Hmmmmm valid point
Titanboa would make for a good ai, just a terrifying snake that wriggles around only seeking genocide
make it like the current boar ai where they track you across the map
I want playable snake
Do we even need the heat map? You can just play the game and see the places people go or don’t go
The heat map is for devs, so they don't have to spend 80% of their time playing the game and watching where people go
none of them make sense, in what way?
You suggested 3 animals that live in cold climate
They all make sense, walrus would be good on beaches, bison are larger so they go in plains, moose are big as well so they go good in forests, if those don't make sense then none of the AI on the game currently make any sense. turtle, pig, dear, goat? The 3 I mention are larger than those 3 things serve essentially the same purpose. Also this is the isle, an island with dinosaurs on it, it's a place where any animal could live technically.
none of those animal would work well on a tropical island
it's a game
ok and
pick 3 other ones then but we need larger prey
there are other players
Well not really, since those animals could actually survive on that island, with temperatures probably ranging between 15 and 30°C. I doubt walruses would.
You suggested 3 animals from north america that all live in arcic regions or regions with harsh winters. It being a game isnt an excuse for it to be stupid and thoughtless in what it adds
What next? Polar bears?
as i said pick another 3 animals then, and your comment was pointless and stupid honestly.
Realism in a game ? Not important.
Coherence and believability ? Crucial.
So was suggesting walrus for the isle
my comment was stupid? I had no idea
Miragaia just like to bitch and complain and disagree, so i'm going to go play. peace
Personally i dont want larger modern animals that’s my take
Lmaoooo
Larger modern animals would probably instantly die anyway
Exactly
This dude gets so salty in whatever discussion I see him in lol
yeah its an island full of dinosaurs already in those niches. the one that makes the most sense is some kind of coastal animal but walruses wouldn't work at all
But honestly having the dino ai back will be the best
All these dinosaurs would totally crash a modern ecosystem, leaving mostly only fast reproducing or small and flighty animals surviving
If we were to add 3 more modern animals (too bad Silverfox left and can't read that) I would suggest foxes, monkeys and birds or snakes
ya it's a waste of time, he has no original thought of his own, instead of providing input, he just bitches... oh well.. back to game.
Snakes make sense, birds make sense, animals as small and elusive as foxes make sense
Im sorry that someone disagrees with your walrus 
case and point
I was talking about you lmao, you name call and j get real mad whereas Miragaia actually says some good points
when are you going back to the game silverfox
I would like to some some optimization on Envrima.
I go from 80 fps to 30 fps when going fast. When in battle with 4-5+ it goes to 12fps
So many stutters
Instead of giving a thoughtful argument back
Ah yes let's put a moose in a tropical environment with giant lizards. It will definitely look reasonable
i don't care if you disagree, but you can at least offer something in return, be constructive, like those animals might not work, but these will, but all you do is just disagree and then be a bitch about it.
Fr
I honestly think moose could survive in like, a cold biodome. They're both big and fast enough to not be too afraid of dinos
he'll be back in like a minute
He literally did a little later on bruh, u r like a child the way you react
lmao
Looks like you have some behavioral double standards in your accusations here
They're about 700 kg and 60 km/h iirc
But would look super out of place in Spiro's current environment
Well here's some constructive criticism.
Try more tropical/arid animal.
Gazelle, wildebeest, etc. These animals would work much better than a cold climate meat sack
any modern animal ai would have to compete with dinosaurs, keep that in mind
Well not meat sack. But carno would make a moose cry
Cape penguin in the isle 
Add polar bears
Honestly we'll just have to wait and see how the dino ai turn out
sloth AI that occasionally drops food items from canopy for herbis to enjoy wen
Unironically cape penguin would be better than walrus
yep
whenever they r done working on them and reintroduce them
Aren't there some species of penguins that handle hot climates very well ?
They are south african
Who would win. A full grown orca or a max size deinosuchus
who knows
Add some parakeets for ptera
Orca, given their intelligence
croc would run out of energy like the useless reptile it is and die
Theres another penguin from Australia called fairy penguin or something. Better than walrus
Orcas are better swimmers, so... I'd say in deep water, where it has the advantage of speed and mobility, orca wins
In shallow water or on land, deino definitely wins
There is one thing that really triggers me with penguins tho... but it's because I'm french
Well I mean, obviously it would win on land
Explain
do french people eat penguins or something???
plz
wouldn't put it past them ngl
Cape fur seals better than walruses. Another south african species
And this is "un pingouin"
Precious
But since in english they're both called "penguins", a lot of french people do the mistake and call "manchots" "pingouins" so when they're faced with an actual pingouin, they're absolutely confused
Yes, a game without those environments
it doesnt make much sense to add fucking walruses unless you want an arctic map
wow still going huh
And most french people can't tell the difference between manchots and pingouins at all just because they share the same name in another language
so what did you decide then?
Have moved on, thank you very much
Ah I get it now, thx
so penguins
Weird french people get confused from something in another language but ig because english is so popular or sumn
Idk why they even removed dryo ai
gazelle are tiny though
The other ai was the problem
need some stuff that is larger
for like full grown carnos and eventually when rex and giga are in game etc
Rex and giga shouldnt be sustaining themselves with ai
Apex predators should be strongly encouraged to pvp especially once theyre done with juvi stage
Deer and boars are sufficient
dinosaurs (be it ai or players) should be forming a bulk of the ecosystem
Thats a food value problem partially
dino ai will make return later on, with current server slots it would be impossible to support all factions
^ this
ya should be like 1 deer would give you a good fill on carno it's larger than the carno stomach
its still a balance related issue
...?
for carno
boar isn't diet item, unless they changed it in the last day or so
but ya balance issues for sure
we just dont need more non-dinosaur AI species exactly
Imo spino shouldn't be able to sustain itself on fish either
the only exception I can come up with is possibly sea lions or fur seals, and even then we already have turtles on beaches
Coastal niche delegation
?
That's being fixed
i was just thinking a big fat walrus would be fun to hunt and could give tons of food, or maybe just something like sharks in the ocean, but they don't come on land obviously. sea lions would be cool, but ya small.
If you want that, sea lions can fit the role perfectly
they are actually pretty damn big
as long as they fix the issue with everything swimming at 90mph
how big do they get?
