the QA is also filled with toxic herbivore clan people so

vagrant mural
#

at least in terms of unnecesary mechanics

alpine plover
#

there’s always herbivore bias

dusky surge
#

I mean, the Isle seems to be on the opposite end

vagrant mural
#

trope makes me physically angry

alpine plover
#

90% of bob players are afk apato saichania mains anyways

dusky surge
#

New patch is pretty good for herbis tho, which is my fave part about it

versed rune
#

Playing BoB was unironically the most miserable experience i have ever had in any video game

alpine plover
versed rune
#

It’s genuinely the worst video game I’ve ever played in life

#

And yeah fuck bird mains in bob

alpine plover
#

it’s sometimes fun, but that fun goes away when a 800.0 tropeo left clicks you

vagrant mural
#

I've played a decent amount of worse games

versed rune
#

I hopped on my icthyovenator ive had for months the other day and had to run away and log because a fucking pteranodon was taking out 20% of my hp per bite

vagrant mural
versed rune
#

The only reason I LIVED was because I was semi aquatic and could dive deep enough to escape

#

If I was a megalo or a rex or anything else I would’ve died

alpine plover
#

It’s funny how trope has a water dart

vagrant mural
#

the fact they gave them darts to this day astounds me

alpine plover
#

are they really that biased

#

that they give a op injury machine a dart underwater

#

so aquatics aren’t even safe

vagrant mural
alpine plover
#

This is realistic guys trust me

versed rune
#

Why dinosaurs can grow anything beyond 1.2 is beyond me

vagrant mural
#

let me see if I can find the image that literally says that

alpine plover
#

actually, forget about realism. This is just about pure logic now

#

That physically cannot happen

#

yet it’s bob

#

so

versed rune
#

If you capped growth at 1.2 for all dinosaurs the game would be so much more tolerable

alpine plover
#

infinite growth destroys the game

#

8.0 combat apatos

versed rune
#

Creates a greasy elitist atmosphere

alpine plover
#

real life guys

tacit oriole
alpine plover
#

Soon as I read that I immediately stopped

vagrant mural
#

spinosaurids were able to launch into the atmosphere

versed rune
#

It’s for their own good

alpine plover
#

nothing about bob is realistic

dusky surge
versed rune
#

Every carnivore in BoB sucks honestly

alpine plover
#

Krono definitely launched itself 300000 feet in the air, it did this guys!

tacit oriole
#

BoB is definitely on the arcade end of the spectrum, with some seriously janky mechanics trying to masquerade as realism

vagrant mural
#

pachy is a better carni than any of the actual carnis

dusky surge
#

not to mention the fact that pachy launches its opponents into the fucking sun

versed rune
#

But if they ever add carno to BoB it’ll prob be the equivalent of trope in terms of how op it is

#

Cause you know

#

Predatoria

alpine plover
#

Dinosauriac

vagrant mural
#

the devs want aram

#

I can only imagine the pain

alpine plover
#

I wonder if they’ll ever add carno

#

It would be really interesting tbh

vagrant mural
#

its on the favored list

#

not confirmed by the devs or paid for yet, but its a defenite possibility

versed rune
#

Holy shit. BoB hasn’t added a new dino in almost a year

#

Wtf

alpine plover
#

Isle carno will always be the best interpretation of carno

#

can’t beat it

#

Pce Carno is cool too, but then again it’s pce

vagrant mural
versed rune
alpine plover
#

that one too

versed rune
#

Perfect blend between realism and awesomebro

vagrant mural
#

they keep doing remodels that arguably look worse than some of their current models

alpine plover
#

yeah utah is supposedly coming, but it’s been awhile now

#

forget the remodels, release utah

vagrant mural
#

the problem with utah is that it isn't paid for by a community member

versed rune
#

We need this for the isle

vagrant mural
#

which is their top priority for some reason

versed rune
#

No more JP utah bulllcrap

alpine plover
#

I wonder how rl utah would work in the isle

vagrant mural
#

it wouldn't

alpine plover
#

since carno is also a ambush predator

#

And can do it’s job

#

But better

vagrant mural
#

I'm all for the model change but utah would not stand a chance against any mid tier

versed rune
#

I was thinking more along the lines of “fuck realism, make utah function the same as it does now but give it that model”

vagrant mural
#

^

alpine plover
#

that would be cool

#

Not many people like feathers though

#

for some reason

vagrant mural
#

wrong

alpine plover
#

Shut up I’ll kill you

versed rune
#

People who like naked raptors more than feathered ones are incorrect

vagrant mural
#

feather fans are everywhere

alpine plover
#

Where

vagrant mural
versed rune
#

feathered carno TI_Trollge

vagrant mural
#

brb

alpine plover
#

I will look in my mailbox, it is currently 4 am this is a good idea

#

Feathered carno is no thanks

vagrant mural
sinful cove
#

They should rename current utah to Skinraptor and see how many people still play it

versed rune
#

I’ve seen that one LOL

alpine plover
#

Kinda like it

#

For some reason

versed rune
#

I actually don’t mind the colors...

alpine plover
#

Pretty

vagrant mural
#

the colors ain't bad

#

I just find the mohawk ridiculous

versed rune
#

If it didn’t have the mowhawk it would be worse honestly

#

Because then it’d just be a feathered carno

alpine plover
#

Feathered carno is just uncanny

vagrant mural
#

side profile

alpine plover
#

Full body doesn’t look too bad actually

versed rune
#

At least with the mowhawk it shows the artist INTENDED for it to look bizarre

#

Without it it’s just feathered carno and that’s a no no

vagrant mural
#

also didn't carno get like an integument change or something

versed rune
#

It’s suspension of disbelief really

versed rune
versed rune
#

Oh yeah I saw that on Twitter today

#

Basically just a skin description

vagrant mural
#

yeah no more neat rows

alpine plover
vagrant mural
#

amazing

tacit oriole
#

It would probably have a thicker neck though, like a seal or penguin

mental roost
#

Does anyone else ever wish that Stego would get an attack that's not so awkward and clumsy??

tacit oriole
#

Not really, seems to fit the bill for me

#

It's not exactly a graceful animal

alpine plover
mental roost
#

Read my message again.. But slowly.

#

It's bigger than a Rhino, but that's not really a good reason for its primary defense to feel so weird(ei, camera shenanigans.. more control over tail swings would be nice.. and an actual swing instead of the Poke of death

tacit oriole
mental roost
#

||I honestly used to think that a Rhino was only 2 tons....Well that's interesting to know..||

tacit oriole
mental roost
#

I knew Rhinos were big, just not that big, rip.. Learn something new at least... Still wish Stego's attacks could see some improvements(rearrange controls, and rework the back swing... ei, hold alt + left or right click as a call back to the original tail swing, so the camera still plays a part but the side is different.. if that makes sense(offers more freedom of camera.. and can take that further with a light swing or something for the default..-le shrug-. . I'd like to not have my swings miss when I know I can hit something but end up swinging the wrong way..

