#

Its jump is also poorly executed atm

dusky surge
#

also the fact that it jumps much lower when its running, which is a completely arbitrary nerf

fading pagoda
#

Yeah when Herrera comes out it will be able to climb trees

dim crown
#

Outspeeds might mean poor choises/positioning, hitbox is good as it is, imo, its not supposed to chase a moving target&shoot (let mercs do that) hypsi is not like the other dinos, but a part of the "group".

dusky surge
#

hypsi SHOULD have a ridiculously high jump

dim crown
#

No, bruh, you are.TI_Wheeze

dusky surge
#

that's a cool and unique niche

#

rumo every single hot take you've had has been arguably shit lmao

#

as far as i've seen

fading pagoda
#

Ok sure

#

Lmao

sinful cove
#

Hypsi isnt supposed to chase people down to spit at them, but has anybody suggested that it is?

#

Its aim is unsuitable for hitting targets moving towards you

dusky surge
#

exactly

fading pagoda
#

All we are saying is that it should be used as a defense mechanism like it was intended and it cant really do that rn

dusky surge
#

also i really just want more dinos to feel more fun and unique, and hypsi has the raw ideas there, just the execution is flawed

#

you could make hypsi really damn cool

sinful cove
#

Hypsi and dryo both have wasted potential

#

Its sad

dusky surge
#

i agree

fading pagoda
#

Yeah literally all they have to do is make the spray a larger cone and let it climb

sinful cove
#

Half baked abilities

fading pagoda
#

And we already know that it will be able to climb

dusky surge
#

stego also feels underdone, but it has its moments that make it worth taking, unlike hypsi or dryo

sinful cove
#

Stego feels like legacy trike, weak

#

It has a strong attack but it destroys its stam and is easy to juke

dim crown
#

Dam... Dryo&Hipsy have special "roles" ingame

fading pagoda
#

I'm excited for troodon if you couldn't tell by me pfp

sinful cove
#

And has less hp than its weight while utah has double the hp as his weight for what ever reason

dim crown
#

They are unique

#

But part of the whole.

fading pagoda
#

I think u are misreading our intentions

sinful cove
#

Unique true, poorly done... also true

fading pagoda
#

Dryo should have burrow

sinful cove
#

Unrefined

#

Dryo doesnt need burrow, honestly

fading pagoda
#

And hypsi spray should be buffed

sinful cove
#

He just needs better dodging and nightvision

dusky surge
# dim crown Dam... Dryo&Hipsy have special "roles" ingame

take this from someone who has worked in the game design industry and has a formal education in game design. A unique mechanic can be unique for the game's whole lifetime, but that doesn't make it more fun. Yes, Hypsi and Dryo are "unique", but their unique elements suck ass, so they become stock-average since no one wants to use their unique mechanics

sinful cove
#

Maybe more, but burrowing isnt needed for him

fading pagoda
sinful cove
#

The sidestep can be turned into an omnidirectional dodge that you can aim and doesnt interrupt your acceleration

dusky surge
#

i think dryos should be allowed to use burrows, but idk if they should make them. Perhaps placing burrows around the map for dryos (and other small critters) to claim and hide in could be more interesting

fading pagoda
sinful cove
#

Dryo should be allowed to modify existing burrows maybe, yeah, but not make them

fading pagoda
dim crown
#

But you guys havent glanced what both those dinos bring to the game.

fading pagoda
dim crown
#

The best play for a hypsi, havent been discussed here.

fading pagoda
#

Idk why u are so mad about it

dawn falcon
#

What would be the “optimal” stego stats

#

Should stegos swing drain 5% Stam instead?

dim crown
dawn falcon
#

Hypsi isn’t really unique

#

The only unique thing about it is it’s spit

dim crown
#

Youre not playing it right, in the 1st place.

fading pagoda
sinful cove
#

Okay, how do you play hypsi right then?

dawn falcon
#

Tell me. A hypsi with 0 growth which I could spawn at any time as I please and try it out which I’ve tried it out for tons and tons of times

#

How am I not playing it right?

#

Also

#

The right way to play hypsi is to not play it at all and play dryo

dim crown
#

You havent seen how "interesting" it is, in this version, and you want to change it.

dawn falcon
#

How is it interesting

fading pagoda
#

They are already making it more unique by allowing it to climb

dawn falcon
#

You’re just grasping at straws at this point

fading pagoda
#

I am saying that the spray is a really cool idea and it's an interesting concept

dim crown
#

Hypsi climb sounds fun

fading pagoda
#

It was just executed poorly and can use some smoothing over

dim crown
#

Spray does not need a cone.

dusky surge
fading pagoda
#

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

dim crown
#

It needs something else.

dawn falcon
#

It’s sounds are annoying, it’s spit is useless unless for trolling, it’s jump drains way too much stam for a climber

#

I can list even more if you want

dusky surge
#

yes

#

flawed

fading pagoda
#

Once they are fixed, it will be a joy to play

dim crown
#

Whats the flaw?

dusky surge
#

im

#

you know what

#

im actually not doing this

#

he's actually daft

#

no fucking way

dawn falcon
#

Like

dusky surge
#

no fucking way have you ignored the ENTIRE conversation about how they are flawed

fading pagoda
#

@dim crown you are acting like a 5 year old

dim crown
#

Dryo&Hypsi have arl plenty to do.

crystal wharf
#

there is some really easy ways to make the systems for dryo and hypsi not complete ass while sticking to the base concept

dawn falcon
#

Hypsi jumps about the same height as a Utah’s jump, and yet it drains SO much more stam than a Utah

