also its using echo location to see inn the dark and home in on its target. not sufficating. lmao XD

#

@strange quiver tbh the mud everywhere was kinda OP and madr it allmost impossible to track a vounded prey

sacred moat
#

All a teno would have to do was run in the giant bushes in on the river bank and wallow

#

Only suicidal Utahs would try to follow a teno in there

#

i think the next dino they should come out with after pachy is allo so we can balance the carno

urban flax
#

Cerato*

quasi night
#

i like that idea also lol maybe both

#

arent ceras smaller then carno?

urban flax
#

Yes it's smaller, but beefier

quasi night
#

i mean they come out with cera and thats what everyones gonna play lol

urban flax
#

That would be worse with Allo, since it'd become the largest available land predator
Nothing in the current roster can compete with an allo, except maybe stego

quasi night
#

true

#

i mean i was a carno on qa and got killed by an adult carno lol

#

Mix packing will happen regardless. Having every herbi give nutrients will just make things too easy for carnis and theyll still mixpack in the end

I mean does deino go on land

urban flax
#

Balance problems aren't a gameplay direction choice

sacred moat
#

The only thing a deino is catching on land and killing is a juvi stego

#

And even then, juvi stegos are SLIGHTLY slower than deinos on land

#

Being killed by a deino on land 9 times out of 10 is you’re fault

#

Deino In no shape or form is a land predator

honest sparrow
#

I mean it is a predator that can go on land TI_Troll

Do you think one day they'll add prehistoric animals to the game not from the dinosaur era. Like I'm talking post dinosaur. Terror birds, mammoths, giant sloths, smilodon, cave bears...etc

honest sparrow
meager tiger
#

Kinda sucks but understanble

#

Maybe the Isle 2? Lol

#

Why are people against a full grown multi ton stego one shotting a carno even though stego had to compete with a much bigger threat, Allosaur during it's time. That's like saying trike shouldn't be able to badly hurt a Allosaur even though it had to fight T rexes which were wayyy stronger?

#

That's what these animals evolved to compete tooth and nail with. Something smaller or weaker should be a much easier kill/defense

sacred moat
#

Like the thagomizer length on a stegos tail are nearly twice the width of a carno skull

#

The isle carno is slowly but surely turning into Disney dinosaurs carno

#

I feel like one of the devs saw this video about carno and took it a bit too literally

full juniper
#

I agree with chop, I wanna hear some terror inducing bellows

I know that everyone hates utha but I like it and Im missing more legs oriented attacks. Far as I read they should have powerful legs able to kick and rip with their 23-30cm sharp claws. I would love to see second special attack in form similar to pounce but just to slash and cut with its legs 😄 but i guess lot of people would hate it

cyan flame
#

@civic anvilIt's because utah is desgined as attrition large game hunter with bleed, not damage. So it doing the kind of attacks you describe wouldn't work with how it's balanced for now.

feral solstice
#

Realism doesn’t equal balance

civic anvil
cyan flame
civic anvil
# cyan flame Well, I mean... We have a stego that "jabs" instead of swings, so you're not ent...

I just read today lot of information about Utha from as much sources as i could find and even if there are differences in for example weight or if they lived in packs, or just occasionaly formed them, there was always one bottom line something like this "Utahraptor would have been an extraordinary killing machine. It is estimated that it reached 20 feet in length and weighed close to a ton. Two-inch serrated “steak knife” teeth in a skull a foot and a half long, blade-like claws up to 10 inches long on its hands combined with 15-inch killing sickle-claws on its feet, and a fast, highly agile body would make a Polar Bear or Siberian Tiger lucky to survive five seconds in the ring with this creature." And this just truly doesnt feel even close like this in game 😄 that is little bit sad because they are iconic for that. But...it is hard to judge how it will be when game is fully ready and fully finished

cyan flame
#

So in any case, comparing it to IRL utah just doesn't work. What we have in game is a JP raptor, and they don't function like actual utahraptors would by any means.

@civic anvil pack hunting

civic anvil
celest basin
#

One thing I want changed though, is less stamina drain during a pounce so that a pounce rewards you more than just draining your stam

#

Pounce does massive bleed though

civic anvil
# celest basin solo utahs are meant to go for smaller targets

yea ofcourse but if you as utha get in situation 1v1 even against tougher one or bigger one I think you still should be considered as treath but i rarely feel like that 😄 everyone attacking first because they can one hit so they trying and pushing...even pounce if you miss is penalted with animation 😄

celest basin
#

teno should have a clear advantage

cyan flame
#

Considering both carno and teno are balanced to counter utahs, I don't think a utah, or even two, would stand a good chance vs a single one of them.

celest basin
#

1v1 utah winning isn't balanced

civic anvil
celest basin
#

and a pounce is only successful if the teno doesn't buck

#

better to be patient and pick off smaller tenos in a group than go for a larger one

hoary dawn
#

canor populations will go down as more dinos are added

barren zephyr
#

@golden iron I totally agree. everything thats eating meat except ptera is iterally overpowered right now. Not only that as a juvi herbivore you stand no chance at all, also the fact that they grow 100 times faster than herbivores

hoary dawn
#

that's why herbivores tend to move in herds

golden iron
hoary dawn
#

growing an apex isn't supposed to be a cakewalk my guy

golden iron
#

but it shouldnt be fucking impossible.

hoary dawn
#

i find it easier to go to more obscure parts of the map instead of sticking to the main central plains

golden iron
#

you do realize stegos are forced to the plains right

barren zephyr
#

Yeah, there’s almost no chance to grow anything at center anyways

hoary dawn
#

there isn't just 1 plains on the whole map

barren zephyr
#

^

golden iron
#

good luck getting there at all anyways, carnos are everywhere

hoary dawn
#

again, its not supposed to be easy

golden iron
#

carno is currently apex level pred with only a 2 hour grow time, now less

cyan flame
#

It'll probably be more balanced when not everyone is a carno too

barren zephyr
#

there shouldn’t even be this many carnos in the first place, it’s just due to the lack of interesting playables

cyan flame
#

But yes, it should be difficult to successfully grow a stego or any other apex level animal, simple as that. If you don't really want to be one, there are other alternatives to play

golden iron
#

being difficult and being impossible are two different things

barren zephyr
#

they see big scary theropod they click

hoary dawn
#

its not impossible

golden iron
#

ive yet to make it to 10% as a stego and ive gone through countless runs now since it was added

cyan flame
#

How many runs, if you know?

