herrera not having a "get out of jail free card" is simply untrue. Climbing easily allows herrera to escape any situation where its paying attention and not making a horrendous mistake. Herrera also has to interact with people as much as ptera since both can just eat fish and ai then stay out of reach the other 90% of the time. And again, I put ptera that low purely because its unintuitive to play, its 100% viable (hence the tier name "clunky but functional") and when thermals come its an EASY A or S tier.

it doesnt honestly, its on you if youre caught on the floor with a galli, even then its easy to run from it at least long enough to reach a tree
Same goes with everything else except maybe carno
yeah i would totally kill a random herrera i see in a plains, well same as any other juvie/small dino, it’s what galli does after all
okay then don’t say it has a get out of jail free card if it can easily be killed by a galli if caught on ground levels
better fr fr
why would you even be caught on ground level 😭 you have more of a "get out of jail" free card than any other carnivore if youre faced by a galli megapack
if youre slacking on the floor with gallis around youre just stupid
im craving hypsi gameplay
i’d say it’s definitely easier to survive as ptera than herrera, but tbf herrera has at least functional combat mechanic and it’s a threat to other dino’s its size and larger, ptera is a threat to maybe a hypsi anything else either ignores it or one shots
you can ambush them while they’re eating or drinking, being able to climb dosent guarantee that it gets away, you gotta run to a tree then jump and climb out of range, pt on the other hand can escape any situation by holding one button.
tricking them into jumping is also pretty easy, leaves them vunerable on the ground
it takes longer for ptera to fly away than herrera does to turn around and sprint to a tree
objectively untrue
ptera has to sit in place for a good second while herrera runs instantly
i think they’re changing how it works and ptera will be able to take off instantly
less than a second, even if the herrera can instantly run it takes time to find and run up a tree
if it takes time for you to find a tree then you need to get your vision checked because holy blind
who said i was slacking on the floor with them lmao, its a hypothetical scenario where a herrera gets caught ground level doing stuff
what stuff 💀
I'm stuff
hey so uhh this isnt allowed here
like idk maybe doing essential stuff like getting food or water that isn’t accessible in trees?
drink from bushes, eat in bushes
i’d say they could both be on the same level since both die only when they make a mistake until then both are pretty much untouchable
herra can survive a galli kick tho
by find i mean run up a tree, they aren’t always gonna be half a centimetre away
nope, a kick knocks it down and that seals its fate lmfao
bro its not that hard 😭
get on norden rn and ill show u
so, its vulnerable to the exact same 10-20% of gameplay as everything else, but is still invulnerable for the other 90-80% unlike every other dino. And if the herrera is dumb and is caught lacking or gets baited it could die, so again, a dies to a skill diff like every other dino? Like herrera is def able to be killed, but it is def 20x harder to die as herrera than most other species. Its survivability is right below ptera, but it also has the ability to just 1-shot anything smaller than dilo and 2 shot carnos. Herrera is STRONG, people just sleep on it because its conditional and highly skill dependent.
did i say it was hard? according to you holding the spacebar button as a pt is much harder
it can even survive tenos tail slam or ceras bite but nothing really stops them from attacking right after
i didnt say that-
you did
no i didnt what
food isn’t always going to be in bushes and its loud eating sound can attract nearby predators, there is no safe drinking spot with bushes btw
there are so many everywhere bro, and you can literally put your food in bushes like bro 😭
lemme just drag the fully grown omni i just killed
grab its intestines and eat them in a tree
that brings us back to my point
they will rot in 5 minutes tho😭
can’t even store :(
I’d say it’s Omni/ dilo sided tbh. Damage pounce nukes pachy. Omni can also just dip at any time. Dilo just needs to bite you once or twice depending on time of day
I said it was unfavorable for pachy: "The issue is that it has to outplay the opponent..." Equal skill level, pachy generally dies unless it gets a lucky hit.
Yeah… 2/10 Dino
There isn’t a worse playable
eh not really.
herreras are not glued to the trees they come down for numerous reasons, they come down for resources like food and water, they have one of the fastest drains, when migrating they walk on the ground just like everything else, they can’t even nest in trees and have to collect debris/materials necessary on ground to build it, when ambushing prey they often have to reposition and get to a better tree by using the ground once again, even during hunts they pursue opponents who survived the initial attacks and keep the bleed on. you also travel on the ground to meet up with friends etc and etc
so, it can be ambushed during the few moments of vulnerability where it can actively make sure its pathing is close trees and there are no threats around. Again, if you miss a threat, skill issue, die, like literally everything else has to deal with 24/7, except for only like 20% of your gameplay (unless you're playing risky, in which case, you knew the risks and got skill issued).
it can’t always make sure of that, some safe drink spot for examples are a good few feets away from trees, food isn’t always going to be directly found under a tree.
honestly i have no trouble surviving on any other playable if i think like that, what’s the difference between being sedentary in the trees or a bush in the middle of nowhere? i can play a herbivore, go to a random spot of the map with a water source and practically live on forever lol
but i see what you mean
What am I even reading above
Poor dryo considered no skill when it has a crazy cap and also not even the lowest floor in herbivores
stego and beipi should be higher rn ngl
Nothing can really kill a competent stego and then beipi is indeed almost always viable since most of the map works well for it besides ponds and south river
I agree with the rest though
Stego suffers a lot in its early life, targeted a lot by ceras and stuff that can destroy them, which is why it’s there
Beipi I can agree on that yeah
In all fairness for stego, cera early game is worse and it is higher
Cera has a lot to eat though, and it can run and hide much easier than a stego can
Or well, herra. Herra early on can suck too if you are in a hotspot
Well yes, easier, but I would say both are easier- well, no, lets see if we’re on the same page since we might be thinking about different scenarios
If both spawn at northern jungle, I believe they have roughly the same chances of surviving without being spotted
Same conditions for both
I agree small stegos get dunked on harder than small ceras because those pick up weight quicker so maybe you also accounted for that tho
tbh, stego gets very strong early on, once it hits like 1.5 tons (about an hour and a half), it can 2 shot ceras with power swings, with the first knocking them down.
stego's damage to weight ratio is insane
And since it is a herbivore, it can just hide in the jungle really. And after one hour it has almost hit that size
When by the time it grows up it is unstoppable
The only stego I have ever lost in a fight instead of me yeeting it went down against an alliance (not really mixpack of two deinos, 4 ceras and two stegos)
And I killed one deino, 3 ceras and almost got one steg
Stego is crazy strong rn in the live branch since it has no competitors
But I am not offended really
Stego in viability A tier is also fine
Beipi is just the water galli imo, and I really like both
You can very much run from everything that can threaten you unless you put yourself in a bad spot, grows quickly, you have some combat capabilities you can use offensively to destroy juvis and small animals 
What server do you play on?
I play mostly officials, Isla Oscura, Isla Pandora (got kicked/banned yesterday lol), Petits and Ratz (24h kick lol)
Oh ya I mean good groups that can take stegos are rare
But a solid omni pack is a genuine threat
Why did you get banned🤣
If I’m a stego and omni group of atleast 4 approaches I always go narrow eyes
They got weird rules I wouldn’t be surprised if it was something petty
Oh? Like what? I’ve never heard of em
In Pandora? For brutally murdering a pachy as another pachy and telling the guy to cry about it as he effectively cried about it
In Ratz? Insulting someone in global
Bruh
Killed two pachies with that one
And also in pandora I once killed a maia as dibble but it seems nothing happened with that
Oh also another stego as one
I hate herbi aggression rules
It’s so eat grass and die attitude being forced down my throat
Like no dude, I am gonna destroy anyone that makes me mildly uncomfortable
Eating my food and leaving bugged plants behind
Or just being annoying
Ah I was wondering why you killed the pachies🤣
Getting banned for that os a bit of a yikes tho
really is
but honestly, servers with rules like that
are not worth your time
Anything that claims to be "realistic" while clamping down on everything about herbivore attitude (or allowing them to mixherd) it's just stereotypical carni slop mindset
just servers that catter to bad carnivore mains who want to fulfill their fantasy that has been fed by media for decades already with the big scary aggressive predators hunting the herds of pacific herbis
it's funny because EVEN THE GAME accepts that herbivore on herbivore aggression is perfectly natural
not only this
also this
and this
and this too
like bruh 😭
I cannot find the suggestion but someone suggested once that herbis should be unable to deal damage to carnivores unless they are hit first!!!
they're really cool
Ngl
This makes me which for a knockout feature
Like getting a head hit as like pachy or this think KOs the enemy
sounds good on paper, but in practice its just in an insanely long stun and a very slow death
thats what head fracture is for
It’d be funny
tenontosaurus!!!
