i say that theyd still have to eat it as mush
their teeth are just as developed as carnivore teeth
as in they arent developed at all yet
hypsi with peacock broadcast 
i like the lore behind spawning as a juvie, and i hope they keep it
it explains how mercs can track you
Sauropods were most likely on their own from hatch so i wouldn't think they'd need mush
I love Iguanodon, but it seems like people hate it for terrible reasons.
@hybrid matrix Hypsi's calls are actually sampled from real life birds
yeah but i hate the broadcast and i would prefer if they used a peacock and not wutever the fuck makes BABAbASBDBABAOOWWww noises
I may be a salty person but this just seems like another quality-of-life perk thrown in for carnis, because herbis will still get punished for eating 1% too much food while carnis get a safeguard + extra food storage
The crested oropendula is the source for the friendly call
i mean the broadcast
the 2call is fine
I never liked the hypsi broadcast, still sounds so robotic and unnatural to me.
yeah id prefer an EEE OWW not a BRA A A A A A DAAOOWW
Well we should still stick to the Neotropical/Australasian call sources to fit with the other calls.
the 2call sounds like a xylophone if im being honest
I think some parts of the call of the New Zealand Tui were used for the broadcast?
Birds make some of the weirdest sounds in the natural world - here's just a handful of some of the most outrageous!
Check out Part Two for 16 more!
0:07 Grey Go-away-bird
0:40 Capuchinbird
1:08 American Bittern
1:29 Brown Sicklebill
1:40 Laughing Kookaburra
2:05 Great Potoo
2:35 Willow Grouse
3:13 Jack Snipe
3:44 Channel-billed Cuckoo
4:26 Bla...
Thatās a fair criticism tbh. The thing is that herbies can eat grass, they never need to starve to death. They can also find food alll over. But carnivores always have the threat of starvation. IRL, herbivores do not gorge themselves. But carnivores do. And finally, carnos wouldnāt be immune to overeating. If they overfilled their gorge meter they could still puke. And gorging would compromise their speed and agility so it would make them much more vulnerable and sluggish.
This is something no natural herbivore would do, as they always need to be at the top of their fight or flight game. Thoughts?
its broadcast sounds like a dog whistle to me, cant stand listening to it
as much as it may be sampled from real birds, i will never be able to listen to it without my ears hurting
The point if being a carni is the challenge and the hunt, that's just a part of their gameplay
The only way a carni could overeat is on purpose
You cant even really get to 100% food right now because it tocks you 1-3% over and you puke
Its kinda irritating really, just a pet peeve
Yeah a less shrill sound would be better.
I never overeat as a carni. Iām never in danger of accidentally overeating. Iāve literally never done it. Always fill up to 100% and quit. So if ur having this issue, itās probably a bug rather than a feature.
Quality of life differences really pile up and can make or break the appeal of a faction, especially an already less played one
Iāve seen others overeat by accident when they werenāt even at 100% before tho. Iām certain itās a bug.
Moving while sniffing, sneaking, this extra food bar
I would make herbies able to move and sniff the compass and for food but not tracks.
Ive had to stop at about 98% because one more tick typically gets me pver the limit because the food values are uneven
And speaking about bird calls, the scythe billed cuckoo might be some nice velo call material
Iād also give herbies other bonuses, including slight hydration from eating berry bushes.
Meh, hydration should come from fresh meat and fruit, but its whatever
less shrill isnt the only fix
peacock calls are shrill, but theyre short
shortening the call might do wonders
Of course Iād give carnis slight hydration for eating a super fresh kill too.
its rlly interesting to hear wut each of us would do if we were in charge of developing the game
There are many carnis that definitely shouldnt just be allowed to gorge, it wouldnt even make sense to see a carno do it and then keep sprinting around like a cheetah, that would look stupid af
Faction specific quality of life like that is lame, just make it for certain dinos across the 3 factions
dilo maybe
Acro's fat ass definitely looks like he gorges himself every chance he gets
acro should benefit the most from gorging
its so fat
so
so
fat
acro should be able to eat 150% of its food bar
Idk maybe one of his special features is he's a theropod who's not affected by being a fat ass
ooh
wut if acro could use its extra fat for energy?
essentially increasing its stamina
however
bc its so much fatter, its slower
so it trades speed for endurance
Could work, he has subpar stam that can be bettered by an extra fat energy bar
Or trading speed for hp/endurance ya
Meh, maybe vary the size of the gorging pool across the dinos. Even giving certain herbivores the ability to gorge a little, like hypsies, so they can carry food to babies at the nest or something more easily, but not for most.
But I think all carnivores should be able to gorge to some degree, to help facilitate regurgitation for hatchlings without compromising their own stomach fullness.
yeah, the extra food would create a fleshy shield inside of its body
so it would take less damage
Meh, things like carno gorging itself would be ridiculous unless he is also slowed down. No thank
Well thatās obvious dude
Imagine a utah stuffing itself like a thanksgiving turkey and then continuing to spazz all over the place, ew
I wrote in my OP that gorging reducing movement speed and jump height if the Dino can jump.
Didnt you read the whole thing?
i think certain dinos should get affected differently by how much they are able to gorge
things like utah could only gorge 10% of its food bar
I agree āš½
If a utah jumps while gorged it should just throw up midair, fall and slip in it
Naw
Would make this worth it
Utah should just lose 10% jump height. Otherwise canāt get to high places where nest might be.
Utah deserves to starve
If he attempts to pounce while gorged, no dice. Pounce shouldnāt work while gorged.
i'd say cera could gorge 30% of its food bar
acro should be able to gorge the most
im debating whether it should be 50% or 75%
Screw you miragia Utah deserves to eat like any other Dino. Even carnos donāt deserve to starve.
I agree dr
Utah deserves to step on a piece of broken glass and get it between his toes
And they should have the least penalty for gorging.
Vera I mean
Cera
Sounds like ur a dryo player, miragia
Nah dryo is pretty bad
Donāt be mad just cuz ur Utah prey
Not as good of a shitpost dino as it used to be
Mainly just hate the utah for its hideous model and jp barks
And cringy utah mains
Haha! I LOVE the Utahās bark itās so Jurassic park
I get invited to groups on legacy and they all talk like theyre RPing even if they're apparently not
Also Iām a Utah main, and Iām not cringey at all. Iām smooth and gentlemanly.
That's just what a utah main would claim 
anyone who refers to themselves as a gentlemen is automatically cringe
i dont make the rules
āM'ladyā tips fedora with pronated wrist
Iām also a role player and voice actor. Which is super fun and funny to participate in or just to watch.
Ah HA, a utah main and an RPer, the two go hand in hand
Willow, anyone who has no value for being a gentleman is cringe. Every gentleman owns being a gentleman. If ur not a gentleman, you donāt have to own it, and you donāt have to be comfortable with gentlemen. I am a gentleman, and proud of it. I donāt look down on coarser individuals, but I behave according to the values of a gentleman and I love it.
Muricans.
@paper oriole if people are not roleolaying but they talk like they are, I think they are phonies. A real role player would never, for instance, hunt for sport.
I honestly can't tell if you're joking around rn or not lol
when i was a utahraptor main in legacy, i roleplayed having a government in my docktah pack
a fucking government
ppl had jobs and shit
but
A real role player tries to actually roleplay their Dino or character the way it should naturally behave.
Iām not joking. I donāt like phony role players.
i had to do this so that the pack could be functional
it sucked without a government
nobody did anything productive
Once i infiltrated docks and got some utah RPers to stack up for a āscreenshotā then i bit them all like 4 times and hauled ass
wut were u
Thatās kinda funny! Who knows, pack animals do have jobs and roles so who knows how complex it could get.
