maybe as ambient AI at most
Tupandactylus or europejara would make a good herbi flyer
Bordering on the ‘too small’ side
I thought tupa was like ptera sized
ye tupa is big enough
I want tupa, dope omnivore/frugivore hyper-mobile forest flyer boy
fruit boy
Yes give us the fruit boy
Ngl imma be disappointed if the last flyer is another carni, they get everything
Wont be surprised tho
oh god not carni bias
They already get quetz and ptera it would honestly be a waste
we need something small in the water
Beipi
other than beipi
minmi
Nothosaurus 
A lot of people want him as a marine animal, dont think hes too close to deino at all personally
we have a big pred we have duck, we need prey and medium and small pred
He is smaller and would hunt differently, deino ambushes, grapples and drowns terrestrials which notho would be very unlikely to do
notho could be a good medium pred
We don't need more aquatic things
He's only like 25 feet long
We really don't
When it gets to the coast we should
We can hardly fit the ones we already have
More freshwater shit isnt necessary obviously but it would be boring as fuck to see all the same things inland and on the coast
We already got more than enough for water
Thats like, your opinion, man
spinosaurs dont really count
if it isnt enforced like with deino they will prob play as a land dino only using water for travel
It's still Beipi, Minmi, Austro, (Cherry), Sucho, Bary and Deino left
bary and sucho are spinosaurs
Bary especially is very terrestrially built for a spinosaur
beipi minmi and austro are mainly land and use water for food/escape only
I am not saying they won't have their niches
And isle spino was changed beyond the point of even being a spino, it looks as terrestrial as a giga
just saying i think it would be cool to see some other stuff
Sucho is prolly a wader instead of swimmer and you could make austro for coastal
Aight, that's your opinion then.
In my eyes there is no need for more
We can just agree to disagree, i think it would be boring as hell to go from the river with beipis and deinos to the beach with beipis and deinos
miragaia i once made a feedback for a semi-aquatic mosa but then i learned it was small
it could work as a good medium pred
yup
Hey, my friend is a weirdo lefty and
needs help with controls
anyone have a left handed control scheme for evirma?
might have better luck asking in #401464048610312195
@lapis tree You mean like Minmi?
They already said minmi
But they want more semi aquatic herbis like the devs arent making a bunch load of dinos atm
Some of the old old ones that are floating around could fit the bill pretty easily.
Don't need anything new for it.
they should just make plateo semiaquatic to do herbis a favour 
plateopus shall reign supreme
Precisely my initial pointer when someone asks which I would push that way.
i just cant wait for evrima to be fully released
Same
the art channel rules really are a mess. isle related characters like anky prime and dilodog get deleted but a random ass yutyrannus or some other unrelated thing gets to stay
not to mention the inconsistency of things that have gotten deleted because they had skins that weren't in game, but an obvious jurassic park trike or some other dinosaur from a different franchise gets to stay
The fact that paleoart is allowed in there should give enough evidence of how much of a mess that channel has turned into over the years
Can I just go there and post a Smilodon?
It's paleoart so it should be allowed
What's the point of the channel being named specifically "Fan-art" if people can just post stuff that isn't related to the game in any way?
exactly, especially since moderation there is so inconsistent to begin with
an isle OC or isle mutation meme, as cringe as they can be, has just as much right to be in there as a dino that isn't even the in game
if they want to keep those out, they should keep it all out
i'd prefer for the channel description to just say something along the lines of "art must be isle-related in some way. If you're posting a dinosaur that isn't in the game or confirmed to come to the game, it must be connected to the isle in some way (dossier, isle dinos in the background, etc)
yeah isle dossier inspirations for dinosaurs people would like to see in the game should be allowed, not a random yutyrannus sketch because "i like yutyrannus it is a dinosaur guys"
^
are mosasaurs aquatic dinosaurs?
ohh
OCs should be treated the same way as Offtopic stuff imo
I'm sorry but that type of stuff clogs the channel with Neon Green Uwutahs that drown out any sign of actually decent artwork
considering we have deinosuchus, megalania and pteranodon who are also not truly dinosaurs
there are some good OC drawings that don't look like they belong in some cringy deviantart fanfic story, neon raptors and anthros and the like shouldn't be allowed
if mosa's confirmed (idr if it is or not) then i dont mind it personally. I think back in the day a small river mosa was confirmed but its prob scrapped now
not sure how i feel about not allowing OCs in general, since a great many of them are isle related
Hm fair point
but i wouldnt mind not seeing anime-eyed neon-colored uwutahs lol
a lot of them are isle related and not absurd designs, it should just have a clear boundary
The "fuck me" eyed ones are just annoying
^
no anthro, no weird wolf dino OCs (yep those have been posted), no neon rainbow dinos
i hate the ones that have suggestive facial expressions, saliva dripping everywhere, etc. It feels so nsfw lol
Characterization for an animal should be fine as long as it isn't some Deviantart borderline fetish art
and big meaty jowls
i've also seen things removed from fanart for "not looking like the animal" because they had different skins or were even based on old isle models, but then an austro with a snout shorter than a utah's gets to stay?
Also mosa was basically in some concept art at one point
But that was a while back
Before the Recode
ye
i also hate the spammy stick-figure dino posts that all think they're the funniest thing in the whole universe
as if it hasnt been done 1000 times
on occasion they can be funny but then people just start spamming them and it gets stale fast
i feel like theyre there mostly because isle memes is dead
but i guess part of the joke is that theyre in a serious channel
yeah theyre basically shitposts
which should be allowed to an extent if they are isle related but only if they have actual effort put into them otherwise they end up being spammed by peope scribbling a 2 minute stick carno
It's verging on insulting when someone puts hours into making a piece of fanart to show, and then immediately getting drowned out by 2 minute doodles
or when somebody's isle related piece they put considerable effort into isn't isle enough but then a yutyrannus sketch is allowed
mhmm
There was also someone that photoshopped some JW renders on the new map photos and threw it on Fan-art, like, how is that funny?
Jokes need to be funny... right?
is that still there? because if so that's a yikes
Like cool, why bother putting in effort when that's allowed
fan-art is in dark times indeed
Nah I called a Mod on it
It's disheartening at best
Fan-art was so much fun back then
I don't mind seeing doodles in the doodle chat, as long as they are isle related. There are a lot of kids who play this game and they should be allowed to participate. If your art is exceptional, make a blog and just send your link every once in awhile. Discord isn't the best format for art showcases, really - especially if it is limited to only one text channel.
is the traced path of titans spino and struthio still in there?
no these are people making scribbles as a joke, not kids
I remember making a Strain concept along with some folks in here
Now days is just sad to see what has become of it
they often have some 'humerous' description like "i spent 50 hours on this"
If you call kids dumb your insulting your past self so
Who said "dumb"?
true
Idk just saying tho
That's a problem for past self me 
some people are using kids as an "excuse"
How do you mean?
imagine spending 6 hours making an isle related piece that gets deleted because a mod doesn't like the skin pattern, but then a joke piece you can barely even see gets to stay lol
What does the mods preferences have to do with anything?
inconsistency
Tf is that? Arlo from a good dinosaur? Lol
Now im terrible at drawing but cmon is this what art teachers feel like when they see something like this
@hallow vigil In my experience having these limitations just causes a lot of needless headache, so long as they're posting dinosaur art I don't see an issue. I feel like it's better to highlight the good isle related fan art by maybe having a showcase channel of sorts for art that a lot of people really enjoy, but for the public art channel it creates a bit too much restrictiveness and even drama. People want their favorite dinosaurs to be added to the game and sometimes that can only be expressed through their art.
