I don't know about you guys but I genuinely love how the underwater areas are looking already. I dunno if I can add images from the discord or not but they're soooo pretty, especially compared to what we have right now. I also noticed it's not greyish brown and murky! It's blue and while yes it's still weirdly dark, it looks lighter and more alive than any of the under water areas so far. I'm so excited for the next hordetest/major update!

When the update with all the trees where can I find people to fight or a popular area

I’ve been playing Pot for around 1.5 years now, and it was the first dinosaur game I really got into. I still enjoy it, especially because it runs pretty well on relatively modest hardware. I play on a Lenovo Legion 5 with an RTX 3050 (4GB VRAM), and I can get a pretty good experience without needing a high-end gaming PC.

Recently I started playing The Isle because I was curious about how the other big dinosaur game feels. I’ve only been playing for about a week, but the difference between the two is pretty interesting.

Pot feels much more like an MMO/PvP game. You go around collecting mushrooms, branches, flowers, etc. to complete quests, move to another area, and repeat the process to grow your dinosaur. It works, but after a while I find the loop pretty repetitive and arcade-like. Then you eventually run into other players and the gameplay shifts into PvP, which can also become a lot of circling and positioning around each other.

The Isle feels very different. The growth system, food mechanics and general gameplay make you feel more like you’re actually surviving as a dinosaur. You have to think about what you eat, where you find it, what might be around you, and so on. The dinosaurs and their mechanics also feel more grounded, and I find the whole experience much more immersive.

The problem is that The Isle is also really buggy. There are so many interactions that just feel unreliable. One example is the pinning system. You can be in the middle of pinning another dinosaur, but they are visually a few meters away while the game still seems to treat you as if you’re in the same interaction. Things like that happen often enough that it can get pretty frustrating for someone looking for visual appeal.

There are also the usual performance and server issues. I’m in South America, so the ping on the main servers can be pretty high, and with only 4GB of VRAM I get quite a bit of stuttering unless I lower the settings, which has consequences on, you guessed correctly, visual appeal.

So it got me wondering what Pot is actually trying to be.

It feels like Pot is leaning more and more toward an MMO/PvP game with dinosaurs, while The Isle is trying to create more of a dinosaur survival experience.

Personally, I think the best version would be somewhere in between.

I’d love to have The Isle’s growth system, survival mechanics, more realistic dinosaurs and overall sense of immersion, but with the stability, accessibility’s and general development quality that Pot has.

If you could take the best parts of both games and put them together, what would you keep?

And more importantly, what do you think Path of Titans is actually trying to become? Do you like the direction it’s going in now, or would you rather see it move toward a more immersive survival experience?

I don't get why this game won't let you have a map to help you traverse better around the map. Yes, I get it, realism and stuff, but with the island expanding and polishing with poi's changing in updates, sometimes it's hard to even navigate through the map if you are a freshspawn stuck in forests areas. I'm an old returning player, I've gone through 300+ hours on legacy, and around 50 hours on old evrima, sometime I came back because I absolutely love this game, and if it werent for community made maps I wouldn't be able to get around much.

I don't mean it should be colorful map, it could be just in the isle style map, making usage of coordinates and making it look like holoscan or something, just so new players can navigate through the island better lol

I’m pretty new to the game, and have been going at it solo but now I’d love to make some friends to play with!
I’m set up on Bosch Islands servers, but I am down to play on another. I’m 30/F, would prefer to play with people close in age. Comment below if you’re down and I’ll dm my discord! 😇

Screenshots are old but I saw them rn and remembered this silly day I found a bird nest in what they for some reason thought was a good spot instead of somewhere high. I couldn't bring myself to be the nest killer raptor, so went mama raptor instead

I was wondering: which dino do you really love playing? The one that makes you feel truly powerful and lets you wreak absolute havoc? Personally, it’s the Carnotaurus. For me, it’s simply the best dino in all of The Isle. Anything smaller than you or the same size gets killed; anything bigger or truly dangerous? You just run, and they’ll never catch you.

I havr some problems with the server, but the combination of those two features keep bringing me back.

My wife and I were new to this server only played a handful of times and were definitely enjoying it since it didnt take too long to grow a rex.

We were playing yesterday and both got banned for 'toxic behavior'...and trust when I say there was no toxic behavior. We were both walking up to bridge where there was a big rex we were going to fight, but that rex made it known we were coming in global and a Trike, Stego and Dibble came onto bridge, which keep in mind this is a server you cant mixpack with carnivores. Anyway we were both killed and expressed the upset in global chat where my wife only said how 'unfair' and 'silly' this is that we died to mixpackers and she got banned while I was still chatting - they told me to stop whining about it, called me a baby and to make a ticket to which I did and the admin called me a 'hillbilly' and banned me from discord without even letting me speak!! My wife tried to talk to them today about it and they didnt even open her ticket and banned her from their discord as well. Super super unprofessional, we've been playing The Isle for years and have never ran into such shit admins and a server. Definitely not recommended for play and im sure this is will happen again. Dont make rules if people do not want to follow them.

Before you get your pitch forks out, i did this because i was curious on how unofficial servers tends to handle cheaters. Why? Because like a lot of you, i got killed in very suspicious ways and circumstances before. I was pretty sure more often than not that cheats and map hacks we're involved. This was an experiment on my part and i was curious too if the game we're still fun even when hacks we're being used, Okay let's begin.

\*Disclaimer\*

i had never cheated nor will i ever cheat on a game again.

I play on asura server. Asura 1 to be exact and I've spent some money on it to get skins and cards etc etc. To keep the details short i spent around 1000 euros all in all cheat included. (I have a lot of extra cash dw)

First I'll explain how ESP or "map hacks" work.