Just asking for more control and less clunk(Deino's alt bite is much smoother in comparison..outside of being really good, even with its THANKFULLY new stamina drain)

carmine charm
#

To be honest i dont know why is there so much difference between day and night cycle. Is there any reason DEVS?

alpine plover
#

Whenever I enter the server, the window to select a dinosaur does not appear, but it bounces off the server. What should I do?
Am I Banned?

tacit oriole
hallow spire
#

@cedar shore agreed the fights seem less exciting imo

cedar shore
#

Like utahs should have a chance to take on stegos so they at least try, it will make gameplay much more interresting for the raptors that have to work together in an intense fight and the stego who was to defend itself from multiple smaller carnivores

proper zephyr
#

I don’t mean to sound rude, but maybe give your reasons as to why it’s unenjoyable in your feedback message
yeah I think some things were thrown out of wack this update, but just saying that it’s less enjoyable and nothing else isn’t really helping the devs without reasons

winged bison
#

How much damage does a steggo tail attack do? Is it still 1000 or is it different now? If it was in patch notes I missed it

tacit oriole
#

So I'm seeing some weird stuff with blood regen - every 10% below full takes twice time that the previous 10% took

#

e.g. for a teno, 90->100 is 1:12, 80->90 is 2:23, 70->80 is 4:48. Or, to put it another way, 90->100 is 1:12, 80->100 is 3:36, 70->100 is 6:01

#

(standing, sitting is half that time, and no difference between standing and walking/trotting/sprinting)

#

Which implies that blood quantity affects regen rate in addition to stamina

oak wind
#

I feel like

#

a lot of people do not get the current balance that's good but actually not because of power gapes.

tacit oriole
#

I feel like theres a lot of people doing armchair maths to work out balance rather than actually playing and experiencing it

#

For those curious, food and water does NOT affect blood regen rate

oak wind
#

Thing is that, Stego isn't meant to be hunted by any predators in the roster.

#

Utah isn't meant to hunt a lot of animals in the roster as well.

primal dove
oak wind
#

I can see problems for Carno's alt.

dusky surge
#

@chrome marsh was a nerf to utah needed? perhaps. did it deserve to be gutted and left to die? Absolutely not

tacit oriole
#

Saying "The current balance isn't an issue because that is the way it is meant to be" is circular logic of the worse kind

chrome marsh
#

instant reply MOMENT LOL

oak wind
#

Utah is now a smaller prey hunter and a large animal hunter, except Tyreophoras.

#

It could go for slower Hadrosaurs.

primal dove
oak wind
#

But we don't have them

dusky surge
#

Utah can't bleed, it can't damage, it can't tank

chrome marsh
#

yall just diodnt see how scuffed utah was before. lmao. period

dusky surge
#

Okay, yea

#

Utah was not the best before

#

But now?

#

It deserved the nerf but not destruction

chrome marsh
#

surviving at it is fine, you can get away from things you can fight enough things to gain food.

oak wind
tacit oriole
#

If you want to prove Utah is viable: Hit us with a VoD real quick of them killing something that isn't a dryo or a noob

oak wind
#

Current mid are anti smaller animals as well'

primal dove
#

what triggers me the most is that the current bleed has only little to do with the bleed we have in the roadmap

chrome marsh
#

hunt in a pack, dont be a pepega in fight and ur fine.

everyone malding now thta utah reqcuires briancells

dusky surge
chrome marsh
#

like unironically this is just purely dumb.

tacit oriole
#

Still yet to see a utah pack kill anything

tacit oriole
#

servers are just stegos and tenos now

chrome marsh
#

me seeing pack kill carno 😳

tacit oriole
#

VoD kgo

primal dove
oak wind
#

Ava, Dryos, thing a bit smaller and very larger animals like Para.

tacit oriole
#

Don't justify current balance on 2023 roster

oak wind
#

I mean

dusky surge
#

Dryos legit can just outrun a fucking utah lmao. Best you can do is a hypsi

oak wind
#

That's what Utah is meant to go as Solo

#

I mean.

#

Ambush Dryo

oak wind
#

Pounce it

tacit oriole
#

Step 1. Have players roll dryo

#

wait...

dusky surge
#

Carns are faster, stronger, healtheir and better at killing 75% of the roster

oak wind
#

They're meant to kill smaller animals for now.

#

Alt is just too strong.

tacit oriole
#

What smaller animals?

#

Dryo? aint nobody playing dryo

oak wind
#

Utah, Dryo, juveniles, Tenonto.

cedar shore
#

@chrome marsh no

chrome marsh
#

i sleep/

tacit oriole
#

Still waiting on that VoD of a utah pack making a kill

cedar shore
#

There is so much counterplay for utahs they never needd a nerf in the first place

dusky surge
#

"Utah is meant to kill smaller animals". Then play carno. Utah is "meant" to be a pack hunter that takes down larger targets, and the damage nerf was a step in the right direction, but the bleed reduction was straightup stupid

oak wind
#

Utah needed a nerf

#

Before it was overtuned health wise

dusky surge
#

Health and damage nerf I understand and agree with

tacit oriole
#

Tell you what. I'll go teno, you and 5 other utahs try and kill me. I'm a pretty poor teno too

chrome marsh
#

utah bbeing put into its niche now, now people cant kill apexes now anymore wah wah

oak wind
#

Had good damages as well

#

Also stamina.

#

Didn't need to have Stam and speed.

chrome marsh
#

utah is finally what its supposed to be now.
the malding is funny

oak wind

Speed and agility is enough.

utah packs can vioably kill a carno, carno being the apex of the roster atm next to stego so whats your point

chrome marsh
#

oh we could

chrome marsh
#

dryo moment

dusky surge
cedar shore
chrome marsh
#

dont rlly have them, but ill enjoy the crying 👍

#

utah recquires braincells now, like it should. get over it

oak wind
#

Carno is meant to destroy Utah anyway. Utah just have to slide, dodge and try to get away as Carno has a worse stamina.

dusky surge
#

Glad carno mains still don't have to use their brains lmao

primal dove
#

then ur arguments dont make sense since u cant prove them TI_UhOh

cedar shore
oak wind
#

Islecord

dusky surge
#

Of course, only utah should use their brain because IT is the only braindead dino in this game

oak wind
chrome marsh
#

pressing right click is strategy? Okay lol

tacit oriole
#

I'm in a private server right now where we have 8 utahs trying to kill two tenos, and they got absolutely wrecked over and over

chrome marsh
cedar shore
oak wind
#

They're not meant to hunt Teborno

cedar shore
#

just biting everything

chrome marsh
#

talking abt pounce

oak wind
#

Tenonto

tacit oriole
#

and we were shit tenos

dusky surge
oak wind
#

Tenonto is a small tier counter

#

It destroys them

chrome marsh
#

nothing recquires strategy. combat is still as bland as it was before

dusky surge
#

At least pressing RMB has penalty if you miss kek

tacit oriole
#

They faired no better against carnos fyi.

primal dove

#

utah was way over tuned it got smacked hard with the nerf bat it might be a little too much right now but everything can be adjusted everything is a wip

cedar shore
chrome marsh
#

synergy coming in with the facts

dusky surge
#

Admit you hate utah and move on, I don't love utah but I like game design. What they did to utah is literally such a hard nerf it completely invalidates the animal when compared to the infinitely superior carno

chrome marsh
#

i still believe its fine rn, but it was way overtuned before.

tacit oriole
#

So lets see: Utah Pack vs Teno (wrecked) carno (wrecked) stego (wrecked) dryo (don't exist) Deino (waterboys) Ptera (flying) Hypsi (don't exist)

cedar shore
tacit oriole
#

Tell me again what they are meant to kill

chrome marsh
#

i did my dear

its been 14 hours, i am alive and well.