Its "isle" fan art
a lot of the headache could be avoided by just having less vague and generic restrictions
dino art is cool and all but this isnt google images
i'd say they should just bring back offtopic art but it was basically sfw furaffinity when they had that channel up
And I wouldn't say the fan art channel is anything like google images. It has a variety of art in it.

hey it's true tho
Yeah that goes for pretty much any isle server with an art channel in all fairness
How is this related to isle and how is this art
Offtopic art was a nightmare for both the Mods and the sane people of this discord
I like seeing people's personal dino art, it adds to the channel.
@golden beacon 3D art is just as much art as 2D
Yeah, but.. it's not an Isle creature
dino art is cool to see but when i open The Isle Fan Art, thats all i expect lol
But
It's unrelated
That's the point, why call it Fan-art at this point?
rather than dinos in general
also speaking of changing up a channel's rules, it would be cool if the community channel didnt have a few certain servers posting like 50 advertisements drowning out everyone else, they should have to delete their old advert before posting a new one imo. but that would probably be annoying to moderate
Ok its art nvm XD
It's frustrating that he posts it over and over but it's still art
there are actually servers in there that have copypasted their advert dozens of times
Fan art is art of the subject the fans are a fan of, not any art that a fan of the game did.
modeling is art, i guess they could change the description and call it juvie pachy since pachy's juvie is dracorex in order to make it isle related lol
If anything I would be happy with a no WIP policy more than removing all but isle dinos.
but there is a shitload of offtpic shit that has been posted in there
^
ok yeah the WIP posts are annoying as fuck
Just because there's a rule doesn't mean it must be strictly enforced. If I drive 3 miles to the gas station without my license on me, the cop isn't going to get whipped for not finding out that I did it.
And you can create rules just to catch the obnoxious people.
especially when its like "i added 4 lines i better post my progress"
tbf i didnt say to only allow isle dinos, just to allow isle dinos and anything that is loosely related to the isle
but that creates those stupid debates where people argue that it's isle related
isle inspired is different than just slapping some random yutyrannus sketch in there. like making a dossier or drawing an unrelated dino alongside an isle dino, or making a strain
just leave it up to the mods, theyre judgement is trusted for a reason
its pretty obvious when something is unrelated sometimes
^
Better than having stuff that isn't Isle related in a Isle Fan-art channel
people should be able to appeal in mod DMs maybe or in the fanart discussion channel if need be, but there shouldn't be random unrelated shit in the fana rt channel when it is better suited for offtopic
^
When I posted my carchara a while back I posted it thinking it would be cool to have in the isle and sorta had that in mind but it can't really be argued that it's isle fan art because it's a none isle related dino. I like being able to post my dino
some people might say it not isle related
but I had intentions for it to be
you could post it in offtopic still. I know thats not an art channel, but this isnt really an art discord to begin with. We dont need to cater to everything
Here we have a torvosaurus tripping on a minecraft block dying and the end really good isle art guys
lol
my anky prime got wiped from fanart shortly before the yuturannus got to stay 😦
CURSED
lmfao
he is glorious bro
Put it back
you know what, i will
Damn boi... DAMN BOI HE THICK BOII THATS A THICK ASS BOIIII
Isle inspired designs should be fine
But completely unrelated stuff can go to the void
But than it comes down to who can reason the best that their art is isle related
Is there something wrong with that?
^
Like, I've seen people straight up post JWE's Chasmosaurus in there
It's unrelated to TI
So it doesn't belong in the TI art channel
Simple as
i saw a JP trike in there a few days ago, like it looked so closely referenced it was obviously from JP
personally I wouldn't appreciate having to justify why I posted my art that I considered to be isle related. I just want certain dinos in game that arent and want to draw them how I would want them depicted in game
i guess they could argue it should be allowed because trike is in the isle but it had the JP beak skin sleeve thing, cmon adding that was a conscious decision they coulda just kept it off and it would be isle enough lol
Cool. Just include elements from the game in the background. Or the foreground. Or a "Isle Fanart" label.
There are creative solutions to this problem.
The Æ symbol could work too
I think it's easier to just allow dinon related stuff
making a dossier for the animal is another way to make it isle worthy
Sure, it's easier to allow rulebreaks, but we shouldn't do that obviously.
But then again
If people can just say that it's Isle related when it's obviously not
Then there's no point in calling it Fan-art
Well maybe crack down on the fact that something isn't paleo art
Personally, I also preferred the old channel rules. Yeah it was more of a pain, but it was more work that was truly "fan-art."
yeah there was someone way back who posted some random fictional mammal thing, looked like something out of pokemon and said "something cool that could be in an isle mod" that is just too far
Like if the stuff like that minecraft dino meme is annoying than just remove because the rules state isle fan art and paleo art
It's why I was often very harsh on what made it.
of which that animation was neither
And some people would try and find weird work-arounds to justify posting things that they just wanted to post.
Which was always testy.
ok so Gar, is the pain of governing it really worth it?
"Here's my feathered green Spino with huge wings, it's completely Isle related I swear"
Imo, yes.
I prefer the integrity of the channel's contents over letting it become a mess.
Aight well it doesn't bother me enough to argue against the people I had in mind when proposing it was a bad idea lol
When i was a mod, i'd sometimes not have the energy for a big debate with an artist on what was/wasnt isle-related, but in the long run i believed it was also worth it
Anky prime coming to isle 
anky prime should be elder anky model
Better than keeping the channel in it's current state, that's for sure
I thought Anky prime was more of a meme, tbh. Just another of those distorted models made for joking purpose.
it is one of the mutation memes yeah
Like that weird Dilo I presume
but to be fair, it is isle related
Dilo dog 
What was it's name?
Bob?
Seeing it once or twice was fine, but seeing it nearly spammed got annoying really quick
Ben?
aw come on but a yutyrannus is allowed that just aint right man
case in point, current rules are poopy stinky
Might have just slipped past the Mods
Ok so you're basically asking for your tyranus to be removed lol
Then its not isle or fan art its just art
yeah i am salty about the yutyrannus
I mean I don't think Yuty should be in there, either, but the consistency with the channel moderation is that we will always follow the channel rules when addressing things within.
Even when they change.
i've also seen othe rmutation memes stay in there but i dont wanna call them out
Protest for anky prime
If you never want to worry about butting heads with any of us over any sort of thing, the rules in channel decriptions and in the general #rules-and-info section line out everything beyond a few ambiguous ones that are pretty hard to get smacked for.
A lot of stuff seems to get past moderation
It's a fairly active channel in a big fucking Discord server
Stuff will slip from time to time
Mhm.
aw man anky prime got executed again
Rules are the rules. Lol
Your Anky just didn't get lucky
#isle-fan-art message
i am gonna be salty and petty about this
Justice will be served
justice for anky prime
damn the hot skin piece below that almost made me have a positive thought about utah
Minmi Prime when?
you know what, maybe i will
Be careful it's not a meme, or I will eradicate that, as well. 
Hypo minmi should be bigger than brachi 
;_;
Also look at #general-feedback feel bad for him that he doesn't know that server admins put passwords on the servers and that the rules for realism servers have nothing to do with the devs lol
can servers have passwords in evrima? i only ever look at officials lol
i've never seen a server with a required password, then again i never willingly join realism servers
i've joined realism servers to troll and KOS so i'm probably the kind of person this dude wants passwords to stop 
never seen a server with a passcode myself either though
Class why did you do that?