#

Why does it drain so much stam for a jump not that great

#

I don’t get it

dusky surge
dawn falcon
#

Atleast make it drain like 7-10% stam

Not 25%

crystal wharf
dusky surge
#

lmao

dawn falcon
#

I’ve played dryo. Literally all you do is sit, wait 30 minutes until you’re adult, eat and drink, and ravage juvies

#

Dryo is literally carnivore gameplay

dim crown
#

Theres more you can do.TI_Wheeze

dusky surge
#

i main utah, won't lie that i enjoy running around with a big pack and attacking things, but i don't overlook design flaws for other characters.

crystal wharf
#

literally isnt

dawn falcon
#

Like what

dusky surge
#

you argue without points

dim crown
#

Mhm, dunno.

dusky surge
#

AHAHAHAHA

dim crown

Apparently its a secret.

dawn falcon

What

dusky surge
#

oh my god

#

"there is lots to do"

"name it"

"i dont know"

#

big brain time

dim crown
dusky surge
#

you genuinely aren't worth arguing with, one of the worst debaters of all time. You'll go against the primary consensus, then back down when pressured for evidence to your claims

I might be putting this on a YT vid?TI_Think

i sure fucking hope so

Yup

okay

i want to say something real bad but i cant... oh fuck i wanna say it

dim crown

Apparently theres a vid i need to do.TI_Wheeze

dusky surge
#

please do

#

i can't wait

dawn falcon
#

Atleast he more or less agreed with us

“What is there to do”
“Dunno”

dusky surge
#

he technically did agree with us

#

lmaoo

#

i guess we win

#

good job team

crystal wharf
dim crown
#

lol

dawn falcon
#

😩

dim crown
dusky surge
#

so yea, we're all in agreement that hypsi needs a change

#

so does dryo

#

glad we all came to this conclusion

crystal wharf
#

yup, and unlike a lot of people, i actually have ideas for what to change

dim crown
#

Its no fucking secret TI_Wheeze sometimes we cant see something, and its right under our nose, playing AS a hypsi is 1 of those things TI_Think

dusky surge
#

i think he's losing it

#

i don't even know what he's saying anymore

dim crown
#

Perfect

dusky surge
#

no hablo espanol senor

#

que?

crystal wharf
#

yeah i think something broke

dim crown
#

What has to change, bork, is the way ppl "play" it.

crystal wharf
#

no

dusky surge
#

okay

dim crown
#

Ok

crystal wharf
#

what needs to change is the entire animal

dusky surge
#

lets go over that

crystal wharf
#

both of them actually

dim crown
#

It doesnt need better aim

crystal wharf
#

it really does

dawn falcon
#

Omnidirectional chargeable leap that Kees momentum for Dryo TI_Perfect

#

Keeps

dusky surge
#

the hypsi's gameplay, as it stands, is run and die, spit and die or hide

dim crown
#

It needs help 2 stun its target for ex, but theres more!!!

crystal wharf
#

omnidirectional yes
keeps movement yes
gives speed boost after yes
chargeable no

dusky surge
#

i want to know how rumo sees how hypsi should be played

crystal wharf
dim crown
#

No im a teno

dusky surge
#

of course you are

dim crown
#

I stun u shoot

crystal wharf
#

that explains a lot

dusky surge
#

WAIT

#

OH

dim crown
#

Oh

dusky surge
#

so you want people to play as a really really shitty support to a specific dino

dim crown
#

But thats nothing...

dusky surge
#

i see

dim crown
#

Theres more!!

dusky surge
#

yes, i suppose that is a way to play hypsi

dim crown
#

No you dont!!

#

Maybe

crystal wharf
#

@dim crown they do not balance around herds, especially mix herds, every animal should be viable by itself

dim crown
#

Wave

#

Maybe

dusky surge
#

rumo

#

i was literally repeating what you said

dusky surge
#

how do you respond with maybe

#

to your own argument

crystal wharf
#

im going to list it, hopefully in simple enough terms for everybody here

dusky surge
#

specifically utah tho

dim crown
#

I said maybe because, in the future there might be more, or just that we can talk here all day and not be 100% accurate in everything we say.

dusky surge
#

but not mix-herds

crystal wharf
sinful cove
#

utah is still viable by itself, especially when more small game is added. nothing should rely on a group to be viable

dusky surge

crystal wharf
#

snail brain used attempted insult, it wasnt very effective

dim crown
#

Insult? lol

dusky surge
#

i mean

dim crown
#

Wrong again

dusky surge
#

it was trying to be insulting

#

"scrub" is quite literally an insult word

dim crown
#

Ok Wave, you win "this" one.

#

Dont want to hurt feelings here TI_dondiSmile

dusky surge
#

rumo, not trying to be rude, but is english your native language?

crystal wharf
#

alright so, hypsi changes

toss both systems in their current form
give the spit a zone shaped aiming reticle, change nothing else, its fine then

completely redo the jump

make it aimable (it shows where you are going to land) if you hit a solid surface (tree, wall, etc) you cling onto it, from this state you can either, jump again, or spit, if you remain on the wall for too long you begin to slide down, process repeats if you hit another tree, if you hit a platform then you go into a normal walking state

dryo changes
toss it all

give it good nightvision
burrow invasion
the ability to smell food and water while moving like carnivores
when standing still and scenting you focus in on dinosaur made sounds coming from the area your camera is pointed

dodge rework

doesnt stop you in place anymore
omnidirectional like alt attacks
gives you a small speed boost after the dodge that slightly surpasses utah speed

stat changes

nerf speed to 50 kph
increase growth time to 45 minutes again

dim crown
#

Niet

crystal wharf
#

there, i fixed both playables

dim crown
#

Jump on hypsi might need rework, havent "played" with it to much, to have an opinion, but the spit is ok.