And no, you can't say "utahs are only allowed to kill solo babies"

14 hrs ive been awake and playing btw.

chrome marsh

shows how scuffed this roster is

cedar shore
primal dove
#

tell me what was so overtuned with the utah in update 3?

tacit oriole
#

The proof is in the pudding. I'll DM my server, you put your money where your mouth is, and show me.

chrome marsh
#

its viable. you can survive easily.
its so easy to tell you all just want to kill things oput of your league

oak wind
tacit oriole
#

'cos I've not yet seen a utah group who can get squat done.

chrome marsh
tacit oriole
cedar shore
#

Let the game be fun come on. If you guys want to play a game where everyone runs around as medium and large dinosaurs then i understand your point. Because right now noone wants to play small tier dinosaurs

chrome marsh
#

tfw not even full roster, yet ppl want to kill stego and carno when its not supposed to be their prey

dusky surge
tacit oriole
#

Utahs can't eat imaginary future roster items my dudes.

#

Maia and Para aren't btw.

primal dove

#

So what @chrome marsh and @oak wind are basically saying is: Don't play utah until some future patch when they actually have prey. Solid balancing, 10/10

But mid tiers are anti Utah.

utah was scuffed as fuck before and yet ppl cried abt it being shit alrdy. shows.

Yes, make it an actual viable pick until it has a niche to fill. At the moment, under your own admission, it is soft-removed from the game.

Why would you do tweak again Utah for things it isn't meant to go for to then change again?

primal dove
dusky surge
tacit oriole

Nobody is interested in your personal attacks meygops.

chrome marsh

utah was NOT balanced before LMAO

cedar shore

Can we all just agree that this update make the game less enjoyable? It pretty much eliminated allmost all of smaller dinosaurs

chrome marsh

like unironicaly this aint even funny.

primal dove

i can VOD proof

chrome marsh

its enjoyable to me, at least

No one here is saying utah was perfect how it was, people are saying it was done too dirty

^^^^

cedar shore
safe anchor
oak wind
#

Just, it isn't good against mid tiers because : Tenonto is anti small tiers, Carno is small tier predator.

#

Also Stego is an anti flanker.

tacit oriole
#

Again, "It is that way because it is meant to be that way" is just circular logic.

oak wind
#

Utah is a flanker.

dusky surge

I just hope the devs make the right decicion in the next update to get the utah playerbase back up again

tldr, full roster isnt in yet,
So balance will always change
utah is a pack hunter, and can reliably kill small tiers and more up,
carno and stego shouldnt be on its food list.
utah can get away from things, if needed to, nothing has to be instantly killed, fights should take time and not be done in seconds.

This update is everything roleplayers wished for

utah is a flanker now tho wh

oak wind
tacit oriole
#

This is just turning into bickering. The proof is in the quantity of utahs you now see on official servers, and it is virtually non-existant

cedar shore
#

I feel like people want the utah nerf because they kept dying to it because they didnt know how to counterplay it

frosty heron
#

Utah isn't a flanker. It's a piece of meat right now

dusky surge
#

lets not use hours as an argument lmao

oak wind
#

It goes for large animal flanks. Heavy ones like multiple tons such as Maiasaura, Para and possibly Shant.

i saw enough utahs play tbf,
but literally i guess im the only one

oak wind
chrome marsh

^^

#

again, roster isnt full, therefore the niche cant be fully filled

oak wind
#

If they change again Utah

tacit oriole
#

Right. So it doesn't have prey and is not viable in the game.

#

Hence

chrome marsh
#

diets, full roster etc etc,

oak wind
#

It will need to be changed over again

tacit oriole
#

utah is trash

frosty heron
oak wind
#

Add Pachy.

tacit oriole
#

I'll get right on that one, brb

oak wind
#

Add other animals.

chrome marsh
#

doesnt mean utah should be like before where 2 utahs can reliably kill a stego, an apex

oak wind
#

Don't go full small roster or medium.

tacit oriole
#

Or - and hear me out - maybe DON'T nerf it into the ground before it's actual prey has been added? Crazy.... crazy... but just maybe

frosty heron
#

Which have been a problem since the beginning, people has PTSD with Legacy Utah and they want the playable to just be useless

oak wind
#

Add Para, add Maia, Add Allo, Add Styraco, Add Acro, Add Galli, Add Pachy and such animals.

#

Power gapes will be filed.

#

New interesting playables.

tacit oriole
#

I'm glad we all came to an agreement, though. Utah is soft-removed from the game right now.

Add what they need.

#

As they've already said.

dusky surge
#

i hate how utah is being made out to be a smallgame hunter, because you guys are giving it the position of "carno-lite". It needs to have SOME kind of larger game utility

oak wind
#

Then mid tiers are bad plans.

golden coral

#

The best I see happening with utah is it becoming the designated human hunter, since its entire toolkit basically is designed to fuck up humans

There was a time where Utahs were deadly pack hunters, now I can just pick Carno and laught at them

tacit oriole

everyone thinks if we want buffs for utah that we should be able to 1v2 fucking rexes or shit like that

if utah was like its rl form, then sure go ahead

but our utah is a scrawny rat , designed to be a pack hunter

primal dove

and not the chunktah solo hunter

false.

again though, our utah isnt chunkytah.
sio it shouldnt be played like one.

golden coral
tacit oriole
#

Look, when I was doing number gathering I thought Utah had a chance. Their pounce combined with new blood pools looked actually viable. But their one tool - pounce - is so stupidly easy to counter and prevent they just have nothing. It's like having Civil War militiamen in WW3

assriding was a problem on non alt only

frosty heron
#

"There was a time where a NiMbLe rat Ootah assride my Trike and yet I'm still hurt about its loss, Utah should burn in hell"

and non alt, was simply misconception of combat.

omg non alters in chat SCimgoingINSANE

tacit oriole
frosty heron
#

I also don't understand why having a JP ripoff is an issue, devs decisions should be respected

#

On terms of design, Isle never has meant to be a paleoaccurate dinosaur game

#

Just check on having humans or the existence of strains

chrome marsh
#

its an issue, because everyone plays utah as the solo hunter it was irl.

