worn pumice
#

spinos have already been determined to have its kuckles break if it walked on them

barren zephyr
#

But some theropod with the ability to go quad mode (with no scientific justification, like a lot of speculative abilities and designs for creatures in TI) would be interesting

ebon crypt
#

Evrima spino is a maybe, but sucho and bary is a nah

worn pumice
#

sucho quad is cursed

nova anchor
#

sorry but quad spino looks dumb

barren zephyr
icy lion
#

id rather just have a quadrupedal carni than a biped theropod animated as a quadruped

nova anchor
#

yes

ebon crypt
#

Presto

median ore
#

Agreed Super

nova anchor
#

presto yeah

icy lion
#

megalania is confirmed so my focus is presto

median ore
#

Also - real animals don't care if they look dumb. 😂

barren zephyr
#

It is just a big monitor lizard, actually

arctic nimbus
#

When apexes crouch, they don't full on squad like they do in legacy, so a Spino crouching is probably not reaching the ground with its forelimbs.

median ore
#

It's what I love about real animals. They can be weird and dumb and still function in their niche.

ebon crypt
#

I feel like people judge evrima spino a lot already, letting it go quad might break someone

worn pumice
#

presto would be pretty lit tbh

barren zephyr
#

Yeah it would

#

Galloping croc relative

icy lion
#

presto would be so fun its ridiculous

worn pumice
ebon crypt
#

Presto is Chad.

median ore
#

Dragon, the fact that a quad spino might break some players makes me want quad spino more

ebon crypt
#

Good for you

worn pumice
#

i think in game a quad spino would look lit if it was crouching only

arctic nimbus
hollow mirage
#

I can see it being quad in an idle animation for a minute or two

ebon crypt
#

Besides, we already have a quad spino

icy lion
#

isle spinos legs are just way too long for any sort of 4-leggedness

dapper pulsar
#

I think that we've already failed with Spino so we should stop trying to inject interesting back into it.

median ore
#

Neuro, that concept I can't see going quad, no.

worn pumice
#

id much rather not have spino quad and get presto the chad

hollow mirage
#

im scarred already, there is a duck waddle quad belly sliding spinosaur. please no quad spino in the isle ;-;

nova anchor
#

spino quad just looks absurd

worn pumice
#

qud spino is cursed

arctic nimbus
hollow mirage
#

woke

median ore
#

The second concept is more capable of quad Nuro

#

The first had too stubby arms

ebon crypt
worn pumice
#

lol

icy lion
#

tapwing drew a realistic spino not long after the 2020 findings came out and its great

nova anchor
median ore
dapper pulsar
#

The croco duck is great.

barren zephyr
#

Actually, why not make the current hypo spino less hypo-y

icy lion
#

if hyper rex is getting a redo id imagine spino and giga might too

barren zephyr
#

Then you have a sail backed quadruped

icy lion
#

dimetrodon TI_Troll

barren zephyr
#

Dimetrodon

ebon crypt
#

Many people have already spoke up about how H-spino has actually some pretty realistic proportions if you take away the monster part

dapper pulsar
hollow mirage
#

The current evrima spino looks more terrestrial than aquatic tbh

median ore
#

Gib thicc croc tail plz

barren zephyr
#

Ok but what about quadrupedal theropods which aren't spino.

nova anchor
#

honestly though evrima spino looks badass as hell. Accurate spino is cool but the new design looks great

dapper pulsar
#

I do not agree.

icy lion
#

i cant think of any theropods with long enough arms to not look objectively silly while quad

arctic nimbus
barren zephyr
#

There are no known theropods which were quadrupeds because of not being able have their palm facing the ground

median ore
#

With Spino the theory is knuckle-walking, like real-world anteaters.

barren zephyr
#

Yeah

icy lion
#

not any more

nova anchor
#

knuckle walk was disproven was it not

barren zephyr
#

Yes

hollow mirage
barren zephyr
#

Spino's center of mass is at the hips

nova anchor
#

also it looks dumb as hell

median ore
#

To google

barren zephyr
#

So it can walk upright

dapper pulsar
#

They hold themselves weird now.

ebon crypt
#

Quad spino theory was disproven already, also it can literally suffocate itself with how its bones are

barren zephyr
#

in a sort of upright-ish waddle

nova anchor
#

weird fucking dinosaur

dapper pulsar
#

Yeah

ebon crypt
worn pumice
#

quad spino is disproven not to mention if it tried to walk on its hands it would break

barren zephyr
#

Actually not that upright even

#

It would have probably been dragging it's tail on the ground while moving

hollow mirage
#

?

barren zephyr
#

So it would have been somewhat horizontal in terms of posture, with the tail giving support via being held on the ground.

ebon crypt
#

Then again, this ain't paleo talk

barren zephyr
#

Ye

dapper pulsar
#

Y'all ever change an animal that changed into something super unique to avoid competition with the other super-predators in it's ecosystem so it can have more competition with the super predators in it's new ecosystem?

barren zephyr
#

We oughtta go there

Question: When using Nvidia GeForce NOW, is there a way to switch between Evrima and legacy?

brittle ivy
plain fulcrum
#

Right ok my bad

finite valley
#

What's with the afterimage on dinosaurs as they move around? Anyone know about this?

jaunty plover
#

its on everything, trees and foliage included

finite valley
#

Are they going to fix it or is it intended? I wasn't sure if I was the only one who had that

jaunty plover
#

Im sure it will be fixed

#

I figure its just some sort of placeholder motion blur

finite valley
#

Just wanted to bring attention to it if it wasn't. Looks bad. Sorry to the devs if they know and heard it a million times

brittle ivy

#

Sorry'

brittle ivy
#

You're fine, it's all good

#

@idle ibex mods are cool, but I was meaning something more official, like a built-in setting

ebon crypt
#

And mods aren't as easy to add to a game by just pushing the "allow mods" button. They'd still have to put together a dev kit for that

fossil moth
#

Is it me or did you hear the birds fly away and cry out when they made call power in the forest?

still raptor
#

@idle ibex That was part of a system that was mentioned a few years ago called the Afinity System

jovial otter
#

I'd love the toxicity levels thing for Magy

paper geyser
#

same here, sounds like an awesome idea

#

only issue is magy chasing carnivores around without them being able to fight back

wooden drift
#

@full torrent
My guess is; while Troodon has a toxin that just hurts real bad over time and has taxing effects when the dose is in large quantities, Dilo has some form of a hallucinogenic venom.

#

Just my two cents on that thought, though

nova anchor
#

@dense wagon actually a really great suggestion for magy. I'd love to see it have those features.

manic knoll
#

@dense wagon that suggestion is fucking awesome

#

gib devs

#

Will there be a single player mod or not?

gaunt briar
#

@solid wedge thank you!

solid wedge
#

I hope to see some of that stuff implemented by you in game, hopefully theyll ask permission first

dapper pulsar
#

Maybe Magy is the only thing that can eat these toxic plants.

dense wagon
#

that would make the most sense. anything else would recieve the same nasty effects if they tried

dense wagon
#

I mean inflict lol

#

they wouldn't be able to become poisonous

#

they would get become poisoned

#

all except magy

#

the same way monarch caterpillars eat the leaves of a plant called milkweed, they become poisonous and taste disgusting

dapper pulsar
#

Poisonous plants could grow in patches that are only capable of fully supporting one Magy, resulting in battles over them to reflect Cerato's cannibalistic tendencies and lonely nature.

#

Well, they would spawn other places, but there would be patches.

