survival-test

[random cloak]

but got bored and spawned in anyways

[quartz kestrel]

There's a wait timer of 2 minutes lol, I was sitting pressing load in world but kept getting the "your character is in another world try again in ×" message

[random cloak]

ive somehow not gotten that glitch yet today

[quartz kestrel]

I legit got in just a few seconds before you lol

Ahh lil it's pretty annoying getting told your character is in another server when that server just got shut down 🤣 but it's only 2 minutes so ehh

[random cloak]

ugh yeah when it happens it always feels like the longest 2 minutes ever

[tribal ridge]

the beast still lives

[quartz kestrel]

Now I'm stressing a bb iggy lmao

Grizzly looking eo lol

[tribal ridge]

rip meg - eo

idk what u were thinking lol

[oak cloak]

Woaaah that's a blast from the past

What year is it again?

[tribal ridge]

other meg gave up after he got meatballed lol

should know bettter taking on big game

[quartz kestrel]

Might've just created a duck that'll grow up with a villains origin story

Failed to kill them lmao

[quartz kestrel]

Love hearing Meg death screams

[bitter basin]

Wow on permadeath server in HT 3 stegos, 2 hatzes and a sarco chasing my 1 metri. Bruh

I don’t understand why the discord groups can’t stick to normal official servers. They gotta come to solo servers for what?

[tribal ridge]

simply because they are losers

[quartz kestrel]

Put it on my resume: Professional Baby Stresser

[ripe gull]

Turns out the ocean nesting items which can be collected for certain quests use the old collect sfx for... some reason. Guessing it's some oversight but yeah, talk about nostalgia.

Just go anywhere that has a branch quest near the ocean and you can pretty much hear it for yourself.

[oak cloak]

Amazing, love it

[tribal ridge]

my victims so far another EO , Rex , 2 megs and that's it 💀

[wispy thunder]

@cursive lion okay sadly i forgot i deleted my sarco on permadeath so this is in normal solo mode but i'm still ready to see if i can kill anyone from here lmao

[tribal ridge]

Don’t get hungry lol

[wispy thunder]

im going to try when the server is more full bc theres only 54 in right now

[boreal lichen]

XD

Ho. I did not expect it was already almost 10 hours in o.o

well. we will see what happens

[neon pollen]

bro how does your game always look so good

[boreal lichen]

Props epic graphics all around.

I unlocked Karvas his skin yay!

Need to still grind rest of the colors later when i have time o.o

[outer grotto]

Been seeing a lot of bertas, is it good for perma?

Also ggs!

[boreal lichen]

berta is very good for perma. Just as long as you know what fights to pick and when to run away.

With Dasp you have to play defensively but if you do, alberta will win.

Allos scare me most.

so far only seen one.

(lucky)

[verbal jetty]

easier to grow on solo ig?

[neon pollen]

alb is nice for solo

[neon pollen]

no way theres a sarc group lmao

nah i respect it

[cursive lion]

Heck yes I'm ready for it! They'll never expect le sarco

[lyric flare]

This 👆🏽

[drifting pecan]

Too bad we cant get replays of said individuals and they cant be banned from the game mode specifically

[lyric flare]

I don’t know about this, you’ll never be able to stop grouping in this game. Example I was on my Stego earlier and ran into another Stego and just started walking together. Couple minutes later we find a 3rd to add to our ranks . Than 20 minutes later a 4th. To a random person if probably looked like we were a discord group when in actuality we were randos who grouped up.

[ancient stream]

We can't group in Permadeath

But we can use local chat (if enabled) to talk, lol

[oak cloak]

Local might be disabled, I've not seen any messages so far

[hybrid stratus]

It is

[tulip vale]

achi who saved a baby rex from a turtle tysm ur the first friendly player i encountered after dying 10 times on my rex ❤️

[hybrid stratus]

Angel

Is it raining on your server rn

[tulip vale]

yes

[hybrid stratus]

We might be in the samr server

[tulip vale]

hahaha prolly

[hybrid stratus]

Whats your user

[tulip vale]

is ur achi like subadult ish?

[hybrid stratus]

Wuh

[tulip vale]

ShadowTheHybrid

[hybrid stratus]

Im a lamb lol

[elder sand]

Might’ve seen you guys in Savanna

[tulip vale]

oh lol

[hybrid stratus]

We are in the same one tho

I looked

Im at gv

[tulip vale]

theres an alberta at my spot :T

i hope he doesnt kill me XD

[hybrid stratus]

Where

[tulip vale]

not in gv

[hybrid stratus]

Great tip

I just died

Im so DONE

[tulip vale]

Rip achi 😦

[hybrid stratus]

im being attacked by a adult alio and FIVE CRITTERS

[tulip vale]

you fought well

[hybrid stratus]

IM A LAMB

[tulip vale]

yeah ik how that feels

[hybrid stratus]

Like i cant

Im being attacked by a platy a acorpion a tortise and alioramus

And im only a adolecent

I COULD have won if it wasnt for these trash critters

Which is another reason why permadeath sucks imo

Its fun until everything in the game is completely againdt you

And its the fact that critters will not change aggro at all

[tulip vale]

yep i feel ya

[hasty willow]

That's unfortunate, I'm really sorry that happened to you.

I've been chased down by like a mob of critters before and it really sucks

[hybrid stratus]

Idek why i play pot ngl im always getting pissed off and lose hours of my lifespan only just to die and have not been able to do anything fun in that dinos life because i had to quest and get growth

They need to make critters less aggresive in solos if its gonna work

[hasty willow]

Yeah, I don't think they needed that buff they got tbh

They were fine as they were before

[hybrid stratus]

The whole point is equal grounds across players (mostly)

[hybrid stratus]

Exactly

And its not like i can fight them because a damn platyistrix 1/8th my size does half my health

[hasty willow]

Yeah, it's really annoying

I've died to critters so mamy times 😅

[hybrid stratus]

I WOULD regrow something if i had friends online who i could play permadeath with too but nope i aint regrowing for another 2 hours in dead silence

[hybrid stratus]

They need to be nerfed

And the aggro range needs to be smaller

I swear these tortises be whole homing missles of tankyness

[hasty willow]

Yeah, they aggro from really far. Unless you're behind them.

Turtles are so fast in this mode

It's crazy

[hybrid stratus]

I literally went behind a dynamo and killwd it without it being aggro

[hasty willow]

Well, it is Thanksgiving, maybe there will be less people on later today and you could try to regrow?

[hybrid stratus]

With who

[hasty willow]

I mean, if the server is dead you would probably be fine solo.

[hybrid stratus]

i only play permadeath because its unique not really for the solo part

Theres no huge mixpacks

Atleast not commonly

[restive ermine]

If it helps, the aggro duration seems to be lower on perma death. Instead of fighting them, I just run. It really doesn't seem to take as long as usual for them to de-aggro. It could be in my head, but just running helps me avoid critter deaths way more often in this mode. 🙂

[hybrid stratus]

Cant run with no stam venom and an Alio on you

[restive ermine]

Fair. I was more meaning running from just the critters in general. I understand that a player on top of that will cause issues.

[hybrid stratus]

Ik

[restive ermine]

Hope your day goes better. Sometimes taking a break helps, too. I gave PoT up for several months, I was surprised at how much that helped me enjoy it again. It was soooo frustrating.

[cursive lion]

Stego party 🥳

[hasty willow]

Also, if it's more fun for you, the Normal Solo mode is similar to this but has less punishing death penalties and way less aggressive/buffed critters

I play on that one when this one gets frustrating for me

[restive ermine]

I bounce between the two, also. Definitely helps my rage, lol.

[hasty willow]

Same here, it also helps me to escape from Hatz which seem to be my #1 cause of death on this mode 😅

[hybrid stratus]

Is normal solos and perma death got the same growth

[restive ermine]

OMG, yes! Lol. I don't really have "on site" dinos... but Hatz? Yup... for them I make an exception 😆

[restive ermine]

Yes. Both have passive growth. But on normal solo you lose 2 bars of health when you die. It's not that bad to get back to adult, though. It's that way to help stop revenge killing.

[hasty willow]

It should be noted that the passive growth is slower on the normal solo, but since death is not near as punishing it doesn't feel that bad.

[hybrid stratus]

Ah

[restive ermine]

It is slower? Huh, I honestly didn't really notice. Good to know, but I didn't notice a difference.

When I grew my stego it was faster when young, and slowed when I hit sub, but it was still very doable

[hasty willow]

True, it is slower but only by a little bit. It still doesn't take that long to grow and the server doesn't have apexes available which is also a plus!

But yeah, I love the normal solo mode too, it's fun to play when I'm getting upset with Permadeath or when I just want to play more casually.

