glass mulch
#

I mean...

paper oriole
#

Wait so are we on dimetrodon now i am confusion

glass mulch
#

I would like cheirus to be a thing rather than some small tyrannosaur

edgy hamlet
#

^

paper oriole
#

And do you want him to throw drug dust at dinos

dapper pulsar
#

No that's a response to "Deinocheirus is the most unique thing that could be added"

#

Yes

#

Cocaine whip

#

Funny dust

#

Pixie stick

paper oriole
#

Ok as grand as cocaine wizard would be that is just a bit too scifi

edgy hamlet
#

Deino would certainly have a more unique niche than a small tyrannosaurid but eh

dapper pulsar
#

Yeah

paper oriole
#

Where would he get his different array of drug dusts

dapper pulsar
#

But not Dimetro

glass mulch
#

Dimetro is a fucking mammal

edgy hamlet
paper oriole
#

Are synapsids true mammals

glass mulch
#

Well... almost mammal

dapper pulsar
#

It's like a Platypus

glass mulch
left nacelle
#

synapsids are reptiles that are like mammals iirc

dapper pulsar
#

Mammal like reptiles

left nacelle
#

A platypus is a mammal that's kinda like a reptile. It's the opposite of a synapsid

glass mulch
left nacelle
#

Interesting

fervent fable
#

Dimetro is a mammel?

dapper pulsar
#

Anyway I guess it would find dust at random spawns, maybe in certain environments.

glass mulch
paper oriole
#

Dimetro would face an even worse version of magy's problem where it is such an unviable animal that you gotta pull some mad shit outta your ass to make it work

dapper pulsar

Just make it AI

A whole Dimetro model as Ai? nah thanks

Where it win

Like... it has 0 reasons to exist

dapper pulsar
#

Always win

#

edgy hamlet
#

even tho its ai it still costs tons of money, just take already existing dinosaurs lol

paper oriole
#

But why spend thousands on a small rare ai

dapper pulsar
#

Because

#

Dimetro

glass mulch
#

No determined niche, no deadzone in the ecosystem there and no actual reason except "fUnNY sPiNo dOG gOes bRrRRrr"

Argument 10/10TI_Perfect

dapper pulsar
#

Damn right

#

4 times now

paper oriole
#

Learn modeling and animation and mod it in so we can eat it

glass mulch
#

There is no reason to have it, no reason for it to be added and no actual playability to it that would encurage or help players

#

It is just a dumb idea to add it and your arguments make no sense

dapper pulsar
#

What about Dimetro skeletons

glass mulch

Lol

dapper pulsar

Welcome back to the realm of the living.

edgy hamlet
#

aight was a very sensual discussion, Mirror obviously wonTI_Perfect

dapper pulsar
#

Also not being viable in the slightest makes Dimetro more unique

#

Fuck yeah

barren zephyr
#

Dimetrodon isn't really too much special

glass mulch
#

Mirror is the best at winning arguments TI_Troll

dapper pulsar
#

Damn right

edgy hamlet
#

TI_dondiSmile sure is

dapper pulsar
#

I'm counting this as a sixth

barren zephyr
#

If anything, it's a Megalania, minus the venom and with mammal-like dentition and a sail for display

edgy hamlet
dapper pulsar
#

Too late

glass mulch
#

Basically; smaller, weaker, uglier and worse megalania

barren zephyr
#

Brontoscorpio would be an interesting addition though

dapper pulsar
#

I wouldn't say uglier

#

Actually wait

#

Yeah

edgy hamlet
#

very oogly

dapper pulsar
#

Dimetro ain't ugly, but it ain'y prettier than Mega

glass mulch
#

Dude has an abelisaurid face, reptile body, thicc tail and ugly limbs with a pretty weird sail....

#

I kinda want a Tegu megalania

edgy hamlet
#

im gonna get hated for this but am i the only one who finds mega ugly too-

Gila monster megalania

Yes you are

The duality of man

Iguana design for mega is cringe

glass mulch
barren zephyr
#

Yes, because it's a fucking monitor lizard

dapper pulsar
#

The fuck word wasn't necessary

#

Don't swear

barren zephyr
#

Dondi's said worse stuff

#

Dondi is dondi

Yeah but Dondi's banned from the server for swearing

bro mirror you called someone a bitch not that far up lol

he can sya fuck

dapper pulsar
#

And you will to if you don't shut the fuck up

paper oriole
#

hey stop fucking swearing there's kids here

edgy hamlet
#

are there..

dapper pulsar
#

I'm a reflection oooooo

barren zephyr
#

Megalania is a modern monitor lizard, taxonomically speaking (Varanus priscus is it's proper scientific name)

glass mulch
paper oriole
#

tegus would be cute ai but i'd feel bad eating them ):

barren zephyr
#

So Megalania is anatomically close to living monitors such as Komodo dragons and lace monitors.

dapper pulsar
#

Add Brookesia micra as AI

#

Make it fully sentient

barren zephyr
glass mulch
dapper pulsar
#

I would hug that thing

#

A Jaragua lizard would be good inspiration for Megalania

#

They're basically the same

#

Like a 15% size difference

edgy hamlet
barren zephyr
glass mulch
#

...Megalania is like.... 600 - 1010kg

barren zephyr
#

So that means it can walk on the bottom of a lake or river and also go onto land (preferably during the night to prevent itself dehydrating)

dapper pulsar
#

And the Jaragua lizard is 1/10th a gram

#

Small difference in weight.

glass mulch
dapper pulsar
#

It's like Tarbo to Rex

#

Not much

glass mulch
barren zephyr
dapper pulsar
#

There is a 25 atom difference between Tarbo and Rex

glass mulch
#

there is 4 tons between them....

dapper pulsar
#

Bronto would be cool.

#

I eyeballed it.

glass mulch
#

Tarbo is like... 4900 - 5000kg, Rex is 9200kg

dapper pulsar
#

So like 26 atoms

glass mulch
dapper pulsar
#

K

#

Wait Atom is

#

Not what I meant.

#

26 molecules apart.

twin burrow
#

....?

dapper pulsar
#

Atoms would be stupid.

