Is Gateway The Success Story We've Been Waiting For? | The Isle Evrima 

I think when other semi aquatics are added it will make all the water source dangerous and I think it’s good that Deino can’t inhabit every water source in the game. Those water source can go to bary and suchos

9:00 as a Ptera, migration is forced upon you based on fish availability. Generally you can spend a half hour by a lake, but then it is empty and you have to move to a different lake. I have spent a lot of time flying hungry checking every body of water to find some fish or a carcass. That feels realistic. I have always ignored the migration marker.

The Developer for the map needs to have every class in mind when he's making one honestly, I hate when people say ''Not every area needs to cater to a certain class!'' Eeerr, yes, yes it does, when the map isnt suited for all the classes they add, then it'll make a lot of them obsolete. Like right now my biggest irritation with the map is how poorly it suits Herrera in most areas, those thin palm trees that have no were to rest on them doesnt count and that's what's scattered around 95% of the migrations areas. There's barely a reason to even leave South anymore as a Herrera and to me, that's a problem, because the rest of the map just doesnt support it but as a main of it, I want to be able to thrive in all areas and die to my own failures...Not because the map was trash or everyone was playing the same class. The map needs a lot of work, a poor map makes for poor gameplay just as much as a overpowered class does.

I think they should incorpate some sort of system where when the Deino walks along the migration zone, it's stamina and dehydration drains are reduced by maybe a 3rd or something? While out of combat and on land, ofc.

I personally love the new map. On spiro growing was a lot harder since you constantly ran into people. And once you grew up you pretty much deathmatched until you died. On gateway the game feels slower and more chill. It’s safer to grow and move around. And once you’re adult you have a choice if you want to fight or not. There’s enough room now to stay away from others and nest for example.

I yearn for the Ava sound

I wish there were drinkable water spots on the islands off the coast. I went over there as a troodon and loved it, but couldn’t stay because I’d dehydrate. Why let us go over there?!

I think the diet system really fucks the fun for in the game being forced to be in specific areas or being forced to hunt specific dinos that are probably not even being played, only to be punished with absurdly long growth and an over all weaker character

Its pretty clear that Gateway is just in a placeholder state for us to play on while they develop it further and push updates out. Its getting there slowly but surely. I absolutely love this game regardless. Looking forward to playing as Diablo soon and hopefully with mutations involved. Keep up the great content mate

Just PLEASE let them bring back being able to see my health in the growth menu 🙏

i feel like gateway overall has been an improvement, and the stamina system is at least playable now. my favorite recent change is how they redistributed weight growth with % growth, making it feel like you grow faster and can participate in the game more earlier on. i do think migrations just create temporary hotspots that you can't choose to leave if herbivore, so i wish those were better tho :/ if i miss anything about spiro, it was how center map was like an open arena for fights haha

I only play Deino. The new map has drastically reduced my other dino encounters and now its a fish or other deino diet only. And as someone who wont eat deinos unless absolutely dying of starvation. I hate it. I miss having hot spots like central.

it's just too many mountains on gateway and the stamina was the nail in the coffin ,

migration and stamina changes pushed me away also just doesn't help that it felt like if I didn't sit at the hotspots I was almost 100% gonna starve

Only problem I have with this map is how large it is, and how little interspecies interaction there is. A Herrera can go it’s full life on server (with full life meaning like, 10 hours?) without ever meeting a different species, even in more popular areas. Deinos half the time literally HAVE to be cannibals or need a full fish diet otherwise, because you just don’t come across any players!

I have the feeling that the first integration of gateway was better than second, i really liked railways

Yeah, all good points, I do think it is getting better and is destined to be a great game, my take on issues of updates and features messing with the game is that its a 'work in progress' by a small team trying to do something with a game that has never really existed before, so its all new ground to be trodden on, to be honest I am enjoying the development an the drama it can bring, its fascinating watching such a small Dev team tackle such difficult problems in a game genre that really has never existed before, we are still yet to see some of the truly huge Dinos, these will mix things up a lot