and not like the scrawny jp knockoff it is

golden coral
# primal dove so a shant should just be able to turn in place ig

No, it should have proper attacks and trample really. The problem with alt/no alt was that there was no other way, barring either tricks (including stop-stomping that with collision should not be a thing, as we've seen with deino/stego), and envrionment. But of course "alt spinning" is stupid for everyone, not just the large animals. It's so much better in Evrima with proper movement for everything.

chrome marsh
#

either play it like its meant to be.

or change it to solo chionktah ( real chad )

#

which is- not happening

primal dove
tacit oriole
#

Don't get me wrong, lost blood takes ages to replace - and the stamina regen sucks - but utah pounce dismount still isn't safe and you can't reliably cycle through a target

frosty heron
#

Give us a Indoraptor so I can solo animals far bigger than me and make them go salty

chrome marsh
#

it was said utah dismount should get faster iirc? which i can agree can be a tad faster

#

but thats the only change i could accept

golden coral
tacit oriole
#

It is better, but still not good enough atm

chrome marsh
#

its still rather slow

primal dove
#

change the bleed, it is nowhere near the one described in the trello

chrome marsh
#

my guy be yawning and stretching before getting up

golden coral
#

The bleed in general you mean?

frosty heron
#

Sad part is Stego has enought reach that it still capable of killing Utahs on dismount, which is kinda lame

tacit oriole
#

In a low-lag environment where everyone has low ping it mostly works, but hop on NA1 with people with 200+ ping and it's another story

chrome marsh
#

pounce should still be punishable

#

if done wrong

frosty heron
tacit oriole
#

We aren't talking about falling off, we are talking about a supposed safe dismount

frosty heron
#

You can get killed on normal dismount Lol

chrome marsh
#

what. just run

#

how

#

lmao how

frosty heron
chrome marsh
#

how long did it take you to run

tacit oriole
#

You can't start running straight away

#

there is 1/4 sec where you aren't moving at all, completing the animation, then usually there is about 0.5s of forced trot

chrome marsh
#

idk i was able to get away, i didnt continue my fight tho with the steg

tacit oriole
#

that is more than enough for a teno to turn and slash

#

or a stego to tail swipe you

#

remembering 90 degree swipes are quicker than normal ones

chrome marsh
#

then the stego had a bad attentiuon span

golden coral
#

Would it be better with a touch more distance and no "stun" on landing then?

chrome marsh
tacit oriole
#

Lots of noob stegos on atm. New apex.

chrome marsh
#

like utah.

#

lots of noob utahs aswell

tehres smart stegos, and smart utahs.
i barely see smart utahs tho

tacit oriole
#

yes, but my statements are around experienced players in an artificial sandbox server, not randoms in survival

hollow canyon
#

I'm not sure why you guys are talking about some PTSD to do with the legacy. Utah in Evrima's been better than Utah in the legacy at least until the first patch after update 3 was released.

chrome marsh
#

lmao vid shows you can get away easily enough

#

u just have find a dumb stego

tacit oriole
#

Like I said. Spent hours trying to make it work and couldn't. Survival servers have matched my testing.

frosty heron
chrome marsh
#

or play smart

#

survival is priority rn btw,

not the sandbox shit

hollow canyon
frosty heron
hollow canyon
#

You could kill a Carno too I guess or a Cerato but neither of those was a Utah-favoured match up

chrome marsh
#

everything ive read so far sounds dumb aswell 😄

frosty heron
hollow canyon
#

Admittedly Cerato was not good at actually hunting Utahs either

#

Ah, no-alt turn servers

chrome marsh
#

like to people stego players are aperantly dumb, so whats the problem,

#

it still baffles me that people genuienly believe they should take on a stego.

frosty heron
#

And even on alt it had far more prey options that could kill with ease, even as solo

hollow canyon
#

That wasn't the intended experience of the game but tbh I've died to Utahs only once on a not alt turn server when I was very new to the game

tacit oriole
hollow canyon
#

Past that point I haven't had any issues handling them as an apex

chrome marsh
#

i didnt.

hollow canyon
#

or mid tier for that matter

chrome marsh
#

where did i say that

frosty heron
chrome marsh
#

i said you can get away from a stego reliably.

hollow canyon
#

I only really feared them as a Dilo because it's just a bad match up for Dilo

chrome marsh
#

not that you can take on it

chrome marsh
#

before the update

frosty heron
chrome marsh
#

read. please.

hollow canyon
#

Yea so I really don't think Utah was that good in the legacy

chrome marsh
#

utah before these current updates, could reliably kill a stego.

hollow canyon
#

it was just infuriatingly fast

#

making them unhuntable to pretty much the entire roster of carnivores

#

Allo and Carno were pretty much the only two that posed a threat to them out of carnivores

frosty heron
#

I'm still thinking Legacy Utah was absurdly OP compared to the fragile shit we have now

hollow canyon
#

I think legacy Utah is pretty meh compared to Utah up to first patch after update 3

#

now Utah is a bit too weak imo

chrome marsh
#

utah was ok in legacy sorta.
it could kill shit that it shouldnt kill, but its, legacy utah is kinda hard to pinpoint imo

hollow canyon
#

although I disagree with the statements that there are no Utahs - I literally spawn in and bump into them even now

chrome marsh
#

legacy was a fuckfest anyway

true sonnet
#

Is utah realy that weak

chrome marsh
#

utahs are everywhere

#

the 'there are no utah' doesnt apply to me

tacit oriole
#

What server?

hollow canyon
#

It's a bit too weak vs Tenonto, its inertia might be too slightly too high atm

chrome marsh
#

eu 4

#

kinda every eu

#

tbf

tacit oriole
#

I want to see this. Hopping on

#

'cos NA is deserted as far as utahs are concerned

hollow canyon
#

I'm hearing a Utah and a juv Deino next to me I think I'm on EU6

#

I'm a Utah too

chrome marsh
#

yuh

frosty heron
#

I mean people will still pick Utah, there's lots of people who doesn't even know what the patch did to them, and also there's people who will just pick it because it can jump on rocks

tacit oriole
#

Yeah, seen lots of utahs who don't know that bite does nothing

frosty heron
#

But a person who actually wants to survive and pick something it can fight, you go for something else like Carno

chrome marsh
#

its kinda good it needs to rely on its unique mechanic now

tacit oriole
#

When I was teno there was a whole pack trying to headbite me down... like dudes I can just slash you twice and you gotta bail

frosty heron
hollow canyon
#

I don't think its biteforce should've been nerfed this much

chrome marsh
#

better than utah spam biting

#

very fun, epic comnat

#

woww

I'd personally bring it up to ~75-85N for now and see where it goes from there

tacit oriole

Yea I don't think it's EU4, I've been there testing Tenonto for a bit and the server was pretty empty