Acknowledging that you are nice kinda ruins it, you may see yourself as a gentlemen, but others may not. Pointing out how nice you are and how āgentlemenā like you are sounds more like a stroke of your ego rather than a reasonable argument against someone talking down about the things you enjoy.
Utah infiltrator
A better response wouldāve been āI like to do what I like to do, you can dislike it, it doesnāt affect meā and moved on.
Iām just stating a fact which is borne out by past evidence of my behavior. In other words, I actually treat people with respect, respect different opinions, am merciful to my enemies if they are helpless, even in a game. Itās not a judgement agaisnt anyone, just a factual observation. Itās also a repeating of Everyone who knows Meās opinion of me. Ppl call me a gentleman. š¤·š½āāļø I also have very low ego, so no reason to brag about things. Iām pretty obsessive about telling the truth and being accurate. So sure, take it however you want. To me, itās just a factual observation. āŗļø
PS Iām also not neuro typical. I donāt think like regular people at all. š¤·š½āāļø itās not a disability to me tho. Itās my superpower. š šŖš½
it was called the "Defender System"
there were two defenders (elected by the pack) who governed and protected the pack
the defenders could appoint sentries, hunters, and nesters
sentries sat at the sentry points (at port that would be the cranes) and if they saw danger they would do the alarm call (3 borks)
hunters would hunt for the pack at appropriate times (led by one or both defenders), they would also join the defenders in fighting off threats
Nesters are self-explanatory
I love this idea! Totally love it!
defenders were elected based on fighting skill and leadership skills (i, the best leader and most intelligent raptor, was obviously elected for the position of defender. i did not like it for i had no fighting skill at the time.)
Again, pointing out all of the nice things you do doesnāt exactly sound flattering, it just sounds like a āhey Iām better than you because I do nice thingsā. Shaming people for what they enjoy doing is indeed wrong, but itās better to show rather than tell, you know?
You certainly don't talk like somebody with a ālow egoā but besides that point. I still think gorging should be for selective animals across the 3 factions and not be yet another quality-of-life perk for one. Regurgitating for offspring being for carnis? Sure, though it would look good on omnis as well but whatever, but you can't seriously think a lean little raptor should be allowed to gorge and a fat ass stego should not
again
i think it should depend on the dino (how much it can gorge)
Yeah basically, not faction specific like mr utah here wants
Some carnis, some herbis, some omnis, some more than others specific to the dino not the faction
stego should be like acro
it should gorge itself up to 40% of its hunger bar
I don't think that's how fat works, I'm afraid.
What?
blubber offers protection, no?
There are a few slow fat blob herbis who look like they could gorge for some extra thicc layers
Well fat does work for retaining water and extra nutrients, but I'm not sure how much it helps when your likely rivals have some sharp weaponry (e.g. Giganotosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, which also have serrated teeth, as well as other Acrocanthosaurus)
Itās better to ask rather than judge too. But if someone judges because thatās one of the things normal people do, I donāt judge back, I just tell them the truth. No problem. I understand that people donāt think the way I do, but that doesnāt give anyone the right to judge someone for thinking differently just like I shouldnāt judge everyone for being different. Iāve long ago stopped trying to change my style to conform to the normal behavior. I expect normal ppl to accept me as different just like I accept them as different. š
Cerato, acro, deino, trike, stego, anky come to my mind with being able to just stuff their face given the chance
Ego issues out of the way, Utahraptor itself is a good dinosaur and deserves the same treatment the rest of them get. You canāt fault the animal when itās the players fault for making it into such trollish stain.
yeah
exactly
Fucking finally someone said it
āI don't judge backā immediately judges me to be a dryo main because i don't like the novaraptor reject that is Utah 
Canāt fault rex itself for being either brain dead or way too good in the right hands, thatās just a fact of shitty balancing.
Not a judgement. It was i speculation. Lol.
Same thing broh
Judging and speculating arenāt the same
Actually judgment (in our vernacular) is a condemnation. Speculation is neutral. I would never condemn you.
āYou must be a dryo mainā is in fact judgment based on an unrelated statement i made, but this has gone pretty far off topic
So is there a reason why you're arguing this or that critter should be treated differently?
Letās just move on.
Yep letās drop it and get back to dinos! Yay!
Yeah back to which dinos should stuff their fat faces or something idk
This topic is getting no where and Iām gonna start losing brain cells if I keep seeing you 2 make baseless assumptions.
Rex
no repeating names
Trike
Iguanas on
Spino
i mean a dino thats in the game/confirmed
no just list the dinos
Oh
Iguanadon is not confirmed to be added?!?
Nope
i'll come up with the effects of gorging for each dino
It on the table
Acro is hideously misproportioned when compared to it's real life counterpart.
Acro stress eats because he is insecure about his bad design
The head is more like that of Carcharodontosaurus. It's not an acro, it's a weird fat carcha.
alright, start listing
Stego
Anky
Deino
Magy
Allo
acro

thats a big list

so

Herra = can gorge 10% of its food bar

dibble = can gorge 15% of its food bar
pachyrhino = can gorge 20% of its food bar
hypsi = can gorge 4% of its food bar
rugops = can gorge 7% of its food bar
trike = can gorge 50% of its food bar
aight
thats the list
read thru it
lemme kno if anything seems off
oh
and i forgot trike
Trike should be a fat shit like acro tbh
Look at him
Honestly i'd give anky a bit more too but the disgraceful thing calling itself anky that weāre getting doesn't look like a proper chonker
I'd also give rugops a bit more if he gets the nasty bastard scavenger niche i've seen discussed with him a few times
how much more
I'd also probably bump taco to 10% since he's a pretty stout guy
Maybe just 15-20% not sure how mobile theyre gonna make him
so gorging is how much you can overeat? I feel like 1% is pretty useless and not very needed
i mean compy is small
shant?
yes and that's so little that it's not even needed
1% would help him against puking from uneven food value stacking at least lol
Ya for shant, 10-15
Er 15-20 i mean
Maybe 3% wiggle room for compy so he can scavenge more reliably
ok
Because sometimes that food value pops a few % over the cap from one bite
yeah
I would lower percentages that herbivores can gorge, and increase what carnivores can gorge, based on observations of irl animals like antelope, lions, wolves, elephants etc. wolves donāt really gorge themselves. So I agree with smaller pack hunters having very small gorge percentage. Scavengers should have high gorge percentages I agree with that too. Animals that might be larger and pack hunters like carnos and allos should be able to gorge more, similar to how lions and tigers really like to gorge themselves. Herbivores that are similar to modern bovine creatures should have a decent gorge percentage, since those animals Irl Are constantly eating. But not as high as the trike is listed, because herbivores just donāt gorge anywhere near the way carnivores do. IRL, the gorging behavior is a natural response to the rarity and difficulty associated with finding food. So once carnivores have food, they tend to stuff themselves, ranging between starvation and overeating. Herbivores tend to walk a balance in behavior. So if anything, Iād put the gorgiest herbivore at 110% max, and the gorgiest carnivore at 130% max. Thoughts?
ok allo is like a lion
but carno is not like a tiger
not one bit
PS by 110% I mean, 10% of food bar.
a carno is not gonna gorge itself as much as an allo
Ok fair itās not hyena but itās defiantly not a cheetah
ok wut else could it be if its not a cheetah
Iād say maybe a leopard
Except that leopards arenāt pack animals
Like a cross between a cheetah and a leopard. Lol
@stuck bison why would they halt dinosaurs for mechanics when the people who work on dinosaurs arenāt the same people who work on mechanics
They may work on mechanics for dinosaurs, but thatās what youāre asking for.
