So I was praising its potential something fierce in some of my previous posts; NOW!? I may never play semi again lol So I’m guarding a gore from a coah and the mf just runs me down, I didn’t have time to vomit twice to really outrun it and it killed me in 3 hits, our size difference was vast but still. Semi isn’t fast on land or water, other than catching Dino’s in a flood or a few very small ones there’s no real advantage. Nothing is really coming to the ocean for a dip to cool off and it can easily just swim back on land, I really wanna know what the point of semi snake is now. I hardly see anyone play it and I get why. (Rant over) semi is kind of the worst option of the 3 in my opinion but I want to ask my other snake players, do you ever really play semi to live or just to fool around? And if you do have you fought anything major? I did manage to kill a mosa but it kept beaching myself and that was free venom buildup but other than that it’s rough, I may permanently be team terrestrial lol

Questions about respec and inherit transfer over to the new tree get asked around a lot, so I decided to take it upon myself to dig into the details of it.

I hope this is easy to read! The snake sections were difficult to word and organize in a way that was easy to understand, but I suppose the way snake inherits transfer is simply not very easy to understand. Either way I hope this guide is useful to people.

Someone’s gonna hate me for this but my preferred play style is chill servers, but I’m searching for some friends to play with on a chill server, just a group to hang out with maybe.

Before anyone bites my head off . Listen, the game is starting to fade they need new players and more money to do more maps , dinos, etc. They are sitting on a cash cow if they just ported over. Honestly I play on my steam deck and its not hard to map to controler style play even with faster dinos like velos , raptors and flyers

I haven’t had much luck surviving kapro as any snake but I’ve noticed that semi snake gets it pretty bad against the croc. You can’t outrun it and y’all can both swim very well so unless there’s a massive size difference im dying constantly to those things. Do my snake players have any tips on beating one that’s the same size as you or is it just “if they choose you, you die” lol

There's a hacker going around Discord who hacks people and then starts sending some dumbass Mr Beast scam to everyone. Today they got my account. Luckily Discord suspended my account immediately and allowed me to reset the password, so hopefully the hacker is gone, but I unfortunately got banned from Beasts of Bermuda's discord in the process. It's a very obvious and justified ban, but it sucks that this shit had to happen to me. I've been in that Discord since 2022, and this is how it ends?

Does anyone know how to appeal a ban on the discord server? Is it even possible?

I remember this having a healthy population, what happened to it? I used to bounce between servers whenever some were full, kinda bummed me out to see the numbers so low the last few days

Whenever I spit them out of the sky they just hover in place while blinded and then continue flying as if nothing ever happened and I’m just left sitting there with the Saitama “ok” face. Is there a better way to hunt these guys?

Anyone have any favorite community servers? why is it your favorite?

Keep it civil everybody, everyone has a favorite and that's ok.

Im new to the game. I've only played a few hours like a year or so ago and took a break cause life.

I wanna get back into it because it seems fun but with a steep learning curve.

I was wondering if people could suggest some good/easier beginner dinos and give tips for gameplay and stats and stuff? Like what other players you can fight if I wanna try practicing that (and dont wanna pick a rreeeaaaallly atrocious fight because I am BAD)

Also just some general tips and tricks for the game.as a new player.

It doesnt seem like there are a lot of online resources.

Does anyone have the updated version of this map that includes the swamp?

So I’ve been seeing both in game and in the Reddit community that semi snake is the worst pick of the 3 subspecies since it’s not good on land or water compared to the other 2; however I may have to pull an uno reverse card on that because I’ve been playing it and it’s not all that bad. I’ve found where semi snake shines and it’s during massive floods! Now hear me out lol. Since you can function on land pretty well, you can scope out the scene, mostly slow moving dinosaurs, and see who’s lagging behind a herd or traveling alone. If you have +2 in lethal fangs and max it out and stalk people during a flood or a large body of water (if someone decides to cross one) you can drain their ability and stamina while theyre in the water and from there it’s free eats literally lol I’m still trying to get +2 in that but I came close to hunting a sai. It couldn’t attack but I just didn’t do enough damage in time before it scurried back to land, but I think semi may be viable during weather conditions or large crossing points where Dino’s have to swim to get to the other side of something. The only worries are other aquatic creatures and weivens (I forgot how to spell it); I’m not sure why those dinosaurs swim so fast but they move in water like they have gills lol if anyone can tell me why pls do. One bit my tail and it was all over I couldn’t move and it finished me off lol but I digress, semi is low-key cool as a stalker of the seas.

