For better or worse, they remain 

She did indeed :] I couldn't possibly guess who he was xD Definitely the biggest threat she faced though! What a warrior

Oh boi

I believe the video of that raptor is titled 'Jaded Warrior' and has some pretty epic music.

Lol

Thank you! I find that giving my dinos a story and personality makes the game so much more enjoyable. I can't wait for the elder system to give it that much more impact as well

I used to play it almost exclusively before I got my new PC, now I don't mess with it

"gentle" giants

Yeee😅

Fat, bulky, and will absolutely kill you if you get too close

Why is this accurate

Thank you :] I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the high compliments

i agree, Metta and OwlTime are the two Isle channels that I always come back to because of their narrative styles. I love the way they approach the game. It makes it feel even more real, and emphasizes the investment put into each dino. Amazing stuff.

Eventually

Yup! He's a force to be reckoned with!

Hi

@@acronym6837hello acro :D you are a good raptor player lol.

@@acronym6837 personally i love how you chased the other raptor off :) nice to see honor in games like this.

I'm glad you enjoy my content :] Thank you for your kind words!

No day is too late!

Thanks for watching!

I'm not big into stego gameplay at the current time, but sometimes it's really nice to slow down and just wander the island as a peaceful, lumbering herbivore!

That's so unfortunate :/ did you try turning down your render distance? Also Punchpacket mentioned something about simply going into settings and hitting "apply" each time you join a server having the odd effect of increasing performance in some cases. Hopefully you can get it figured out :[

yeah i've turned everything down. ill give the clicking apply thing a go though. first time hearing about that. hopefully it helps!

Thank you :] I'm glad you enjoyed!

Yeah, these days it's basically chat box and wander. Which is great for those who prefer doing so, but becomes very dull very fast as someone who thrives on action and challenge

It's in big part to the fact as Metta said in the video: There isn't really any big threats toward stegos especially when they are part of a huge herd and/or mixpacking

@@Sassafrass95 indeed. Acronym and I started a hunt on a solo sub steg the other day. He 4 called once. Next thing we knew, about 12 stegos appeared to defend bro against two dilos. Was it necessary? No. A good stego in the swamp can handle a pair of dilos easily. Copies don't work there and dilo agility is horrible so its not crazy difficult to hit them if you understand their movement. But hey, why risk it when you can simply throw 12 tanks at the problem? Now if we had been two rexes....

@@dinometta think stego will be fun as hell when trike and trex join the roster!

@@Xxnightwolf66xX I do hope so!!

Thank you!

Casually steals

As an animal, I find stegosaurus incredibly endearing. I may not love them in the isle in their current state, but that's more the fault of being added before they have proper predators than it is because they're a bad animal overall!

@dinometta they aren't even a bad animal. People are just dick heads. Im glad they can't fish for deinos as easily

You are a lifesaver. I hate that thing so dang much and couldn't figure out how to make it go away 😭

Having played one for a week, absolutely. But I did find that if you're lonely and want to just hang out with people and chat, stego is the place to be. At least on Petits, they're all very friendly

Enter the Rex

@@smefour *please*

Wait are you KitKat from PoT or am I trippin lol (they’re a viewer of my channel, played styra with them for a little bit, met them on the Path of Titans server I played - I’m bad with remembering names so this could be a different person with the same name lol)

honestly it‘s really easy to grow a stego, doesn‘t get hungry very quickly, so until you are adult u can afk 80% of the time. Once you‘re adult, you bully the entire server

I'm glad you enjoyed

Thank you!

Yeah, I enjoy a good defensive strategy. But right now a competent stego is basically invincible unless a quad of skilled ceratos shows up.

Thank you

I'm one of the few that simply chooses to defend myself rather than pushing for a body count

@@dinometta quote of the century

I know, I was simply determined to beat him in a bite fight xD

@@dinometta lol i probably would too playing as a stego

@@-..EijiroKirishima..- stego is so tanky I don't get nervous in a 1v1 unless my water gets low.

The one true GOAT

I couldn't possibly know xD And nah, he only attacked me once. There's two other black and white raptors that came at me and they were all different

@@dinometta ohhhh ok it was hard to tell with the one in swamp due to nightvision lol

@@dtbrex08 yeah nah, that encounter happened at a time Acro couldn't possibly be online

@@dinometta ah 🤣 makes sense, liked the mysterious commentary when Acro fought you 🤣 saw a little bit of his video already

Most likely! I look forward to the added challenge

Gonna be good 😊

It's on the way soon!

I was laughing, I'd done a big blooper word stumble on the word stegosaurus on the first take and was still amused when I started the second one 🤣 This was all one growth cycle. I didn't die a single time. Things may not have all happened in the same order as an adult as in the video though simply because I moved back and forth between swamp and Highlands 5-6 times during gameplay

@@dinomettaoh ok that’s funny 🤣 I’m definitely not ready to make videos like yours with that kinda commentary, if I ever do which I don’t plan to. Yeah stego is just so tanky lol, Ive done the same thing with my compilations before, just rearrange the clips sometimes. How long would you say it took to travel from swamp to highlands and vice versa, and how much food would you risk on those trips? Trying to grow every creature at least once and I haven’t done stego yet lol

@@dtbrex08 oh it probably took about 20-30 minutes of walking/running to 60% stam and regaining to get there each time

I'd always recommend having full food, but I traveled on fresh spawn levels and grazing fairly often too without trouble

@@dinomettalate reply but after coincidentally (or not?) growing a stego the past 2 days I was thinking the exact same thing lol, at about 55% grown it took me about 25 minutes I’d say off the top of my head to get to highlands from swamp and probably lost about a third of food if not more getting there, suprisingly though I enjoy even the chill playables playstyles so as long as I’m moving on stego and interacting with others I’m having fun with it 🤣

I don't have it specifically written up somewhere, but my Livestreams generally have my basic specs in the description

@@dinometta Thanks, I shall keep an eye out!

Only when they're young. But also a stego with 0 stamina in this patch is as good as dead since they become essentially defenseless

It was YOU!!!! 😭😭😭

I struggle to follow lots of rules for realism servers. Petits low rules are enough to keep me happy

Yup hard agree. They're not my cup of tea

RTX 3080, i-5 13600k CPU, 32 gb RAM

Yeah, that pack of 5 had me essentially stuck there for 20 minutes minimum. I only killed 1 of them in that time. With patience and had those other stegos not shown up, they would have eventually killed me simply because I would have died of dehydration. I couldn't walk away because walking as a stego after being pounced does 3x blood loss or something like that. I understand now why they panic and they camp when they come under attack. A solo raptor is one thing, you can bite it to death before it can bite you to death, but a pack of even 3 decent raptors becomes dangerous if you don't have easy access to water to patiently aim your swings

Pachy players are probably the most aggressive to exist

It's a scientific fact! Stegosaurus was believed to be one of the least intelligent dinosaurs due to their tiny head/brain size relative to their body mass!

She's not wrong

Nah man, not staged, simply recognizing my friend's skin and making the conscious choice based on my knowledge of his fighting style to bite back instead of risking missed swings and giving him free hits. I was yellow health at the end of that fight, not in any real danger of dying despite choosing not to start swinging until after he pounced me. Can't say the same for his health when he made the choice to walk away. It's a survival game, we all make choices based on our survival. I know enough about stego to not fear a bite fighting raptor AND to know that missed swings give bite fighters a perfect opportunity for free hits. There's no such thing as a free bite when the stego chooses to bite back.

Beat me to it

If I were to play stego more often, I'd grow to about 40% and then restart. Above there is when people decide you're not worth the effort to hunt

@@dinometta Yep that's about right.