I'm not saying that the model artists and such halt what they are working on
But I love ur list and it rocks with the exception of that one counter suggestion!
thank you
Seems kinda dumb to hard focus 1 aspect of the game rather than having some do mechanics, some do animations, some do models, so do concept etc etc
I mean the programming priority of getting those dinos in and working and balanced and all that other stuff when they could be focusing on the programming aspect of core mechanics
Hypno does balance, so heās gonna do that no matter what
I'm talking about the programming focus specifically
i feel like certain mechanics should get their own updates where its just the mechanic and no dinos
like fractures
gore
@hybrid matrix what was ur methodology for assigning those values?
UI
I would much more prefer an actual base to the game before dinosaurs. Having fleshed out game mechanics with maybe 2 or 4 dinos would make Evrima a lot more enjoyable.
Also, itās better from a professional perspective to release 1-2 core mechanics with 1-2 dinosaurs, that way people are getting new things to do with new dinosaurs to play.
etc.
Programming dinosaurs takes a long time to do, the longer you put it off, the long we have to wait
estimated size and speed + niche filled
Nice šš½
Cause otherwise I predict Evrima servers will be dead up until update 7
Ffs theyāre asking for the mechanics to be moved up. Theyāre not being worked on at all until they get to that card, theyre not asking for everyone to stop what theyre doing
They will flare when an update hits cause people will go 'ooo new dino' but after a week or two it'll be dead again cause there's nothing to do
nesting isnt the only thing keeping ppl busy
Not picking sides here but it seems painfully obvious thatās what they meant like come on
updates 4-6 is gonna be great
it's not the only thing but it's a good primary thing
@noble pine I watched the first dev qa super awesome. Who were those guys? Was one of them Dondi?
The guy with longer hair is dondi
The other is paradym, who is no longer on the team for reason we wonāt discuss here.
I understand they want a good base for the game, a good foundation to add more things onto. Which is fantastic in my opinion, but I'd so much more prefer if they added mechanics that made the game more enjoyable. Add as many dinos as you want, but without good mechanics and a good foundation for the game I'm afraid it's not going to go well. That's my personal opinion at least, I prefer play-ability over more dinos.
Yes.. adding 2 dinos and 2 mechanics is fine, but then again I feel as if having more and better fleshed out mechanics makes the game more enjoyable. All in my opinion.
good opinion
Dieno an Ptra are incredibly important actually
When you mass add mechanics with no diversity in dinosaurs, the game will still become stale.
They are the based for every semi-aquatic and flyer that will be added and are the foundation to hose future mechanics
Also, some mechanics require a specific dinosaur or creature to be in the game
When that creature isnāt present, you just have a useless mechanic
i mean gore ig
There. Hows that? Better? @noble pine
but thats rlly it
Deino and Ptera are important it's why I said I understood their necessity
That wasnāt at you Shy
My bad then
elders, diets, fractures, UI, and nesting dont need a specific dino in
I think hard focusing mechanics and system after we get all of the dinos in that need certain mechanics to even be functional is fine
I just would like to have something to actually do, and something I could convince people makes it worth switching over to evrima
Everyone keeps telling me 'but I can't nest'
when it's the constant you hear everywhere and the servers lay dead that feels like a massive contributor
they think that nesting is the most enjoyable part of the game bc thats the only thing to do in legacy
just wait until they find out about diets
If the servers weren't dead I'd go 'ok I'll play with these people'
but the servers are DEAD.
I don't know how much diets will bring people in. I hope it would but....I don't know. I guess I'll just have to disappear for a few more months and hope when I come back I can play.
diets are gonna force u to do stuff
afk growing will be no more\
How many people are going to get drawn in to that requirement when they don't have something like nesting in friends to make getting together easier to fall back on with the added difficulty of diets though?
Everyone can AFK grow right now, while the game is easy to play and don't play the game.
People enjoy nesting cause they get to see the itty bitty cute baby dinos, they get to nest in their friends, they get to goof around a bit and play the mom or dad or mischievious baby. They get to deal with the added dangers of baby snatching or getting snatched. There's a lot more social involvement that pulls players together to play together with nesting. Diets is more of a solitary game play mechanic. It's not going to pull people in as well as nesting would.
Iām not a coder but I think they have the order of the roadmap for a reason. Certain code and tech is foundational to other tech, and so has to be developed and implemented first. If Iām wrong, pls correct me.
I agree with you in spirit tho
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the diet system and I'm super excited for it. It's just after an hour of playing on a server with no one else on and walking around with no one to run into it's pretty boring.
Well r you on North American sever? If so gimme a shout Iāll play with ya! Itās got good ping and low lag so Iām happy to have company on there.
Otherwise there r other active evrima servers like ibis isle
I prefer to play official servers personally. My schedule is chaotic as well.
Yeah, I was on there....long enough to see the mix grouping and everyone just sitting with everyone and no one playing the game....
Ya I like officials sometimes. And ya, mix packing happens a lot there. Lol. Iām not a fan of it. Iām in between jobs due to pandemic so shout me out when ur planning to play a little and Iāll join you on an official.
I should say no one playing the game in the same manner as is accustomed on official servers
I should say Iām more a fan of the realism servers tho, but Iām cool with offials as long as I have company lol
Tbh main reason I dont play evrima is because of how ugly it looks and feels, the movement mechanics just don't sit well with me.
Interesting considering it looks better then legacy and mechanics are 100% better in terms of movement vs legacy but ok. I respect your opinion Yeager though I don't agree with it.
I wouldn't mind realism servers if they actually supported realism
Anything with a 'body down' rule isn't realism to me. The moment you can go 'oh I'm safe now' cause someone else died isn't realism
Plenty of animals actually hunt for sport and will mass kill for the sake of it as well. For a true realism server to exist body down shouldn't exist
I donāt mean to be argumentative, but could you provide some examples and data to back that up? Because based on the info Iām aware of regarding animal behavior, they do not kill for sport except in very rare cases. In nature documentaries Iāve never observed carnivores killing for sport and not eating the body, although there are certainly isolated examples of revenge killing, destruction of other animals bloodlines, like in lion prides etc. but these are not sport killings, they have legitimate biological motivations. Thoughts?
Dolphins quite commonly hunt and kill porposus for sport. Cats will hunt and kill despite needing any food or sustance because they are fully provided for by owners.
Animals will kill to hone and keep their hunting skills sharp at times, even when food is abundant.
The point is that in the wild, there is no 'body down' rule, and there is no 'no KOS'. It is chaotic and terrorfying. To set up rules that take away that element, that provides a 'safe haven' over something such as that takes out that element and negates 'realism'
And the secondary rules attached to body down further negates realism. 'you can't try and steal food from a gore without challenging the person'. Scavangers steal bits and peices all the time but no, not allowed. 'you have to challenge a person verbally if you want their food' not all predators are going to do that, some are ambush predators who will ambush something to attack it rather then announce their prescence
Orcas also have been observed sport killing, but these are rare and isolated cases. Sometimes when orcas and dolphins appear to sport kill, they are actually delicacy killing, and they leave the rest of the carcass for scavengers while they eat only a single prized portion, like the liver.
Then of course there are the isolated incidents of mass killing, like one dog that killed a bunch of penguins apparently just for sport. I could be wrong, but I donāt see evidence of mass or sport killing being a common behavior. It appears to be rare, and maybe even pathological.
I agree with the food stealing point I make entirely tho.
You*
Cats you mean how they play with their food?
The point however is that point is that when a body drops. it shouldn't suddenly put every herbivore at ease and have a safe zone until that body is finished
Yes I agree with that kinda.
I have cats that hunt and kill just to hunt and kill. They get fed plenty but do it anyways, it's a way for them to keep their hunting skills sharp. As well as some animals will hunt and kill to stash the food for later. Foxes do this along with some other canines and omnivorous animals, not just nuts and berries but with kills.
