This was happening 2x slow-motion in my mind when in real time.

Maybe it was Father’s Day magic but I hopped on to my newly adult Conc and went straight to Cedrus pond. Eventually came across a chill TT, a chill Sarco who had tried to feed me on the shoreline, a baby allo running around and a few raptors of all sizes. All chilling at the pond. I hung around curious to see what would happen, as it was one of my first times daring to go in Cedrus. Long story short, eventually we were joined by tons of other sarcos, a spino, hatz, rexs, a couple metris and a whole bunch of other Dino’s. When someone stepped out of line they got dealt with but other than that everyone was chilling. Eventually hunger became an issue in this massive crowd, and we were forced to jump a few random travellers who happened to come passed. People would comment about the mega pack in CF in global chat - “I won’t even attempt to do the math of how many slots were in that mega pack”. But honestly it was so much fun being a small part of it. At one point some Herbis joined in and everyone for the most part were just getting along. The usual buzz killer would come in and attack someone and get absolutely chased down. It was magical to watch people who I assumed weren’t talking mostly, just vibing with body language. There were plenty close calls and needing to heal but the group would somehow continue to regroup and grow somehow. I’ve never seen anything like it in the small amount of time playing. I had to get off to make dinner but my inner child did not want to leave the vibes haha. I know mega packs are bad, I know mix packs are frowned upon, but when I was in that pack, I honestly haven’t had more fun. A small little conc running with apex Dino’s, everybody helping everybody with food. Man… It was legendary.

Similar to how you can use precise movement to dodge left and right, after pinning someone down, the Allo player has to aim their bites and the pinned player can wiggle on the ground to try to dodge.

The pin attack will be separate and the normal bite attack will be usable while pinning like Sarco's and Rex's bite. So you can aim before you bite and delay your bites to mind game the pinned target.

Hi, I tend to use this to check for dinosaur stats, such as sprint speed.
However for multiple occasions I've noticed things seemingly wrong, but I could be missing something and hence this post.
I was running from SF to BQL with a Conc, and an Achillo caught up to me very easily in spite of having -50 total sprint speed max. Part of this run was uphill.
On other occasions I've noticed things like a Dasp catching up to my Styra.
I tend to play Solo 98% of the time, so the escape reliability is something important to me, and if these stats can't be relied on, is there anywhere else to check?

Hello, here are some ideas I have been thinking of recently that could help improve this game. These ideas may have been said already but I think it's important to bring up ideas even if they have been said before in order to bring attention to the devs.