@bold vessel I can agree with cera bile, but dilo venom is perfectly fine tbh. It takes a lot of bites during day to get someone bigger than you to stage 3, but during night, it has a reasonable buff. That's why it envenomates people faster.
You can 1 tap anything under 1.5Ts with a he at night to t3 and it lasts about 10ish minute (more than long enough to kill with venom alone)
If doesn’t take many bites at all for anything that isn’t massive
And the venom lists long enough to kill basically anything off almost solo
Even during the day you can easily get 1.5k in damage from venom alone
yeah at night
The venom is very overtuned
a dibble isnt that big, and during day it takes like 10-15 bites to get it to stage 3
Even during the day it’s easy and fast enough (like 4-5 bites tops for a cera) and lasts more than long enough
7 or 8 body shots I believe
lol, have you played dilo bruh
And the venom will do roughly 2k damage in the allotted time
So for about 400ish damage of bites you can basically kill a dibble
That’s solo numbers mind you
i mean yes, i do agree the hallucination damage is bad, but its bite to venom ratio is fine to me. Maybe it could use a nerf, but thats just an opinion
Only takes about around 3-5 bites to put a stego on purple and stays purple forever while it's night.
So you can basically bite them a few times and sit back and relax because the chances of surviving past purple venom is very low.
If the venom application wasn’t so fast (especially at night) and didn’t last such a unholy amount of time (if you get infected start of night it won’t go away until end of night) it’d be fine
Mind you a solo can’t output enough venom damage alone in that time it only does like 4.3ish maybe 5k
But ya 2 or 3 dilo t3 and it’s gg
The venom changes with the group size?
I mean we can always wait for Rex mains to get bullied
yeah, sitting back and relaxing is annoying if you're not the dilo
The amount of damage you can output does
all im saying is bite to venom ratio is fine with me
You basically double the dps for every dilo with t3
It’s abit much insta venom on carno or cera at night is kinda crazy
I mean ignoring that dilo during day can face tank a cera to t3
its called a night buff, and its reasonable.
dilo is a night predator
If it didn’t last the ENTIRE night sure
i mean yeah, but the night buff is reasonable
Interesting, guess that would be why I got to red so fast as a 100% stego.
I wasn't really counting but it felt like only around 10 clone bites to almost kill me.
One or the other having both in its current state is a insane amount of damage potential
For a pretty sizeable amount of time
Let me put it this way I’ve had a 10 man dilo group before cuz we wanted to bully the server hate me if you want and about 7 of us got t3 on a silly land deino who ran back to the water and he died in only afew minutes through clone spam
That's crazy
I mean 7 dilos have t3 on you
That’s 85 per clone
X3 for every charge
- the random clones every now and then
And another charge every few seconds
That’s a lot of venoms damage
I only got bit a few times before the venom kicked in so idk how many of them had t3 on me
Once 1 gets t3 the others only need to get 1 bite in on you
If you see a group of 3+ dilo I’d avoid them tbh
Unless your confident (or a carno)
Something needs to be changed with dilo clone damage at least. It being able to stack with group size is crazy overpowered
Most things can't avoid them
It’s not so much the damage as the ease of application and length applied
You’d have to nuke the damage to make it not insanely op in its current state
Learn how to hide
I should make a video called the art of hiding in the isle
I need an image of a stego sticking out of a bush for this
So real
Fr how is a stego going to hide good lol
It doesn’t but people still miss it
Depends how long they stick near me but I would need food and water at some point
Meh a stego can win that fight even at night all it takes is 1 hit
Hell even stego jab can 1 tap them
why your clips always have those green things?
I have no idea
wild
OBS hates me I guess
😭
i will eat OBS
#balance-feedback message my guy, this ain’t an omni exclusive problem that only it suffers from lol
I noticed it mainly on omni. And omni got one of the longest tails in contrast to body (except teno, but teno can at least use its tail as weapon)
its tail isn’t too long
I noticed it mainly on omni. And omni got one of the longest tails in contrast to body (except teno, but teno can at least use its tail as weapon)
@kind plume You can't be knocked from a tail hit. It's genuinely just desync and possible hitbox issues from the carno/diablo.
My bad
@white spade dude, dilo is NEVER going to catch you
Out of 17 creatures these are the only ones that can outrun an Omni in a straight line:
carno
maia
galli
dilo
ptera
and guess how many cannot be outmaneuvered with extreme easy as an Omni
That’s right, zero
A competent Omni is never gonna get caught by any of those, it is nimble like how media portray raptors
Omni moment
ok

brother imma be honest you're making me agree more with my boy rob here
dude made a single feedback post i dont think he deserved all that
Come on it’s just an image
And we know how prevalent that trend is
Even more than the eat grass and die one nowadays
eh
made a mountain out of a molehill imho
Okay, fine
idrc how common it is the dude just got here
@steep gazelle that was dilo before it broke on main it’s Normal damage, is it overtuned? Yes
@white spade why shrink group size
@iron tree de sync is constantly being worked on as it’s a constant issue the game is being updated all the time so it’s a issue that will re appear every single update
dilo should always be faster than omni to be honest
omni has the luxury of a group size double that of dilo, the ability to jump and thus escape the clones as well as only needing a duo to pin dilo
1v1 situation, dilo should be horrifying to encounter
Mhm
1v1 omni wins
If they are a competent omni that is
a competent dilo bites you once/twice depending on time of day and skidders back into the brush to gurgle in demons
thats also why im in favor of offensive bucking
omni can just pounce any slot deal huge damage if bucking decides it just doesnt want to work
if he messes up and goes on the front two slots I grab his leg and pull him off
A competent omni doesn’t let the dilo hit it but I m ow what you mean
You can easily juke a dilo your far quicker turning
@white spade I agree about the fall damage, Troodon also has this problem, but the group size and speed are fine the way they are.
@median quest Herrera is a glass cannon meant for nuking small things it’s very survivable in a majority of the map if you try and can easily go in adventures with enough effort
It’s super easy to get food
You don’t HAVE to afk hunt
#balance-feedback message @median quest you dont have to camp 1 spot to get kills
Exactly
In fact ROAMING HERRAS get so many more kills on average
This guy doesn’t know how to play herra 😭
thats how i play it
op is talking about a land dinosaur not having enough food or being boring to play meanwhile deinos are starving to death because they spawn in the swamp with no feasible way out to actually travel to a different location or b/c literally no big game is touching the water. herrera is fine lol
Yall are ruthless
im not trying to come off as ruthless/mean but that post feels a little reactionary, it's not something that is fundamentally wrong with herrera more than it is a play style issue & an AI issue.