#

They are shown in groups though, so that might not hold water.

dense wagon
#

like, an evolved and more potent form of milkweed

dapper pulsar
#

It could be nocturnal. Genetically altered milkweed that got accidentally released, forcing them to create a new animal to combat it's spread.

dense wagon
#

lore is always a plus

dapper pulsar
#

Magy could also push over predators like in it's concept art.

#

Nah.

#

Maybe just Carno.

#

This would add more benefit to when it shoulder checks carnivores.

#

Baby Ptera gameplay should just be 3 dimensional flappy bird

#

Yes.

@gray frost auto run is already in the game

I was kicked mid-combat also, thankfully my opponent was kicked at the same time and I managed to connect first and run to mud.

barren zephyr
#

@lofty pagoda remove the x. U want to play as ben

lofty pagoda
#

😰

barren zephyr
#

😏

dapper pulsar
#

Ben's the reason they abandoned The Islands. All the world's navies lay just outside of our view ready to fire if he ever steps foot in the water, as that could spell the end to life itself.

ebon crypt
#

Nah, Ben was just really annoying and couldn't die so the people gave up and left

dapper pulsar
#

Ben will inevitably consume all the universe and create another one inside of him to continue sustaining him. Soon all will be Ben.

ebon crypt
#

He's just an annoying dilo frog, but if you see him as a God due to immortality go ahead

dapper pulsar
#

Ben sustains.

ebon crypt
#

Sure bud

dapper pulsar
#

Ben creates and Ben ends.

#

Ben is Ben.

#

All jokes aside Ben should be able to swallow anything whole regardless of size

#

It's hunger maxes out at half

trail tide
#

Ben.

dapper pulsar
#

It must continue to feed.

#

Fuck Hypos

#

Ben should be the one to balance out servers

#

Ben should consume the Hypo megapacks that'll occur.

#

Ben should part the clouds when it spawns and leaves.

#

Either this of Ben should lie dormant beneath the Earth, his tongue splitting off and forming the large carnivorous plants.

@violet arrow hi, read your file but don't probably understand how to divide 3 spinosairid creatures in game. Jack of all trades species always suffer from specialist in direct confrontaion. Realistically bary was something like cera, and its a pity but i don't see the place for bary in the isle.
Spino could be the king of big lakes, with high metabolism and 80% fish diet.
Deino could be the king of swamps with low metabolism, and live where spino could not survive.
Zucho could be made as tanky night traveller, fishing at night in the lakes, and running if has a problem, but probably there is no place for bary. It should be somewgere between cera and sucho.

wild stone

@sharp comet Adjusting the number of AI isn't really the problem, the problem is that carnivores have 45 minutes of food and 30 minutes of water, more than enough to just spend some of that time lollygagging instead of struggling to survive. I'm a proponent of having a high number of AI that is capable of challenging the player, rather than easy AI that is just scarce. We already know AI is going to become more challenging because right now dryo AI never dodges.

When AI have stamina and actually eat and drink, bleed like every other dino, and use their normal abilities, they will be more challenging prey. It's just a matter of time to adjust them to be difficult enough. I don't think making them more scarce is going to do a bit of good for the game. (Even in the short term).

#

Also, to say that the AI we have in evrima is in any way similar to legacy is hyperbole.

sharp comet
#

You are saying once and that is the thing, they are not that AI currently and you cant keep things this easy just in anticipation for when they will get smarter and until AI does get smarter/harder to hunt is when the number should perhaps go up again but currently it is way too easy

wild stone
sharp comet
# wild stone Also, to say that the AI we have in evrima is *in any way* similar to legacy is ...

It is not similar in behavior but the outcome of the presence of it is the same because although it doesn't spawn on you and it is smarter than legacy AI, the presence of it around every corner and the fact that its that easy to hunt makes it so players don't have to rely on hunting other players at all and can just live off the easy to hunt and kill AI, practically getting free food

sharp comet
#

All of these changes together make things way too easy for carnivores

wild stone
#

It's as simple as changing some of those other factors, so that carnivores get hungry faster and stuff like that. But we've already had it explained to us in the patch notes why the team made the decision to make food and water values what they are, and I support their reasoning.

I can assure you AI is not around every corner. But I think players should be able to rely on hunting AI. Prey is prey, whether it's another player or not. I do want AI to be as difficult as a player to hunt, though.

Essentially what you're asking is that the developers roll back the fix, and allow AI spawns to remain bugged. That isn't the way to a healthy game.

#

The only reason AI was as scarce as it was in the past was due to unintended behavior, and the devs have fixed it, so now that AI are working properly, you want them to essentially remove AI as a viable source of food from the game, rather than make it a greater challenge to access.

I have to say I disagree with that assessment.

sharp comet
#

You have more stamina, more hunger, more than double the AI (if indeed it wasn't spawning properly), how could you expect to not be way too easy.
Also changing the other factors doesn't matter, this is a large map and the other factors are good as they are, I was just including them in to show how carnivore life has been made easier by other aspects of the patch, reducing AI is the most reasonable thing to do because currently they are around every corner and they are too easy to kill, thus making the game much easier for all carnivores and helping promote things like AFK and carebearing and you say all prey is prey but in reality that's not the case, a player playing as a dryo will make much smarter more calculated decisions like to dodge, juke, hide and also spot you from farther away along with hearing you, this prey is not hard to kill and is generally just free food on wheels for the dinosaurs, yes it runs but every player with a pair of eyeballs can relocate it and finish it off.
Also I never said to roll back the fix and leave it bugged, don't put words in my mouth, I even said AI numbers should be increased from the previous patch, all I am saying is to reduce AI numbers, this most definitely is not telling them to break their own game.

#

Yes they had unintended behavior which made them scarce, even though there were 150 of them, that was a problem, its now fixed and so you can have normal amounts of AI without not seeing half of them, also yes of course AI shouldn't be your only source of food, because its too easy to hunt and find, it doesn't do anything other than run and even that it doesn't do sometimes, its literally free food which makes the game way too easy for players which is why until it gets smarter at least it should be left as a bonus for players and not a viable source of food.

wild stone
#

Reducing the number of AI only slightly won't matter, though. What they ought to do, as a short-term fix, is make the spawns more randomized.
I don't understand why you have a problem with just making the AI smarter. If it needs to be smarter, because it's too easy right now, then make it smarter. Don't nerf it back into oblivion lmao

If you don't believe that AI should be a sustainable food source, you need to have a good hard think about why we have AI in the first place.

sharp comet
#

I have no problem making it smarter, the thing is that its not smart which is why it shouldn't be a reliable source of food, because its too easy to kill and find.
Once it is smart enough to the point where it isn't a happymeal then sure it can be a viable source of food

#

So the way to not make it a reliable source of food is to make it more scarce, believe it or not but players can survive on this map without being fed by AI constantly

#

At its current status AI should be the occasional meal which you get, not your viable source of food

#

Because it is too unintelligent and thus makes the game too easy, once its intelligent then sure it can be viable as a source of food

wild stone
#

Take a look at the patch notes.
With this update comes a standardization to the hunger and thirst values. Currently, every species is set to starve after 45 minutes and dehydrate after 30 minutes. It must be made abundantly clear that these are not set in stone, as we recognise that this would make it far too easy for some of our characters to grow. This is the process that has been decided on by QA, so that we could have every species capable of surviving, while also giving the team more time to finetune each class so that their values aren't tedious to manage but also not too easy to survive on - this is a survival game after all!

sharp comet
#

Yes I know they said that they know some of these will be too easy and so they require feedback

#

I am giving feedback

wild stone
#

It's OK if some dinosaurs are too easy to grow right now. That's not an issue. This isn't going to be the state of things forever, it's temporary. But nerfing AI spawns isn't going to fix the fact that dinos have an easy time of growing right now.

