Pachy life on Gateway is literal pain | The Isle Evrima 

Pachy's fall from grace from when it was first released to now is just depressing. It wasn't meant to be the bane of all Carnos but man, I miss being able to at least escape from a group of predators after landing a good hit instead of being a walking meat bag when solo.

Your sanctuary experience validates the opinion that gateway actually encourages a more sedentary lifestyle than ever before in the games history. At least you got to adulthood

As a whole I think Gateway update is a big leap back for the game, the map looks nice but thats about all the positives of it. Sanctuaries promote afk gameplay and takes up important(fairly central) space on the map that adult dinos have to avoid, the migration zones that were supposed to "fix" hotspots obviously only created even more hotspot gameplay. You either go to the migration zones or you basically never see another player again because the rest of the map is a barren wasteland so they have no reason to go there. Similarly to Pachy's beach migration, few other people have any reason going there because its not like there are that many Pachies around that a carnivore even has a decent chance of there being one there, its a waste of time checking it when there are far better "hotspots" to look at. Which is sort of my main complaint with the new map, its larger than ever but the actual areas people play on seem to be smaller than ever. If you do not go to the "right" locations you can literally spend hours playing on a 100/100 server and not see anyone, while actively out looking for them(just not in the big hotspots). Feels like with every update to the game it is moving further and further away from the Survival/Simulation aspect and instead turning into a Battle Royale game where we have Migration Zones to follow instead of a circle and instead of taking constant damage when outside it, you simply starve to death.. or get bored to death. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I was one of your babies! You had such an exciting life/lives before we were even part of thr adventures, so cool!

So many problems that could be either solved or minimized just by fixing the darn stamina. I hate what they did to the stamina the most. It makes finding food/water, fighting, running from predators, etc. so much more of a pain now. They should’ve left it or only done minor balancing changes. I wanna explore the new big map but i feel like i can’t most the time cuz im always stressing on my stamina

I main Pachy as well, and this new update sucks. I was walking from sanctuary to the migration, got stuck within a mountain, had to go back down and around, then almost dying of starvation from having 0 food around, I made it to migration. I stayed there for almost 2 hours until another pachy showed up. We decided to explore the map. Made it to the swamp, hydrated and realized we had to find food again. We went across the map. I had almost made it to migration, with multiple stam breaks, when I started dying of hunger and thirst. I grazed and the only water around was the bridge, thats got like no way down. So boom i died. Never even got into combat, barely saw any other players, it was so BORING.

North East around the lake is the new center. Always stacked with players

hard life out therelol, love watching your videos though you've become one of my fave isle creators

amazing as always!

I really like playing pachy, i dont know the name of the place i hang out but it overlooks that dry african safari looking area. it has nice rocks to jump up onto and if you learn your pad enough you can play epic peakaboos with predators. i like to think pachys love rocky areas because its in theme with their numbskullery. nobody said it was easy. no one ever said it would be this hard. oh, take me back to the start - coldplay

They need to bring back global on every server and the old group system where you could click 'tab' and add people, it would be a lot better since you would actually be able to find your own species, and it would also make people more likely to nest since they can find the same of their species.

OMG I WAS THE BABY TENO! YOU GAVE ME A JUMP SCARE LOL!

I'm a new player, so I don't know where the best location is to spawn, so I end up spending so long trying to get to the sanctuary, that I don't need it anymore when I finally get there. And then I have to go to the migration zone, in a completely different direction. Kind of frustrating...

I definately wish I had stayed around now. Damn, welp can't turn back time.

I played the pachy for the first time this past week (working on the video editing still lol) and I managed to find some others and go to migration. I actually enjoyed the pachy more than I thought I would, but I do think it needs a little more work to make it playable when solo. I think if they just make it so it can turn like a raptor when running, it would be able to defend itself better. I think you played it really good even though the game makes it difficult. 😄I watched you play with Acronym recently on his channel! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Excited to see more of your videos in the future!