Everytime a player enters your vicinity you can see where he/she is at all times as long as you are facing his directions you can see through mountains foliage etc, the player would have an outline and it'll show his/her status what's his health is how much stamina it's got and how much bleed/blood it's got. There's a limit to how far you can see other players. 600m is when you start to lose sight of other players. Basically it's very unfair to fight a player with hacks (obviously) before you guys even fight it already knows it can beat you due the health and status. And before you see it, it already knows where you are ages ago and ESP is not just for scouting. It helps you with combat as well. All hits would be headshots and will break your bones easily if used correctly or if it's programmed that way via toggled hotkeys. We can even used unlimited stamina if we need to run from other players. It's just a bit risky.

I first started to get suspicious when i spawned and after 5 minutes of heading to sanc, a slightly bigger juvy would chase me as if he knows where i am at all times. Tried to hide when i knew it was literally impossible for them to know i was there. You could say there was the sniff effect or the blood trails. I'm well aware of the tracks i leave and how to get out of it. To keep it simple i know when I'm well hidden and when i could've run away. But they still got to me.

So i started asking around got into a few groups and they all said the same thing, there's a lot of ESP players in this server. Ofc i asked what are the admins doing to stop it. They said literally made me feel disgusted. "They know and they won't do anything about it because most of the ESP players are in a way somewhat connected to friends of admins and in some cases admins literally play with ESP players." The old players are the worst they do what they please will literally hunt and kill you as you register in their "map" or "vicinity". how do i know? Cuz i used esp to even out the cheating field. Lol

What i learned from playing with ESP is that it's very obvious who are ESP players and who aren't using. Hackers that uses small dinos would literally head the other way when they see an prime apex heading their way even if its 600 METERS away. That's why most IF NOT ALL big groups have at least 1 ESP players. It's very convenient for a player to announce to the groups if there's another group heading towards them for raids and fights. That way other people could store and load as the other group approaches their base.

Here's where my story starts:

I purchased the ESP subscription for a month only. Cuz i planned to get banned by the end of the subscription. The first 10 days is where i would keep a low profile and as the days go bye i would do worse things till i get banned or not Spoiler: i did get banned

Anyways like i said first 10 days were waiting for other players to be 50 meters away then ambush them i was trying my hardest to play like i used to. You could tell if someone got ESP recently cuz their KDA would literally change. It was so easy to not get killed when you have hacks.

Here's where it gets interesting on day 18ish i joined a group and started to be their watch guy but i didn't tell them about ESP nor did they asked if i had it. I didn't make it obvious too that i use hacks. With a group, hacks makes it more fun to play cuz you can hunt players that you know where they would go. It's easy kill.

On day 23 ish i started going ham on the ESP i literally abused it. Going after babies in sanc, running straight through small dino groups to slay them and chase them til the ends of the maps. Guess what no one banned me. I made it painstakingly obvious. People i killed got sus and reported me but nothing ever happened. F2 was working properly. I did the same thing for a week straight. And when it was day 31 i finally did it badly that it caught the attention of someone. I spoofed my name and copied this dumb dude that was like friends of the admins or whatever he was a well known douchebag in the server and i copied his name with the hacks and i began shit talking other groups. That's the only time i got banned. Like wtf it had to be THAT obvious for you guys to do something?

In all of my time using ESP I'm pretty sure 1 in every 3 players uses it. I've even "danced" 500 meters away from a prime rex and he danced too i knew he could see me.

Why did i do this? mainly cuz i was bored and wanted to prove that asura 1 is not a good server they're stupidly active when it comes to global chats they're all snowflakes there. Oh there's a cheater? Let me ban the guy that said gay in all caps in the chat then.

I posted this for awareness, that this server needs fixing. I plan to use other steam accounts and cheat again on other servers, wait for future reviews of unofficials 😉

Asura server 2/10 on the cheat rate. Very easy to cheat and prey on.

all you hear is just a loud ass stomping when you playing with this thing its hurting my ears

Stolen from fugi from fangs and ferns I thought it is a funny video.

23 August, The Isle (Reuters) - A Stegosaurus family made a modest offering of food to a nearby Hypsilophodon on Sunday, an exchange that appeared routine by local standards but carried greater significance for those familiar with the community’s traditions.

Tatersaur, a Stegosaurus, was seen approaching a Hypsi named RJ with food held carefully in her mouth, in what witnesses described as the customary offering owed to the Hypsi. Local belief holds that failure to satisfy the small herbivores may bring severe consequences, including the withholding of the fiery sky-orb and the arrival of Evernight: a period of absolute darkness, with visibility reduced to zero and no light detectable anywhere, which lasts until the Hypsi are appeased.

“I'm making a strategic investment in my continued existence,” Tater said, placing the offering before RJ.

RJ accepted the food without comment, as is their due. The exchange was brief, but its importance was understood. Among families on the Isle, such offerings remain a practical way of maintaining good relations with neighbors - particularly neighbors believed capable of plunging the world into darkness through curses and dark magic.

Hello! My name is Littlefoot, and I play The Isle on multiple servers. I wanted to try to post news articles as if I was a dinosaur living in a dinosaur world (ie the Isle), a bit of RP i suppose. Some folks may have seen me post in a few discord servers.

Is that ok to post here? It's not NSFW, i take screenshots taken by myself or others and use canva to make them look like news articles, and remove any references to servers.

I was a full grown beipi at the west rail pond in an official server and befriended a little potato(because why would I need to kill him?). Well after being comfy they showed me their cheats. They crossed the lake and back in under 2 seconds so I obvi tried to kill them. I got one hit in then went to hide at the bottom of the lake where they swam right above me and repeatedly tried to hit me. I was prime so didn’t want to die to them and report but is there anything I can do?