[hybrid stratus]

Why no apexes?

[boreal lichen]

?

[hybrid stratus]

Not that id even grow them besides bars maybe

[boreal lichen]

Permadeath has all the roster.

[hybrid stratus]

Mhm

[boreal lichen]

The normal solo does not

[hybrid stratus]

Mhm why is that

Very confused

[boreal lichen]

Ask Matt XD I think it was just test to not have all dinos enabled for normal mode to see how people would behave.

[hybrid stratus]

Ah

[cursive lion]

Shoot I got tail smacked by a rex and fell down a hill. Gg. Stego lived 14 hrs 27 minutes 😔

[boreal lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/hat-tip-hats-off-respect-boy-yankees-gif-17680220

[cursive lion]

I deserved it tbh I killed a lot of little rex and a few bigger ones

[hasty willow]

Riiiiip

[hybrid stratus]

Ight

Im gonna kamakazi ppl on thal

[restive ermine]

Haha, yes! Do it 😈😁

[hybrid stratus]

Found a meg

I just died

This game is so buggy i stg

I barely flew into this meg and i got insta killed

Bro the game thought i was flying at mach 13 tf

[restive ermine]

I could never master collision while flying. I know much of that is a definite skill issue on my part, I don't know how others do it.

[hybrid stratus]

Me either

[restive ermine]

Kamikaze I can do, lol. But that just takes aiming 😆

[hybrid stratus]

Does skydiver reduce collision

[latent anchor]

no

[hybrid stratus]

Does it reduce how much damage i take if i divebomb the ground

I might grow my thal on solos

Non perma death

[hasty willow]

Is anyone else taking like...a weirdly long amount of time queuing for the server?

[bright basin]

Yeeep

[fallen rose]

I have got to get out of the mind set of “let’s see what happens”

[hasty willow]

Well, what happened?

[fallen rose]

I died

[hasty willow]

Well...now you know. 😅

I'm sorry that happened though. What killed you?

[fallen rose]

Server that I was on was somewhat friendly so a conc made me think he was chill by offering gifts

[hasty willow]

Riiip

That's kinda low to pretend to be friendly then attack like that

[restive ermine]

That's rough. That's one thing I still can't bring myself to do. I know officials are "don't trust anyone" but I can't feign kindness just go kill someone.

[hasty willow]

It says so much about the player when they do that. It's such a low thing to do, to feign kindness then turn on someone. When I attack someone, I don't pretend to be nice first.

[fallen rose]

Honestly I ain’t even mad it’s was a good tactic, I’ll take that over half the lobby being in murder packs

[restive ermine]

Fair. I can't say it isn't effective, it's just not how I want to play. But, true... I'll take that over the mega packs wiping POI by POI.

[hasty willow]

You're better than me then because I get mad at people that do that. It's low. The reason I have trust issues, honestly. I always keep my distance from people, even when they seem friendly.

But yeah, I would prefer that over megapacks.

[restive ermine]

Anyone else able to get into perma death? I'm on 5+ minutes trying 🫠

[scarlet halo]

Me too 😩

[hasty willow]

I gave up when mine hit 8mins 😅

[restive ermine]

Gotcha. I may try reg solo in a few, and see if that works better.

[hasty willow]

Yeah, it seems to be having a slight connection issue right now.

[scarlet halo]

My stego hit the 20h alive 🥲

[hasty willow]

Is your stego still alive?

[restive ermine]

This might me a sign to go and start adulting for the day... but NO! They can't make me.... 😁

[restive ermine]

Well done!

[scarlet halo]

Yes but I want so continue 😅

[scarlet halo]

Thx 🙏

[craggy comet]

The servers keep on kicking me out saying connection lost

[fallen rose]

Same here

[restive ermine]

I even restarted my game, still can't get in.

[craggy comet]

I’ve restarted everything and it’s still not working

[scarlet halo]

I think they patch something or (that’s what I don’t hope) they have ended the test

[restive ermine]

Gotcha. Welp.... gotta be on Alderon's side then. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

[lethal ledge]

I just can't join one at all. So yeah probably something is happening

[craggy comet]

Prob

[restive ermine]

Gonna test reg official, see if that's the same, too.

[scarlet halo]

Solo matchmaking is out too

[lethal ledge]

Normal officials work for me

[scarlet halo]

On official is no problem you can join easily

[robust minnow]

Sitting in queue for over six minutes c'mon I just wanna be a ancient proto-turkey before I go eat real turkey

[restive ermine]

Nice. I'm at 2 min trying to join. So hopefully?

[hybrid stratus]

I got in

Took me 8 mins

[restive ermine]

Which mode, Sly?

[lethal ledge]

Maybe a patch is rolling out

[hybrid stratus]

Norm solos

[hybrid stratus]

Please pachy tlc

[restive ermine]

Okay, thank you.

[hybrid stratus]

Or thal

[fallen rose]

It’s a admin

[restive ermine]

👀

[hybrid stratus]

Whuh

[scarlet halo]

Where?

[fallen rose]

Nvm he left

[hybrid stratus]

[restive ermine]

Matt is in reg PoT chat, looks like he's trying to look into it.

[hybrid stratus]

Ah

[hasty willow]

I hope the patch is Microraptor

I wanna play it so bad

[nova saffron]

There seems to be some connections problems also on the normal servers, what regions are you connecting from / platform?

[scarlet halo]

Is there footage to this dino already leaked?

[hasty willow]

I am on ps5 and I have rhe region on Auto, but I'm in NA

[scarlet halo]

Me from Europe

[native nacelle]

Oceania here

[hybrid stratus]

Im from the america 🇺🇸

[craggy comet]

On a Xbox s in region on auto

[robust minnow]

United States, PC

[hasty willow]

I'm not sure honestly, but Microraptor is my favorite dinosaur and I really wanna play it

[restive ermine]

I'm on PC in North American region

[craggy comet]

But live in United States

[hybrid stratus]

How i feel waiting for micro teaser

[restive ermine]

Woooo! Got in right away!

[nova saffron]

thank you all

[scarlet halo]

Me too. Hope it’s gonna come soon

[restive ermine]

42 players on my server, so looks like it's letting people in now?

[craggy comet]

What server

[restive ermine]

I just hopped onto perma death, and got right in this time.

[scarlet halo]

Yes me too
See you out there fellas 🥰

[bright basin]

Xbox and from Europe

[restive ermine]

May you live long! (And don't kill me, lol).

[scarlet halo]

Im a nice stego
If you don’t hit me, I go my way 😉

[hybrid stratus]

[restive ermine]

I am running allo right now. I don't look for trouble often. Lol

[scarlet halo]

😆 I adopt baby’s of any kind so if you need help. Ingame I have the same tag

[restive ermine]

No worries! Right now I'm just grinding to get a blue skin on my girl. Lol.

[scarlet halo]

Uh nice good luck with this

[craggy comet]

Was in then just got kicked back out

[scarlet halo]

Oh no

[restive ermine]

Chances are things will be unstable for abit while they work in things.

[scarlet halo]

Can you come back in?

[craggy comet]

It let me back in will let me play for a minute then it will kick me back out like it just did after I got back in 🫠

[restive ermine]

If Matt is still in the main chat, you might try mentioning this problem there. He may not see it here. 💜

[scarlet halo]

On what platform are you again?

[craggy comet]

Where can I find the main chat

[restive ermine]

The Path of Titans channel

I'm gonna pay attention to my game now, but best of luck to all! 💜

[elder sand]

Babies corpses need to deteriorate slower on permanent death

[pallid forge]

And they should give more food in this mode at least

[elder sand]

Exactly more than a critter at least

[heady trench]

What is solo perma death, something the devs are testing?

[visual quartz]

Yeah, if the Dino you’re on dies it’s dead for good. Gotta delete it and make a new one

[wheat cargo]

Wow, struthis can be annoying in this mode

[fathom drift]

Struthis are always annoying

[steep saddle]

if u hungry just kill a critter then problem solved

I'm pretty sure baby corpses give less food and rot so fast because it's discouraging killing them while not taking away the purpose of it being a survival game

[wheat cargo]

Nah, juvis should give less food the bigger you are, not despawn almost immediately after dying. Then other juvies and small dinos such as deino will be able to feed themselves, but big guys won't be able to.

[steep saddle]

I don't disagree w that, it makes sense, but it should be leaned into more, like both combat weight and growth stage should probably affect how much food a dino gives

[wheat cargo]

Yeah, exactly. As a juvie alberta I was hunted down by a deinon. For how long it took it to finally get me it should be able to get a meal of out it.