#

Dryo shouldnt scent while moving.

fading pagoda
#

The only time I have survived as as a hypsi for more than 20 minutes is when I trailed behind a herd of like 3 stegosaurus and 2 tenos. And I am a veteran player of the original game, and havevolayed evrima since launch. If that doesn't say anything I dont know what the fuck does

#

And the reason for that is because hypsi is USELESS

crystal wharf
#

why should hypsi spit be reserved for trolling

dim crown
#

Legacy is like kindergarden, Evrima is Highschool.TI_Wheeze

crystal wharf
#

and why should dryo be unable to scout

dim crown
#

Dryo can scout

crystal wharf
#

it cant

#

it needs some form of advanced scent abilities

fading pagoda
#

It needs to change too keep people engaged, if you dont think that then fuck it I guess you win bro. But people are gonna fall out of this dino In a hot minute If nothing is changed. Its absolute fucking shit and it's not fun to play for the 99% of the people who play this game. I wanted to be a hypsi main but couldn't because its fucking unbearable

crystal wharf
#

that way people arent playing it like a small green utah

dim crown
#

Its a dryo, youre not meant to go hunting, like carnivores.

crystal wharf
#

where the fuck did i say it was hunting?

#

use that braincell and read it though

dim crown
#

#EvrimaNotLegacy

#

All dinos have their place&role

dusky surge
#

we agree on that, but the issue is not all dinos have good tools to fulfil that role

dim crown
fading pagoda
#

Evrima is an improvement over legacy I can at least agree with that

crystal wharf
crystal wharf
#

its not

fading pagoda
#

Hypsi will have a better fucking role if it wasn't a punching bag that cant take a fucking punch

dusky surge
#

i mean, it could be, if you could provide valid points that argue a different pov

crystal wharf
# dim crown What.

the ability to smell food and water while moving like carnivores
bolded it out for you to understand

dusky surge
#

kinda hard when you don't have the tools as hypsi to prevent being hit

crystal wharf
#

inb4 just find them

dusky surge
#

not fast enough, acid cannot hit moving targets, acid leaves you immobile in use

fading pagoda
fading pagoda
dusky surge
#

that too

crystal wharf
dusky surge
#

rumo can you PLEASE just inform us on what these tools are

#

you've been hinting at these illusive tools

fading pagoda
#

@dim crown we are literally trying to make the dinosaurs you are "defending" better

dusky surge
#

but what are they

fading pagoda
#

Yes please inform us oh informed one

dusky surge
#

i dont like simply going on the attack, i genuinely want to know where you are coming from so i can get a better understanding of your pov and we can come to an actual conclusion

dim crown
#

Snipe a stunned dino is enough for 1 day.

fading pagoda
#

I swear to god if you say somth that was blatantly obvious that we all fucking know or worse already talked about I'm gonna be PISSED

dusky surge
#

rumo please

#

yes

#

you can do that

#

in the rare occasion that you are i range of a stunned dino

#

however

#

that makes hypsi an entirely dependent creature

#

without any form of independence

crystal wharf
dusky surge
#

it cannot even rely on its own kind for assistance

fading pagoda
#

That is an extremely situational thing that only happens in the vicinity of carnes or worse, and if you are in that vicinity, I would like you to refer to rule #3 that you so blatantly enforced upon me

dim crown
#

Rare occasion? TI_Wheeze you mean in the "Danger zone"? In the middle of a fight/hunt? @dusky surge

dusky surge
#

yes

#

rare occasion

fading pagoda
#

Right

#

So why would you ever enter the zone in which it is almost a 100% chance that you will get caught

dim crown
old crag
#

Would be cool if hypsi spit also messed up smell for a short time. That Wray when you do land it, you have a much better chance of escaping.

crystal wharf
#

id honestly rather talk to dio or class right now

dim crown
#

Rule 3: Dont get hit @fading pagoda

fading pagoda
#

Same fucking thing

dusky surge
#

i genuinely want to have a constructive argument with you but you make it so tough. You repeat debunked points, refuse to give evidence and shut down any points that go against you.

#

Please

dim crown
fading pagoda
#

Yes getting caught by a pack of ravaging carnivores is different than getting hit by a pack of ravaging carnivores. Logic

dim crown
crystal wharf
#

the only one doing stupid and idiotic things here, is you

dusky surge
#

earlier you said you worked in the game design industry, but this attitude is simply such a bad approach to the field. You need to be open to alternatives and critique and work as a team to come to a satisfactory conclusion, especially if a wide majority agrees in tandem that there is an issue in that specific area. I don't like fighting for the sake of fighting, because this is getting nowhere, and you're being hostile for the sake of hostility.

fading pagoda
#

Now I haven't studied game design but that is a really good outlook for business and life in general

dusky surge
#

i didn't become lead game designer for a studio by saying "im right, you're wrong" and changing only what i liked. Everyone has valuable input, even people who most people immediately dismiss, because if you drill deep enough, there's always a reason someone thinks the way they do. I've had my mind changed on many things in my time at my old studio because i bothered to hear people out.

fading pagoda
#

Normally I am super chill but you have pushed me over the edge sir

dusky surge
#

im TRYING to find your reasoning

#

i really am

#

stop arguing and being hostile, please

dim crown
#

Hypsi should play in the "danger zone" just like the rest.

dusky surge
#

okay, but what is the danger zone

crystal wharf
#

literally the entire point of its abilities is to get it out of the danger zone

fading pagoda
#

@dusky surge this is a lost cause

#

We should just stop

dim crown
#

If you been in game industry, you should know that not all feedback is good feedback.

fading pagoda
#

We are arguing with a human that has the brain of a atego

crystal wharf
#

"these two animals need to be rethought any ideas?"

"dont change them"

"why?"