200lbs?
so 181 kilos at max in the case of males
its a decent meal for something like a raptor, cerato or a carno
it would be coastal, unlikely u see any super predators at coasts
We don't see anything at coast cause there's a mountain and cliff in the way
ya was just going to say depends on how easy they make it to get to the coast.
wonder what they have planned for the ocean
sharks, orcas? Whales?
I mean does it necessarily matter? Not like we’re really going to be able to go into the ocean unless an aquatic dlc comes out, and that’ll be the year 2078
Right after we get Cyberpunk in real life
Hey guys, do you know when wii be the new map on live servers???
When the balance patch drops but we dont know when
ahhhhh :/
How would it catch things
It would hunt literally anything
Cherry, Deino, etc
I definitely believe there are 3 major things holding me back from switching fully to evrima:
-
Bigger scarier carnivores! There isn't anything more terrifying than hearing huge footsteps coming towards you.
-
Skin customization (I know we are getting this hopefully soon)
-
My computer not sounding like it's about to take off when playing. (My PC is a good one even)
Also, I agree that there should be more than just palm trees and a few bushes in the open places. I find myself not even wanting to risk going out there because of the lack of coverage....
-
Too bad we aren't getting those for a very long time. Carno is the biggest terrestrial carnivore we are getting, Deino the biggest playable carnivore. Rex is going to be AI. The roster can't handle a big carnivore.
-
That's next update
-
That's just optimization, being worked on presently.
Here is the evrima roster (rex is AI)
@cedar glen alligators commonly eat other alligators, so do crocodiles
I would send proof of it but I don't think it'd be allowed because of rule 5
Rex is confirmed be AI only?
No rex wil be playable but it wil be ai first
Pue is the only dino from legacy that wont make it to evrima
Everything from legacy (including sandbox creatures) is returning except puertasaurus
i really like watching people get extremely hostile over people disagreeing with them on minor suggestions lmao this chat has been a ride
Isle players
W
oof people dont like my feedback, but why? all im saying is, we gotta stay hydrated my friends
rivers
they are adding more rivers so you still can stay hydrated without the need for oasis or shallows
ok so thats to the oasis part, but you gotta agree with me here, shallows should just vibe for the serenity
They are nice looking but they suffer the same issue of "viable water source"
bruh, at this rate there will be no shallow water, its gonna get old so fast
Nah man, no shallow water means people actually going places
also the rivers are closer than shallows so surely keeping for aesthetics is good, they want pretty game shit
i can only stay around a puddle for so long before i start to hate it
Anyway this just brings me back i guess to the other day, removing shallow water from everywhere is just gonna piss people off in the long run, who arent the group of people who play deino
i want to explore more than 10% of the map without starving because all the food and water is in one dumb place
the ones who yell the loudest "WE CANT HUNT IN SHALLOW SO GET RID"
Its gonna be so stale tho, no shallow water for RP, no shallows to vibe in
thats lame af
Oasis sucked for more than just deinos. It was outright impossible to hunt anything as any carnivore because ALL herbivores stayed around oasis
no no, im not talking about oasis here
And as a herbivore you couldn't explore because all your food was near, you guessed it, oasis
im just saying shallow water in general, its going the way of no shallow water anywhere
I mean, it's more interesting than having a single thing of shallow water that no one ever fucking leaves
I dont want the choice to be on land or im swimming, no dip the toes
its about the RP my guy, like, anything not deino gets kicked to the curb, no water play for you, drink n leave, what is this, strict private servers?
frankly im so bored of shallow water as all animals i fully embrace this
also, whens the last time you saw an expanse of land as big (in theory) as envrima, with no shallow water, at all
idk i dont visit large expanses of uninhabited land but i'll tell you what, it's probably more likely than you think
theres at least going to be intermittent pools during rain but i doubt that will ever be a thing
I mean, it seems to be about the size if not a bit smaller than tasmania, australia, where i live
and theres shallows, theres deep rivers n dams
i also live in aus and that is NOT a good example of "large rivers"
bruuuh you been in some of those rivers
this place is the second driest continent on earth
😉
well my point being, theres diversity in water depth
having only deep water is stale, boring and pandering to the deinos to a degree
ill also just add, you wont change my mind, i will always advocate for water diversity, sorry fam
Dm be gentle, pls, youve been typing for ages lol
They are literally making it in the weather update so water raises and lowers, in the update you will have too much water lol, they said floods is gonna be a thing as well as droughts, fires ect
the only reason shallow area's "should" be put back in is when droughts are a thing that gradually drains them over time so that way there's at least some breaks from constantly worrying about Deino. otherwise they have no reason to exist currently since players will just flock to these guaranteed safe spots as we've seen with both shallows and oasis
Whoops responded to the wrong comment
This is what I wanted to respond to lol
what if we just, remove all the players, cant have people flocking to one spot if theres no one to flock
double ping 
yes, shallow area's primarily hurt Deino gameplay but having one hotspot is generally more boring than multiple area's players flock to for activity
anyway, people are gonna flock, no matter what, no matter where, theres always safety in numbers first and foremost
weve seen it time and again, on every map rendition weve had, since the old days, people flock to one or 2 spots, its where the friends are, its an easy spot to get to or even the food or water, flocking happens.