[steep saddle]

thinking about an adol trike too bc while not as strong as an adult trike, considering it's dangerous enough to kill sub allos it should probably last a little longer too

[dire skiff]

any chance of a rex tlc? they are free food on permadeath

[karmic wolf]

it'll get one eventually

all dinosaurs will get theirs soon

but the next major update is next year

[dire skiff]

Hope so, I'm starting to feel bad for all the rexes I kill, I don't think that they are bad players either, I just think they are playing a creature that needs some kind of overhaul. Every rex fight I've been in boils down to Rex puts his butt in a corner, against the water or near a rock wall. It would be nice if rex had more options in its kit besides this, I don't think Rex is viable in this mode currently, it's just too vulnerable when it comes to defending itself. I say this as someone who consistently kills rexes with 2 and 3 star creatures

I think the permanent death mode is a great addition to the game and I hope they expand upon it 🙂

[buoyant cloak]

Draw out Rex TLC as long as possible so I can eat more of them 🗣️

[tulip vale]

wait what rex tlc wdym?

[buoyant cloak]

All dinos will get a tlc

Rex hasn’t been announced

[tulip vale]

yeah but rex will take a while

[buoyant cloak]

Wonderful

[tulip vale]

anyone got a trophy for my adol rex tho?

[buoyant cloak]

Let me eat them

[tulip vale]

what r u?

[hasty willow]

Hey, are two save slots a bug or something? Because the MOTD says 1 Dino but you can have two saved?

[hasty willow]

We were talking about something like this a while ago and someone suggested that the dino stats could be tweaked on this mode to make non-solo-viable dinos viable, and oppressive dinos less oppressive since some dinos are far better than others in this gamemode, and others are severely lacking.

[steep saddle]

yes it is a bug

[hasty willow]

Okay, that's good to know that it will eventually be patched out then.

[dire skiff]

I dont think everything else needs a nerf, rex should be adjusted to not be a free kill in permadeath solo lol

[hasty willow]

No, that's not what I meant. I meant like stat tweaks. Not just outright nerfs. Maybe different abilities that are only available in solo mode, or ability bans, or slight stat tweaks here and there for dinos that don't do as well on their own.

A lot of dinos now have group oriented abilities, all of which are useless in this gamemode.

So maybe bring back the old solo abilities and add new ones that are only available in this gamemode.

[thick hemlock]

Hopefully they will just add something to prevent abusing multiple dinos (like a timer for switching) instead of limiting us to just one. I quite like having at least two so I can decide what type of pacing im in the mood for

[hasty willow]

I think a timer for switching would work. Like a cooldown or something after dying?

[halcyon moat]

After log out maybe. Don't forget there is still cuddlers/clans who will switch dinos to chase and finish you off

[hasty willow]

That makes sense actually, I forgot about that. Yeah, maybe like a 5-10min cooldown after logging out would work?

[halcyon moat]

So if you want more slots - 15 mins timer after log out. No less

Choose wisely what you want to play

Before logging in

[hasty willow]

That makes sense. Personally, I'm fine with one slot, but I think if more slots were allowed then the 15min timer after logging out would be fair

[halcyon moat]

With how fast dinos grow I'm fine with 1 slot

On just solo I managed to grow stego within 1,5h

I had few encounters so I was forsed to hide and lose some time waiting threat to go

[buoyant cloak]

I mean just run stomp, it takes care of small dinos so the only things that can get you are apexes

[halcyon moat]

Now I think about to try and run a rex in perma. But ngl I succ in apex vs apex because it's somewhat 1 button mashing

[frigid zephyr]

And dasps, maybe pycnos if more than 1

[dire skiff]

@buoyant cloak Laughs in Dasp

[buoyant cloak]

Oh yeah dasp exists

Ig just bite it

[halcyon moat]

Never seen a stomp to kill someone legit
By legit I mean without it be visually bugged for person who die to it (some of my friend experienced that stomp had no animation on their screen)

[bright sundial]

mfw in solo permadeath i have to take on a group of four and still won

[wheat cargo]

Lol there was a mixpacking duck, spino amd hatz in gp and every solo randomly came together to annoy them

[uncut pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-thousand-yard-stare-thousand-yard-stare-cat-ptsd-cat-soldier-cat-war-gif-9110270742088459827

[dire skiff]

Rex philosophy

[karmic wolf]

Don't know what to grow on perma next tbh

[dire skiff]

try struthi

its pretty hilarious

[uncut pagoda]

become a land sarco. flawless strategy.

[karmic wolf]

Death sentence

I do wanna grow a carnie

might just grow a conc tbh

[dire skiff]

if you wanna grow a carni try conc or sucho, both are in a good spot right now

[karmic wolf]

Most def gonna grow a conc and kill every pachy I see

[uncut pagoda]

Conc bleed is no joke

[dire skiff]

yea conc is very deadly, bleed is meta in perma death

it just adds so much more pressure to the fight

[uncut pagoda]

that is very true. the pyschological pressure of just having damage over time is something I didn't think of.

especially high amounts

[dire skiff]

yes, and in perma death, you need to play mind games with people, otherwise they may end up killing you. breaking a person's composure insures the kill.

[buoyant cloak]

Grow a poopgaia 🔥

[split copper]

Welp 😅😅 time to be a tad more cautious

[hasty willow]

I was trying to save a baby bars from a critter but it kept getting stuck on stuff and it died 😭

[crude phoenix]

How is pachy on solo servers @split copper ?

[split copper]

Really good if you stay near favorable environment and know when to fight, when to run, and when to stay out of sight

[shy moss]

I had the worst luck in hoodoo expanse on a baby allo. 2 scorpions and an adult dasp attacked me. I did not last long.

[hasty willow]

These critters be mixpacking istg

Ggs Dasp, if you're in here

My alio lived for almost 3 hours before dying, longest dino to live yet, and this time I didn't die to a Hatz.

[hybrid stratus]

Poor deinon went afk in the middle of gp

My hatz eating good rn

[hasty willow]

It would be awesome if player bodies could be carried or dragged

Like a grown hatz should be able to carry juvie anything, or a full grown deinon

It would be cool

[hybrid stratus]

Me watching my adult hatz take longer to accelerate than a rex or spino (it makes 0 sense)

And its dead

[neon pollen]

being slowly bled out by 2 concs and attacked by a sucho definitely not fun

[hybrid stratus]

Oof

[crude phoenix]

What build do you recommend @split copper ? I may make one when I get back from Thanksgiving break.

[neon pollen]

conc bleed on one attack is absurd

[split copper]

I feel like Pachy’s jump is its most important asset, plus I love the Dracorex look, so I use the Jump subspecies with Leap and Kick. I use Kick over Charge because it has a lower cooldown and more utility usage like downing a flyer and delivering instant knockback instead of needing to gain momentum first

[crude phoenix]

Noted thanks for the info ☝️☝️. Stay safe out there.

[split copper]

No problem! 🙂 and thanks!

[crude phoenix]

Solo servers are tough for a 2 slot. (Why I enjoy it though).

[neon pollen]

play conc, problem solved

[split copper]

I really enjoy the thrill you get out of playing something that is decently survivable, but also easy enough to hunt that almost everything tries to kill you when they see you. With enough practice though you can often turn it around on them. Especially in the right environment like an area with a lot of cliffs and ledges

[neon pollen]

ok play mira then

[split copper]

I’ve been curious about Mira, but golly it has high cooldowns on its main attacks lol plus my Pachy is still alive and well 🙂

[dire skiff]

@split copper Make an Iggy and name it Jake Paul, then everyone is gonna go for you XD

[split copper]

I wish Dino names were visible somehow lol like an option to display Dino name rather than game tag

[tall oracle]

After being alive for days and days, I start getting the itch to die lmao

[crude phoenix]

Yep I basically play meg cuz it’s nimble and being able to go to water is such a great tool for surviving.

[neon pollen]

go to savannah

for death

[warm mesa]

enjoying this play style a lot but I just had some kind of glitch where my character was in game but my visual was still the character selection screen and I got killed 💀

[hasty willow]

Bruh, just got double teamed by a Sucho and a Pycno

Would've had that Pycno too if it didn't run off to it's buddy

[elder sand]

Mira is a great Dino

[bright sundial]

welp

don't land on the spires in volcano bay unless you wanna slide and die

that was a waste of 20 minutes

[molten gull]

[elder sand]

Just saw my first big group of different species

[hushed berry]

Satisfying that he somehow popped while trying to get the trophy he stole from me back

[oak cloak]

Had a heart attack from all the berry burgers

Holy crap I didn't know we had a chat room xD

[barren zephyr]

Thank you!!

Anyone in here who was just playing a dasp with a red dasp in salt flats?

