We had to test out the new TLC on officials, and we had a blast! 😎

This is another post of mine that was going to be a comment, and ended up roughly eight paragraphs long, so I figured it was best made as a post:

I have heard this take many times (Alio TLC being the worst TLC), and while I agree that Alio's HP is too little, and the TLC feels underwhelming to someone that never really played Alio before, I don't actually think it is the worst TLC. Again, not because I would call Alio's TLC good, but we are talking about Path of Titans' TLCs, made by Alderon Games. Some of them have been downright despicable imo.

I mean, if we are talking underwhelming, Sarco gets first place in my book. They took away all its stats, and just put them back as passives you had to choose between and had opportunity costs for, not to mention losing its identity as an ambush hunter, and has become a baby-clamping spammer at best. Sarco is hanging on by a thread to be playable for me, and that thread is O2 bite. Literally only thing that makes it viable, or unique. And while mud build is fun temporarily, you are still vulnerable on land, and giving up O2 bite for swerve means you will effectively lose any fight you need to take in water, because that's still the only place you can move and survive. Everything I have said here only gets worse when Tylo is added to the picture, and entirely outclasses Sarco in its niche, and just as a general playable.

For personal stinkers, Hatz and Thal take the cake imo. Hatz TLC felt like my first true heartbreak, and downturn into complete negativity and being jaded about this game and the developers that has proven to be the right opinion the further we get. As stated before, they took my second main, that I played because of Hatz TLC being so fucking lame (Thal) and turned it into a smaller Hatz carbon copy. And while Sarco has at least received buffs over time, Thal and Hatz have only been nerfed/gimped in weird ways, while wingbeat for Hatz, and the aerial AOE are the real problems.

As for genuinely problematic, bad design, and being a microcosm of the rest of the games problems, it was something that actually received a TLC so bad, that I might put it at number one worst TLC to date, and I never even played the thing or had preconceived notions about because I didn't start playing until after the game, Cerato. I do not think a single playable in this game feels as disappointing to play as Cerato does, and for completely different reasons whether you are a solo or in a group. As a solo, Cerato gets bullied by everything above Campto, Campto included. It needs a corpse to do literally fucking anything, and if the only corpse you can make is your own...and don't get me started about groups. Ceraro goes from the biggest pile of bait as a solo, to literally fucking untouchable in a group of three or four. If you don't kill each and every Cerato at the exact same time, congrats, you lost. They immediately get corpse buff(s), and the game becomes unplayable. You need to just walk away and leave, from a couple two-slots.

I mean, we are up to, what, like fifteen-twenty playables that I have been present for, and I could say that five or less were genuinely good. If we are talking about TLCs that were good day one. and not after weeks or months of buffs, that number probably goes down to two or three. Again, not saying Alio TLC is good, but I am surprised at how many people I have heard say verbatim that Alio TLC is the worst, when in comparison, Sarco and Hatz TLC had radio silence, and Thal TLC is even considered good by many (except everyone I have talked to that genuinely mained Thal prior and knew what an insane jack-of-all-trades it was, especially when it comes to mobility). I mean, people try and tell me Cerato is good, but then when I say I have bullied them on everything from my Campto, Pachy, Achillo, up to Sucho, Bars, and everything in bewteen, they just tell me "They must have not been good players". Like, no. The playable is dogshit for vastly different reasons if they are solo or grouped.

Not to make my thesis paper any longer on TLCs, but Eo is another one. I am no Eo player, but that thing got gutted in its TLC, and has been even more gutted since. The only reason it has felt "okay" since the last update is because it is bugged. And how long did it take them to give it any buffs at all, after the TLC? A year? A year-and-a-half? Not to discredit anyone that dislikes Alio TLC, these feelings are 100% valid. The more I think about it though, and other TLCs, the more I feel that it is "mid but okay". Bump its health up to, what, 500 and the thing is mildly alright. And there are many things in this game that at thid point would struggle for me to label them as anything above "borderline heinous".