Pachy will get some love one day, dryo sure did.

having to trade hits with carno and cerato to use your primary attack feels awful, as well as the recovery time on its ram. i hope it gets some tlc soon.

tfw watching this to pass time while my pachy afk grows on full diet xd

i got murked by a megapack of pachies who had claimed a whole sanctuary to themselves, i was a juvi teno. that was painful bruh😖

Again Ive said this before but small moments like that raptor being murdered for crossing yalls path makes you feel bad, and when you consider how there isnt cross species chat in the game, its almost like witnessing an actual dinosaur being killed, not a player. Again very small but little tedious differences like these make me love the game sometimes 🤣 also W for not joining in on that mob attack lol

I have to say, I love Gateway so much more than Spiro. But that's about where it ends. The map is begging to be explored and traversed through, but with the migration zones being bugged at the moment and it being in the northeast plains for what seems like 95% of the time, exploring is punished along with the rate food and water drops currently... Pachy definitely needs a rework, and so does the way Gatework works. It's currently leaving a lot to be desired. Still loving the game though just wishing a few smaller things were a bit more polished...

Treat pachy like a goat stay near high places

its sad they removed staggering for when pachy headbutted carnos n ceras, now the carnis can just turn and keep on biting

MY FIRST CAMEO LES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Crackhead life sucks on gateway 💀😭😭 Also, *first*

One of the major flaws with pachy is now that it can't buck, a single sub omni can use all of its stamina in a pounce and put you on death bleed. And there is nearly nothing you can do about it. Pachy is pretty much required to play in groups, or else you get shredded by every omni, carno, and cera on the server over and over again. The biggest issue I've had with gateway so far is attacks not doing anything. I've had situations where I pounce a stationary carno as an omni and I just stand there doing nothing. Or charging a headslam right into a target as a pachy and the animation just cancels (and not because I was holding it too long). It's frustrating putting a lot of time into growing something and dying not because of a lack of skill, but because the game's foundation is so unstable to the point of glitchy combat being the norm. In that aspect, pot and bob are miles ahead. Personally, I like the quality of the isle. But I absolute the fragility of playables and lack of visual feedback. A single ambush from a bush is a death sentence. A carno charge from the pitch black darkness is a death sentence. Not to mention troodon, where 70% of your line of sight is grass, and 20% is the sky.

For the memes could you do dyro

I believe than Pachy's stun should come back, but with a rework. Right now, Pachys are just, big dryos with the possibility of push or break bones. I know, the stun made pachy unfair and a nightmare in the previous updates with packs of cannis around. But should come back with a rework. Pachys headbut should waste a lot of stam, in exchange of a good headbutt, and a stronger hit if pachy is running and weaker if is standing. That way, with the new stam system, a pachy would still have the option of "fight or flee", that way also prevents pachys to chase down other dinos, penalizing be super aggro. If you fight, good, you can win but you risk to waste all your stam and... end game. But if you flee, pachys still have enought stamina. Your fight with the carno, showed moments were clearly the hit conected, and still, the carno can bite. If ceras can lock vomit, and tenos can stun kick, i do not see why Pachys can't stun too.

I thought pachy was increadibly easy and low effort to grow after playing it so felt even more compelled to kos them. They are the most toxic dino on the isle IMO

lol he got jump RIP😵🤣🤣

Is it better now?

Pachy deserves it, it could literally win a 1v1 with a carno if the pachy was skilled enough.

I just bought the game only so i could play as a pachycephalosaurus just to see that it's been nerfed 😭is it bad enough to refund

Pachy is destinatid to a nerf after its op state this happens in every game

To all future Dilo players gamma works on gateway so making your night attack useless. lol you would think they would fix that.

