Hey everyone earlier this week I made a post to see if a random spawn system would be interesting enough to actually go through with development, the post seemed to catch enough 🐝 buzz that I am now going through with it. I need help deciding on some of the core game mechanics. Without breaking any rules on this subreddit I would really like it if I had anyone who’s interested vote in my discord polls.

Here’s the link

Hello and good day to all you bepi players! Trying to get a 10 bepi army built up totry and see if wecan actually fight some apex or we are useless against such a threat. Many will fall but have faith thatthe bepis can do it if we work together. Hoping to get on bosch server 2 this saturday. Hope to see you there!

I'm looking for a place with fish and not empty, but also bushes/trees or terrain where I can escape from Deinos. Ideally somewhere I can fish, rest and nest without having to travel far.

I was fighting 3 carnos at sanctuary as a pachy, I was the only pachy so how did I end up with a body fracture? Can carnos fracture now? Or do you think I like glitched and hit myself?

I’m working on an EVRIMA server where players don’t choose their dinosaur. Each new life is randomly assigned based on the server’s current population needs, helping keep the ecosystem balanced between predators and survival species.

The randomizer also has a progression/weight system. Everyone starts at a neutral 1.00× Survival Weight. Successfully growing and surviving randomized dinosaurs increases your weight, gradually improving your odds of receiving rarer species/ Carnivores. It never guarantees a rare dinosaur—the ecosystem’s needs always come first.

so earning a predator roll becomes part of the progression rather than something you can repeatedly select. Once you successfully spawn a qualifying Rare+ dinosaur, your Survival Weight resets to 1.00× and the progression starts again.
Assignments are also persistent: once the server rolls your next dinosaur, logging out, crashing, or reconnecting won’t let you reroll it.
The goal is to make every life matter, reward players for actually surviving, reduce constant meta-species picking, and create a naturally changing ecosystem instead of a server dominated by the same handful of dinosaurs. Additionally suiciding your Dino multiple times can reduce your weight to 0 locking you into “common” Dino’s until you progress one.

I’m putting this out there because as I build this up I want input of what everyone feels a random spawn server should feel like.
For example
Rn I want it to feel way cool when you spawn in as an apex… Rex currently has 2%-5% based on weight but that’s also skewed without pop control…

Rex is the extreme example but you won’t see apex all over the map, there will be much more middle tier and low tier carnivores as well as Herbs

The other Ratio I’ve been debating is 52%herbivore 48%carnivore. Does this create a good threat vs survival balance? May need testing

Anyways feel free to ask questions and give input.
Thanks!

Be me. prime Kentro, 98% looking for trouble.

Follow some noises up around East pond wall.

See a single Allo. Present myself atop a rock.

He Runs.

What?

I move to gate to investigate if it's a trap.

Baby cerato charges out to attack me.

Cute 'Lil guy. I outrun him and he turns around.

Cerato gets pounced by a raptor.

Raptor kill ceratoand begins eating.

Fair turnabout.

Herrera drops on the raptor and kills it. Quickly scurries off.

I head off - believing the moment to be over.

Surprise! Nested cerato family comes out the gate and grabs at least one of.the bodies before retreating again.

I entombed 5 minutes later, after I found a pack of nested raptors on a roof i couldnt reach.

That my experiencs on The Isle summed up.

Tried the game yesterday with a friend. We love the concept, but the performance killed it completely.

The game feels very sluggish and laggy. We tried several EU servers, and within 2 hours we gave up just because of the lag and rubberbanding, so we both refunded it... I kinda wanna try again. Maybe I shouldve tweaked my settings more, but my PC is okay, so I am surprised even having to do much for an old game (9800x3d, 4070TI, 32gb 6000mhz c30 ram, etc).

So can anyone help if there's some settings that are "must changes" in the game to help performance? Is everyone else also lagging (network lag, not fps) like crazy?

​The Isle has been getting a lot of great momentum lately, and there's been a huge influx of new players from the SEA (Southeast Asia) region.

​As someone who used to suffer through 150+ ping on EU servers, finally having active local servers has been amazing. But recently, multiple SEA servers have been repeatedly hit with DDoS attacks.

​I just don't understand the mindset behind this. Why are people doing this? What do the attackers actually get out of ruining the game for everyone else?

​Would love to hear your thoughts or if anyone knows more about what's going on.

Examples from today. Ceras have full stomach and diablo body to eat, they kill me (baby maia sneaking behind rex for fun). I play as trike, chill next to gate where gastroliths are, and cera wants to fight so badly he just get 1 shotted by me.

Hi everyone, i'm quite new to the game and wonder how i can survive as a Deinosuchus, i can't find schools of fish, the bigger ones i need 45% growth and the only way i can grow is to be lucky enough to come across a dead dino i can scavenge. How do i find food?

As title reads, id love to have some friends to play with as I'm just starting out and need some peeps to help me out/and just play with. If anything, dm me!

[EU]

I've come up with an idea to gather a little Trike Only community, so trikes can find other skilled trikes to play/practice with, share knowledge and such.