#

Giant arthropod AI in general would be a cool.

#

Insert suggestion about Arthropleura and Meganeura.

keen vapor
#

@zenith onyx There are servers who allready does this and its damn amazing

dapper pulsar
#

Why do people take my 2 to 4 word arguments seriously

edgy hamlet
#

Because. Im getting better at argumentingTI_Perfect

arctic nimbus
#

I don't think giant insects will ever be added. The only reason why insects used to be big in the first place was increased oxygen.

dapper pulsar
#

That's fair.

#

Going back to Ceratopsids, I do think we should replace at least Ava with something.

arctic nimbus
#

Yeah, and Dibble. I can't see both of them doing anything.

ashen wasp
#

i mean, we're getting Protoceratops

dapper pulsar
#

Trike is a given
Taco is unique
Pachy is unique
And Proto is a given and a pretty solid dino choice.
4 is a good number for 'em.

barren zephyr
#

Avaceratops is just an in-between of Protoceratops and Triceratops, pretty much

dapper pulsar
#

5 is a bit much but could work. I'd rather keep Dibble than Ava.

glass mulch
#

Honsetly we have 6 herbivores hard and soft confirmed

#

Proto, Taco, Ava, Dibble, Styrac, Pachyrhino and Trike

#

It can work tbh

#

2 teeny tiers, 1 dilo sized, 1 cerato sized, 1 carno (ish) sized, 1 sucho sized and 1 rex sized

dapper pulsar
#

I mean, I'm sure they'll all be functional, but I think having that many Ceratopsids is a bit excessive.

paper oriole
#

people will grow apexes on dead servers where their only worry is ai, then move those dinos to populated ones if that is made a possibility

#

no thanks

solar salmon
#

hmm

#

yea

#

that's true

#

didn't think about that, thank you

glossy sluice
#

Styrac is confirmed? I keep thinking I've found all the dinos going into this, and then keep learning of new ones.

barren zephyr
#

Not properly confirmed.

#

Well you see, Devs may consider adding stuff, and then players label it as confirmation (while it actually isn't, it's just considering)

dapper pulsar
#

If Styrac's confirmed then the Ceratopsid argument will be pretty great for justifying creatures.

glossy sluice
#

Ah, gotcha.

zinc anvil
#

understand that they cant just add everything to the game it would take way too long

I"m new here but I'm excited to see where all this discussion is going to lead in the future!

urban flax
#

@night mountain The idea is cool but that's too much work for just a little detail. And animals most of the time don't show their pain.

barren zephyr
#

Yes

#

Dinosaurs don't have mobile lips either

#

I mean if you look at a bird, it doesn't have too many facial expressions

night mountain
inner hound
#

tentacle why

barren zephyr
#

xd

merry roost
#

i kinda like Tentacle's idea about the more hurt you are or severity over time the more unhealthy the dino looks

#

it displays the health of the dino even more

barren zephyr
#

Well there should probably be yelps or moans of pain

#

As well as limping.

merry roost
#

that depends on what it is

barren zephyr
#

Yeah

merry roost
#

its more for likethe long lasting effects of a injury

#

like infections n all that

#

current isle only has two ways to display your hurt- actually 3 if you include the 4 call

#

colors dim, cuts and slashes

#

not as exaggerated as this but it gets the point

#

being that the worst it gets it looks like it has not sleep for 15 hours straight and been traumatized and beaten

merry roost
#

to the 1 person who put a x on the meat chunk idea pls tell me how are you ok with not having the controllto drag or take meat chunks

dire ridge
#

yeah wtf

merry roost
#

rip theres more XD

urban flax
#

I'm the first to have put an X. I think it's not necessary and I don't see why every dino has to be thrashing around to rip off a meat chunk. I prefer it to remain simple, quick and easy.

#

As for the different keybinds, the long press/short press idea that comes up quite often is much better in my opinion

dire ridge
#

i agree the trashing is not necessary

random imp
#

you should be able to see the health of a dinosaur by it's color ( if you have washed out colors, or messed up feathers), general body shape ( a hurt/sick dinosaur is usually not that good at hunting so it will be skinnier, more skeletrical) and maybe calls ( weaker/distorted if you are hurt, like howling in pain)

#

and obviously with a limping animation if you broke your leg or similar

#

the thing you can do is have it breathe with open mouth if it's sick or badly hurt

#

but facial expression are just dumb and you won't even notice them

zenith onyx
#

lol

ashen wasp
#

Mhm, I like the idea of body language communicating health over facial expressions

#

Eliminates the need for facial rigs, anyways

flint root

Norkyl try not to use excessive amounts of emojis to emphasize they dislike something challenge TI_Troll

#

Fat shield should honestly be a mechanic for a lot of dinos, trading mobility for more health. Maybe acro could he unique in that he doesn't sacrifice mobility for his fat shield

left nacelle
#

@zenith onyx Already planned

idle needle
#

@zenith onyx that's literally just a trike running forward. You can do that in legacy.

#

All of the footage from the main menu in legacy and evrima was made ingame, not in engine, so it's all doable ingame

#

Except I think in the evrima menu there's a clip or two from the hope trailer, but that's about it

left nacelle
#

Either way, Trike is already planned to be getting a charge ability

idle needle
#

Very true

wintry monolith
left nacelle
#

@zenith onyx That would make Trike's charge ability a lot less unique if all ceratopsians had it

zenith onyx
#

trike has stomp as well

#

trike is still unique

left nacelle
#

But that's just a regular attack. The charge is a special like utah's pounce and Carno's charge

#

Plus charging would be pretty useless on protoceratops

zenith onyx
#

proto is meant to run away

#

not fight

left nacelle
#

Exactly, so why give it a charge

#

You said all ceratopsians

zenith onyx
#

charge for getting away quickly

#

it can be used for anything, combat, and escapes

left nacelle
#

But it can just run. Plus it's planned to have a burrowing ability

zenith onyx
#

ur nit picking

left nacelle
#

I'm not trying to

zenith onyx
#

I meant all ceratopsians.