sacred moat
#

am I the only one that feels like teno should be able to fracture carnos skull or atleast give it a broken jaw if a teno is just slamming down on its head using its tail?

hoary dawn
#

you having issue with it doesn't make it impossible

golden iron
#

probably like 15 at this point, probably more i stopped counting

#

i never make it more than 10 minutes without being seen

#

even though im very careful

#

and once one carno sees, here come the rest so it doesnt matter if you kill one

cyan flame
#

I think it's excessively difficult right now cause everyone is a carno, when it's a bit more evened out, it shouldn't be quite as bad, so it's hard to say

#

But yeah, I can get the frustration after 15 deaths

golden iron
#

it wont be evened out, because everyone spam plays carno anyways

#

it will never stop until they add another dino that they can abuse and overpack

#

hopefully pachy will tame these stupid infestations

#

I remember the game as enjoyable, but once they added carno the whole atmosphere changed to just an annoying survival

sacred moat
#

i think carno is going to slap pachy ngl

barren zephyr
sacred moat
#

felipe said on his stream that pachy headbutt wont break a carnos leg

barren zephyr
#

WHAT

golden iron
#

it has to

sacred moat
#

and im assuming it'll only take 3-4 attacks to kill a pachy

barren zephyr
#

So pachy is useless too I see

golden iron
#

theres no other way to get awya other than break the legs an run

sacred moat
#

um hold on let me see if i can get the clip

paper oriole
#

I remember when some foolish people kept saying diets would fix the herbi population and carnos are still the easiest things to grow so far lmao

golden iron
#

everything is useless against carno

#

you cant chase after them cause the

#

they'll always be faster

cyan flame
barren zephyr
#

also I think herbivores should get more camouflage than carnis. like dude they look like foliage, while you still can cleary see a stego in the middle of a forest even tho its GREEN XDD

paper oriole
#

Im glad my expectations were already low

cyan flame
#

Also, if pachy can't break carnos legs, then what is it supposed to do? Wasn't the entire point to break carno leg, then run the hell away?

barren zephyr
paper oriole
#

Now its just herbis have to search for food and carnis just have to wait for them to show up

#

Easy life for carnos

golden iron
paper oriole
#

They made carnis into pizza delivery simulator

barren zephyr
#

like ptera is okay. you can grow ptera any time you want. its easy. but at least it wont oneshot you by only looking at you

#

Why isn’t teno on carnos diet btw

paper oriole
#

Just wait and dont put any extra work in

golden iron
#

and good luck getting away once you're spotted. No foliage for babies, no logs to hide, nothing

paper oriole
#

I knew from the start diets would favour carnis TI_LUL

#

I am like a psychic or something

golden iron
#

I started playing BoB and ive really enjoyed being able to take cover from weather in trees and logs and under rocks, plus the natural disasters make it very fun and its the perfect way to keep people moving. I wish the isle would take the same course

barren zephyr
#

also not even a main problem that carnis literally buttride all herbivores no matter what. the real problem is that they keep overkilling. like youd have a lake with 2498529 bodies and theyd still would kill your baby dryo ass

golden iron
#

they're trying too hard to be a different game, despite their lore being the same as literally any dino movie/game. Dinos vs humans. The isle is just going to turn into jurrassic park

paper oriole
#

The new system has just taken herbis who were already vastly outnumbered and removed their ability to avoid predators reliably and instead deliver themselves to carnos who now dont even need to hunt

#

Encourages braindead carnis and discourages touching herbi

paper oriole
#

Exactly what i feared would happen

golden iron
#

I used up almost all spawn locations because of the amount of times my little stego couldnt run from the op carno

barren zephyr
#

they should make carnis grow slower and have a way harder diet so they dont kill everything they see

paper oriole
#

Diets wont stop kfs as is seen

#

Kfs shohldnt be stopped honestly but the mass killing is ridiculous

#

Because they have the time to do it and herbis dont have the time to do anything but look for food

#

Due to diets, carnis will probably have a lot easier time nesting as well

golden iron
#

definitely, it should be rewarding to get to adult as a carnivore, but anyone can do it now super super easy.

barren zephyr
#

like right now again carnos running INTO my spikes and I get killed and he gets NO damage

#

This is A shitty hitbox

weak dune
# paper oriole I knew from the start diets would favour carnis <:TI_LUL:461642094671429634>

Considering 90% of diet punishment falls on herbs, yeah. Supposedly carni's "need" more leniency on diet debuffs but if the QA test is proving anything its the exact opposite. Diets should swing the game population largely in Herb favor so that you have only a handful of badass carni's and a wide range of Everything Else

As Carno is set up right now, its literally begging to be abused

#

Which means its begging to be the only thing played because no one wants to play just to be Bully Fodder

paper oriole
grizzled vector
#

Carno’s charge shouldn’t have fracture whos idea was that

paper oriole
#

Fracture makes sense for it but yeah its stupid because it encourages brawling

golden iron
#

i feel the only way to fix it is to have certain limits to how many players can be on the map as certain dinos. So if theres already 15 carnos, too bad play something else or wait until one dies.

paper oriole
#

Hard limits are pretty awful, it should just be harder to grow carni

barren zephyr
#

and again got pounced by utah for fun

paper oriole
#

Carnis should have to work way more than herbis to keep themselves healthy

grizzled vector
#

They said they didn’t want fracture to be a death sentence but if a carno hits a teno and fractures it there’s literally nothing that teno can do

barren zephyr
#

dude if id get a dollar for everytime someone kills me for no reason Id be a millionaire

