He's not tapejara levels of puny but still on the small side

vestal rune
#

maybe as ambient AI at most

paper oriole
#

Tupandactylus or europejara would make a good herbi flyer

#

Bordering on the ‘too small’ side

vestal rune
#

I thought tupa was like ptera sized

paper oriole
#

He is

vestal rune
#

ye tupa is big enough

#

I want tupa, dope omnivore/frugivore hyper-mobile forest flyer boy

hoary dawn
#

fruit boy

paper oriole
#

Yes give us the fruit boy

#

Ngl imma be disappointed if the last flyer is another carni, they get everything

#

Wont be surprised tho

vestal rune
#

oh god not carni bias

paper oriole
#

They already get quetz and ptera it would honestly be a waste

novel turtle
#

we need something small in the water

paper oriole
#

Beipi

novel turtle
#

other than beipi

minmi

novel turtle
#

you know what i mean

#

was going to say a small monitor but megalania is a thing

paper oriole
#

Nothosaurus TI_Troll

novel turtle
#

ooh

#

but too much like croc

paper oriole
#

A lot of people want him as a marine animal, dont think hes too close to deino at all personally

novel turtle
#

we have a big pred we have duck, we need prey and medium and small pred

paper oriole
#

He is smaller and would hunt differently, deino ambushes, grapples and drowns terrestrials which notho would be very unlikely to do

novel turtle
#

notho could be a good medium pred

odd sedge
#

We don't need more aquatic things

paper oriole
#

He's only like 25 feet long

odd sedge
#

We really don't

paper oriole
#

When it gets to the coast we should

odd sedge
#

We can hardly fit the ones we already have

paper oriole
#

More freshwater shit isnt necessary obviously but it would be boring as fuck to see all the same things inland and on the coast

novel turtle
#

ik we talking about later on

#

but we need some variety in the depths

odd sedge
#

We already got more than enough for water

paper oriole
#

Thats like, your opinion, man

novel turtle
#

spinosaurs dont really count

#

if it isnt enforced like with deino they will prob play as a land dino only using water for travel

odd sedge
novel turtle
#

bary and sucho are spinosaurs

paper oriole
#

Bary especially is very terrestrially built for a spinosaur

novel turtle
#

beipi minmi and austro are mainly land and use water for food/escape only

odd sedge
#

I am not saying they won't have their niches

paper oriole
#

And isle spino was changed beyond the point of even being a spino, it looks as terrestrial as a giga

novel turtle
#

just saying i think it would be cool to see some other stuff

odd sedge
#

Sucho is prolly a wader instead of swimmer and you could make austro for coastal

odd sedge
paper oriole
#

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

novel turtle
#

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

paper oriole
#

This?

novel turtle
#

yup

onyx siren
#

Hey, my friend is a weirdo lefty and

#

needs help with controls

#

anyone have a left handed control scheme for evirma?

icy lion
feral wedge
#

@lapis tree You mean like Minmi?

golden beacon
#

They already said minmi

#

But they want more semi aquatic herbis like the devs arent making a bunch load of dinos atm

feral wedge
#

Some of the old old ones that are floating around could fit the bill pretty easily.

#

Don't need anything new for it.

paper oriole
#

they should just make plateo semiaquatic to do herbis a favour TI_Troll

golden beacon
#

I wanna play Plateo

#

I want new unique dinos so bad

paper oriole
#

plateopus shall reign supreme

feral wedge
golden beacon
#

i just cant wait for evrima to be fully released

paper oriole
#

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

pliant ember
#

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?

paper oriole
#

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

hallow vigil
#

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)

paper oriole
#

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"

hallow vigil
#

^

silk heath
#

are mosasaurs aquatic dinosaurs?

