I couldn't agree more! This game is constantly changing which makes it fun and exciting to see how outcomes will occur and adapting to those changes while maintaining your playstyle around the dinos you specifically love.

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

we will have 65 original dinos and probably 100 more mod dinos in the end. there are almost 50 original dinos yet to come. each of them will influence the ecosystem and yet people go crazy if dino 7 is stronger as dino 13 during update 37 of 200 ^^ so, nice to see you enjoy the game for what it is. which is in development

@Bernadette_258 13 дней назад

I really like this concept you have a really reasonable and realistic point of view

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

thx mate ♥ I love that game and I am often emotional about it. but, I am also an old man who has seen many games, many alphas and many development highs and lows of different games and companies. so, there isn't much which can shock or surprise me anymore. in comparison to all the things I witnessed, they are doing a good job. not the best I have ever seen, but a really good job when you consider all circumstances

@soulfullcreations7308 13 дней назад

Balance will be a forever changing thing, as soon as a new mechanic is added, either a new attack, new playable, or like venom etc, each mechanic will cause a different effect to each playable and how that fits within the current ecosystem. To think that all the creases would be ironed out is just shooting yourself in the foot, especially in the HT. But if your goal is to afk grow and kill, your missing the point and will die because you think you are bigger and better then everyone and make costly mistakes and playing that way you miss the learning curve and the actual fun of the game, which is surviving in an unforgiving world. As always Mombie your right on the money!

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

thx mate ♥ that's so true. to speak about balance at this stage of development is ridiculous in it's own. so many are yet to come and each will influence the ecosystem. yeah, it's mostly these bush growers who complain the most, even if they understand the game the least

@benmarsh2175 13 дней назад

I’m not sure they are asking for everything to be equal in abilities and power but rather that there is a consistent fair chance for things to fight/flee. Eg cera in legacy is unbalanced vs an allo as it is slower, lighter, less stam and has lower damage. Balance in this context would be allowing cera to fight or flee the allo by buffing its raw stats or with a mechanic

@Rammbukk 13 дней назад

It wasn't really that bad tbh, a cera's advantage would be in it's incredible turning rate, which often would flip the table either when fighting or fleeing. I both agree and disagree, I think the devs should do balance, and I think they are actually not that bad at it either, as most things can either fight or flee pretty well. But playing a dino which is "underpowered" or require extra vigilance and strategic thinking can also very rewarding!

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

allo isn't even in the game yet. so, we have to see. yes, cera was kind of messed up when an allo spotted it in legacy. but, that's also only half the truth. if you saw the allo coming from far enough, then you were able to outrun it with your stam and often got away. but yeah, legacy had exceptions and there might also be some in evrima. an anky will never be able to outrun someone, so, as long as you don't make it almost unbreakable like in PoT, there will be moments where you can't do much. still, in general the game is designed to survive. so, each (or at least most) dinos will have the chance to avoid stronger ones. the balance is about survivability. we have to see how they will handle allo vs cera, anky and all the others which are yet to come. with about 60 dinos there will be match ups which will be rather unfair as well. but, that doesn't matter imo. because you will find yourself in unfair situations all the time. no matter if a stego is hugging a cliff, a teno escapes on a rock and safe logs, an adult which is hunting your juvie or 5 carnos which hunt down your solo teno. there are barely fair fights anyway and mostly it's not about stats.

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

@@Rammbukk that's such a good point or even idea, as I never thought about that. but yeah, if some dinos require a lot of experience and/or skills to survive, then this can also be a good thing. as you give people a reason to dig even deeper into the game

@No_name8374 13 дней назад

i disagree with that :/ Cera vs allo is simply more stacked in the allos favor but a good cera player can kill a allo! go watch owltimes videos and it proves that the matchup isn't as unbalanced as most people make it out to be. (yes legacy cera is still kinda shit but it wasnt complete shit xd)

@NemesisDawn 13 дней назад

I personally like PVP but I try to do it on my terms in an environment that suits my dino. For example, as a Herrera, I like to hang out in the swamp and near narrow rivers because there are nice trees and rocks to take advantage of and also schooling fish to survive on. I don't actively roam looking for PVP, I hang around my environment, survive and wait for PVP to find me cause every creature needs water. I play Herrera like a tree croc where ambush from the trees and rock faces are the nature of the beast. I still have much to learn. Great video, very informative! 👍

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

thx mate ♥ that's what I love about the isle. each dino offers unique playstyles. like you said, an ambush herra is very nice to play. it's a mix of action and patience. an omni is very often more action. a stego is much more relaxed and so on. to use the surroundings to equal some disadvantages and turn them into your favor is a huge part of the game to me. we have a lot of influence in terms of balance imo. it's nice to hear you dig into it and enjoy the gameplay of herra. so many dinos are yet to come and I am sure you will enjoy many more down the line

@ALunaticWithAShotgun 13 дней назад

Balancing the game around pvp is indeed ridiculous, imagine it this way: if a solo Omni is capabile of killing a T.Rex, then what is the point of Rex taking longer to grow and being slower ? If they are going to be equal in strength, then they should be equal in terms of everything else. Because why would anyone spend extra time growing a larger dino if they are not going to be superior to the smaller one at the end of their growth ? And at the end of the game that's not what this game is about, it's about survival and if something can run away or hide from a threat it's still viable and well balanced. A Hypsi doesn't need to outrun a Carno because it can easily disappear into the dense foliage and never be found.

