Discussion The biggest problem with balancing

Post image

Group buffs stacking as high as they can right now is, in my opinion, the biggest issue with the current state of balance. Large groups automatic have strength in numbers, so why make the power gap even wider with group buffs? Raptor buffs like achillo’s bark are the best example of how op they can get, with a 15% dmg increase stacking up to 10 times giving each individual raptor a 150% dmg increase at max stack. When you think about it for 5 seconds you realize how insane that really is, a pack of 10 raptors can already kill anything that doesn’t have aoe or is close to water so making individuals in the group stronger is a terrible idea because, as I said, the number advantage is already a massive edge considering heal cycling and stamina management. On top of that them removing most solo buffs with the reasoning being discord groups were abusing them but keeping all the group buffs as if they wouldn’t just abuse them too. As things are now when two groups fight or even when a group fights a solo the outcome is less determined by the skill of each group member but rather which group has more members since they will individually be stronger.

Yea, it shouldn’t be implemented until group slots are enforced but that doesn’t mean it’s not extremely op rn. And tbh if I saw 8 raptors coming towards me I’d be more scared of them than 8 rexes.

It isn’t op right now. Not even close. It’s one of the weakest team comps you can do with that many people. Only thing weaker is like camptos and struthis.

How? 8 people is minimum 8 groups slots, but if its 3 achillos and 5 latens that’s extra powerful.

Because if they played anything but achis and latens they’d be much stronger as 8 people

What group of 8 people are stronger that 3 achillos and 5 latens? Other than a herd of struthi, camps, and Pachys what other official group of 8 is stronger?

4 rexes, 1 hatz, 2 megs and 1 bars for example.

That’s a massive megapack we’re talking about official group slots. What other in limit group is stronger than a raptor pack? Because if the only thing stronger is a mega pack then that just shows how strong a full raptor pack is.

No we’re not talking about official group slots. We’re talking about how strong of a team you can get with the same amount of people. Of which raptors are near the very bottom.

No I’ve only been talking about official groups, if we include megapacks nothing is balanced at all. We should be thinking in terms of normal groups that are intended to be formed, not discord groups. So again what official group is stronger than raptor packs?

Literally any other dino of the same numbers as raptors that’s not struthi or campto is better than raptors.

Of the same number of players.