sharp comet
#

Thing is in this post is that the devs didn't anticipate that the AI along with the hunger values would make it easier so I am showing them that

#

You know the devs are people and they can make unintended changes too, the fact that AI is also helping make surviving easier is not an intended change

wild stone
#

I'm fairly certain they did anticipate these changes making the game easier - that's why they said as much in the foreword to the patch notes. They have already acknowledged that the game is easy as a result of standardized hunger and thirst, and increased AI.

sharp comet
#

So I am telling them that with this feedback

#

And to be honest with the current amount of free happy meals around you could reduce hunger values to 15 minutes and carnivores would still survive

wild stone
#

More hyperbole.

sharp comet
wild stone
#

How do you know what the devs were expecting this patch to do? Are you QA or something?

sharp comet
#

You know what, I am making an assumption and who cares if I am making one, the point is that even if they anticipated it, they were asking people to give feedback on how things are too easy and how to fix it

#

I am doing that

#

Are you against giving feedback >

#

Thanks

dapper forge
#

I just wish they make one thing perfect and then move to the other

#

just putting in things for the sake of putting it will not solve anything, just create more problems

#

they put in some content now...they should focus on balancing this current content, then move on the next one

#

going back an forth is time consuming and resource consuming

wild stone
#

Love the hotsprings idea, chai!

#

@inner hound im unsure about a northern/frozen island. Maybe if the roster is expanded specifically to suite the enviroment or alternative artic species for prexisting animals in the roster. However some of the biomes do look and sound very nice

inner hound
#

yea the arctic enviroment is a hard to do thing to make it work.

#

roster wise, and gameplay wise. i tried to the best of my ability to do that, and i def dont mind when people could point out mistakes or making things better peepoHappy

barren zephyr
#

would it be okay to suggest fish AI species and other things to make the whole place feel alive?

inner hound
#

ye

#

Someone asked that if your deino stayed at the surface of the water for long enough, that small birds might come sit on your head lol

barren zephyr
#

so we don't have catfish in what would be Alaska

wild stone
#

Ah, I see.

#

That sockeye salmon has got some character to him, lol

barren zephyr

tho we could replace the catfish with sturgeons

Although it looks a lot more like a map from that book ancient chronicles of darkness which I really like

jade schooner
unreal ridge
#

yeah male pteranodon are a pretty large animal

lilac swallow
#

They weight less than a human and their feet are human like, they are not grabbing shit with them

vagrant lagoon
#

Probably even juvi carno would be to big to push it from ground

lilac swallow
#

It couldn't even with a compy and not due weight but because those feet can't grab shit

vagrant lagoon
#

Maybe its to difficult to make new mechanics only for catching small dryos

vagrant lagoon
lilac swallow
#

Isle Utah is heavily modified to do so, I don't see isle ptera having eagle like feet to grab shit

valid zephyr
#

there is nothing in game currently that it will have the strength to pick up and carry away

#

compy maybe

jovial sleet
#

i hope elder ptera is that size

sacred wyvern
#

If they wanted to they could bs it like spino and magy although I’d rather have normal pteranodon

inner hound

@thorny crag bro german looks so whack on my UI despair i appreciate my language but reading games in my language is so uncanny for me ISSOU

jade schooner
#

I doubt they’d go with picking with its feet but with its mouth

#

rather replace the catfish with alligator gars

inner hound
#

also chad ngl

it would actually be nice becuz there would be predatory fish for small deinos to worry about

wait what about tiger fish

ebon crypt

#

was gonna sat muskelunge but their already adding it

Piranhas in swamps would be fun. Nice and social unless you start swimming while bleeding

Then they'd nip at you and reopen your wounds

dull breach
#

wegdhass that just encourages unofficials to make pay to win/play which is not intended gameplay not to mention official servers would never get the chance as admins only admin if that at all not to mention that it would also waste the devs time and effort on giving it player animations for things for a creature that would only be obtained through admins

We need more badass feesh in the Isle

vagrant lagoon
#

I think it would be good to have crabs and dead sharks on seashore. Then it would not just be empty.

barren zephyr
#

I heard they were adding mawsonia or some sort of prehistoric freshwater coelacanth

dull breach
#

agreed zebra like in ark for example the dead whale on some beaches maybe somethin similiar like that washed up things maybe washed up bones/seaweed and rotting carcasses that cerato could potentially eat since i believe they have able to eat toxic flesh maybe rotting too im not sure if they can or not

barren zephyr
#

Ceratosaurus probably has a very hardy digestive and immune system, so it will probably be able to cope with carrion easily.

dull breach
#

it could be like a form of dead ai for ceras haha but then they might turn out to be beach dwellers

#

@hushed shadow i agree with you nest sites for ai would be cool the growth stages is already a thing however ai use to be non existent so the juvie dryos were a myth but they indeed do exist ive seen over 5

vagrant lagoon
#

There should not be that much food, but realy thing beach should not just be epty space. There can be some king of algea for herbs also.

dull breach
#

yea true

#

a beach cave that leads inland would be cool for another way in aswell

vagrant lagoon
#

And i think its easier tp make dead ai, then living ai))

dull breach
#

also very true

dark bronze
#

i've actually seen a juvi dryo AI before

pine cape
#

A good way to deal with this is give AI the ability to dodge and juke a predator. Maybe ring at at sharp angles if a predator is close

has any suggestion that was made in the general feedback made it to the game ?

worn pumice
#

i just want snow in the isle TI_Succ

sonic cloud
#

Jaguar bary is made redundant by Cerato, Fisher bary is made redundant by Sucho/Austro.
It’s just a useless animal that honestly could be scrapped and nothing of value would be lost

worn pumice
#

id say just replace sucho with bary. Sucho is just bigger and a fisher as well so yea

sonic cloud
#

scrap animal that’s already been modelled and an animal which has already had work put into it, which has been in an earlier version of the game far more recently for a smaller version of said animal with none of those things

#

Ok

worn pumice
#

?

lilac swallow
worn pumice
#

i mean id rather have sucho instead of bary but bary is a cool dino too

lilac swallow
#

with utah and dilo mono is totally redundant

worn pumice
#

i mean its the same thing as saying why have kentro when you have stego

lilac swallow
#

the redundant argument is useless unless you want to add literally the same thing with another name (carcha and tarbo)

barren zephyr
#

Why have rex when you have giga?

#

But yeah, having sucho and bary isn't a horrible idea

#

Besides they will both be unique anyways

lilac swallow
#

hell why even have more than a small carni herbi, medium carni herbi and apex carni herbi, you only need 6 playables

worn pumice
#

yo like why diablo when trike?

#

why rex when acro?

#

these arguments dont make sense

lilac swallow
#

why have more than gali, utah, para, allo, trike and rex, the rest of dinos are just modifications of these

barren zephyr
#

Map knowledge on legacy really isn't the key to finding AI food, it's just listening and going toward the noises the AI makes.

lilac swallow
#

map knowledge works on legacy to know where to afk grow TI_Troll

vagrant lagoon
#

The problem is that bary don't have its niche. The analogy could that we already have acro and allo, but want to add Epanterias. But its basicaly allo, but bigger. So it is to similar to add it. Or you have trike and diablo,but want to add styracosaurus.