"dunno"

dim crown
#

If a community is asking for 1 thing, the game might do exactly the opposite, not to go against an "idea", its just that the community might not have " grasped it" and needs an "eye opener"

dusky surge

Rex&bork, you guys in denial and cant accept, that theres more to do.

#

Accept it!!

dusky surge
# dim crown If a community is asking for 1 thing, the game might do exactly the opposite, no...

sometimes this is the case, yes, but in the case we are specifically talking about, the community has free choice of what dino they choose and hypsis are rare as black snow, so, in this case, the hypsi NEEDS to be addressed, because otherwise no one will play that dino. We have arguable in-game evidence to back the fact that hypsi needs changes to keep itself engaging for players and have a considerable amount of people who actively choose it over other dinos

crystal wharf
#

you have provided no ideas, no evidence, no understanding, no help, and nothing else of value

Trying to insult me takes you nowhere, ill flush the toilet.TI_LUL

fading pagoda
crystal wharf
#

do you know how to do that?

dusky surge
#

you are right that the community is not always right about everything, however in this specific scenario, the idea is to incentivise the community to choose a specific dino over all alternatives, which is not done as it is because of the fact that the hypsi's core kit is undermade and weak

sinful cove
#

he took a hot steamy dump and it is called his opinion

fading pagoda
dusky surge
#

for example, the suggestion to "buff deino" makes no sense, as we can clearly see that deino is still popular enough to warrant many many players picking it over other dinos, with sometimes half a server choosing deino. However, we clearly see that the game has very little hypsi and dryo players, so it would be wise to change them in order to incentivise more players to choose that dino

Deino needs no buff, atm

marble pond
dim crown
#

Half server playing deino is a phase, balance has nothing to do with it.

dusky surge
#

i agree, i think deino is well balanced

#

however, what makes it so appealing is its wider variety of unique mechanics

dim crown
#

Im afraid playing deino and liking it 2 much TI_LUL

dusky surge
#

water sense, good underwater vision, dragging and drowning and a tanky body make deino an intriguing pick for many players

#

it plays very differently from other dinos

dim crown
#

I love this game

marble pond
#

It took me basically 4 weeks to get out of the Pteranodon trance. I still play it regularly, when one of my other characters dies I hop servers and play on my ptera for the social experience.

#

Phases definitely exist whenever a new playable is introduced.

dusky surge
#

true, but again, ptera also offers a unique playstyle

#

that makes it more appealing

dim crown
#

#MasterRace

marble pond
#

When fractures are introduced, all the combat characters will become popular again. It's only a matter of time. What's Ptera gonna do with fractures? Get its wings shredded? TI_LUL

dusky surge
#

i mean

#

it can fly

#

it's already very fragile

#

it's designed to die easy because it can fly

dim crown
#

Debatable TI_Wheeze

#

Again, imo theres more to it.

marble pond
#

I will definitely be giving Quetz a try on its release.

dim crown
#

Ptera not just a "pecker" to the current roster.

#

Flyers are the Master Race

crystal wharf
#

i tab back and you're talking about pteras pecker, what?

fading pagoda
#

i just tabbed back what is happening

#

have we moved on

#

and come to a mature and satisfying conclusion in this very adult and controlled debate?

dusky surge
#

ptera is designed to collect fish or scavenge corpses, an interesting and unique design for a dino, especially a carni

marble pond
#

For sure

dusky surge
#

rather than going on the hostile, it plays more passively like a herbi

dim crown
#

Pteras can rule all, the issue is mainly like the hypsi's previous issue, its a "how to play with"

dusky surge
#

i like that a lot

dim crown
#

Maybe not Wave

dusky surge
#

i have no problem with ptera tho

fading pagoda
#

can someone inform me where the debate is currently

dusky surge
#

i think it's a well made and interesting dino with cool mechanics and a unique playstyle

dim crown
#

Its kinda like the Hypsi issue, we can either play Hypsi OR play AS a Hypsi, same happens with the birb.

fading pagoda
#

hypsi does not have a unique playstyle as of right now

#

they can fix it by giving it climbing and buffing the spray

#

nothing is harming your unique playstyle RUMO

#

its only helping it

marble pond
dim crown
dusky surge
#

i haven't seen this, but if this is the case, again, this is a unique and interesting way to play that dino

dim crown
dusky surge
#

especially with its low hitpoints and constant need for stamina, it would be significantly risky to try this

#

spit is very weak atm, i don't see a buff doing too much harm

fading pagoda
dim crown
dusky surge
#

and im not disagreeing

#

i dont understand

dim crown
#

Cone spit is OP

fading pagoda
#

making the spit a shorter range, and having it be a wide cone rather than a line would make the ability far easier to use in actual situations, and far more impractical for annoying trolls

dusky surge
#

you agree that ptera is good because of its unique design, so why are you so against changes to hypsi, who is SO CLOSE to having very unique elements of its own

dim crown
#

Its meant for a specific situation just like a pounce, or a charge.

dusky surge
#

ehhh

#

pounce is also debatably not a good move

fading pagoda
#

it would be an actually useful ability that would eliminate annoying trolls who shit all over the hypsi name

dusky surge
#

with the fact that it punishes the user with slowdown

#

regardless of if you land it

fading pagoda
dim crown
#

Wrong, again.