?
ai brachi herds scattered around would be awesome
What?
WHat is anky prime
this guy
Why... is it’s neck so long? shudder
i thought they were doing cannibal monster demons, not zombies
Yeah and pretty sure cannibals are just mutants, another byproduct of Appolo Engineering's mad scientist shenanigans
dont think a zombie filled hospital fits the kind of horror they're gonna go for
i feel like a zombie-filled hospital would be very confusing
perhaps a defect-strain filled lab would fit better
or a lab where they had been testing on the tribals/cannibals could offer better creeps than generic zombies
@sudden kelp I think rex should get the longest scent radius rather than giga
also giga should either be an ambusher or a “durability tracker” hunter, not both. remember that apexes should be filling specific niches — we dont want them running around as ridiculously op death machines like back in legacy, do we?
people in this game only want apex carnis to be somewhat playable apparently
and to dunk on literally everything else without needing any skill whatsoever
giga has no excuse to be beating an adult tenonto in a chase even with ambush either
or any other animal around tenonto's size for that matter
True
if the tenonto sees the giga at all, the giga’s fucked the hunt lmao
sees it before its within range*
i.e, 15-20 feet for an ambusher or smth
"give giga endurance predator trot while also letting it catch adult tenontos with the ambush ability from legacy that they removed for a reason"
totally bonkers
evrima is trying to make apexes more niche for a reason....
key word trying tho
deinos can win easily on land rn
i mean they didnt do a bad job with deino for the most part, it just needs some tweaks
its actual ability is done well
tru, just needs to have facetanking and spam alt biting discouraged
it needs punishment for spamming alt bite
Until another deino shows up and kills it
take away the ridiculous stam usage from stego swing and throw it on deino alt bite, bam
i actually liked the period of time where it was genuinely “oh my god how long should i drink?? should i risk it and be greedy????” better than “lol gonna fly to a shallow spot because they’re everywhere”
deino’s ambush is scary as fuck
only time ive ever believed the supposed horror aspect of the game
yeah now it's just deinos waltzing onto land because they can spam alt bite anything that goes near them
then running back into the river when shit looks tough for them
the ambush should be heavily prioritized and preferred... people need to realize that ambushers lose the instant they’re seen
theyre basically the new docktahs
yeh...
speaking of which, with the shit ass desync and attacks clipping thru the rocks, utahs main appeal of “get on rock, rock safe” isnt really used much anymore
yeah it's kinda funny the fat alligator does a better job at being a rock/docktah than actual utahs now
i know it was annoying sometimes but it created more fun fights imo
utahs are still annoying as hell but at least there's less of them biting and then hiding on a rock, hopefully they dont get the momentum tree climb to revert them back into the insufferable perch rats they used to be
lol yeah, im hoping they wont really be able to utilize trees (despite the concept art) and more that they’ll stick to rocks considering the things litter half the map
I’d rather go up a tree since carno can still get on some rocks
velo can get a momentum climb, utah doesn't need it
plus keep in mind utahs hunt best away from trees because of pounce, so... doesnt make sense to encourage them to hang out in the forest
also a 500kg animal momentum running up a tree lmao why
jumping onto a rock should be the most they get climbing wise
yeah it's enough for them, they'll also probably climb human structures again once more of that is in
yeah and also the momentum climb would screw over hypsi with his already shitty jump too
It’ll probably cost them a lot less stam than Utah when going up a tree
otherwise it takes away from the herrera’s niche...
seriously, raptors do not need to be everywhere...
still utah is already very mobile and agile, can climb rocks, can lose carnos in the forest, will be climbing human structures like crates and buildings again when they come
it doesn't need more
^^^
again the whole point of evrima is to encourage niches
utah will already be way more versatile than most dinos, even without tree climbing
True
it also leaves momentum climbing open for some unadded dinosaur to claim who would utilize it better
If the whole pounce dismount wasn’t a free hit sometimes I’d basically be the most survivable carnivore rn
not to mention super easy to grow when youre in one of the many utah megapacks
those packs replenish their numbers so damn easily
Yep and u can always juke carnos to get away in the forest
yeap
@sonic mural actually that makes a lot of sense
i like the tracking idea just not the ambush stuff
whatever we get, we don't need legacy giga back tracking all mid tiers across the map and making some animals plain uniable when they come across it
their suggestion sounds like that + being given back legacy ambush mechanic fast enough to run down things like tenonto that giga shouldnt even have on its diet preferences
@sudden kelp that's just legacy giga, and we know giga will be very different from legacy
Yep
they also said they're not bringing back the old crouch-ambush, and even if they do decide to give some dinos ambush it'll have to be reworked
@sudden kelp no we don’t need legacy giga again and any apex should not trot like they used to in legacy
i think that deino should remain the apex ambusher
Rex exists
no issue with having a terrestrial apex ambusher just... not what sorbi suggested
Endurance tracker high speed bleeder apex
Yeah
why not make quetz 1 shot mid tiers while your at it 
give rex a ranged attack where it makes a shockwave by biting and it breaks all your bones
let rex have fucking wings like in the novel, Z-Rex
no apex predator should have a fast trot speed we dont want a rerun of legacy giga
@radiant dagger thats literatly what it is but that carnis dont only eat small opertunists, they actualy hunt other dinos
Goats ?
Little monkey jungle 
Logically any wild goats on the island would go extinct due to all the huge invasive predators and herbivore competition
So no thanks to both
ah but have you considered: goat
@wintry monolith sure Hunt dinos its basically but for doing vitality at the map...The Isle i think it's a land at modern era... Some human import goat rats and cappucino monkey living there before dinos was created and other animal it's local Fauna that's right? 🙂
And carnivores diets should be other dinosaurs...
Cappucino monkeys 
mm monke
I think little monkey can survive untill herrerasaurus was implemented 😂
Rats, lizards and flying birds make sense, monkeys and goats not so much
This is quite stupid reasoning
Herrerasaurus is in The Isle. It's not just ingame yet
anyways if you're gonna suggest "modern" animals, why not suggest non-dino animals that lived at the same time as dinos? i.e, crabs, jellyfish, etc.
Unless mercs bring goats with them as livestock and they are present in bases i cant see it looking good in game
Shit it was i think
Well wolves wouldn't do anything
Ok that was an idea... Can add only lizard rats bird
Wolves are overrated and would get shredded instantly by almost the entire roster
Lizards, rats, birds, crabs, bugs
Actually they could run away since they're faster than any dino
But won't work as predators x)
No large mammals, humans are the largest mammal that should be in the isle
Wolves would spend their time running away, getting bodied when they try to scavenge and get jumped, and then starve to death all while ruining the atmosphere of the game
although id love a prehistoric mammal game like the isle (i.e, smilodons, terror birds, etc. etc.), i think it'd be kind of wack to put mammals in the game
balance-wise and aesthetic-wise
and yes i know terror birds arent mammals i just mean a different time period***
Yeah the game already has its theme, if the isle picks up more real steam it is inevitable that some ice age survival or something will pop up from another developer inspired by the success
honestly yeah, put me in the fuckin primordial soup
I wanna be a funny shrimp
i wanna be a giant water centipede
Websteroprion the deino of cambrian survival
pog
Oh wait he wasnt cambrian was he... oh well close enough
Purgatorius was a primal lived with dino its look like squirrel...can add that 😂
Yoh guys, what does the timer icon means when you react to a post ?