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

another good point. doesn't make sense to grow a rex if a troodon is as strong as any other

@@ehwouldntuagree8442 jeez, how often will people complain about alpha business as usual. a sub was always faster than an adult. a stego sub is still faster than an adult. I didn't try the other ones, but, even if they changed these stats at some dinos, NOBODY cares but people who have no idea what alpha means. so pls, educate yourself before you accuse them of not knowing how their game works. they know way better than you how it works.

Alpha sure you can make that excuse if people complain about some stupid thing that hasnt been fixed in 2 weeks but not in 6 months.

Balance is an always on topic thing for every development studios. You can only achieve balance if you have the same type of protagonists and antagonists. This game is more about realism, survival and each creatures in this game come from different eras and many of these creatures would never been meet. You can only relatively balanced to similar size creatures but usually what makes you better is the skill set and a good internet. If your pc and internet bad you can only optimize to downgrade the visuals to earn more fps. Skill can only measure if you played a certain creature for a long time. As a Hypsi player my goal not to kill only compete with similar sized creatures, avoid enemies, sruvive or play hide & seek. Hypsi not meant to kill a Carno (wet dreams) but about to avoid predators. Some herbivore have better skill set to fend off predators but this can only be materialized once the whole designed roster is complete. Like Hypsi still can get the climbing which makes them immune to most predators except Herra, Ptera, any other who can climb. Dryo burrowing meant to avoid predators and providing nesting options in the burrow. They have abilities what others don't and that makes them superior in one aspect but weaker in others. Also once a new creature added the devs need to recheck the content if it breaks it or not. This is a constant change and suddenly creatures won't be op and others low tier. PvP games thrive or fail on balance but it depends on the context and what the game aim to achieve. A game where characters are similar, have different kind of weapons can be balanced if you add magic, abilities, future skills etc to the characters you makes it harder to balance. Complexity makes often the game harder to be balanced especially if you have games like Warframe over 800 weapons and almsot 60 original warframes (variants exist). Developers use the core gameplay loop as a balancing standard and checking every single bit of items if that is balanced to the other.

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

quote "This is a constant change and suddenly creatures won't be op and others low tier". that's such a good point. people who complain about stego, will go crazy IF they really add pue and yeah, that's why the balance is about survivability. it's impossibel to balance it about PVP without making it ridiculous like hypsi getting the spit power of a rocket launcher

@No_name8374 13 дней назад

this is really what people need to understand! the game can be balanced but its never gonna be in the way people imagine it should be. You got people who say sense the game is based in realism it can never be balanced cause real life isn't balanced and then you got the people who say that the game is unbalanced cause omnis cant take on stegos and they need to change it so it can be balanced, and what both sides fail to realize is yes the game can be balanced but not in the way they want or expect it to be. stego vs omni IS BALANCED! a omni pack can run away if need be! and the stego has the tools to fend off the omni pack! its balanced because both sides have what they need for the encounter between each other, In this game its fight or flight and the balance comes from a creature's ability to do one or the other. Omnis can choose to take flight than risk dying in a fight stacked against them, and the stego can stand its ground and fight in a situation where it can't run away. That is the balance! The game only becomes unbalanced when both options are off the table! If teno couldn't fight back against carno that would be unbalanced! cause carno is faster and the teno doesn't have the mobility or needed speed to get away! that would be a real issue and completely break the balance between those two, sense now one side is completely helpless against the other! but thankfully that isnt the case and teno vs carno is one of the more fair fights in the game. There is no unbalanced matchups in the game, Every creature has the option of flight or fight against one another with some fights favoring other creatures. And js because a cera for example has a easier time in a fight against a dilo it doesn't mean its unbalanced! Cera simply has more favor in the fight but it needs to cause dilo is faster than it so the cera has to fight. And as i js said dilo is faster, so if the fight is too much for it. The dilo can runaway! And none of this is factoring in the terrain or environment creatures can use to help in there escape or in there fights! So yes the game is mostly balanced (Yes ik some mutations and omnis pounce to pin does break the balanced butttt... thats why i said mostly balanced i didn't say it was completely balanced >:/)