#

No its not all it has.

fading pagoda
#

at least with other dinos they have other things to do, like fish, or attack or raise young

dim crown
#

Inagination bruh

fading pagoda
#

inagination

dusky surge
#

it does technically have a jump, but that jump is also unnecessarily weakened

fading pagoda
#

my new favorite word

dim crown
#

Some dinos are meant to attack other are meant to defend

dusky surge
#

i agree

#

that is true

#

HOWEVER

fading pagoda
dusky surge
#

hypsi's defensive move can only be used offensively

dim crown
#

Jump is another issue, imo

fading pagoda
dusky surge
#

since in order to land it you have to go directly up to the predator and pre-emptively attack it when it is otherwise pre-occupied

limber elbow
#

was head shots on stego always so punishing or did they change something recently?

fading pagoda
#

its literally described as a defensive mechanism to make a clean get away

dim crown

which doesnt work because when you are trying to get away from something, THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS STOP IN PLACE AND AIM TO SHOOT AT A MOVING TARGET

dusky surge
#

i think hypsi needs either auto-aim on the eye (i.e. it will always shoot closer to the eye even when your reticule isn't on it) or a cone of fire

#

okay

fading pagoda
#

i am sorry but no

dusky surge
#

but hypsi sucks in both regards

fading pagoda
#

that is just incorrect

#

in some circumstances it is valid

#

but when you are using that to justify hypsi, thats a big fat no no man

dusky surge
#

he can only play offensively if the dino would otherwise not chase him, because the dino needs to be otherwise pre-occupied (drinking, wallowing, eating, stunned or otherwise), meaning he has not only aggravated the otherwise unaware dino into a chase, but he could've simply moved away from the potential aggressor

fading pagoda
dusky surge
#

not to mention the aggressor is more than likely faster than it and very lethal to it

#

so the acid, in this scenario, is less than useless

#

because it makes you more of a target

fading pagoda
#

literally everything outspeeds it except stego, deino and ptera

#

which arent gonna be attacking you anytime soon

like wave said, if it autolocked on the eye, almost all of my gripes would be fixed because climbing is coming

#

and @dim crown if autolocking is in the game, you can still snipe.

dim crown
#

No auto lock plz!!!

fading pagoda
#

the only thing they would have to change if autolocking was introduced, was the fact that hypsi can shoot pteras out of the sky

dusky surge
# dim crown Depending on every scenario hypsi has more than enough to survive.

this is true. Hypsi can survive well because it can play very stealthy due to small stature. However, how engaging is this playstyle for those using it? It never uses its primary abilities like jump or spit, because these abilities are straight-up disadvantageous to it, lowering its stomach and stamina for little reward and, as it starts fully grown, it has nothing to lose from death. The primary issue I have is not the survivability of the hypsi but the engagement that it gives the player. There are no stakes and no incentives to utilise any of its core features, so why play it?

dim crown
#

Auto lock is OP asf

fading pagoda
dim crown
#

No plz

fading pagoda
#

when your reticule gets close enough to the head it will lock on

dim crown
#

Thats not what that feature needs

it wont just automatically snap to a dinos face

Just like a pounce or a charge, a spit is for a specific situation.

and dont say "then dont miss the spit"

because 95% of spits will miss

spare badger
#

It's really hard to aim

fading pagoda
#

thats why it needs to be a cone

#

or have semi autolock

#

all they have to do is tweek its hitbox/aiming and take out the fact that it can knock pteras out of the air

#

@dim crown they can make it a cone and have it keep the same range

#

they just need to make it so it can hit pteras out of the air

#

you will be able to snipe, and the ability will be useful in scenarios that it was intended for in the first place

incorrect

deino is already strong

therefore it is dumb to want to buff it

hypsi is an unplayable piece of trash that needs to be buffed.

having an above average move on a bad dino, can help it become viable

Teno is supposed to be the biggest prey item a single carno can go after, thus being a difficult fight

willow sapphire
#

Yes but it still will be within herds or other tenos 80% of the time

#

So no need to have the capability to almost win a 1v1 against a lone carno.

#

Also hypsi should not be able to jump higher than carno

#

It should probably be halved or cut down by 25% and the sprint jump thing should be increased to the same aswell.

spare badger
#

Don't nerf teno. It's like Maia v carno in legacy. They have a 50/50 matchup. Teno should stay as it is.

willow sapphire
#

Makes sense, but the teno can still spam tail whap while carno cannot spam its' charge. It should be changed 100% to a cooldown half as much as the carnos' charge.

#

Just to make it even out more.

sinful cove
#

Why are people mad that something slower than them can fight back

#

I swear its the same shit every day lol

#

And you're mad that it can “almost” win” The fuck? Lmao

#

Also you want to nerf hypsi jump that is already a garbage ability? I can make an easy guess on what faction you main, yikes

alpine plover
#

I feel like Teno is currently the most balanced creature in the game, it can actually stand a chance against what can attack it currently

#

And run from what's stronger than it

sinful cove
#

Yeah and some weirdos have a problem with an herbi standing a chance

alpine plover
#

Deino can even snatch them if they're not paying attention while drinking water

#

Exactly, it fathoms me

sinful cove

They want to just indulge in their little rp fantasy where they go around and steamroll everything snd pretend theyre stronger than they really are

alpine plover
#

Unfortunately, it's nice to actually have a very balanced dino

sinful cove
#

Acting like some jurassic park rex just oneshotting everything and broadcasting like it was an achievement

alpine plover

Oh that reminds me of all the people wanting Deino to be "realistic" in a fantasy game

Yeah tenonto doesnt need nerfs, carno can just run away if it is having problems, it has that liberty

alpine plover
#

Exactly

sinful cove
#

Lmao yeah people who wanted deino to have like 20000 bite force and break everything in half

alpine plover

Carno has a good chance against Teno. And it has, like you said, that liberty to run away

And the people who wanted 50km/h giga

carno is meant to be a small game hunter. teno isn't quite small game but I can see it being sort of the upper limit, that particularly skilled carnos, or packs, take on

Yeah idk what theyre pissing themselves about when they can just leave at any time, unlike the slower herbi in many cases