the best this will do is stop the incessant deino complaints about specifically oasis
I wont hold my breath that the next place people flock to, that has water, and lots of herbis who protect eachother.... wont have deinos begin taking up arms again
no one's saying there shouldn't be any kind of hotspot in the map. just that it shouldn't be like shallows and oasis
Also a higher abundance of said hotspots would be nice too
Yeah but as I said, people will always go to the same place, until they take it away, then they find the new one spot, rinse and repeat, for several years
people camping shallows was old
the question then becomes, at what point will the same routine finally end, when will the devs finally be like "ok weve changed it X amount of times, thats enough deal with it"

probably when a heat map shows that everyone is exploring
though if rivers are more common then i guess exploration would be easier than it is now
It will never come to fruition like that though, as the days draw on people will congregate in one spot again
creatures of habit as we are, we find the easiest way and then we stay with that
games aside for that one
i mean them making diet plants not all stay one spot already should help sperate ppl
we can only hope i guess
I guess a nice alternative would be water only baby and juvie dinos can drink, they are already pointing it in the direction of being nigh impossible to live as a baby in the future if you dont have a gang already, so at least the water for the babies
think of the children... the children i say
They said impossible for apex juvies
Pretty sure juvie utah if anything would be easier to grow when climbing comes
did that guy just say crocs are not cannibals
not only would it make deino's life harder but crocs ARE in fact cannibals
deinos are gonna kill other deinos even if they cant eat the body, youd just have more starving deinos
its already a bore to play
sit by an ambush spot in an active area to see somebody drink 500 yards away lmao
finally catch something, get like 30% food, hope its on your diet
if they dont wanna get cannibalized they should play something else, even herbis and utahs kfs eachother so they aint gonna be happy anyway
yeah then they can just fly away from anything and never deal with pvp in a pvp survival game
also wtf does he want taco ai back
Taco AI would be great
hard to explore with no tacos when you spawn in hungry? sea turtles and boars are the effortless free full diet for juvis
If it could burrow and had poisonous quills
god i hope taco gets advanced burrowing
he deserves better burrows than anyone else
nah thats why he needs advanced burrowing
no way they can make taco fast with those stubby ass little legs
quills thoe
just shove its spiny ass in velo's face
ehh could troodon even git in a taco burrow
taco playable however is far greater
I remember someone say deino should only get nutrients from already dead ones and not ones you killed 
LMAO i remember that
i was there arguing with them
Man we get lots of uh.. lots of special ideas here
i think i have it in my archives
Show
imo for a lot of carnis, cannibalism shouldnt punish, it just shouldnt reward
If you're gonna kill your kind for fun at least let the killer eat you
Kinda sucks to lose your silence and get debuffs for eating when you needed or etc
for some highly social carnis i understand but most others shouldnt be so discriminate, they're reptiles after all
in cases where cannibalism causes sickness it also takes quite a lot of it
cus pt is a throwaway animal
lol i killed a fresh spawn pt with mine and just carried his body off and threw it in the ocean
his body stretched and glitched out while it fell, prime entertaiment. woulda been nice if i coulda eaten him without beig punished
proceed to both collide
ram in to spam caller pts, do the server a service
I remember pouncing a ptera and it took off to hundreds of meters and when i fell i didnt die somehow
the isle
Suicide to save the world

kamikaze
a lot of PT players still waste hella stam too so its funny when they actually drop all the way, try to do it over rivers so maybe you can do a deino a favor
wrong opinion
Verticle lunge is the buff deino needs cus bird go dead
^
skunk magy and sea cucumber magy are the only good endings for magy
Yautja Magy
B-but magy faster than allo and has a 50 50 with cerato (thats if you find a solo cera somehow) plus magy taste bad
did kissen ever follow up after saying magy was gonna be fast and the reel proving her comment wrong
Just make eating magy insta oof you and smelling it makes you vomit 
Then you wont bother it as much
Give Magy invisibility, omnivore diet, and laser cannon. And able to hang up apex corpses from trees.
That poor carnivore who smelled magy
make it so if you bite a magy it summons a meteor strike at your location
Make magy be a type h dino at 100% ggez
win win situation
something that would be interesting is chameleon magy
i made a suggestion for chameleon magy a while back
Make it so seeing magy causes server crash that resets everyones dino
maybe i can find it
lemme see pls
Slender Magy. Distorts player view and causes death if you look at it too lonng.
And let magy teleport too
And make it so it teleports you to fnaf 1
And you have to close doors to not get magy jumpscare
i like the 10 puke reacts lmao
Magyaorosaurus, the 8 Dondis
oooh i see, that suggestion was pretty good. BUT the new scent system would fuck it over so badly
yeah new scent system op lol
Imagine rex walking you down until you have no stamina and to be at its mercy
Cus of scent system
magy's future
Terminator Tyrannosaurus Rex
they took the giga problem from legacy and made it possible for almost any carni with good mobility
Endurance Rex is honestly horrifying.
bring in gigashark
Like the good ol days.
i think once somebody suggested re bite to literally explode things
imma see if i can find it
Make magy smell bad too so it’s harder to track lmao
let rex throw its hit box at you bc it violently shook its head in a circle
Make it so smelling it causes vomiting ggez
Eating means insta death
Magy becomes 10% more viable
wouldnt that make it easier to track?
Let rex tail have a bite hitbox
Yes but it taste bad
Magy will be fine
MILK
So unreal 5 could let isla spereo return?
spino absorbs the milk banjo
waterbend the milk banjo
Let giga be able to make mountains of poop to let it have the high ground
In update 10047372 ofc
ark giga with maximum poop interval setting
Give isle giga beserk mode
it lags the whole server but is immune to the lag itself
upsize giga to ark giga size
Let humans summon ponies with the power of friendship
humans can tame the boars and ride them
These ponies should be able to shoot lazers at the dinosaurs
Give Giganotosaurus the ability to pick up T.Wreck's and throw it despite T.Rex weighing more.(this is a joke)
we can fix that with the much needed ark upsize
Let giga face tank rex
Even with giga weaker bite
God... remember when they gave Giga BONEBREAK in Legacy??
That was op
give giga fracture and bleed and make him immune to fracture if he eats enough protein shake ai
Let giga shoot venom into already wounded victems causing insta death
Let giga have camoflauge
Let giga be semi aquatic
Let giga be able to have an atomic breath
Make giga 100m tall
give giga a proportionate hypsi level jump and utah style pounce ability so it can properly 1v1 brachiosaurus like he did irl
spino moment
Spino is rex halloween costume
we don't need spino, spino is obsolete
Add godzilla tho
giga can be both spino and rex
Godzilla very viable and balanced
yeah but hes a bit op so he should have a 30 minute longer growth than allo
Just make it so humans can craft the oxygen destroyer and put it in a water source godzilla chills at
Thus allowing godzilla to get insta killed
Make him grow faster than compy
Compy doesn't have growth lolololol
Thats the point...
Might as well rename the isle to kaiju universe
Oh I know make it a dev creature and when things get out of hand the Devs will zapify everything in existence
I had one bad experience that was completely out of the devs control. BAD GAME BAD DEVS IMMA PLAY BOB!!!!!+++!+!!!!!!!+!!!+++++++!!!!+!!!!!!!!