And as you said, an animal may kill for just one prize part of the animal and move on leaving the carcass, though it's a game without that mechanic, the fact that is a thing should mean in a realism server if someone eats some from a body and decides to abandon it and move on they should be able to
instead we also have this 'you can't leave the gore until it's finished or someone chases you off of it'
I mean, if ur a carnivore and you kill a large herbivore that can obv feed you and ur friends, ur not gonna continue to attack and attempt to kill more herbivores tho. Ur gonna stop and eat, and guard that kill you made. Unless itās a small meal of course. But, humans tend to lean towards gratis killing for the sake of sport and excitement. So I think some servers put more extreme rules in place, to temper the excesses of the player base and to weed out players who want to kill just for the kicks, rather than roleplay an animals life and behavior.
When I would play utah raptor. I played as a lone wolf type. I'd hunt, kill, eat what filled me, move on. leaving what was left for anyone else. But per a lot of realism server rules I'm not aloud to do that.
I'm just saying I get a more 'realism' game play experience from Official servers then I ever do on realism servers
When you make everything predictable because of all the rules you put in place. you suck any level of realism of what it is like in the wild right out of it
Yes this is true Iāve seen this too. Itās not sport killing tho, because it has a legit biological reason. Stock piling. Saving for winter. Keeping their instincts sharp. Check out these incidents of mass and sport killings. Rare, but to me, they seem more similar to how players kill for sport.
Surplus killing, also known as excessive killing, henhouse syndrome, or overkill, is a common behavior exhibited by predators, in which they kill more prey than they can immediately eat and then they either cache or they abandon the remainder. The term was invented by Dutch biologist Hans Kruuk after studying spotted hyenas in Africa and red fox...
Really?!? Why not?! That seems ridiculous to me, and NOT realistic! Lol. To me, how you played seems truly realistic.
Nope. rules state I have to stay with the body until the gore is gone. Some places have that as a rule
They also have it where you can't 'share' with scavangers when in the wild there are often times that so long as the top predator gets all the good bits they don't care of some scavanger species come and share with the kill
But nope. People want to micromanage other people to the point that it's not fun
Fair point and I agree. I think rules should be very light. But, on the other hand, I see them as becoming necessary when bored individuals begin to do things that ruin the ārealismā RP for other āanimalsā. Then ppl start multiplying rules... some of which, as you said, further mess up the realism. š¦
I have a very simple set of rules that consists of 11 rules total.
I stopped funding the server cause no one wanted to play though cause there's nothing to do right now
if ever people DO play evrima then it may come back and the discord server might have life again to it.
But eh...
Ya dude I agree with you, all good points and criticisms. I wasnāt aware that some realism servers were this, unrealistic and micromanaging.
The ones that everyone has heard of tend to be that micro managing
Tell me ur rules, Iād like to check ur discord out
when the rules get in the way of me being able to behave like an animal it becomes a server not for me.
One thing I never liked about some servers is the rule against helping other animals species. Iāve witnessed many animals of different species help or protect one another. From carnivores sharing kills, to one animal rescuing another animal from a predator or attacking a predator to save another species life.
Some animals even adopt babies of other species and raise and protect them.
I heard about that. Very sad. Dondi seems kinda cool tho.
Yeah there are cases where animals help one another. It's one reason I wanted to seperate species more by 'predatory, non-predatory, and prey' and then do a more detailed snyopsis in which animals might naturally be found living peacefully near one another to a point. There's also the fact that though for example some animals herd together like in the savannah, rarely do you see an antelope come to the defense of a zebra. But you may see a wilderbeast that's nearby get aggressive and try to chase off the lion.
Right. Iāve never seen an example of a smaller animal coming to the defense of a larger one.
Problem is there's to many people who wants to play each dino like it's it's a class rather then a species. They treat it like a raiding party that's supposed to take out a boss and each one has it's specialty instead of putting themselves in the mindset of the animal itself and what would come of it naturally and thats why you end up with 'no mix packing' more then anything else, and even then they still allow it with herbivores which causes massive problems for any carnivore trying to legitimately hunt
Because of that, That's why I don't agree with mixed herbivore groups in official servers if carnivores aren't allowed to mix group either.
Fair. I agree. The other day, a pack of Utahās and carnos were hanging out. I say hanging out, the carnos were stalking the Utah rock, trying to keep Utahās from hunting, and hoping to make a quick meal out of us. Lol. It didnāt work of course, the Utahās came and went as we pleased because Utahās can out maneuver carnos. But then a herd of tenos came along.
I suggested to the carnos that instead of having this unprofitable stand off between 6 adult Utahās and 3 adult carnos, we should all just hunt the tenos together. I was immediately informed that this would be mix packing and against the rules. Which seemed impractical to me, as two carnivorous species would hunt each other so long as other prey wasnāt available. But if it was, it wouldnāt be practical for both species to fight a battle that would mutually destroy them. I donāt think in the wild, animals would pass up hunting together like that.
Well now usually the only time two predatory species tends to be noted to mix hunt in the wild is when it s a 1:1 ratio as well. You don't usually see a family of badgers pair with a family of coyotes to take something down. But you do see one badger working with one coyote to flush out prey and work together.
So a pack of utah's working with a pack of carno's wouldn't be to realistic at all. However, It would have made more sense for the carno's to switch focus to the tenonto's instead of the utahs as that would have been a more logical prey item, unless of course you were to declare that a territorial dispute
Honestly though generally in the wild after having not achieved anything it would've made more sense for the carno's to just move on and actually look elsewhere for food if we were to try and achieve a more realistic animal behavior. (unless of course this was what they considered their territory/nesting area) then of course they'd just keep hounding you until you died.
However a lot of species of animal if it was proved time and again that they couldn't 'get rid' of the issue, and felt it was a threat to their young it would make more sense for them to seek a different nesting territory. Because they wouldn't be able to eliminate the threat and it would be to constant for them to feel comfortable.
and if it was just for food then I would have guessed (if they were going for realism) that the carnos would switch focus to the tenonto's for food. and tried to hunt one down. I don't see the utahs helping in trying to take the same tenonto target down, but the group targeting a different tenonto by trying to take oppertunity in the confusion I could see. If they went for two seperate tenonto targets away from one another instead of the same one, that would have made sense.
@tawny juniper grazing while walking is already in evrima
Ye I was thinking the same thing XD
picking prey is up to you. i personally think a utah is an easier kill for a carno especially if said utah is fighting a tenonto and was injured. the carno could simply sit back and wait for the fight to end. if theirs a body that drops the carno could easily take it or if the aggressing animal(s) in this case utahs back off the carno is more likely to go for the animal in a worse state. weather that's a badly hurt tenonto or a near dead utah. everything is in the end up to player preference and decided by the player.
@hybrid matrix you forgot homalocephale
Reread the list
Ok
Homa is between pachy and proto
Thanks sorry for wasting your time
In this game, i could see two utahs and a single carno working together to take down a tenonto, but not a single utah and a single carno, because the carno can easily kill a single utah.
You can see it from a game play perspective but in the wild it really wouldn't play out like that generally speaking
Ah mb
i could see multiple packs hunting one herd as the chaos made from it would allow many openings for animals in the herd to be potentially killed
theres a part of me that feels like that spino is the real spino and we had a cretaceous long-nosed reptilian hippo
It was the real Spino.
honestly
i want to believe that this is the real spino just so that i can make fun of jurassic park 3 fans
"spino twasnt your big stupid kaiju creature, twas a chunky hippo!"