paper oriole
#

they are aquatic reptiles

#

not dinosaurs

#

close enough

silk heath
#

ohh

pliant ember
#

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

paper oriole
#

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

hallow vigil
#

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

hallow vigil
#

but i wouldnt mind not seeing anime-eyed neon-colored uwutahs lol

paper oriole
#

a lot of them are isle related and not absurd designs, it should just have a clear boundary

pliant ember
#

The "fuck me" eyed ones are just annoying

hallow vigil
#

^

paper oriole
#

no anthro, no weird wolf dino OCs (yep those have been posted), no neon rainbow dinos

hallow vigil
#

i hate the ones that have suggestive facial expressions, saliva dripping everywhere, etc. It feels so nsfw lol

paper oriole
#

ugh yeah those are some of the worst

#

and the ones with the huge eyelashes

pliant ember
#

Characterization for an animal should be fine as long as it isn't some Deviantart borderline fetish art

paper oriole
#

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?

pliant ember
hallow vigil
#

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

paper oriole
#

on occasion they can be funny but then people just start spamming them and it gets stale fast

hallow vigil
#

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

paper oriole
#

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

honest cradle
#

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

paper oriole
#

or when somebody's isle related piece they put considerable effort into isn't isle enough but then a yutyrannus sketch is allowed

honest cradle
#

mhmm

pliant ember
#

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?

paper oriole
#

is that still there? because if so that's a yikes

honest cradle
#

Like cool, why bother putting in effort when that's allowed

paper oriole
#

fan-art is in dark times indeed

pliant ember
#

Nah I called a Mod on it

honest cradle
#

It's disheartening at best

pliant ember
#

Fan-art was so much fun back then

wild stone
#

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.

paper oriole
#

is the traced path of titans spino and struthio still in there?

#

no these are people making scribbles as a joke, not kids

pliant ember
#

I remember making a Strain concept along with some folks in here
Now days is just sad to see what has become of it

paper oriole
#

they often have some 'humerous' description like "i spent 50 hours on this"

wild stone
#

Well in that case, a mod would know what to do about that.

#

Humerous, you say? 🦴

silk heath
#

kids aren't dumb

#

only some

golden beacon
#

If you call kids dumb your insulting your past self so

wild stone
#

Who said "dumb"?

silk heath
#

true

golden beacon
pliant ember
silk heath
#

some people are using kids as an "excuse"

wild stone
paper oriole
#

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

wild stone
#

What does the mods preferences have to do with anything?

paper oriole
#

inconsistency

golden beacon
paper oriole
#

i have no clue what it is lol

#

it was taken from a drone or something

golden beacon
#

Now im terrible at drawing but cmon is this what art teachers feel like when they see something like this

pseudo falcon
#

@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.

golden beacon
#

Its "isle" fan art

hallow vigil
#

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

paper oriole
#

i'd say they should just bring back offtopic art but it was basically sfw furaffinity when they had that channel up

hallow vigil
#

^

#

im glad someone said it lol

pseudo falcon
#

And I wouldn't say the fan art channel is anything like google images. It has a variety of art in it.

paper oriole
pseudo falcon
#

Yeah that goes for pretty much any isle server with an art channel in all fairness

golden beacon
#

How is this related to isle and how is this art

pliant ember
#

Offtopic art was a nightmare for both the Mods and the sane people of this discord

pseudo falcon
#

I like seeing people's personal dino art, it adds to the channel.

#

@golden beacon 3D art is just as much art as 2D

wild stone
#

Yeah, but.. it's not an Isle creature

hallow vigil
#

dino art is cool to see but when i open The Isle Fan Art, thats all i expect lol

pliant ember
#

But
It's unrelated
That's the point, why call it Fan-art at this point?

hallow vigil
#

rather than dinos in general

paper oriole
#

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

golden beacon
#

Ok its art nvm XD

pseudo falcon
#

It's frustrating that he posts it over and over but it's still art

paper oriole
#

there are actually servers in there that have copypasted their advert dozens of times

wild stone
#

Fan art is art of the subject the fans are a fan of, not any art that a fan of the game did.

golden beacon
#

If only it was isle art

#

Ya know i like the one with the dilo and the taco

paper oriole
#

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

pseudo falcon
#

If anything I would be happy with a no WIP policy more than removing all but isle dinos.