As I said - I can hear one next to me and I'm another Utah

CurseD one single bitd

hollow canyon
#

I've just started growing though

#

young Deino and young Carno are somewhere nearby too

chrome marsh
#

just so i can play utah long enough to come to the realizaion i survive just fine

hollow canyon
#

I might try to go for the Carno when I get to 50% growth and see how that goes

chrome marsh
#

which balance should be around-

survival

#

not battleground pvp 24/7

#

dipping from a fight isnt loo

tacit oriole
#

most people want to fight, not hide in bushes

chrome marsh
#

omg i cant type

#

losing*

tacit oriole
#

we get what you mean

chrome marsh
#

too bad this game isnt purely pvp

hollow canyon
#

I think I'm hearing 3-4 Utahs now, one north from me and 2 or 3 to the south. You might want to spawn in the centre

tacit oriole
#

For most people fighting it the axle which the game revolves around

#

Eating and drinking in TI is like looting buildings in PubG

chrome marsh
#

wip game, not even full roster

tacit oriole
#

it's a mechanic, but not the point

chrome marsh
#

diets will change things.
more playables will change things

#

what we have rn, is not even a scratch of the full thing

tacit oriole
chrome marsh
#

utah most likely will go thru 100 buffs and nerfs again

#

but it is

tacit oriole
#

If utahs need to be shifted a tier up to be viable in this roster well... that's a better solution than soft-removing

frosty heron
#

Ffs, who the fuck doesn't launches Isle Evrima today to log on and start killing stuff? It's the current state of the game

chrome marsh
#

balanced around now

frosty heron
#

Don't tell me people logs in to play bush eater simulator and chat with friends

chrome marsh
#

and aorund now, utah got a nerf that was needed,
while i think dismount still should be faster

#

👍

chrome marsh

people want docktah play back

frosty heron
chrome marsh
tacit oriole
#

Well so far bushsitting hearing a lot of utah 1 calls, so

chrome marsh
#

surviving doesnt mean you sit in a bush

#

just so u know

frosty heron
#

But nerfs hit us so hard we're forced to be Rocktahs now

chrome marsh
#

the bushsitting is merely a thing rn, bc gameplay loop is literally non existant

frosty heron
#

By popular opinion, Sadge

tacit oriole
#

My bush doesn't outclass my 2.3 damage bite so I'm happy here

chrome marsh
#

evrima still as boring as legacy was

#

so pvp lowkey only the thing to do anyway.

#

which is just bad game design

#

so god bless when diet, perks and all that jazz comes

tacit oriole
#

Exactly. It's a Dinosaur Fighting Game in a big survival framework

chrome marsh
#

not entirely

frosty heron
tacit oriole
#

This isn't Kerbal Dinosaur Program

chrome marsh
#

its fight game rn, bc its barely polished

frosty heron
#

It's like Ark playerbase, PvE players hate PvP and viceversa

chrome marsh
#

itll become less of a fight agme the more polished

#

thats my point

#

remember biomes will also have you far away from certain animals

#

you might not even get close to stego anymore as utah

#

try to find it, lose ur buffs bc u left ur biome/area

dusky surge
#

Honestly, if pachy and utah have a decent 50/50 matchup, i think i'll be fine

tacit oriole
#

If the thrill of simply surviving was enough to draw players, we would see more dryos and less stegos

chrome marsh
#

60/50 for pachy at least , 1v1
have you seen the chonker

#

pachy is bigger

hollow canyon
dusky surge
chrome marsh
#

one blow to the head to utah? bye utah

dusky surge
#

I think utah, if it plays smart, should be allowed to take down pachy, but play carefully around pachy's attacks because it will kick their ass

chrome marsh
#

dont think utah will stand normal when its brain just got mushed

tacit oriole
#

I liked old dryo that could actually threaten big stuff. Felt like a naked Dark Souls run, and you died a lot, but it was so much fun

dusky surge
#

I liked legacy dryo more than any other dryo variation

chrome marsh
#

carni dryo

#

beyond cursed

dusky surge
#

Legacy dryo had horror elements, which I heavily enjoyed

tacit oriole
chrome marsh
#

no

hollow canyon
tacit oriole
#

More importantly: 4 utahs should be able to threaten 4 pachy

#

'cos 1v1 doesn't always scale up to group vs group

hollow canyon
#

I view that match up as similar to Carno vs Tenonto but among the small tiers

frosty heron
#

Imagine adding a prey Item for roughly the same weight and not being able to 1v1 it

hollow canyon
#

I think the Pachy's going to be upsized compared to its irl version

tacit oriole
#

"But Utah is a small game hunter" when

An animal even an Human can kick and kill

graceful wolf
#

Just saw 3 tenos wreck 10 utahs. 6 utahs died and the rest ran away. None of the tenos died

tacit oriole
#

This patch honestly felt like a Principle Skinners meme "Sir, the utahs aren't using pounce. Should we buff it?" "No, it is the players who are wrong. Nerf everything else"

#

Anyway, back on topic: Got to the bottom of the weird blood regen. The last 10% heals at double speed

Matches my experience

woot I'm a quarter grown, nearly as strong as a hypsi

I found one utah so far, sadly it was in the jaws of a deino

I can hear them but they are just sprinting around so baby me can't really join them

I think Teno vs Utah is great now. I had a huge battle yesterday with 5 adults who tried to bleed me to death. One Utah survived and kept on tailing me, I could tell this was a very smart player. Only went in when it was possible etc. This cat and mouse game only ended after 30 minutes; he got my Teno down to orange health bar on its own and if he didnt get a lag spike at the end, mayyybe he would have been able to kill me. My point is that I had a lot of fun with this battle because it look a lot longer. Yes, Utah is glass now, but a smart one can deal a ton of damage and it becomes a battle of who loses stam the fastest and the most.

fresh laurel
#

think utahs requires you to be too smart to use rn imo

primal dove
#

wdym with deal damage? We deal 55 dmg and a teno has 2k health, but yea u can still kill them if it´s a raw 1v1

proper zephyr
#

I’m curious if Deino is now fine balance wise since it’s alt takes stam and it can’t just walk inside a stego and murder it with bullshit headshots

runic cliff
#

Yes but Teno burns his stam fast now, utahs need to play on time and be smart and stealthy

primal dove
#

Problem is players make 213301482171232 billion calls in 30 minutes and in that time it´s very likely a whole herd will merge around the fight

fresh laurel
#

it can use alt bite 10 times so thats fine but 8k health...