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

I totally agree. the only thing which still comes to part are the other factors. like, I also think carno and teno are well balanced. but, if there are 5 carnos, then you can't run away and will die. but also, if there is a rock and your teno is down on health, then you can escape on that rock. both situations destroy the equal stats they normally have. so, there will always be unbalanced situations. which I even appreciate. otherwise the game would become boring as soon as you reach a certain skill level

@No_name8374 13 дней назад

@@da.mombie well that's the thing tho? Teno can jump to a higher spot which in this case is more than fair! its actually the only reason why i didn't bother mentioning this point cause teno does have that option! its definitely still stacked against the solo tenos odds but the teno does have a way to escape in this situation. Its still balanced js a more unfavorable situation for the teno xd

@@No_name8374 yes, you could say it equals it. but, there aren't rocks anywhere and so it always depends on many factors which have nothing to do with stats. that's my point. the outcome of a fight is down to so many factors. stats are just one of them and not even up that list imo.

Hello Mombie, time for me to talk about DBD again :D For me the sbmm isn't so bad, but the old one (still sbmm, NOT rbmm) where the soft cap was lower was definitely better. The thing I HATE about DBD is the community and the toxic players. Now don't missunderstand me, for me tunneling and camping are not toxic, since the players doing it are mostly the ones who want to win and that's completely fine, my problem is when either side just wants to make the other suffer such as dc-ing, bleeding out, slugging for the 4k when they don't even know where the kast survivor is. Those are much worse, then losing a fair game, where everybody tried their hardest. Another thing is solo q (I'm lucky enough to have 2-3 friends always available to play) and the lack of communication that the players have with each other (tho it got much better with the hud icons update). In DBD imo almost everything is about skill, how about you? Your video was very good btw!

@da.mombie 13 дней назад

thx ♥ yes, DBD is about skills, but also only to a certain point. because it's still one of the most unbalanced games. a 4 man swf has such a huge advantage vs 4 randoms. even if they are all at the same skill level. many maps have broken windows and even this is never fair because it depends on the random spawn points of windows too. sometimes a building is almost useless, the next time the same building becomes an infinite loop nightmare for a killer. so, the outcome of the match depends on many things beside skills as well. I mean of course, skills help and will increase your win rate a lot. but it's far away from being down to skills only

@patrikresz2706 13 дней назад

i agree 99% always do with you, you take a neutral stance not hating for the sake of it and not just always agreeing with the developers, i do think they try to balance each dino around survival but also about what dinos it would realistically fight, omni and patchy, teno and cera, for example, it seems like they try to make carnivores similar in power to herbivores they're close in weight too

in my opinion they did a pretty good job so far. you are right, there are many decisions I don't agree with. I still hate the night vision and many other things. but, I can't expect the game to be 100% like I want. that's ridiculous. after all the balance is good by now and I am sure it will be even better in the end. some people go crazy about their changes in between, but, sometimes I get the feeling the devs enjoy that and are doing some weird stats changes in between on purpose. just to make the hysteric crowd noisy if so, I would love it.

Good comment :) I would tentatively suggest that the cerato’s body buff ability is exactly what makes it a survivor against something like carno. Every playable has a way to survive, if not all the time or in every scenario - and I’m sure you will excel on cerato quickly as you’re already a skilled player across the dinosaur game world.

You make a very compelling argument that balance is based on survivability and not pvp. I will be the first to admit I struggle getting this notion in my head. I keep finding myself rationalizing balance on pvp when I shouldn't. So good job to you for stating this. ...... WITH ALL THAT SAID, to be honest, if we do accept, and we should, the notion of balance is survivability then we really can't criticize players who choose to mix pack for the very same reason of balance. I don't mix pack. But I may in the future if any of my friends pick this game up. But knowing the devs hasn't given my little dino all the tools to win all the fights I encounter then why shouldn't I team up with other dinos that augment my weaknesses and visa versa? If balance is survivability, but fun is based on winning, then one could say mix packing is inherent to the design of a game whose chief function is fun for a paying customer no?