[oak cloak]

My server only has 8 players personally lol

Sorry, 5 players LOL

[hasty willow]

There's a hunkered ano on my server that's just screaming at the top of it's lungs

[barren zephyr]

That should making surviving easy. I was in my second server with the same dasp who raised me from a baby, and we got jumped by a pycno and dasp in the fog lol

[oak cloak]

The whole gang

[kindred mortar]

too bad im off for the night or id join for some safe questing

[barren zephyr]

So if fracture can't cause bone break what can it do if you achieve 100% fracture on something?

And I mean the fracture bite for dasp

[hasty willow]

I'm trying to figure out what this ano wants

[oak cloak]

Certain attacks can proc full bonebreak, but things like Shatter cant. It just lowers speed up to a max value

[hasty willow]

It's literally just screaming

I went to BT and I can still hear it lmao

[barren zephyr]

Oh so it can slow my target?

[oak cloak]

Yes

[barren zephyr]

Fascinating. I'm trying to debate if I wanna maximize my fracture damage or if I wanna go for piercing damage.

[oak cloak]

I recommend piercing if youre running solo, personally

[barren zephyr]

Thank you. Second opinions always help, now time to be reborn xD

[oak cloak]

Nighttime on a dead server

[barren zephyr]

I've decided to give the dasp a break to give my spino some love

[wispy thunder]

Holy flip i almost died from fall damage as laten lmaooo what a feat

[oak cloak]

Me with Featherweight: "I know not this fear of gravity"

[wispy thunder]

Autorun + momentum = half a bone jutting out muh leg

I think i have revitalize or something

[oak cloak]

I use Featherweight instead of Tail Fan, I just never found myself using Tail Fan over Ripping Kick

since I was used to ripping kicking around with Deinon

My server only has 3 players now

[wispy thunder]

Yeah, I’m working on bleedmaxxing so i have mangle, ripping, and I’m trying to get the thing that ups your bleed for less raw damage

I have pounce too but pouncing in general doesn’t feel great to play for me

[hushed berry]

Hunt indo

[oak cloak]

He's a Conca, I dont like my chances LOL

[cursive lion]

Tried laten. It's fun but I got killed by a sarco 😆

[oak cloak]

There were only 3 players in my server. I somehow ran into the player that isnt Indo on a young Duck and killed it

Now its a 2 player server

[cursive lion]

My steg died earlier lmao

[oak cloak]

what from

[cursive lion]

Rex knocked me back down hill

[oak cloak]

Knockback tail, noooo

[cursive lion]

Hahaha 14 hrs 30 min

[oak cloak]

Impressive

[cursive lion]

I just got my whole body scarred too.

I was fighting a little rex with my laten and fell down into a river with a sarco in it

Got a few kills though.

Idk what to grow now 🤔

[quartz kestrel]

I'm so sorry to the spoon I just logged in ontop of healing

[oak cloak]

Grow Alio, eat babies

[oak cloak]

No log-in debuff on these servers LOL

[quartz kestrel]

It really isba questionable choice

[oak cloak]

You could also try Alberta, it beats Dasp in the facetank with Enrage

[cursive lion]

Shoot run headslam it'll probably beat it without

Facetanking I mean

It makes sense not having a log in debuff cause we're supposed to only have one dino

[oak cloak]

Just kinda sucks when you scout out an area, have it on lock, then get killed by teh Eo that logged in right behind you

[cursive lion]

I saw someone doing that earlier

[oak cloak]

Also sucks to get killed by an Eo after logging in with debuff, so pick your poison

[cursive lion]

Hatz flew up on a mountain and logged out then I see a sucho come out the river a few secs later

Pouncing hatz was a lot of fun but I couldn't find one by themselves. Always had a buddy with them 🙄

[oak cloak]

Thats unforunate

I like applying the bleed first if they are willing to play ball with me on the ground at first, since sprint flying increases the bleed timer by 4 times

So they'll take a bunch of a bleed damage when they take off

[karmic wolf]

Hatz are to common on perma

[cursive lion]

Interesting.

If I had more experience with hatz I'd grow one and fight every hatz I see.

[karmic wolf]

you should

I'll probably do it when my conc dies

[oak cloak]

I hope Thal with TLC can contend with Hatz in the air better

[barren zephyr]

You know y'all can create two creatures now so you could always have the Hatz on standby.

[cobalt bramble]

i havent played normal officials in a while, is there just like way more hatz on permadeath or what

[quartz kestrel]

I personally haven't noticed it too too bad

[cobalt bramble]

last time i was on i felt like i saw a hatz or two everywhere i went

mightve been the time of day or bad luck though

[elder sand]

doing good so far

[quartz kestrel]

😬

Really think at least some sort of debuff would be understandable

[karmic wolf]

this is why you run stomp

[quartz kestrel]

100% agree I run full land spoon personally lol. My spino is aquaphobic

[hushed berry]

And here I thought my undead achillo was doing good at 5h

The most painful part is grinding skins

[elder sand]

I just go for realism skins and Komodo is cheap thankfully

[hushed berry]

That's what's nice about Meg

Kinda wanna buy backers achillo just for this

[soft cove]

Achillo’s backer is kinda mid though ngl

[hushed berry]

It's one of my favorite backers

Might aim for this

And probably change subs at some point to health recovery

Acceleration is ugly as balls

[cobalt bramble]

someone plucked it..

[oak cloak]

Looks like it was a shaved for an achillobator show, like how they give hairdos to dogs for dog shows

[cobalt bramble]

help you're right. i was so upset when i saw that sub you stole his wings

[earnest ice]

Wait Permadeath is a thing now?

[oak cloak]

Yes, optional mode in testing

Im having a blast

[earnest ice]

I can sense the PoT hunger games coming

[shy moss]

I think I need to switch from permadeath for the rest of the night. I keep spawning in Ripple Beach and broken tooth canyon and dying to critters swarms. First death was to 2 melons, 2nd was to a big turtle and that other tough herbivore, 3rd snake and platy, 4th 3 scorpions a turtle and another tough herbivore. I never made it past bar 2 on juvenile.

[hushed berry]

Normal solos is more welcoming

[buoyant cloak]

oop wrong chat

[shell shore]

This game mode is already dead. Players prefer official servers and that's understandable. Solo player game modes will be removed.

[stuck tree]

🤨

[shy moss]

I liked the solo modes the servers I wound up in had 90+ players average.

[cobalt bramble]

a little definitive? i havent been in an empty server yet

[shell shore]

We know that they are going to be removed because Matt told us: he was even very clear in telling us "don't get attached to these game modes, they are only there to test things"

He didn't say when though...

I guess that didn't help the players staying too long.

[stuck tree]

the servers we have now are tests, but that doesn't mean they won't be implemented at all with the data they gather later

[cobalt bramble]

i mean, it's testing. these specific servers aren't going to stick around but who knows what they'll do with it later. maybe they will determine it's not enough of the playerbase to make it worth running the servers for (understandable), maybe they'll use the data for something else

you're going to get players dropping off just because the shininess of a new gamemode has worn off regardless

[shell shore]

It's not impossible that they export ideas from these game modes to the official servers. The most likely is the removal of water in IC according to Matt's words.

[drifting pecan]

Has anyone seen a red turtle yet,……

[gilded mica]

To the steggo that just saved my eo from being jumped by a hatz and 2 struthis, thank you so much! You’re a legend! 🫶🏻🥹🙏🏻

[sour cradle]

People still jumping in solo? How ugly

[verbal jetty]

there will always be groupers thats only natural

[sour cradle]

Human nature making its way into the Dino game, disappointing but not surprised

[boreal lichen]

so pretty ;; makes me think about some sort of coffee with milk. or pudding.

[hushed berry]

Coffee fits pretty well

[boreal lichen]

Wait that thing is in already…

[halcyon moat]

Nothing in announcements so I don't think so

[drifting pecan]

Shhhhh,.. idk

Keep it a secret

[dusty mango]

Solo normal gas tons on every time I play it 🤷‍♀️

[halcyon moat]

Personally don't play it rn because of ping issue (I'm EU player when servers are US only)

Don't feel comfortable to play with 80-100 ping

[boreal lichen]

I am also eu player. my ping goes from 80 to 140 at times.

yet somehow i still live.

But there was one bluetooth hatz moment. I was not even near them but they hit my face somehow. lemme show you the picture.

[halcyon moat]

I just had encounter against 2 adol dasps as a juvie achilo and got bitten when I was behind them so... Yeah

Thank for random adol eo who decided to kick their butts

[boreal lichen]

they hit my face somehow here.

[halcyon moat]

Thats what I'm talking about, yeah. Exactly

I just the person who get too frustrated from things like this. I'm fine if I will do a mistake myself but ping draws me crazy in a second

[wise temple]

Wait the hatz got hit in the face?

[boreal lichen]

No.
My alberta was hit to face by the hatz during this moment.