^
congregated in one single area*
It’s more so a play style issue tbh
same here. Esily +60% of my time on the ground
because people dont expect it and I can adapt
youre one of a few who share my playstyle
they want players to spread out and yet ALL of the ai spawns are in south plains and nowhere else like ... dog
one of the few decent herras 
I rarely play Herrera but when I do I frequent HSs or passages between them
Highlands herra best herra
#balance-feedback message bucking doesn’t matter since troodons do just one venom damage and then they just sit there
not to mention that using terrain is a good thing and terrain absolutely canceling all omni/troodon attacks is also a good thing
let me find a video for you
I understand that but its just like really unfair that troodon can be countered by sitting in a bush
those little palm trees
yes, it should be unfair
but majority of people will disagree with me, i know
but omnis and troodons should get massively punished if they decide to attack something camping terrain
I dont see a problem with sitting in water, against a cliff, etc
but the pounce reliant dinosaur who uses forest cover should not be harmed by the cover its supposed to use
I dont care about omni, omni's bite actually does damage
yes but this isnt about camping terrain, this is about camping objects with unfair collision
i mean, omnis and troodons are most effective in the plains
tbf troodon straight up outdamages omnis with the third stage venom
because of the pounce
oh wait.. it got nerfed to 100 lol, yeah still a lot
but you cant pounce if they sit in a bush
i mean the bushes or trees should totally work
trees I understand, bushes should not
like the bushes up by volcano, you cannot hunt anything up there as troodon since something like 95% of the foliage has collision
yeah, that wouldn’t make sense if you could
how?
well it’s not just leafs
yeah well troodon is also not made out of paper?
if you get dragged by something through the bush it will…
60kg may not be a lot but those claws have quite the grip
yeah but that bush is also massive
the problem is there is a lot of unfair collision, like the tiny palms for example
those leaves have a much farther range than is presented
let me find the clips
apples and oranges
sometimes a bush works, but same exact model few meters away doesn’t
i cant find the nickboay video but essentially the point is
palm leaves should not knock off a 60kg animal
also if something pounced your back there’s no way to buck them using terrain
only some bushes work
and that’s very annoying
yes but I should be able to use my abilities to hunt, even if you stand in a bush
making a creature 100% terrain reliant isnt fun
if we almost kill you and you completely counter us by walking into a bush thats not intelligent game design
tbf if we’re going for realism then 60kg animal shouldn’t be able to pounce something like trike, just not enough strength
u really complain about pounce when u have abilities like dilo's clones
what does that even mean
i can still get my claws into your flank
please don’t
apples and oranges my guy

have you seen little puppy trying to bite human and it just doesn’t have enough strength to do any damage, well if you’re going for realism trike vs troodon should be that exact situation
a puppy is also a baby, it doesnt have fully formed muscles
doesn’t matter tho
a troodon is a 60 kg animal with serrated teeth designed to cut into those of larger animals
but it does
its most bugged thing in game in my opinion right now u die to air. Ability like that shouldnt be in game in first place like what it is magic
the clones are just a representation of venom attacking your brainstem, without them you wouldnt be able to fight the venom at all
the teeth that can’t even do anything to armored giant like trike, thick skin.
yes, because dilo is not the only problem
id also like to bring up that this is a video game and also that the main form of damage is venom
the surface level vessels that trike has are being injected with a venom that softens the tissue
thats how troodon's venom works
it softens prey up so it does more damage
i feel like most of the time dilo dont even know that it killed u
cuz this "venom" stick on u for ages and can kill u even tho u runned away for few minutes
i died like that multiple times and found my body left untouched
for me its too bugged to be kept like that on official
yeah usually early access games arent quite done
ye but me and all my friends complain at dilos most
they are just unfun to play against
they are not op just broken literally
ambush
no like after the venom sets in
how do you handle them
cus the whole point of dilo is that you either have to fight it or die slowly
trying to deal most dmg to them when in pack
lmao
just wait for the night run and bite everything you see just once
kill half of the server
the nighttime is actually PURGE
dilo core
dilo core👽
well the way you survive is hurting the original dilo, that being said its pretty hard to do
wounded dilo's produce weaker clones
idk we can hunt adult ceras and carnos but cant fight dilos
as?
well thats kinda strange considering dilo is pinned by two omnis
or can be killed in a single pounce
ye but most of the time theres at least 2
im not saying raptor is weak
just dilos ability is ass
yeah the whole point of it is to break down things much larger than it
its pretty overpowered to be honest, but the current form is kinda where they want it
because the hallucinations are supposed to distract you and deal a lot of damage, its supposed to make you look crazy swinging around violently at nothing
but to you, you are stopping yourself from taking damage
the thing is like i said u can get killed by air
like u fended urself from clones just to take damage from nothing minute later
imo it shouldnt deal dmg disruption it makes is good enough
Being on the back only protects you from rocks
yeah so troodon should be able to pounce stuff in bushes/forests
i also love that
Me when the collisionless bush knocks down and stuns me for 5 seconds on the 60kg 1 shot playable:
me when the pounce reliant playable cannot pounce because of leaf
I also have a troodon version
do send
Nerf juvi trike plz :')
love how the game keeps you on the back of the creature, showing how you shouldve stayed on
I also think I should’ve asked for dibble buffs
and doesnt give you the chance to save yourself by running away
It really is going to need more damage when rex and allo are out
Not being able to gore a carno or a cera after one knockdown is so miserable 😭
They not even red when they stand up and disengage
isnt diablo going to be able to knock allo clean on its ass?
Only buff dibble needs is for its juvi and sub speed to not suck
larger creatures will have longer get up times than cerato
Also the fact that a sanctuary size, fresh spawn trike can 1 shot a 1 hour grow 😭
Yeah, but what is it going to do with one knockdown and following attacks? 500 damage?
Not even with a special attack, but the most basic one
I agree with this. Juvi dibble will suck with allo pinning it most likely lmao
Make it get to 30kmh very early on so it can drift, then its chillin
150 to knock down
500 damage or around there to gore
650 damage for one mistake, allo has what 2,500 hp leaving allo with 1,850 seems fair
diablo has to do that like 3-4 times to kill an allo
Dibbles wombo combo can almost 1 shot a cera to the head, it leaves it under 100hp
So uh, a lot of dmg
150 for knocking it down, 300 for the spar attack, then 275 for the alt attack
yeah i feel like where diablo is at now is fine
also diablo's maneuverability, you can take a few steps back and then get ready to repeat the same stun
Even with body shots thats like a 3rd of the allos hp gone right there
oh hmm.. it never works for me for some reason
i want them to add gore attack as well so it does even more
diablo does have a gore
Gore does the same dmg as spar
275 damage per hit
Only difference is gore does bleed
the gore hits twice
Ive never seen any conpetent dibble use gore
it does a little into the ground grind then rips up
Like, ever
yeah because it gets canceled by movement
it doesnt stop you like trike's gore
if diablo tries to readjust mid gore it stops the animation
so its easier to just use an alt attack or spar
dondi said it’s missing some animations and stuff so i expect it to do more damage
yeah but diablo does have a gore
well when i say gore i mean decently long animation with diablo trashing other dino
ahh
i can’t wait for the devs to buff the sub dibbles speed, that would be sick
Draggable organs so big game hunter troodon is viable when 💔
Dont get why they put maia and stego on troodons diet when it cant even get organs out of them after theyre 20% grown
6 and half hours till the end of my night shift
i’m playing five nights at freddie’s irl
what, at a pizzaria?
i mean.. i would rather have them on diet than not
i bet they will change that, maybe make it so troodon can hold organ in its hands
i bet it’s just unfinished kit
hmm.. no, internet caffe, but it’s a night shift and a lot of screaming dudes
basically fnaf
I will sell my soul to afterthought if I must.
For that, and playable velo
playable velo!!
Knockdown, spar hit, spar hit?