I like most Spinos
same here
except for bipedal spinos with tiny sails
bipedal spinos with big sails i can live with. thats why i have no real problems with legacy spoon
I mean that Spino looks convincing despite the inaccuracies like pronated wrists (though the hand structure could easily be modified to enable such a posture)
I wish more people would be more creative when reconstructing Spino, its a very bizarre creature you can interpret in many ways. But nope, we just get shit like boring Evrima Spino.
yeah :/
Legit
Well now that we have a tail from the Neotype, we can confirm it may have looked a bit more boring.
i never wouldve looked at a spino skeleton and thought to myself "this mustve looked like a huge hippo"
falcon spino 
Never seen a falcon spino

oh good lord what is this
i have never seen this in my life
It is the real Spino
Mmmmm that vegaspino needs to die a horrible death
ooh
whale spino
spino with fins on its hands like a mosa
In 2013 we (a) had no Spinosaurus hindlimb or tail material, and thus that is a bunch of creative artistic liberties.
i dont like it
Man that.....that is just gross
It was actually meant for All Yesterdays, a pretty good book on Paleoart.
Spino tail is both a blessing and a curse
But I still like the fat buffalo style spino over the real animal.
And I'm making the buffalo comparison because it's got a proper hump instead of a sail
Btw what if we have a faceoff between the monster spino and the trunked spino
Trunked Spino crushes it with its weight ez
i'd unironically play trunked spino instead of our jp spino
while i agree additional phenotypes for certain dinosaurus would be cool, (because who doesn't want a feathered utah) but that monstrosity of an animal that you call a spino is just... no
I assumed elephant seal spino was there as a joke lol but deadass i'd play it over the boring jp spinorex
I heard they were actually planning to add a mosa of some kind further down the line, idk if its really official though
The different calls, sizes and skins for males/females sound amazing but if the devs don't plan or add it im sure modders will eventually. Takes a while tho and modding is not even enabled yet. (will be in the future)
yeah certainly
I really like the idea of different calls depending on what sex you are
however, expect anything like that during update 7 with sexual dimorphism
@frigid osprey
only slight differences, enough to tell whether an animal is male or female from pretty close but not enough that they sound like two entirely different animals
yes
Calls for breeding would be a bit problematic unless directed only at the crosshairs target. Otherwise you might get the wrong parent, messing with skin inheritance etc
Yeah true good point
@cunning orchid not a feedback
Use #š§-evrima-troubleshooting-š§ or #š-evrima-bug-reports-š to notify of server crashes
however, if it is privately owned. NOT OFFICIAL
Talk to the owner of the server
@idle ibex I feel like diving should be giving to a diff bird, cough, pelagornis, cough and ptera can comfortably rely on skimming and doesnāt really need one I personally feel
Does anyone wanna talk about my Iguanodon suggestion?
Just curious if anyone had any problems or suggestions for it.
It looks like a pretty solid suggestion
Would be nice to have more brawler herbis esp such an obvious popular choice
Grappling predators with its spikes and slamming their shit while shanking them at the same time
Be a total brute
I can't name any actual reasons it shouldn't be added, other than its the devs decision
Yeah they add mono who they havent even revealed what will make it anything better than weak utah but don't want iggy because-?
maia wit tums
Iggy doesnt need any fancy mechanic made up for it to be good like mono or magy it is a very valid choice for the roster
wait u appreciate magy too?
No lol
:(
Im saying theyll need to pull some mad shit outta their ass to make magy work
Could have just put in Bajadasaurus
tough shit we're getting magy
If magy turns out good without it being crazy it'll be a pleasant surprise but i woulda preferred baja, amarga or ampelo
same
but tough shit
They already dumped the money on magy so it's too late, hopefully he isnt as shite as he seems
he wont be
he has a ton of armor
blades on his shoulders
a battering ram of a neck
it'll be able to fight well
He has a moderate amount of scutes sure but idk, cera is apparently a match for him so i worry about his balance against allo and alberto
true
but still
we're talking about iggy
we got offtopic
Cera was shown ripping magy's head in his concept art, magy was shown just CCing. I'm not keeping my hopes up for it but if it turns out to not be total peepeepoopoo then great
Iggy is too good not to come eventually
yeah
It's a famous dinosaur, a paleo favourite, viable and relatively unique
Can hold its own, doesn't need to be hyper fictionalized
@tall oasis I will say, a marshland would be better than a mudland
even if we dont get iggy until after EA, we should still get it
Why not have both marsh and mudland? It's a pretty big map
tru
I want a big sexy slot canyon too

Dondi played in a marshland once. Long grass, dandom splotches of deep water
Need
this could be terrifying
Its a hazard too, the surface entrance can be pretty narrow
Would love to be there as a velo
Could have a connected cave system too
We don't even know if pela has been confirmed last I checked
idk, thats too narrow I think. What would happen when a rex and allo meet in there face to face, the allo doesnt stand much chance
Its a sort of small tier mini biome
If a mod tier goes in there it's at his own risk
i'd love to be a human, hear a low grumble, and then see an allo in front of me, slowly moving forward
Well the slot canyon can be a part of that biome
that is actually true, narrow spots would be great for humans
yeah ik I'm joking with this
Not everything needs to be full access to mids and up. I want some natural smaller tier biomes. Also imagine someone tripping and falling down the crevice because they don't watch their step lol
Yes but if it does come, and itād be a better diving niche animal then ptera imo
Rex chasing you, you hop over the narrow canyon and the fatass just gets his leg caught and breaks it
Fun fact: Pela won't come because everyone spammed it to Bryan and he got tired of it.
I guess it would, i just think it would bring new play styles to have a more open area with the ability to wallow everywhere around it.

to be honest, I want some shrublands
@noble star there is no need to worry about it
we aren't going to get another Legacy update, the devs understand that it's just a waste of time
what?? people having fun with hypos on chinese servers!!???
call packet quick
the original update was to stop Chinese hackers.
People who could admin spawn, grow, etc. without being an admin,
@arctic turret partly because this is a game, irl pretty much everything bites and holds.
yea u right
it just looked weird to me
i thought it would make sense for da big gator
i mean, it is nice to have two different attacks, instead of having one attack just a slightly different variant of the regular attack
yeah mayb a tail swipe too
cause it was getting bodied from behind
even tho it can turn fast
crocs got super strong tails
i tail attack for deino would be really cool, something that wouldn't do too much damage but could smack a utah down like teno
it just wouldn't give the stun so it would only be useful against small things that can run around and give you a quick spanking before running off
rightright
it could knock things as big as cera down, and then anything bigger it would be pretty useless because nothing bigger can really manuver around your jaws to even get back there so you might as well use your more powerful weapon
omg
just imagine
a carno speeding down a road
it passes by a deino and it trips the fuc out of the carno
itll look like when u make dragons crash in skyrim
@stray ledge What ever button it was that you picked it up with. I believe it is G.
Can't remember.
However, if you tried that already.
You have a bug. Report it in #š-evrima-bug-reports-š
its G
aight
how do you drop bodies as the carno in evrima
press G
if you can't, then it's a bug
@crystal trail I'm so sorry for the ping Punch but there is ONE question that I have been wanting the answer forever since Evrima began. (I won't ask anything else) Has the Isle Dev team gone over thoughts from the Community about server owners having the choice to turn off humans so it can be a Dino only server? A lot of Realism servers want Dino's only and having humans wont help with it (<--what they said)
i am pretty sure they have already said humans can be turned off (don't quote me on this)
Didn't know where else to put this.
They've talked about it
They want Server owners and admins to have more power in controlling their servers
You'll be able to activate dinosaurs, eg. Like Brachi
However, officials will stay with base permissions with what is locked and unlocked.
I do believe the devs REALLY want to do this with stuff in the near future of the Isle.