[wise temple]

Oh I was about to say hatz deserve everything that happens to them

[boreal lichen]

Well they did die in the end.

But ye. just some funky ping shenanigans

[outer grotto]

"did you do it?"
"yes."
"what did it cost?"
"everything."

[boreal lichen]

hehheh

unlocked all the colors yay \o/

[hushed berry]

What's the highest so far

[tribal ridge]

Solo mode normal consistently has around 110 players , you are not him bro.!

[neon pollen]

yeah weird thing to say

misinformation

there has to be a few servers of the mode aswell that are full

definitely aint dead

[shell shore]

I didn't say "empty", I said almost dead... They will disappear, that's all. But like the dev said, enjoy them while they're there. This isn't misinformation, it's what the devs said last week on this very chat.

[boreal lichen]

Misinformation part is "they are almost dead".

It is true the mode will go away in time but it is very popular.

[verbal jetty]

id imagine less people would play perma simply because of hatz

[quartz kestrel]

Did the "players" tell you this themselves or? Consistently have good full servers in my experience.

[boreal lichen]

might be the case?

[shell shore]

Bigshmoke, yes on this chat. Maybe only in permadeath mode.

[quartz kestrel]

Crazy you got all the players takes on it. And seemingly skipped over the players in here telling you otherwise. Didn't go along with the groups' opinions I'm guessing? Since thats the only take worth considering?

Like yea I'm sure that the majority of officials want their solo players back so they can have their easy kills instead of dealing with other groups lmao

[shell shore]

Some people are happy with this mode but most players don't care. These are only test servers. It's understandable.

[quartz kestrel]

I think we are aware that the "Solo TEST" servers are tests. Nobody is debating that

[shell shore]

you have many groups in these modes... and mixpacks too.

[quartz kestrel]

Yea I've come across a couple like maybe 2. Would rather that then go play officials to walk around a dead and barren map for 45+ minutes, until I cave an go to a hot spot. Then proceed to get mobbed on Xv1. Like yes I'm sure the groups don't appreciate the solo test servers. Understandable the frustration of having to deal with other groups instead of just mobbing down a single solo player.

But randomly tryna speak for the "players" and say what they prefer is wild lmao

[neon pollen]

can we make equiped group buffs have one stack automatically in solo

[shell shore]

Just accept that these modes are less popular and less populated than the official servers then. I will probably have to point out that I very often play solo (pycno main) on the official ones and I do not do too badly, certainly I avoid hotspots as much as possible. I do not speak for the others players, some said this. (Sorry for my english, not my native by the way). And you do the same thing then.

[quartz kestrel]

Absolutely the majority of the community being group players is going to have that effect. But also acting like consistently having full servers of these modes equals to them being dead isn't something I'd personally think. I have about 2.2k hours and 90% of that is solo officials lol. These solo modes are GOATed because people actually play a dinosaur game like a dinosaur instead of being magically teleported back to their cuddle pile after they died playing their Mean Girls simulator.

[steep saddle]

they were never going to be as popular as the regular officials server, but there's still enough players that prefer this to both community and regular officials due to the immersion and freedom to do whatever

it's a challenge, and some people want a challenge

[pallid forge]

If they remove this mode, I'll just go back playing exclusive on community servers. Can't stand the default growing system and constant mixpacks hunting you down for trophies, because nobody wants to grid exp with the current quests system.

[sour cradle]

Wish there was a meet me in the middle that somehow enforced the 10 group slots officials have

I’ve never heard of a community server that’s just “officials but no nonsense”

[split copper]

These servers did a good job of splitting the community between two different groups. The people here who care about a challenging survival game and play it for fun. And then the other group who are basically frog-brained and want to kill everything they see move and then crap talk it in chat because they have an ego complex that their megapack official discord group helps them fill.

[sour cradle]

Shouldn’t act holier than thou, there’s a lot of people in the middle

[split copper]

Dang, my daily dose of humility has arrived

You right

[sour cradle]

I gotta tell myself it just as much easy to place oneself above discord groups

[pallid forge]

If I had my way, I would call this survival mode and make aditional changes like: Same species limited grouping only and way slower health recovery from wounds with the chance of infections to make people actually thinking about the risk of a brutal confrontation. Or hunger and thirst influencing your stats or your stamina etc.

[split copper]

I believe that currently, having low hunger and/or thirst does cause health to regenerate slower than normal

[tulip vale]

anyone got a trophy for my adol rex?

[oak cloak]

Longest I've seen so far is Screen Lady's Sarco at 20 hours

[tulip vale]

whos the other rex?

[split copper]

Same here, I’m hoping to get my Pachy to a full 24hrs as my first milestone. Currently at 15

[tulip vale]

rex at wilderness shoo

im not big enough to give u food

no food for u rex lmao

safelogged tf outta there hahaha

[oak cloak]

The requirement to safe log to survive is why I don't play apexes lol

[karmic wolf]

Rex is just big and fat and that’s it’s only ability

And bone breaking I guess, but Rex’s don’t live long anyways in perma

[tulip vale]

well sad thing is bb is not working anymore so i go with facetank

[mortal lotus]

what is this

is this a new gamemode

[karmic wolf]

Been here for awhile

[mortal lotus]

x

[karmic wolf]

It’s basically pot but if you die your character dies forever

And you have to make a new one

And impact crater is filled with a bunch of critters

[mortal lotus]

do ppl actually respect the solo aspect?

[karmic wolf]

🤷‍♂️

[tulip vale]

also im already sub haha^^

[pallid forge]

Are there groups and friends playing together? Yes. Is it as bad as on normal officials? No, it's way less and an actual fun experience if you stay away from grand plains. A lot more people travel around the map.

Had a lot of fair 1vs1 fights in this mode

[elder sand]

Id like to see hp regen slowed down in permadeath tho

[pallid forge]

Me too. Getting seriously wounded in a fight should be heavy risk in a survival mode and make people think about their actions.

[tulip vale]

nah for what?

lots more ppl would leave the mode cuz its just not realistic anymore if u heal too slow

[stuck tree]

healing slow isn't a reaslism thing but it'd turn me away cause im not gonna sit there for 30 mins to heal cause i got unfairly jumped

slow healing will just punish everyone, even the people who ARE careful

permadeath is enough

[tulip vale]

yeah no i feel ya

[stuck tree]

mhm, if the heal rate is too slow i might as well just let them kill me so i cna remake the dino

[elder sand]

That would be more realistic? If a trike gouged your side out it would take a little longer than a few minutes to heal lol

Me and another Meg easily cycled a duck. Slowed hp regen that duck would’ve lived

[tulip vale]

im not gonna sit on my spino for an hour waiting to get to half HP no ty

permadeath is enough as a challenge

[elder sand]

Then be more careful and don’t get to half health 😉

Just my opinion would make it more of a survival mode

[tulip vale]

then be more carefull and "choose" ur fights

oh right u CANT choose ur fights cuz ur opponent will attack even if u dont want to

[elder sand]

You’re a spino you can choose your fights very easily

[tulip vale]

so yeah doesnt make sense to be carefull not to get to Half HP in a rex vs spino fight or so

[elder sand]

You can just go to water and not fight the red

[tulip vale]

not if im questing and then a fg sarco pulls up on my adol

[elder sand]

Then you are dead or got away anyways hp regen isn’t gonna matter

[tulip vale]

hmmh

oh whos the dasp that just fought against a turtle? or critter for that matter idk but he fought smth small

with a campto nearby

[cobalt bramble]

slow heal rate is ehhhhh. fine if a community server wants to do that to themselves but waiting to heal isn't fun and death itself is enough of a deterrent

[elder sand]

All I’m saying is 2 megs shouldn’t be able to cycle a duck so easy I’d be pissed if I died like that

I’m ready to try an iggy if my Meg ever dies

Only really a sarc or another Meg can take out a careful Meg

[stuck tree]

slow heal rate being a thing cause its more "realistic" isn't a soudn argument for this game which isn't trying to be a realism sim to begin with

by that logic rex should one shot most of the roster except other 5 slots

but is that FUN? no, not for anyone but the rex, and this is a video game

[tulip vale]

Thisss!!