Oh wait no I see it
Brug
yeah diablo is already a crazy playable in the hands of someone who knows how to use it

If I need two good knockdowns to kill a carno or cera
yeah this dude is 1v4 ing ceras and winning
wait scratch that
lost the 1v4, because he fought a stego earlier and won
won a 1v3 versus ceratos
but really theres only a few playables that can hold their own in a 1v4
Today I just soloed a stego but ended in deep red mostly because of cc and the sparring movement
Ig that's something
like 10 minutes ago
and also just ambushed drinking carnos as a fg dibble rn lmao
killed 2/4
tactile + block is the funniest thing ever as diablo
TRUE
you can get like 25% of your stamina back by baiting a stego
even more on a power swing
tactile does actually go crazy on ceratopsians
like what do you mean I hit him and made him stronger
tried to hit him and went off lmao?
diablo + enlarged meniscus
the new meta
now im even more lethal on slopes
no because you dont understand, you know that hill by the west rail access pond?
overlooking the path?
thats just enough height to make a cera/carno break their legs if you throw them off
pachy and enlarged meniscus is kind of a need if you want to play pachy on anything that isnt flat ground
plus you can ram stuff completely off cliffs
there’s clip of me scaring a pachy as a dryo during nighttime and it jumps of the cliff because it’s nv is so bad it thought i was a carnivore
but i can’t find it
i love pachy but its kind of pathetic now
i 1v1'd a pachy as a fresh venom troodon
his dryo friend did more damage to me
bit me on the tail once sent me running
TBF pachy is not THAT bad as people say, it’s still very strong against omnis, carnos or dilos, it still breaks on first bonk.
but the main issue for me is pachy not being able to do anything to the large omni packs, any other animal has its own ways to survive, pachy doesn’t
can’t run away, can’t swim away, can’t do anything
might camp a rock but one pounce does enough damage to just kill the pachy and if it tries to buck it will lose all the stam and will get pinned
thank god pachy is getting his parry back
also i really hope they decide to double back on the counter pounce idea
counter pounce?
it was in the concept, pachy can alt attack to throw pouncing omni's completely over its shoulder and make them miss the pounce
so as long as you can predict it you can stop them from latching
well that too, i think it’s self stun should be a lot shorter when it hits the target
oh that sounds good
never been a fan of pachy's self stun, i feel like if you do a successful hit you shouldnt be punished for it yk
yeah
the stun makes sense animation wise, but the current one is just too long
yeahh that looks sick
it could also use a better turn radius
pachy received a huge nerf when alt attacks got changed
i wouldnt mind if pachy could alt attack while running
i would also want to make bonebreak a lot weaker as a mechanic, but give pachy good trot and swimming speed
because bonebreak is a death sentence for majority of dinos
I personally wouldnt make it weaker, i would change how it works and give it different stages
change up how the term fracture and break is used
since something like anky, if he hits you, you might have displaced vertebrae, shattered ribs, shatter pelvis, snapped jaw
i just don’t want pachy to be able to chase and then bully everything
how would you feel about a blunt force damage pachy
less breaks, more internal bleeding
hm.. i actually thought about internal bleeding a while ago, it could be a great mechanic
I also toyed around with the idea of suggesting giving pachy hairline or hidden fractures
fractures that get worse depending on how you act on them
they start out fine you feel like you just shrugged off a hit, but if you fall off something or try to jump your leg snaps
hmm
idk about that!
but fracture stages could work, it will give animals chance to just run from the pachy
first bash starts out weaker, then after a few gets to what it is now
and any past that get stronger?
#balance-feedback message i think the healing speed nerf was universal between species, they made gastro even more meta hell yeah!
I don't see that. Carno takes longer to recover his life than a teno, diablo, cera
so there’s locked health system, your regeneration stops at some point and you have to wait until you can heal to full hp
at least that’s how i understand how it works lol
It's a good thing that Carno was buffed in the Hordtest, because in public branch the only good thing about Carno is his speed, everything else is extremely horrible: bleed and fracture resistance,health and blood regeneration, hunger goes down faster, stam takes a long time to recover and stam uses up absurdly quickly xd
I seriously don’t think carno is that bad rn tbh. It’s just not as good as cera
Both things can be true, I didnt say it was the biggest issue in the game I just said it's an issue I see.
Idk why some of the comments are so abrasive. I main Herrera, I have hundreds of hours on Herrera. Sure you can run around and zerg hatchlings like an idiot and get merced by the first carno or ptera that crosses you. Thats not how I play Herrera because it's dumb and gets you killed.
Its designed as an ambush hunter, not a scav nor pursuit predator. It's capable of killing a lot of much bigger dinos in seconds if you use it's mechanics right.
Yes you can survive off hatchie killing or somehow troodon I guess but thats not how I or most other competent people I know play it. If you're exposing yourself, running up a tree and half-ass pouncing at stuff on the fly you're playing it stupid and that's how you die.
You hide, you wait, you kill. Idk why everyone thinks you can play this thing as a scrappy little dude. You go up against anyone remotely competent that knows their dino it's not gonna go your way. And that's why South plains waterfall is littered with dead herras.
I'm not saying everyone is stupid I'm just saying that way of playing is fundementally going against survivability which is the point of my post.
I do agree in the sense that the "intended" way to play a lot of the dinosaurs is just not enforced enough in the gameplay, and herrera is one of those. cerato at the top of the food chain despite being a scavenger that's supposed to defend & steal carcasses, hyper-offensive stegos, herrera having maybe 1 or 2 "good" spots to play it how the devs want us to play it, dryo just not being able to outrun things like it's designed to so no one plays it because it's absolutely helpless. (that's my experience, inb4 "get good run off cliffs and dodge in xyz way") the current state of the game is missing so many dinosaurs & mechanics that the players are forced to fill in roles their playables are not for. that's my opinion on it, of course i still LOVE this game, SO much, but there's no denying that the current state of the roster is awkward at best
Rock pachy is op
I survive omni packs by simply sitting on a rock
If they try to get me I just bonk them down
They should give Gen 1 sweating and human tier endurance
@radiant shadow they already addressed that in HT
Why is a 2 ton alligator needing to spend 30 minutes resting to get rid of bee stings?
Went through two full hydration sitting outside of the water resting and I'm still wounded
because deino health regen is absolutely atrocious
But bees shouldn't even be able to sting an alligator
legacy acro tier
Let alone make a 2ton alligator wounded
and you shouldn't be invading a sanctuary
They do damage because of that
I was eating a corpse like 6 feet away from them
and the problem is deino healing rather than bees doing their purpose
How many times you think a bee has been able to sting an alligator? Lol
I don't care about realism
no chat ever in balance feedback should be about realism because things are done primarily in service of gameplay
if deino got too close to the sanc then it can cry about it because no one is exempt of the rule "too big for sanctuary, you get the boot"
damn
you can tell me in DMs if you want
@radiant shadow Carnotaurus had its growth time reduced in the hordtest, now it is equal to Cerato (2h05m with 100% diet)
#balance-feedback message jesus christ
bacteria was made for defense and it’s the ONLY way juvie cera can defend itself from things faster, it’s the only thing that might stop a random raptor from kosing it
let’s not nerf cera just for the nerf itself, juvie having a bacteria is the thing you guys need to care the least about lol
i also really like the fact cerato stays a very "is it really worth it though?" throughout its life
honey badger lil guy
yeahhhh that was the point i guess, but yeah i guess the issue is its using the bacteria offensively, and offense wise its really unfair mechanic, i can agree with that
maybe the charge bite is like a spar
We give up Ceras speed for 360 movement or something
ultimate defense
Holy sheesh. This is so weird and broken. this needs a fix imediately!
THIS! so much this!
It is such a pain in the butt so often to pounce with a troodon. Especially when you fight raptors. You dont stand a chance with this broken pounce.