#

This is ridicoulus

paper oriole
#

Carnis are incentivized to sport kill while herbis barely even have time to stop and enjoy the landscape

barren zephyr
#

AND EVEN as a fully grown stego you stand no chance against 2 carnos

#

cuz they gonna come and buttride you together since your own hitrange is smaller than hypsis spit range

paper oriole

Imagine how bad kentro will be now

barren zephyr

"should stagger the carno, nothing else"

golden iron
#

If a stego can one shot a utah for being stupid, a pachy can break a carnos leg for being stupid. Its their mistake, and they need to be punished for it.

paper oriole
#

They really want carno to meet 0 resistance huh

golden iron
#

If pachy cant break carno leg then carno will remain the apex predator

Imagine stego being able to kill utah

very easily actually, utah players are not intelligent

#

i miss the legacy carno tbh, it was a danger to small dinos, but ervima carno is just a smaller version of the disney dinosaur Carno

paper oriole

Who's the carno enthusiast in the dev team who got to run amok on the new updateTI_Wheeze

sacred moat
#

legacy carno was actually balanced

#

woah, legacy?? balanced???

weak dune
paper oriole
#

Legacy carno had an awful bite hitbox but it was better than the ezgrow rex we currently have

weak dune
#

Except if Rex was faster and had a buttload of stam

cyan flame
sacred moat
paper oriole
#

Like you could have your face right on something and it wouldnt land in legacy

golden iron
#

I think carno should get a stam increase, but should be slower than utah. Carno does not need stam, speed, damage and health. Thats pure OP and leaves the utah unviable

sacred moat
#

now we literally have a cheetah allo

grizzled vector
#

Utah is unviable because pounce sucks

paper oriole
#

Carno's whole shtick was speed, making it slower than utah would just make it discount cerato. He should stay fast but he shouldnt excel in other fronts

grizzled vector
#

And has sucked since day 1

golden iron
#

especially now, that they added inertia, you can barely out turn them anymore

#

then get rid of carno and add cerato. Would make the game much more enjoyable

#

Carno currently owns the whole game.

grizzled vector
#

I always questioned why carno was the Dino they decided on

sacred moat
#

i would rather 10 ceras vs 10 carnos tbh

paper oriole
#

Right now carno not only has speed, but power and even agility on his side due to inertia screwing over smaller dinos

golden iron
#

because they're stupid and dont ask what the community wants, its like a restaurant where you're not allowed to order and they give you whatever they feel like that day

paper oriole
#

He should have power and agility sacrificed for speed, rely on landing a charge and if he fucks up hes out of stam and has to recover

sacred moat
#

atleast with cera, you should be able to out run them, and make it harder for them to maintain food in giant packs

barren zephyr
sacred moat
#

wha-

#

how is that op

golden iron
#

once pounce does more bleed itll be good

lyric spoke
#

Remove utah from the game if u want it to be this unplayable

cyan flame
#

Utah pounce as a mechanic has always been fine. The damage/bleed has varied from stupidly OP to more or less reasonable. I'm not sure utah current bleed is bad, though it could be an issue for smaller raptors perhaps.

#

Granted, there's been all sorts of issues with the pounce, but as a concept and mechanic it's worked, more or less at least.

sacred moat
#

im not sure how adult utahs bleed is now, no one makes it to adult TI_LUL

weak dune
golden iron
#

the game needs to go back to, make a mistake and you're over. Its too forgiving combat wise and heavily favors in carno

cyan flame
#

I'm pretty sure all utahs need is to be able to eat carnos as well as the boars, and they'll do a whole lot better

sacred moat
#

if you want me to be honest, utah and carno should switch diets.

cyan flame
#

Carno = eat utah, teno, boars, dryo. Utah = eat carno, teno, stego, boars (or rabbits or whatever else we got)

sacred moat
#

juvi carno has a faaaaar better chance at taking down a juvi teno

grizzled vector
#

Utah needs another kill condition. You can literally only pounce thing in open fields because the smallest obstacle means your death but the second your target finds a rock or something to back itself up against your hunts over and you just wait for carnos to find you and wipe your pack

sacred moat
#

yeah pounce is kinda fodder if you can find a good rock or tree to hug

grizzled vector
#

Or just stand in ankle deep water

weak dune
#

Honestly Utah shouldn't be dismounted in water unless its literally submerged imo

cyan flame
#

The water thing is a bug

#

It'll be fixed no doubt

#

And I think the interactions with trees/rocks might change, besides, they removed those damn fern clusters at least :p

golden iron
#

honestly until this game is fixed i might just stick to BoB, which feels weird saying considering a few months ago I would shun myself for not being loyal to evrima

grizzled vector
#

I mean an 8 ton stego can throw itself on its back legs to buck a Utah off and it uses NO stamina doing it like cmon

golden iron
#

the game relys on floods, fires, tornados and such to keep people on their toes and moving and its so much more effective than the isles diets will ever be.

Alberto was a better version of sub Rex in legacy

It was decently fast for a Dino it’s size and was a terror to anything that was its size or smaller

I don’t really see it being too much of a problem like carno since it’s stupid ambush won’t be a thing

We only have a part of the map unlocked so far, cant wait for it to expand

So sick of the ez grow carni megapacks, the only new thing in this patch is herbis getting screwed over no surprise at all

@barren zephyr Wouldnt that.. take away from the point of hiding in foliage?

barren zephyr

not really, it's just close range body odor mechanic

#

I also think the range would depend of how big the animal his, for exemple a juvie would almost not be affected, only 1/2 meter or even nothing.

paper oriole
#

This just helps shitty hunters find people easier, it's hand holding

#

I can see it being a punishment for people who have been sitting stationary for an extensive period of time, but just being able to walk around sniffing and have the game point you to dinos you cant see on your own is bullshit

If you cant see a fat ass trike or spino or something in the woods its your own problem and you dont need hand holding