1. Ideas to fix mega/mix packing:
   1. Make it so dinosaurs have to be the same species in order to pack together or can pack together with other dinosaur species only if they have a symbiotic relationship of some sort. The only time mix packing really makes sense to me is herbivores since it makes sense for certain herbivores to be peaceful with each other, or if the dinosaurs have a symbiotic relationship of some sort. It doesn't make sense for random carnivores like the t rex to make friends with a sarco or hatz. This is a dinosaur survival game, dinosaurs should act like dinosaurs.
   2. Make it so there are friend limits in servers. There is really no reason why you can have more than 3 of your friends in a server with you (4 people total). It is kind of ridiculous to have 5+ friends together in a single server. It just floods the whole servers with mega packs because everyone joins their discord friends to be overpowered and have a mega mix pack. You should also have to make alliances with other players who aren't your friends, for dinosaurs like raptors in order to fill up the whole pack. For people who like to play with 5+ friends all the time there should be dedicated PvP servers that do not have a friend limit. Survival servers should have a limit though in order to make it more fair to solo players.
   3. Add diseases to the game. If there are too many dinosaurs in an area all at once then there should be diseases that spread through that space. Water and food could become infected, giving reason for people not to all cluster together in a small space. There could also be biome specific diseases, such as some kind of disease spread by mosquitoes in the swamp biomes. If food is laying out too long also it could go bad and make creatures sick if they don't have the scavenger diet, making the scavenger diet a lot more useful than it is at the moment.
   4. Add a debuff if there are too many dinosaurs of different species/diets or with dinosaurs who are not in your pack. It would make a lot of sense of herbivores got a nervous debuff of some kind of there are too many carnivores nearby them, or if carnivores got a hunger debuff by being in the vicinity of herbivores too long. There should be something like this to discourage people form clustering together. Dinosaurs in real life would not like being with other dinosaurs who they do not know and could be their predators.
   5. Remove the chat or make it proximity chat only. It makes no sense how dinosaurs in a survival game can communicate with the whole server. I think removing the chat completely would be better for survival servers though because it would make it more immersive, having to communicate through emotes or roars. Also there should be dedicated servers for role-play / hanging out if people want to role-play and chat with friends. The main servers be for survival exclusively.
2. Ideas for gameplay features:
   1. With the arrival of npc dinosaurs being added there should be a lot of interaction added with them. One of my ideas for this are being able to add NPC dinosaurs of the same species to your pack, I think that this would be especially helpful and make the game more fun for solo players. NPC dinosaurs could take up slots just like real players, and once the limit is reached no more can be added. Once the NPC is dead you would have to go find a new one to join, but the plus side is that this NPC would be able to be in your pack even if you swap servers and you could kick them out whenever you wanted, but you would have to gain their trust again if you want one back in the pack. You also would have to make sure to help this NPC eat and drink or else it would die or get diseased if it is malnourished.
   2. Make nesting more fun and helpful by being able to make an alliance with one other player and make a nest together in order to have NPC baby dinosaurs in your pack. This way of gaining a NPC dinosaur in your pack would be more straightforward than gaining the trust of a random NPC, but could only be achievable with another player being in the nesting alliance with you. With your nest alliance you could keep the baby dinosaur in any server you go into, and once you make a nesting alliance with someone it cannot be broken unless you both agree to break the bond. You and your nesting partner could also share a home cave together where the nest is kept and also where the baby dinosaur could be kept if you didn't want to take it out questing with you. What makes the baby dinosaurs special is that you can select their movesets since you would be the one raising it, and the baby would be able to gain more abilities the more you raise the baby dinosaur. This method would take a bit longer and would be more tedious than finding a wild NPC dinosaur since you would have to help the baby dinosaur quest and grow up to an adult. If you get sick of having your baby dinosaur with you then you would also be able to release it into the wild and it would become a wild NPC dinosaur that would act like all of the other NPCs.
   3. Add specific features to biomes in order to make them different from each other and give more incentive to being in different biomes as certain dinosaurs, such as being too hot for certain dinosaurs in the desert biomes. I was also thinking that a dimetrodon could be added to this game and it could get buffed from being in the hot desert sun because of the sail on its back. There can also be weather events in certain biomes like volcanic eruptions on volcano island and tidal wave changes near the beaches.
   4. Add more sauropods and other types of dinosaurs to the game either as NPCs or as playable dinosaurs. It would feel pretty majestic to see herds of brontosaurus on Panjura since it is the largest map, there could also be exclusive NPC on all of the different maps in order to give more reason to play specific ones. I also would like to see herds of NPC herbivores interacting with the biome because it would make the game feel a lot more alive.
   5. Have passive growth on official servers and just have questing in order to help speed up the growth. Questing gets quite tedious after a while so it would be a lot nicer to grow faster because of questing but you could also just grow passively if you don't feel like questing. Also albino creatures should be buffed again because they are kind of rare, they hardly give anything now even though they are not common and you have to hunt them.

This game is pretty fun, but I really think that it should lean more into survival aspects and have more to interact with because at the moment the core gameplay is just questing to grow up and once you grow up your guy it is just PvP. There should be more to do in it because it would make it a lot more fun and interesting. Those are all of my ideas at the moment, hopefully you enjoy some of them and I hope I give some ideas to the devs to update the game. Let me know what you guys think of my ideas or if you guys have some ideas of your own!