#

Probably can't imagine what mono will be. Its probably would be dilo with some other special ability.

sonic cloud
#

Mono im sceptical about

#

I’d argue Acro is redundant as much as it pains me to admit

#

It’s pretty much a hybrid of Allo and Giga and I highly doubt much can be done with it tbh

violet arrow
sonic cloud
#

You don’t

violet arrow
sonic cloud
#

And thats also the solution

violet arrow
sonic cloud
#

That’s like saying “where do you fit in tarbo when you have Rex and Alberto”

#

You just don’t

violet arrow
#

exactly

vagrant lagoon
#

Acro could be made a bit different from giga. On top tier you have a bit more freedom then big tier.

violet arrow
#

Acro I feel would be the more faster and leaner version of giga

sonic cloud
#

The concept art shows Acro being bulkier though

violet arrow
#

yea, but bulky animals can still run quite fast

sonic cloud
#

Making it faster and leaner isn’t really on the table anymore

violet arrow
#

true

#

Different attacks perhaps?

lilac swallow
#

we fucking have taco, oro, hypsi, and homa together, having dryo as the same but slightly bigger too, redundancy arguments are pointless with this fact

sonic cloud
#

You’ve literally just admitted that Baryonyx is redundant

lilac swallow
#

i didnt

#

i said redundancy arguments are irelevant, that doesnt imply i personally think bary is

vagrant lagoon
#

Acro cpuld be short distance runner, giga- long distance

violet arrow
worn pumice
#

who needs bary tbh when u got sucho, sucho is literally bigger bary

sonic cloud
#

Pretty much

worn pumice
#

also never use prehistoric wildlife like look at this shit lol

#

lmao

#

its literally the same thing just bigger

lilac swallow
worn pumice
#

actually nah after looking at things bary is difficult to put into evirma

violet arrow
#

yea

vagrant lagoon
#

So it could be caves or mountains.

ebon crypt
#

I mean, just look at all of the ceratopsians we have

lilac swallow
#

seriously, people legit ignore half of the roster when using these arguments

worn pumice
#

ceratopsians each have their own model bary and sucho are very similar with pretty much the same niche

ebon crypt
#

Taco, trike, ava, proto, pachyrhino (pretty sure is confirmed)

violet arrow
ebon crypt
#

Oh, and also dibble

lilac swallow
#

bary and sucho are only symilar for someone who doesnt know bary and sucho

worn pumice
#

dibble and trike look very different

violet arrow
worn pumice
#

i still dont get how u would execute bary into evirma

#

I proposed a mid-tier Evasive fisher and scavenger but Cerato already is that

#

im of the opinion that it should be replaced by a mainly-aquatic ichthyovenator but eh

They function the same just in a different scale. If we already had something like Pachyrhino planned or another mid sized ceratopsian then yeah Diablo would be redundant. But we dont

violet arrow
worn pumice
#

oh yea lol

violet arrow
#

But the problem with that is Isla spiro doesn't have an ocean area to swim in

icy lion
#

if sucho is meant to be a wader/more land based why not have something more aquatic, you dont even need to replace it really, could still be bary

worn pumice
#

we can keep bary in i just hope its not redundant

#

devs are pretty creative im sure they can think of something

violet arrow
#

It needs a new ecological niche that the map lacks for the moment

vagrant lagoon
lilac swallow
#

also for "same niche just in different scale" troodon and dilo?

worn pumice
#

maybe bary lives in caves? or like enclosed spaces?

icy lion
#

troo and dilo at least have different venom but yea

violet arrow
vagrant lagoon
worn pumice
#

dilo is bigger with hallucenigenic venom while troodon is some type of dmg over time

sonic cloud
#

Theres also not an animal close to the size of troodon doing roughly the same thing like cerato for bary

worn pumice
vagrant lagoon
#

Trodon would enter buildings, dilo is to big

# worn pumice

Spinosaurus isn't even that much bigger than Suchomimus

lilac swallow
#

but bary and sucho arent close in size? 1-2 tons isnt close to 5 tons, would be like deleting dible/kentro when we have trike/stego

worn pumice
#

is that JW TI_Wheeze

Only about a third bigger in terms of mass, by the looks of it

Theres also not an animal close to the size of troodon doing roughly the same thing like cerato for bary
@lilac swallow

lilac swallow
#

and i just literally said bary and sucho arent close in size

#

can you read?

worn pumice
#

still think adding bary is redundant

lilac swallow
#

in fact, sucho-spino are closer

violet arrow
worn pumice
#

i dont see how ur gonna fit bary in

violet arrow
#

The mainly aquatic route works if the map is modified

sonic cloud
#

Your dyslexia is alarming, I don’t see how cerato can be rearranged to spell sucho

worn pumice
#

like sum ppl say why kentro when stego but theres a big difference in model and the predators that would hunt it

violet arrow
lilac swallow
#

maybe i have dyslexia, but is not necesay to attack me, you are just being a dick at this point and contributing nothing to the conversation

worn pumice
ebon crypt
#

Wasn't bary originally added because of progression? But besides that, I do feel like bary can still be made to be unique, just follow this simple guide #general-feedback message

worn pumice
#

ig bary could make its way into the isle but like i wouldnt care or be surprised if its scrapped

lilac swallow
#

i will allways say that as long as we have the oro-taco-hypsi-homa quartet and the utah-dilo-mono trio nothing is "too redundant"

lilac swallow
#

i will admit that bary is less unique than lets say, rex (apart from size nothing really plays like rex), but that doesnt mean its beyond the"too redundant" bar

worn pumice
#

its pretty redudant tbh

violet arrow
#

yea

worn pumice
#

it'll prolly get in anyways

lilac swallow
#

no more than the 2 groups i already said

worn pumice
#

oro taco and hypsi seem very different

paper geyser
#

yeah there's not really such a thing as redundant when we have almost carbon copies of dinos already in, just with little changes made to each one

violet arrow
#

ecologically they're the same

worn pumice
#

i still think cave bary is pretty cool ngl

violet arrow
#

yea

#

like a subterranean Spinosaur

worn pumice
#

like a cave bary and theres some water that leads out to like a river or something else

violet arrow
#

yea

worn pumice

would be cool

hopefully a map designer gives us snow

barren zephyr
#

i hope to god they give trike at least a remodel and some new animations

worn pumice
#

pls give trike new animations

#

a herbivore that killed rexes shouldnt be running like that

#

also the 2020 bone remodel of trike is amazing its head is massive

i can never get over that awkward trike run from legacy

it looks like it broke its legs or something

I asked about autorun and a lot of you guys memed me. I'm actually curious why so many are against it?

hushed shadow
#

@oblique summit uuh what?

#

you mean like

#

IK?

edgy hamlet
#

^If youre talking about ik, where the body adjusts to the floor angle, theyre already working on it

barren zephyr
#

@nova anchor I agree completely, lots and lots of herbivores have carnivorous tendencies, e.g. horses eating birds and hadrosaurs eating crabs. I think once diets are added in, small AI animals like turtles and lizards and birds could help supplement bigger herbivore's diets (as well as helping carnivores from starving, that is a diff story)

nova anchor
#

hell yeah, I'd love to see a trike just chomp a lizard and eat it

barren zephyr
#

like a triceratops cracking open a turtle or smth and getting a little bit of food would be cool

nova anchor
#

yeah

barren zephyr
#

on the topic of AI turtles and diets, if they ever do get added in, I think animals with stronger bite forces should get more from eating them

#

like a utah couldn't eat much of a turtle because of the shell, but a cerato could eat the whole thing

nova anchor
#

Yeah, or maybe only animals with stronger bite forces/beaks/something like that could eat them

#

like trike

#

it'd be neat to see that worked into the diet system

#

@barren zephyr I think infectious bites are a neat idea - maybe not for rex, but a neat idea

barren zephyr
#

yeah it's really similar to venom conceptually, I didn't wanna use that word because I know it would rub ppl the wrong way

nova anchor
#

yeah, maybe instead of draining health, it builds up and when it gets too high it starts to give you debuffs?