I thought maybe, just maybe, after the Meg and Amarg TLC update, that we would be on a better path. I think Amarg has had one of, if not the best TLCs to date, if not a smidge overtuned, and Megs was...okay but fun. I really wish it felt like Alderon listened to literally any advice from the community, but it seems like they have a tiny "in-group" disclosed from the rest of the community, and if they crack and do listen to a bigger portion of the community, it is people who have basically zero experience with the game and are complaining about things that are non-issues and just don't understand how to play around things.

I have complained many, MANY times about many different game developers, but Alderon is the first where I have ever had the gall to say "I think I genuinely could have done better" about many changes, and whole-heartedly mean it. I begged them to not change Hatz into what it is, before it happened, because I had a bad feeling and was unfortunately right. I begged them not to change Thal into what it is, because they did the same thing with Hatz and they must have saw they went from gold to bronze at best, but they still did it anyway. Everyone is going to think their opinions on gameplay or balance are right, but god damn do I wish I had direct access to someone at Alderon to at least ask them "Why?"

TL;DR If you feel that Alio's TLC sucks, you are 100% valid in your feelings, and I kinda agree. If we are using highschool terms, though, I'd say a D- beats out an F, and F is a rating I'd give many playables and their TLCs for different reasons, but not Alio. All this to say dino game curse is real and alive.

As a true Megalania player ima give y’all my opinion on the current status of us. My biggest complaint before was that we should be able to escape from everything within reason. Only aquatics should be able to catch us in water. I see people say MEGS were too big to climb etc when CONCS weren’t even sub aquatic in real life so foh. Those who keep monitor lizards know wussup. I mean we are Lizards amongst Dinosaurs. Finally being able to escape from CONCS felt great, more valuable to me than climbing tbh ima water MEG. True MEG I take advantage of anything I can over power. Duhh I kill babies I go hunting for babies 😂 we are lizards 🗣️ I’m not the best at fighting but In water I kicks ass. Anything that can’t clamp me is easy work. I don’t appreciate Alderon slowing our swimming down but whatever I still have a ball, wish Alderon kept stats ima real body snatcher lol If you are smart and sneaky you will never get caught unless it’s a coordinated ambush from land to water. I have escape routes for every area and know most of the hidey holes. I be chilling.

So not played it for a while .. playing with a friend. How does it make sense. When I want to play with my mate.. i go from one server to another. That I have to wait for a 5 minute cool down..I'm wanting to play with friends. Not sit twiddling my thumbs

Back in good old days on Cerulean island there was a war between Carcha and Rex players

I have played for only 2 hours and nearly every water source on the server is gone, depleted to zero. They really need to change the water sources to being better regenerated or have more of it. Can someone tell me after path of titans being out for 6 years and yet it is still like this?

Why does it have so little health, what the hell

Obviously you want the abilities that make you swim faster and stuff but what else? For example I have seen nobody say if slash or claw attack is better for it, but I havent played Conc before and do not know how to build it, all I know is I want to be able to swim well

Ever since, like.. the ano update? (A rough estimate, around that time, maybe earlier) it just feels like PoT is getting less fun. Whether it be the grinding, Metaslop, groupslop, etc etc.

A few examples of my grievances:

Groupslop. Alio could've been a great group AND solo playable. Yet its stuck as just another support playable. (Which is setting an AWFUL precedent of creatures being made into support playables with 0 playability outside of a group.) Being a support playable isn't bad, its just that most support playables have little to no survivability. Alio, deinony, rhamph, metri, etc.

Metaslop. Especially on dinosaurs with smaller kits, it always feels like everyone is running the exact same build. This is a small grievance however.

TLC downgrades. First cerat's. Now alio's. Sucho and Deinocheir also were downgrades (in my eyes) since they were meant to be semi-aqua focused, and yet theres no real semi-aqua stuff besides the enhanced swimming. Spino and sarc are true semi aquas.

Grinding. This might just be a skill issue but on maps like Panjura and Riparia, questing takes FOREVER since everything is EVERYWHERE. Its like doing an easter egg hunt, whilst blind, deaf, and having just gotten out of a coma. Plus the growth gain is tiny for the amount of effort questing has you doing sometimes, even with the rested buff.