Expect around Update 4-7
So are you saying that they could possibly turn off humans as well, just like how you can turn off a dino?
its very likely
Yes pretty much
If you're a server owner who doesn't like the ideas of Humans in the isle. Bam
though im not sure its been mentioned recently, it has been brought up in the past
I can't remember if Punch said this, but I remember someone talking about Brachi being an option to play or not for admin perms
I think pretty much every single playable, including humans, would be toggleable
^ some nice cave examples ^^
The holed one is an old volcano, and the lush one was just another aesthetic to those lovely hidden cavern lakes :3
Hoping to see stuff like these in the new map ā¤ļø
I would hope
I would LOVE to see a Human Only server
To which the only dinos are AI
but much later in the future
your right, that one flew over me
and what does that have anything to do with feedback or suggestions?
the entire thing is a suggestion
for?
stego has already been called a pseudo apex, so i am suggesting it be considered an apex, sucho is usually considered a mid tier, so i am suggesting it be consider a pseudo apex.
still not getting how its a suggestion
then you also merge pseudo mid and mid tier together
i also don't know how to devs are going to do other animals so i am giving suggestions to generally where they would be placed
balancing doesnt follow tier philosophy. tier lists and placements are made by the community, for the community, just to give a general idea of a dinosaurs size or strength
Pretty sure apexes depend on size and how well you fight
i was just about to say that, that it is also to help with people who don't know the general level of certain animals
then why post it in feedback?
where else would i post huh? in isle discussion where it will get blown over in seconds?
nvm ima just delete because yall clearly dont give a crap, i thought it would be cool, and to help newer players that might not even know the entire roster
Its not even feedback
why not just bring it up in isle discussion in ya know, actual discussion about said thing? instead of posting it in feedback where it probably shouldnt be, then getting defensive when you cant come up with a reason why its in feedback?
fine
@wanton hull We'll be seeing rendering improvements, and generally speaking, QoL and LoD improvements throughout each update
lol
Seems kind of weird to be stunned by kicking something too big. A stagger would make a lot more sense and still leave you vulnerable
Hello, is it posible to play the game in 32:9 with 5120x1440? On my pc looks like zoomed.
This would fit better than flat out realism spino imo, it still looks fierce while maintaining most of spino's accurate features
Totally agree the spinorex is trash tho

Gorgeous
@fervent fable sorry, people hate accurate spinosaurs here because they want them to be monstrous rex topplers
sadly.. XD
Though I personally see it as a stupid, abysmal trope brought about by some certain movie...
What a waste of a unique aquatic theropod
Well on an island with many fierce creatures that it didnāt have to deal with in its time period... itās gonna need to be a bit tougher
tbh im kind of more scared of that spino than the one we getting it just looks stronger to me personally for some reason
Spinosaurus coexisted with Carcharodontosaurus
I hate the new spino's animations
Like rex, giga, sucho and acro weren't enough for land they had to turn speen into a boring terrestrial too
Oh and our dinosaurs are already somehow deviating from their real life counterparts
For example, rex is a fast ambush predator in the game
Our rex is also tyrannorexic
God i hate rex model, but at least it isnt as desecrated as spino
honestly I prefer legacy spino at this rate-
At least legacy spino was cute
New spino is just a dumb monster
Its got 0 personality to it
I feel the devs aren't really trying with animations anymore, like, allo, Spino, carno all the same weightless anims
Hopefully that at least gets fixed when they hire more animators. Bryan is good at smaller dinos but he seems to base things way too much off of modern flightless birds who are nowhere near the right size
Im sure he'll do galli well since its basically big emu/ostrich lol
But the big boys need more
bryan should be the bird dino guy who animates the ones that have bird like bodies
Legacy spinosaurus was really just a morphed Suchomimus, but better than our current one
The emu
it definitely had a better face, actually looked like a fisher and not some rex with a loony toons stretch face
new one also has a sad small spine
We could have had a weird paleomeme spino, with some modern aspects of its anatomy added in
i would have even preferred retro spino over what we got, at least i could point and laugh at that and not just look at it like "ugh"
while this isn't so accurate by today's standards, it still could be given some adjusments while retaining the same general features and its good to go.
deadass would play this abomination over jp spinorex baryonix maximus
Spino?
Like a change to the current known skull
perhaps a more visible crest, extended with keratin or skin
they straight up put its eye in the wrong hole like how can they mess that up so bad
Yes
AND WE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ARTISTIC LIBERTY
The holotype and neotype may not even be the same taxon
They come from different localities (the original holotype is from Egypt, the neotype and other known specimens are Moroccan)
So hump backed spino, as unlikely as it is, still has potential to be an accurate reconstruction
Again, youāre trying changing spino merely for the aesthetic of it being unique, the design is basic, but youāre giving up more power, defense, the ability to hunt more than just fish, being able to defend against deinos in the water while also being able to defend against apexes on land. Is the new spino invincible? No, but itās a lot better in terms of play style than ālol I can swim with muh fin tail and I canāt win against anything bigger than suchoā. What youāre doing is turning spino into a giant target thatās incapable of escaping anything on land and has to compete with deino in the water.
This one is unique and totally not a pushover
A better suggestion would be to ask for concept art spino
You dont need to be a Rex wannabe to not be a pushover
How is it not a pusher over? Arms lack muscle and arenāt long enough to swipe anything itās size, legs are too short for running away from thing that could easily over power and take it down
Thereās literally nothing about our spino that is like rex excerpt the legs, itās head isnāt like a rex, itās arms arenāt, neither is itās tail, nothing, itās abilities and play style and look are completely different from trex besides the legs.
Idk, but isle never really cared about how much muscle something had to give It a strong attack
Para 2-3 shotting allo despite having sticks for arms for example
it can still use its weight, its stout legs and large tail give it extra balance. if it doesn't think it can stand up in the fight it can go in the water and flip off the rex/giga from there
nothing really wrong with that tapwing spino
It dont have to be accurate Spino but can it be something that isnt so boring, Spino is an animal you can do so much with so why turn it into dumb basic kaiju, not even a cool kaiju
yeah they basically tried to make it as uncreative as possible i swear
Yes, our spino just looks like dogshit.
We already have 3 Big theropods, we dont need a fourth
even if people complain about legs, you can just give tap's spino longer legs and it'll still look a million times better than generic theropod #692 that we have now
is it just me or does the spinos face just look a bit too short?
āļø
yep if somebody wants to brawl on land with a bigass theropod they can pick rex or giga. there was 0 reason to turn spino into the same trash almost every other dinosaur related game uses
''But it needs to be that way to defend itself!!!!'' No it doesnt, Spino is a very large, bulky animal and no matter how you depict it, its not something you take on lightly.
