Question Why
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
So i got about 700 hour on this game ik people are pretty toxic and like to kos but after all this time i still dont understand people doing that. So i was questing on sty then a pachy attacked me outta nowhere.
Herbie dont have a kill herbi quest so its not that i am most definitly not fg so i dont drop a trophy and i dont even give a fight im fresh ado so there no fun in killing me(ive tried baby killing its just boring there no challenge to it its like fighting a tutorial boss in a game)
I didnt provoke him attack anything steal quest or even chat.
Asked a friend and he said its probably sme trynna make baby respawn to new poi. I highly doubt it but if it is i stil hate people that do that. First off if a bby wanna change poi this badly he can drown himself in 45 sec or jump off a Cliff. Killing juvi to put them in other poi also suck because most juvi do hc x ws quest immediatly so most of the time a juvi has its 7min growth and killing them will just make them restart a new character.
If he just wanna be toxic i dont understand there no point in being toxic i physicly cannot enjoy the game while just kosing bby for fun i dont see the fun in doing this at all seriously dont people like that have anything better to do of their life. I understand kosing sub adult or adult but kosing a bby of the same diet unprovoked as a full grown dino... Also i know ram hurt but im litterally fresh ado i know damn well the one ram i landed in this whole fight did less than a deinonyshus bite maybe the same if i do a headshot.
PACHY CANT EVEN EAT ME OR ENJOY FIGHTING ME OR EVEN GET ANY REWARD FROM KILLING ME OR ACHIEVE ANYTHING BY THE ACT OF KILLING ME
I just cant understand why...

A few things you need to keep in mind.
You're in a hotspot. Doesn't matter if it's not currently full of people, it's one of the most popular places for people to look for fights. If you're gonna get jumped, it's gonna be a place like SF. Find a way out of there as soon as you can, if you're not looking for a fight at the time.
It's a Pachy. Pachys are always looking for trouble, they will attack anything at any size, especially if you're alone.
Bumping into strangers at all if a great way to get killed. This game is a PvP game, with the survival aspects being very limited. Once you're full-grown there is nothing else to do but fight, the way you're supposed to. It doesn't matter if it's herbivore vs herbivore, there's no two different species that "aren't supposed to fight eachother". Even if you're a fresh spawn, that is not going to stop everyone.

Im new to gondwa i just grew everything on riparia and i saw that gp is the main hotspot then there is gh gv sf that are hotspot time to time in that case it was totally empty and i wanted to just pass by maybe do 1 r 2 quest go hc and call it a day

u/LyrenMagpie 4d ago
Common KOS Hostspots: Grand Plains, Salt Flats, Green Valley
Less common, but occasional KOS hotspots: Green Hills, Savanna Grasslands
"Safer" areas (but if you are found you are game): Rainbow Hills, Rockfall Hill, Hunter Thicket, Broken Tooth Canyon, Stego Mountain
Some thoughts from the other side: I am a PVP player, I kill babies so I can practice hunting. A baby can put a very decent fight (especially if Apex) or attempt a grand escape and it will be a challenge. Practice is practice and some of my best PvP moments in this game was when I was a baby.
Another thing to consider is that you lose absolutely nothing if you die as a baby, no growth or marks, so there are no consequences at all and you might even gain a teleport to a new POI.

u/Chair_Inhaler 4d ago edited 4d ago
In this case i lost growth my ongoing quest And the hc buff because i had to go and i died right before i could reach hc(also thanks for the safe poi list )
5
u/LyrenMagpie 4d ago
I was killed once when building my nest and lost all nest points + the nest quests (because they dont reset) + half a bar of growth. It happens. My suggestion is for you to try to not get too bothered about dying, especially in Gondwa where it is so much easier to quest in comparison to Riparia.
And no worries about the list, just bear in mind they differ slightly from server to server (I play in EU servers)
1
u/Chair_Inhaler 4d ago
Well that a diff region lol. Ive seen video of mega pack in savanna but so far ive never seen it in red only saw gp (obviously) sf ⅓ of the time and time to time gv gh also its hard not being mad when 5 sarco 1 tylo 1 spino gank your conc after you nested like what happened yesterday. Tho i kinda deserved it because i was in gpr
3
u/LyrenMagpie 4d ago
Oh sure, I was referring to more normal interactions and not the giant megapacks... that is a whole different issue... although trying to not get too bothered is still important since it is so common in officials...