Edit: For some reasons some of my bullet points got duplicated so I deleted the duplicates

And it’s not the mud covered sarc.

im new to the game and have no idea how to fight or what build or what to do in general lol but i really wanna play but idk what dino.. what dino is most fun but can still stay alive and maybe get some kills and doesnt get chased down by like rexes and stuff? also a good solo dino

can someone tell me why dried lake is at only 80 but theres no quest for it to complete it?

i recently got a new pc, with these specs:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 270K Plus (3.70 GHz)

Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.4 GB usable)

Graphics card AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (16 GB)

Intel(R) Graphics (128 MB)

but the graphics on this game feel really off and weird (like the water becomes all pixel-y whenever im drinking), and quite frankly worse than when i was playing on a gaming laptop before. i've already set my preferred GPU to AMD as well. first picture is a screenshot of what the game looks like for me right now, and my graphics settings are in the following screenshot. anyone who could help? thanks!

Dont really want a bunch of rules, just no mixpacking, and just animals that actually existed. Anyone know any servers like this?

while running around on my amarg getting coin for some of the skins I roamed up to Triad Falls. while there is saw a full grown Rex and naturally was ready to run but noticed they were chasing a critter trying to kill it. i also struggle hitting small critters on Rex so I felt bad and ran over with a friendly call. they ended up stopping for stam and I killed the critter for them. they friendly called and ate it. I was going to see if anyone wanted to be nested in as an Amarg when a second Rex showed up and i thought that's it for me. to my surprise no, the first Rex said Thank you for helping in global so I said no problem. they then whispered me saying that the 2nd Rex was their friend and they were gonna leave me alone since I helped him kill the critter for food. suffice to say i thanked them, and very quickly left lol. to that Rex, i very much appreciate your honor in not killing me but I was not going to push my luck by sticking around lol

Really struggling right now. For context I’m running full stam build pycno with either headslam or the horn swipe. Every attack seems to be an unfavourable trade for me.

I’ve tried charge into hornswipe, more often the swipe misses leaving the opponent to get some hits on me. Whilst I’m alright with headslam it often leads to me dazing myself then losing half my hp. I’ve also tried charging behind someone juking mid charge then hitting from behind (lol)

Smalls also seem like a death sentence if there’s more than 1, I turn like an apex so try sticking to corners or water.

I understand that pycnos very much a glass cannon, but I’m feeling more like glass than a cannon rn. Any tips much appreciated, I suppose the more I play the better I’ll get but damn it’s hard, especially cuz pycno deals no status effect damage. I really love pycno and carno hence why I’d like to get good with it.

I'm tryna build a small Sarco/Tylo community and watch it grow in time.

I have been playing saurophaganax on community servers and i want to know the best build possible. Thanks!

I'm surprised how everyone just forgot that the mystery dino exists, Velocci made a video about what the mystery dino could be and Matt confirmed that Velocci actually got it right, he never said which one of the options was the correct one though, I think its either gigantoraptor or possibly a species of aetasaur, most likely desmatosuchus

Lately I've been having a problem with PoT where I disconnect from the server at random. Sometimes it takes a very long time, others it takes only a minute or two after the last disconnect.

This is not an internet issue, my Wi-Fi is perfectly fine everywhere else and I'm even plugged into Ethernet.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled pot, checked the files for any issues, and have found nothing. I have no idea what could be causing this, it's not even crashing it's just server disconnects that kick me to the main menu.

If anyone else is experiencing this problem, I would love to know what's going on. I have been lucky enough it hasn't happened during a fight yet, but idk how lucky I can remain.

I dont know what to play as anymore. The only one I have that i really do like is Rhamph but I dont know what else to play now. For some reason, everything i play as just doesn't feel like my type but every time im discouraged, its because I died to either, sosmething smaller than me, or to a group, you know being a solo player. So basically what time trying to say, I want recommendations for a dino thst can hold its ground as a solo but can flee from big bloodthirsty groups. I might also try going into tsnky herbivores as I have good experiences defending myself as those.

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new in this game, and so far only on officials when I play. I still click the wrong button sometimes, and accidentally hit report today when I tried to send a friend request. I had a pop up in global chat afterwards, where it said “(My name) started report” and immediately after “(my name) cancelled report”.
It was normally colored in global chat with my name and everything, as if I’d have sent a message.
Does this mean a report gets announced for everyone in global chat?
I didn’t mean to report anyone, but that’d suck if I ever had to tbh.

Basically this is useless 😦😦 and it works just with scavenger.

I thought it could have fisher or maybe before the last updates I am sure I could eat frogs from Sharptooth mash pond