Whatās generic about it
Please enlighten me
Spinosaurus has more potential as being a giant of rivers and esturaries instead of being a baryonyx with a tiny sail glued on and the eyes placed in the wrong fucking sockets
Its theropod with Spino details slapped onto it
Giving it longer legs literally makes it another generic theropod by your definition
Tyrannosaur teeth
It doesnt but wahtever
It literally does 
Tyrannosaur body and giga legs
it's generic because 90% of dino games or movies with spino have it as a long legged baryonix rex with a semicircle sail
yes
Giga arms*
What is the difference between Evrima Spinoa ns Sucho other than the sail
it's called compromising. If someone suggests tapwing's spino someone always brings up the legs, but having them altered still leaves the rest of it unique
I have a spino tooth, they look like spino teeth
How are they giga arms???? Spinos arms are twice as large as gigas
That makes no sense lmfao
They are giga arms just with spino arm lenght
Our spino has a spino shaped head (the eyes arenāt properly placed) enlarged legs and arms, a sail and an abnormally thin tail
They arenāt but keep going
They are but keep going
i don't think there's much else to be said other than "i want our spino to look the part". If you don't understand that then it's just a difference in opinion
If you can say shit like this i also can
our spino has its eye in the wrong hole and rex brows, a small sail so they can still call it spinosaurus because it has one, generic land theropod legs, its arms arent that bad
They arenāt, the fingers and claws are much larger, the arms are longer and have more muscle, the only similarity is that they both have 3 fingers
The more I talk about it the more confident I am at calling Evrima Spino just pure shit
i don't think i'd compare its arms to giga, the spino at least has better gripping claws but that might just be because its arms are already positioned with bent fingers and this is a t pose
but its legs, head and sail are trash
I do wish the sail was larger
its sail is so sad
honestly i'd be content with them fixing his eye and his sail but god do i hate seeing spinos with long legs
The body could also be less literally tyranosaur
I can stand the long legs if the rest of the design isnt dogshit
Legs are fine, arms are fine, skull should be longer, sail should be bigger, concept art tail
honestly I like our new spino a lot, I'd prefer if we got a more accurate one like in the concept art, but I think if what we have is given a slightly larger sail it'll be fine
the concept is good, I guess
In fact, i actually like the new spino, but imho if i wanted to play a bulky terrestrial Big theropod i would just play rex
same, and I know they're going to make spino more unique but I think it would be better if they went with the concept art
Concept art was a perfect compromise between its supposed niche and being unique
And I would honestly go with acro, which is a fairly underrated predator
I don't really like Giga too much, but acro is a brilliant theropod imo
I just dont like carcharodontids in general, thats why i would go with rex
Yeah tyrannosaurs are dope
But spinosaurs and raptors are my favorites
A shame they are the most cursed with the jp curse
Spinos good on land and in water, but the best at neither, itās not a terrestrial animal by any stretch, walk out into an open field and youād probably become a pack of rexes food. But being able to run full speed (I think?) Underwater is a huge advantage imo. I like the negatively buoyant idea, it could be great for a quick escape from deinos or a from other apexes, just haul ass through the water to the other side, theyāll still be swimming and youāll be out of there
It also could be used for ambushing small prey items if youāre desperate and canāt find fish for some reason.
Every time I think about spino fighting another apex I keep seeing our spino in the jwe fighting stance

just read Xenon's feedback and to that I say how would you get the hypo blood for the weapon if you don't have the weapon to kill it with
uhhhhh

my brain is starting to hurt from this
uhh u find a dead hypo? idfk
You ask the hyper very politely if you can have a blood sample
wait
actually thats smart
u can only get the blood of a hyper from a dead hyper
essentially making it near impossible to acquire the weapon
Use a hyper to kill a hyper
lol i imagine a merc trying to shoot a hyper with a tranq dart and it just bounces off and the hyper slowly turns around like āwho threw that piece of paper at me?ā Like that scene in Spongebob
hypos should be really fucking difficult to kill
also the ammo should be hella hard to get
like its not on the island so u have to buy it or smthn (but it would be insanely expensive)
meaning that even if u have the weapon, u would have to save it for a hyper since the ammo is so costly
they should require a lot of time and people
and coordination
it shouldn't just be "haha funny bullet kill big monster"
that or a hyper killing weapon should be near impossible to get and the ammo should be so costly that u cant just use it against regular dinos
also
the weapon should be so loud that everything can hear u
a weapon that just kills hypos is extremely lame
maybe there could be a weapon that assists in the process
meaning that u rlly shouldnt use it unless theres a hyper trying to kill u
but it shouldn't just be "I have this weapon so I can now leisurely kill a hypo"
that or u could just make the weapon be near impossible to get, the ammo insanely expensive, and the risks of using the gun greater than the reward.
as in
u have to first find a dead hyper to acquire the weapon, u have to pay millions of dollars for a single bullet, and firing it makes so much noise that everything on the island can pinpoint ur area
Oh, donāt mind the 3rd photo 
I feel like if there are hypo-killing superweapons they should be absurdly difficult to use and should not be a "get out of hypo free" card
oh yeah for sure
it shouldnt just be
"uh oh its a hyper"
bang bang
"yay hyper ded"
dammit i keep doing that
i keep saying should and not shouldnt
like some giant ass energy cannon that requires a a few minutes to charge up and needs to be manually pushed to move it around
Eww
ew
just an example
it should be very large
my point is it shouldn't be a handheld gun
if we get humvees then it could be mountable to a humvee
eh
nvm
but it should be mountable to structures
yeah I feel like thats too op
u cant lug it around alone
and u cant have ur gun out while ur lugging it
how would u design a trap for a 40 foot tall t-rex on steroids
exactly, it should be extremely difficult
and should require a large group and a lot of coordination
idfk, just the idea of some sort of set immobile weapon that involves coordination and planning
it could be a shotgun (hear me out)
but the range is so bad that u would have to get right up next to the hypo to hit it
the shotgun would be insanely heavy since it fires MASSIVE slugs
btw thats inspired by the Slugger Shot from EDF 5
it should not be handheld
a shotgun that shoots giant bullets but has a range of 48 meters
i was describing the inspiration
you described it as a shotgun
this is wut its inspired by
thats wut it is
What is aarchy
@tawny juniper
yeah a shotgun is incredibly lame
an insanely powerful shotgun with shit range
yeah no
archeopteryx
fine
Oh, arch is teensy isnt he
Meant archaeopteryx if I spelled that right
My brain wasnt wporking though lmao
that is bird
That is archy
yeah thats literally just a bird
it bird
Archy
Shanag or changyuraptor are better options as a glider
archeopteryx is a bird
bird
i like shanag
Archy is Archy
its a funny bird
its easier to say than changyuraptor
He has a chad name
Archy is adorable but what would he eat aside from bugs?
Scavenger
Like pt
idk'
Maybe tho i mean compy would body arch as its the current cleanup crew tiny tier
archy is compy with feathers
Also Velociraptor and other smaller tier carnivores exist.
If they add more ambient birds then arch could be one of them but as part of the actual ecosystem he can't hunt and wouldn't be worth hunting
ig
Or modern birds could as well be added
Maybe as a mod in the future but he's like a single skittle in the food chain
And btw I would like to see velo or some smaller carnivore leaping up to catch birds like weavers or fowl (like Caracals)
Could potentially create an arboreal ecosystem with archy?
With smaller flying ai and bugs
Velo should totally have some level of climbing/leaping
Velo carnivorous squirrel
Sociable weavers, which live in Africa, form these large colonies
Also, creature suggestions have to explain what something could add to the game, how it'd differ from any potential current in-game playables. Shanag just feels like Troodon.
Plus being a fragmentary critter doesn't help much
Velo can jump about 3 meters up, which isn't too bad for catching birds
though caracals can do an impressive 4 meters

I mean we had this for a while and all we got is some spine chunks
I mean gliding is wanted but how would it fit into the game as a nice and used mechanic
Oof the image doesnt load
Is shanag going to be the only thing in the trees other then austro?
In that case it would hardly work
It would be on the ground more then it wouldnt
You mean herrera right
Austro is not a climber
Herrera whatever
Austro and Herrerasaurus are anything but alike, unless talking legacy
Austro is a wading fisher, Herrera is given the fictional ability of climbing
I get them mixed upm because they are both not very good in legacy and arent playable
Austro is the 2nd largest known raptor (or Unenlagid, if Unenlagidae is a valid family), whereas Herrerasaurus is this oddball saurischian which may or may not be a theropod
ok
I added a bit more Shanag details of it help
funny name isn't a reason for it to be added
Sshh it's just there as a bonus
if you want it to be taken seriously then I would make teh suggestion serious is all i'm saying
funny name is all the reason you need
Shanag
Beautiful
Balaur better 
Balaur is beautiful but i think he's a bit too chonkers to be a glider
He's a speculative omnivore right? He'd be cool
Yea balaur is cool
I imagine balaur would be able to glide down onto dinosaurs
Idk about glide but he could totally be a dropbear
Would be cool on paper but imagine how boring that gameplay would be
I would give balaur a glide to make it unique from velo
Isnt herrera gonna drop from the trees though? Idk about boring
Eventually an arboreal omni would be cool so Balaur can be on the table
As far as I'm aware herrera has the ability to climb trees for cover, Kind of a jaguar niche
Can climb trees but hunts on ground for the most part
Herrerasaurus might be best compared to a clouded leopard
Yes
These do climb trees frequently and are agile there, too
While Balaur could theoretically be fictionalized as a glider he seems kind of stout. I wanted zhenyuanlong as a glider a while back too but he had a similar issue.