#

I feel like generally speaking, if you are the faster animal in a fight, it should require more skill for you to kill the other player. Not that fighting should be an easy skilless thing for the slower player, but they don't have the liberty of leaving. If the fight is on your terms, you need to be willing to actually try

yea

i dont think utah is bad, i just think he has a few flaws that need fully ironing out

reminds me, one of the issues with carno is desync actually

its part of what makes them a problem for dryos and hypsis

carno and teno are two very well designed dinos tho imo. I can't argue with that assessment

you can think you're dodging it, but big time lag means you get hit anyway

@willow sapphire teno can only beat a carno if it tries to tank his ass, dont try to tank a teno ass pls and you will be fine, herbis doesnt need to be easy prey just because they are herbis, try to use braincells while fighting

willow sapphire
#

yes but, it should have a cooldown on its tail whip then

#

because it can spam tail whip and its so annoying

reef sapphire
#

Out of curiosity, I wanted to ask if anyone else has noticed Ptra carebearing other species? I mean fish delivery service is really nice when youre a juvi carni, but its still... carebearing

#

A majroty of that will be fixed with diets but, I can see an issue with other aquatics/semis when theyre added

wheat ridge
#

@willow sapphire there is a problem with nerfing herbis in a specific way, they are already barely herbi players on evrima or legacy , i think herbis in legacy suck but evrima herbis are pretty good and while they are quite balanced and attractive in their playstyle ( stego/ teno, the other 2 pretty much suck ass) you still see barely anyone play them, if they make them weaker they could just delete them, this was always a problem with this game

willow sapphire
#

makes sense, and understandable too. But I feel like the only herbi players in legacy is with things such as trike because they took a massive shit on anything other than an apex, with other mechanics hopefully there will be more lower tier - mid tier dinos and more herbis aswell

burnt citrus
#

Eventual AI additions of most dinos will fix that problem./

wheat ridge
#

ye, well on legacy with alt tun giga pretty much also shits on trike

granite gate
#

how long does it take to grow a tenonto?

#

also in legacy i literally never saw herbi death squads going around. most of the hard-hitting ones were too slow to actually be able to hunt anything down. only decently balanced herbi i can remember from legacy was maia

#

i think the big issue in evrima isnt that legacy somehow had better balanced herbis, the issue is that there arent any big herd spots like there were back in legacy (i.e, great falls or herbi hill)

#

hopefully diets will fix this. also i think nesting will help people be able to grow a herd more easily which is 90% of why people liked to play herbi in legacy -- it was to be a part of a large formidable herd

wheat ridge

teno takes 1 hour 45 mins i think

I mean, I haven't really witnessed a ptra killing problem. The only thing Ive witnessed killing Ptra is Dieno, it's not worth killing them for a lot of players when finding a ptra or two could mean carebearing to nearly adulthood. Im guilty of it too but, Im starting to realize the overlaying problem with it when I can land by a bunch of Carnos who I never met before and have them two call at me/juvis sit with me

dusky surge
#

i think ptera needs the bargaining tool honestly. Ptera's current design makes it really really easy food the moment it touches ground

reef sapphire
#

Having a Ptra carebear you to a decent size kinda defeats the point of the isle though.

dusky surge
#

utahs are one of the ptera's biggest predators atm, they will climb your perches, jump over rivers and track you for ages

dim radish

Everything is trying to kill everything at the moment

dusky surge

the moment you fuck up at any moment against a hungry utah stalking you, you are dead

Hence why you see juvie Utahs biting adult deinos

I dont join discords that much anymore so I just play on a lot of random servers, but Ive consistently lived a peaceful like playing ptra. I guess it veries.

dusky surge
#

idk, ptera seems like a more peaceful creature tbh

dim radish
dusky surge
#

it doesn't like picking fights so it just flies around, takes fish, scavenges leftover meat scraps from corpses and moves on

reef sapphire
#

Ive gotten bold/confident enough to remain relaxed near other predators that aren't dieno, and herbivores.

dim radish
dusky surge
#

i like their design, rather than going "all carnivores are killers" route, ptera juxtaposes this by being quite non-confrontational

dim radish
#

They just fly around and wait for corpses to fall for them to eat. This is why so many like to stick with herbivores, because they won't eat the bodies once their attacker dropped dead

dusky surge
#

i kinda really like the scavenger playstyle, and often tend to lean to scavenger while playing utah

#

it's why im excited for creatures like troodons, who are quite weak on their own but love to either steal food from a corpse or attack something and watch as it slowly dies

wraith spindle
#

I just feel bad for ending peoples runs

#

thats why I like ptera and herbivores

and when I play carnivore I just walk around eating already dead things or fish as much as a can and feed every rando I find

I am soooooo excited for the troodon playstyle, i really like the idea of a pack of utahs eating a corpse, then mimicing a carno roar nearby to scare them off so my pack can have it

i am very intruiged how the call mimicing is gonna happen

#

(also it's my favorite dinosuar so yes i am very unbiased and not at all geeking out for this)

dusky surge

i just want to be a hallucinogenic, food-stealing, voice-stealing tiny bastard

i'll probably drop utah once it comes out because its kit seems so stupid fun

fading pagoda
#

yes

#

absolutley

#

utah is great but i have never been the best at 1 on 1 combat

dusky surge
#

utah is meant for packs but troodon seems to be Utah but with even more pack focus

fading pagoda
#

and when i'm in a pack i feel as though i am dead weight because im bad at spacing anything that isnt pounce

dusky surge
#

i REALLY hope venom stacks and becomes worse with each bite because that'd be so funny

fading pagoda
fading pagoda
#

a pack of troodons would stay behind the scenes and trick you

dusky surge
#

just a swarm of these little idiots giving a teno a fucking acid trip

fading pagoda
#

where as a pack of utahs would swarm with overwhelming numbers and bleed as much as possible

fading pagoda
#

how fast do you think they will be?