[tulip vale]

EXACTLY

[tulip vale]

you ate and left no crumbs

so what r u guys on the map atm :3

[cobalt bramble]

the dinosaurs practically have magical abilities and a ramph can survive a one shot bite from an animal that could swallow it whole for no reason realism is not the game here

[tulip vale]

yep deffo

[cobalt bramble]

realism and what's actually fun to play as a human playing a video game are often on opposite ends of the spectrum. real animals don't actually do that much of anything

[tulip vale]

yes agreed

[elder sand]

Ya know realism doesn’t have to mean full realism for everything smh

Two 2 slots shouldnt be able to take an apex in permadeath I’m saying

[elder sand]

Not really realism for me would be a better experience for solo players

[stuck tree]

As a solo player, nah it'd be worse for me to get jumped, escape, then have to spend an hour healing cause "its realistic"

[tulip vale]

and thats why they said its not rlly a realism game, if u want a dinosaur survival game wich is based off of realism theres the isle

[elder sand]

Hmmm to each their own I guess I’d rather be able to fight off a group then auto die to any group

[stuck tree]

how does having a slower heal rate help you fight off a group tho

even if they have a slower heal rate, they have numbers, the injured one will slink off while his buddies kill you

like what normally happens

the only thing is that it takes them longer to get back into action

[elder sand]

Iggy vs 3 pycnos let’s say. Iggy can win that but as soon as one pyc goes and heals it’s over ?

[stuck tree]

they'll do that with a slow rate heal anyway tho

they'll just go further out of sight if they're smart

[elder sand]

Well then you leave

And you live

[stuck tree]

there's still 2 other pycnos in that example

unless you get them ALL low and close to death

[elder sand]

So hurt all 3 enough and you win the fight

[stuck tree]

and even then you're still probably injured too

[elder sand]

That’s how it should be lol

That’s okay then you go heal

[stuck tree]

therefore you win and still are punished with the slower heal rate anyway

that just makes it lame for everyone

[elder sand]

As long as you win lol it’s permadeath haha

Sounds fair to me

[stuck tree]

also not factoring in third parties too, someone could be watching, see everyone slink off, and boom you have more issues because you're alone while the pycnos have numbers to help defend

[tawny shoal]

screw long healing bro

healing is long enough as it is

without mentioning everyone is going to be a lot more hungry in solo mode

[stuck tree]

also the fact that different dinos have different heal rates as well

[tawny shoal]

bc harder to get food off of other players as a carnivore

[stuck tree]

and some have heal regen subs

so it still wouldn't be consistent

[tawny shoal]

so already you're healing way slower

[tulip vale]

RIP pycno that fighted against a meg 😦

[tawny shoal]

there's no reason for heal rates to be lower

they're slow enough

[stuck tree]

if your iggy is going against something with a health regen sub then guess what, they can come back after you faster

[tawny shoal]

iggy :(

[tulip vale]

tried helping but i was scared id bite u 😦

[opaque pecan]

Slow healing is one way to nerf the conc passively

[tawny shoal]

i dont think conc needs any indirect nerfs right now either

[elder sand]

Idk there is solo server and permadeath I see no reason for permadeath to focus more on realism and survival

[tawny shoal]

it can, without having stupid long heal times

[opaque pecan]

The conc doesnt need any touch. Leave it alone

[stuck tree]

we don't know if in the end they will have both a normal and permadeath solo since these are tests

[tawny shoal]

there's a point where realism shouldn't be considered over the factor of fun

slow healing is that point

[stuck tree]

for all we know it'll be one of the two options

not both

slow healing will also probably make metris even more annoying too now that i think about it

[elder sand]

Fun is just opinion that would be more fun for me

[stuck tree]

and that's fine but there are many of us who don't consider that fun

[tawny shoal]

we're going to consider the general public over your opinion

[elder sand]

lol general public being 2-3 people ?

[tulip vale]

who was the pycno that died to a meg? u had 2 more friends with ya?

[tawny shoal]

considering that there are loads of players complaining about the current health regen, it's a lot more than 2-3 people lol

[stuck tree]

just cause we're the 2-3 people responding to you rn doesn't mean there aren't more lmao

[tawny shoal]

lmao playing eo would make players want to gouge their eyes out

with lowered heal times

[stuck tree]

there have been many playables with slow heal regens and guess what, people HATED it

and still do

[elder sand]

Ya and someone else agreed with me so I’m sure there is just as many realism players who want that

Ya but Eo would hit you once and then you can’t just go heal it off loool

[tawny shoal]

cuh that would suck

[stuck tree]

which means eo is even more horrible to see around and will be seen around more often in huge numbers

[tawny shoal]

mfw i can't play the game for 10 minutes because the local eo tapped left click on me once

[elder sand]

Why did you attack the Eo then ?

[stuck tree]

big herbivores and carnivores don't play passively all the time, they COME AFTER you

bro

[elder sand]

Clearly are something to small to attack and Eo

[tawny shoal]

who said the player attacked the eo lol

[stuck tree]

have you seen an eo player

ever?

they come after YOU

[elder sand]

Of course I have over 2000 hours on this game haha

[tawny shoal]

ok dude

[stuck tree]

then you'd know that even being seen by an eo makes you a target

[elder sand]

EOS don’t come after me on permadeath server they are just vibing

[stuck tree]

thats you

[tawny shoal]

yeah, i have 2k hours 😼

[stuck tree]

you being lucky enough to encounter chill eos doesn't mean they're chill by default

they are not

[tulip vale]

thx for warning me not to go up the mountain small pachy^^

[stuck tree]

and if the are, not for long

[elder sand]

Then run away lol it’s an Eo ?

why go near an Eo if you aren’t attacking it tho?

[tawny shoal]

An eo can still hit you for a massive portion of health before you’re gone

Esp in places that isn’t gp

[stuck tree]

it comes near you

[tulip vale]

if u got 20000 you should know that outrunning an eo isnt easy as a sub apex or apex

[stuck tree]

your solution is "don't play anything that is slower in speed"

[tulip vale]

even as a midtier its not that easy

[stuck tree]

so only play 1-3 slots

[tawny shoal]

Oh that isn’t even mentioning it having to take like

[stuck tree]

that isnt' a solution

[tawny shoal]

Actual hours

To heal apexes

Fun fact, it used to take iggy 3 hours to heal from 1 to full health back in the day

The public did not enjoy that

[stuck tree]

also even in solo mode that eo might have faster buddies with it

then what

[tawny shoal]

Fun fact, the isle has longer heal times and is consistently criticised for it as well, despite being the hardcore game

[stuck tree]

you can run sure but now you have 3 struthis kicking you too

[tawny shoal]

I’d argue we’d have more players leaving with increased hela times that joining

Heal*

[stuck tree]

it isn't a matter of "don't be near the eo" when the eo is the aggressor

and they often are with help

[tawny shoal]

Mfw 2k speed eo charge

[stuck tree]

and they can headbutt you directly after too

💀

[tawny shoal]

Ye lol

[elder sand]

I’m only talking in permadeath Yall know that right ?

[tawny shoal]

Yeah

Nothing changes

Especially if solo test becomes only perma death too

[stuck tree]

people still group in solo mode, that will never change

so it still applies

[tulip vale]

yipeeee i made it to adult on my rex :3

[elder sand]

People still grouping was the whole reason I suggested it haha but true

Yall aren’t about it tho so no point arguing my point I guess

They also really need to fix baby corpses disappearing in 3 seconds flat

And giving less food than a critter

[shy moss]

Chilling with some babies on my allho

[tulip vale]

awww

[crude phoenix]

Yeah I was wondering was that intentional or ???

[tulip vale]

now i got a eo baby lmao

ive been adopted by an eo baby lmao

[elder sand]

I think it was intentional to encourage people eating critters over bby killing

[crude phoenix]

Ahh I see. Makes sense.

[elder sand]

It’s lame tho because I’d rather kill a baby then a critter

[tulip vale]

whos the baby eo sticking to a rex XD?

[shy moss]

Welp the babies and I were going after a turtle when a metri and ano showed up. They were not friendly. Sadly the babies died and I managed to damage the metri enough to get it to back off. The ano though chased me all the way to the home cave nearby.

It was a very close call

[tulip vale]

awhh noooo

where were those mixpackers?

[shy moss]

Eh I don't know I idled out while typing. I am on a different server now.

It was night time on the other one it's day on this new one

[tulip vale]

cute little baby eo good luck out there! ^^

[tulip vale]

were in the same server

[manic forge]

sorry meg at GP prob flung you around with that eo with my tail

[tulip vale]

wait eo in gp? is it big? is it alone?

[shy moss]

Well here is the baby crew I was with

[tulip vale]

awww u were at SF

[manic forge]

yeah was alone try to charge my spino but wasnt doing much

[tulip vale]

ohh

[shy moss]

I will send a friendly call if I see you 2

[tulip vale]

well look at that a stego trying to get my rex lmao

[tulip vale]

r u the backer stego?

[shy moss]

All

[tulip vale]

sure same^^

[fallen rose]

Nah I was a hatz

[tulip vale]

ahh

was the rex in gp?