Pa-key-se-fa-low-sor-us

Wtfdym pachy is still broken as it can still Form op mixherds and raptors and dilos are no problem , i mean its obvious this 3 Cheeseburger high lightweight is not supposed to compete with cera or carno

6 months late here but screw it I'll complain about how inept the devs are here too. "Ramming" animals have next to no ability to defend themselves from predators by, well, ramming. Headbutting and ramming is a specialized behavior for mate competition but is almost entirely useless for confronting predators, since they rely on a run up and throwing all your weight into it. Turns out, tossing yourself at the thing wanting to eat you is a poor survival strategy. Now, modern headbutters are ungulates, which just so happen to have the advantage of four legs ending in sharp hooves. While headbutting is useless for self defense, if they have to they can still kick their predators and land some pretty devastating hits, but more often than not things like ibexes or bighorn sheep just rely on getting away from the predator before they can get caught, same as every prey animal. Pachy, being bipedal, has nothing. Its tail likely wasn't a reliable weapon, being more specialized for maintaining balance, and its legs don't seem well suited to kicking and its arms are practically useless. The real pachycephalosaurs almost certainly relied entirely on flight to survive predators. But in game, just as the teno, pachy has far too little stamina. Only able to run for two minutes give or take, it has no chance to escape raptors and has to rely on speed and convenient foliage to escape cerato if it hasn't managed to break a leg. There is no escaping a carno if it sees you first. The only way to deal with a carno is to be the initiator of the fight, and then leave if it with the busted leg if it has no friends to deal with you. Pachy is stuck with teno in animals that SHOULD have stupid amounts of stamina to facilitate outlasting predators in extended chases and relying on flight over fight, but instead has been forced to fight predators they have little chance against because they have herbivore hyper asthma.

My opinion on pachy is so mixed and I hate it, because Ive always loved carnivores and as a person who could pretty much call carno the official og isle main at least in evrima, it always annoyed me seeing over-aggro pachies bodying carnos just because of stun locking, but at the same time I now wish I could’ve gotten better as a carno player and feel terrible for pachy players, a pachy without stun can only barely fight raptors and carnos are just untouchable unless teamed up on, not to mention that carno has once again gotten an over-advantageous buff to where it doesnt even have acceleration, the only buff it needed in 6.5 was a less punishing cost fod its charge, maybe 5% or 7.5% stam cost but imo 10% for a charge vs a 10% for a tenos tail slam was too much, but again, nevermind on that because carno is officially op. I also really wish they kept carno a canni, I never experienced megapacks but cannibalism probably helped deal with that and it was also just a good way to test your skills against another creature with even stats. Also going back to pachy, I would keep the stun but somehow make it just *slightly* less punishing than it was before 6.5, that would make the matchup between carno and pachy 1v1s more in the favor of both creatures(unless the carno ambushes of course, which was super annoying on spiro because you only had tiny bushes for cover) Edit: once again Ive typed a whole “comment,” more like “essay” on one of Metta’s videos 🤣

I just couldn’t with this game anymore. I refuse to play it until they decide to make survival bearable. A prime example of this is Herrera, which is such a fun animal, but STRUGGLES to survive due to most of its diet being AI, and said AI, never spawning. The stamina regeneration system also hindered this creature, and like every creature, it disabled them from supporting their hunter drain. God genuinely forbid you wish to traverse the landscapes. It actually impresses me how they manage to buff all the things that DIDNT need to be buffed and nerf all the things that NEEDED to be buffed. Pachy is unplayable, Carno is quite ridiculous now, Tenontosaurus may as well have a damn pool noodle for a tail slam, and for some reason the kick does less damage now and more bleed…????, Herrera is unsustainable more often than not, Omniraptor is the best animal in the game, Deino still is just a “press one button and win” animal, Gallimimus is just fast food, Cerato barely benefits from being a corpse bully, Ptera is no longer fun. Over the span of a few updates they managed to make pretty much every playable unfun in some capacity or another.

no manscaped sponsorship? unsubbed smh

Pachy is the clunkiest, most unpolished, least satisfying and least fun thing to play in the entire game right now. I genuinely have more fun playing Troodon than this pos useless dino. It's only made worse by the arrival of Dilo.

The way you pronounce “pachy” kind of makes me mad...