#

something like that maybe?

edgy hamlet
#

I think that mechanic would be better for giga or acro since the rex is already pretty strong and isnt about killing over time but rather kill things fast with its biteforce

nova anchor
#

yeah that's what I was thinking

#

I think acro would be more of a bleeder, maybe it should go to giga or possibly albert too

edgy hamlet
#

giga would make sense cuz its probs more of a scavenger eating the not-so-good corpses lol, would mean lotsa bacteria

dapper pulsar
#

I will support Deinocheirus until the bitter end

blazing charm
#

Can trample over smaller targets and possibly knock medium-sized dinosaurs over by bumping into them while running.

Honestly not sure why that's worth bringing up, sorta seems like something that would be worth giving to all large creatures.

dapper pulsar
#

I would also like it if that happened to Carnos

#

@pulsar crystal We do that in this channel.

#

Deinocheirus doesn't crackle or pop, it just snaps.

thorny lynx
#

@pulsar crystal Down the line when we add larger creatures, it would be an appropriate addition to the omnivore roster.

pulsar crystal
#

that’s so far in the future

dapper pulsar
#

Where the animals are least developed and we can be the most hopeful.

pulsar crystal
#

We need to worry about updates that are going to happen soon

dapper pulsar
#

There's a very easy joke here.

pulsar crystal
#

Carno needs more competition therefore update 4 and 5 should be switched, u want them to develop a whole new creature that isn’t going to happen

dapper pulsar
#

You notice this was posted in the suggestions channel, and not balance feedback, right?

pulsar crystal
#

It’s not just me that feels like this change should happen. Also that is my suggestion

dapper pulsar
#

Ok, but how is that a counter to Deinocheirus?

pulsar crystal
#

deinocheirus is slow on land and isn’t going to be able to fight on land as good as in the water 

#

Rn carno is to good in the meta and needs competition

#

Utah isn’t strong enough unless it’s a 4v1 and deino hasn’t even came out yet how our we suppose to know how it fits in the meta?

dapper pulsar
#
  1. The semi-aquatic is semi-aquatic yeah.
  2. Yeah, it hunts small things in a world of only small things, and things it can easily run from
  3. Yeah. I don't understand... Are you complaining Deino shouldn't be in the game because we don't know how it will fit into the meta? I think that applies to literally everything that isn't in the game right now since our 2 biggest references, reality and Legacy, don't matter anymore.
pulsar crystal
#

If u can read what we were saying is that after update 3 if carno is to good in the Meta still they should flip update 4 and 5 (not 3) because cerato would be another mid tier that can rival crano

#

Carno*^

vast wolf
#

cerato is not a mid tier

dapper pulsar
#

How does that apply to Deino though?

vast wolf
#

its half carnos weight basically

dapper pulsar
#

Like, at all. All suggestions don't start relating to yours once you suggest it. This is a different suggestion.

vast wolf
#

even blown up its never killing one thats smart and refuses to fight in a forest.

pulsar crystal
#

You said is there a counter to deino and I said on land it’s weak

dapper pulsar
#

I meant a counter argument

#

not an in game counter.

#

I can see the confusion now, sorry.

pulsar crystal
#

oh either way it’s not just me that feels like update 5 and 4 should be switched people are agreeing, also it’s a fiction game therefore they can make cerato bigger if they have to.

dapper pulsar
#

They can upscale it a bit, but maybe don't take anymore inspiration from Jurassic Park 3.

pulsar crystal
#

Yeah then carno would have another carnivore that could rival it 

#

But that’s my opinion some people disagree and I understand that

vast wolf
#

even still cerato is not winning in the open and carnos likely wont go into the jungle after one even if they do they can just run away.

pulsar crystal
#

To balance the cerato give it good bleed or hit harder then carno it wouldn’t be that hard to upscale it

dapper pulsar
#

Do you have the size chart on you, Gharial?

pulsar crystal
#

Nope

dapper pulsar
#

This isn't sarcasm or a quip I just deleted my one with Hatze edited in and I wanna see how they compare.

#

Cerato bacteria bite

pulsar crystal
#

Update 4 being packy and bone break system which are not as important as cerato and diet system

#

Yea giving cerato bacteria bite should balance it

worn pumice
#

deino counters everything because everything in the end needs water

pulsar crystal
#

yes but there our spots on the map shallow enough that deino can’t hide in there

worn pumice
#

but u cant always be at those spots

dapper pulsar
#

Also it's slow

worn pumice
#

this will especially be true when diets come in

dapper pulsar
#

and fucking huge

#

It won't get the jump on you

#

like ever

pulsar crystal
#

yeah deino is going to be slow so if u get away from its jaw it’s not catching u

worn pumice
#

ye

dapper pulsar
#

Wait which one are we talking about

pulsar crystal
#

🐊

dapper pulsar
#

Oh

worn pumice
pulsar crystal
#

And also if they push update 5( cerato) before update 4 we will have 2 mid tiers magy and cerato which would be better then having Pachy

#

More variety

worn pumice
#

pls now that u say magy is coming i want update 4 most def b4 then update 5. m a g y TI_Yikes

dapper pulsar
#

But it would delay the Perk and UI overhaul.

#

Also Pachy could thrive here.

#

For once

pulsar crystal
#

yeah true

worn pumice
#

i think pachy is a direct counter to utah technically right

pulsar crystal
#

if u like my idea happy lion go to general feedback and like my comment

dapper pulsar
#

Pachy should be a counter to anything in the small size range

#

and lightly built mediums

pulsar crystal
#

Ye but Utah is already under powered in my opinion the only thing it beats are like Dryos

dapper pulsar
#

Utah is a pack hunter though

#

It shouldn't be able to wreck much house alone.

#

Or like any

pulsar crystal
#

Ye but max pack limit is like 6

worn pumice
#

yea after reading it it makes a ton of sense. I mean carno doesnt have any mid tiers with it rn. It cant hunt stegos no matter how much ppl say they can. If a stego is good it can fend off quite a few carnos so carno needs things in its tier rn

#

yo i just wanna put this out theres that 4 pounces from a utah to a stego kills it

#

plus they iframes which is a bug

pulsar crystal
#

Ye stego is 2 good right now so maybe if cerato had bacteria bite it, a pack of them could kill stegos

worn pumice
#

and thy can literally pounce any part of the creature

#

stego isnt too good the issue is theres nothng as good as it rn

pulsar crystal
#

Ye true it’s basically and apex

vast wolf
#

stego is just the first apex in an ecosystem thats about a third of its size.

worn pumice
#

i wanna say deino is a threat to stego and it is but like stego if on land is prolly gonna win unless the stego is brain ded or deino is overpowered

pulsar crystal
#

But if cerato gets bacteria bite it, a pack of them could be a real threat

vast wolf
#

its definitely going to be changed when other apexes join.

worn pumice
#

i feel like a bacteria bite would be good for megalania

vast wolf
#

deino will have to win a stamina battle to kill stego. its possible but the larest things that don wanted it to instant kill with no struggle were about 1 ton.