I love how he sited PoT where the revenge kill and alt dino problem is 1000x worse
You gotta give me that collection
I wanna re experience them
Ill probably make a video compilation soon i have a decent buildup
His feedback disappeared. I am saddened at the thought of how much gold i am not here to catch on time
Hmm yes i should add that
It'll be 60/40 MrBlunt submissions in your video 
I wonder how much blunt feedback is in my archive lol i know theres some good frosty feedbacks in there
👌
That conversation with blunt was the most braindead conversation I've ever had the misfortune of participating in
I've had the displeasure of being in many balance conversations with him so I cant say that
I'm not sure about his ideas of balance
Don't insult people
Blunt is frosty 2
I don't care how much you disagree with someone, it's no excuse to belittle them
Ok sorry
I believe I've already given you two this warning @paper oriole @manic flint
Wait when
I didnt insult anyone here
I just said i collected his feedback cus its funny
I just said I disagreed with his all ideas so far
I made sure to not insult him this time
My internet died when I tried to say this and when it came back and I saw the blue name I cried inside a little 
Saying you're collecting feedback because it's "funny" is extremely belittling and has no purpose being discussed in this server
I suppose, i'll stop that ig
All it shows is that these people's opinions have no value outside of giving you a laugh
Thank you
I don't understand why people still think Carno should be super strong
I honestly don't understand anymore
It's like because carno is 200kg heavier it's automatically 10 times stronger in their minds or something
Teno should be the max size prey
And even that should be a bad idea to engage without a good plan/ambush
2 carnos take a teno, 1 carno may die
1 carno with a charge is like a 50/50
If the teno sees it though it's definitely teno favour
The win condition of herbivores should be to spot the carnivore
The win condition of the carnivore is to get a good ambush (this only applies if they are the same approximate size)
Of course the actual combat requires skill
But being seen or not throws the benefit of the engagement into the herbis and carnis respectively
Teno wins 60/40 ish if it spots the carno
If carno gets a charge ambush, the odds go to 50/50
If the carno brings a friend the odds go to 30/70
And so on
B-but carno is slightly heavier?! It needs to grab teno and pin it to insta kill it because its realistic???!!!
B-b-but it's the apex?n?! It h-has to be as-as strong as Rex
Roster issue lol
Lets
Aka the worse dilo
Troodon: has overused boring stamina draining venom.
Dilo: cool hallucinogenic venom that cause the prey to be disoriented so the dilo can bite more
3 troodons kill a teno
Teno can 2-3 shot troodon with its bite 
Teno turn speed
Troodon low profiles all tenos moves
Anyone who thinks less than 5 troodon could kill a teno are on something
i like how you have tag about magy being useless whilst simultaniously advocating for troodon of all things
The concept arts tend to be bias towards the subject to show it off (which is reasonable)
How big is Troodon again?
35 kilos
Upsize to 50kg for stenony so teno bite doesn't 1 shot it
+apply almost certain head hits due to small size
I really think troodon could only be either way to strong or absolutely useless.
They picked the worst niche for troodon.
But "they had venomous troodon in the movies"
Use the Alaskan one
personally i dont see much value in troodon aside from having interactions with humans such as climbing ventilation shafts and stuff
That was 4 meters long and 2 meters tall
So then no more horde troodon and we are left with worse dilo
Damn
Use the other one
Not Steny but the other one
How big is that one?
I personally think that troodon is an overused animal that has no place in the game
Okay... still no horde troodon. And it would end up as a weird life child of utah and dilo
Damn
We either get huge pack paper mache troodon (unviable) or dilo clone
Troodon is...
-
A waste of server slots
-
An unviable mess that would need to be unreasonably strong to serve its niche
-
A washed up dilo if they upsize it.
Troodon is just a mess that was probably only added cause it was popular
It's a novel idea but it won't work at all
Unfortunately
Trood is pretty small
Smaller than all these
But supposed to fight teno???
@summer phoenix the global chat could be made costumizeable thru server configuration, so the community of each server could choose to have it enabled or not? offical ofc disabled as default lol
well yea pretty much, and im also just suggesting global chat for just in general not for just nesting purposes
@signal beacon by the way, what if you're already in game? how will you be able to know there's eggs available since you can't enter character menu without being dead? 🤔
I don't know about that tho.. might be used easier for targeting because everything is closer and everyone around you know that too?
Well you already have a dino. If you could take eggs while in game imagine all the body denying. And if your dino dropped dead if you took an egg, people would be constantly feeding themselves to others like that
in which if that nest button is for looking at other nest then my mistake, in which i thought before that button was originally for looking at your own nest, sense its been said before that you can invite people to your nest, rather than pick and choose.
Hm, thats true points. I would like if the devs then made a HUD or Menu you can check while in game, to see available eggs and then decide if you want to keep on playing your animal, or kill yourself ig because no other way to get egg.. 🤷🏼 😅
I think nesting will be like
-
Person is in character select screen.
-
They click on nest
-
They look for a nest of a dino they want to play.
-
They click on it and request to join.
-
The parents decide weather or not to let you join
-
If they accept you, you then get nested in
i mean to be honest, thats actually a pretty good and simple idea, to where theres little to no problems
Oh you killed your attacker? Here are some debuffs 
Some stupid ass velo bit your para and you oneshot it? Too bad, time for infection
You are forced to stand your ground and trade hits as a slow defensive herbivore? Punishment for existing
One of his reasons is literally "so herbivores dont kill carnivores and chose to run and injure"
That kind of mindset just makes me cringe
All the slower herbivores should be running away from me rawr xd why do herbivores fight they eat grass they should just run and die
How the hell is a trike supposed to run? A stego? An anky? Literally any herbivore slower than its predators? With the OP as shit tracking system that carnis have now especially?
And why should they run, they have weapons
This is on par with "pachy should only be crippling utah then running away"
Herbivores should be pacifists that always give their vicious killers a second chance! And a third chance… and a- ope now that got them killed
They literally asked to prevent herbivores from tanking hits. Well fuck anky, trike, shant, sauropods, literally every large herbivore
lol, its no like you would get an infection right away. there would be a decent amount of time to get to a mud pool to wallow
Still. It's super punishing for animals merely defending themselves
“You wouldn’t get it right away” means jack shit. You are being punished for defending yourself, especially against shit you cant run from
Why should i wallow every time some stupid rat scrapes me
If you dont wallow right after a fight you become useless
There are so many herbivores that specialize in soaking damage. They are ment to tank hits
Another layer of unfun, tedious and useless bs that's all that would be
Sounds pretty damn exploitable too
the idea was to give some more risk to fights and was thought up for a couple of minutes, so yeah. Just wanted to get the idea out there
We don’t need heavily faction skewed rng bs to do that
What is rng...