That means it's planned or coming later
thanks 🙂
hmm yes i sure do love being hit through a fucking rock by stegs
god dammit
i was not only on top of a rock, but above a steg
the motherfucker somehow hit me
and obviously landed a headshot
@odd sedge I'm still mixed on the topic of lemur Oro
I understand the appeal of the arboreal niche since we don't have any arboreal herbivore yet, but why should it specifically look like a lemur ? That seems like a blatant attempt at showing Oro as a modern animal which it clearly isn't. Having a prehensile tail is nice, but having a round-ended striped prehensile tail just looks like a lack of imagination and that someone just looked at lemurs and thought "Hey, I should make a dinosaur version of this" instead of someone looking at an orodromeus and thinking "Hey, this dinosaur could be adapted to live in the trees"
Because in my opinion, current Oro doesn't look like an arboreal creature at all. Historically, it was fully terrestrial and even probably a burrower. Even though it's not much of a problem to change this in The Isle, just giving it an lemur niche and skin is even worse than terrestrial spino (which is how we thought spino was for a long time at least)
Personally gonna have to disagree with the idea of Lemur Oro, it feels weird to make an arboreal animal when something like Hypsi feels alot more at home with its jump ability and the Bird of Paradise look it has going on. The point of animals like Taco already burrowing seems invalid to me, rather than wasting a huge amount of effort on completely transforming a creature, you can just work towards making the concept of burrowing more varied.
This is also true, even though I don't like arboreal hypsi a lot either. Burrowing doesn't have to be just "press a key to make a hole with a single room" like in legacy, having a more complex burrowing mechanic could lead to oro having a unique burrow instead of forcefully dragging it to a lemur niche in the trees
Any idea how dev going to fix mix pack ? Any news regarding that any system?
No
This is a fair point, I personally just like the idea of a striped tail since it also fits into the oros (current) color scheme (don't know how much the devs decide to change it), but it is not really a must have in my opinion.
The tail hanging mechanic, which is not exclusive to lemurs today, is something that I'd see as necessary however to make it different and unique compared to the Hera, because else it might as well be a slower, worse and vegan Herrera
I'm honestly not a fan of lemur oro. The hypsi design we got (literally a bird of paradise) feels much more suited to climbing. It has short legs and has poor strait line speed, almost like a squirrel in build.
I don’t care wether hypsi or oro becomes a climber, all I want is a climbing herbi that has to watch out for herras
Yeah I definitely want a small climbing herbi to act as herrea pray.
I just think that hypsi is already half way there.
It is not like I couldn't see Hypsi climbing (Because the anatomy argument does not really count with Oro and Hypsi being fairly similar)
And I can also see Oro as a burrower or semi aquatic animal.
My point is, that those niches are already nicely endowed and the arboreal niche seems so sparse.
And with Hypsi already being unique in its own way, I'd just prefer putting Oro into the trees
I'd argue for oro burrowing as it potentially did irl.
But i'm already annoyed that burrowing has been copied and pasted onto almost every small herbi (and no carnis for some reason).
ava, proto, taco, dryo, minmi, homa.
Same goes for Hypsi, since it is heavily fictionalized in the isle and probably a bottom dweller like Oro
My personal preferred list for burrowing would be: proto, oro, velo. maybe minmi in aquatic burrows.
I don't see velo burrowing. I can see it invading burrows but I'd rather see it as a glider or dry season dweller than a burrower
I want at least one burrowing carnivore.
At least as a burrow invader.
Gliding would need a lot of fictionalisation for velo. As unlike nychus, its shoulder range and limb proportions are more limiting...
But we have penguin beip so... I don't think that giving velo longer arms is that far fetched.
My ideal poor glider would be deinonychus. But that's but in game.
I mean.. they gave Hypsi feathers and not Troodon.
So we know the devs like to fictionalize in general
Personally, I'd see Deinoychus as a glider as well.
But we already have 50+ dinosaurs and adding more would feel a little icky, at least for me personally, so I stand with the opinion of using the ones we have to fill the niches
I mean potentially velo could have both the gliding mechanic, and burrow raiding stuck on. Burrowing owl...
Ohhhh I actually like that
I like that idea a lot
So torn on burrowing oro.
On one hand it prorably burrowed irl. On the other... almost everything small is being given burrowing which sucks.
So the animal which actually burrowed is being left out, while animals with no business burrowing are doing so.
I did an oro suggestion a while ago with mei. Trying to work around the limitations of wanting hypsi to be the climber, while not copy and pasting burrowing onto it.
@vivid spade in my experience utah is better, but also carno bucking specifically is very wonky
have to stand there and spam e a few times before you can start bucking a raptor, and meanwhile your dino is just standing there pondering about meaning of life
I think the argument isn't really waterproof tho.
Saying oro probably burrowed back then and then making Hypsi climb is quite a paradox, since they are essentially the same.
Not really, just really similar
The difference is, hypsi has already been fictionalised into a squirrel bird. So we're already working with an animal which has been fictionalised to look like a tree dweller.
If there were no smalls in the roster at all, and hypsi was brought in, I'd want it as a fast, ground dwelling, nocturnal, deer like animal. Like it was irl.
I just don't understand the point in making oro a climber, when the fictionalised isle hypsi already looks like an arboreal animal.
Additionally, hypsilophodon was thought to be an arboreal animal for 30 years by paleontologists. So if any are fictionalised into climbers, it should be that one.
The point is to not have Taco, Oro and Homalo basically the same animal and since Hypsi already has unique features and is somewhat viable, Oro could fill that arboreal spot in order to not be a defenseless burrower copy
Hypsi is semi arboreal right now but it wasn't intended.
You can leave it at that and make Oro fully arboreal and have them slightly rival each other in food.
In the end that would only mean more prey for Heras
Honestly if they turned oro into some tail swinging monkey with opposable thumbs like i've seen suggested, I'd want it to be given a fictional name.
I hate this 'make up an animal and glue a dino name at the top' thing.
I can draw a unicorn and write tyrannosaurus rex at the top. Doesn't make it a rex.

There are already names like novaraptor. It should have been used.
Yeah sorry just having a rant, as I arrived in the earlier days of the isle were semi realism existed.
And now there are swimming penguin theris, albertos with heads are large as their body, armadillo ankys, and things just get more and more like ark.
We had naked raptors with broken wrists from the start, the isle has never really been realistic
facts
When you look at things like the allo we have, next to the new alberto, you can tell the entire design style has changed though.
I'm guessing intentionally.
Of course the creatures are heavily fictionalized
If oro got turned into a full climber, I'd want hypsi to have longer legs like it did irl and run better.
rather than being this slow squirrel like animal with short legs.
I don't like this thing where it looks like a climbing animal, has short legs and isn't very fast.... but would end up with the ground niche.
Still legit got no idea why homa, hypsi, taco, oro are all needed. So much redundent chaff.
oro and taco were fine by themselves. They didn't need doubling.
The fact that Hypsi looks like a bird of paradise is a flaw to begin with
If oro got turned into a fully arboreal animal, I'd want it to look like a bird of paridise.
Fair enough. If Hypsi was fictionalized that way, why not make the other small ornithopod into a bird of paradise as well
I'd want one as an arboreal bird of paradise, and one as a fast roadrunner/hare styled animal.
I just dislike the 'lemur' approach. As prenhensile tails and monkey hands look so off for a dino.
I wouldn't care if it was hypsi or oro which climbed. As long as whichever climbed was based more off a climbing animal, and one was based off a ground animal.