#

megalania is getting venom.

pulsar crystal
#

cerato like decaying dinos so it would make sense for them to have a lot of gross bacteria

worn pumice
#

yea i was just gonna say mega is prolly getting venom

vast wolf
#

cerato dosent need bacteria bite.

dapper pulsar
#

Cerato needs everything.

pulsar crystal
#

Would be cool and then it would be a threat to bigger dinos

worn pumice
#

im guessing cera will be able to dish and take a good amount of dmg in its tier but be weak to bleed. would be a good balance

vast wolf
#

its a brawler that muscles smaller animals off of kills and can take out decently sized prey.

dapper pulsar
#

But what if it could bully off medium animals too?

pulsar crystal
#

Exactly why it should come before pachy

vast wolf
#

cerato was stated to heal from grievous wounds in its original roadmap description.

dapper pulsar
#

So it can bully off Medium animals

worn pumice
#

the way i interpreted that was cera having good heals

vast wolf
#

except it takes 1/3 of the time to get update 4 and the perks system out.

dapper pulsar
#

I wouldn't say that.

vast wolf
#

most of update 4 is coding.

#

excluding pachy.

worn pumice
#

hope perks are like not big changes to gameplay just little things to help u since u survived for so long

dapper pulsar
#

I think that's

vast wolf
#

update 5 has gore assets 2 playables with no finished animations and coding on top of that.

worn pumice
#

i kinda wanna see the UI overhaul just cuz im bored of looking at this ui for 2 years now

vast wolf
#

perks wont buff stats like speed.

worn pumice
pulsar crystal
#

Ye but if that start soon it could come out after update 3

vast wolf
#

an example is you can canabalize but your eyes have a soft red color.

worn pumice
#

thats pretty cool

vast wolf
#

same thing can be said for update 6 and 8.

#

update 6 is more work and will be hard to balance.

worn pumice
#

ik this prolly way ahead but i can see rex and trike coming together in one update

vast wolf
#

troodon has an overloaded kit.

pulsar crystal
#

Ye but again update 5 has another carnivore which could rival carno

dapper pulsar
#

Troodon has the nocturnal things and a unique ability.

vast wolf
#

cerato wont rival carno unless we get a ceratorex style scenario.

vast wolf
dapper pulsar
#

I would argue the unique ability doesn't fit, but taking a unique ability would be stupid.

#

The nocturnal things and mimicry.

pulsar crystal
#

upscale it a bit it’s a video game they can do that

vast wolf
#

mind you venom itself will be pretty overloaded.

worn pumice
#

damn troodon is stacked

#

i feel like mimicry would work better with dilo since its said that it would make u hallucinate

vast wolf
#

mimicry would work better for ovi because it has nothing special except its an omnivore that prefers eggs.

worn pumice
#

well nothing that we know of currently

vast wolf
worn pumice
#

they might have something planned that we dont know

pulsar crystal
#

I gtg if u like my idea make sure to like it

worn pumice
#

god magy is trash

vast wolf
dapper pulsar
#

Cerato is in a pretty good place to fight Carno.

worn pumice
#

isnt carno 2 tons in game?

vast wolf
#

pretty sure its 2.5

dapper pulsar
#

Bite up

pulsar crystal
#

Exactly u can upscale carno so u can upscale cerato

vast wolf
#

carno needs to be downscalled. its as big as alberto.

worn pumice
#

ye carno is way too big rn

#

teno is oversized too

vast wolf
#

not weight wise but its as tall and as long.

#

both are like 20% oversized.

worn pumice
#

like the model for teno and carno needs to be downsized

#

not the stats

dapper pulsar
#

Oviraptor does deserve a unique ability, and Mimicry would fit, but Troodon also needs a unique thing. Maybe intelligence could be a stat that unlocks abilities like opening doors and shit, and Troodon would have the highest of any not tumor-ified dino.

vast wolf
#

carnos damage needs to be decreased.

worn pumice
#

i feel like they made carno something it wasnt intended to be

vast wolf
#

dilo and troodon will have very different gameplay. dilo is more of a solo hunter with troodon living in hordes.

dapper pulsar
#

That feels like a cop out.

#

Like, super hard.

#

Hypsi has 2 unique abilities, I think, both might be repurposed.

vast wolf
#

part of why carno is so strong is because its stats are inflated its turn radius is too good the jungle is not dense enough and its the largest predator.

#

hypsi is a mistake

#

its glorified oro.

dapper pulsar
#

Hypsi is glorious.

vast wolf
#

troo is velo with venom. hypsi is oro with spit and a mario jump.

dapper pulsar
#

Is Oro gonna be playable?

vast wolf
#

everything except pue is not being scrapped atm.

#

oro wont be on official but it will still be viable.

#

ava will be playable on official funny enough.

dapper pulsar
#

So it'll be on sandbox servers or...?

#

Wait what

#

We have enough Ceratopsids.

vast wolf
#

server owners will be able to select animals that can or cant be played.

#

we have 4 not counting tacco.

dapper pulsar
#

That's too many.

vast wolf
#

ava is a warthog diablo is trash rn trike is 8 tons proto is a wombat.

#

diablo is smaller than magy and kentro.

dapper pulsar
#

Ok, hear me out, you could replace them with something else.

worn pumice
#

man magy seems like the best thing rn

dapper pulsar
#

No

worn pumice
#

lmao

dapper pulsar
#

Not really.

vast wolf
#

magy still smells like mid tier fodder.

dapper pulsar
#

I'm not invalidating your opinions, but they are invalid.

worn pumice
#

imagine playing magy smh

vast wolf
#

ava and utah would be a good fight.

dapper pulsar
#

Imagine picking Magy out of any of the creatures that live on that Island.

worn pumice
#

like instead of magy give us cama

dapper pulsar
#

Utah should be

vast wolf
#

its like a wild dog and a warthog.

worn pumice
#

way bigger and better suited for the island

dapper pulsar
#

very weak.

#

Or instead of Magy

#

We get Hatze.

worn pumice
#

q u e t z

vast wolf
#

or replace magy with bajada aka the viable small sauropod.

dapper pulsar
#

I'll break your fucking legs.

worn pumice
#

q u e t z

dapper pulsar
#

That too.

#

That wasn't a threat.

#

I'll find you.

worn pumice
#

lmao

#

imagine the devs release update 10 roadmap and say quetz is being added

#

gg

vast wolf
#

so thoughts on sauropelta edmontonia or denversaurus?

worn pumice
#

denversaurus is like anky but just different

dapper pulsar
#

3 is the max amount of dinos any one thing can have.

vast wolf
dapper pulsar
#

I was just about to ask if it was.

#

They could work.

vast wolf
#

were getting pachyrhino far in the future as well.

dapper pulsar
#

jesus fucking christ

worn pumice
#

actually having denver and anky wouldnt be too bad

dapper pulsar
#

oh yeah but a second azhdarchid

#

that'd be fucking insane

#

Mr. fuckin

worn pumice
vast wolf
#

pachyrhino is a 4 ton fracture machine

dapper pulsar
#

changes name to spite me

vast wolf
#

prehistoric wild life is trash

worn pumice

#

wait hold on

#

i got something great from pk

dapper pulsar
#

Wanna know what else is a fracture machine?

#

Anky.

worn pumice
vast wolf
dapper pulsar
#

I like how Utah is kept around

vast wolf
#

utah is for scale

dapper pulsar
#

So is the fucking person

worn pumice
#

honestly diablo while it isnt super big doesnt seem too bad

vast wolf
#

imigine legacy diablo but as bulky as cerato. pretty sure its not great.

dapper pulsar
#

Imagine like

worn pumice
#

well diablo is gonna be added anyways so

dapper pulsar
#

not having 5 ceratopsids

worn pumice
#

if were getting fucking magy then were prolly gonna have diablo

vast wolf
#

if its that big and has damage reduction in its face it could survive an allo.

dapper pulsar
#

That would be pretty sick ngl

#

You think we'll ever get a forth spinosaurid?

vast wolf
#

not really a size range we dont have.

dapper pulsar
#

Maybe something epic

worn pumice
#

icthy

dapper pulsar
#

^^^^^^^^6

#

^^^^
^^
^
^

vast wolf
#

ichthy is just smaller bary with a weird sail and tail though.

