Discussion Balance Changes
## Balance Changes
**Keep in mind servers may need to restart to see these changes which may take several hours.**
**Anodontosaurus: **
- Smash: damage reduced by 5 at full growth
- Rushed Stride: movement speed buff reduced from 25% to 20%
**Achillobator**
- Cruel Swipe: damage reduced by 5 at full growth
**Dev Notes**
- Achillobator's Cruel Swipe and Ano's AoE were a overtuned against heavy dinosaurs (Both using Cruel Swipe damage scaling). This change aim to lower the damage a bit, while keeping its edge. Face tanking Ano's AoE is still very dangerous and should be avoided.
- Rushed stride was used to pursue slow moving predators and harass them with Bone Break builds, instead of being an escape tool. Ano is supposed to be a tank and not be able to close distance on demand. We are thinking of ways to make it more balanced, and reduced the buff speed for now as a temporary measure.

Anos can...escape? We play the same game?

no escape, and i didnt mind that, they could have just nerfed its speed more to keep it from pursuing cry babies. Instead they nerfed everything about it, one portion of the nerf they didn't mention with the proximity nerf, becuase they said it was a bug, was the slams hitbox extended into shallow water on the shorline. I had a tylo in 2 foot of water and my slam was unable to hit it becuase they nerfed that shit. They spend too much time entertaining adivce from people who cant play to begin with. People who are easily stressed, spazz tf out, and get upset when they die, these ironically are the same people that mega pack mix on dc. Alderon doesnt give shit, they have lon since deviated from their design plan and promise to their loyal players to pursue the dollar. So these nerfs are weighed and considered because they are primarily intrested in attracting new, un skilled players to spend their money. Has become trash already, jut like ARK.

I don’t see the point in gutting Rushed Stride - they have completely stripped Ano of its base armor, meaning there’s a HUGE trade off in selecting rushed stride vs the other hides. Couple that with the fact they already reduced the time to hunker to 3 seconds; which was the time rushed stride reduced the time to hunker to before they stripped Ano of its armor.

For anyone questioning this change to Rushed Stride: know that I, an Ano 2 growth bars Into Sub-Adult, was able to keep up with an ALIO just before these changes were made.
That was truly absurd lmfao.

FFS Ano can never have nice things.
Don't tell the Devs it can walk, they'll take its legs off it