That is not a concept for monkeys, other species have a grabby tail as well, so an arboreal “dinosaur“ could have that as well
If oro was made a climber, i'd want hypsi redone completely to look more like a ground animal. Not like a climbing bird. And given longer legs like it had irl.
I see alot of people talking about oro , oro should be an ATD (All terrain dino
) climb trees , enter burrows or build them , scale mountains , swim ,
This has never screamed 'ground animal' to me.
Why is it bad for burrowing to become a generic ability? You can just make some animals better at it than others.
No one said that we have to have complex burrowing system that all smalls are proficient in. Just that they need to be able to access the burrows.
Think of burrowing as a similar mechanic to Trample. There will be some that are of a size that simply cannot make use of the mechanic, but that doesn't mean most animals can't in some way or at some stage of life. And no one is saying that burrowing is the only special thing that animal is going to get.
I mean, imagine refusing to add an animal because "We don't need more fliers." Isn't that sort of dumb, considering there's only one, and it has a very specific playstyle and diet coming to the game? There is so much more room in our skies right now. Well, you should think of burrowing in a similar fashion.
I would be happy if up to a dozen different species had access to burrows, as long as those species shared certain characteristics in common and it made sense for them to do it. And I imagine that the list of creatures entering burrows vs. the list of creatures making burrows is not identical.
You could even restrict some species burrowing ability behind a perk, to indicate that they're not really meant to burrow, but that character did something in its life that gave it an advantage that others of its species do not have. You would have to be selective about which species got said perk, though.
That won't solve the problem of having basically every small creature burrowing while the arboreal niche is just Hera so far
2 things.
Is that really a problem to solve?
and, Pteranodon will be able to climb, or atleast hang on to some surfaces eventually. Hypsi is marketed as a climbing creature in the concept art. There are plenty of creatures that can make use of the jungle to hide. Are you using the phrase "arboreal niche" strictly to refer to climbers?
Come to think of it, is there a reason Herrerasaurus shouldn't be able to dig up burrows as a perk, like I mentioned before? Look at those claws.
The Isle
I don't think pteranodon is planned to climb. More just sit on rocks.
A climbing pterosaur would be cool though. Fruit eater maybe.
Curious about the swamp. Most of the swamp lake has this short cliff that drops you into the water when you try to take a drink, and you just fall in, unable to climb back out until you either drown, get eaten by a deino, or slowly swim across the edge of the water until you can find a spot to climb out. This cant possibly be intentional, because the heck is this trap
Yes, this is a problem to solve.
With Heras main terrain being the trees, there has to be something that it can actively hunt since waiting for creatures to pass through the forest isn't as reliable as camping the water as a Deino.
Else they will heavily cannibalize each other and still starve
Hypsi isn't a climber (currently) and there is no reason for Pteras to hang in trees when they can land on rocks
There will be plenty. The devs can put AI spawns in whatever environment they choose. You don't have to try to shoehorn players into environments that they don't want to be in.
Hard disagree with you, there.
From what we can see so far, there is close to no ai
Also the trees are lacking an ecosystem
I'm not saying that Hera shouldn't be able to also invade burrows. I hold the opinion that hatchling Heras shouldn't be able to climb, so it would work
But I also hold the opinion that hera needs a prey-predator relationship with an arboreal, climbing herbivore/omnivore, because forest gameplay is not even viable, so there is no reason for other players to be there except for running away from bigger things
Point given, that is the perfect opportunity to launch an attack as a Hera, but those circumstances are not reliable
So an arboreal climbing herbivore like Hypsi, in other words.
OK, but neither is herrerasaurus in the game right now, so these are future issues that can be solved with future mechanics.
Yes, the devs literally did. Tapwing's concept art showcases it climbing as a feature.
It being able to jump into trees was because players found it out
I’d like tapejara as an frugivore that can climb. This would give us a new unique flier and also an animal that has to enter herras main territory for food
"Forest gameplay not being viable" is going to quickly get turned on its head once diets come to the game. Creatures that feed on roots and tubers are only going to have ideal food sources in the jungle, where they can grow optimally.
It doesn’t, it just sits on a very low part of a tree
i'd prefer tupandactylus. It's like tapejara, but bigger than a sparrow.
Oh yea I got them mixed up, I meant tupan
If hypsi was meant to be a dedicated ground animal, it shouldn't have been modelled off a climbing animal, given shorter rear limbs, and made slow on the ground.
I wouldn’t complain if hypsi would be an actual arboreal animal once the climbing mechanic comes
Exactly. This is the creature that is designed to look like a specific real-world bird. Where do you find birds? You find them in trees.
This creatures design is suggestive of an arboreal lifestyle. This should be obvious - the developers are telegraphing you this information without actually coming out and saying it. Learn to read between the lines.
I want hypsi OR oro to be arboreal. But to me, hypsi is half way already.
And I don't want arboreal oro, and a hypsi which looks arboreal but isn't.
If oro got turned into a climber and hypsi a runner, I'd want hypsi to look and act like a runner.
Herra tupan and hypsi for a tree ecosystem when ?
I would prefer Hypsi to not be a roadrunner, but a...
woadrunner. 🌳 🌳 🌳 🐦 🌳
Bird of paridise oro, and roadrunner/pheasant hypsi would have been fine imo.
But we've got bird of paridise hypsi.
So i'd rather have roadrunner/hare/pheasant oro.
about to do a suggestion for ... distorted vision when you eat wrong shrooms
but they dont debuff you, they only makes you "high", changing some colors of your vision, "world spinning" etc
idk, maybe they can give vomiting, I have no idea
For more fun, I think it would be funny to get high and maybe see a dinosaur walking in a very derpy way
Im gonna do some drawings too
Any opinions?
Sounds neat
thank you
The concept art shows it in a tree if I remember correctly
As far as I remember it was a low hanging branch.
And from what I know, the devs did not intend Hypsi to actually climb, players just found out how to jump into trees.
I mean the concept art for the Utah shows how it's jumping up a tree, yet that isn't in the game either so I wouldn't put my hand into the fire and say that everything shown in the concept art is coming into the game
Well Utahs scrambling up a tree will be a thing
Apparently climbing will not be a you have it or you don‘t kind of thing but more a skill many things can access but how good they are at it depends on the species and age
@tender latch yes!
climbing, fruit eating tupan is cool!
one thing i would change personally is swap out the "steady flight" mode for a hovering mode, giving it even more maneuverability at the cost of being way slower
also the barrel roll is a bit much
the devs plan to make utah able to scramble up trees as an escape option like in the concept
id love a herbi flyer :)
rn all the cool shit is reserved for carnis it seems
i also agree that “steady mode” should be replaced with a hover tho
makes more sense and would help differentiate it from the ptera
I agree. Mostly due to the huge sail its crest is, would make near impossible. I would argue that it could give it a steadier flight
Why tf does someone want dinos burping this aint a cartoon
Do birds and reptiles even do that
So no reason to add it 
Fridges are overrated
Like I don't get door-in-a-door compartments, and I don't think I ever will. These compartments are essentially just an extra door on the front of the fridge that opens up to reveal the in-door shelves, and companies pitch them as a convenient way to quickly access things like drinks and condiments. But ultimately, you're still just opening a door and grabbing what you want -- same as it ever was.