#

Why should utah specifically get a hearing buff when sniffing thats so random

cyan flame
#

@barren zephyr Interesting idea. My one quibble would be that there are situations where you do want to retreat, let's say you get pounced by one utah as carno, you see the rest and go "yep, time to bail", would you be able to do so without then killing yourself, directly or indirectly?

sleek wraith
paper oriole
#

Small fragile and flight animals in general could benefit from a hearing boost ability honestly if it got added

#

Seems random for utah in specific

barren zephyr
cyan flame
#

Noted, then it should be fine. Sacrificing a bit of health to get out alive is reasonable after all. Just wanted to make sure the damage wouldn't be too harsh, but that sounds okay.

barren zephyr
#

It would vary on species to species

cyan flame
#

This is mostly for those that would rather try and run, than fight. But I can see an issue with para and others later on.

barren zephyr
#

But for defensive playables like a Stego, this added change would do little to nothing
So the Pounce would retain it's attrition functionality

cyan flame
#

Since I imagine their method is to just tank the pounces sort of and just run the hell away.

#

Yeah, it depends a bit on how a critter is supposed to survive, by fighting or by escaping.

#

No amount of utahs is going to make a stego or trike or rex run away since they can't in the first place. But a para or maia or allo could, depending on if the pack is large enough to be sufficiently scary.

barren zephyr
#

I cooked this idea in the oven for awhile
But this would help alleviate a lot of the Kos'ing, since it could also be a feature malleable to be added for other playbles, Like a Giga for example

#

Say for example, A few Carno wanted to steal a kill from a pack of Utahs

cyan flame
#

I'm not saying the idea is terrible, mind you. Just pointing out what could be potential issues :p

barren zephyr
#

If the Carnos ran straight in rushing everything, getting pounced, sprinting and trying to kill the entire pack. It might find itself wounded and maybe even in a critical state very quickly.

#

While if the Carno played it more stationery, stood their ground on the kill. Relying on Alt biting, not rushing at every Utah, being patient to counter. They'd have much greater chances at success and effectively thwart the pack's numbers or resolve. While all in a defensive manner for resources

#

Since the "Pounce burn" would reward defensive play against Utahs

cyan flame
#

Yeah, I get the idea. Like I said, it's more so for those that want to escape an attack and do so by relying on running the hell away/"tanking" a pounce or two while doing so possibly

barren zephyr
#

A Carno/Teno would tank a Pounce or two in the event it only wants to escape. Given they don't let the Utah pounce on it too long.

cyan flame
#

It's an interesting idea at the least, not 100% convinced but you seem to have thought it through so I'll consider it!

barren zephyr
#

What ideas would you tweak for you to be 100% convinced?

cyan flame
barren zephyr
#

For situations where a creature is "caught" or another comes in trying to steal a kill

#

The best play would to simply stand your ground

#

Now, the pounce could be used to eventually wear down targets if none of the Utahs go down quick enough

#

But what playables could simply do, is wait out the temporary "Pounce burn" briefly then feel free to catch a Utah or two, when the target is pounced again, it could revert to defensive play once more until the timer is gone again.

cyan flame
#

I don't think if there's a pack, they'd let you "wait it out" at all

#

And the point was that you can't stay around, because said pack is enough to kill you if you do

barren zephyr
#

Do note, that if the timer for the burn is too excessive, it could be shortened. Allowing more of a heightened variable

cyan flame
#

The defensive parts I'm more fine with, that should work out, and if you try and bully too many utahs, well then that's on you

#

Its just the escape parts that has me slightly concerned, but yes, you could always modify the timer or damage to make it less harsh but still noticable if you insist on just charging at everything around you

barren zephyr
# cyan flame I don't think if there's a pack, they'd let you "wait it out" at all

Say for example you'd be pounced and it initiates a burn. While waiting for the short burn to wear off, another Utah pounces you. This wouldn't ramp any dramatic damage as long as you're not sprinting and still playing defensively. This also means another member is now draining stamina it needs to regen. As before, for creatures like Stego(or playing like Stego) it would be hardly of a detriment

#

So trotting, turning and attacking, alt attacking= Not a concern when a Pounce burns

#

You could simply continuously trot out of an area, when you're neck deep in Utah, countering them, killing when they miss their pounces. Until enough distance is made then being able to escape a confrontation

cyan flame
#

Yeah, I'm not worried so much for the defensive fighters. Again, it's only the ones that would try to run that concerns me. But would a second pounce restart the countdown, stack it, or just not count?

barren zephyr
#

Before I answer, what would you feel be the best option out of the mentioned alternatives to a muti pounce?

cyan flame
#

Hm.. logic would say it should restart it, but I'm not sure that'd be good. Stacking seems even worse, but it not counting is no better. So I guess restarting it would be my choice of those three.

barren zephyr
#

You also need to take into account that missing a pounce puts Utah in a "death" situation
Terrain, water, trees, (basically counters) and it would work as a pseudo Carno charge for "catching" prey. Given the amount of variables and wide margin of error for simply using it

#

Trotting mid tiers are gonna extend the margin of error more, so it's not like it's gonna be a barrage of Pounces in the majority of scenarios

#

Restarting it would be the fair alternative

#

Sprinting mid tiers are gonna be very difficult to land such pounces

#

Even if one would land, like we said. Nearly all of them are gonna be capable of shrugging off a Pounce or two if they really don't want to engage

cyan flame
#

Well, water is unlikely to be a counter. The trees might get reworked, and the runners I'm thinking of wouldn't really be in the forest in the first place. Think maia and similar, those are the ones I'm concerned with.

#

Things that aren't going to, most likely, fight a utah pack, as much as attempt to run them over and get out of there more often than not.