paper oriole
#

but there is a shitload of offtpic shit that has been posted in there

hallow vigil
#

^

paper oriole
#

ok yeah the WIP posts are annoying as fuck

wild stone
paper oriole
#

especially when its like "i added 4 lines i better post my progress"

hallow vigil
pseudo falcon
paper oriole
#

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

hallow vigil
#

just leave it up to the mods, theyre judgement is trusted for a reason

paper oriole
#

its pretty obvious when something is unrelated sometimes

hallow vigil
#

^

pliant ember
paper oriole
#

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

hallow vigil
#

^

pseudo falcon
#

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

hallow vigil
#

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

golden beacon
#

Here we have a torvosaurus tripping on a minecraft block dying and the end really good isle art guys

hallow vigil
#

lol

paper oriole
#

my anky prime got wiped from fanart shortly before the yuturannus got to stay 😦

hallow vigil
#

CURSED

pseudo falcon
#

lmfao

paper oriole

he is glorious bro

you know what, i will

hallow vigil

pliant ember
#

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

paper oriole
#

i saw a JP trike in there a few days ago, like it looked so closely referenced it was obviously from JP

pseudo falcon
#

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

paper oriole
#

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

wild stone
pliant ember
#

The Æ symbol could work too

pseudo falcon
paper oriole
#

making a dossier for the animal is another way to make it isle worthy

wild stone
pliant ember
#

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

pseudo falcon
#

Well maybe crack down on the fact that something isn't paleo art

feral wedge
#

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."

paper oriole
#

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

pseudo falcon
#

Like if the stuff like that minecraft dino meme is annoying than just remove because the rules state isle fan art and paleo art

feral wedge
#

It's why I was often very harsh on what made it.

pseudo falcon
#

of which that animation was neither

feral wedge
#

And some people would try and find weird work-arounds to justify posting things that they just wanted to post.

#

Which was always testy.

pseudo falcon
#

ok so Gar, is the pain of governing it really worth it?

pliant ember
#

"Here's my feathered green Spino with huge wings, it's completely Isle related I swear"

feral wedge
#

I prefer the integrity of the channel's contents over letting it become a mess.

pseudo falcon
#

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

hallow vigil
#

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

golden beacon
#

Anky prime coming to isle TI_SmugTroodon

paper oriole
#

anky prime should be elder anky model

pliant ember
golden beacon
#

Hypo anky model

feral wedge
#

I thought Anky prime was more of a meme, tbh. Just another of those distorted models made for joking purpose.

paper oriole
#

it is one of the mutation memes yeah

pliant ember
#

Like that weird Dilo I presume

paper oriole
#

but to be fair, it is isle related

golden beacon
#

Dilo dog TI_Perfect

pliant ember
#

What was it's name?
Bob?

honest cradle
#

Seeing it once or twice was fine, but seeing it nearly spammed got annoying really quick

pliant ember
#

Ben?

feral wedge
#

Memes still do not belong in fan-art.

#

Doesn't matter if TI related or not.

paper oriole
#

aw come on but a yutyrannus is allowed that just aint right man

hallow vigil
pliant ember
#

Might have just slipped past the Mods

pseudo falcon
#

Ok so you're basically asking for your tyranus to be removed lol

golden beacon
#

Then its not isle or fan art its just art

paper oriole
#

yeah i am salty about the yutyrannus

feral wedge
#

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.

pliant ember
#

Paleoart is allowed too so

paper oriole
#

i've also seen othe rmutation memes stay in there but i dont wanna call them out

golden beacon
#

Protest for anky prime

feral wedge
#

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.

pliant ember
#

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

feral wedge
#

Mhm.

paper oriole
#

aw man anky prime got executed again

feral wedge
#

Rules are the rules. Lol

pliant ember
#

Your Anky just didn't get lucky

i am gonna be salty and petty about this

damn the hot skin piece below that almost made me have a positive thought about utah

golden beacon
#

Minmi Prime when?