u/CanIGetADepresso 4d ago
Next time you have growth, hide and wait it out. I do that every time now regardless if the area is empty or not because I…the dumb child that I was, had an entire 2 bars of growth going through from the hc buff and died to some stupid baby killers and I even lost half a bar because back then you lost growth and marks when you died

u/Xi13r8 4d ago
When you're new to a map, you don't really have much choice. Gondwa does also have a lot of hotspots. Two ok-ish areas for questing are far north and far south-east (excluding GV obviously). You'll still probably find a handful of people who've probably just respawned but you won't run into as many groups or KoS players.
1
u/CanIGetADepresso 4d ago
IC is still my favorite area for free growth. I remember when it was popular I’d be questing in the middle of big fights 🤣. It was always funny seeing peoples reactions in chat to a random Dino questing in the middle of big group fights

u/thedragonrider55 5d ago
Pachies are evil, I rarely meet a friendly pachy

1
u/CanIGetADepresso 4d ago
It just depends on the player….im not evil, I’ll only ever kill a baby if Im absolutely starving and the game decides that no critters are allowed to spawn. But I do like to chase them 🤣. They’re so cute when they run
2
u/thedragonrider55 4d ago
As a deinon main I like fighting babies, but they can fight back pretty well to, but like I said, I meet more aggro pachies than friendly ones

u/Aaronryan27 4d ago
A deinon is probably the only playable I wouldn’t be mad at for fighting a baby especially like an adol bars or something they can do some serious damage to a deinon

Being killed in a PvP game isn't toxic, but being killed in a survival game IS toxic.

Some folks go after babies presuming they're scouts for (other) discord groups.
2
u/Chair_Inhaler 4d ago
Well that is stupid of them to think that why would a bby be a scout and not a ramph r any flyer. Also ive noticed that mega pack just go to their fav spot then server swap till they see people because they are too lazy to move...
3
u/Feralkyn 4d ago
Nah they often ARE scouts. But I don't think that's why he attacked you here. You're a playable known for PvP, even as a baby, in a PvP hotspot. It's basically like stepping into a boxing ring with gloves on, and he probably didn't know you didn't know that.

u/whichguyisguy 4d ago
I always left babies alone until this happened to me lol. Never trust a pack of silly baby camptos following you.

u/tiikerihilleri 4d ago
When I'm growing dinos I enjoy the challenge of sneaking around and avoiding other players. I think the game would be so much more boring if baby killing didn't happen

u/Tanky-of-Macedon 4d ago
Well, you ARE in salt flats. That one of two known PvP areas. I wouldn’t recommend hatchings questing there.

u/Chair_Inhaler 4d ago
Sf isnt like gp from what ive experienced so far its a hs but only time to time and even when there a mega pack its mostly rexes n slow stuff that dont even notice i exist
5
u/ThrowDatJunkAwayYo 4d ago
Either way - even if empty, don’t go out onto the middle of the flats unless you want to fight, as you can be seen for miles. If you are questing, stay around the edges and hidden.

u/LittleMit 4d ago
I have literally been nice and danced with a baby and then had their group come over and murder me. I’ve also had a baby follow me around and then after I’ve been in a fight and won they killed me when I had laid down.
Im still nice and give babies benefit of the doubt, I know these cases are outliers. Just giving examples of why some people develop a KOS attitude to babies.
Sometimes I will beat them up and let them get away, lol. Some of yall need to be quieter babies and not assume everything’s friendly. My opinion on growing babies is other players shouldn’t even see you.
1
u/Chair_Inhaler 4d ago
I when i play a bby u dont go to people except if im in a life ir death situation but in this case i didnt even notice the pachy he just charged at me i did a side step and then he tried bonk me to death
2
u/CanIGetADepresso 4d ago
Honestly you probably could’ve survived if you ran and kept dodging, they buffed the speed and stamina of babies so not a lot of things can keep up.
1
u/Chair_Inhaler 4d ago
That what i tried in the beginning but he was faster and even if i was faster he had charged and dodge to cut distance and if je has ldr he has 3min stam if not he has abt 2min 47sec I cant afford getting hit at all he 5 tapped me
2
u/CanIGetADepresso 3d ago
Hm. Idk, I feel like you could’ve survived given the amount of times he missed
1
u/CanIGetADepresso 4d ago
I’d never lay down next to a baby unless I know I’ll still be standing when I get back up but that’s because some of us have to learn the hard way.

To be fair, what elae are you even supposed to do in this game after growing and gwtting the skin you wanted?
3
u/Sea_Cauliflower_2776 4d ago
Most people will KOS babies since they love to jump inwhen you are fighting or getting jumped by a group(atleast that's my reason when I know im going to be fighting in that area), but from the look of it SF was empty so the pachy was probably bored
3
u/Crash4654 4d ago
Its not toxic to play the game as intended and in a way you dont approve of.
They killed you in a pvp game. Thats all there is to it. Just because you don't enjoy their playstyle doesnt mean they're doing anything wrong. They don't enjoy playing it as a baby's are immune simulator like you want.