Random number generator. Basically, its legacy fracture, or drop chances on raid bosses. % chance something will happen
The kind of system that can punish somebody who kills a boss 100 times by giving them nothing, but then someone can get lucky on their first try. It is even more terrible in combat situations
lol i would totally take eggs and then kms just to debuff some poor nester out of boredom
Exploitable
Also I don't think buffs for nesting are a good idea
I always say realism is secondary in videogames, but getting buffs from nesting really sounds too gamey
Debuffs for having babies die is even worse
Debuffs for dead babies sounds like trollbait
In legacy i often saw people nest-hop or kill themselves just to annoy nesters for the lols, this just sounds like another method to add to the list
ah yes when your baby dies your dino gains permanent depression
it explains why the debuff
heres a not so hot, hot take.... fresh spawns are being shafted, if youre unlucky you spawn in a place where youll die of starvation or dehydration, if youre mega unlucky, youll die quickly to either spawn camping or chad-boars... something to help baby dinos survive would be more beneficial, than the punishment they will be/are getting. or as mentioned, increase them spawn zones
stego courting just made me sad more than anything 
Stego should prioritize its plates as the attraction tool. Even lifting or curling its tail to really show its strong-health as a suitable mate.
Likewise I wish there was short aggression or retaliatory animations if two males did the calls to each other. If a male performed the mating invite to another male it would be aggressive and the rival male's response was threatening.
This could then start the challenger/alpha fights instead of nesting.
the threaten roar works better as a courting animation than the actual court animation
Exactly
Why doesnt stego flex its plates or tail
Why doesnt carno flex its horns
Why doesnt utah flex its atheletic body to show its in its prime
Why doesnt teno show how powerful it is to be worthy of a mate
Why doesnt deino use mating animations based on irl gators instead of looking like an aggro
Why doesnt hypi focus more on showing its feathers and its ear thing

this about perfectly fits a suggestion for courting anims I made a while ago
carno.. .flex its horns? those arent appendages my guy, aint no movin those spoilers
I bet pachy's courting is just gonna be some head shake
Why do people want the 6 ton animal to wave stagnant plates around like they're fingers lmao. Stego's court anim fits perfectly with stego, it's a huge, bulky creature
the plates shake a bunch as it walks
Stego wallow animation

I think it should go sideways to show you know, full glory
glass shatter
Dont think stego flexing its plates more would ruin it that much...
They should make so when stego falls on something during the animation said thing dies 
doesn't need to flex its plates, just have them wobble around like in the walk animation
Also what happened to that female stego model?
I also think its sound should be like, low throaty sound, like that bird in NZ that makes the pit where it bellows for miles
mystery
I wonder how broken would random birth defects or mutations be
Like imagine finding an oddly large utah
birth defects is a no from me fam
we dont need THAT much realism
also, rng would be such a bitch, people would just spam kill themselves til they werent shafted
a utah with a spinosaurus spine
mom's gonna have some explaining to do
ik we dont but im just saying a what if world
still would be irl levels of rare i hope so eh
how would that even work...
please, don't make me go in detail

ripping and tearing

NA1 went down at a vital time
@paper oriole We're getting Courting #phase-two-archive forever
we have to deal with this reality


please devs have mercy
Ngl birth defects is one of the funniest and most genuinely interesting suggestions I've heard of.
I think it honestly would be fine if it was only 2 or 3 mutations with more subtle tradeoffs, maybe even special skin/pattern mutations
I hope at least nesting an albino baby or megalistic one is possible by chance
pt is already a braindead playable and this dude wants it to be even more braindead lol
No fr
also if anything, survival hindering defects like albinish/leucism should be limited to nesters with bad health, if anything. and people should be able to see the colors, perks and condition of the parents in the nesting menu so they can pick their risks
would suck to take and egg and get slapped with an albino skin with no way to avoid the risk
could just not look at the parents' info to do that lol
and if you pick parents with shit conditions or bad egg conditions then you might get slapped with an all white "eat me" skin
melanistic is arguably less damning than an albino skin especially for a forest animal
@limber hull the plates swing around like crazy when walking and running especially the ones on the tail in game, so i figured the devs wanted to make them seem more flexible, and if they be flexible then why not give them the ability to move em
There's a difference between jiggling due to movement and flexing plates like there's muscle dedicated to moving them. Stego courting animal still lame as hell though, as it's basically just a nod. I think something more along the lines of the male showing off its side, slightly raising its tail and subtly curling it while shaking its body a little bit added with a loud gutteral gurgle/bellow and light clawing at the ground would be better.
Shows off the male's size, health and signature features(plates and thagomizers).
This isn't really dedicated towards any single one person so much as just the idea of Stego twitching and intentionally flexing its plates like fingers.
Yes.
For magy's court it should just die
Melanism actually increases success rates for some predatory animals like jaguars
and overall melanistic animals have greater fitness
for magy's courting animation it should just spontaniously combust, sending itself and hopefully its targeted mate back to the selection screen
yeah its not bad for forest and nocturnal animals where they can blend in with the shadows easier, it would kinda suck for a coastal or arid animal though
each magy egg should have a set percent chance to explode, destroying the entire nest
good ending
When you select magy your game should crash
Ggez
instead of loading in as a magy the game just crashes and uninstalls
Hovering your mouse over magy on character select should brick your pc

What if magy...
Elder made him bigger than a brachi

But kept same stats

if somebody hits elder on magy then 69 random files on their computer are wiped
Dw guys magy taste bad will save your files
magy will make your files taste bad so they dont work
When magy comes out ima make a army of ceras to hunt them to extinction since magy gonna be faster than giga
im not even gonna go cera to do it im gonna bait magy as stuff like kentro or tenonto and then kick its ass
then leave their body to rot away in the hot sun
Dw cera will eat it 
i can feed my cera friends
i'll buy cera bodyguards with the corpses of magy
magy will be currency in the isle
Cera: thats 5 magy bucks teno....