#

in relation to other dinos

dusky surge
#

not as fast as utah i dont think

#

but pretty quick little bastards

fading pagoda
#

probably 3rd fastest

dusky surge
#

i'd imagine they'd be one of the smallest active predators (i don't count ptera because, well, it's ptera, it isn't really a predator)

fading pagoda
#

at least i hope

dusky surge
#

probably a jump, decent mid-high speed, high turning ability and lots of stealth potential.

fading pagoda
#

if it is faster than utah there is no way i will play anything else until any other creatures come out

#

i hope its faster than teno

#

thats all im asking for

dusky surge
#

i think it will likely be slower than utah, as it would spec (imo) entirely into stealth and trickery

dusky surge
#

it would lure players towards it or attack from the bushes

fading pagoda
#

i hope its the 3rd fastest

#

behind utah but before dryo

#

might be behind dryo

#

i could live with it being behind dryo

#

i just hope that it can outpace teno

dusky surge
#

think about the fact that it will more than likely have nocturnal abilities

#

i think the idea is that the troodon is the utah to dilo's carno

fading pagoda
#

hmmmm

dusky surge
#

utahs and carnos would be prime threats during day, but when night comes, troodons and dilos emerge

fading pagoda
#

the reason i want it to outspeed teno is because i want something that can kill those things without running headfirst into it

#

if they are faster, that way your pack can all get their bites in and not lose the target in the process

#

and once everyone has inflicted their venom (if it stacks) they can just kinda chase it until it drops

#

it would be very annoying if everyone got their bites in, then just lose the teno because they cant keep up with it

dusky surge
#

i mean

ripe zinc
#

there is no way a troodon can mimic a carno. it would just be physically impossible for the tiny troodon to match the sheer volume of the carno's mighty roar.

This feature is dripping with stomach turning, damage dealing, mind-altering nastiness

It seems to me that venom will inflict several levels of issues

#

and knowing venom, sprinting is a bad idea

#

as it works the poison through your veins

fading pagoda
dusky surge
#

so maybe troodon doesn't need to catch up

#

especially if it injects enough venom

fading pagoda
#

ok i'm convinced

dusky surge
#

venom, to me, seems like a specific form of bleeding and would likely be very similar, except it's specific to only few dinos

fading pagoda
#

i just want troodon to be moderatly fast

#

it would be nice if it outsped teno, but not a requirment in my opinion

fading pagoda
dusky surge
#

that too

#

venom is something you would quite literally have to wait out

#

and i can see why not many dinos have it

#

i'd imagine troodon having a very low base-damage

fading pagoda
#

yeah but if venom stacks with pack tactics then its gonna be a major threat

dusky surge
#

yea

fading pagoda
#

if venom doesnt stack, it better be very potent

#

but it seems like it will as its clearly meant to be in a pack

dusky surge
#

This nimble critter, while not particularly dangerous on it's own, can become quite problematic for a wide variety of creatures when operating in a coordinated group through the use of their venomous bite. Keep your wits about you. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. This creature is known to mimic certain noises.

We can confirm from this statement alone that troodon will be agile and decently fast, rely heavily on pack tactics and venom will more than likely stack

wraith spindle
#

Venoms description heavily implies that it will have some sort of hallucinogenic effect.

dusky surge
#

oh it will

wraith spindle
#

I have no clue how thats gonna work tho, but it's intruiging

dusky surge
#

that's practically confirmed

fading pagoda
#

if it does have a hallucinoginic effect that blinds things then there is no reason to every play hypsi ever again

dusky surge
#

as for dilo, that's weirder. I'm assuming dilo will drop the pack tactics of the troodon for better poison inflict and damage, more health, amazing night vision and so on. I don't think dilo will be as fast as troodon tho, something tells me they will more than likely balance him out with a slap to his stamina/runspeed

fading pagoda
#

at least until it can climb and its spray gets buffed

fading pagoda

although i would like NV herbis tbh

dryo seems like a cool candidate for that

fading pagoda
#

or even hypsi

#

once it can climb

since the big threats that are faster than it are daytime hunters

#

troodon would either have NV on par with or second to dilo

dusky surge

i can't see hypsi as a nighttime creature tbh

id like dryo to be the "hyper jumpy" dino

it is the first to know if something is coming and the first to dip from that encounter

off topic but i think quetzal should pick up smaller dinos and drop them to their death rather than fish like ptera

I'm against all of this

fading pagoda

it could climb like herrera and glide and ctch bugs

Relieving large herbivores of pests would imply there can be pests that you have to rely on other players to get rid of

wraith spindle

I think the quetz should have a massive stabbing peck that bleeds the snot out of people

Primitive birds are pretty useless if they're only there to clean the mouths of deinos

archaeopteryx is only slightly smaller than hypsi

maybe microraptor instead

people keep using small size as an argument and I feel like I'm missing how its even relevant

only dodos

slim dragon

Magys will stop you

dusky surge
#

nothing will stop my dodo uprising

#

Then, we move to H-Strain dodo

#

which is a dodo but 50% larger and 500% angrier

#

this is the hypsi size

#

its bulkier than micro but about as long

#

only slightly longer and taller

wraith spindle
#

we want micro

yeah

Like there's not enough playables already...

fading pagoda
#

also they are adding minmi so the small argument is kinda dumb

wraith spindle

#

Minmi is 10x the size of hypsi

fading pagoda
#

i thought it was tiny

slim dragon

#

planned is one thing

fading pagoda
#

#

what other burrowers are they gonna add?