paper oriole
#

you know what, maybe i will

feral wedge
#

Be careful it's not a meme, or I will eradicate that, as well. Squint

Hypo minmi should be bigger than brachi TI_Troll

#

Nah, make him the worst anklebiter known to man

#

But cool

golden beacon
#

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

hallow vigil
#

can servers have passwords in evrima? i only ever look at officials lol

golden beacon
#

Ehm i think so

#

Idk i play on teutonic

hoary dawn
#

i've never seen a server with a required password, then again i never willingly join realism servers

paper oriole
#

i've joined realism servers to troll and KOS so i'm probably the kind of person this dude wants passwords to stop TI_Troll

#

never seen a server with a passcode myself either though

still raptor
#

Class why did you do that?

paper oriole

aw man i missed a class selfie?

did i miss epic class face reveal

Horrifying to say the least

Why... is it’s neck so long? shudder

paper oriole

No zombies pls

Zombies are so overdone

#

It honestly would feel cheap

fiery wraith
#

i thought they were doing cannibal monster demons, not zombies

paper oriole
#

Yeah and pretty sure cannibals are just mutants, another byproduct of Appolo Engineering's mad scientist shenanigans

hoary dawn
#

dont think a zombie filled hospital fits the kind of horror they're gonna go for

limber hull
#

i feel like a zombie-filled hospital would be very confusing

#

perhaps a defect-strain filled lab would fit better

paper oriole
#

or a lab where they had been testing on the tribals/cannibals could offer better creeps than generic zombies

sonic mural
#

@sudden kelp I think rex should get the longest scent radius rather than giga

patent garden
#

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?

paper oriole
#

yikes that giga suggestion

#

you want giga to be totally busted or something?

patent garden
#

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

paper oriole
#

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

sonic mural
#

True

patent garden
#

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

paper oriole
#

"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

patent garden
#

evrima is trying to make apexes more niche for a reason....

#

key word trying tho

#

deinos can win easily on land rn

paper oriole
#

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

patent garden
#

tru, just needs to have facetanking and spam alt biting discouraged

paper oriole
#

it needs punishment for spamming alt bite

sonic mural
#

Until another deino shows up and kills itTI_Troll

paper oriole
#

take away the ridiculous stam usage from stego swing and throw it on deino alt bite, bam

patent garden
#

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

paper oriole
#

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

patent garden
#

the ambush should be heavily prioritized and preferred... people need to realize that ambushers lose the instant they’re seen

paper oriole
#

theyre basically the new docktahs

patent garden
#

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

paper oriole
#

yeah it's kinda funny the fat alligator does a better job at being a rock/docktah than actual utahs now

patent garden
#

i know it was annoying sometimes but it created more fun fights imo

paper oriole
#

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

patent garden
#

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

sonic mural
#

I’d rather go up a tree since carno can still get on some rocks

patent garden
#

trees should be for the herreras

#

imo

#

just so there’s more of a spread of dinos

paper oriole
#

velo can get a momentum climb, utah doesn't need it

patent garden
#

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

paper oriole
#

also a 500kg animal momentum running up a tree lmao why

patent garden
#

jumping onto a rock should be the most they get climbing wise

paper oriole
#

yeah it's enough for them, they'll also probably climb human structures again once more of that is in

patent garden
#

yee

#

let the herreras have their trees 😤 ✊

paper oriole
#

yeah and also the momentum climb would screw over hypsi with his already shitty jump too

sonic mural
#

It’ll probably cost them a lot less stam than Utah when going up a tree

patent garden
#

otherwise it takes away from the herrera’s niche...

#

seriously, raptors do not need to be everywhere...

paper oriole
#

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

patent garden
#

^^^

#

again the whole point of evrima is to encourage niches

#

utah will already be way more versatile than most dinos, even without tree climbing

sonic mural
#

True

paper oriole
#

it also leaves momentum climbing open for some unadded dinosaur to claim who would utilize it better

sonic mural
#

If the whole pounce dismount wasn’t a free hit sometimes I’d basically be the most survivable carnivore rn

paper oriole
#

not to mention super easy to grow when youre in one of the many utah megapacks

#

those packs replenish their numbers so damn easily

sonic mural
#

Yep and u can always juke carnos to get away in the forest

paper oriole
#

yeap

sudden kelp
#

@sonic mural actually that makes a lot of sense

paper oriole
#

yo sorbi

#

were you drunk when you made that giga suggestion

novel turtle
#

i like the tracking idea just not the ambush stuff

paper oriole
#

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

spiral ravine
#

@sudden kelp that's just legacy giga, and we know giga will be very different from legacy

@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)

blazing charm
#

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.

urban flax
#

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

# urban flax I understand the appeal of the arboreal niche since we don't have any arboreal h...

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

valid zephyr
#

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.

wary sparrow
#

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

valid zephyr
#

Yeah I definitely want a small climbing herbi to act as herrea pray.