Teno: ill pay extra proceeds to pull out 100 magy bucks
Cera: heh thats what i like to see
Teno: okay i think should be enough for you to bodyguard against utahs
Gonna have to record each kill... rip lower end pc's
Lol
a true econnomic utopia
Humans gonna find a way to make magy bucks value lower
mercs are going to hunt magy to sell their neck flaps on the chinese black market
bary looks more bleedy while cera looks like a raw damage guy so cera would probably win initially, depending on how fast bary is
either way, magy dies
Amarga would of been a cool choice for a herbivore imo
amarga, shuno, or baja. even ampelo woulda been cooler
they look cooler and actually have built in defense
even that weird sauro with the short neck woulda been cooler, brachy something
amarga and baja both have spike mohawks
baja's face forward, amarga's face backward
im excited for it, closest thing im gonna get to miragaia
Ppl take the whole defense of it too far imo
miragaia is like 3 tons i think and it has a long ass neck
I think utahs could still pounce kentro if they aim right
thing is, utah pounce cant be aimed because it has a socket
Sounds like pounce needs a bit more things
it really does
but i dont mind kentro being basically pounce-proof. not everything needs to be able to be attacked one way
however they go about it
rex when it picks up a kentro
i mean, the kentro would still die to rex
but taking reflective damage might be a good deterrent, the harder you hit, the more damage you take back from kentro
so it might just not be worth the effort for a tiny meal
Amarga and Bajada get absolutley
Invert camera is the same as invert mouse?
Hey, does anybody have a problen with camera not turning around at all?
For those of you experiencing issues with your keybindings or other controls;

Relaunch the game
Thank you fixed for me 😁
this game
are we getting pranked
trolled even?
fuckin
removed shallows, great, makes 1/3 of center completely shallow
@weak hill why do you disagree with sinos suggestion if you dont mind me asking?
I actually don’t like that they got rid of a lot of the shallow areas (I say this as someone who has played somewhere between 30-40 hours of deino). I felt that the shallower areas created a nice dynamic growing up as a deino. There were certain spots an adult deino could never wait to ambush but 75% and below could. I do think that it was too extreme and I would have liked them to make some more deeper areas, or even just some deeper channels to move around easier.
I think the shallow area at oasis was way too much and one of the worst parts of that area but as far as the rivers I like it @unreal plover
they're full of little shallow patches that make it so deinos cant patrol stealthily, easy crossing for any other dinos, for balance all rivers should be deep imo. having a spot where you always know you can drink safe from deinos is bad map design
Imo they probably coulda just added some deep pockets to that stretch rather than outright remove that scenic area. Oasis had to go but that river area looked very nice
Even deepening the whole stretch would have been preferable to deleting it
yea they really couldve just made it deeper
my utah cant eat hyelp
Did you try turning it off and back on again
turning what on and off
Did they remove the whole gorge?
I don’t agree with that either. Having safe spots from deinos that people lean towards creates spots for other carnivores as well, and in the future gives bary a place to rule. I just personally think it creates a healthier ecosystem for the whole roster. Once again it’s not that I don’t think the rivers needed tweaked for deinos, I think they did, but I don’t think having shallow spots totally invalidates deino, I ambushed plenty of Dino’s drinking while oasis existed, I’m sure I will continue to with a few spots of rivers being shallow
PS: I totally understand why you and many other people feel differently about it, and respect why they feel that way, it’s just not how I personally feel about it.
just a reminder going by the feedback message..... you dont have to just.... not eat things that arent on the diet, if you want to eat a deino, eat it, all it will do is not fill the cores, itll fill the stomach still 
why would deino even be on a utahs diet
baby ones i guess
ok ima just say this update is amazing
when i saw new patch i expected a small bug fix or something
not map changes or stat stuff seesh
hold your horses, its only just dropped, give it some time before saying its amazing 
Yeah babies are snacks and subs are a nice challenge, haven't been able to kill an adult since update 3 tho, even when my pack has found them far on land
with oasis gone, its definitely going to be less likely to see babies. or subs crossing on land now
Sure, but they'll probably still be ballsy enough to come and steal food left by other land creatures
music gives me disney sneaky music ngl
carnotaurus stamina seems to have been decreased actually. As a hatchling it depletes extremely fast. And the camera position (view) is much closer, which isn't ideal. Are these just my impressions?
@sturdy widget dont have a pack of 8 then, sounds like pack size control to me
I think the juvi stamina was pretty heavily overtuned. Think they just fixed that.
Across the board.
It's like until exactly 25% you could run forever.
I mean that's the actual limit, if the devs want lower numbers they should make it so
A ptera can't even feed half that
pteras dont give much food in general, it always blows my mind for example when a maxed deino nabs a baby ptera lol
god, ive made it to the removed shallows area, it really doesnt look nice
they could have added some aesthetics or something, it just... looks like a removed river thats for sure
i 100% support this idea but just make sure it doesnt become BoB saichania ☠️
Idk about reflective damage- imo kentro should just be faster than a rex lol
i think it just... makes sense to have reflective damage
Its spike should just deter mid tiers at max and run from larger things
it'd be really weird for something to bite a kentro right on the spikes and have nothing happen
That isn't reflective damage (unless I'm reading it wrong). Reflective damage to me is- getting hit- and sending that damage back
oh well i dont know how else to phrase it
by that i mean getting hit, taking the damage, but dealing damage back
so you're reflecting damage back on the thing that hit you
Yeah I could see that to a degree. As long as it isn't 100% of the damage. Lets say an alberto with 350n bite attacks a kentros spikes- it shouldn't receive 350n damage back.
that would make kentro broken
if it was 100% dmg return
Exactly. I would be fine with it to a degree (the damage return thing, not the 100% damage)- however it may not be implemented. I think a easy way is to receive a set damage depending on how fast you came into contact. So walking, running, trotting etc.
I assume large carnivores could probably just trample kentro though
Would allo and alberto be able to trample kentro 
that would prob be like walking on a lego
and will trample have knockdowns 
trample sounds like it will make pvp for smalls almost impossible lol
like couldnt utah or teno just trample troodon pack?
yep
why use charge when you could trample utah and bite em
That's the thing- charge would be useless then if tramples did knockdowns (which it should, since it makes sense)
i think only certain dinos should have trample
Like if a thing many times your size runs into you, you'll fall over
They said trample will be universal
anyone else having a hell of a time latching onto stuff as a ptera while using airbreak?
but all dinos having it could become a mess...
imagine killing your baby by mistake lol
before update i could do it just fine but now...
That will likely be a thing
Haven't tried it unfortunately
how will utah watch their babies who are smaller than the grass when fresh
nametag sure but...
They tell their babies to stay in the nest and to not move from it
its so weird, i either alt attack in the air somehow or i just hit the surface and fall
if they make trample happen only when running i would be somewhat ok
it would give smalls a better chance since running all the time to try and trample would be dumb
Has it been different when you relogged?