#

bary is a bit larger.

worn pumice
#

bary is just a smaller sucho :/

vast wolf
dapper pulsar
#

If you look at it the right way, Bary is just bigger, worse Ichthy

vast wolf
#

how is bary worse than ichthy?

dapper pulsar
#

It would also create more divide between the spinosaurids

worn pumice
#

everyones hyped for magy

dapper pulsar
#

Guns.

worn pumice
#

who needs anything when we got magy

vast wolf
#

as far as we know bary had longer legs.

dapper pulsar
#

The game will eventually need to balance around guns.

#

That's not

#

They extend legs for Spinosaurs in this game

#

I think

#

my brain's stuck in 2014

worn pumice
#

spinosaurus is like jp3

#

utah is like jp3 as well

vast wolf
#

even still bary having longer legs and the same exact body plan makes it a faster runner.

dapper pulsar
#

Utah's not JP3.

vast wolf
#

it is though

dapper pulsar
#

Utahs just JP.

vast wolf
#

people have been asking for a rex remodel on and off which is painful.

dapper pulsar
#

JP3 raptors have a very unique look compared to the others.

worn pumice
#

jw i mean

vast wolf
#

rex was redone less than 2 years ago.

dapper pulsar
#

Rex remodel would be sick

worn pumice
#

yo if rex gets a remodel it'll have 4 remodels in total lol

vast wolf
#

only reason to remodel it is because new spino and giga look like monsters.

dapper pulsar
#

Also real rex is fucking awesome

worn pumice

#

@vast wolf I mean if you’re gonna say that Icthyovenator is just a smaller baryonyx despite the fact that it’s more closely related to Spinosaurus. And then deny that Baryonyx is just a smaller Suchomimus despite the fact that those two are more closely related...
...

I have no words for this genuine display of stupidity

oh it was already posted.

But carry on anyway

Anyway I don't think they could make Deinocheirus look outdated since it's pretty much been the same since we found it's skeleton.

#

I mean

worn pumice
#

trike remodel pls

dapper pulsar
#

it could be floating arms.

#

There's nothing stopping them.

vast wolf
#

yeah deinocherius was arms for a long time and then we got 2 mostly complete skeletons.

dapper pulsar
#

There's nothing to outdate to!

#

It's the perfect animal for this game.

#

It counters their usual tricks.

worn pumice

#

And deceit.

shit thats the wrong one

#

someone kill me

Damn

worn pumice
sonic cloud
#

@vast wolf baryonyx is just Suchomimus except worse in the water, smaller and weaker, and maybe a tad bit better on land if you believe finding a baby iguanodon (those tend to be very small and weak) in its stomach makes it a better terrestrial carnivore

dapper pulsar
#

That silhouette for anky.

#

It's

vast wolf
#

only thing to complain about is the back not being as raised as it could be.

dapper pulsar
#

Woah

sonic cloud
#

So by your own logic Baryonyx is just a shittier sucho

#

Time to scrap it

worn pumice
#

nah we should change the trikes head slightly

dapper pulsar
#

I like Icthy.

sonic cloud
#

Nothing of value will be lost

dapper pulsar
#

We need a bare minimum of 3 azhdarchids.

vast wolf
#

bary can be made into a jaguar style animal. good on land and the water but not great at either. basically small fast spino with the direction they are going with it.

worn pumice
#

the trike when remodeled at the time was showing a younger trike. Now this image shows what a more mature trike would look like and its more robust

vast wolf
#

aside from quetz and hatz the big azdarchids are fragmentary af.

dapper pulsar
#

I never said the big ones.

worn pumice
dapper pulsar
#

I wanted the big ones

#

wait fuck

#

I'm saying shit wrong

worn pumice
#

wut

vast wolf
#

the small azdarchids can be replaced by more interesting pterosaurs.

dapper pulsar
#

Arambourgiania could just be pretty AI bird

worn pumice
#

quetz instead of hatz bet

arambor is known mostly from neck vertebra with alanqua being just as fragmentary.

dapper pulsar
#

Fuck Alanqa.

#

No one gives a shit about Alanqa.

#

Why the fuck would you bring up Alanqa.

#

That shit's gross.

vast wolf
#

ato still typing trying to prove a point that ive had to beat down multiple times.

#

pretty sure thats not alanqua

dapper pulsar
#

I think Ato's just editing out all the personal attacks like I do after I write a rant.

dapper pulsar
#

I'm not saying you're writing a rant.

#

I'm just saying that

#

I understand taking a while.

Why the fuck do we have the most boring Spinosaurids possible.

its pretty safe to assume its a rant when ato is trying to prove a point to me.

@vast wolf did you miss how Ceratosaurus is in the same size range as Baryonyx whilst also hunting like a jaguar in it’s concept art? Jaguars are known for lazing about near water just like Cerato is seen doing, it also looks to use water in it’s day to day life, such as when it’s shown escaping an Allosaurus. And finally! It’s shown killing a Deinosuchus in much the same way Jaguars will kill a Caiman.

Would you like me to post it or have you already seen it and are just choosing to pretend it doesn’t exist so that you can pretend that Baryonyx actually has a niche?

#

Just to clarify that the concept art is official

#

Which means that even the devs themselves approve of it

vast wolf
#

ive seen it but cerato killing a sub adult deino and then swimming away from an allo dose not mean its like a jaguar. cerato is more comparable to a black bear or wolverine.

dapper pulsar
#

Or a komodo dragon.

#

except like

vast wolf
#

megalania...

dapper pulsar
#

We can't draw inspiration from that since Megalania

#

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO FUCKING SAY

dapper pulsar
#

Imagine like

#

drawing inspiration from the same animal twice

#

For 2 different animals

#

could not happen.

#

ever.

sonic cloud
#

I mean if you’re trying to make an animal actually unique

dapper pulsar
#

I'm not mocking you Gharial

#

I'm mocking

#

other people.

#

that I hate

#

for almost no reason.

vast wolf
#

it depends on the animal in question and how it relates.

sonic cloud
#

Especially when said animals are in the same size range...

vast wolf
#

just because cerato is a generalist that will eat everything does not mean bary cant be a piscavorus generalist thats good on alnd and the water.

sonic cloud
#

Yay

#

Give me a clone!

vast wolf
sonic cloud
#

If you make it big it just becomes a smaller sucho

dapper pulsar
#

Komodo dragons should be like

vast wolf
#

if you think bary is a cerato clone then your saying rex is a spino clone.

dapper pulsar
#

only used for animations

sonic cloud
#

Which it is anyway

dapper pulsar
#

smaller monitors should be used for everything else

#

Maybe carry over venom.

vast wolf
#

and comparing bary and sucho is the same thing as comparing allo and acro.

dapper pulsar
#

I

worn pumice
dapper pulsar
#

wouldn't say that, but you can.

#

Obese crocodiles may be living in hell

#

but they're pretty pogchamp

past dune
#

Hopefully game adds sauropods rather than camarasaurus.

dapper pulsar
#

Yeah

#

Hopefully they'll add some sauropods

vast wolf
#

something like apato or bronto is not out of the question.

#

allo acro and giga are as close to eachother as bary sucho and spino are.

dapper pulsar
#

Instead of that god forsaken Camara.