In fact, there's a good argument to be made that door-in-a-door compartments make things less convenient. Just look at the approach LG takes with most of its "Door-in-Door" fridges. There's a plastic barrier on the inside of the shelves designed to help keep the cold in when you open the front panel, but it makes it difficult or even impossible to access the groceries on those in-door shelves the old-fashioned way -- from the inside. Plus, it's flimsy as hell.
what
They just overrated.
but what does this have to do with the isle 
Hold up what


It’s gone
If humans get added then they gonna have to store food somewhere duh

😐

Well i just want the old main menu music that was really good
wow that map is awesome
Ptera carrier pigeons 

Are they going to get rid of legacy once evirma is complete?
I dont think they've fully come to a cunclussion yet, or if they have, they havent said what the verdict is. at least, from what i know.
Yes. When Evrima is in a good enough state with performance and content legacy will be shut down.
i imagine once modding support is in, some people may try to bring back legacy with mods
...maybe
why the hell would you want to bring back legacy?
like I get maybe bringing back some things from legacy, like maps I guess, but why the hell would you want that horrible build to return?
also legacy was always intended to be deleted after evrima was complete enough
diehard docktahs that cant accept change probably
legacy is pretty trash, yeah, but a lot of people have memories from it and it was the primary version of the game for the first 5ish years of development
just saying that people may try to bring it back via mods once it gets deleted
it'd be cool too see if they could take the v3 map and revamp it! unsure if they every intend to add more maps, but i think that'd be pretty neat haha
Cuz it’s balanced 
they probably do, there is spero and spiro which are confirmed. a good chance thenyaw is getting a remake. and there is a good chance for a few more maps
wait wait wait -- spero? i thought it was just a typo for spiro? the more u know, ig lmao
this is spero, spiro, and region two for reference
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
spero is the map that was supposed to be on evrimas launch but the engine couldn't handle the full size so we got a rushed version of spiro
spero is also the map that the hope trailer takes place on
so wait how big is region 2 to v3? abt half?
Wait, wasn’t hope on spero?
the blue square is about the size of v3, however that includes all of the useless mountains and ocean so the actual playable area is smaller. but that goes for every map
yes hope was on spero
Oh I misread spiro , sorry
oh cool, thanks piggy! that helps put things into scale a lot better
What was the size of Thenyaw and v3 respectively?
v3 was 16x16 km, I forgot thenyaw
Oke 🤔
spiro is 20x20 km, and spero is 32x32 km (including ocean)
Spiro is already large enough. I don’t think we need anything larger than it.
Tbh V3 was good enough for large extensions and player interaction
legacy thenyaw is 6x6.5 km. so about the size of the current playable area of spiro
now that I think about it the region two in the picture might be a bit oversized
Regarding Thenyaw getting a remake, I’m not so sure. Although Dinosauriac was making a “new thenyaw”, but since he left the team, idk where that was left
May be
yeah I know that, but I still wouldn't be surprised of thenyaw does get a remake and I also want it too, however I hope its a temperate island since we don't need a 3rd tropical one
Same
A rework/revamp and improvement of thenyaw would be amazing. Honestly I think it was one of the best maps, but I could be biased because it’s the one I’m most familiar with
it could turn into a really beautiful redwood map like wayyyyyyyyyy back -- or could stay as a more northern canada type of borealis (I cannot for the life of me remember how to spell it) forest
Or have variety and include both in an harmonic way
Select “deinosuchus” in the menu screen
i dont see it
@static blade since your a new player your probably on the legacy branch, someone in #401464048610312195 should be able to help you
it's funny how Spiro is essentially bigger than Spero on transversable area for most animals. Just a bunch of useless salt water that won't be used by anything that isn't a fully aquatic creature, like a mosa.
if you add all 4 of spero's islands then its about the same as spiro on area, but spero will feel bigger because of the distance between islands and the gulf
the new region 2 is being worked into spiro, not its own separate map
yeah, the title is wrong, the sizes are for the most part correct which is the important thing
Before I make a feed back post I wanna ask - does crouching decrease scent tracks like it did in legacy?
Sneaking is a little more viable when things you're sneeaking up on or away from can't just track ya down
Yeah
reacting to your own suggestion moment
f
Okay I just tested it in EV it seems like it's working in that way
Just didn't wanna waste people time suggesting it if I could ask first/test (just didn't seem like it was working like that for a while)
it was pinkdog
he put both a check (thumbs up) and an x for people to use
nobody actually put an x
lmao
from the one guy who was like uhh r/boneappletea ? xD
idk why they would expect people to react with an ❌ to a bug fix suggestion
I mean for the "just in case"? It could also be one of those things that you see other people doing it so you just do it too
@charred nova about adding world war 2 remains to the island, no it doesnt really make sense to do that since you know, why would there be ww2 remains on a dinosaur island??? and im pretty sure it would never make sense in lore too
Depends on how long AE/Phoenix corps' experiments have been going on, and what utilities they may have used (planes, armoured vehicles, ships, etc)
Maybe no ww2 tanks but ruins from that era could make sense, plane crashes could work though
yes
If they were gunned down for treading too close
isle/dino d day crossover
ruins / abandoned stuff (other than buildings) would actually be kinda cool but yeah ww2 stuff seems a bit off
they shouldn't make shallow deeper, they should make the part that is shallow shorter so it doesn't take half an hour to walk through as deino
but its good to have a section of river that is dangerous for deino
legs are too close together, wider apart at the hip would prob look a bit better
also legs seem too short in the end of the video when it's running.
body is way larger than the legs
i mean that is a wip animation from over a year ago for an animal that wont come to the game for a while, but yea
final version should have more weight to it
ok and now they react to their own suggestion with a 📌
@desert tendon Ptera gets easy food so I don't think there's need for that. Ptera was a fisher dino and he, well, ate fish. Also how do you think a ptera could pluck a piece of meat in high speeds? He has a sharp beak and the last thing I want is my ptera to be wedged into a corpse
If anybody else wants to share their thoughs I'm open for discussion about this since maybe something could be worked out!
@ivory ledge a update wouldent fix that because its that smb took the slot before you
@tawny crest if you know a bit of history you would understand why i said there should be ww2 remains
nobody have said that the island was a part of he us pasific campaing or used as an restock/air base
Could of easily been invaded by the Japanese but forgotten about or possibly plane's could of crashed there
The Isle literally has nothing to do with WW2
no, only 2 island owned by the us was captured by the japanese and thos where close to alaska
plus both the us and japanese where having very big suplies issues they wouldent just leave shit there
and if they did becuase they couldnet get it out the scientist that came later would have taken them away
There's plenty of. Missing aircraft in new guinea yet it's quite populated
Yea i used the tank as a bit of a example i agree on that
and there are tribals on the island

idk how true this is but a grain of it needs to be in the video
Is there a way to get Utahs off you when they pounce as deino 🤔
Press E to buck I believe it was
ww2 remains make no sense and people think the islands may be man made aswell
Can you explain why they would be no sense
It's likely this map is based in the Pacific aswell
i doubt that devs will add ww2 remains anyway
it would be cool but would affect the isle's lore alot
you dont even know if the island is man made or not
if it was v3 then yea i could see it being man made but this? i dont think so
well still ww2 remains wouldn't just fit the isle
ww2 has litterally nothing to do with the isle
bruh apparently AE labs or whatever literally brought dinos back to life and all that hypo strain stuff too.... why would they not be able to do a bit of terraforming
lmao
exactly
anyways, some ruins / war stuff could be cool (i.e, from whatever war caused some douchebags to decide that deadly dino island was a good idea) and it seems like the hypo strains may have been developed for military purposes, but it makes no sense for those ruins to be based on ww2 specifically. remnants of a general war, especially sci-fi futuristic war, could be cool tho
The rex walking animation has the same issue as the utah running animation looking like a guy riding a bicycle. Its weighless and just doesnt look right- especially from the back which is where we will be mostly seeing it and where we currently see it now in the utah.
no one has still yet to explain why a few crashed ww 2 planes as easter eggs wouldnt be fine
could be used to show how mysterious the island is after all this time people have yet to fully explore it
Maybe things actually related to the lore would be better
Because it takes us out of the immersion of the game and not everyone has good associations with ww2 and it would be unwise to put something that specifically hurt others at one point and time and that which might still make people uncomfortable into the game deliberately when it has nothing to do with ww2.