#

But yeah, a maia should be tanky enough to take a few pounces and "run it off" as it were

#

So maybe I'm worried for nothing

barren zephyr
#

If a Utah does manage to land a pounce on a larger, yet nimble target. It should act as a bonus to reward ambushing for the Utah landing the tricky pounce. Maia will still be in the size range to handle a two or few Utahs in combat, and the size/speed is still gonna allow it to shrug off those burns to escape if it doesn't want to engage.

cyan flame
#

Yeah, you're most likely right. And yes, ambushes should be rewarded, so that's all good. More utahs need to properly ambush and not just run up and then start to attack :p

barren zephyr
#

Yeah, that's why missing the pounce is basically a death sentence

#

Players that miss are slaughtered, given the Hp values of Utahs

cyan flame
#

It's not as bad anymore I don't think, they sped up the recovery time

#

So unless you miss right next to the targets attack area, you should be okay, more or less

barren zephyr
#

Still, to land a pounce puts you in close proximity of the target, so you're most likely missing right next to your target

#

I'm curious to see how this concept would play out, the real kinks would appear in the testing phases
But honestly I feel it's solid enough for it deserve a shot in testing

cyan flame
#

Yeah, testing it should be fine. But I'm inclined to say they need to make the pounce work properly before we add to it, it's most likely not a needed mechanic right now anyway.

barren zephyr
#

The issues with pounce, yeah
They need to iron out it's use to actually work as a proper attrition tool before they add side uses for it

#

But I'm all for multi functional abilities to start making a debut

#

Say the Pachy Headbutt for example

cyan flame
#

I think it does work decent as an attrition tool, if it worked performance wise :p

#

But that's the thing right, it's 90% (at least) performance issues with the pounce, and not stats or the mechanic itself

#

Just so many things that seem to be able to bug and not work

#

Oh, what would you do with the headbutt?

barren zephyr
#

I agree

#

Nothing, the Pachy Headbutt already is multi functional

#

Given that it could fracture, parry, and rock down trees for food

#

That's what I wanna see more of ideally for most playables

#

These features create depth

cyan flame
#

Yeah, that would be interesting and fun

#

You could give pounce that "climb" part, if utah do end up getting that

barren zephyr
#

Like MHW?

cyan flame
#

Instead of being knocked down/stunned, you can use it as a start to get up higher, or something possibly

#

Assuming you pounce the right trees and not ones that can't support you (in which case you should just fail like you do currently)

cyan flame
# barren zephyr Like MHW?

No idea what you're referring to. But if utahs do get some way to climb or at least scurry a bit up a tree, they could use the pounce for a better "start". Just an idea since you wanted to see more features for a mechanic.

barren zephyr
#

Monster Hunter World

cyan flame
#

Yes I know what game you meant, but I've never played or watched it :p

#

So no idea what in the game you are thinking of

barren zephyr
#

Basically you can rodeo monsters, use a grappling hook and hop to change positions

#

The same could be done to traverse up grass vines or areas

cyan flame
#

Ah, okay. You know, that could be a thing for larger prey, like a shant.

#

You have to pounce and then move up, to give space for more utahs to pounce, or something. Most likely something you'd do as a "finisher" when it's weakened and can't buck you all off as easily anymore or some such

barren zephyr
#

I had another idea to add, around the bleed icon. When a "Pounce burn" initiates, there's a circular timer around it
That tells you the exact info for how long the window lasts. so you could better distinguish your actions

cyan flame
#

That would be useful, but probably not something we'd get. Maybe just change the color of the icon to a more orange one, and then if you open character and hover you get the timer.

barren zephyr
#

Or have a water drain effect in the background of the blood drop icon

#

It would drain until the effect is over

No you can’t finish diets without having a larger player roster

#

It’s kinda stupid balancing an ecosystem off of 6 dinosaurs

hoary dawn
#

diets will continue to be updated as new playables come in

#

what the game needs is night vision and nesting

But I feel like diets should mainly be playables n not AIs

#

That’s always been the isles stick

#

Player vs player

hoary dawn
#

it doesn't need skins and venom as much

errant tartan
#

I just feel like diets have been added too soon

#

A fresh Utah should be a scavenger

#

Based purely on the mercy of what caracasses it can find

#

And thus is why we need a larger roster with more independent dinosaurs

#

As when you have a dinosaur that is solitary in nature, they won’t carcass camp as they might have a larger thing roll up on it

#

Nah yea I agree to an extent that ai is good for juvies, however basing adult diets off of ai I think is the wrong route

#

Idk tbh I can’t say too much as I haven’t had a chance to play the mechanic test but from all the feedback I have seen it sounds like it’s carno groups slapping the shit out of Utah’s. That might change in updates

#

But I think the game would just feel more alive if we had a larger ecosystem

#

But yes ai is a good add, but needs to be monitored

#

Yeah I agree

#

I have seen a lot of feedback saying that the carno charge is pretty powerful

#

Yeah I agree with this

#

Easier to hit than the Utah pounce however

#

True but even 5 more dinosaurs at this point would really freshen up the gameplay

hoary dawn
#

once all the mechanics are in its gonna be a lot easier to add more dinosaurs

errant tartan
#

Yea I agree nesting and gore are really important, also I think that elders is important too. But once dinosaur per update feels a bit lack lustre

hoary dawn
#

everyone wants more dinos, but best thing for the game is to get the core mechanics in first

errant tartan
#

Yea true true

#

Let’s hope so, I’m just worried that they will try to push out mercs or cannibals before the roster becomes diverse. Like I swear I saw something saying they wanted to push mercs out by the end of the year ? Idk I might be wrong on that tho.

Wait is that suggestion saying that tenonto should have a harder time getting mountain ash just because something carnis are doing lmao

#

Hell naw

lavish quail
paper oriole
#

If mountain ash is less accessible how will that not negatively impact tenonto

#

Mountain ash isnt a plant that exclusively grows in wetlands, if they increased its range then tenontos could get it from multiple biomes and swamp wouldnt be as much of a hotspot

#

The solution isnt to make life harder for tenonto

lavish quail
#

i mean move one of their plants

#

i can fill a teno diet in 5 minutes tops

Plus whats hard about teno life anyway

other than toxic players its pretty easy to sit in a bush with maxed diet

lavish quail
#

its not like they need to see it most of its the same

barren zephyr
#

You know your suggestion actually moves the congregation to a different area right?