I just think that hypsi is already half way there.

odd sedge
#

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

valid zephyr
#

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.

odd sedge
#

Same goes for Hypsi, since it is heavily fictionalized in the isle and probably a bottom dweller like Oro

valid zephyr
#

My personal preferred list for burrowing would be: proto, oro, velo. maybe minmi in aquatic burrows.

odd sedge
#

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

valid zephyr
#

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.

odd sedge
#

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

valid zephyr
#

I mean potentially velo could have both the gliding mechanic, and burrow raiding stuck on. Burrowing owl...

odd sedge
#

Ohhhh I actually like that

valid zephyr
odd sedge
#

I like that idea a lot

valid zephyr
#

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.

#general-feedback message

spiral ravine
#

@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

odd sedge
valid zephyr
#

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.

odd sedge
#

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

valid zephyr
#

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.

Yeah sorry just having a rant, as I arrived in the earlier days of the isle were semi realism existed.

But Hypsi climbing is not more realistic than Oro climbing

valid zephyr
#

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.

odd sedge
#

Of course the creatures are heavily fictionalized

valid zephyr
#

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.

odd sedge
#

The fact that Hypsi looks like a bird of paradise is a flaw to begin with

valid zephyr
#

If oro got turned into a fully arboreal animal, I'd want it to look like a bird of paridise.

odd sedge
#

Fair enough. If Hypsi was fictionalized that way, why not make the other small ornithopod into a bird of paradise as well

valid zephyr
#

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.

odd sedge
#

That is not a concept for monkeys, other species have a grabby tail as well, so an arboreal “dinosaur“ could have that as well

valid zephyr
#

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.

oak tapir

#

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.

odd sedge
#

That won't solve the problem of having basically every small creature burrowing while the arboreal niche is just Hera so far

wild stone
#

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.

valid zephyr
#

I don't think pteranodon is planned to climb. More just sit on rocks.

#

A climbing pterosaur would be cool though. Fruit eater maybe.

potent sparrow
#

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

odd sedge
#

Hypsi isn't a climber (currently) and there is no reason for Pteras to hang in trees when they can land on rocks

wild stone
#

Hard disagree with you, there.

odd sedge
#

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

wild stone
#

So an arboreal climbing herbivore like Hypsi, in other words.

odd sedge
#

Hypsi isn't arboreal right now

#

The devs literally did not intend it to be a climber

wild stone
#

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.

odd sedge
#

It being able to jump into trees was because players found it out

wary sparrow
#

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

wild stone
#

"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.

wary sparrow

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.

wary sparrow
#

I wouldn’t complain if hypsi would be an actual arboreal animal once the climbing mechanic comes

wild stone
#

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.

valid zephyr
#

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 ?

But we've got bird of paridise hypsi.

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

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.

also legs seem too short in the end of the video when it's running.

#

body is way larger than the legs

hoary dawn
#

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 📌

clever urchin
#

@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!