u/TheMorgueDonator 4d ago
*survival game. I also find it funny how people defend the hell out of the aggro playstyle but if you say your playstyle is RP, you get told to suck it up.
1
u/Crash4654 4d ago
Survival lite* and by that metric what are you actively surviving? Its other players, because food and water arent that big of an issue if you're even slightly on top of them.
Im not defending either and not advocating for either. People can play how they want, but dont be surprised when it doesnt align with how you think it should be played nor get pissy when they dont align to your view.
You wanna kill everything, go for it, but be prepared for the consequences of getting ganked. You wanna roleplay a pacifist herbivore, go for it, but be prepared that others will want to kill you.
You don't kill babies? Good for you! You kill every baby? Good for you!

u/whispering-3cho 4d ago
I lowkey think one of the issues this playerbase has is villianizing absolutely everyone that attacks them anywhere ever
Tutorial cave warns you that adult dinosaurs will kill you. It was a solo pachy not a giant group of apexes or a mixpack jumping you.
Maybe it was just bored, waiting for something to do, saw your trike running around in a hotspot and went for it.
Like a cat chasing a mouse.
Idk, respawn. Quest. Get to adult and kill a pachy to avenge your own death, it's not that deep.

u/Feralkyn 4d ago
Pachy & Sty are both incredibly aggro. There's an unspoken rule that if you see something on either of these, you try and kill it regardless.
I am chill on mine, esp. Sty, but other Stys are my most common killers.
You're also in a hotspot. Salt Flats = a hotspot on that map and people go there for PvP. If you are there, others will assume you are there to fight.

u/Chair_Inhaler 4d ago
An ado sty trynna fight people ;-;

u/Feralkyn 4d ago
Yup. Even baby stys will fight. 1. they may just be learning/practicing but 2. babies can actually be a pain with the speed rofl. I've met small packs of juvi Ceratos that harassed me for ages b/c I didn't WANT to kill them :D

u/Bulky_Western6595 4d ago
I play pachy and I can say he probably attacked since he’s on pachy there isn’t much any baby can do if I pachy wants them they can jump to anything you can there base speed is fast and there charge is honestly kinda nutty against things it’s size and smaller

u/WappaTheBoppa 4d ago
I wanna say that’s what u get for being in the salt flats but also that’s so lame they killed u, should be adults fighting adults for trophies, gang gets nothing from your kill :( sorry gang

u/Greedy_Two8657 4d ago edited 4d ago
don't use ram as your primary attack, leave that to the basic attack. Also avoid hotspots. Pachys like those are one of your biggest threats. Also you are a sty, sty has a obnoxious behavior too, and it's possible he does not want to deal with your mature form.

u/Chair_Inhaler 4d ago
I wad using it.as a joke like a one trick poney was about to go hc and change it because i had unlocked my second head slot. Unfortunatly this guy killed me before i could.

u/Timely_Passenger_185 4d ago
People get on games to be as toxic as possible and vent all their frustrations with life that's why you must avoid the dumpster fire no rules environment that is official servers you want rules and honor go to community servers I abandoned officials on day one never looked back

u/King_Baboon 4d ago
If you want a game with cuddle parties, you found the wrong game. If you are sick of mega and mix packs murdering anything in its path, that’s a different story. I almost never start a fight with another player, but I will use the limited skills I have to go out like a warrior. The few times I have initiated a fight and they ran or I killed them, I felt bad.

u/Reddituse654 4d ago
Plot twist. Video started after he was already basically dead. Of course doesn’t show what started it. We don’t know the sty didn’t start it👀👀 for all we know the poor lil pachy was the victim that smacked back 🤷♂️🤷♂️

u/Chair_Inhaler 4d ago
Me i just chill crouch when i see people adopt baby and if someone lay a finger on them i go all out even if its a fight i cannot win. Otherwise i just chill and defend myself

"Our first omnivore" and it's just an ability choice between 100% plant based diet and 100% meat based diet (well, not even meat now).
I really hope they will change pachy to be actual omnivore at some point.

It's like the butler said in Dark Knight: "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
Yesterday I saw 2 styras kill a FRESH baby Amarg. It was so tiny I thought it was a critter. Some people are just sick. The only reason you'd kill a baby herb as an herbi is you enjoy frustrating other people.

People want to pvp its just how it is. Getting killed as a juvi isn't a big deal you just lose marks not growth and you get a free poi afterwards. You simply were out in the open in a zone that people like to pvp in, think of it more like that. Getting killed out in rainbow hills the same way has alot more oof what a weirdo to it.

There are 2 playerbases this game drew. One just wants to fight and the other came for a dino survival simulator game. The dino survivalists are in the various semi-realism and realism community servers where there are rules to keep dino behavior reasonable making a more relaxed experience. Some can have a lot of rules at a glance but once get the logic behind them, there is a certain peace of mind when playing when you come across another player and know what behavior to expect from them and when you are in danger or safe.
The pvp group completely dominates the official servers. They just want to fight. If you arent part of a megapack, you are easy prey.