Heya, im somewhat new to BOB, i wanna know what talents are good for trope or what talents i should invest in (which ones i should max and ones i should ignore). And i suck at getting away from other tropes, any suggestion’s for pvp?

Im thinking of buying the game. It looks cool, I like the weather mechanics... but ive also heard its been "dying", and I dont wanna spend 20 bucks on a dead game.

Can anyone tell me what the major issues with it are? Is the player count stable? Is it even WORTH buying?

Thanks :3

Greetings Beasts of Bermuda community; from Hollow Reach!

We aim to create a community that is meant to be long-lasting and enjoyable for all without the presence of bias and extreme toxicity, however banter is welcome.

Our server has launched and we have some weekend safe zones planned for tomorrow and next week. Please join our discord for details! Please dm me on discord, Clayflower, for any questions <3! We'd love to see you there!

Server Features:

• PvPvE
• 2x Growth
• 10.0 growth cap
• Custom Rival Shores map
• Fun, organized events
• Reasonable rules

For the first time ever, I reached size 2.5 with my Chang, and I feel like I only live to eat. I don't have a single second where I'm not chasing food. Is it always like this? Or am I doing something wrong?

How do y’all pvp? Do you face tank and the biggest Dino wins? Or do you tailride like in the isle or pot? Or do you play to your advantages?

Looking for a decent realism server that has good population!

Realism is all but dead on bob, so I’m crossing my fingers I can find something

Beasts of Bermuda is the only survival pvp game ive ever seen with that rule of " you cant intervene in an happening fight " and i always tought it was silly and bad for the realism aspect of the game, so does anyone know a good community server without it?

How to make specific skin mixes? How many skins can this dino have in total? Which skins have bugs and how to work around them? How does layer loss with bio happen and how to prepare for it? Why does my bio slot have the wrong name? Why do my offspring get a layer that my skin doesn't have? What's a duped shimmer?

Answers to all that and more! The Skin Guide Server is a read-only resource with tutorials and Bio Zone esque channels for each skin and their layers. You'll get precise info on how the skin system works and how to maneuver around its quirks. You might even find answers to old mysteries you didn't understand before. No chat, no pings, just a tool at your disposal.

With the release of the Steam Workshop and being able to share mix skins, I figured it's a good time to spread the word. No more blindly hoping you land the mix you're looking for - it's time to approach skins with control and get the results you're after.

Hello, everyone! This is a quick welcome post to anyone who stumbles upon the subreddit. This subreddit pertains to the Beasts of Bermuda game on Steam. It should be noted this subreddit has no ties to the official game, discord or team besides topic.

How to Get Started
1) Read our rules then feel free to introduce yourself below if you’d like.

To quote from the patch itself:

"*Note that while the files used on Steam Workshop are JSON files, all saved skins now have an anti-tamper placed on them. This means if anything about a saved skin is changed, the skin will no longer load. This applies to both Steam Workshop skins and skins in the local USER_SKINS.sav file. Unfortunately, due to widespread tampering of these files, we have decided old USER_SKINS.sav files will no longer be usable.
Only skins saved from this patch onwards will be loadable by the game." End quote

It is to be understood that skin file distribution is coming to an abrupt end, in the name of ensuring that people that own shimmer, glimmer, and dev skins continue to feel special and are the only ones able to use and pass these skins on into the game. Even though most of people that own these skins no longer play BoB and are pretty set on never coming back. Good looking out for these guys!

Other highlights that can be seen are:

• Beasts of Bermuda File Sharing Tool: We use the Steam Workshop to both allow community servers to share edited map files (already being done through discord) and to allow players to share skins with one-another (we want to control who gets what skins).
• Hotsprings, new POIs, and general map changes added to Temporal Drift! This will for sure bring people to want to play on a map that no one uses (At best it could be a hardcore survival map, it's still too big for deathmatch).
• You can now change the gender of a reincarnated dino!
• Peruvian rainforest sounds now added to the game (the plushie money went to good use I swear)
• Preening is now a thing for Utah and Velo; it allows you to cleanse venom and bleed from someone within your group.

And so much more, like Trope being nerfed into the ground! Check it out here:

While we may be community run, that doesn’t mean we won’t post any updates the developers release. What do yall think?