wintry monolith
#

@ivory ledge a update wouldent fix that because its that smb took the slot before you

charred nova
#

@tawny crest if you know a bit of history you would understand why i said there should be ww2 remains

wintry monolith
charred nova
#

Could of easily been invaded by the Japanese but forgotten about or possibly plane's could of crashed there

urban flax
#

The Isle literally has nothing to do with WW2

wintry monolith
#

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

charred nova
#

There's plenty of. Missing aircraft in new guinea yet it's quite populated

wintry monolith
#

aircraft

#

not tanks

charred nova
#

Yea i used the tank as a bit of a example i agree on that

wintry monolith
#

and there are tribals on the island

#

idk how true this is but a grain of it needs to be in the video

snow meadow
#

Is there a way to get Utahs off you when they pounce as deino 🤔

zealous violet
tawny crest
charred nova
#

Can you explain why they would be no sense

#

It's likely this map is based in the Pacific aswell

tawny crest
#

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

charred nova
#

if it was v3 then yea i could see it being man made but this? i dont think so

tawny crest
#

well still ww2 remains wouldn't just fit the isle

#

ww2 has litterally nothing to do with the isle

patent garden
#

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

tawny crest
#

exactly

patent garden
#

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

zealous violet
#

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.

charred nova
#

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

urban flax
#

Maybe things actually related to the lore would be better

zealous violet
#

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.

charred nova
#

so according to that logic you cant have any easter eggs at all

zealous violet
#

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.

urban flax
#

Not ones that make no sense

zealous violet
#

Literally no one said you can't have easter eggs.

charred nova
#

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

tawny crest
#

why do you want ww2 ruins? we can just have modern tanks as ruins and it wouldn't hurt the lore

zealous violet
#

Besides that, how would you define what war its from aside from hoping people will recognize say, a downed ww2 aircraft?

tawny crest
#

like that phoenix corp might've brought tanks on the island

urban flax
#

It's a very bad idea to bring tanks in a jungle island though

zealous violet
#

Perhaps this convo should go to isle-lore-theories channel?

tawny crest
#

yes

charred nova
#

agreed lets continue it there

tawny crest
#

actually

#

@charred nova

#

it takes like 1 minute 40 secs to speak

#

nvm

zealous violet
#

oh good point.

tawny crest
#

and adding things wouldnt make sense

#

so then add helicopters as ruins then

zealous violet
#

I gotta dip out. Later folks

tawny crest
#

modern helicopters

charred nova
#

issue is and im pretty sure the isle is set during the 1990s to early 2000s so not really crazy modern day vehicles

tawny crest
#

black hawks

charred nova
#

i for sure think helicopters would make sense

#

maybe a few crashed ones near the merc componds

tawny crest
#

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

charred nova
#

yea i agree on that

#

but maybe a bit earlier helicopters may be better

#

like a huey

tawny crest
#

also this helicopter is the pfp of the olympus transmitter

charred nova
#

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?

tawny crest
#

it would fit to see the crashed helicopters deep in the jungle since they crashed through the trees

charred nova
#

Yep maybe more often around the deep jungle

broken thorn
#

@blissful onyx please continue with those dossiers, amazing work👌 TI_Perfect

blissful onyx
#

aw thanks! i am thinking of doing plateo next!

broken thorn
#

Go for it!!

scarlet nebula
#

I agree

#

Also there is tons of of things to hunt

#

It would give the stegos and deinos something to be afraid of

odd sedge
#

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

scarlet nebula
compact hare
#

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"

worn pumice
#

I could care less about what they add at this point

#

As soon as they added stego it ruined what they were going for

delicate tulip
#

^^bingo

worn pumice
#

Adding a rex probably isn’t a good idea anyways as a playable currently

delicate tulip
#

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

limber hull
#

i mean

worn pumice
limber hull
#

there's a good counter to megapacking deinos

#

run away

#

lmao

worn pumice
#

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

quiet estuary
#

@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)

worn pumice
#

First of all pls don’t like ur own suggestion

#

But also like said above

#

These things should be discouraged through mechanics

#

Not rules

azure wadi
#

@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

chilly slate
#

Megapacking will end when admin commands are added to manage server rules

lunar nest
#

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

urban flax
#

@lunar nest All playables currently have the same hunger drain, it's temporary

lunar nest
#

oh

#

really?