primal dove
fresh laurel
#

i felt like last update utah was fine

primal dove
#

it was definitely viable

fresh laurel
#

it still could die easy but could be scary

#

now utah is like the isle impossible game mode lol

primal dove
#

might have need a really really really small buff like buff the pounce or the biteforce to 150N and then it would have been absolutely fine

fresh laurel
#

150 bite again

#

doesnt seem bad ngl

#

wonder why not make utah a glass cannon

primal dove
#

yea i first thought about giving it 200N like in legacy but that´s maybe to much 150N would have been sick

fresh laurel
#

it had 150 at release of evrima

runic cliff
#

The problem is that people want to kill a dino as fast as possible and thats just not possible anymore. This sadly brings another problem because people log will have time to log into their alt accounts. Happened to me; once the last utah died I got chased by stegos and I was very low on stam! Only got away because the server crashed😩

fresh laurel
#

and teno vs utah at the time was fun

primal dove
#

it had way faster acceleration and speed i just remembered

fresh laurel
#

yup

primal dove
#

but that was kinda too broken

golden coral
#

Broke the game performance ^^

fresh laurel
#

i think 150 could stay

golden coral
#

Teleportahs was a real thing :p

fresh laurel
#

cus now utah has carno and deino

primal dove
#

maybe they should´ve left the acceleration untouched but just nerfed the speed

fresh laurel
#

nah accel was too good

#

something smaller like velo could get that accel though

primal dove
#

would be great just being able to kite and bait carnos

runic cliff
#

Didnt the devs give utah more bleed with pounce now? Have not been able to test it after the last hotfix

fresh laurel
#

pounce does no damage but ok bleed now

#

which kinda doesnt make sense at least the bleed does cus if something big as utah is ripping into your flesh then that has to make you become wary at least a tad

runic cliff
#

Gonna be interesting when Pachy comes in..

fresh laurel
#

lol

#

one hit from pachy and utah cant escape for once

golden coral
fresh laurel
#

wait doesnt utah have 600 hp now?

dusky surge
#

@alpine plover, i'd fix his bleed, not increase his biteforce

frosty heron
#

For what I've seen the bleed remains around the same as prepatch so I'm not sure what they have done with it

dusky surge
#

his bleed is just too low

runic cliff
#

Guess we have to wait and see how it plays out. Maybe Pachy will be number one prey item for Utah and Teno for Carno. Steg for Allo IF he comes to Evrima soon witch I think will not happen. Maybe Don wants to give that spot to Alberto..?

frosty heron
#

Because most blood pools are nerfed

frosty heron
fresh laurel
#

so 450 seems just wow

frosty heron
alpine plover
fresh laurel
#

also if devs are nerfing utah to become more pack reliant why not wait for velo or compy for that reliability of packs

dusky surge
#

small game hunter but with less speed, damage, health and actual efficiency in hunting small game

frosty heron
fresh laurel
#

these nerfs turned apexes back into legacy apexes

#

you know when it took 10 years to kill them as something smaller

alpine plover
#

Majority of the balance feedbacks are just entitled children who's mad because they can't solo Stegos anymore. It's beyond sad 😂

golden coral
#

That's not the issue with legacy, anyway

fresh laurel
golden coral
#

No

#

You're entirely wrong there

alpine plover
#

Sonic, you are wrong as hell.

golden coral
#

Are there balance issues in legacy, sure. Look at cerato, pachy, para.

fresh laurel
#

ayo my opinion not counting the bugs

golden coral
#

But it's not the apex matchups that are an issue. There are other issues with the apexes there, plus the whole lack of a proper gameplay loop and all.

dusky surge
#

honestly at this point im just waiting on Troodon because utah is losing a lot of charm for me

fresh laurel
#

utah is skin for compy that makes you bigger B)

dusky surge
golden coral
#

Anyway, thinking that it's bad that small things require massive amount of bites to kill a large thing is just... It's a survival game. Stop thinking that you need to kill everything. Even if you can only kill one thing in the entire game, that's fine as long as that's all you need to remain alive and to do everything else in the game (not that we have that yet but we're getting there sometime I hope).

#

Just.. if you're not here for the enjoyment of staying alive and just being, you're.. not cut out for a survival game. You don't want a survival game, you want an action game with "survival" tacked on.

dusky surge
#

i understand that, but utah feels like it cant kill ANYTHING, and anything it CAN kill, a carno can kill better

alpine plover
#

But Erik, A solo Utah now can't kill a Stego.. it's unplayable 🤓 TI_Troll

golden coral
#

Which is perfectly fine to want, just, it's not survival any longer then.

fresh laurel
#

so the point of these nerfs were to make utah join more packs but didnt the devs think that the nerfs would make less people play utah causing less packs causing more solo utahs

golden coral
dusky surge
#

im fine with utah not being a killing machine, but being invalidated by his bigger, badder and better alternative is just sad

frosty heron
golden coral
fresh laurel
#

took me 8 utahs to kill a carno but only 3 survied

golden coral
#

Carnos good at hunting smaller stuff, but can't touch the large ones. Utah the reverse, more or less, barring of course making sure a solo utah can survive on it's own.

alpine plover
#

Stego shouldn't be a fucking everyday's food for Utah lmao. What are you on about? It's killable but it's hard, as it should be.

dusky surge
#

I feel like utah hasn't found his niche

fresh laurel
#

everything rn is stegos bitch

fresh laurel
alpine plover
fresh laurel
frosty heron
golden coral
#

@dusky surgeProblem is that people are complaining that they can't hunt everything good enough. See the feedback on carno vs stego headshot. They think 15 headshots is too much, but a carno should not even hunt a stego, much less solo. Get 3 carnos, and those 15 headshots are not as much of an issue.

#

It's fine that carno can not touch a stego, as long as utah packs in return can.

#

That way if you feel the desire to kill stegos, you play utah. If you feel the desire to kill utahs/pachy (later of course), and others around that size, you play carno.

dusky surge
#

I'm probably going to end up being more of a troodon/pachy main once they rock up. Utah has no unique flair for me anymore, feels like a weak carno, acts like a weak carno, basically is a weak carno. Maybe I'll think about utah more when humans are out and it finds its niche as a human slayer

fresh laurel
#

no

#

not even weak carno

#

its like a buffed velo

#

but human slayer is kinda useless when you think about other things utah sized that could probably enter the humans hideouts

golden coral
# dusky surge I'm probably going to end up being more of a troodon/pachy main once they rock u...

Maybe the utah just needs some extra help on the pounce dismount (since that's still an issue) and another touchup on bleed. But it also depends on how long hunts are supposed to take and how they're supposed to be conducted. I've yet to see any matchup with utahs vs a carno so I don't know how they try to play it out. But before this patch, me and another utah put up a good fight vs a solo carno, despite it being near trees and thus dangerous to pounce.

fresh laurel
#

got a carno to half hp alone before

golden coral
#

But people have this idea that hunting should be relatively quick, when it should be a good few minutes of getting into position, another few of waiting for the right moment to strike, and then a good few minutes for the actual "fight". And so on.

dusky surge
#

I used to enjoy utah, not because it stomped people but because it felt unique in the fact it could basically out-endure and bleed most opponents. Now utah's pounce reduces its stam to zero in a matter of seconds, its bleed is slower than prior and its health makes a single fuckup punishable by death against most dinos.

dusky surge
golden coral
dusky surge
#

I have no idea how the bleed even works in EVRIMA

#

does more pounce = faster bleed?

golden coral
#

Because that's part of the balancing too, how many pounces it should take before the bleed is approaching problematic values for the target.