Its a fantasy game with some aspects of realism. But you take it too far by adding specific dates and such and you turn it into something other than its current narrative.
so according to that logic you cant have any easter eggs at all
However, that being said it would be fun to see some type of crashed plane or other war related items strewn across the island. They just dont need to be from a specific war.
Not ones that make no sense
Literally no one said you can't have easter eggs.
it would make sense and i do agree feral i would like some war related items across the map however no war would really suit and feel out of pace ww2 is really the only one that could make a bit of sense i.e crashed planes
why do you want ww2 ruins? we can just have modern tanks as ruins and it wouldn't hurt the lore
Besides that, how would you define what war its from aside from hoping people will recognize say, a downed ww2 aircraft?
like that phoenix corp might've brought tanks on the island
It's a very bad idea to bring tanks in a jungle island though
Perhaps this convo should go to isle-lore-theories channel?
agreed lets continue it there
oh good point.
I gotta dip out. Later folks
modern helicopters
issue is and im pretty sure the isle is set during the 1990s to early 2000s so not really crazy modern day vehicles
black hawks
i for sure think helicopters would make sense
maybe a few crashed ones near the merc componds
and they are still as cool
and they wont hurt the lore
also the black hawk helicopter was made in like the 1970s and 1980s so it fits the time
yea i agree on that
but maybe a bit earlier helicopters may be better
like a huey
also this helicopter is the pfp of the olympus transmitter
well then yea i think so
i was just saying a crashed bomber somewhere on the map to add a bit of mystery could be nice to see but i agree on the blackhawk idea but maybe more near the human componds rather than deep in the jungle?
it would fit to see the crashed helicopters deep in the jungle since they crashed through the trees
Yep maybe more often around the deep jungle
@blissful onyx please continue with those dossiers, amazing work👌 
aw thanks! i am thinking of doing plateo next!
Go for it!!
I agree
Also there is tons of of things to hunt
It would give the stegos and deinos something to be afraid of
Rex should honestly be added last
Also I think the devs should put the less popular creatures into the spotlight, like Pachy, Maia, Troodon and Hera and what not before adding the apexes
I disagree, it would create a lot more attention around the game if the rex would be added, and again it doesnt need to be the rex, just any apex predator. Something bigger than what we are seeing currently
The thing is
they said they were going for a roster of smaller playables
and the second and third update brought some semi/apexes
which I find really weird, at this point adding or not an apex/semi doesnt matter, the small roster is already "broken"
some small heli are confirmed
I could care less about what they add at this point
As soon as they added stego it ruined what they were going for
^^bingo
Adding a rex probably isn’t a good idea anyways as a playable currently
Can never trust a word that's said as things seemingly change on a dime with these devs, I wouldn't be surprised if hypos came back 6 months down the road
i mean
There’s not much to eat rn
The only thing would be stego for a decent meal
Which would be bad
Cuz it would mean rex would need to risk its progress everytime it hunts
Teno and carno r too small for rex to give a good amount of food
If para or something of that sort was in it might work
@winter kraken Rules shouldnt be needed to make the game lean towards a more realistic state and it should be done via ingame mechanics. Pack Scent is already an example of something which demotes megapacks/mixpacks but ofc it isnt enough. Diets, nesting, perks, and elder systems will most likely aid in this endevour
But I would also like to add that mixpacking and killing with food around actually is realistic
Some species of animals work together in nature from time to time as a method to get more food. And during times of plenty prey animals do kill more than needed for meals. Nor is spawning killing nessecarily a problem as most animals (except deinosuchus and stegosaurus really) have methods to escape from things spawn killing. But that is more of an issue with those animals juvenile state balance then spawn killers (which is also something that occurs in nature)
First of all pls don’t like ur own suggestion
But also like said above
These things should be discouraged through mechanics
Not rules
@lament pecan I’ve played BoB and that stupid stress mechanics is one of the things that ruined it for me, no way in hell do I want that crap in TI
Megapacking will end when admin commands are added to manage server rules
nest incubation failing is just a waste of sitting on a nest for 10 minutes... with eggs already going to be edible by dinos like the tree-climbing herrerasaurus the risk of leaving the nest at all is too much, so it failing just wastes time for everyone
@lunar nest All playables currently have the same hunger drain, it's temporary
Devs didn't want to bother balancing a thing that will drasitcally change with the implementation of diets
fair enough i guess
I rly hope that getting out of an egg has an animation
Pls don’t make it like BoB tho
Where u have to wait like almost 10 minutes sometimes just to leave the egg lol
That is actually aids
In update 3 they changed it, now the playables food and water drain are more varied
the more "make cannibalizing bad and a punishment" suggestions i see, the more I wanna leave this server
I always kill my own
@barren zephyr play cerato then, it won’t get punished at all.
cannibalism shouldn't be punished, it just shouldn't give any positive diet effects unless you're a cerato
Sonic why did you downvote your own suggestion lmao
He put an up and downvote for people to use
Sometimes people do that on their own suggestions
Ahh that makes more sense, though they could've just said please up or downvote 🤔
@spiral ravine I know this just adds to your argument more, but 6 ton rex is tiny as fuck, accurate rexes can reach 10 tons and ours is probably somewhere between 8-9
@desert tendon u're not moving at "high speeds" when skimming as a pteranodon
skimming is the second slowest form of flying
@hybrid oar game does not need more dinos rn, it needs more mechanics and it needs to get fixed
@vestal rune if you say so
ye, most of the balance issues come from performance issues/bugs and missing mechanics
@vestal rune more mechanics yes but you need more playable dinos to keep players engaged
right and the mechanics we are talking about are what?
no, more dinosaurs doesn't equal more engagement, it just adds more variety
well for example, collisions, deino fights are clownshoes rn because its collision is awful
weird i fought as a deino had no issues and as a carno against deinos no issue they should be able to step over them
agreed
and more variety isnt necessarily a good thing
welp the player base is already shrinking again
well with the low variety we have rn more variety would be nice, but it's more variety of bad gameplay
and the people i talk to say its because its the same dinos im not talking rexes here but when half the server is a deino lol
playerbase is shrinking because evrima is literally broken
like i said
"necessarily"
@vestal rune what game are you playing i havent had any problems with it yes like logs a full grown carno should be able to step over them
you can run through deinos body, and when deinos fight each other they literally merge
this applies to, albiet at a less extreme degree, all the other dinos
this is how i lost my first fully grown deino
i became one with my opponent and my friends didnt kno who was who
coding limitations only allow for so much collision hitboxes are something tricky its not just a one and done thing but it also has nothing to do with adding more dinos
what you said is EXACTLY why they need to focus on collision
also yes it has everything to do with adding more dinos, because of programmers are focusing on adding dinos, they're not adding mechanics
rofl focus on collision? thats something that can be knocked out in a weekend
ok u're trolling
if it could be knocked out in a weekend it would have been done already
i mean a weekend for the collison box on the deino not the entire game
as a person who understands how ppl normally would speak english, u englished wrong
nah doesn't work like that, they have to redo the collision system as a whole
like problem isn't deino collision specifically, it's collision in general, it's just that deino's collision is the most extreme
weird there must be something i am not seeing after playing a lot of hours ill keep looking at it but it feels pretty descent to me minus the log that a full grown carno cant step over
walk into another deino as deino, you'll see the issue
i have
also that's only one issue, another one is that carno is OP rn because of desync
i had a fun full speed carno fight today i mean the rubber banding yes but as a player i cant determine if thats code or the actual server causing that
regardless though all stuff that can be fixed a long with adding a few more dinos so people keep playing 🙂 dont rush them but dont take years adding them either
no dino has taken years to add
evrima hasnt even been out for a full year wtf?