#

i really felt like dryo and utah drained food way faster than deino...

urban flax
#

Devs didn't want to bother balancing a thing that will drasitcally change with the implementation of diets

lunar nest
#

fair enough i guess

worn pumice
#

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

quiet estuary
barren zephyr
#

the more "make cannibalizing bad and a punishment" suggestions i see, the more I wanna leave this server

hoary dawn
#

I always kill my own

copper flax
#

@barren zephyr play cerato then, it won’t get punished at all.

vestal rune
#

cannibalism shouldn't be punished, it just shouldn't give any positive diet effects unless you're a cerato

ashen elm
#

Sonic why did you downvote your own suggestion lmao

paper oriole
#

He put an up and downvote for people to use

#

Sometimes people do that on their own suggestions

ashen elm
#

Ahh that makes more sense, though they could've just said please up or downvote 🤔

swift dew
#

@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

hybrid matrix
#

@desert tendon u're not moving at "high speeds" when skimming as a pteranodon

#

skimming is the second slowest form of flying

vestal rune
#

@hybrid oar game does not need more dinos rn, it needs more mechanics and it needs to get fixed

hybrid oar
#

@vestal rune if you say so

vestal rune
#

ye, most of the balance issues come from performance issues/bugs and missing mechanics

hybrid oar
#

@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?

vestal rune
#

well for example, collisions, deino fights are clownshoes rn because its collision is awful

hybrid oar
#

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

hybrid matrix
hybrid oar
#

welp the player base is already shrinking again

vestal rune
#

well with the low variety we have rn more variety would be nice, but it's more variety of bad gameplay

hybrid oar
#

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

vestal rune
hybrid oar
#

@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

vestal rune
#

this applies to, albiet at a less extreme degree, all the other dinos

hybrid matrix
hybrid oar
#

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

vestal rune
#

also yes it has everything to do with adding more dinos, because of programmers are focusing on adding dinos, they're not adding mechanics

hybrid oar
#

rofl focus on collision? thats something that can be knocked out in a weekend

vestal rune
#

if it could be knocked out in a weekend it would have been done already

hybrid matrix
#

u're definitely trolling

#

fish dont bother

#

theyre a troll

hybrid oar
#

i mean a weekend for the collison box on the deino not the entire game

hybrid matrix
vestal rune
#

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

hybrid oar
#

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

vestal rune
#

walk into another deino as deino, you'll see the issue

hybrid oar
#

i have

vestal rune
#

also that's only one issue, another one is that carno is OP rn because of desync

hybrid oar
#

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

hybrid matrix
#

evrima hasnt even been out for a full year wtf?

hybrid oar
#

rofl really evrima was promised for years

#

YEARS not months

vestal rune
#

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

hybrid matrix
hybrid oar
#

2 years from a game standpoint i would have rather them made a new game and paid for it again

vestal rune
#

ye but years makes it sound like we've been waiting since like 2017 for it lmao

vestal rune
#

that's what evrima is

hybrid matrix
#

u wanna pay for evrima when u can just get it for free?

vestal rune
#

also 2 years is really short in game development time

#

especially for an indie team like the isle

hybrid oar
#

2 years for whats here thats loonnngggggggggggg

vestal rune
#

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?

vestal rune
#

was thinking of tf2 lmao, but ye

#

spore is similar in some ways because it's also a completely new type of game

hybrid matrix
#

spore started development in 2000 and came out in 2009

hybrid oar
#

just because something is different doesnt mean it takes a long time to code lol

vestal rune
hybrid oar
#

how many lines do you think the eat and drink code are im going to guess less than 100

vestal rune
#

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

hybrid oar
#

click for action is unique?

vestal rune
jade schooner
#

he means the interaction goal

vestal rune
#

oh

#

well ye that's literally one mechanic, the game has way more than that

jade schooner
vestal rune
#

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

hybrid matrix
#

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

vestal rune
#

the isle in general is a really ambitious game, it may not even reach its full potential

jade schooner
#

I doubt it will, ngl

hybrid matrix
#

and its not like the code is easy to write (let alone how many lines u have)

jade schooner
#

But it'll try it's best to get as close

vestal rune
#

also ye I've coded shit in python, even simple things can take a while and a lot of lines

jade schooner
#

Python brings me so many memories of searching where I fucked up the code...

vestal rune
#

lmao ye

hybrid oar
#

great lord no offense but that was dumb rofl

hybrid matrix
hybrid oar
#

i could think of multiple ways to write your 100 year code what language #1?

