin their play lol

frosty igloo
#

so either make it hard to become poisonous or make poisonous but not lethal

paper oriole
#

The lethality would depend on how much hunger you fill on the poisonous animal, it woul only be lethal in high amounts

frosty igloo
#

It would be pretty cool to track a hypsi until their poison goes away

#

and than CHOMP

paper oriole
#

There could be seasons where the poison is relatively easy to find, and in the dry season it would be scarce

#

Since remember youd have to make it a big part of your diet for any useful buff

frosty igloo
#

Yeah that would make sense

#

I mean If it was so easy to become poisonous nobody would even bother hunting them

paper oriole
#

Except mono and cerato, or whoever can eat anything

#

Cerato seems like the most popular candidate for eating shit other carnis dont want to

frosty igloo
#

And there would be a reason to play it

paper oriole
#

Yeah cerato being a filthy nasty bully who eats poison and rotten meat and gets a necrotic bite for making rot a large part of their diet would be cool

frosty igloo
#

yeah pretty much the vulture of the isle

barren zephyr
#

@barren zephyr that what i actually wanted to say!

left nacelle
#

@potent ruin There's been a lot of warpaint concepts shown in the past. They are a couple years old, but I'd be surprised if we didn't get warpaint

pale sorrel
#

@potent ruin I think that's a great suggestion, but I believe if they're implementing "Tribals" I'm pretty sure they'll get some face paint anyway. 🙂 Good suggestion though!

round fox
#

Gotta say I do like the sucho idea, just the concept in general of being able to knock certain creatures over if you weigh enough sounds interesting
Could be hard to balance but-

strange wave
#

a thing to make rugops unique i love it

@left nacelle do you have a link? I’d love to see it!

No prob!

barren zephyr
#

so pretty

covert birch
#

@native yew that is confirmed already

sleek ingot
#

For those of you who said Cerato on my Rugops description, it doesn't need to be the only scavenging animal. Not everyone would want to be it, and having at least one other theropod that also thrives off of scavenging wouldn't be that bad.

#

We already have 3 piscivores, two rex like builds, quite a few bleeders, and upcoming venomous dinos. There is no crime in a second animal that lives on a playstyle similar to Cerato and Carno.

silent current
#

Let me guys kno what you guys think about my megalania idea

#

I had fun writing it

#

Will probably repost a more polished version

native yew
#

@covert birch wait rly? must of missed it, thx.

valid zephyr
#

I like those features apart from the super tough skin part.

#

they're only a ton, so on the small tier part of the list next to cerato.

silent current
#

oh no that's what i meant

#

that's what the tail whip is for @valid zephyr c;

#

dem poor allo snoots gonna get the hurt boop

#

but they will have to be able to escape apexes because than they'd just be parazilla :/

#

XD

valid zephyr
#

I think they would be able to hide pretty well due to sitting so low.

And might be fast swimmers too.

silent current
#

yee

#

Yeah that's why I said faster than terrestrial dinos swimming but no where as quick as spino or deino x3 @valid zephyr

#

Because in videos komodos are good swimmers but their not necessarily fast

#

which gives them a disadvantage

pale sorrel
#

@ashen fossil Amazing idea

vestal rune
#

the devs have been against the idea of picking up babies

frosty igloo
#

The only problem I see with baby carring is that a person can just go AFK and have the adult carry the baby around and the person only comes back to the game to eat from the nest

#

also it could be annoying since hatchlings are the main source of food for many dinos

#

So if baby carring was ever a thing maybe it should be a mechanic for only a select few dinos

#

for example a trike would make no sense, theri could have the babies hide under the tail,

#

Maybe ptera with its feet but there is limits to that

#

Most creatures simply can't carry thier young

valid zephyr
#

velo will most likely be playable if the damn compy is.

covert birch
#

dondi said every dino will be playable
False, that was referring to the new 14 dinos which velo isnt part of
we dont know if the current ai will be playable or not

valid zephyr
#

honestly it makes sense if velo is playable. it's better than compy, and that's playable

covert birch
#

isnt a part of *

#

"and the compy is smaller than the velo so that mean every dino will be playable"
the acro is smaller than the giga so that mean every dino will be playable
Oh wait.... acros gonna be ai
Your logic doesnt apply

#

rex giga and much more are playable

valid zephyr
#

I mean objectively velo is a better playable.

it can actually hunt things, it can have a pounce mechanic.

covert birch
#

Acro specifically is ai

#

And again, im not saying velo shouldnt be playable
Just that we have no confirmation that is it

valid zephyr
#

I'm not saying velo will be playable. I'm just saying I think it should be as it has better gameplay than compy.