well, surviving is winning. this game is no battle royal. it isn't about PVP until we have a winner. it's about surviving in an hostile environment. for example, I won more of my battles with dryo than with most of the other dinos. but, those wins weren't kills, it were escapes. to me it is as exciting to have a proper chase as having a proper fight. to get chased some minutes straight, get bitten in between, your blood goes down, your stam is going to become critical and yet you make it somehow to escape and survive in the end, is as thrilling as a carno vs teno battle to me. so, I don't need to able to kill the omni who is chasing me. surviving the chase is the victory for me and it also feels like such. we will have 65 dinos in the end. in addition many more mod dinos. so, there will be plenty of PVP dinos who are designed to fight each other. then there will be dinos who are designed to escape most and foremost. there will be ambush dinos who need a lot of patience. there will also be tanky dinos, who are designed to just defend themselves, because they are too slow to hunt anything. there are people out there who enjoy the very slow and almost unbreakable life of a sauropod. others enjoy the life on the edge as little dino who gets oneshot by almost everything, which can end within every second you don't pay attention. some people like to have a more skill based PVP dino to have good fights. well, right now it's carno vs teno. that's a pretty equal match. many more of those will follow. now, before you start thinking these big ones are OP and that's unfair. yes, pue was OP in legacy. way more than stego is in evrima right now. but that's ok, it's a freaking sauropod. I played pue tho and believe me, it's a very unique experience which would bore people who love to PVP. you need hours to cross the map and therefore find others. nobody trusts you and stays away from you. so yeah, you are OP, but you get almost zero action or any kind of interaction. in fact, it's a very relaxing life, but no exciting one. so, no matter if you want to PVP, get chased, have a more relaxed life or whatever, there will be dinos for you. the balance is, that these different types of players can't "annoy" each other much. like pue can't attack anyone, because it's too slow and big to get close enough. so even if it's OP, nobody has to fear it. you can easily avoid them. you can play your style (like PVP) with many others and just ignore the few people who enjoy that rather boring life.

@Chareidos 10 дней назад

Hey it is me again! And I came back to say that I had enough with this game. Yea I know it is Alpha, yada yada yada... But my complains are very valid and has NOTHING to do with any kind of "balance", "alpha state" or whatever. I am on my final line here! I am a Ptera main... and I have ENOUGH! I am dead serious about that! I want either my flyer OR my money back out of principal! I had over 1000 hours... and I suffered a lot during it's earliest stages. I was defending them, OVER and OVER! Remember the time there was only "progressive mode"? The design decision regarding the stamina system and how it has impacted Ptera has NOTHING to do with the game being alpha, it being balanced, realistic or immersive or whatnot! It is a dumb, arbitrary and completely senseless decision of game design, PUNISHING the player that chose the ONLY FLYER to enjoy actual FREEDOM!!! And I think it is about time, that this is being a topic to be expressed ALL OVER the place! Whenever I was fed up with any decision the Devs made or saddened by the world.. I could go back and fly and RELAX, forget about the misery that this world is, enjoy the landscape and its GOOD WEATHER! It REALLY HELPED ME going through BAD TIMES! But since these questionable Design decision I am left with a depressing state of the game! I am, because of RL problems, at a state where I REALLY NEED THAT! And it is still after over half a year still taken away from me! At this very moment... I am done!

well, first of all I get your frustration and as you are a nice mate who often wrote good comments, I will try to be as nice as possible while I have to explain you the following... it's alpha. I'm really sry mate, but, you being impatient or just playing the dino who is actually pretty broken or tough to enjoy is very much your problem and nothing the devs should worry about. they have to keep an eye on the bigger picture. you have to understand that alpha doesn't mean your (mine or anybody else's) gaming experience has any kind of priority. because stats of a single dino are nothing but meaningless in terms of development. but, they already said that ptera will get some love. so, they do even care. but, this could be in the next, the following or 4 updates down the line. because it has no priority at all. all that matters is development. that's what alpha is about. whatever you like it or not. an alpha isn't designed to be played 24/7, 365 days a years. have a break. play something else and in a few months, you can come back and try ptera again. if you don't like it, have another break. that's how you should handle alpha games. that's how I handled every alpha game. the only reason why I haven't a break of the isle now, are me vids. well, you payed 20 bucks and played 1.000 hours, so, why should they pay your money back? srsly sorry again, but you really should read what alpha means before you buy such a game. they could stop and turn all servers down tomorrow and you would have NO right to get money back. not at all. even less if it is just because you don't like the game. because others enjoy ptera the way it is. they even like it more as it is more challenging. btw, a nice mate of our community has some good tutorials for ptera, incl. stam management. you might have a look at his videos www.youtube.com/@soulfullcreations7308 I'm really sorry that you have a bad time and would need it. but, that doesn't make the game suddenly perfect. it is still a very long way to go. a very long way. so, I really recommend you to have a break, play something else and come back in a few months or even years. I didn't play star citizen for 5 years and was amazed by the progress. everyone who played it for the last 5 years is annoyed by the slow progress tho. do you see the pattern? you really have to relax more about alpha games or just don't buy them and wait for the ready game ♥

@@Chareidos kein ding. es tut mir echt leid dass du gerade eine schwere zeit durchmachst. ich hoffe das ändert sich bald wieder 🤗 das gute ist ja, die devs haben eh schon gesagt dass ptera liebe braucht und bekommen wird. du musst halt nur etwas geduldig sein, was natürlich in so einer phase noch schwerer ist. ich kann dir nur empfehlen ein anderes spiel zu spielen. mach ne pause von the isle. zumindest bis zum update wo ptera wieder bessere stats bekommt.