#

any of them should be able to use

left nacelle
#

Charging for running away wouldn't make much sense imo

zenith onyx
#

wether it helps them in fights or escaping

#

It would give Creatures like Ava a chance

#

it would be a universal attack for the ceratops, but each would still have a unique attack that seperates it from the others...

left nacelle
#

But why give them all a generic charge when they can all have their own unique abilities

wintry monolith
#

Trike should have a sharge its dumb not to its stomp is Good too and Will prob hurt you in diffrent ways like if you get horns in ur stomach of stomped into the ground like a rex impaled and Utah stomped

zenith onyx
#

?

#

that was confusing to read

left nacelle
#

Trike will have a charge

#

Yeah, needs more punctuation lol

zenith onyx
#

So why can't the others have a charge as well?

left nacelle
#

Cause for one, two of the 5 planned ceratopsians won't even have horns, and two: it makes them a lot more similar to each other

zenith onyx
#

aren't they all related?

left nacelle
#

Yeah but you want them to still be unique

zenith onyx
#

what's wrong with them having similar abilities to defend themselves?

left nacelle
#

There's nothing wrong with that, but they shouldn't all have the same ability

zenith onyx
#

I said they'd each still have unique attacks, seperate from the charge

safe galleon
#

but the charge is unique to the trike

left nacelle
#

I don't think you're fully understanding what I'm saying

#

The charge is a unique ability separate from the regular attacks, giving them a different regular attack like the stomp, doesn't make them unique. The stomp is just a stronger attack with a different hitbox essentially, so it isn't special

zenith onyx
#

i understand that

left nacelle
#

Yeah so if you give them all a charge but then give them each another "unique" attack you'd either be giving them all a charge ability with one attack that looks different, or you'd be giving them each two special abilities

#

I don't know if i phrased that as well as i could've

zenith onyx
#

okay, now u've lost me

left nacelle
#

Okay so Charge = Ability

#

If they all have the charge, they all have that Ability

zenith onyx
#

I wouldn't call it an ability, for carno its an ability because its a carnivore. there are no other carnivores that can do taht

left nacelle
#

I'm using ability and special attack interchangeably here

zenith onyx
#

for Ceratops, they are built for it, so it wouldn't be an ability, it would be a regular atttack, but then it would have an ability, thats differen't then the Charge.

left nacelle
#

Yeah and my issue with that is that then they essentially have two specials. Cause the charge is really unique, regardless of whether they're built for it or not

zenith onyx
#

the charge is unique for trike

#

it wouldn't be as powerfull for the other Ceratopsian

left nacelle
#

But that doesn't make it more unique

#

I could see them giving trike and styraco a charge, but i feel like it would be a bit much to put it on the others too

zenith onyx
#

Trikes would do damage, but for the others it would just be a stun because of the size difference between most of the Ceratopsian they have planned for Evrima

wintry monolith
#

Sry it got dubbled for some reason have a shit phone

left nacelle
#

There we go that definitely sounds better. But then you have the issue of all the ceratopsiands besides trike doing a stun

zenith onyx
#

Its not that bad, they have plans for Copies, troodons, and dilo to all have great nightvision.

left nacelle
#

I never heard anything about compies having great nv

zenith onyx
#

they want certain creatures to be capable of the same things

left nacelle
#

But that's different. that's just an increased stat essentially. The still have their venom which is their ability

#

And their venom will be different from each other

zenith onyx
#

Ceratopsians have always been pictured as charging straight into danger if left with no other choice. (but its still venom)

#

its still the same thing in general

left nacelle
#

Yeah it's still venom but it's unique to each animal. If you gave all the ceratopsians a charge attack but made them all do different things, that'd be a different story, then they'd all be unique

zenith onyx
#

bingo

left nacelle
#

Maybe you could suggest different things each ceratopsians charge would do? That's be neat and it would be different from any other suggestions I've seen

zenith onyx
#

I don't even know all the Ceratopsians being introduced in Evrima, I know trike, ava, proto, diablo, but i don't know the fifth...

safe galleon
#

jurassic world anky is so damn disgusting jesus

left nacelle
#

It's trike, ava, styraco, proto, and diablo

barren zephyr
barren zephyr
safe galleon
barren zephyr
#

But triceratops, protoceratops and avaceratops are definite "yes"s

#

Maybe diablo will be added in as well, but I'm not sure.

zenith onyx
#

why styraco?! yuck, Path of Titans already has that guy. The isle needs PachyRhinosaurus instead.

barren zephyr
#

There's been plans for Pachyrhinosaurus as well, I'm pretty sure.

safe galleon
#

we're getting pachyrhino aswell

left nacelle
#

@zenith onyx Actually I'm getting mixed up it is pachyrhino

#

@sturdy kayak The rhino/armadillo anky that we're getting is really unique. It would be kinda weird to make it a generic JW anky

safe galleon
#

and boring

#

Reacting with โœ… to your suggestion TI_Yikes

I put x there, I was trying to find it and when I did the thumbs down was already there and too lazy to remove it

sturdy kayak
left nacelle
#

But anyway, the devs didn't "steal" any of JW's animals. They took inspiration from the. The spino looks very different from JP's spino nad the Utah is a completely different species from the ones in JP

#

And yeah i know the devs will do what they want, but I'm giving you criticism. That's the point of the channel

valid zephyr
left nacelle
#

@zenith onyx Also, I was mixed up, pachyrhino is being added. styraco isn't confirmed

barren zephyr
#

Actually I rather wouldn't liken our current anky to an armadillo, it's more of a rhinoceros tbh

barren zephyr
zenith onyx
#

oh okay

#

Cool

valid zephyr
#

rhino anky disregards important features of actual anky. Like the rounded back which makes it hard to grip.

left nacelle
barren zephyr
safe galleon
#

it all comes down to personal opinion, the only thing that really matters is if it plays well

left nacelle
#

^^^

barren zephyr
#

Yeah there are a couple of other Ankylosaurs with clubs (euplocephalus, tarchia, etc)

left nacelle
valid zephyr
#

I definitely prefer JW anky to isle anky. It actually looks like a reptile and preserves some of the features of actual anky.