#

The Tenos will simply go to the less accessible area if that's where the mountain ash is

paper oriole
#

Many of the herbi diet plants have a lot more range than is represented in game, meaning herbis and therefor carnis can be more spread out and have fewer hotspots if that was reflected ingame

lavish quail
#

"CaRNo Is TOo POWeRfUl" is my favourite quote

barren zephyr
#

Then the Utah's and Carnos will follow again

#

Same story,

#

like add agave back and its smooth sailing

#

Yeah the carnis win in the end wither day because all they have to do is sit and wait while the herbis do all the traveling

lavish quail
#

cause tenos gotta leave

lavish quail
barren zephyr
#

Yeah, they might want to fill up all their nutrients
Then Utahs and Carnos will find out those spots and just chill there for Tenos to be there to hotspot

paper oriole
#

Carnis have changed in to bush sitting simulator due to herbis being made to travel to specific spots that become hotspots

lavish quail
#

There isnt really a great way to stop hotspots

#

but i mean you could atleast add more than one swamp thats viable

paper oriole
#

Making less diet plants exclusive to one biome would be a start

#

More spread

#

Mountain ash is just one example

#

It can be in wetlands sure, but it can also be in any place with moist soil, is is a flexible moderate-moisture plant

#

Why put it in one biome and make that biome twins lake 2.0

lavish quail
#

Fix mudpools lol

#

they actually make utah hunts ez

barren zephyr
#

I think diet plants should be everywhere, just on less occasions
Typically you'd find this certain plant in this biome, but it could be found elsewhere for the sake of making foraging less painful

paper oriole
#

I hope they add dust bathing for feathered dinos when more come in too, wallowing looks stupid on dinos with so many ornamental feathers like hypsi and ovi and theri

barren zephyr
#

And certain plants should honestly give dual nutrients, specifically the rarer ones

paper oriole
#

Uncommon globally beneficial booster plants that are spread would be nice too definitely

#

Almost any diet plant can logically be in more than one biome though, i hope they spread them more

#

Make shit a bit less predictable and repetitive

barren zephyr
#

Yeah, it's hella anchored rn

Herbi life is basically no more interesting, all that was accomplished is making it easy for carnis to find players to hunt with minimal effort

Do they need to hire a Herbi consultant now? lol

#

The opressed herbis minority needs representation lmao

barren zephyr
#

It's pretty clear, and I sort of guessed from the whole biome thing too. That players could eventually predict and then wait out areas with abundant food to prey on juvies

#

Unless they'd want to grow for 6 hours for a Dryo, they'd pretty much have to go to these biomes

#

Making Afk growing, the more optimal strategy for survival

paper oriole
#

Its basically a ball and chain mechanic that does nothing but lower your chances of survival, the cons outweigh the pros for herbis due to predator packs knowing where they will go and being able to prepare ambushes

Wasn't really a deterrent to any of the Carnos I faced

paper oriole
#

Also while adding fracture to carno charge they didnt bother fixing the water exploit lol

#

Like literally, just add the aimed dismount and fix the water exploit instead of making mud puddles harder to find

barren zephyr
#

It just doesn't make sense

paper oriole
#

Then nobody is truly shafted

barren zephyr
#

Again it's the wrench, we ask for one thing
They decide to chuck the entire thing out and redo it from scratch

#

When in reality it just needed some tweaks and small additions

paper oriole
#

Occasionally they visibly use feedback but in 99% of cases its on something specific they asked for feedback on, like the solution to deino bleed

barren zephyr
#

The aimed dismount, and a tiny tiny sliver amount of invincible frames would've fixed everything wrong with pounce

paper oriole
#

It would be easier to fix a couple things than to redo it entirely wouldn’t it

#

The devs baffle me lol

#

Like why add something to a dino who was already thriving rather than fixing problems with other dinos first

barren zephyr
#

Like the water Pounce glitch

#

Like fixing Stego's still terrible matchup against any smalls

paper oriole
#

Yeah like the eater exploit, hypsi spit and dryo dodge, stego's ghostbox that can snipe people through buildings and rocks

barren zephyr
#

Or maybe idk, making Hypsi have growth and Dryo feasible playables

paper oriole
#

Hypsi should be less lame first honestly, once climbing is in ot might be worth it

#

Its a throwaway dino at its peak rn

barren zephyr
#

Though we shouldn't wait years for a beginning dino to be valuable

paper oriole
#

Its dumb that they added it so unfinished on its even current mechanics

barren zephyr
#

A speed and agility buff would fucking help

paper oriole
#

Why is hypsi so low on agility for its size anyway. Its jump is kinda lame and its spit is useless for anything but loltrolling

barren zephyr
#

Don't know, it's food for hunters that can't catch shit

paper oriole
#

Something shouldnt be playable with its only feature being “you are food”
Like yeah it is, everything is, but it should be fun to play

barren zephyr
paper oriole
#

Who is gonna pick hypsi thinking “wowee i sure cant wait to get eaten by something faster and stronger than me that has basically equal agility and jumping ability”

barren zephyr
#

But nah
Let's buff Carno for some reason....

paper oriole
#

Lmao yeah… TI_Frown

barren zephyr
#

So to order it in a shopping list, we have
Unfixed/unfinished:
Pounce on water
Hypsi
Dryo
Stego's poor defense
Phantom range Tail jabs
Carno's phantom bites
Ai..Ai...Ai
Diets making Herbi's hell
Buildings
Docks
Spawns
Nutrient bars are your enemy

Changes:
Carni friendly diets
Paper Utah with Paper attacks
Carno molded world
Buffs to Carno
Herbi "biomes" now being ambush buffets for Carni's
Unending hungry Carno stomaches