#

I don't know any more on that one. I would imagine that every pounce both obviously keeps the bleed going and adds another wound to the bleed stack.

dusky surge
#

blood loss should negatively impact your dino more, but it doesn't feel like it does anything at all

fresh laurel
#

kinda wish the devs put these changes in qa branch to see if players would like these huge nerfs

dusky surge
#

a 100% blood steg is just as good as a 10% steg, except one bleeds worse

#

blood just feels like a slower, more boring healthbar

golden coral
golden coral
primal dove
#

Utah players who think they can solo shit should start playing apexes or stuff like carno/allo/alberto etc.

golden coral
#

I don't think it's an entirely good argument to just refer to assriding and some sort of PTSD. It's more so that there's disagreements in how difficult it should be to do something.

#

So far I've seen very few, even fewer stego mains, that doesn't want utah to hunt stego at all. We just disagree on how difficult it should be, how much time it should take, and how it should be done, and so on.

primal dove
#

was mainly a joke

#

also the argument " You are just bad" is the worst thing to say if u want to balance things. I could also just say stego players are just bad and get baited everytime.

proper zephyr
#

stego should be prey for a large utah pack of like 6 (at the absolute least) to 8 or more members, with each utah having to have a good idea of what they're doing in order to have a shot at killing the stego
they shouldn't just be able to curb stomp the stego at all, but also should at least have a chance of actually killing one

golden coral
#

That and the "How many hours have you played" :p

primal dove
#

and the other one too ofc

golden coral
#

Why I want a balance vision and team so badly. It should be less arguing over good/bad and such if we had a clear idea of "this is how it should work".

dusky surge
#

i personally LIKE this update, just feel utah needs something else to compensate for basically making it one of, if not the, weakest dinos

golden coral
#

@primal doveOh btw, you sure on those day/night times?

#

Because that sounds.. well, reverse of how it should be.

golden coral
#

Oh :p Maybe someone should time it, just to see.

true sonnet
#

Is utah realy that weak i thought it needed nerfs but have not played since the new patch so dont know how strong it is now just catching up

dusky surge
#

i do not think carno of all things is the one needing buffs

true ginkgo
#

I think there is a fundamental difference in what people think the gap between large and small dinos should be.

#

Which is why it’s so hard to find a consensus

chrome marsh
#

ryk my beloved

primal dove
dusky surge
#

utah didnt need how beefy and how much damage it did

lament sundial
#

i think there's just too many people clamping to the ideas of how to play an animal instead of adapting, this isn't always true but just becuase something worked when you started or before a patch happend, doesn't mean it'll still work. does this mean devs don't make mistakes? no but i feel like too many people are clinging on to what they know

#

try something new

proper zephyr

^ truth

primal dove
#

what would you say was the playstyle of the utah before the current update? (personal opinion: pack hunter/ dmg dealer and 1 shot potential)

also what do u think of this bleed system? Wanted to post it in #balance-feedback but I still have a cooldown.

Idea for the new bleed since it´s nowhere near the one described in the roadmap: You can stack bleed with attacks/special abilities for example 1 Carno bite fills ur blood drop for lets say 5%. The stages of bleed are the following: Blood drop filled to 50%, you slowly really slowly start losing stamina. Blood drop filled to 75% ,your speed decreases slightly and you start taking damage (2 times slower than starving/dehydrating).Blood drop filled to 100%, you collapse and stay unconcious for a decent amount of time (5 minutes maximum).

If you have reached a certain threshhold of your hp you also might die because of the bleed damage.

The lower your stamina is the faster you lose blood since your heart has to pump more oxygen through your blood to keep your organs and limbs healthy and functioning.

id call it a pack hunter that can rush down smaller prey like dryo or hypsi, but relies on out-enduring large prey like stego with bleed, though that's kinda iffy since bleed currently is kinda meh imo

#

i wouldn't say it's a damage dealer with big prey

does the writing cooldown disappear if I delete one of my messages in #balance-feedback

Aight to be blunt with utah, you've blown the nerfs way out of proportion.

It still gets three shot by carno bite

  • two shot by alt(speeds is too high)
    It still gets three shot by tenonto claws
  • was four
    It gets two shot by teno tail(one on head)
  • this is debatable, last update you were dead anyways because knockdown generally.
    It still gets one shot by stego(nothing changed)
    It gets one shot by deino(why are you messing with this thing)

Its pounce deals very little damage but quite a lot of bleed to compensate. However it can't just nuke an animals BP with 2-3 of pounces like before, it actually needs to be patient and bide time.

If you test properly and practice you'll find that it really isn't all that bad, but you are heavily punished for the slightest mistake.(which is mostly due the bottom segment about agility)

However, it's agility was a large and unnecessary hit for what it lost, that is a big issue as the animal can't properly dodge out of situations like it should.

The animal was made to favor long drawn out hunts, don't think anyone here dislikes that

#

However certain atritubutes do not favor or support this

#

(Hunger times mainly)

proper zephyr
#

longer hunts are usually enjoyable and cool

wintry mountain
#

In the time I've played and tested

#

I have seen more utahs simply trying to bite me to death

#

And rushing in, then actually being patient

#

I won't say that's every utah, but there is a strong adjustment period needed to really get a hold of these changes

primal dove
proper zephyr
#

yeah true

wintry mountain
#

Because overall, your ability to kill as fast is whats been taken

#

However, with the loss in agility, you're now struggling to fill the get in get out fighting style

dusky surge
#

I also wish bleed was more effective as utah

wintry mountain
#

It is over longer hunts, just most hunts don't last long enough to allow that

bleeding should be utah's thing. I kinda wish blood loss had more than just stam and health regen penalties, something that makes constant bleeding more problematic and slowly shifts the fight in the favour of utah

golden coral
wintry mountain
#

That I can agree with

#

If bleed had more obvious effects as it gets worse

proper zephyr
#

yeah the stam and health regen stuff is fine, but imo bleed is kinda underwhelming
like said, it should be utah's primary way of bringing down large meals

primal dove
#

read my idea above

wintry mountain
#

Then the actual output would acceptable to more

primal dove
#

about the bleed

frosty heron
#

Because fr Utah is absolute garbage now and I'm getting a "Git gud" as an answer

dusky surge
#

heavy blood loss could cause minor slowing to movement, temporary loss of vision, a stam drain from simply walking/standing at REALLY low blood and so on. Realistic penalties for HEAVY blood loss (not utah bit me once, there goes my vision)

#

you'd need to be at least below 50% blood in order to get any of these effects imo

golden coral
#

@proper zephyrI had the idea that bleed would be in stages. First stage = halve regen of health and stamina. Second stage, all your stamina usage is doubled, for attacking and running. Third stage, you take double damage from attacks. In return, it would be harder and harder to bleed out. Let's say it takes 5 bites to empty from full to first stage, then 10 for the next, and 20 for the last. So at some point during the battle you shift from bleeding and weakening, to killing. Though then utah would have to be a bit changed again, with bite vs pounce.

proper zephyr
#

i enjoy this idea

make bleed a major factor in combat, not just kinda "oh im bleeding, that's kinda bad but ill just fix it later"

# proper zephyr i enjoy this idea

Basically. Utahs bite would do massive bleed but little damage. Pounce would go to the old "shred in seconds" (not that bad but still), damage but minimal bleed. So you'd harass the target, and bleed it with bites, to at least around second level, then start pouncing, and thus forcing it to buck or die, which would now cost a lot of stamina. If you pounce before the prey is "worn out", it'll just buck you off and you die, but if you weaken it first, then you'd be able to keep those pounces to do the damage.