And I dislike JW anky

barren zephyr
#

Though most happen go actually be clubless.

barren zephyr
sturdy kayak
valid zephyr
#

I wouldn't mind isle anky as much if it had kept the rounded back.

It's kinda realism, but realism =/= accuracy

left nacelle
#

The animals are meant to be plausible creatures, not accurate to the ones in real life

#

this game isnt aiming for realism just aiming to be a fun game

cobalt compass
valid zephyr
cobalt compass
#

there is some intention to bring realism/paleo accuracy and actual fun gamplay to a enjoyable state

left nacelle
#

Like I said, the animals are meant to seem like they could really exist, but they aren't meant to be accurate to their real life counterparts

sturdy kayak
cobalt compass
#

for some assets the part of realism fits more than others and vice versa

valid zephyr
#

i like realism but that doesn't seem to be the direction.

sturdy kayak
#

and i believe anky was one of the dinos that was not going to make the cut

valid zephyr
#

2017 isle seemed to have a slightly realistic feel to it apart from lack of feathers, but the new concepts make it clear that ark style dinos are the new direction.

cobalt compass
#

we'll see how anky makes its return

left nacelle
#

The isle's are changed up a bit but they still look like real animals

cobalt compass
#

aye, but a bit more "fun" direction

left nacelle
#

True, Hypsi is a good example. It looks cool but it definitely didn't look like that irl

barren zephyr
#

I mean Magyarosaurus isn't too unreasonable for what remains of the animal we have.

valid zephyr
#

i'd argue that for example alberto looks very cartoonified. its head and neck are the size of its entire body

cobalt compass
#

as i said, for some dinos a more paleo accurate approach seems more fitting than for other, so they dont ruin the game's meta gameplay

left nacelle
zenith onyx
#

That's on the Isle Wiki

#

its super old

left nacelle
#

Yeah, it's still an official model tho

zenith onyx
#

true

And it's the only thing we've got iirc lol

barren zephyr

I can't find any fucking skeletals of Magyarosaurus online xd

I don't mind fictionalisation. I just think that some looks better than others.

paper oriole
#

i doubt pteranodon can grapple midair like that, his beak is really his only offensive tool

barren zephyr
#

Pteranodon doesn't have prehensile feet

paper oriole
#

Yeah itd probably just be a sad slap exchange

#

Which would be funny but kinda useless aside from disorienting other pteras or pelas

barren zephyr
#

In order to dogfight as a pterosaur, you'd need to tug at your opponent's wings, or ram into them (the latter being high risk)

#

And the main reason for dogfighting even occuring would be competition for food.

paper oriole
#

Pela will probably be more efficient at midair fighting because his beak will rip theough membrane easier

barren zephyr
#

Pterosaur membranes aren't actually that fragile

#

They're stiffened with fibres (actinofibrils)

paper oriole
#

Tru tho these jagged edges would still hurt more than the smoother maw of a ptera

cobalt compass
#

indeed

tepid gate
#

Overall some are JPified(e.g. Spino Giga UtaH) while some are Arkified(Acro, Alberto, Austro) then there are the ones that seem quite accurate to their real life counterparts(e.g. Rex, Allo)

dapper pulsar
#

Baro is better than Diplo, yes.

#

Swipe instead of jab? Why not both, one being a better aoe coverage and the other dealing more targeted high damage?

elder rivet
#

i edited it

random sail
#

it would make stego like legacy, no thanks

#

i dont need to disagree with you for the devs to not add it

elder rivet
cyan flame
#

And that would be bad how? But stego should not have a jab, just a proper swing/swipe for the sides, and a rearward swipe/wiggle that can be used while moving, to deter being followed.

random sail
elder rivet
#

no because one: it is a jab and 2: it wouldn't deal damage to multiple people at once

tepid gate
#

This might be surprising but you generally wouldn't be able to deal damage to more than one target with a thagomizer. Melee weapons don't work like that - they stop on the first target. You can't really "stab" through multiple opponents.

random sail
#

thats okay, but at least i know the devs aint ever going to add it

#

it would make stego un touchable unless it touches you

#

and that's what the legacy stego is

#

devs are trying to move away from that

#

I know it is frustrating when a bunch of raptors shred your stego

#

but its just how it is

#

raptors are beastly

tepid gate
#

Y, Utahs' pounce needs some tuning down for sure

#

they kill animals like stego way too easily

random sail
#

utahs pounce is being nerfed actually

elder rivet
#

legacy stego is strong because he turns extremely fast, swipes while running, and weight makes him deal absurd amounts of damage

random sail
#

it will be harder to land a pounce

tepid gate
#

Is it? I haven't heard about it getting a nerf.

random sail
#

it is yeah

#

im not sure when or how but it is

tepid gate
#

How do you know? Has any dev spoken about this? I haven't seen anything that would suggest it's getting a nerf.

#

Although I think quite a lot of QA members are aware that it's a problematic ability so it might get a nerf regardless but I haven't heard any hard confirmation regarding that

elder rivet
#

Also even if stegos could attack while running, 1. what thing would simply not run away from a charging stego and 2. unlike legacy doing sharp turns makes him turn in place, completely erasing any chance of it killing what was in front of it unless the thing in front of it was slow as a spino

tepid gate
#

Overall I don't think it should be much harder to hit this ability - Utah should only really not get latched on if it hits the front or the tail of its prey. It should have to aim it so that the Utah player has to hit the side(at least more or less) instead of hitting literally anything and getting teleported to the correct spot because reasons.

#

Other than that I'd like Utah to have a short moment of recovery after it missed the pounce so that it can't just run around after missing this ability as if nothing happened.

proud coral
#

Agreed

tepid gate
#

As for Stego - I think the animal is ok as it is aside from the Utah match up since raptors shred it a bit too easily.