I hope it isn't busted
same no matter what, i dunno what the deal is, maybe i suddenly became shit I dunno
Haven't seen anyone else talk about this problem- but latching is pretty situational so 
also to chime in on your convo, not everything needs to be 50/50 for fighting, gotta be some herbs that are just no touchy for anything but select dinos
but their actual attack is weak, so its like, it cant fight you per se, but you hunting it is just a bad time
What if select animals are significantly larger. Lets say the large mid tiers (allo, alberto) want a kentro
With future systems
i dunno, ive not thought that far ahead, i just like the idea of essentially porcupine dinos
Also kentro should have a 1.5x headshot instead of a 2x imo
Nothing like stego- since its small
nothing bothers with porcs except a select few, because ouchie, but porcs themselves cant really do a lot of damage by actually attacking, its all defense dependent on the predator doing the attack or attempted attack
thatd be a nice variation to the status quo
an example would be, utahs would do no damage to kentro, but instead be damaged doing their attacks, by being impaled, kentro doesnt do damage itself, its like, passive attacking, but in comes i dunno, a future systemed big boi like (for absolute argument sake not saying just this) a rex came in, it could kill a kentro but it would still take some damage, so a trade off, food traded for injury that makes you now weakened and potential prey to something else
a calculated risk you could say
imo- if it's feasible to kill (a rex killing a kentro) then kentro should be faster
anywho just a spitball ive not thought about this until literally just now LOL
All good
could work, could be utter shit, who knows 
The difference though is a porcupine really has no other ways of attacking, but kentro does. It would look a bit stupid for kentro to have no actual attacks, so reflective damage and active attacks would just need to be balanced
i gotta agree with resuru on that one, i as a full grown ptera, hit a fresh utah that came up and attacked me, not even me hunting it, and it was like killing a turtle, prior to the most recent update, situationally pt really cant do shit, sure it can fly off, but, why cant we punish fresh utahs who just run up on us? i dunno. ive given up on pt balance, i play them but as its said, im just a spectator on the game at this point
as I said mira, just a spitball, i didnt even think kentro was coming to the isle LOL 
How does pachy suck it got more buffs than nerfs lmao
I guess we can think of it as a safety trade off? kentro cant be hunted by certain dinos because just attacking a kentro would be a death sentence so the trade off is, passive gameplay? I really dunno here LOL
full grown carno pretty much rolls it if it sees it
How
carno go brr
because carno isnt garbage now
the attack cancellation is gone
pachy go X_X
and pachy cant stun cancel everything
It isn't, they just took away the exception on the tap ram
You actually need to use charged ram now
Because it was frankly really dumb
Which takes a lot of stam- and can leave you open a lot more. also it is easier to dodge as carno
I'm just saying it from the carnos perspective- haven't played pachy but it seems easier to kill them 
Is teno still OP or nah
Also any fracture will just mean the carno's fucked up big time lmao.
Teno is fine, people just need to adjust to not tail spam
They buffed body fracture a lot yea?
At least now- pachy can't really kill carnos
The kick is where it's at now. Slam is better for distance
It can run though after fractures though
Yea, it's really good, 2x stam consumption on everything
Slam for Utah's, kicks for carnos?
Yeah my stam went down crazy fast
That means that pachy can get a fracture and run yea?
Pachy can't kill carno anymore so pachy plays like it's supposed to?
Also a pachy is capable of knocking a carno out of charge using a ram to the head, stunning it and allowing another pachy to get a free hit. IDK if you guys knew this but it's neat tech
solo pachy can't now from my experience
also carno death squads everywhere
I mean, carno should beat solo pachy imho. Pachy has massive herd sizes, around the same as utah's packs, and prospers in teams
its like a pancake flip, one side was pachy kill squad the other is carno kill squad, well never win 
pachy is also a lot harder to grow quickly now with how spread out its diet is
I mean, thank fuck the juvi is faster now
(but that doesn't excuse the awful way juvi carni diets are)
which doesnt pair well with the nerf the got hit with
Pachy should be able to get a break and run
Carno should be able to kill it
It should be somewhat fair
still prefer it to the previous two carnivore diet systems
Carnis are free grows and it's SO lame
I reckon carnos are killable, it's a new patch so there's obviously going to be some confusion on how to beat what and carno has always been baby-brain basic
thing is- you can go a fight without leg fracturing a carno
Body fracture and head fracture are just as useful tho imho
Any fracture should work now
Head fracture fucks up their damage and body fracture fucks up their stam
Carno has mediocre stam as it is
And head fracture makes it so you can barely see
head fracture fucks their vision enough to where losing them is a breeze
Also it reduces damage
body fracture cucks their stamina
leg fracture is self explanatory
Basically any fracture is a good fracture now
unless youre bleeding, then its like a bright red bread crumb trail LOL 
you will bleed
what buff
oh you mean the cc buffs in general?
Body fracture buff, juvi runspeed buff, less self-staggers on big targets, fracture and raw damage are still done even if no CC, etc
pachy if anything is more balanced with the rostor imo
Also now it has the ability to ram a carno out of charge
damn really?
(i think it was always meant to do that but it was busted lmao)
so pachy can legit uno reverse carno?
the nerf im fine with
it stuns both sides
its the diet that im iffy on
the nerfs with pachy let me have an easier time 1v1ing it as utah tbh
especially since the babies are still slow
that endlag increase legit was amazing for me
not horribly slow, but slow enough to where having to cross the map is a bit cruel
isnt juvie pachy faster than juvie teno
aye man
i prefer this over funni oasis
and giving pachy another speed increase for juvie would prob be a bad idea...
yeah id just make its diet items a bit closer together is all
cuz it needs to go
center
swamps
then coast
to get everything
they want players to spread out but they forgot that babies cant go that far 
Coast also counts out to the west
so if you go east to west/west to east across center, that usually works pretty well
real talk here guys real damn talk..... where the crabs at
think they thought juv pachys would somehow spawn near a parent
ive never seen one
then graze?
did you guys forget you can graze
gib crab
graze if you need food on your nutrient journey
grazing doesnt give you any diet shit, its the diet stuff thats a pain in the ass for pachy, since the thing is allergic to water
i think sonics going for graze to not starve
you're suppose to use it when you are about to die to hunger and grazing can really help you for the long run when trying to find diet plants as a baby
not grazing to not bother finding them
i know how to graze sonic
so why complain?
and i know what it does
im not saying anything about starving
still, long ass way to go for food for babies, yes spread, but also density, but what do I know, im only a living spectator camera 
because pachy cannot swim
and it needs to cross the map to get its nutrients to grow at a decent pace
you kinda complained that pachy juvie has such a hard time finding diet plants
to be fair...
yeah
diet plants
not starvation
if you had a giant dome head
could you swim...