#

Though compy has set the bar real low for what can be playable.

covert birch
#

True, but remember they also prolly wont make these ai/playable dinos viable

#

at least not to the same extent a regular playable is

#

Like theyll have a unique mechanic sure, but that wont come into play as much as other unique mechanics

valid zephyr
#

yeah I suspect none of the 'playable AI' will be set up to actually be viable

covert birch
#

Cuz quoting another suggestion
Then just adding an image there is generally disliked

#

looks like ya did since it has the lil space

#

what little space?

#

forget about it

silent current
#

Did you guys have any thing else I should add for megalania?

frosty igloo
#

I still wish acro stayed

#

@narrow whale I believe they are planning on adding Titanoboa 🙂

narrow whale
#

oh nice

valid zephyr
#

@barren zephyr Deinonychus is quite a popular dino with several people wanting it to arrive.

#

Several of us have been working on ideas for it for a while. dondiFeelsGoodMan

pale sorrel
silent current
#

It'd be extremely difficult to put in game tbh

#

Even if they get the animations working which would be impressive and a miracle they'd still have issues with making it playable

indigo sun
#

According to Filipe, Dondi greenlit Titanoboa but it wont be coming anytime soon.

silent current
#

As that's a ton of new mechanics on top of it not being very enjoyable gameplay wise as snakes are slow,it will probably be a giant tug o war rope as the video of it vs rex is soo poorly made when a snake of that mass would not be able to keep it's head up and steady for that long

left nacelle
#

Someone suggested making it so the game sees the body as a "tail" and the head as the "body" and I remember filipe was saying that could work. But that was a while ago

silent current
#

Well even if they get it working theres a high chance it will have a very anticlimatic gameplay

#

It won't be this cinematic dinosaur strangling beast

#

And on top of that you'd probably get bored by it's hunger since snake hunger is ridiculous

#

Growing it would be fun but getting to adult and slowly getting bigger over time will drag on for waay too long

left nacelle
#

The same thing could be said about Deino's hunger

#

Snake gameplay could still be a lot of fun. You'd be able to hide in the foliage and sneak up on things

#

And the striking speed could make getting attacked by one terrifying

silent current
#

it would also be anticlimatic or buggy as making an animation for every dino being coiled around would be hard on it's own

#

And what happens when your beloved little green rope gets bitten

#

It's going to get thrashed around

strange wave
#

you dont have to delete and repost it to edit it

#

thats what got nikson a strike

silent current
#

Idon't understand why not just do what dondi mentioned about reskin dlcs

#

Where you can have a giga that is reskined asa charc and the only thing that changes is a few animations the calls and appearance

#

Meanwhile it's just the same dino

#

Same stats

strange wave
#

tiers aren't a thing, a current stats dont matter at all, so why put them in your suggestion

honest sparrow
#

did I make it in time?

vestal rune
#

wait numbered tiers?

#

were getting like 14 new dinos plus pteradon and deino being the first steps into semi aquatics and fliers

and upvoting your own suggestion

Tiers = specie

#

Like megalania, pachyrhino, Diplodicus, ect

Which is basically to take the place of the wieght system stopping small stuff to kill large ones

that exact scenario

is

honest sparrow
#

yeah what levi said

silent current
#

I mean a sucho shouldn't be able to instantly kill a sub rex XD

brisk mesa
#

So there's no 'base damage' for Cerato

pulsar lake
#

Deinonychus is Troodon sized and works with that.

#

Yes.

silent current
#

Because it's no longer based off weight

pulsar lake
#

Arboreal Deinonychus

silent current
#

The weight system was a place holder that the devs are getting rid of

brisk mesa
#

Cerato does different damage to everything but it isnt weight based

strange wave
#

Levi you want what a 75N biteforce 100 kg and 350 hp deinonychus?
@barren zephyr stats dont matter, dont put them in a suggestion in regards to current game balance

covert birch
#

Hmmm, wonder how growth will play into that

honest sparrow
#

yeah arboreal/ quick ambush stealth hunter deinonychus could work really well

brisk mesa
#

I;e if Cerato is too strong against Magyarosaurus, you can literally increase Cerato's damage against Magy without fucking any other matchups

#

its fundamentally a flawless system

#

imagine if say, in Overwatch, you could make idfk Black Widow do less damage against Roadhog or someshit

#

literally allows the finest tuning of the balance instrument

honest sparrow
#

OW balance is fucked anyway

covert birch
#

thats some great shit

#

Filipe is a god for doing that

#

We dont talk about ow balance ptera

pulsar lake
#

yes with what a 75N biteforce deinonychus 100kg and 350 hp?
@barren zephyr don't talk about stats, talk about gameplay.

Deinonychus could climb trees and hunt in. It could also pounce from trees and have a kind of "gliding mechanic.

honest sparrow
#

I need the pin

brisk mesa
#

OW balance is fucked anyway
@honest sparrow moreso an example of how Filipe's god tier system would be able to salvage that dumpster fire

@barren zephyr you do realise that uh, Utah's getting a feathered option down the line, right?