#

Might need some further buffs and changes later on when animals that can actually threaten this walking billboard get introduced into the game. But as it is I don't think this animal really needs any buffs.

hybrid matrix
proud coral
#

Raptor's pounce should focus more on bleed rather than raw damage. But that requires bleed to be dangerous....which it isn't TI_Succ

cyan flame
#

I don't know if it's the stego needing a buff or utah pounce needing a nerf, but a fight can be over far too quickly from what it seems. It should be a drawn out fight, with the utahs wearing down the stego or other big animal over time, not shred it in a minute or two, if it even takes that long as of right now.

paper oriole
#

Tbh stego should probably be buffed in the future as mid tiers and apexes are added anyway, it'll be less screwed by dumb raptors then as a bonus

#

Utah pounce is way too rewarding for how easy it is though

#

And not risky enough

@barren zephyr please stop making suggestions for legacy. it is of no use and wont get any attention planned in the near future

#

@idle ibex bombardier beetle hypsi!

I love it!

idle ibex
#

Itโ€™s not too inbalanced, since the multiplier of more damage the smaller something is can not be abused too much, the smaller someone is the harder to hit they are, especially with the acid spit.

edgy hamlet
#

i dont really see how beipi will balance out deinosuchus, even a small deino would be incredibly hard to kill as a beipi lol

thorn glacier
#

Beipi will be able to kill small Deinos

edgy hamlet
#

is that confirmed anywhere?

thorn glacier
#

It will also provide Crowd control around water to keep food from getting to the water

#

Its not confirmed but we know Beipi will be able to kill juvie dinos in general, deinos aren't an exception to that

edgy hamlet
#

you.. know the size of the beipi do you?

#

and you know that current dinos spawn size is their juvi and not their hatchling stage

#

so even a fresh spawn deinosuchus will likely be a challange for a dinosaur this size lol

#

also i wouldnt expect a dinosaur with a duck niche to actually kill things, rather eat scrabs, fish or just plants

thorn glacier
#

Beipi has massive claws attached to it, it will be containing small deinos

edgy hamlet
#

soo basically youre a dev now

thorn glacier
#

No, I'm not saying that
I'm just saying beipi is literally built for combating small animals

edgy hamlet
#

it maybe could kill freshspawn deinos with a bit of luck, but obviously as soon as the deino is over 10% beipi cant do anything against it lol

thorn glacier
#

Right, and over 10% is when Deinos start competing with each other for control
The idea is for Beipi to pick off fresh spawns to avoid them getting to that point

#

after that they get food

edgy hamlet
#

dont get me wrong, i would love to get beipi at some point but it wont really balance out deinos, apart from the fact that deinos seem pretty balanced already

#

well deinos could also just grow in a lone river and eat fish till that point sooo

#

also deinos will surely eat hatchlings rather theyre 1% or 10%, you dont need a duck to do that

#

i actually expect deinos to be the most balanced dinos till now, but ya never know

thorn glacier
#

I mean it's not like it's going to be a major threat to dino, but it could be a minor obstacle which will definitely help balance it out
Because right now it sounds balanced until you realize that if the juvies manage to gather, they're going to pack together and it's going to be OP
My idea is more for Beipi to pick off baby deinos before they get to others so they have some aversion to group packing
of course once they pack Beipi can't do anything

#

but it can get in the way of them getting to one another

edgy hamlet
#

i dont see killing freshspawns that can just spawn again and grow big in short time as balancing

#

carnos are unbalanced even tho we got utahs

#

i dont see beipi as neccesary rn

thorn glacier
#

It's not really necessary but it would definitely help

valid zephyr
#

I mainly want beip this update to make the water ecosystem more convincing. Predator and prey.

thorn glacier
#

especially because it would compete with Deino for a foodsource

#

That's also true Frumpkin

barren zephyr
#

They have a roadmap for a reason, I don't think they should alter it due to delays. Delays are expected, though, there was never a official confirmation of it being late January anyway, so we have no evidence it's delayed at all. Ultimately, keeping to a schedule is better for development than not. Working on tight deadlines in my occupation, I can assure you that adding more weight to an expected schedule does it no favours.

edgy hamlet
#

^ that too

valid zephyr
#

Having only an apex carni in the entire swamp ecosystem is a bit eh. It makes sense for beip to come early.

edgy hamlet
#

umm still, how is beipi gonna change that deino is an apex??

#

its a 1.5 meter duck .-.

barren zephyr
#

Could say that about Pteranodon. Only flying dinosaur, it's not a reason to burden the schedule for another one

#

It's a work in progress, and they've decided on a roadmap, it is what it is

edgy hamlet
#

sure it maybe will be able to kill freshspawns-so then? they spawn again somewhere else and grow big, took them 5 mins lol

#

well ptera is there to introduce a new kind of mechanic, beipi doesnt really have a new mechanic in cases of swimming ya know

#

if they want, sure, they could add beipi in an update 3.5 patch or something, but update 3 shouldnt be delayed just to add it

valid zephyr
#

If anything beip should have arrived before deino. Like how dryo came to the land ecosystems before rex has.

barren zephyr
#

Feathered JP raptors are infuriating

#

?

#

who suggested... oh

pale schooner
#

Utah itself is infuriating

barren zephyr
#

I used the feathered blue image because it was relatable to our utah

#

Yeah but the feathers ending at the wrists is irritating

#

Especially if the hands pronate.

#

well our utah will likely have something similar, unless they tweaked the model and a few animations

idle ibex
#

Deinosuchus is not an apex

barren zephyr
#

yesn't

idle ibex
#

It can kill sub adults at the most

#

Itโ€™s biggest consistent prey would be around stego size creatures.

barren zephyr
valid zephyr
#

the feathers stopping sharp at the wrists is painful.

edgy hamlet
#

also i agree beipi couldve been added earlier than deino, but we cant really change that anymore so we gotta go with it

valid zephyr
#

Beip is dryo sized but with massive claws too. Not exactly hypsi.