#

so thats kinda stupid lol

hybrid matrix
hybrid oar
#

i do everyday mainly php and sql stuff anymore

vestal rune
#

you ever made a game?

hybrid matrix
hybrid oar
#

i did a lot of muds back in the 80s and 90s

jade schooner
#

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)

vestal rune
#

nah I don't think NvX has experience in this type of game

jade schooner
#

what do you mean with mud?

hybrid oar
#

MUDs == multi user dungeons

#

it was text based

jade schooner
hybrid matrix
vestal rune
#

ye MUDs are text-based

hybrid oar
#

pretty much yeah

jade schooner
#

I'm not sure that's very comparable to the isle tho

hybrid matrix
#

isnt DnD mostly scripted (as in dungeons, not decisions)

vestal rune
#

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

hybrid oar
#

just recommending

hybrid matrix
hybrid oar
#

a mud they are kinda fun

hybrid matrix
#

if its like DnD then its probably gonna be fun

jade schooner
hybrid matrix
hybrid oar
#

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

vestal rune
#

no, adding more dinos won't give players more to do

#

also none of legacy's code is relevant anymore

hybrid oar
#

sigh

#

yes it is

vestal rune
#

no it isn't

jade schooner
#

it won't die, I do not think so at least. But it is a sad truth that development has been slow

icy lion
#

it really isnt

vestal rune
#

it's completely scrapped

icy lion
#

the only things that have been ported from legacy are some models, some animations, and some sounds

#

0 code

hybrid oar
#

rofl if you dont think ctrl+c ctrl+v happened for initial damage numbers your on something

vestal rune
#

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?

icy lion
#

because even on release utah had completely different stats

vestal rune
#

you know evrima uses a completely different damage system than legacy right?

jade schooner
vestal rune
#

plus stats aren't code

hybrid oar
#

models is a different battle

jade schooner
hybrid oar
#

but saying the eat and drink stuff is different 100% there is only so many ways to write it be realistic

icy lion
#

it is

hybrid oar
#

ok

vestal rune
icy lion
#

nothing from legacy, code wise, was reused

vestal rune
#

and you can't copy and paste code from legacy into evrima because evrima works differently

hybrid oar
#

bout to fire IDA up and put this to bed

#

rofl

#

wow

#

okay

safe galleon
#

reusing old code would be worse than writing new and usable code

hybrid oar
#

anyway back to the orig topic

jade schooner
#

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

safe galleon
#

new creatures are fun

mechanics are necessary

jade schooner
#

Yes

hybrid oar
#

mechanics will be good

jade schooner
#

I wonder how fractures will be applied and their effect

vestal rune
#

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

jade schooner
#

What worries me the most is diet because I'm not so sure how they'll make it

hybrid oar
#

i dont think the game is shit at all

icy lion
#

punch mentioned fractures are locational which i bet will be fun

vestal rune
hybrid oar
#

i have been having a blast with it

vestal rune
#

oh ye you can absolutely have fun with it, but the game is shit

hybrid oar
#

how is it shit?

vestal rune
#

it has majour technical and gameplay issues

hybrid matrix
honest sparrow
#

playing legacy is like watching a bad movie with friends imo

#

pretty fun but painful

hybrid oar
#

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

vestal rune
#

bro collision is actually a small issue in the grand scheme of things

hybrid oar
#

no

vestal rune
#

it was just an example

hybrid oar
#

collision is not a small thing

vestal rune
#

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

hybrid oar
#

thats one of the bigger things to code

vestal rune
#

I meant it's affect on gameplay

hybrid oar
#

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

vestal rune
hybrid matrix
vestal rune
#

it's been an issue since the beggining of evrima and is present on every server

worn pumice
#

Just becuz u have fun with something doesn’t mean it’s good

#

Sounds weird but it’s true

vestal rune
#

ye that is true

hybrid oar
#

the game is in a good place honestly i didnt think it could be this good

vestal rune
#

the isle is a perfect example