@daring remnant Magy is a small sauropod

#

it weighs a hella lot

#

having it outspeed anything is a stretch

it weighs less than tenon pretty sure

#

doubt they can make it faster than cera without shafting cera tho

daring remnant
lavish quail
lavish quail
paper oriole
#

its either slightly smaller or slightly larger than tenon, very small

#

idk if were getting 1300 magy or 1800

#

unironically id call for skunk magy over almost any other magy suggestion i see

daring remnant
paper oriole
#

in order for endurance magy to be viable, the endurance niche would need to be out of question for larger preds which would be boring

#

magy isnt human sized hed honestly be more viable if he was that small lmao

#

at least he could hide then

#

i doubt an allo or alberto will be risking anything attacking some magy

daring remnant
#

yeah, I hope they will just say "it's a waste of time, I'll leave him alone"

paper oriole
#

that aint happening

daring remnant
#

I hope

paper oriole
#

its the isle lol, kfs makes up for like half the kills in this game at least

daring remnant
#

that's true

#

the game is nice, the players are very meh

lavish quail
#

Just give magy something fun to defend itself with

paper oriole
#

carnos are mass kfsing while they have dozens of diet appropriate corpses lying around right now in qa

lavish quail
#

ew

daring remnant
#

that would make it a joke dino

paper oriole
#

it already is

daring remnant
#

still better than a punching bag

paper oriole
#

you act liek magy isnt already an absolute meme

daring remnant
#

it quite is

#

I know that

lavish quail
#

idk i like magy

#

gives us something different from 6 different types of trike

paper oriole
#

make magy spray predators in the face, fucking up their sense of smell and applying a sickness debuff and making them show up as a cloud in scent until they wash it off. then maybe people will think twice before merking the midget sauropod

daring remnant
#

atleast hypsi can hide too

paper oriole
lavish quail
paper oriole
#

magy would probably also be more effective since its a spray and not a projectile that misse s90% of the time because aiming it while under attack is suicide

paper oriole
#

nah is a predator actually is paying attention to you then using it is suicide

#

unless the predator has gnat iq function

lavish quail
#

hypsi best boi

daring remnant
#

I think the venomous spray should be like the one of the cane toad (having glands on their neck that release the venom once it get attacked in that point)

paper oriole
#

hypsi blind is decent in allied herd battles or trolling and thats basically it

lavish quail
#

You underestimate the mix pack

paper oriole
#

mix packing isnt a reliable or appropriate way to measure if something is good or not

lavish quail
#

wdym scum if a utah is chasing me down im baiting it to its death

#

herding is a better option

#

but if you kill hypsi for no reason your a moron

paper oriole
#

herbivores shouldnt need ot herd to be good playables, that is how you eliminate herds alltogether

lavish quail
#

either

lavish quail
#

we already knew that

daring remnant
#

only dryo is incomplete

paper oriole
#

imo using randoms as meat shields to divert/escape a threat isnt mix packing unless both parties are working together

lavish quail
daring remnant
#

I realized hipsy is too

#

dryo doesn't have a special ability and hypsi doesn't have climbing

paper oriole
#

dryo needs a less shitty dodge

daring remnant
#

the burrowing would be epic to have back

paper oriole
#

his special is supposed to be his dodge but it is hot garbage

lavish quail
#

you telling me you don't want Dilo troodon mix packs?

lavish quail

wdym no

paper oriole

paper oriole

dryo is fine with simple single chamber burrows

lavish quail
#

ew gross

daring remnant
#

dryo work better in an herd

paper oriole
#

certain herbis mixpacking is fine but i dont wanna see a bunch of stegos and trikes and ankys in a herd together

lavish quail
#

Your opinion on the scariest possible duo disgusts me

lavish quail
paper oriole
#

hadrosaurs mixpacking is cool, flight herbivores in general mixpacking is cool, but powerhouses should generally be single-species groupers unless they ar ejust chilling with smalls

daring remnant
#

we're all talking about mixplacking, hipsy and dryo but no one talk about how they put every good ability into the minmi?

lavish quail
#

The horror tag for the game

paper oriole
#

what does minmi do? bury itself in mud and then die?

daring remnant
#

it can

#

burrow, hide underground, and swim

#

that too

lavish quail
#

i want people to see jack shit in the night while hearing dilo calls and lots of juvi dinos

daring remnant
#

it can do f*cking everything

paper oriole
#

well to be fair it kinda needs a lot to even be viable

lavish quail
#

nothing other than giga in legacy is non viable

paper oriole
#

its not like troodon who has excess with its mimicry that it would already be viable without

#

minmi would be pretty unviable without his abilities

lavish quail
#

para too

#

know what just legacy

paper oriole
#

giga in legacy was busted as fuck

lavish quail
#

legacy is bad

paper oriole
#

taco could be good if he gets advanced burrowing and nightvision, velo and oro can become viable too imo

lavish quail
#

Magy can be viable

daring remnant
#

yes

paper oriole
#

skunk magy would be totally viable

lavish quail
#

just depends how they play their cards

#

wait tf not again isle

#

fatal errors are fun

paper oriole
#

oh yeah, then in legacy they def are trash. giga is god tier in legacy though idk who said it was unviable

daring remnant
#

giga is viable, A tier

paper oriole
#

giga is a better predator than rex unless the rex has a sub army

lavish quail
#

nono thats awful

#

mixpacking between two dinos of similar goals tho

#

for instance troodon dilo packs

paper oriole
#

the difference between carni and herbi mixpacking is carnis are all designed to pursue, track and kill, while herbis arent designed to track, are worse at pursuit and mostly geared for defense. this makes carni mixpacking way worse on average

#

they cover eachothers weaknesses much more offensively than herbis

paper oriole
#

luckily when i pick hypsi i dont give a shit if i die lol

daring remnant
lavish quail
#

imagine your a freshspawn and hear a another call, only to get baited into a trap of dilos

#

bary should be a stream dino catching fish, deino should be a river dino and sucho swamp

paper oriole
#

coastal bary pls

lavish quail
#

oooooooooh

#

thats interesting

paper oriole
#

put bary on the coast with plateo

#

coast and mangrove dwellers

lavish quail
#

i like the bary in the phase 2 video tho

#

hope was it?