I mean
they were at 150 ping
yeah but if the stego was next to them it should have caught up at that point. That and the swing was still nowhere near it
ping was definitely not the only factor there
150 ping with both of them staying still, stego's power swing hitbox just goes deceptively far forward compared to the animation. Tho it was prob just a tail hit since that stego was already at incredibly low hp.
@lethal onyx That's good, since it's going to take a long time for this hordtest to end
The buff to Troodon, Carno and Maia should have been done a long time ago, so it's fine for me
yea like it doesnt hurt to release them
@white spade The Omni may be a raptor, but it's very large and heavy. For comparison, an adult male polar bear weighs between 350 kg and 600 kg, and they can run up to 40 km/hr. Omni last I checked weighs 450 kg and runs up to 46 km/hr.
Basically, Omni is a polar bear sized chicken 😂 that runs slightly faster than a polar bear too. That's honestly quite a good speed for something that heavy (and if you've ever seen a polar bear running they are scary fast irl), and it also explains why they don't take fall damage that well. They're very heavy animals.
Balance-wise.... Honestly the whole roster needs a rework on gravity. Running over the top of a hill shouldn't send you literally flying unless you run off a steep cliff. That should help Omni out with fall damage by proxi, but I don't think they should have greatly reduced fall damage compared to other dinos just because they're a raptor. Troodon however is light enough that they honestly probably should take less fall damage than other dinos
@wide quest herrera one shots omni with ease. what do you mean.
#balance-feedback message hold RMB during a jump, think you’re doing it wrong
I’ve killed adult ceras and even a dibble once as a herra. It absolutely does enough damage, especially bleed damage
#balance-feedback message fight back
fr bruh
cera can perfectly fend off an aggro teno
its main weapons are IN THE BACK
#balance-feedback message makes me think this guy has died to a teno bitting his tail
yeah if teno follows even sub cera into the water it will just die
tho i see how aggro tenos biting cera could be an issue, thats why we can make them same speed, problem solved, but making ceras faster is honestly the worst thing we can do…
Same speed is literally all it would need, then you can just rely on juking to get away if you're decent. But there's always clowns who disagree probably cause they're aggro herbi mains
you can still easily juke teno. not to mention the speed difference is 0.2% which is literally nothing. and tail bites do nothing as well, its 35 damage -99% because the tail hit
It adds up fast sadly. That slight speed difference is just enough to make it obnoxious. But making them the same speed is an incredibly small ask anyways
just move left and right
its a 0.1kph difference, which is 0.0277 m/s. That means it would take 36 seconds for them to get 1 meter closer, In a teno's entire stam bar (about 2.5 mins), it would get about 4.16 meters closer. Thats like a cera length closer, over 2.5 minutes.
Thats all you can do and they just stay right on you
Doesn't matter if they're already on top of ya
use terrain. Find a bush to break their los and juke them. Or run into the bush and counterattack
then them being the same speed wouldnt matter either. Plus, why are you letting a teno get that close to you
find water source
its also pretty easy to lose the teno in the bushes
since it cant even track you
I've done this time and time again. Sometimes you come out in top sometimes you don't. My only ask if anything would be same speed. And it's a silly question that I'm letting them close. I had no idea they were even there not everyone is out in the open and neither was i
a lot of times i kicked ceras 4 times and then they just ran into the water or to the bushes and i couldnt find them after, so that strat works
ill be honest if cera doesnt want to fight you most of the times it can just run away
And you have to think of the situation at the time. Is a water source safe? Do you know that a deino isn't in there? Its not that simple when you're trying to survive, to just run into water is dumb
i guess theres nothing you can do, its same situation if you got jumped by the pack of raptors, you either die to them or you risk it and swim and then you have chance to escape
1: Yeah sometimes you win and sometimes you dont, that tends to happen in an even matchup.
2: same speed would change basically nothing.
3: If you are not out in the open, then you have a whole lot of ways to break los and get the teno off of your tail, the only time it would be a problem is if you're in the open with no terrain to get it off of you.
You have the tools to win or flee.
i would rather choose the water and have a chance to escape then die to tenos, because cera is the king in the water
Same speed would change a tiny amount of survivability and sometimes that's all you need in a situation is just a tiny tiny advantage is something so close
so its either 100% death or 50/50 if theres deino
Unfortunately I didn't have water on hand. Though I had a 50/50 of giving a shot if I did
i mean, the water is everywhere honesty and cera got 2.25 minutes of sprint, theres no way you cant find the water in time
but ill be honest i dont see a problem with making them same speed, i dont really care about that.. but not making cera faster, that would be terrible
In the moment I wasn't heading towards water I was doing what I could to get them off my tail and it just didn't work out
it wont change anything really tho since its 0.2%
did they bite you to death?
O can agree with that. It's a tiny change but a change that could matter in a chase situation
it honestly wont matter at all, but i still dont really mind
Yes and no. I turned to fight for a second and did some damage but got even more messed up and started to run again and then was bit to death juking through brush
well you decided to fight and got kicked, if you didnt you would survive
It will matter if you see them approaching or in my case I just heard something behind me so I took off but they were too close at that point
so it takes around 40 body shot bites from the teno to kill an adult cera. even more if you used the resistance mutation, but the thing is they cant really bite your body, they will bite the tip of the tail, not to mention you can juke so most of the bites wont even land
so its honesly just impossible to bite cera to death, you will ran out of stamina before that
next time just find a bushy are and try to hide, or cross the river or start running when you see giant teno pack, they cant track you so its easy to lose them
Well they managed after our fight. Literally couldn't shake them.
i tried many times that strat, i couldnt kill even a sub teno, i do no damage with those tip of the tail teno bites
And thats the whole reason for the post. Just frustrating. So we'll see what happens in the future
heres the way I see it: whats the difference if that teno was instead another cera? the fact that if another cera got on your tail like that, you just die. Teno, you have plenty of ways to get away from, but another cera has all the same mobility but also has a MUCH stronger bite.
And if your issue is that one is a herbivore and one is a carnivore, then thats your issue
honesly i think the maia in the new patch is going to be the real problem... but we'll see i guess
Cerato players when they can't kill everything easily will always act like this xd
you cant bring that energy here
I have a feeling most people wont realize how good maia will be because it isnt a carnivore
"How come herbivores are also a danger to me, even though they are in 8 and I am in 1? UNFAIR"
yeah, but same thing happened when dilo got the buff, it took community more than a month to realize how strong dilo is
and then maia ht happened, where people played only maia and dilo and nothing else
See, humans don’t react instantly especially in a video game, so you are creating distance again with any sharp turn you take
Inherently so
And yeah, why the same, they are already very much the same 😭
Why would Maia be a problem? Do you think he became too strong with the changes he had?
if i see aggressive maia pack in the same pz i will run away as fast as i can, i can use rocks or swim away, sure. but i just dont like the obvious dominance
it would make sense if maia couldnt shove teno or cera honesly. so its forced to fight those in quad where its slower
but they decided to make maia a hunter, so yeah if you see maias you better run
It is fast but its weakness was that it had trouble standing its ground. However, now its ability to stand its ground is incredibly strong. So it can now both chase and fight. Granted it has a slow turn so things can generally juke it out, but if you get multiple maias they are nearly impossible to deal with.
@mint girder the clones are supposed to represent the venom itself attacking your body (kinda like how snake and spider venoms usually cause tissue necrosis). That's why clones do damage, and why they're only visible to the envenomated player. Though, you're right that they're OP.
I think two things that would help balance it out is to reduce the clone damage some, and make it so that you have to bite the target and inject more venom to recharge your clones (allowing the defending dinosaur a chance to fight back)
yeah
i mean it's crazy im on a server rn and 4 dilos killing everything
cus of how unbalanced the game can be
Dilo shouldn't be able to stack 2-3 bites and then nope out of the rest of the fight
also dilo is super fast
speed mut one is faster than dryo
and can keep up with galli
I mean the speed muts really should just be removed
They are pretty much required to take or you get run down by things that your dino just wasn't designed to fight
right
@mint girder The clone should do damage, but it needs to be nerfed. If the clone doesn't do damage, killing something like Dilo becomes very VERY difficult.