but fr cant pachy just do a jumping swim?
to be fair, it takes a lot more effort to get growing perks as a herb than a carni, we all know this
they dont even start with the "no specific diet for juve" perk
baby pachy can barely jump
pachy and teno jump as baby is like watching a fly trying to take off but it has no wings.... if you catch my meaning
i dont know why people are so up in arms against herbs getting the easy grow ride at the same level of the carnis
id rather neither get it than both lmao
carnis are a bore to grow
Herbis would be even easier
everything is a bore to grow, its growing
Nah, I like herbis more
More shit to do. Carnis are essentially eat + bush
Lame as. Basically free ticket to adult
herbis are too, what the
Nah, because herbis have 3 specific food types. Carnis can eat literally whatever they find and done
hide in bush, eat, hide in bush, drink, hide in bush
It doesn't even need to be on their actual diet. A carno can eat a fish and be set
Herbis have to eat 3 specific things. Carnis can eat whatever the fuck and be good
I just think the growth side at least from fresh to sub on herb side should be buffed to match, after that i couldnt care less
Eh, I'd rather see more engagement in the carni aspect. Absurd how easy it is to grow the bastards
I dont know why youre so against making the game farer LOL
I'm not against it, I want it to be more fair, I just hate the "eat one random thing and be set for the next hour"
Full nutrients from eating a fish as a carno lmao what the fuck
well, carnis do just go kill whatever they want already growth or not if they eat it is another story i guess esp adults but herbs do need a bit of a break, surely you agree to that side
I guess? It's a matter of me just wanting to do more as carnivore to reach adulthood rather than it literally be handed to me
this not advancing above food for juve to sub, everything else other than that, not part of this I guess
I like carnivore but the fact that only one faction has to really engage with the diets during growth is simply dumb
Even animals like ptera, who are almost completely capable of getting all diet options from the moment they spawn get this easy treatment
Any ptera of any age can fish
And kill a crab
well hold on now, chickens are hard af to catch, even i couldnt do it just now and im no new pt player
as a new spawn***
Chickens are one of the easiest ai to catch lol
Chickens are way easier to catch than other AI honestly
i couldnt land a single hit
i guess im used to fishing and turtles tho, because ill be damned if i could catch a damn rabbit
And as far as interesting growth goes. Diets are not fun, they are like the opposite of fun. Both factions are boring to grow, only difference is carnivores have it easy and boring while herbivores have to do boring chores that put them in danger from infinitely faster predators
But what if i want to eat bones

Wha-
Like you know a bunch of scavengers like vultures fighting over scraps
i was like "hol up"
i dont think ptera can eat bones lmao
I really think a carcass can have different stages
But its diet
gore and diets will be linked
Some animals eat bones
gore... one day, one day in the far future
i dont know what bones have to do with anything lmao
They are, they are boring shopping lists and also only one faction has to suffer with then while growing
Yes that's gore
Yes, they will be linked
We don't get that for a while mate
I'm confused
anyway, to bring it back around, herbs need a break as fresh to sub to bring it on par, and then both need a rework from that point, so at least everyone is on equal standing, and not perpetuating the easy carni life/chore herb life, rhetoric
Diets = Giore
No
Huh
They're linked, but diets don't just equal gore lmao
But some entire animals are adapted
I dont get to enjoy eating bones, i have to cross the map as a torturously slow juvie to exposed areas with carno megapacks everywhere just to grow as fast as a carni that ate a sea turtle in a dead corner of the map
No, they are linked but not the same thing
i am actually having a mental breakdown what the fuck is this argument
Yea
So they will make use of gore
Theyed be extinct
I don't know
Me neither
No the guy said diets are boring
Well of course
Cera exists
It's diet will have a lot of gore in it ig
But Joe's point makes no sense
They are
But i say fighting over a carcass for your diets needs
In their current state at least
Isnt boring
What does that have to do with bones lmao
You can fight over a carcass without diets
OH challenging for food, as a needed thing to do?
Seems like you're describing cera
no one does that tho, they just kill and move on to the next person to kill
But different animals wouldnt fight for all stages of a carcass
Plus thats one faction, the faction that also doesn’t even have to deal with diets until it hits sub or even adult stage
Also if I HAVE to steal meat every time to get a nutrient I'm going to cry
A lion isnt going to fight for some bones
Can someone send me the link to the isle nycta server
Ew isla nycta
no need to fight for food when people just kfs as their playstyle, its all over the place
But a vulture or hybea will
no they won't, a hyena isn't going to do anything with a pile of bones. They want meat
bruuuh
Hyenas do eat bones tho
And vultures
In legacy there were some servers that had body down rules
this isnt the place for server links fam
Also who the FUCK is going to stick with bones? Once the meat is gone they don't care
They swarm some small animals
Other than that I don’t know how you’d encourage people to fight
That doesnt counter the fact though that diets are not fun
Those were awful
ho do i go to global chat in game?
Vultures eat bones
Cringe
there is no global in envrima
shoot
Body down rules curbed kosing, and made people compete for food
ok
Body down rules made the game fucking boring and lame lmao
you can local with same species next to you but thats it
People shouldnt be stopped from kosing
If the games balanced then those rules arent needed
at the same time tho, how you expect people to go with the devs idea of challenging eachother over food
aint gon happen
How would you balance the game to make that possible then?
People want to fight
The only reason they existed was purely because the game was so poorly balanced that some animals would be outright wiped from the planet if a specific predator saw them, so they ensured only one animal could be slaughtered at a time
ok im trying to talk to a carno beside me thats why
You cant play the game because you killed a juvi
i got warned for killing a juvie utah during my fight with another giga
That would be dumb just kill the animal and wait ig
I am completely safe from predation because I have a juvi dryo body
If everything can either outrun, reliably hide, or fight off its threats then it is balanced and kos rules are redundant
Exactly
Exactly
If you are able to either escape that which can kill you or fight it off, you are set. If something can kill you always, you're fucked and that's bad
Exactly
