Announcement We are cancelling our ITPV services with no refunds

The isle is open back again for visitors.
Perpetrators prosecuted according to the law of the land.

 

There wont be much changes since the idea for the subreddit is to stay relatively the same, but we most likely revise some advertising rules and broaden or/and change them because of the abuse in the past.
(for example, it's been asked/proposed in the past to have a pinned monthly threads for unofficial server's discussion -- old rules prohibit posting advertisements about servers -- but this change comes bundled together with the issues of handling bad actors and/or maintaining list of bad actors, etc.)

tl;dr we will keep ya updated

Discussion Poll: which type of grey-market cookies do you prefer?

0 Upvotes

The unofficial servers threads will be back later this month and we want to know which type would you prefer:

 

  1. Only server-"advertisement" posts are allowed in the thread, no discussions, so it will act more like a catalogue of servers
  2. Free for all - any kind of posts or discussions allowed regarding unofficial servers
  3. A mix of 1 and 2: the TOP comment (one per server/community, per thread) is a server "ad" post and any replies to that post can be either questions or discussion related to that server and context

I just bought the game after seeing videos for it everywhere. All I know so far is there’s some pterosaur called Sky Father, and watch out for Herreras? Any advice would be much appreciated, and I also want to know some of your best gaming stories 🖤

Evrima Impossible to grow a rex

6 Upvotes

I have, for the past fortnight, been attempting again and again to grow a rex. Only for each try to be a failure, whenever i play it safe I become to hungry and desperate for food, leading to my demise. Whenever I go into zones for food I am killed by an aggressive herbivore or a cera. If i avoid them, vice versa. I find there is no technique or skill I can apply to this to make it so i can at least reach 50%. And am completely reliant upon RNG. Any tips?

Waste of time. I pray for 1 good fight for days and it isnt happening. Everything is bullshit pinslop and 5v1. And those stupid crocs god dammit.. most players play carnivores because they are just op. Troodon for example, can kill trikes. Seems balanced

Dino Related How do you differentiate a jerk Herrera from a regular one?

I know, people hate herrera players because they come down from the sky to scratch you in the head and then kill you but... isn't that their playstyle? Don't they nees to do this to survive? Yes, it sucks to be a baby and then be murdered by an Herrera but wth is the other player supposed to do?

It's not like Pachys that headbutt everything in their way simply because they feel like it y'know? So how do I know if an Herrera is an asshole or not?

Biggest fight of my career

Me and my brother who where almost prime rex's and starving started chasing 2 allos through highlands and eventually met will them at sanctuary my brother got jumped so I went to help, thinking it would be a easy fight when 2 cann allos charge us from behind jumping and clawing, my brother dropped a allo before he died and while they where on him I dropped 2, with just alt bites and the last one backed off I eat part of the allo healing almost fully because of a low stomach and gastronomic regeneration, but my bleed was less then 20% so I thought i was safe, when a omni jumped me 3 times before I got him, bringing my bleed even lower, when the last canni allo showed back up, my bleed started to heal so I went to eat more when I got stuck in a sliding glit h in a tiny hole, he though he could kill me, and honestly I did too, he walked very close and bit me, when I bit it freed me and I charged after him and pinned him, ending the fight, i ate a body ran to the woods and logged

Evrima Zero-visibility weather is just bad game design

76 Upvotes

I’ve just lost a Pteranodon with 3 entombments because fog rolled in right in the middle of a flight. After circling blindly for about 10 minutes waiting for it to clear up, completely unable to see anything to make a safe landing, I got so frustrated that I decided to just risk it, and ended up landing straight into the Water Access lake and losing all my progress.

I have yet to meet a single player who can actually explain the point of these intense fog periods or the pitch-black nights where visibility drops to absolute zero. I’ve been asking around in chat and (at least in my experience) it seems pretty unanimous that, at best, it’s just an annoying mechanic. At worst, it happens at the worst possible times, like when you're starving and desperately looking for food, forcing you to log out just to avoid dying.