#

ehhh, dont like that, bleeding out is a cool mechanic to me, utahs are meant to bleed shit to death, not damage it to death.

golden coral
#

You could still bleed someone out, but it's more so that at some point the prey is weak enough to start properly attacking.

I think bleed should be killing, it should most definitely be lethal. I completely disagree with making it just a support tool.

dusky surge
#

Seems lame that there'll be a point in the fight where the prey has no blood and no stam and just stands there as utahs spam their pathetic bites till dead

I disagree with that mechanic being cool actually, stamina drain seems like an absolutely toxic mechanic. I just mentioned it because it is present in a similar-ish game.

primal dove
#

remember it wont be like in legacy where you just get some bites in and bleed out ur target, stamina drain should be really really slow and give teno ,for example which heavily relies on stamina, a time window to fight its foes and if it doesn´t use that time window well, then it´s doomed.

#

We don't need to white knight for dondi

hollow canyon
#

I mean... that mechanic isn't confirmed for Evrima anyways

tacit oriole
#

I think it would be neat if pounce followed a more exponential damage/bleed output

#

so at first it's a bit slow, but the longer you hold one the faster it deals damage/bleed

hollow canyon
#

I've suggested that during update 2 that the longer you'd be pouncing for the more damage you'd be applying

tacit oriole
#

Well dangit if it doesn't need to be suggested again

hollow canyon
#

which was an issue because Utahs at the time were using the approach of just pouncing and disengaging

#

to nuke with that initial damage tick

tacit oriole
#

Like it makes sense right - you are digging your way through the outer fatty layers into the sensitive bits

#

I wonder what The Isle would be with a mechwarrior style zone damage

#

leg damage is just leg damage (plus bleed), your actual HP is only vitals

proper zephyr
#

@brittle basin ptera's got an alt bite

#

it's omni-directional like utah's

dim radish
#

Wait a second, I have heard a lot about Utah being nerfed is bad but I haven't played it just yet.
What was that “buff it's bite force to 80“ stuff? Is it currently that low?

raw sparrow
#

dont buff its bite force, buff its pounce bleed

winged sierra
dim radish
#

That's... humorously bad.
So Dryo is quite literally a Utah just without the pounce and bleed right now, speed, agility and damage wise

golden coral
#

I don't think it's anywhere near that bad no

#

You're exaggerating quite a bit :p

dim radish
#

That could very well be

winged sierra
#

when you simplify something that much it's easy to make anything seem like anything else

hollow canyon
#

@dim radishCarno's bite is nerfed down to 200N, Utah's down to 55N

true ginkgo
#

I think the agility nerf for smalls is part of the issue. The running turn radius and inertia of hispy, dryo, and utah is way too high

stark knoll
#

dryos bite and health were also nerfed

hollow canyon
#

HP of everything got adjusted to match the weights

stark knoll
hollow canyon
#

Oh yea, Dryo was also nerfed, Health-wise, Bite-wise and speed-wise

#

As for bleed - Utah doesn't need a buff to its pounce's bleed. It's perfectly fine there, the issue might be the stutter-step and the agility(caused by the high inertia while running at max speed).

#

I'd personally also buff its health and biteforce a tad bit(HP up to 500 and biteforce up to ~75N).

#

The main reason for that is that it kind of takes a bit too long to kill even small things with bites(talking mainly about small mid tiers like Tenonto and Carno). Yea you can bleed them out but its rather comical just how little damage the bite does.

#

I also wouldn't touch alt-bites damage it's perfectly fine where it is(imo).

true ginkgo
#

I think utahs health is fine personally. Though I feel it’s damage is too low and also the turn radius and inertia nerfs we’re unneeded. The agility (not speed) nerfs on the smalls shouldn’t have happened.

hollow canyon
#

It shouldn't be dying to a onetap from Tenonto's tailslam, even on a headshot - the Tenonto should have to attack it one more time to finish it off.

true ginkgo
#

The isle utah model definitely isn’t 500kg. And having such a small model makes it harder to hit.

winged sierra
#

i agree with the tail slam thing

#

even if it's still a slam and a bite to kill, it shouldn't be a one hit

hollow canyon
#

Yeh

true ginkgo
#

Upping the model size towards larger speculative utahs could give an excuse for more health

#

When the isle utah has its head held in a proper theropod position it’s clear it’s too small for 500kg

hollow canyon
#

The only issue with making its health 500 would be that it stops dying to a bodybite from Deino

#

At least I think

true ginkgo
#

How much damage does the tail slam do again?

hollow canyon
#

360 to my knowledge

#

might be 400 or 300

#

I've seen different accounts

wintry mountain
#

You could arguably reduce tenos tail slam instead given its mirror match also saw reduced health shrug

hollow canyon
#

I'd go with that preferably

wintry mountain
#

atm its still a two shot on anything other than a utahs head

hollow canyon
#

Yea

#

I think Tenonto's damage output might be a bit too high for the current stats in the game

#

although some people were complaining about it so I'm not sure - I haven't played it much yet

#

I only know that it runs for roughly 90 seconds and has 16 kicks now(15 but by the time you use them all you have enough stam for one more kick)

wintry mountain
#

Tenonto still feels relatively the same overall, as does carno minus its deino alt bite part 2 syndrome

hollow canyon
#

Carno felt ok to me but I didn't get to play it enough to form an opinion, was busy messing around as a Utah so far

wintry mountain
#

But, I honestly have no issue with the idea of going back to how tenonto was initially showed via concept, in which its tail slam is a cc attack first, damage second

hollow canyon
#

Yea, that's how i see it

wintry mountain
#

People have brought up its match up with carno being skewed if you do that but

hollow canyon
#

For the amount of firepower the animal has I think the damage and CC should be spread over different skills rather than have one skill that does it all

wintry mountain
#

If your constantly stunning the thing then what changes?

true ginkgo
#

Yeah lowering the tail slam damage makes more sense imo.

wintry mountain
#

Just cant kill it as fast

#

Tenonto aside, scrolling back up to the utah said stuff

#

the issue isnt just limited to utah, people are calling for a buff without looking at other areas of issue

#

Carnos alt bite speed being one of them

#

Utahs intertia, something completely unrelated to damage/bleed

#

Which has seen very little brought up

true ginkgo
#

Hispys and dryos inertia too.

wintry mountain
#

Aye

true ginkgo
#

Turning at all while running just grinds you to a halt.

#

Which will be punishing utah way too much when trying to avoid attacks