The jungles are too deep i dont meet even 1 another dino

I’m glad you made this video because I was wondering if Gateway really lived up to the hype after all the complaints I heard after it was released I wish there were more maps available to play on I wish they would add desert maps to the game again I miss the Grim Expanse they could make like a parody of the Nile having forests, swamps, jungles, and grasslands around rivers or ponds and bodies of water and you have vegetation like aloe’s and shrubs the further into the desert they could even have this map be the main weather system map with droughts lowering bodies of water and add a digging mechanic for certain or all playables were you dig pits to get access to water like chimpanzees and feral donkeys I’m kind of more certain playables like ceratopsian’s and sauropods along with hadrosaurs making them keystone species and a valuable member of any herd they could add human structures like pyramids or sand covered chariots I just wish they would do something different with each map environment like with a certain jungle on the map there could be a forest clearing with edible plants or offshore islands with a different landscape I’ve always wanted a map were each island was different and players would swim across to their preferred island the islands don’t have to be huge and for crying out loud the devs could even make a mountain map since they like cliffs so much

The only good spot for deinos that I know right now is south plain, but it's not that easy to get there

gateway compared to spiro has made dienos alot more cannibals since..like you said not really many people beside two spots you can go to for dieno. So its dienos eating dienos unless you're at east plains pond, or south plains river, hence tons of players. Its kinda sad really.

All I want it's more aquatic dinos to rival with deinos!

Outstanding observation concerning the devs going 0 to 100. I always say they are "all or nothing". They have got to learn the middle ground. It's either Ai everywhere or Ai nowhere. Its either dark all the time or getting daylight at 5am. Good job on this.

Players: work on humans, dinosaurs, and fix bugs Devs: let’s remake combat, animations, maps, stamina, ai, growth, and camera system for no reason in particular.

In my opinion, this is what the game needs. We need the apex’s Rex and triceratops, 2 semi aquatic dinosaurs probably scaling in the medium rage size one carnivore one herbivore. increase the size of the crock to make it a true Apex. (long grow time though, should be a real challenge) One more semi aquatic apex herbivore. Nesting needs changing its dead right now. One way I can think of making it better would be to give the player the option to still create what skin he wants despite what the parents look like. I also think that there should be a permanent growth buff maybe 5%. There should be a player increased count on the server maybe 150. AI dinosaurs, that act like Real dinosaurs and play by the same rules as players that is reasonable of course, obviously AI needs help here and there. And I could go on and on, but I am going to leave it here. I also want to add that I stop playing the game four months ago don’t plan on coming back till 2025 beginning of the year.

I think Gateway even though was not even close to being perfect was a positive, it is far better than Spiro in terms of it's design but one enormous issue with it is the performance. Like I admit I do have a tendancy to want to play this game on the highest graphs settings because it looks so damn beautiful but I shouldn't need an RX6750XT, a graphics card meant for 1440p gaming to play it on 1080p highest and get 50-60 fps. Yea they added FSR and all but it doesn't even work (I don't even know if DLSS does) and I have no idea why they made it so that Nvidia GPUs can't use FSR, not everyone has an RTX card and if FSR worked and was available to everyone including people with GTX cards, they could at least get some decent upscaling to improve their frames. Other than that pretty much every issue I have with this game are player behaviour issues, though I guess there are community servers for that.

Gateway is a great map, I just hope spiro doesn’t disappear and at least returns as a server option for those who are nostalgic for it, good practice/vibe server too. Also I sure as heck hope AI playables never return, the tenos were nice for carnivores who needed food, but they were a nightmare for tenos looking for groups

How do you get tehse shots with replay mod being broken and all? Also great vid man

a flooding map would be amazing!

The last time i played was V3 and a tiny bit of thenyaw (or whatever it was called) and to me, Gateway is an extreme improvement. Also the first time I got to play Deino and I love it, have played it almost exclusively. I do agree we need more waterways tho, so much of the map is entirely inaccessible to us. That said, you are factually wrong about lakes being unreachable as deino. You can absolutely reach every single body of water as a deino. Wether thats a good idea or not is a different question.

I know a lot of people hate AI dinos but i feel like theyre needed. The map is huge, it needs more going on and more food options. Maybe make AI dinos follow the mz religiously. theyre definitely needed tho. Also this is just me dreaming but i could imagine myself playing troodon and not finding enough for a pack, but being able to nest in AI to keep my pack numbers up to be able to hunt. When they die i could nest in more. I know it prolly wouldnt work well but i think itd be cool.