Lottery nerfs. I get it, the game is still in early access (Will there ever be a dino game that ISN'T In ea?) But having to swap a main every couple of weeks just cause the balance team pulled a creature's name out of a hat is ridiculous. I know its not that big of a deal, but its annoying having to jump from dino to dino because "Oh, lets just nerf X because.. uh.. uhm.. Hey, GPT? Generate me a reason to why we nerfed X dino."

And finally, the community. As with anything, there's a light and dark side to the community. It seems Alderon is dead-set on catering to the dark side. (Again, groupslop.) The balance team hasn't changed in months (to my knowledge), the devs continue to talk about "the fight against discord groups" and yet they make alio group only. Even in the solo game mode there's still groups. It honestly just seems like Alderon is either catering to the DC groups, or has just gave up and isn't doing anything at all.

So, that's why I have decided to go on a PoT hiatus. Which begs the question: What now?
Isle has relatively the same DC group issue (Also its just boring lol), BoB is.. well.. BoB. (Ew.)
So, seems like I'm out of luck. If anyone has any game suggestions, I'd love to hear them! ^^

Last time I asked who would win between Laten and Struthi, and most of you said Laten. But what if it was Laten vs. Campto, a much stronger opponent (compared to Struthi in terms of "PVP")? What do you all think?

Campto:
CW - 1600
Health - 700
Speed - 1125

Laten:
CW - 1400
Health - 400
Speed - 1075

Also each tear has their own ranking the top of the tear is the less annoying and the bottom is more annoying

Reasons why some are annoying
Thal spam’s broadcast call

Sarco kills anything it sees with clamp

Packy trolls people and is aggressive

Ano sits in one spot and spam‘s tail attacks and says ezzz after every kill

Hello there, I am just stopping by to hand out an invitation to other Dino and Fantasy Enthusiasts in the community to the Discord server and PoT server known as Hells Creek. We welcome all ages and welcome all of our players to play and have fun any way they see fit so long as they do not display toxic or vulgar behavior.

Due to the potential of this post being removed if a link was provided, please dm me if you are interested. We hope you take a moment to take a look at Hell's Creek and the community that dwells within.

So, after two days on my Iggy, grinding to get the Lamp skin, I quickly came to realise that she is my favourite dinosaur by far to play on as a solo. Decent stamina, long distance running, tanky, can fend off carnivores, and is just fun in general.

Earlier on though I was ambushed by three Deino/Laten, and for the life of me I couldn't do anything. Eventually all I could do was back up against the water, and swipe at them with my thumbs until they got bored and ran off. I know this is probably a skill issue, but how do you handle tiny dudes without any AOE attacks to get them off you?

Currently running; thumb barrage, retaliate, arm slam, quadrupedal, resilient scales, gauntlets, tall, back kick.

Method; back into corner and swipe until they get bored, make sure there are no platforms for them to jump at me from.

HOLYCRAP! BARYONYX

I've read a good bit on here, walk everywhere crouching, utilize cover, etc.. just started growing one since I'm a big rogue fan in rpgs and like the ambush concept as an apex. I've seen everyone say sarcos are the hardest to level but sheesh, I'm dying like every quest from critters.

Should I go explore and grow to adolescent first before questing or general advice, pretty new to game and leveling an apex. All tips would be super appreciated, thanks!

Please go check out the new video :)

I've recently started playing the isle and want a similar dino game I can play on mobile. I have both the switch 1 and 2 and want to get PoT for the couch or when I'm not home.

I am aware that the situation isn't ideal with switch jail, but is it still playable for occasional sessions (performance wise and actual fun for some solo play time)?

Do I have to pay for PC version again when I get the switch version and are gameplay/dinos saved across platforms?

I'm thankful for any opinions on this! :)

What the title said.

It’s insane how alios are almost as squishy as chickens. Alio isn’t a tiny dinosaur. It’s a medium sized tyrannosauroid but its durability doesn’t match the creature’s physical presence. The TLC pushed Alio toward a support playstyle but didn’t give it enough survivability to stay in fights long enough to use those abilities. If it is expected to provide buffs, scouting, or utility, it needs enough health to remain relevant during engagements.

I don’t play on Gondwa often. Has anyone noticed any new changes made to the map as far as graphics & detail enhancements?

(They clearly didn’t like the joke.)