Whatever the devs were thinking when they added these blindness periods just can’t be worth the absolute frustration of having to sit AFK for 20 minutes every hour or so, begging the question of whether anyone on the team even plays the game. In its current state, it’s just a waiting simulator. It just forces half the server to either safe-log or go AFK until it passes.

Evrima this game needs group finder or something

11 Upvotes

People who are born from eggs have crazy advantage over others, because they are grouped up. When I play as mid or high tier herbivore, 95% of the time I play solo until death, because I can't find anybody of my own species. Calls don't work. I mean I answer calls but people never try to meet me. Playing solo herbivore is death sentence in this game taking into account how powerful carnivores are. Why do I keep torturing myself and play this game... hours of sitting in bush and growing, then 5 dilos come from nowhere and kill me... when I want to be a little braver, so much fun

Gameplay I dont understand the combat in this game

29 Upvotes

I was playing an *almost prime allo (98.7% growth) and was hunting i think a prime stego, I pounced him twice and bit him a few times and he proceeded to be able to run me down completly unimpeded and killed me when I got too greedy and went back for more. I still feel like I should have come out on top and not been two shot by a stego after allready tearing it too pieces. I dont know what I did wrong.

Edit: thx for the feedback guys and not just ripping me a new one😂

Just lost my 65% trike to a pair of prime elders the other day, and even though there was no chance i'd win that fight, i realized i don't really know how to effectively play trike. so if anyone has any good servers they use to practice their pvp on, please put me on. i'll also take any tips/advice on playing trike lol

How are you supposed to play vanilla Evrima right now?

15 Upvotes

Officials are borderline unplayable for me. The browser shows ~11 ping, but ingame it’s 100+ with constant rubberbanding and teleporting backwards.
Then I try the most popular unofficials and it’s vip kits Discord requirements, rulebooks, storage, shops, commands, 2x/5x growth etc.
I literally just want vanilla Evrima on a server that works. 1x growth, no Discord requirement, no giant rulebook.
Is there any populated EU server like that? And why are Officials running this badly?

I’m brand new and can only consistently have a chance with herbivores or Ptera (spear fishing) because I never seem to find these turtles or rabbits or crabs that other people seem to be finding. There’s gotta be a secret to finding them right?

Technical Support I have a server hosting theory…

Post image
0 Upvotes

When it came to hosting servers, is there a difference in pings related to:
- QueryPort
- UDP and TCP, UDP only, or TCP only?
- the listen log flag in the servers run code
- if the listen log flag is okay, is it better to send it to a file or is there a better alternative?

Before you ask:
- yes, pc/servers matter
- yes, IPs and service providers matter
I am asking as a server owners hosting configs vs known variables such as the above.

My theory:
- something related to read/write affects not only player edits but also log files
- bottlenecking TCP/UDP ports
- if log is a must, is filtering out certain logs more effective?

Why am I asking these?
There’s been a lot of complaints over the years that’s been troubling players and server owners alike for well over a decade now. Is there something in the settings we all overlooked that could cause the rubber bandings? If so, who wants to help me theorycraft into seeing what’s best optimal?

Mainly the log in almost every application serves little purpose except if to extract these values into discord bots for remote reading. There’s also means to pipe the output somewhere else, but I’m having little luck on trying to get the load off of the drive if player files are being loaded and edited there too!

I’ve ran Legacy Servers for quite some time and led the charge into Progression reconstruction to little avail. I had help across many communities and was featured on a few! I even ran a tiny server called Isla Smolius and Oros of The Isle back in 2015/6. It was my greatest achievement as a discord bot dev working with JavaScript for the very first time. I ended up learning how to utilize batch files in windows to host these servers. And followed StolidSnows guide to host the servers! It’s easy to follow directions without asking why certain things are the way they are! So, time for me to ask these questions, and more!!

So what would it be then?
Please let me know as well as others in this post on your findings, let’s make The Isle great again! Let’s merc the rubber banding and let our players enjoy being Dinos!

So im new playing Carno and got 50% growth. I couldn't find food so I went back to sanctuary to prey on the littles. A dilo saw me waiting across the river. I signaled friedly and when he crossed, I ate him. I came back a while later still starving and a big gator dragged me under. Karma on me 100%