#

i want ma HOLES

slim dragon
#

Confirmed burrowers are taco, proto and minmi
The ones that might be burrowers are dryo, oro, ava, megalania and velo

desert wave
#

people really never try to do some more unique manoeuvres in the water huh ? I got attacked twice by bigger deinos and won through diving under them, and behind them and continuing doing that while biting and survived.

fading pagoda
#

thats interesting

#

also how come every time i spawn center as a deino i get instantly crunched by a bigger one

slim dragon
#

Because all deinos are at center

#

And they camp spawns

fading pagoda
#

its not even just center

#

whenever i spawn south or southeast i just die to another deino

desert wave
fading pagoda
#

im not really super interesting in deino anyways, i was just wondering why it always happened

#

hot take but i find deino boring

#

sorry

slim dragon
#

It is

desert wave
#

I don't like playing deinos either. I've played it twice and both times I got attacked by bigger deinos, which i then killed since somehow diving down while biting and making some circles is too confusing for most deino mains. But deino get's boring after an hour so I always kill myself

Stego getting nerfed when? I just watched 1 stego kill 3 adult Deinos.

fading pagoda
#

yeah

slim dragon

#

once you get to a certain growth you are basically immortal as a deino. Only folding to stegos which you can easily avoid

#

Deino not boring plz, just the way of playing it badly, is boring.

fading pagoda
#

im going to ignore you

#

if you start

#

all you can do as a deino is sit and grow

#

and wait for something to drink

#

then you just instantly bite it and it dies almost 100% of the time

#

no thrill

#

no action

#

imo

#

i do wish that smaller creatures like hypsi and ptera can team up with larger herbis and hang out on their backs

#

it would be super fun

wraith spindle
#

agreed, yet I play it all the time

#

I feed randoms with fish I find

#

glad i aint the only one

I desperately want Beipi

fading pagoda
#

finally a different aquatic build

wraith spindle
#

I think its cool to be under water but I also want to make friends with people

fading pagoda
#

i want an ocean biome

#

with coral reefs and omanytes as AI

wraith spindle
#

and not have to be afk for 5 hours to FINALLY be allowed to even play the game

fading pagoda
#

that way all the pterasaurs can fish on the ocean like they were EVOLVED TO and mososaurus can be playable

wraith spindle

#

and it would be awesome for spino

oopsie

ocean reef biome, with amanytes, mososaurs, plesiosaurs dolychoeencops

I understand the cannibal reference, but in the "Jungle Law" that doesnt exist, Lions kill Lions for prey/territory or any form of competition.

#

But yes, Deino has a certain way to play, with its features.

silent comet
# dim crown I understand the cannibal reference, but in the "Jungle Law" that doesnt exist, ...

Well, luckily we are humans and no animals and we don't kill each others for competition. In a game like this, it can be a rude behaviour to some people if they spend 4 hours to grow their Deino and get killed by a full grown and have no chance in defending themselves. On the other side I understand the cannibalism and I see it as a important part of the game, it adds more ways to play and makes you choose if you want to be a villain or no and for me cannibalism is kinda needed to balance overpopulated dinos like Carno or Deino.

dim crown
#

We will kill for competition, in a near future, lets start getting rdy for it TI_dondiSmile

#

Overpopulations issues, like Deino&Carno issue you talking about have their days counted.

#

Theres an even greater issue in these latest versions.

#

80%-90% of servers population are mainly "stuck" on 3 or 4 locations, by their choice, that even raises issues, to the servers also, just not the game, like more LAG more DSYNC.

@willow sapphire first of all, teno is literally supposed to fight anything in its own weight class and below. carno is most certainly in its own weight class and carno isnt even meant to fight things like teno. after all it is a small game hunter. second of all if you make it so things cant survive if they are in a herd then those herds will never form, you have to be able to survive on your own. third of all, upvoting your own suggestion TI_Yikes

@wraith spindleAs for your complaint about Deino - it's the same for Carno(and to a certain extent Stego but these guys rarely fight one another). These animals just rely on getting the first hit in when fighting their own species. Utah(and possibly Ptera) is the only carnivore that isn't entirely reliant on getting the first hit off in a fight against its own species. Both Carno and Deino are not maneuverable enough to where skill would be a large factor in determining the victor. It's all down to who bit first and who has less locked health.

wraith spindle
#

they should 100% rework it tho, I want skill to affect it at least a bit

hallow spire
#

It’s funny seeing how ppl were saying nerf tenonto😂

fading pagoda
hallow spire
#

Like a tenonto should definitely be able to kill a carno hell a carno shouldn’t even be hunting a tenonto in the first place unless there’s 2 of them or more but they’ll still definitely get beat up for going after something that’s nearly there sizeTI_Wheeze

fading pagoda
#

yeah

#

anything thats takes the same amount or longer than you to grow you should not be actively hunting unless u have a large pack

hallow spire
#

Yea

#

Carno should stick to hunting smaller things that’s why I think one day carno is gonna get a nerf somehow for it to be better suited to hunt smaller things and discourage it to try to hunt things like stego or deino unless it’s in a big pack

fading pagoda
#

yeah

#

i agree completely

#

troodon is gonna help put carno in its place

#

As a lot of the carno bandwagoners are gonna play troodon instead because its a new offensive carnivore

#

it will also help because it is described as very nimble and only has to get a single bite off to set the poison in

#

its even worse in packs

Carno should absolutely be hunting Tenonto. I don't see a single reason why it should be unable to do that.

slim dragon
#

Carno hunted small sauropods now ?
It should have been tiny ones

hollow canyon
#

Not really, Carno was actually more so suited to hunting animals larger than itself irl. It didn't just focus on small game to our current understanding.

#

Not that it matters since it's a game but

fading pagoda
#

tenonto is not small game

#

even if its not historically accurate, thats how it is designed in the game

zenith vessel
fading pagoda
#

plain and simple. Tenonto is not meant to be carno prey

#

its meant to be allo prey