And it's about building the ecosystem from the bottom up. Herbivores and piscavores at the start, then larger predators later.

edgy hamlet
#

i agree on that yeah, but uhh rex and dryo isnt better either just sayin'

valid zephyr
#

beip, minmi, and austro at the start. then bary and cerato. then sucho. then deino and spino.

edgy hamlet
#

i wouldve loved that yeah, but thats too late now lol

valid zephyr
#

yeah ๐Ÿ˜

edgy hamlet
#

F i guess

valid zephyr
#

I still think notho would make great early semi aquatic. It could lay down the groundwork in a similar way to deino, but is a better size to start an ecosystem.

edgy hamlet
#

yep, apart from that stego and deino werent the best choices to start with, but well we cant do much sadly

valid zephyr
#

I mean stego got in due to being essentially ready from the AI development. So there was the choice of delay the patch ages and switch it with kentro, or stay on schedule and add stego.

#

But yeah stego being in at this point is eh as well.

I'm kinda against the idea of paradise colours in Isle, but also if players decide to choose that colour then they should go for it. On officials the colours that matter are brown or green.

It's the same concept as in legacy officials, you go with bright dumb colours you're easy food. Although you can't compare it with legacy since the foliage of evrima is just on a complete different level

I'd be that one guy that runs around with a neon utah blasting gas,gas,gas at full volume in my headphones while dodging the herd of carnos behind me and then laughing in their faces and logging when I jump onto a rock

paper oriole
barren zephyr
odd token
#

That's the sandbox survival aspect of this game. You can be a shitter how much you want

#

and bright paradise colours are likely to happen since the devs wanna appeal to a big part of the community where everyone can find his place

barren zephyr
#

besides, survival aside, the bright colors add an extra option for players, regardless of actual utility, they'd be fun to use

@deep jetty as much as I like that idea, it wouldn't be that good an idea. Magy having poison would just be annoying, enabling idiots to play magy and need no skill to run around and be a turd. Even then, it's probably just gonna be cerato food. It's already faster than an allo anyway, and capable of fighting off anything that can keep up

paper oriole
#

magy goes semiaquatic, gets merked by sucho, spino and deino and still cera too

elder rivet
#

@zenith onyx if it were, it wouldn't be better than tenonto at least. Magy is just a little bit taller than tenonto and would easily fall prey to deino.

zenith onyx
#

easily to dieno, but it would be much harder for anything else to ko it

#

it would lower the death count for Magy tremendously

elder rivet
#

spino would also do it easily. And since crocodiles are so famous, you'd bet there is gonna be a lot more deinos than the creatures that can't kill magy easily

zenith onyx
#

I suggested it be semi aquatic, I didn't say it had to live in the swamp

#

it could live in the ocean for that matter, eating seaweed! IDK

elder rivet
#

that's even worse, it would literally be unkillable for like 95% of the roster even if the devs add aquatic predators

Does carno not have a bucking feature to get rid of utahs?

icy lion
#

hold e

zenith onyx
#

also reme,ber deino wil probs be in the ocean too, because players are players

#

they explore

elder rivet
#

ok, here's why ocean magy is a bad idea and it would get preyed on the semi-aquatics:
First, magy isn't really built to be fast in water, it's tail's vertical width(idk the term english is not my main language) is very small, or in other words, it's tail has a circular shape, and therefore is worse at swimming, it is also shorter than tenonto's which means it's even worse.
And magy is pretty chunky, but at the same time very small, meaning that it would fall prey to deinos, but it being chunky for things of it's size is a tool to fight against those dinos on land.

dense wagon
#

an ocean dwelling magy TI_What

#

how would that even work

#

no drinkable water or food, and magy isn't even built to be a swimmer

vast wolf

that is a torosaurus just so you know.

zenith onyx
#

ik

#

i asking they elongate Trikes horns like the Toros

vast wolf
#

but toro is not trike and those horns look brittle.

#

whats wrong with the meter and a half lances trike has in game?

#

they are likely to get longer with the elder anyway just not thin like toros.

zenith onyx
#

those horns are just at thick as the ones on the trikes

#

just longer

#

and trikes horns from the front view look thin like that too, same thing here for the toro image

dense wagon
#

actually i'd assume b is not triceratops

vast wolf
#

if that bottom one is supposed to be a trike its pretty small.

dense wagon
#

yeah i don't think it is actually. no distinct nose horn and the frill even is hollow

#

these are two torosaurus specimens apparently

vast wolf
#

those are aspects that are a thing for younger trikes just the horn core shape is wrong for trike and the crest is bent oddly.

#

toros horns are more strait and a bit longer than trike but are much less robust.

dense wagon
#

i wouldn't mind seeing longer horns on the elder, as long as they stay bulky

vast wolf
#

the adults are easy to pick out as toto has a straighter longer open crest with more gracile horns that are straighter and longer. also no frill knobbs.

#

yeah the horns on the elder being longer would deffinitely fit just have to keep the general tree trunk thickness at the base.

zenith onyx
#

so longer, and thicker

dense wagon
#

thats what she said

bold stratus

#

unrealistic?

you mean unrealistic like it's a video game and they have to give us visual cues as we're not actually piscivorous prehistoric animals specialized in hunting fish?

that kind of unrealistic?

It's also a dev test map - amarok also LITERALLY said "this is all still being worked on and not finalized" in his stream so people wouldn't take it out of context. It's amazing that it still happened.

glossy sluice
#

@bold stratus Strongly disagree. It seems unrealistic to our modern sensibilities because of a phenomenon called shifting baselines. Modern fish and wildlife populations are severely depleted. But it happened gradually over several generations, so this ghost world we live in now seems normal. Absent human pressures though, wildlife can get astonishingly abundant. I'm looking forward to tons of fish in the waters, making the whole Isle feel more alive!

All teno needs is faster swim speed and quicker running in water, its meant to live in swamps but not be fully semi aquatic.

Itโ€™s hard to test something when the sever is full of people playing the game normally. Iโ€™m not saying the extra hand isnโ€™t a bad thing.it all depends on what needs testing e.g testing server performance then yes open it to the public as that makes sense. But the other testing we do would be a nightmare if it was open to the public with everyone getting in the way of the more involved testing and bug reporting.