Dont mind the map but it needs some small changes, to me its very resrictive to many mountains and slopes you cant walk up a few to many rocks all over the place.

The gateway has a problem with traveling because domes, ravines and other cool shit looks awsome but makes the gateway really closed and cramped. There is also the road system wich makes it easier to travel but makes everything look so unnatural in my opinion Like few roads is nice but gateway is just ROADS everwhereee

Definitely wrong about deino. There's always people playing them. They just don't make up 25% of the server now, which is actually good. Now there's only maybe 5 or so on the map at a time, which is honestly perfect when there's only 100 players.

I like the Evrima map, but there is still way too much wasted space. Lately I've noticed some previously empty spots now have some AI at least, but the map could really use a lot of improvements - different ecosystems, zones, etc. And the AI is still an issue, still not working correctly. I love this game and have played for years, and what it does well, it does really well, but Lord a'mighty, development is so slow and spotty!

Scale the whole landscape on the Z axis to about 0.35. It would still be a nice map, but it would have less steep hills. Of course I understand it's not actually that easy. But would you actually miss the steepness.

After last update I spend more time in Q then in game.. was a lot less errors before.

Anyone know if there is a game like the isle but in the ancient oceans with prehistoric marine life

how'd did u get that slow moving movement in replay mode???

I stoped playing becouse of this map... I spawn in and if I'm not killed the second I start to walk then I go and either starve or fall of clifs... It's frustraiting. One time I was able to find water, diet and some other ppl and the ducking server crushed 😒

honestly imo idrk care about how the gameplay is when i barely can get 40 fps in a good spot on the lowest setting possible the isles performance is absolutely the worst preforming game I've and like 99% of the player base have ever played on top of the 100 bugs that fk you over every 5 mins and make you have to relog. I cant count the amount of times I've had to relog. I swear i relog more than i play the game. i feel the player base would double if they could play the dam thing and not be looking at a slide show presentation.

UCJ why do they TAKE SO LONG to update aint theyre ment to be dibble coming this month?

Devs hate deino.

The Isle devs are siths! They deal in absolutes!

was afk growing a utah lmfao

lol talking about small ponds. youll be surprised to find a deino in the west rail access pond and think well im gonna drink here because why the eff would an adult deino even try to get here about the map size, yes it quite big and people stick around to much but the easy fix is to populate it with much more AI to make it attractive to move around and explore, gets more immersive and you have to make decisions or rather be carefull if you deal with an AI or a human player. if the bring rex and other apexas they really need to stretch out players over the map with this because you can already imagine discord groups with three or more apexas clearing out an entire migration zone because reasons

Problem that i have is that they release update once a year and they fup so bad. We expected TREX to be released at new year(2024) now it's almost june, half a year later not a single word, dafuq. Mark my words GTA6 will be released and we wont get trex and problem with fps will NOT be fixed. Im playing with intel i9 and rtx 4080 and my pc DIE, fps is disaster no mather what graphic settings i set. I was playing deino and ptera before gateway so now game is basically dead for me. Now im playing raptor but in every fight i got sound/screen flash bug and im just dead and they cant fix even that for 2 months. F you Dondi...

I’m growing a deino

i am afk growing a barryonix

I just want them to make the ai better 😂 I can't find shit 😒 and the maps feels to big for only have 100 people

We need better ai system 😊

Honestly I prefer spiro 😞

Afk growing a silo 😂

I wouldn't say it was made just for deino it's more of a semi aquatic map for all semi aquatics only problem is deino is the only one in game beipi is to but no one really cares about that guy

Bring bavk random spawns every1 just spawns south...

I hate how the map ruined ptera. And the map itself has quite a terrible design. Everyone says "just use online map", but this just means the design is bad if they don't give us in-game maps.

As a deino main ngl gateway boring.. , i can play like 5 hours and not have any opportunities of drowning or hunting anything

I think they need a better map and more playables thats it

Yoooo second

Nah hotspots have been fixed majorly

Spiro is 100x more fun than Gateway.

The answer is NO. This game has lost THOUSANDS of players over the last few years. I used to play Legacy with over 100 people in my various Discord channels. Now in 2024, NONE of them play The Isle. Everyone I know has completely abandoned this game. They all play Path of Titans now. Evrima is garbage with no fun dinos to play.

Nah the map sucks ass