[fallen rose]

No In Savannah, it looked like it was afk bc it had been sitting in the same position for a hot minute, so I went up to it and it one tapped me with a stomp

[tulip vale]

lmao nice one hahha

[fallen rose]

Lmao fr I can’t even be mad

[vague patio]

the beauty of solo mode, most deaths are fair so it's hard to be mad

[tulip vale]

@shy moss this spino at gpr u?

the default skin one?

[manic forge]

thats me

[shy moss]

Nope

I am an allo

[tulip vale]

ahh hahah

sheesh this gang is amazing XD

got so many small stuff and 3 big stuff XD

[shy moss]

I think I just ran into that same ano from before

[manic forge]

too many for my liking lol

[shy moss]

It smacked me after I took out a critter

[mighty hawk]

gg styraco sg, don't know what you wanted to try but gg nonetheless

[tulip vale]

i mean i like this rn XD its peacefull except for those pycnos XD

[manic forge]

yeah they tryna get someone singled out lol

[tulip vale]

wow albino struthi i hope u get wrekt by a critter, that was really assy from u for killing the innocent baby eo after sticking with us

sorry achi 😦

but that struthi is low af

[pallid forge]

LOL this channel here has become the nonofficial global chat replacement

[tulip vale]

yeah it did ig XD

[storm smelt]

We need a multi kill voice over, like counter strike 😂

Gg’s DL

[mighty hawk]

Voiceovers that say stuff like Prehistoric Kill, Jurassic Kill, Triassic Fatality

[storm smelt]

Lol

[tulip vale]

lmaoooo

[mighty hawk]

Would be funny to hear when you kill something

when you kill enough baby's it says: 'baby genocide, what is wrong with you?'

[storm smelt]

Would be great, same voice actor though

That guy is a legend 🙏

[mighty hawk]

mhm

[storm smelt]

Got jumped by 3 and a iggy questing near by assisted to make 2v3 close call 😅

[mighty hawk]

i get a heart attack when i see an iggy even though i'm a dasp

there just terrifying for some reason

[shy moss]

Grr I died

[mighty hawk]

rip, what we're you?

[shy moss]

2 megs and a thal

Just as server went into restart

[mighty hawk]

Talk about a restart

[drifting pecan]

Was his name mangle sting? Wicked name

[shy moss]

That's my rex

Which is juvie

[tulip vale]

well, you pycno, struthi and dasp at GPR were lucky

[shy moss]

The next dino I am playing as

[drifting pecan]

Im doin hatz,.. but ima be a nice one that gets killed by two others,.. that will be my tale,..

[tulip vale]

just dont trust adults but leave juvis alone ig XD

[shy moss]

Well at least it was a bunch of players this time and not a bunch of critters. Last night I died so many times in Ripple Beach and broken tooth canyon to critters as a 1 bar juvie I had to take a break from permadeath for the rest of the night

[wind quail]

Is stomp supposed to connect even if my dino isn't in contact with the ground?

If so, it's such a bs mechanic

[vague patio]

did u fight a laten earlier

[shy moss]

No

[vague patio]

oh ok

rip, ya died

[shy moss]

I am mostly peaceful

For example the thal was doing it's laugh for over ten minutes and I just emoted and quested away. Hardly bothered at all by it. Though, when those megs showed up I was in trouble and well I posted the end result.

[barren zephyr]

Good afternoon everybody.

[rough vector]

Hi

[barren zephyr]

^.^

So round six for the dasp, wish me luck xD

[tulip vale]

i died on my rex around 7-10 times so gl lmao

[bright sundial]

well, iggy is insanely powerful right now because of its new block ability. those who have figured it out dominate every fight easily, at least, one on one instances

being able to block and then instantly go into the standing punch combo, then immediately blocking again, is ridiculous

[barren zephyr]

I have 6 deaths for my spino, but now my spino is set and comfortable with 2 sarco kills under its belt. ^.^

[stray falcon]

Block is the ONLY useful ability on it rn

[tulip vale]

i didnt die once on my spino hahaha but its the one i gotta finish growing lmao

[barren zephyr]

I've had my run in with a couple mix groups, most of my deaths were as juvi, and one death was me afk in the ocean of all places lol

[tulip vale]

damn hahah

yeah everytime i died was when i was juvi the furthest i got was 4th bar or beginning last bar of juvi lol but now my rex is adult heheh

[barren zephyr]

Yeah I like to hop back and forth between my spino and secondary creature, kinda as a way to keep me from burning out, but had to get my spino to adult before anything xD. Now I just mess around on dasp. Ive enjoyed it since the TLC. But I refuse to use the hide.

[tulip vale]

lol

[shy moss]

Died again

Cerato and dino this time just as I reached adol too.

The deino had last bite

[oak cloak]

Wow, evil Deinon

[shy moss]

Oh and it was in Ripple Beach...again

[oak cloak]

Rare breed

[shy moss]

Don't forget the cerato they did most of the damage

Whelp bye Manglesting you were only around briefly but it was interesting trying to survive.

Funny bars

[cursive lion]

Uh if you're here what happened to you Sarco?

[bright basin]

I do hope they add something in the future that punishes 3rd partying or mega packs like that..tho I doubt that’s possible

[fallen rose]

I don’t think it’s impossible, my idea, which I doubt people would like, is to have a mechanic that makes two players invulnerable to and unable to attack other players for a minute after both players stop fighting lol

Like a 1v1 cool down or something

[tulip vale]

hows gp yall?

[nocturne bluff]

if you unlock a skin on something here, do you keep it? I know you don't keep marks / abilities

[fallen rose]

You lose it I’m pretty sure

[nocturne bluff]

oh, weird
pretty sure if you delete characters on other servers you keep the skins you unlocked?

[halcyon moat]

But at the same time this is not a common "other server"

[fallen rose]

Honestly I can’t remember I haven’t checked to see, so far after I die I just start a different species

[nocturne bluff]

well then, I'll unlock the cheapest thing with Thal or something and see if I still have it if I play long enough for it to die
And yes I know it's not, but those were the expectations set up by the way every other server works. I know this mode is different which is why I asked.

[fallen rose]

Let me know if it does bc I dont have a reason to grind for the more expensive skins since I dont last that long if it lets you keep it I might try to get them

[nocturne bluff]

will do!

I'd personally prefer it if you kept the skins, otherwise I don't think I can see myself really wanting to play this mode much, but I'm just a person that likes collecting things / unlocking things

[vague patio]

still got no idea why people care bear in this mode

[tulip vale]

hows gp? anyone at gp?

[tulip vale]

to hold off baby killers like u, its hard enough to grow in this mode and u bby killers just a pain in the butt

[vague patio]

my dude it's a survival game, I can't kill an adult dasp as a laten! as a baby all you are is food to me, if that makes ya mad... not the right game mode for ya

[tulip vale]

• some babys are cute and not killable cuz of cuteness

[stuck tree]

babies don't even give you anything in this mode...

[tulip vale]

fr

[stuck tree]

[vague patio]

satisfaction, the most important aspect of all, is granted to me umu

[tulip vale]

babys dont give even 1 single bite

[vague patio]

babies give good food to the raptors actually

[tulip vale]

yeah satisfaction of being the most annoying piece of quack u can be

to make life harder for ppl who just wanna test out the mode

[vague patio]

u sound like u feel pity for that baby dasp that ran into its own stego's tail attack

don't feel bad, be glad, this is evolution in the process!

perhaps they will re load as a new dino, such as a rhamph! much less thinknig involved

[tulip vale]

i dont feel pitty lol im just saying why we carebear lol

[vague patio]

The mode in question: Advertised as a hard version with lots of combat and brutal death if you mess up

The casual players who don't quite get it: W-why aren't you playing the game my way and being nice?

[tulip vale]

the game is supposed to be a hard mode yes but its not a mode wich is "grow your dino to kill helpless and foodless babys just to annoy the quack outta ppl to not even try this mode"

wich is legit what 95% of the players on the permadeath servers do

[stuck tree]

it'd be one thing if it's for food but the babies don't even GIVE food and even a baby dasp vs a laten means that dasp ain't putting up any fight to be fun imo

an adolescent or sub sure but a juvie? that's about as fun as killing a critter

ie: not very

[simple geyser]

If critters are allowed to kill babies, why not other players? Might not be very sporting or fun or rewarding, but think about it from the baby's perspective, would it be fun to grow without any sort of danger or threat?

[tulip vale]

exactly.

[tulip vale]

fr

[stuck tree]

critters being allowed to kill babies doesn't mean much cause they're bots, idk how that factors in

i don't have an issue with players killing babies per-say but to do that then be shocked someone intervenes is kinda silly cause... yeah people generally don't like seeing something unfair happen

[vague patio]

You don't get it dude, it's a survival game, but it's only survival once I make it to adult, otherwise it's unfair and bby killers are huuuuge jerks!!!