Dilo's clone needs rework, Dilo at night kills literally everything in a group of 4 and will kill even the Apex if nothing is done
ye
But it seems that the devs are not paying much attention to this. There are so many feedbacks asking for a nerf to Cera Puke and the Dilo clones and nothing has been done yet.
yeah \o/
let the flame begin 🔥
Reverting Carno weight and nothing else would make it the most disgustingly OP playable the game has ever seen lol
nahhh, bro needs a buff
On the HT it’s perfectly fine lol
bc theres nothing to kill it on HT haha
The population has nothing to do with its viability lol
only thing i agree with in ur feedback is stego weight increase
Same yea
its like hunting w buckshot. only takes one pellet, ❤️
And honestly I care more about stego’s stam than its weight atm
whats your take on its stam?
tactile endurance carrying it
ah
takes a crazy amount per swing, iirc 10% to 15%
i havent ran steggo in a couple months but it was a beast when i was playing it
If you removed tact, it’d be exceptionally weak, which is bad because tact ABSOLUTELY should be removed
valid
(Also I should be allowed to pick more than just tact to be viable)
wild how these mutations have been in for almost a year now lol
Okay quickfire: (deep breath)
Nope nope nope huh? huh? maybe ig maybe-nope NOPE nope nopelol nope nopelol agreed-beipi-my-beloved NOPE nopelmao agreed agreed
the ptera, maia and cera ones 
Why don't you want the hypsies in the trees 😭
Poor little dudes need something going for them
not that I don't want them
but why suggest that? You literally can already, why wouldn't they in the future
The treetop village thing is already a planned thing for hypsi
just court and nest one a thick branch
Like different types of nests connecting into one bigger structure
or well, this too
I think they mean the climbing stuff too
It’s also 100% getting that
I mean i know it's already planned but so are half of the suggestions people post on there
no need to suggest that, same as dryo dodges. Why another one when they recharge so quickly?
saying that cera shouldn't have high dps is wild
I think right now something about cera needs to change. And I don't know what because I'm not an expert on game balance but cera isn't supposed to be a mid-to-big game hunter, right?
obviously
but for that you can retouch the charged bite
instead of nerfing cera's damage
#balance-feedback message imma keep it real bro almost none of these changes address the root of the issues that they want to fix
if cera doesn't get good dps then it is cooked
I think they need to make cera more focused on the corpse bully aspect
I can see it being really cool as like a vulture type thing
But in it's current state it might as well just be a rex
People would still hunt with it tho, the charged bite only takes a second or two to charge and that won't be significant enough to stop people
just make its greatest weapon a defensive one instead of the perfect big burst hit and run move it is rn
people would still hunt and that's okay with cera. Being specialized in scavenging doesn't make something bad at hunting
Yeah but it won't really change their niche. They'll still just be hunters, just slightly worse
but if you significantly slow cera down as it does that move, then it cannot really catch up to you with it or disengage as easily from a maia or dibble after doing it
I think if they nerf the dps generally, but increase the effect of the body buff, and also slow with the charge bite, it'll fit its niche a lot better. And I don't mean nerf it into the ground, it should still be able to hunt to an extent, just give players an incentive to scavenge
by nerfing its dps then you are allowing things like carno to trade with it
hell even dilos without as much trouble now
That's more of an issue with the dilo tbh
that's more of an issue with nerfing the damage of a brawler dinosaur
And a Carno should be able to have a decent fight against a cera, when it's not guarding a body
not really
I don't really play them much but I believe they are about the same weight and growth time
Correct me if I'm wrong
you shouldn't be close to having a 50/50, let alone the upper hand, when you are 20kph faster than your opponent. Because that means the entire engagement of the fight is dependent on the carno, so it can force the cera into a fight but then not commit if things go wrong
in HT this is completely true, yet they have completely different niches
one is a defensive brawler corpse bully and the other a fast moving, slow turn small game hunter
Well yeah, let the carno fight the cera then. Unless there's a corpse. The cera players then have a reason to corpse bully
The bile will still be a thing, so the carno will have an incentive to not attack the cera
Like sure they might be able to kill it but it'll be a hard fight and they'll have thrown up and lost their diet
very much what happens rn
so imagine how bad it would be if you did nerf such a vital stat for cera on top of the individually acceptable charged bite nerf
I'm not saying there should be a massive nerf to the point where it couldn't fight back, just to the point where the player wouldn't be as confident charging at people rather than corpse bullying
Because if you reduce the general dps, it also allows the body buff to be a much more significant factor
in order to corpse bully, you have to do one vital step first where you may not have the body buff
that is, charging at people
Yeah, but that's the risky bit. It should be hard to steal a body from someone
you cannot really catch up to them, but it should be a terrible idea to attempt to facetank a cera or approach it frontally
why making hard your specialty?
Wdym? I just don't think the cera should be able to carelessly sprint at people with no repercussions
That's not how it works for any other dinos. Herrera, for example, can get an easy kill, but if they do it wrong they're probably dead
obviously it is going to get bodied if it does that to an allo, other ceras, a rex and the like
but why should a creature be nerfed so it is harder to do what they excel at
I'm saying there should be a risk.
it's like shortening herra's jump so it takes more effort to lunge someone or go to another branch
and there is for pretty much anything that can rival you rn
even lone carnos
No, it's like giving the herrera low health so that if it misses its jump it dies easily. Which is what happens in game
The whole gameplay loop of the isle is abou risk, and currently there isn't really much risk to ceras
because duh
from who can they steal corpses besides clueless carnos or some dilos or omnis
just wait for other things to come out and it will be very different
Well those other things aren't out now and because of that cera is just allowed to be opressive?
but now, nerfing the damage of a brawler who does need its dps as a deterrent from trading and is also rather slow for its size 
there is only one thing that makes cera oppressive and it is the charged bite, that's it. Most of the other values are just fine, but it is its cost free, easy to use ability what allows it to 4 shot tenos and being great at hit and run against larger opponents
there is nothing wrong with its bite speed or bite force (main factors of something's dps)
plus we have rex right around the corner
Idk i just think it'd be cool for the cera to run in on abandoned corpses and claim them, by making the body buff way more significant. But I'm also aware that just making a really powerful body buff will make cera way too overpowered, so it would have to get a nerf to compensate for that
body buff is easily one of the least impactful things in its kit
plus it is super easy to counter
I just think it'd be cool if it was more impactful
I mean it does make the difference if your opponent is persistent
but there is no other way to make that proximity buff more impactful
I've got my little vision of ceras sprinting in from the jungle of south plains and taking over an abandoned body
90% bleed resist and 2600hp is insanely good on max body buff and serves its purpose fine
they are also built to jump right into the action after something gets a fresh kill
I don't really know man
I just want big therapod vultures
Either way I gtg so cya!
75%
damage is honestly the one thing i dont really get nerfing about cera
like... it's supposed to scare you away from what it wants
like genuinely make it slower while charging bite
#balance-feedback message the teno part made me laugh tbh lool
the feedback is wild tho
well erm.. it’s 99% on HT so all that doesn’t matter anymore AGAHAHAHAHAH
devs listened to our cera feedbacks and decided to remove the body buff, for now on it will be called “cera magic shield” because funny
i wonder why cera doesn’t bleed, is it even alive?
there’s no life or death for cera, just existence
Cera is made of Aku goo
i’m going to bed now, i swear to god if i wake up and see potato sent “mhhmm cheesy” gif i will have a mental breakdown
They removed the body buff?