by years you mean 2 years? not even that
and most of the time developing evrima was literally the barest of code-bases
they weren't working on dinosaurs for that time, they were literally building the game from the ground up
the bare minimum for the plural "years"
2 years from a game standpoint i would have rather them made a new game and paid for it again
ye but years makes it sound like we've been waiting since like 2017 for it lmao
they literally made a new game?
that's what evrima is
THEY MADE A NEW GAME AND U GOT IT FOR FREE LMFAOOOO
u wanna pay for evrima when u can just get it for free?
also 2 years is really short in game development time
especially for an indie team like the isle
2 years for whats here thats loonnngggggggggggg
no it isn't
it's exactly what's expected from a small dev team creating a game that's like nothing on the market
you know triple A studios sometimes take like 9 years to make a game right?
spore moment
was thinking of tf2 lmao, but ye
spore is similar in some ways because it's also a completely new type of game
spore started development in 2000 and came out in 2009
just because something is different doesnt mean it takes a long time to code lol
yes it does, because you don't have existing code to work off of
how many lines do you think the eat and drink code are im going to guess less than 100
you have to create everything completely from scratch, whereas if you're making a more common game, like an FPS, you can import a lot of stuff and have previous experience in it
like the isle's movement and combat systems are completely unique
click for action is unique?
what?
he means the interaction goal
I mean you, not NvX

also even if the isle was a more common game, it's still made by an indie dev team which always takes a long time to make their games
it takes 20 lines of code to create an ai to guess how old a person will be in 100 years dumbass
20 lines
TWENTY
the isle in general is a really ambitious game, it may not even reach its full potential
I doubt it will, ngl
and its not like the code is easy to write (let alone how many lines u have)
But it'll try it's best to get as close
also ye I've coded shit in python, even simple things can take a while and a lot of lines
Python brings me so many memories of searching where I fucked up the code...
lmao ye
great lord no offense but that was dumb rofl
oh my god im getting ptsd
i could think of multiple ways to write your 100 year code what language #1?
so thats kinda stupid lol
have u ever in ur life tried to code
i do everyday mainly php and sql stuff anymore
you ever made a game?
beat me to it
i did a lot of muds back in the 80s and 90s
Send applications to the punch then? I'm not very knowledgeable in the area, but if you think you can help improve the game, it would be great to have more people, because we do need more coders for the game to have a faster pace in implementing stuff
(I'm not joking btw)
nah I don't think NvX has experience in this type of game
what do you mean with mud?
I mean, if he says he's got the skills, the devs can judge their portfolio
so DnD?
ye MUDs are text-based
pretty much yeah
I'm not sure that's very comparable to the isle tho
isnt DnD mostly scripted (as in dungeons, not decisions)
but anyways, 2 years is short in game development times and what they've given us is perfectly expected
it may not seem like much, but you have to keep in mind all the work that goes into the simplest of things
google one and play it youll see it pretty fast
just recommending
u mean a MUD orrrrr?
a mud they are kinda fun
no shit
if its like DnD then its probably gonna be fun
I agree that it's expected and normal/ok for the time. I mean, many assests were remade, more animations, etc. The issue is people thinking it's just legacy but improve. So most don't realise it's a new game they got for free, by ditching legacy to gather dust eventually. And we can't have a "complete" game built on top of legacy
imagine how much space that would take up
i'd have to delete tons of files
im just saying i dont want to see the game die and right now the only dinos we have for the client server we have now its good enough to add a few more spaced out for balance reasons within a more realistic time frame to give players more to do
but dont space them out 2 months at a time some of the data from legacy has to still be relevant
no, adding more dinos won't give players more to do
also none of legacy's code is relevant anymore
no it isn't
it won't die, I do not think so at least. But it is a sad truth that development has been slow
it really isnt
it's completely scrapped
the only things that have been ported from legacy are some models, some animations, and some sounds
0 code
rofl if you dont think ctrl+c ctrl+v happened for initial damage numbers your on something
evrima and legacy are COMPLETELY separate, porting code from legacy would take way too much time and effort and would ruin the whole point of remaking the game in the first place
initial damage numbers?
i see you dont have experience with initial evrima balance, then
because even on release utah had completely different stats
you know evrima uses a completely different damage system than legacy right?
And those files are from other programs (being 3dsmax, zbrush or whatever else there is). So not Legacy unreal code
plus stats aren't code
models is a different battle
That's not code, but parameters tho
but saying the eat and drink stuff is different 100% there is only so many ways to write it be realistic
it is
ok
the eat and drink stuff is different 100%
nothing from legacy, code wise, was reused
and you can't copy and paste code from legacy into evrima because evrima works differently
reusing old code would be worse than writing new and usable code
anyway back to the orig topic
Like you say, there are only so many ways to write it. But it depends on how they're building the pathways for code to work balanced through the other interactions
Could be different completely or same from legacy for all we know
new creatures are fun
mechanics are necessary
Yes
mechanics will be good
I wonder how fractures will be applied and their effect
well, more dinos just add more variety in playing the game, but if the game itself is shit, then that variety is more ways of playing a shit game. The game rn is shit, and that can only be fixed with mechanics
What worries me the most is diet because I'm not so sure how they'll make it
i dont think the game is shit at all
punch mentioned fractures are locational which i bet will be fun
it is
i have been having a blast with it
oh ye you can absolutely have fun with it, but the game is shit
how is it shit?
it has majour technical and gameplay issues
it can be fun to play, but that doesnt mean its not shit
take legacy for example
playing legacy is like watching a bad movie with friends imo
pretty fun but painful
i mean you have unrealistic model expectations, you want the models to collide in a way that would take so much cpu to process you wouldnt have a playable game so you have to pick the lesser of two evils
blame tech for that it can be fixed to be more descent but there is no way to do some of what i think you are suggesting
if thats shit blame tech
bro collision is actually a small issue in the grand scheme of things
no
it was just an example
collision is not a small thing
one of the biggest issues rn is desync, the server doesn't register where you are properly, so you can get hit from meters away
thats one of the bigger things to code
I meant it's affect on gameplay
and cpu will only allow for so much before it just flips the hell out and not to mention syncing with a server
desync like i said that could be total 100% server i dont know i cant tell it seems server because the way the rubberband loops
nah this is a general gameplay issue
so be smart and play with shit graphics on a $2,000 computer 
it's been an issue since the beggining of evrima and is present on every server
Just becuz u have fun with something doesn’t mean it’s good
Sounds weird but it’s true
ye that is true
the game is in a good place honestly i didnt think it could be this good
the isle is a perfect example