[stuck tree]

so you can kill babies, but expect someone might intervene

they're not in the wrong for that anymore than you

"wrong" so to speak

[tulip vale]

u cant compare non human intelligence to a human being, critters are artificial intelligence theyve been PROGRAMMED to attack players they cant otherwise thats their "job" player on the other hand can decide if they want to fight it or not and critters are litearlly a pain in the ass for babys as 96% of them attack players only 4-5 are passive and fleeing so its rlly annoying and useless to kill babys as a player

[vague patio]

it takes like 2 hours to get to adult in this mode anyways, not a huge loss regardless

[stuck tree]

so why is it a problem if someone 'carebears' and attacks you, after all it's just 2 hrs

[vague patio]

it's not useless to kill babies, I get to reset the progress on people that might bother me later, and makes me feel entertained, it's an absolute win

[stuck tree]

just seems weird to single someone out-- omg

what was that

[vague patio]

they can do what they want, it's just funny and pretty pointless

[tulip vale]

not a huge loss? when u die ur 2-4 hrs of time is gone for nothing, so its a big loss...

[stuck tree]

and i'd argue it's pretty pointless to kill a juvie which you're probably not even really resetting that far anyway tbh

[tulip vale]

yeah yk what, lets see how u feel once u start a new dino and get killed over and over and over again lets see how u gonna feel abt that

[stuck tree]

i just think it's a weird to call someone out on it in the discord

[vague patio]

there are two things to do in PoT: grow and kill

I am simply completing my divine, Matt granted mission

[tulip vale]

yeah exactly,

1. it doesnt give food
2. if u kill a juvi it just resets back to the beginning
3. its not even skillfull to kill babys since they cant really protect themselfs from adults

[vague patio]

see all of my dinos make it to adult before I die and I go out on fights I choose, because I'm good at hiding and surviving :)

may this young dasp learn from his mistakes 🙏

[stuck tree]

yeah shame on him for completeing quests to grow

the fool

[tulip vale]

yeah cuz ur a laten but others are apexes or subapexes or midtiers

[simple geyser]

I don't even kill babies due to trophy hunting instincts, but I fully agree with nightling.

[tulip vale]

FR LMAOO :T

[vague patio]

nah, I have grown a sarc, pyc, and cera as well

[tulip vale]

u can only grow 2 things on permdeath

[vague patio]

I just like laten in this mode bc I feel like the game is dino dark souls bc all the fights are usually in my enemy's favor

[vague patio]

yeah and the others died bc I got them to adult and took them to big fights bc I got bored

it's just how the game works

if all you do is never get in any exciting or potentially risky fight, the game is just boring

this is why struthi players have no rights

[tulip vale]

i got into many interesting fights in permadeath today, into a 1 v 1 with a stego, both of us survived, then i fought off 3 pycnos from a baby eo, and then a struthi killed all babys :T

[vague patio]

glad u had fun!

[tulip vale]

thx lol

im still alive on both my dinos lucky haha^^

[vague patio]

struth should not be allowed in this mode imo but that's just me

I also think hatz shouldn't be allowed but oh well

[tulip vale]

yeah no it shouldnt

[stuck tree]

struth is annoying but hatz...

hatz gotta go

[outer grotto]

i dont see a problem in babykilling in solo, doesnt take long to grow anyways, this is a hardcore gamemode, people should expect a more difficult experience

[vague patio]

yeah I died on my sarco in a 2v1 where I messed up vs another sarco (I was careless and thought it wouldn't have normal bite)...

my pycno? let's just say GP discord group kept calling more people and eventually there were too many for me to mess with

[tulip vale]

both gotta go

[simple geyser]

Everyone hates my beloved hatz.

[outer grotto]

normal officials yea its kind of annoying bc growth takes so long but here its literally so fast lol

[stuck tree]

i love hatz, on normal officials they're annoying but on here their abiltity to say "lol nah", fly away, then come back to you no matter what is a bit too much for a permadeath mode

[outer grotto]

discord groups in solo perma?

[vague patio]

I mean hatz as a combatant is whatever, but hatz and struth are just a lil too good at combat to be able to escape essentially for free

yes struth isn't nearly as strong as even laten BUT it never dies and can keep combat going forever, and that kick is real dumb vs certain dinos

[stuck tree]

especially since a lot of smaller things can barely withstand it's beak and insane turn

[vague patio]

mmm yeah I found one in GP a week ago on my pyc, was just a stego and a baby dasp, then 2 megs showed up, then a struth... you can see how I could tell

[outer grotto]

gross

[vague patio]

yup

that;s why I like laten in this mode

everything seems pretty fair and I can escape everything

[hasty willow]

Man, these Eos out here starving me

[outer grotto]

i have a hatz currently, been able to escape most groups/pairs for the most part, but tbh after playing it and hitting the 5 hr mark on playtime, i agree with mid it's way too strong for this gamemode

[vague patio]

oh yeah, apexes in this mode are funny, you're going to get even less interaction here than on officials lmao

[hasty willow]

Every baby herbie I've run into today has had an adult Eo with them

[vague patio]

yeah basically, and u can just spec into attack sub with flail and beak to never lose to other hatz by just landing

[hasty willow]

Honestly, it's the Peck Barrage and Evil Eye combo. Peck Barrage does too much for this gamemode.

[outer grotto]

yeah peck barrage is crazy

[hasty willow]

It does so much damage

[outer grotto]

if you have max stacks its pretty much over for anything 3 slot and below

[vague patio]

I mean I think peck barrage only works vs bad or super slow players

as someone who has killed a lot of hatz as a lot of things

normal peck vs most things 3 slots and below beats them imo

[outer grotto]

i dont think ive even seen an adult eo yet 😭 but i hang out in the right side of the map in the arid parts bc my skin is orange

[hasty willow]

Exactly, and with Evil Eye nothing really has a chance against you since they do 15% less damage and you just keep getting more

[vague patio]

a good player will simply wait out the barrage CD or bait it

evil eye is truly dumb tho

[hasty willow]

Honestly I think the problem is more that they can just spam Peck Barrage.

[vague patio]

but if u run into another hatz with beak barrage, u can just wingbeat them away

[hasty willow]

And Evil Eye is lame

[vague patio]

yeah the issue with hatz isn't even the combat, it's that u can never escape it and it has insane range

[outer grotto]

true, ive been running peck and stab on normal officials, but here i've found more success with peck barrage (because every other hatz runs it and i dont want to get out-dps'd on the ground 😭)

[hasty willow]

I have run into so many adult Eos today. I just wanna do my hunt herbie quest

[vague patio]

yeah I think normal peck beats barrage, u have to trade with the first barrage, then wingbeat away the second while running to make it wear off, rinse and repeat

[outer grotto]

love my evil bird

[hasty willow]

I think the problem more so is the combo of Peck Barrage and Evil Eye. One or the other I think would be fine, but not both.

How long is the CD on peck barrage stacks anyways? 10secs? 30secs?

[stuck tree]

I've seen hatz run down camptos and struthis by flying, diving, landing to peck them with their gross noodle necks, then repeat

[outer grotto]

10 seconds

[stuck tree]

and it's crazy effective with peck which restores some stam

[hasty willow]

Yeah, Hatz is a little busted in this mode

I think if it didn't have Peck Barrage and Evil Eye it wouldn't be as bad though

[vague patio]

tbf any good campto and struth should not ever be getting hit by a flying bus like that but especially for new players it can be rly overwhelming

[outer grotto]

on my hatz i go for 3 slots and above because i know ill just steamroll anything smaller than that 😭 but my morality has gotten me killed on officials in multiple occasions so

[stuck tree]

you'd be surprised, they can keep pace pretty well even if you're turning if the hatz is good

sure campto could maybe hop away then it's outta stam

[outer grotto]

imo reducing flight speed and increasing flight stam would help a lot

u can fly from hotsprings to yg in 2 mins

thats crazy

[hasty willow]

I think the bighest problem is Hatz isn't fun to encounter. It isn't the same kind of oh my god, I could die here it's the annoyance of I am going to die here unless this Hatz is so hopelessly bad that I can escape. Because you really don't have to be that good to spam Peck Barrage and chase people down.

[vague patio]

mmm nah my morality really depends on what dino I am playing

I have my own tier list of how nice I am on certain dinos

By far my most incorrigible and toxic dinos that will immediately fall into dino hell upon the final release of the game are Meg and Sarco

[stuck tree]

this 100%

[vague patio]

although laten might be there too, something super satisfying about turning at mach **** and slicing up enemies

[outer grotto]

when i see an apex baby it's on sight

[stuck tree]

i hate megs sm, it's unjustified bias but i can't shake it