Personally I'd be fine with a fictionalized Balaur, Shanag or Changyuraptor as long as it's done well
Yea I want balaur as a glider but I would be fine with shanag
Anything but Deinonychus tbh lol
Agreed
These three are good candidates and aren't given much media attention
I don't think gliders would really work
In a gameplay aspect
If they have fast tree mobility nothing can really stop them
And the gameplay would be boring af tbh
Well theyre pretty fragile so they could get their asses beat during a hunt
By what
They'd probably be extra susceptible to fractures
ig
But still what
Would make the gameplay exciting
Is it just going to be gliding as the only fun thing to do
You get an occasional hunt and glide
And thats just the entire gameplay?
What's exciting about rex? You walk around and sometimes beat up a trike or para. And that's just the entire gameplay?
The highly mobile and fast paced ambush hunter lifestyle isn't any less fun than playing as a carno or something it's all up to the personal preference of the player
Well I mean
Theres a difference between
Walking around the map and hunting as a large carnivore, And sitting in a tree as a small glider
Somebody might look at anky and think āugh that's so boring you just walk around and eat grass and can't even runā but there's people who want that. There are large forests on Spiro and what ever other maps come, a glider can move quickly through the canopy and can risk traveling out in the open, Shanag has good running legs to escape most predators.
Deino just sits in the swamp waiting for things to drink but it's still coming, that's way less active
You can be very active as a glider, it is very mobile and has a skill based ambush.

Unlocking finishers is a terrible idea, not because it wouldnāt work, but because every time a game does it they become a flaunt to other players, a sigh that ālol Iām better than you because I have this and you donātā. Unlocking things should only be for colors and skins.
@fervent fable that would require different kill/death animations for all the 50 or more creatures we will have
Not for each playable
For each killer-killed pair
The Rex kills trike finished cant be the same as the Rex kills giga finisher
I donāt mind death/ kill animations, but I donāt agree with unlocking them, too many games do it, and theyāre not worth unlocking the majority of the time.
And most of the times the default is the best
So, why unlock more if you already have the best one
so I removed the unlocking finishers
Itās also a case of, youāre now encouraging people to kill so they can use their new flashy animations
2-3 per dino pair would be good
You donāt want to only 1 for each because then it gets old, but you donāt want too many either
ok edited the suggestion
But i think 1 per Dino pair is already an absurdly high number of them
Is not that i dont like the idea but i dont think its realistically posible
Now, time to pay dondi 1k to add the spino neck snap
It is, it would just take a long fucking time if they wait till everythingās done then do it
Even though, there are more important things to do once everything is done than adding kill animations (as cool as they can be)
And wouldn't it be much smoother and immersive for them to just play when you kill your target with the appropriate attack rather than having to press another button ?
Guess it just works better with action single player games
@paper oriole yesssss I rlly want a glider, especially one that isnāt a literal piece of paper
@willow zealot I would love that color pattern for something else, maybe not tenonto (my personal opinion). Maybe they could do it for something like Maia
Ooo maia would be good
or
if for some reason ouranosaurus gets added (the thing that was in the picture), then it would be great on that
but otherwise
maia would be great with that color
I really do hope they have custom patterns in the future.
well noice
because irl rex didn't need to ambush because it could kill a trike 90% of the time (if anything more), but that is unbalanced so what do you propose rexes niche be? im all ears.
btw this goes for everyone who want to propose a rex niche, because it seems not many people like an ambush hunter rex
Maybe if it was a small trike but I don't think that rex irl could kill a adult trike 90% of the time
That just doesn't sound realistic to me
Bro if you think a Rex had a 90% success rate going after trikes youāre insane. Trikes evolved specifically to hold their own against trex. It would be much more in favor of the trike, just like with a lot of predator hunts today. No LARGE land predator alive or dead has a 90% success rate that Iām aware of
i meant like when one gets killed , nearly every time its the trike, the trike can only try and make it run away which i don't think the isle is going to be balanced towards
they have plenty of evidence of rexes killing trikes, but only a little bit of trikes actually managing to kill rexes
Are you referring to fights in-game?
i am refering to real life, when a rex and a trike fight most of the time the rex gives up, when one of the two die though most of the time its the trike
in the game a trike should beat a rex 60% of the time (this is a fight with no rocks, no trees, and perfectly flat ground)
maybe even more
Yeah, because the trike isnāt trying to kill the Rex, just get the Rex to back off and leave
A good predator doesnāt get killed during the hunt. They leave and try again
Not to mention unless they were cancellable your entirely able to be attacked while in the animation
And things like rexes would have to be able to immediatly have an animation on dryo
anyway, my original qustion was if anyone wanted to propose a niche for rex
other than the ambush hunter niche, because it seems that alot of people don't like that
Rex is too largely powerful of a hunter to really have a fair comparison to aything that would be around today
i mean a niche for the game
True
The grass is fine, but camera angles on some dinos could use a fix
Tall grass is really helpful for small tiers to be viable of they dont have a shote cam angle
@night sand if you canāt see you have to be purposely positioning ur camera a bad way, I will literally post multiple vids as the current biggest Dino in game traveling through the jungle fine
no duh the biggest dino can see, its taller. For stuff smaller like a tenonto or sub stego, jungles are hell to do anything with because you cant see, at all.
the only camera that needs to be changed is hypsi because you cant spit in the grass, also increasing the amount you could zoom out with hypsi would help in the plains but it isnt completely needed
then request better camera positions
if the height is the prob the why would it be jungle density
btw, if anything jungles are only getting denser, we have seen how well a rex can hide in isla spero jungles, sprio jungles are just forests with a little shrubbery
imma try out teno in jungle tn and see if it even a prob
Weve already seen rex on spero jungles before
@night sand fresh baby teno walking in the jungle not once was I ever in a situation where i could not see at all... in fact I was mostly able to see my vicinity. anything bigger then me would most likely been easily spotted without it seeing me due to my smaller advantage. In the jungle there is piles of brush that would probably block my view but each time there was a way around it that was less dense, all i had to do was walk around...
and if i did find my self in a dense part me utilizing camera zooms helped and i genuinely dont understand how you find yourself in situations where you cant see
what you really want is legacy forests where you can usually look through one side and see out through the other, a forest with practically no flora š
@zealous violet its interesting but if im a mia and one of my eggs hatch and its like some baby carno or some other carni or a herb i simply dont want nothing is gunna stop me from killing it along with most players probs
id suggest adding more details or features to make it viable
@willow zealot late comment but I think Maia or Magy could do real well with zebra skins
Or zebra skins could be a customization option for the update 8
It might be rude to say but if you are deaf, survival horror games ( or multiplayer survivals in general) aren't for you. And that's because other people who are not deaf can exploit this game function to have advantages over others.
What I want, is more open jungles where people can actually see. What Iāve said has been asked many times, over and over. As the jungles currently are way to dense, and not many people actually go in them. And legacy forests had vegetation, bushes, ferns, trees. I think we all know how well a small animal fit under the pines.
Plus, Iām pretty sure both you and I noticed that it was pretty darn dark. It should be a lot lighter as many others have said. We need more jungles like this https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/423939730544132096/824474900139868220/image0-21.png