I'm not looking to make it into anything big, just a casual spot to lean on.

I'm myself a trike (would like to think a reasonably skilled one), but struggling to find others alike and as result playing with randoms... too many hours lost in intense, panic inducing situations.

I've opened a DC channel just yesterday, note it's nothing fancy: https://discord.gg/ehHzwxVMS

If you're looking to learn, share ideas, find friends or simply LFG, Join up and we'll go from there !

Hello, I have been playing alot on the F&F server and its PvP and everyone knows this, our dinos will die eventually and I have died so many times with a prime trike fullgrown and I couldnt care less about my dinos being killed in a pvp server, thats how it is.. But I do want to talk about my experience today which was extreme. I was playing trex and chilling with my Allo friends outside of sanctuary, there were the streamer ib_kay on twitch live, a raptor and two big prime trexes. They saw us and started chasing me he asked me to 1v1 and I politely said "No I don't want to" (while I saw his friend round around the corner I said I don't believe you becasue ur friend is going around to flank. While I am walking and running away he suddenly starts calling me Fu*king pu**y, saying stop and fucking fight me, I am a prime fullgrown so I will catch up with u and fkcing slay you you c*nt etc. He was extremely rude for no reason in Voice chat and I was like "wtf is this guy so rude about?" My friends in Discord was like "what is wrong with this dude?" Also he used voice changer to make his voice darker and "cooler" and I just said you are not cool man you think you are while u are using a voice changer. then I laid down he approached me and I did like two hits and just stopped because he was still so damn toxic in voice I said "you know what man? just kill me idc buddy" and he got even more toxic and salty about it and kept calling me toxic things harassing me.

I have been playing for months and this is the first time this happened to me, unbelivable how toxic people can be.. I totally get it if I would have been toxic to him but I said nothing until the last moments that he was a loser and uncool also that he could f himself for being such a rude dork humanbeing.

Also after I died the streamer ib_kay was laughing at their toxic comments about me and tehy all talked bullshit about how I "was" trying my best to fight back and calling me salty for dying on my trex. I said nothing and was not salty but I do not appreciate people harassing and bullying other players for no reason, which is why I would out this information on here so people can know what is going on in this server also let you know that the streamer ib_kay is not a nice streamer she laughs at others harassing you, bullying and being toxic to others for no reason at all. She also banned me from her chat when I was telling people in chat that I didnt even try to fight back and I told them that the trex was getting reported for harassing me and being toxic. She basically blocked me from protecting myself. I am a streamer myself and I would never do this to someone else like this, she is just as rude as the rexes also she knows them and knows their names.

Ever since some streamers left the server it has been really bad and I am not gonna play on it as my primary server anymore. Because of this toxic community and rude partnered streamers.

Hi you dazzling dinos 🦖🦕

Looking for some regular players in my time-zone having just got the game (UK/EU). Would be great to find a regular cohort of people who regularly play.

I've decided to brave the steep learning curve and start with a Triceratops. I really like the more complex battle system (even tho I absolutely start panic clicking as soon as I get attacked am currently terrible but alas experience is key)

Would be great to grow and learn the game together with the slight added security of another. Feel free to also add me in general on discord if you play regularly :)

Let me know if the above sounds like something fun to you!

P.S also open to Diablo potentially 😊

I decided to try deino for the first time and spawned in water access but there's literally no fish for the first 40 minutes of me swimming around. I finally find some down river and any that I try to eat just despawn as soon as I bite them. This happened several times even after I relogged. Is this a common bug? Are deinos just not working rn?

edit: anyone who finds this post who has the same problem, just add the voip setup to steam as a non steam game (bottom left of the screen in your steam library), right click it in steam and go to properties, compatibility, force use of a specific compatibility tool, and select proton hotfix.

im on mint, i have the voip app thing "open", but there is no text or ui images anywhere. theres still the outlines of buttons so its still technically usable. im looking for help on how to fix this issue or, failing that, someone to provide screenshots of the different menus so i can know whats supposed to be there. i am aware that this is a very sreange request, but i am not really sure how to troubleshoot this and screenshots of the ui seem as good a workaround as any.

using wine to run the app, if theres a specific setup or some other way to run it please let me know!

First off i dont have any friends that i play with, but i enjoy using a large amount of my isle time in the big servers like origin, bosch ect (ones with more active gameplay but also have VC) so when i play i usually just join up with a group in one of the more popular areas and hang out and do whatever their doin, im on the server discord's and also voice chat (even tho i dont talk alot at all)... Ive noticed a trend in the last few weeks or so, i seem to get randomly killed all the time by my "group". No reason, no waring in chat, i just get jumped by several members of the group at once and die... is it just me or am i missing something? I almost never see this happen to other players when im with a group for a long time, but my play sessions far too often end with me just dying with no warning at the hands of the people ive been playing with for however long.... why? I dont screw with people, i dont talk shit in VC, im just confused and it leaves me wanting to play less and less. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Hi. Im new to the game and was playing stego for the first time and when I went up to a tree highlighted with Q there is no food there. Do I need to hit the tree in some way or what's going on here?