Yeah exactly, I've been saying this ever since the Ptera was shown off, Hypno took interest in it when I suggested it on Reddit a few months ago but I guess nothings happened which sucks because Ptera is my most hyped playable, I want it to look good in the air but the t-posing is really off-putting

civic delta
#

I think that implementing a camera system for medium to large carnivores would be good. So letโ€™s say a Utah is on a Carnoโ€™s back. The carno can either run into a tree OR face his camera to angle on the Utah and be able to bite and throw a Utah off

#

So where you pounce is really important

#

Also, pouncing should instead of doing a ton of damage, do lots of bleed instead

#

That way a Utah pack can reasonably kill a carno, but it wonโ€™t be nearly as easy

paper oriole
#

eh anyone with a good chomper and neck should get the ability to yank utahs off with their mouth

civic delta
#

Plus, other Utahโ€™s should be encouraged to distract the carno so their buddy can do the most bleed, which would encourage pack co-ordination

But if Iโ€™m playing as it I want it to look nice

I also think adding some sort of swaying or kinda gliding back and fourth slightly would make it look like thereโ€™s actually wind in the game

@left nacelle thanks

delicate tulip
#

The curve upwards when turning is fine but when flying straight aka soaring, the wings need to be elevated slightly at the shoulders and dip down as you get closer to the wing tips to show a noticeable arc/curve

@fading pecan the qa branch is separate from evrima, unless you swap branches you wont see an update

Reminds me of someone floating on their back in a pool. Like it's trying really hard to not move anything so it doesn't "sink"

Might not be 100% accurate anymore but this clip from this episode still shows what the gliding should look like on a pterosaur

Also when Quetz gets added, I wanna see the Ornitho's entrance reenacted, dozens of ptera's flying around and then the dramatic music plays as a quetz flies in XD

keen sparrow
#

Lmao

#

But yea if they made pteras wings dip like the ones in the video it would make it look 100 times better

#

And itโ€™s been suggested a ton so I really hope theyโ€™ve at least considered it

delicate tulip
#

Yeah, my worry is that going back to do this will interfere with already established animations and code and so they'll just leave it as it is

keen sparrow
#

I mean they fixed carnos sit animation so I donโ€™t see why it would be that hard to do pteras wings

delicate tulip
#

Otherwise it could push the update back further which I'm alright but others might not be

left nacelle
#

Speaking of quetz, back in 2016-2017, when quetz was actually in the game, it's wings had that curve to them and it looked great. But I don't think that animation was made by The Isle's dev team since quetz's model came from TSL

Hmm, well then yeah, if that's the case then there should be no reason this couldn't be done

Another thing that worries me is that itโ€™s marked done on trello

I'm no animator either but it really shouldn't take more than a day or two get this sorted, it's only a small detail

They could just be waiting until it comes out to hear our feedback on it. And I wouldn't blame them for that since people tend to misinterpret things shown in videos and streams

what's wrong with my suggestion @left nacelle ?

left nacelle
zenith onyx
#

if tenonto had been added (figuratively) after iguanodon, people would just say the same thing except tenonto would be a smaller iguanodon...

left nacelle
#

Exactly. And tenonto was already added, so we don't need iguanodon

#

But maybe if you went into detail on your suggestion and gave ways for it to be unique, I'd change my mind

zenith onyx
#

either way, both of them would have been called the smaller or the bigger version.

left nacelle
#

Well yeah

zenith onyx
#

So its really dumb to say it shouldn't be added just its a bigger or smaller version. Maybe it could eat roots as its main diet, since it has that spike thumb

#

give it a unique food source

left nacelle
#

Idk, I just don't really see the point of adding iguanodon when it's pretty much the same as tenonto but bigger

#

But my main gripe with your suggestion is that you didn't give any details, you just said "Add this dino"

#

One of the pinned messages in the #general-feedback channel even says "For everyone posting suggestions, from now on suggestions containing 'nerf/buff x, or please add X dino' are not permissive as they add nothing of value for the development team. Please propose a possible fix/weigh balance changes."

lament ermine
#

if we went with the 12 ton iguanodon, it definetly wouldn't act like a tenonto, only similar in the fact that they're fierce defensive herbivores

#

I think Iguanodon is either planned or already in Butah's creature doc

left nacelle

I never heard anything about it being planned

Also, would you happen to have a link to that doc?

Planned for the document, not planned for TI; sorry for any confusion, and yeah I'll see if I can get the doc

3D animation is super easy to make adjustments to. Hell, it's easy to do in general, because a lot of it can be calculated for you between manual keyframes. Then you can go in and make further keyframe adjustments along the way to ensure the finer details are covered.

#

So like... short version; they'd have to adjust the first keyframe to bend the wings, then they can copy-paste the bone position into the other keyframes. Bam, done, bent wings.

left nacelle
#

I do believe the souring animation cycle also has a couple small flaps in there, so they'd probably have to adjust those too, right? Either way, it wouldn't be much of a hassle

median ore
#

They wouldn't need to put the bend in the wings during the flap, though, because you're not really going to see it there. So they'd do the first keyframe of the "glide", copy the bend over to the keyframe before the "flap", leave the "flap" as normal, then copy the bend into the "glide" that comes after the "flap". If they had any section of glide after the flap -- they likely just looped it in a way they didn't need it.

left nacelle
#

Right, gotcha

#

I won't be too upset if the animation stays as is tho. It's grown on me a little

median ore
#

Adding "wind" effects to the edge of the wing during the glide would take a little bit more work, but yeah there's really no reason to refuse to slightly arch the wing bones a teeny bit to make all us animation snobs happy.

left nacelle
#

I believe the skin on the wing does already flap slightly during the glide

proud coral

I kind of hope the actual flapping is changed a bit, too. It looks like it's in slow mo ๐Ÿ˜›

Okay, yeah, good. Just. Arch them wingies a lil please I beg--

Giga is a way better hunter than rex, it tracks mid tiers across the map, annihilates trike and camara in 1v1 and updating legacy is pointless

New giga doesnt need to be a speedster either

Also, to be fair, this is an albatross flapping their wings - it's pretty slow. I'm pretty sure albatross is a huge inspiration for Ptera's flight: https://youtu.be/x_zshk7uNr8?t=98

#

But we have no clue how new Giga will be, and comparing it to Legacy is wrong.

left nacelle
#

It should be faster than rex tho imo, but not by much

paper oriole
#

Rex should stay faster with less stam as an ambusher, it works well as an ambush hunter but eh thats my opinion

proud coral
#

It'd still be nice if it's flapping changed speed based on how it's flying. So going up would make it flap harder/faster

paper oriole
#

Giga shouldnt be faster, it isnt even unbalanced against rex on legacy

left nacelle
#

Yeah Ptera's meant to be soaring most of the time, makes sense that it would have slow flaps

median ore
#

Nah. Legacy Rex was a perfectly good ambush predator even with being slow. All you have to do is sneak up on your prey, which is easier than you'd think, even as a big carnivore.