#

I would argue most of their like

sonic cloud
#

Except cerato is literally seen in water or interacting with semi-aquatic animals in it’s official concept art...
It’s very heavily implied that it’s going to have semi-aquatic tendencies. It’s literally a semi-aquatic generalistic scavenger

dapper pulsar
#

15 Super Predators are pretty close.

#

It swim good

#

It's a generalist

#

It specked into fucking everything.

sonic cloud
#

It does pretty much all of what baryonyx, and more

#

And guess what

dapper pulsar
#

It's equipped to survive.

#

Hatze for smash

sonic cloud
#

With that skull, its probably going to be a better hunter than baryonyx

sonic cloud
#

?

worn pumice
#

uhhhhhh cama is a sauropod??

dapper pulsar
#

aw darn

#

Horn scraping woulda been cool

sonic cloud
#

Ceratosaurus is spelled differently my friend

vast wolf
#

it dosent take 2 carnos to take out a tenonto. nor do they fling dryos over their heads.

dapper pulsar
#

I don't think

#

that's what the tenonto picture means

#

I think it's scale

vast wolf
#

these are* CONCEPT *art they are going to change. mere guidelines.

worn pumice
#

when one carno can kill a teno ._.

dapper pulsar
#

I mean

sonic cloud
#

Ok. the general concept is there, it rams shit like dryo and hunts tenonto

dapper pulsar
#

it's exaggerating the charge effect?

sonic cloud
#

For artistic liberty

#

It still shows that carno will charge dryos

dapper pulsar
#

They didn't make shit up on there

#

except like

#

the horn scraping

#

woulda been cool.

sonic cloud
#

The horn scraping is pretty much it

dapper pulsar

Also pinning

past dune
#

I'm gonna be honest,

#

I prefer the old stego.

dapper pulsar
#

but that's a display of power rather than like

past dune
#

Thagomizers can swing while running.

#

Like, what's the point of tail riding if you aren't even running.

#

This ruins stegosaurus.

vast wolf
dapper pulsar
past dune
#

Talk about our un-movable thagomizers.

dapper pulsar
#

Cerato has a lot of like

#

bullshit compared to carno

#

Actually no

#

wait

sonic cloud
#

I guess cerato won’t be hunting magyarosaurus

vast wolf
#

if stego swung its tail it would be in a greatly reduced area and would do less damage if it was moving.

past dune
#

Like, 10 hours, we can't even run while swinging.

vast wolf
#

the devs havent said anything about cerato being slightly semi aquatic.

past dune
#

T

sonic cloud
#

Lets ignore the concept art that you literally just posted then

dapper pulsar
#

What we gleam from this is Cerato's solitary, a decent swimmer(not semi-aquatic, just an escape route), eats rotten meat, and is rivals with Magy

#

the rest is fluff.

#

What I gleam from it

#

I mean

#

Rival with Magy isn't clear

#

until you see both

#

It's a 2 parter.

sonic cloud
#

But yeah, ceratosaurus definitely won’t be hunting Magy because theres no mechanic in game that will let it grab it them by the head while they’re still alive.

#ghariallogic

#

Complete bullshit made by the devs to mislead us

vast wolf
#

we get the things we knew about it further pushed into reality then we get the random stuff for asthetics. cerato having slightly above average swimming speed is fine but that does not make it semi aquatic.

#

#atologic bash animals that are being planned anyway.

sonic cloud
#

You do plagiarism poorly

vast wolf
#

you simply dont let anyone have different opinions.

sonic cloud
#

You seem to think that your opinion holds weight and deserves to be treated with respect but you’re opinion is quite simply bullshit

vast wolf
#

funny enough the same exact snout shape has appeared among crocodile like animals a lot.

#

and how is it bullshit?

sonic cloud
#

Especially when evidence contradicts it and yet you still hold on to it

dapper pulsar
#

You mean long and extending from the face?

#

That's like

vast wolf
#

compared to bary is small sucho and cerato takes its niche because it swims.

sonic cloud
#

Ok

dapper pulsar
#

All the crocs with

sonic cloud
#

Let me dumb things down

dapper pulsar
#

Gharial mouth are dumb

sonic cloud
#

Let’s use the statement “baryonyx is a jaguar”

vast wolf
#

there are a lot of thin snouted crocodiliaforms that have existed over time.

sonic cloud
#

And the statement “ceratosaurus is a jaguar”

#

You need to look for evidence for both

dapper pulsar
#

Yes

#

And they're all

#

dumb.

vast wolf
#

i dont see any for cerato except it swimming away from an allo in its concept. not hunting in the water.

thorny lynx
# dapper pulsar Gharial mouth are dumb

It evolved for a reason. Maybe there were no large prey items in a crocodile ancestor's area, so it evolved to be smaller and have a thinner snout for more agility in the water to catch smaller creatures.

dapper pulsar
#

Gharial = dumb

sonic cloud
#

And yet you seem to have found evidence for baryonyx that no one else has seen

vast wolf
#

we dont have barys concept and punch has said its concept is on the backburner until more elder concepts are done.

thorny lynx
dapper pulsar
#

Yeah

#

a dumb adaptation

#

for stupid dumb animal

#

look at how a cool animal does it.

vast wolf
#

baryonyx hunts semi aquatic animals. beip minmi small deinos ptera fish. it can also hunt small land animals dryo ava hypsi ect.

dapper pulsar
#

False Gharial
-omega chad
-not Gharial

vast wolf
#

thats a false gharial.

dapper pulsar
#

Gharial
-virgin
-Gharial

vast wolf
sonic cloud
#

Now the best way to do that is to look for reliable sources i.e. the developers of the game.

Now lets look at what evidence we have seen for baryonyx: fuck all

Now let’s look at what we have for Ceratosaurus: 3 images in official concept art that was posted very recently.

dapper pulsar
#

Bitch I know what it is

#

Being big and gay doesn't change being gay.

#

You're just more gay.

sonic cloud
#

And yet you seem to have come to the opposite conclusion

dapper pulsar
#

in the insulting way

#

not homosexual

vast wolf
#

we have 1 image of cerato escaping with the water and another of it killing a deino on land.

sonic cloud
#

And one of it lazing in water

dapper pulsar
#

Reality and Legacy don't matter

#

do not use them.

vast wolf
#

that dosent prove anything about it being semi aquatic.

sonic cloud
#

...

dapper pulsar
#

I'm not gonna say that actually

vast wolf
#

thats mudhttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/664914260648001555/783840062601166848/Ceratosaurusconcept.jpg

dapper pulsar
#

I've crossed enough lines.

thorny lynx
# dapper pulsar for stupid dumb animal

It does not need to grab big ass animals like wildebeest. Why would it need large jawsand a large body if there are no prey items available that large to sustain such mass? Thin snouts allow it to be more hydrodynamic and resist drag and currents better to catch fish.

sonic cloud
#

Im starting to feel like a picture of suchomimus eating a fish would make you say “but that doesn’t make it semi-aquatic”

dapper pulsar
#

Don't live like this.

vast wolf
#

eating a fish is different from catching one.

dapper pulsar
#

You're a crocodilian god damn it, start acting like it.

sonic cloud
#

Ok

vast wolf
#

and watch your opinion get torn apart.

sonic cloud
#

Oh boy I look forward to you making the same arguments for baryonyx a week from now

dapper pulsar
#

More wrong people does not make it any less wrong uhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

evidence inconclusive

vast wolf
#

whats that you like oh yeah acro which is just slow giga.

dapper pulsar
#

I am on neither side

#

I have made arguments for both.

thorny lynx
#

DUCC

vast wolf
#

tbf acro is better than giga but the only reason its staying is because it was a dev pick to stay.

sonic cloud
#

Especially when cerato gets released and you literally see reality goes against your opinion

dapper pulsar

Imagine Ducc grabbing a fucking Rex by the neck and throwing it to the ground