Stego does not need to be scaled up for rex and trike. Stego should remain the way it is.
depends how well they balance rex around it
Most people who want a stego buff, want to be able to 1v1 rex which shouldn't be the case cause rex is massive and should always win in that regard. Stego is a herd creature and in a group they're good. The way it is now is perfectly fine.
Every creature has the tools to either escape a predator or fight back. Why would stego be different?
stego is not a herd creature
it is literally the worst option you could choose for a herd creature lol
king of friendly fire
so, make stego faster if you want it to be weaker than rex
But it literally is a herd creature regardless of how bad people play it.
you know what happens to herd creatures? they die off and no one plays them
case in point, pachy, an animal delegated to herd creature
no one plays it because they could play actually viable animals that are strong both in and out of a herd
rather than playing pachy, which is only good in a herd
Funny thing is, pachy is "viable"
It has the tools to at least survive against all animals 1 v 1
Stego doesn't have that luxury
My point is that people want to make stego strong enough to 1v1 rex basically which is stupid since they can have bigger groups and usually hang with other herbi.
its solo survival tools are THERE, but not consistent
stego doesn't even have fractures to compensate for its poor solo capability
so? who cares if it has bigger groups lol
or who it hangs out with
no one is going to play it if its flatout unviable
You're missing my point smh
The same could be said for any other herbi?
you aren't spending 5 hours to grow rex food
which are also viable solo lol
Point: stego is fine cause its ment to play as a group and doesn't need to 1v1 rex
it isn't meant to play in a group
Literally is
it literally friendly fires all the time
additionally, what other animal is like that?
Doesn't mean its not meant to play in a group cause people are bad at it lol
It's tools aren't the best for group play. Diablo is a better team player. So is teno (which is eh)
Dibble is great in a group for sure
Also no way anyone is going to play stego lol. If it loses in a 1 v 1, it's going to lose in a 2 v 2 and the groups just scale up
raptor is meant to play in a group due to grapple, pachy is great in groups because fractures disable things, allowing its group to capitalise, troodon has its venom that enables large groups to do hella damage, diablo can defend the flanks of others
stego literally is just high damage output in a huge range around itself, perfect for actually playing a solo animal against several creatures
Doesn't have to
Benefits are in the numbers
ok but why wouldn't rex also group up?
And this was my point its fine the way it is and doesn't need to be buffed at all the way people have advocated for
They get 3 if the 3rd is young and gets booted from group when it hits a certain %. Then they are back to 2
I don't think balancing around group limits is a smart idea seeing as that has never worked out in game. If that's the only thing stopping a complete stego herd wipe is a rex following group limits then something is wrong.
Smarter to just balance them 1 v 1
^
everything else in the game is balanced around 1v1s
don't make an exception for stego because some "herd animal" mentality
galli is an infinitely better herd animal and it's amazing solo too
so it just megapacks lol
the honour system isn't great for balancing
Then it should be able to escape it
Or have buds to help defend
... lol
But outright rex shouldn't have a big issue with a solo stego
Someone will play it
yea, same way pachy, dryo and hypsi are all the rage
They just got to play it as intended to protect against apex aka herds
wait, actually, dryo/hypsi/pachy don't take 5 hours
so even less people will play stego LOL
Most people don't play stego because it's stego rn. It's just the largest animal on land. When it has competition from predators and trike, the playerbase dwindles
or you could play trike and defend against apexes better because you don't risk hitting them with a clumsy tail, have far more health, can spar with the apexes forcing them to be open to other attacks, and have a shield head for people to get behind
so you've described trike but bad
hell, trike even has a herd size which is one size smaller than stego's, so it can nearly herd as well too
stego's 5 vs trike's 4
Kos, killing other stegos and camping bodies:
Stego is so fun when you are morally bankrupt in a game
Balancing for herds are a terrible way to do it. 1v1 needs to be viable, be it by fighting or running. So yes, stego should be able to escape, or fight off, a rex.
the stego playerbase actually shot WAY up when it had an actual threat like trike (especially since they're balanced around coexisting and one doesn't dominate the other easily with no counterplay)
While Trike absolutely CAN shred stego, stego has every opportunity to leave
I'm actually a big fan of the current way it works between trike and stego
Which doesn't work, especially when rex can also come in numbers. As can any other playable.
meh honestly
not that fun tbh
Also hunting lone trikes as a pair of stegos
yea
Land whaling
especially since trike CAN still defend against two stegos if it plays competently
Sure, it can run, maybe. But if it can't, then yes, it does need to 1v1 the rex.
if rex's matchup with stego is done as well as trike's, there'll be no issue tbh
How is the current stego playerbase doing, by now? Still popular?
well HT is kinda... dead
but when it was active, stegos were constantly found in pairs
I hope apexes aren't too common once they release
It'll be interesting to see if it holds up when both rex and trike are officially released
i mean, one can hope, but let's be honest, they're apexes lol
i love when we make solo play unviable! thats so fun! thats so based! we definitely need a 5 hour long growth version of pachy!
people arguing that herd animals would be played when pachy has been rotting in a corner for the past few months is so funny to me
by the way this is this guys 14th deino to starve in swamp
and instead of going up river delta, he tries to get the saltwater mutation
to go into the ocean
where there is less food
do we collectively know einstiens definition of insanity
do you think they got their refund
id say no
the endless cycle of the deinosuchus player
"let me sit in the place where i havent seen anyone in 3 hours. surely they will come now"
"oh i died.
let me go to that same spot"
i love islecord so much
“Game is supposed to be fun!”
playing deinosuchus
hes angry
The edit made me add a X
Now I'm a mixpacking meowmeow
if not sharing opinions with people who fundamentally misunderstand game balance, game design, and game development all in one makes me a glazer than sure, you could say that
(and im not talking outta my ass here. based off previous comments made by him, theres a surface level understanding of 'dev does development' but nothing that actually goes into it)
but if you want an actual breakdown of whats wrong with your feedback; i can do that
Same
That’s just embarrassing to look at 
"Lost three deinos above 40% growth to starvation today. Games are supposed to be fun. Instead I frantically try to get saltwater mutation to move away from the swamp where you will find exactly zero other players that aren't also deinos" Why are you wasting time to get the saltwater mutation? It isnt required to be able to leave swamp. If youre going into the ocean... why? You struggle already with finding players inland, what makes you think it would be easier out at sea? Also, based off your previous statements in the past, this is your 13th deino you've lost in swamp. And instead of deciding "shoot, i spawned in swamp. let me book it out of here" which you can do WAY before 40%, you decide to... stay and try your luck? in a place that has yet to keep you alive past a stage thats sustainable via AI?
"that strange dark lighting entity that covers the entirety of the deino patrol zone and normally most of the migration zone blocks your vision just enough for the only food source you've seen in 2 hours, and the last one you'll see before having to start over from hatchling, to get away." Grammatical issues aside, you clearly dont understand how migration zones/patrol zones even work in this game if you think this bug is somehow connected to them in any way. Its a bug, yes, but its in specific spots of the map. A majority of water ways dont have this bug, but it is at its worst in areas where many water overlays overlap. Oh wait, what area suffers from this the most? Swamp. The area you refuse to leave for a solid while (ATLEAST) after you spawn considering one of your main complaints is the lack of AI in swamp lol.
@tacit chasm if youre so inclined
Imagine getting your feelings hurt because someone else doesn't enjoy the broken toy you play with. Lol.
didnt your get feelings get hurt via bees
so much so that you went into someones dm's and started yelling slurs at them
he says as he cries over being so bad at the game he cant get a deino above 70%
Imagine responding to every post directed towards a dev.