#

If Rex is getting the "tank" playstyle and Giga is still being the "mass bleeder" it was, it makes sense to make Giga a little faster than Rex. Giga didn't do nearly as much damage as Rex, so it needed the extra speed / stamina to keep up with it's prey / outpace it's competition.

#

The point of an ambush predator, is to get close, and make those last few feet count. Tigers are a perfect example. Lions are a pretty good example, too.

#

They should be occupying different niches as predatory apexes - Rex is the ambush predator, slow, but shockingly quiet and hits hard. Giga would be the pursuit predator, lots of stamina, a little faster than it's competition, doesn't hit as hard but inflicts a lot of long-lasting damage (bleed).

elder rivet
#

Swapping giga and rex's roles would make giga defenseless but if you're suggesting to make giga faster and still get the faster trot, or making giga faster but without stam as low as rex's, then you're completely right

left nacelle
#

@stark dust Sandbox mode is planned but it's not a priority so we probably won't see it for quite a while

stark dust
#

ah i see

median ore
#

I don't think Rex should be able to attack a Giga without taking some serious damage, but I also think it's perfectly fine if Giga can only rarely win a fight against a Rex. Giga's goal when faced with a Rex should be to hold it's own, and then bail. That'll be more than enough to keep Giga and Rex both viable in the ecosystem.

#

I played on a realism server with Sub Giga as it's own dino, and was faced with adult Rexes on multiple occasions. We had to outstam the Rexes on most occasions, but we did very good for ourselves for a while. And the Rexes were versed in patient ambush-predator tactics. It's how my main dino died, got ambushed by a very sneaky rex.

If the moon is out and bright, yeah, we can see clouds and shit out in the wilderness. Darker moon phases, and the sky / night gets darker.

Giga should be able to get away from rex, but it currently can if it doesnt let the rex get close. Giga has the best mobility among apexes currently

paper oriole
#

Giga would have to have pretty bad stam to level that out or rex will have to be a slow fatass lol

median ore
#

Like I said. Rex shouldn't need to be fast.

#

Either that, or Rex should be fast for a very short period. Just enough to do an ambush.

barren zephyr
#

at least faster then a Rex

Giga shouldn't be faster then a lot of things
the unbalance of that would be a joke

median ore
#

Yeahno.

#

Giga needs to be faster than it's competition (Rex), and have enough stamina to keep up with it's prey. It's... it should almost be semi-ambush. Sneak up, deal the damage, run the prey down and finish it off.

paper oriole
#

Rex currently is a very balanced animal with its short bursts of speed and bad stam holding it in check

median ore
#

Yeah. The issue is, ambush no longer exists.

#

So we need to consider that.

#

Unless the big guys are going to be getting ambush mechanics.

paper oriole

It can still likely function with its bursts of speed and low stam, perhaps even have a unique mechanic

I'm concerned about ambush returning....but if it's heavily reworked, maybe

it needs to be heavily reworked

Giga shouldnt have โ€˜semi-ambushโ€™ level speeds and also be an endurance hunter tho idk if that was a serious statement lol

No no no, I meant "semi-ambush" as in it's hunting style.

Thing iโ€™ve noticed as a carnivore is that losing a small animal is far easier in evrima

I ran circles around a carno in an open field once and it couldn't turn fast enough to get me, once I was behind it, I ran for the forest and it didn't even try to chase me lol

eh i am usually bad at being a hypsi that could be why i suggest that

And, well. As a Carno juvi I play scavenger / hide a lot. I don't trust adults. That's death.

never trust adults xd

When skin custom comes too you can likely be pretty much invisible as something as small as hypsi anyway too

for sexual dimorphism i feel like there should be a difference in terms of size like the female is bigger then the male or the male is bigger then the female depending on the species instead of just more and brighter colors for the male

There will be other sexual dimorphism traits, like larger / smaller horns, bigger necks / crests, etc.

i mean sure but arnt females better then males in legacy just because u can nest as female and u blend in better with ur skin because u can just be full black

You'd be surprised how easy it is to have a crest and still be camouflaged if you don't choose a stupid bright color.

yep, it's going to be more realistic but not too realistic
Females will still have to gestate then incubate

#

although something like fertility in dinosaurs wouldn't be a bad mechanic, especially to link in with perks

median ore
#

I kinda hope they do internal gestation, bc gestation =/= incubation.

barren zephyr
#

yeah

dense wagon
#

yeah arent the eggs supposed to gestate inside the mother

median ore
#

Once it's laid, it's incubation. Terms.

dense wagon
#

mmhmm

median ore
#

The male mates with the female once, and then over a period of time, she releases eggs, they get fertilized internally, and then the shell forms and they're laid.

dense wagon
#

i wouldn't mind a nonvulgar mating animation, like the male rubbing his side against the female or smth

median ore
#

The only "gestation" that occurs is really just the calcification of the egg shell. At most, when eggs are laid, you can tell if they're fertile because the very start of a little red "cheerio" embryo is formed.

#

But, sometimes, it takes a couple days after being laid for that to even form.

dense wagon
#

imagine the eggshell only formed after the egg was laid TI_Wheeze

median ore
#

I mean... that happens. That's dead eggs.

dense wagon
#

like it's just a ball of embryo and yolk, but then the shell materializes

#

lmao

median ore
#

Yeah the shell just doesn't materialize. In reptiles, they'll lay squishy eggs called "slugs" bc they weren't fully calcified. Sometimes they'll even have little transparent windows in the shell bc the calcification was so bad.