#

mmmmmmmmmmmm

paper oriole
#

perhaps but i just want him on the coast whether he has shit nightvisio or great nightvision lol

lavish quail
#

arguably no since dilo and troodon have far more unique gameplay

#

ive never seen that combo and its pretty nonviable

paper oriole
#

ive never run in to a bary sucho mix either

lavish quail
#

yeah bary is just worse utah anyway

#

at least in legacy

paper oriole
#

most suchos i run in to are pretty chill compared to almost every other carni base

lavish quail
#

never seen that

#

dont think i ever will since sucho is much slower

paper oriole
#

i rarely see suchos break rules on servers that have them, dont see them mix or megapacking and the ones who go in for a long pursuit typically end up being good players

lavish quail
#

thats just viable for every dino ever tho?

#

like utah baiting something into a carno attack

#

or allo baiting to rex

#

i mean if your failing to kill a bary outside of water your a moron

#

if you are in the water your basically dead anyway

#

if he is near water mabye

#

the utahs would be trash to lose on land

#

damn those would be some bad utahs

#

they have jump bleed and health advantage

#

thats why you dont see it

#

its not useful

#

like with diets the utahs are gonna get hunted anyway

#

Carno diet is bullshit i agree

#

But it wont really

#

you assume people do this automatically

#

also am i allowed to increase brightness with Geforce?

#

you've also seen sucho bary combo

#

you've seen it all

#

wanna see something cool?

#

give the isle a few seconds

why tho

it doesnt 😦

#

nah just trying to launch the game in different ways to see if it would work

game does not launch ever, isle hates me

You genuinely wouldn’t be able to survive as micro

Nah, micro would be unkillable. You would be like a fly

question... did the carno "stomp" sounds get removed or is this a bug?

Also, are fractures present? I got hit by a carno as an adult utah and was hobbling around... couldn't move well but no icons to tell me what was happening?

Sometimes you get bugs that stop you doing stuff but I've never heard of one stopping you moving (unless you got stuck in one of the little holes)

Or against a tree

Why people want bigger map when players do not even wander most of the places we have in current map? It is really hard to find other players if you are not wandering in the popular areas. Big maps just feel empty. There is not much player interaction in this huge map. This also affects playables such as deino. Is there any good reason to play deino anymore? I mean there is a huge shallow river placed at north and now we have shallow water in south too. They even put pond and if deino tries to go there it would be suicide. If you are lucky you will interact with other players once in several hours(except other deinos that will gank and cannibalize you most probably). There is no point of playing this creature. North East of the map empty most of the time. So I think map should be smaller than this. It should include caves, hidden oasis ponds connected to deep rivers. Not endless plans imo.

#

@versed zodiac that's a joke right? Bleed doesn't do enough at all and pounce is fucked aswell so idk how those 2 are affecting you at all

barren zephyr
#

To be honest I fuckin hate big maps because you can hardly find people and it takes hours to travel to places. Like V3 in legacy was awful, was always a thenyaw person

#

Which is why I hope they're going to make a smaller map sometime soon

dense meteor
#

Right but with diets and what not people will go out and about there might be "popular" spots but eventually you'll have to go get your diet needs and that when carnis will ambush or follow you

dire ridge

At that point I was like yea there's no point

well stego is not the best example because it got a lot of blood

Is there a bug with the Utah right now? I was playing a full grown teno and a juvi (almost fresh spawn) utah came up to me and started attacking me. No matter how many times I bit, tail slapped, and bucked it off, it literally would not die. It finally killed me for the sole purpose of chasing me down anytime I would run off and bleeding me

#

Does AI constantly bark to the point of losing it's voice?

#

I'm not trying to be rude, that was a genuine question. This didn't act like any AI I've seen, so I wasn't sure if it was a bug that makes the juvi utahs godmodes or if someone was hacking. my pings been at a steady 60ish all day

@barren zephyr interesting idea! However, this simply wouldnt be viable in the isle. This will literally just be free headshots on the poor protoceratops

paper oriole
#

His bony face would probably take less damage from other smalls than bis body tho

#

If he could make single chamber burrows and block them with his face agains velos it could be a viable defense

sacred moat
#

like it cant just sit in a hole and be fine

#

thats not how the isle works

#

it would just take the velos a few extra mins to land more headshots to kill it

paper oriole
#

Ceratopsians should have no headshot multiplier

#

Also their bites would probably hurt like a bitch

sacred moat
#

i mean yeah

#

but ig we'll have to see how they do ceratopsians

sacred moat
#

they shouldnt be immune to dmg on their heads

paper oriole
#

Velo's head when he gets too close to proto in his hole TI_Troll

sacred moat
#

it should just take extreme bonecrushing force to really damage one on the head

#

^that statement goes for all ceratopsians not just proto

paper oriole
#

Ceratopsians should be one of those things you are heavily encouraged to ambush as opposed to brawling

#

||tell that to teno||

paper oriole
#

Aside from taco of course, but he should have advanced burrowing

sacred moat
#

i forget taco is related in that family

#

what a loser

paper oriole
#

Yeah hes pretty sad lol

#

But he could be cool with advanced burrows and porcupine quills

sacred moat
#

imagine it with an iguana tail whip + quills

paper oriole
#

lol it could actually make another small regret their decision maybe

sacred moat
#

imagine youre a sub rex and you accidentally step on a taco. You kill it obviously but the quills get pushed so deep in your foot that it becomes infected and now you have a limp and you die from starvation

paper oriole
#

Ngl dinos who aren’t keeping up with their diet should be more prone to infections like that. Porcupine quill wounds often get infections irl so it would make sense for taco to be able to inflict that

#

Same with cerato with all the rotten shit hell be eating, should be able to dish out infections if he eats enough carrion

sacred moat
#

ngl, id literally grow a taco with the hopes of fucking over some limp tail rex main