You guys are actually the saddest people. Worst than rust players level of sad.
mind you that you havent actually responded to any point ive made and instead go straight to insults
I don't want to call anyone out
Or judge someone's behavior
Or imply anything that could be perceived as offensive
But usually the people who insult others, call them out for being "butthurt" and other assumptions and make excessive use of insults and mockery are the most (negatively) emotionally involved in a conversation
What slur?
Usually the people that gang up to comment on people that aren't even talking to them have nothing of substance in their personal lives and try to insert themselves into everyone else's business
what do you think the discussion channels are for
to discuss feedback
its in the name. we are discussing your feedback
"balance-feedback-discussion" please be serious
a discussion channel for balance feedback
I'm not sure who or what you are referring to, but if you feel like you are being "ganged up on", feel free to ask for some assistance. I would happily provide you with support if you need it.
I don't need help, you guys are all little kittens
Somehow I expected you to answer that
or atleast i wasnt offering help lol
I know, you just talk to talk and nothing useful comes put the ck holster of yours
but if you need help with deino im always down. theyre decently easy to grow. looking forward to it :D
oh look
he said it again
Well you got a point here, I'm not here to prove a point, just to enjoy the conversation, as anyone should be
And so far I am indeed enjoying it
i wonder if he'll use the same excuse that he used in dms

The aggression in the feedback discussion channels is kinda wild tonight.
Yeah we got like 5 circle jerkers in here
you can lie all you want
They're almost finished though
people get angry when they realize that maybe the issue isnt entirely the games fault
Yeah it isn't a slur, only soft people need language to be censored
I have a question to ask you
You don't seem to be trying to argue with anything either here, nor do you seem to be particularly enjoying the conversation
So what exactly are you doing here ?
still trying to get a refund probably
But you need to ask on Steam for a refund, not on Discord
I got a notification, and I enjou making soft people cry
Who asked for a refund on discord?
Eh. It's not really the best thing to play rn. The growing stage is a chore since you can't reliably hunt anything outside of cheesing ai
theres a difference between playing something that can have difficulty growing and then going out of your way to make things 10x harder for yourself
The collective levels of iq among the 4 of you are astounding. Almost triple digits
It needs a lot of work
Some people are incapable of admitting that truth
And they get their fee fees hurt
meanwhile ive advocated for deino changes multiple times in the past
I wouldn't even say it's difficult. It's just bad imo. like outside of "cooking" schooling fish what else does deino have when they're small?
its not the best but you can absolutely do things to atleast give yourself a better chance.
i.e not staying in swamp 10 times in a row after starving there each time
I mean why even have it as a spawn point
do you expect to stay at every spawn point you get
spawn point does not mean "wow im locked here for the next hour"
lmao
I mean yeah? Regardless, i think deino needs more food options when smaller. But so does every juvi carni
thats the thing
hes not even small anymore when hes dying
hes 40%+
so he can grab ceratos/carnos/omnis/dilos/
but yes i do agree with you that deino juvies (as in fresh spawns) need a bit more
and you know what that bit more is..,.,.,.,, turtle..././/./.
tortle
Youre a glazer because you vehemently defend the game when someone makes a suggestion. You and avaliant act like you guys have some pull or are some sort of rockstars in this discord channel, but you guys just sound like tards evertime you say something.
ouhhhh turtle on deino diet come to me i need you
womp womp let it haunt
mad for what
You guys actually had a full conversation without me here, but it's haunting me. Lol
People have conversations in a conversation channel, that's crazy
you mean the convo actually moves when you're not here? its almost like its not stuck in place going in a circle of "hey maybe you shouldnt say slurs and just insult others"
I'm looking back, yall were along about me for like 20 minutes before you pinned me in a comment. Yall are actually sad lololol
Talking about*
but yes turtle in general would be a good addition to deino diet, especially considering they lose any chance of elite fish spawns if theyre in an area where turtle spawns (outside of a very niche area that is already decently popular with deinos, so you'd risk being cannibalized regardless)
Looking at my profile and taking ss, yall are weird bro.
it would give ocean deinos a bit more survivability out at sea instead of just "wow i have 3 spots i can go to and if i dont, i am so dead"
seeing 1 blocked message pop up everytime i type is so funny i forgot how much i liked that
my god man you really need that attention huh
Whose talking to you? You want some attention?
its an open channel. leave if you cant handle more than one person talking at a time lmao
@tacit chasmYou know, if you actually focused on your feedback, you might have better success here. I doubt most cares about you personally, it's the feedback and if it's good or bad, that is relevant here.
Youre trying to guide how to speak, now I tell you I wasn't even talking to you and that's your response? Lol
Had to make sure but that's roughly a 1.5t deino which is not really going to be hunting carnos. Also most of those animals are sadly at places that are hotspots. More of a map issue tho
tf you talking about guiding how to speak lol
okay let me correct myself
10 of his deinos were 70%+, and the 3 before were 40%+
and i know that because of his feedback yesterday lol
oh
like im telling you i know deino can be rough. this is not a case of deino being rough lol
Well anyways, deino needs more love when it's smaller and NV needs fixing but iirc that's meant to happen?
or atleast not to the degree hes trying to imply
yeah im just excited for the kit adjustment
apex animal is more difficult than not apex
but yea if you fixed deino's NV and made its juvi less stinky stupid i'd be happy
but underwater NV needs more fixing than just deino
i imagine 30ish% deinos will have a field day hunting quetzals that fly over rivers
You want me to leave because I told you I wasnt talking to you after claimed I want attention, but nobody was talking to you. Who wanted attention? I'm responding to people that were having a conversation about me for 20 minutes brother. Sit down an shaddup
i kinda miss the NV underwater had before the NV update
hey man
not because it was great but it was atleast usable and somewhat scary depending on circumstance
Isn't it funny how everytime you meet someone new, your first interaction is to insult them ? Is it because you feel safe to be toxic behind your computer screen or do you act the same way irl ?
me me fight big strong
I dont wanna have beef with some rando but man
Go back and read the responses. I'm giving what I get
This is making it hard
why have beef he's hella entertaining
Who insulted you ?
And stop being so fkn soft. Yall cry too much
I don’t see it that way but he certainly does
Is that what you think is happening ?
its very rare we get someone so amusing around here
@slim dragon bro I got a notification and came here to see that you and 4 other people were running their mouths. Keep crying about me dude.
'running mouth' = calling out bad feedback
Being a dead game, I can see that
this is a discord
Actually I wasn't part of the conversation at that point, but sure. So that's your conclusion ?
also if youre being so aggressive because we insulted you... who insulted you in this convo when you came at me sideways because i said a few things you didnt like?
Having them fix the lighting issue in the swamp and make food spawns work correctly is bad feedback only if you glaze the devs
@tacit chasmYou made a feedback post, people reacted to it and discussed it, in the discussion channel, not sure why this is somehow something to have an entire argument about
Your suggestion was to not play in the area affected, which is pretty much the entire swamp. What a dm ahh suggestion. You should've just kept your mouth closed
thats not what i asked
come on, read. you can do it.
i asked who insulted you in that interaction
Whoa arguing? I'm responding and catching up to the conversation about me that's been going on
Link all your comments
Don't cherry pick ya soft lil meow meow
okayh, here #general-feedback-discussion message
i have nothing to hide lol
Well, you're not responding to the talk about your feedback, which would probably be a bit more useful in here, than talking about them and going on about that
What?
idk what a meow meow is but i like the fact you use it like a slur
That wouldn’t be wrong at all. But it is certainly pathetic to start complaining about glazers and the like after getting a few downvotes WHICH BY THE WAY, they have NO IMPACT in whether your suggestion will be heard or not
So far, most of what I've seen is you complaining about the others here, rather than focusing on what they've actually said about your feedback and talking about if that is helpful or not for your gameplay

yeah that was a bit unwarranted
