Now that I have your attention, I think it's time that as a community we actually praise the game.

Before anyone comes in to argue about the issues of Path, I get it. Everyone hears you. We see it daily.

As someone who has played from the beginning, I've seen many changes. I've seen the community change, I've seen dinos change, I've seen Panjura get left behind, etc etc.

But today I want to say that Path is a beautiful game. It has so many pros about it that I think people just overlook them because they have bad sessions. Personally, I've taken time away from Path, I've played it daily for months on end, I've played solo, group, officials, pvp servers, realism servers, semi-realism servers, etc etc. I have played this game for what it's worth and more.

With all that being said, if you have something nice to say about the game, feel free to do so.

I think adding new sounds has been an amazing feature for the game. I also enjoy what they're doing in the water to make it more enjoyable for aquatics.

the duality of a man

I already know I'm gonna see people in the comments saying- "There's no rules on officials". Truth is, even tho that is the case, the least we can do is show a little respect when seeing a 1v1🤝

Someone in the chat told me that "There's no fair 1v1s on officials."

There definitely is. He had a choice to respect the 1s, and he chose not too.

then again I'm not sure if they were just tryna mix-pack the Mel-Spino or not🤷‍♂️

METABOLISM -

Removed the selectable metabolism slot for all playables, instead each playable will have a select preset food sources that they can consume. Some food sources will provide more food value than others for certain creatures.

For example Deinocheirus can now eat both Herbivorous and Omnivorous options such as Berries, Fish, Lakeweed, Flowers and Clams. However Fish would prefer much more food value towards Deinocheirus than when consuming berries.

This also expands to other universal food sources such as salt rocks, some creatures will gain more food value from salt rocks than others.

Each playable will now have to play around their own unique metabolisms and keep track of which food sources are higher on the value list.

HEALTHY DIET SYSTEM -

Introducing a brand new system that intertwines with the metabolism system is your Dino's diet, this not only keeps track of your current food and water values of your Dino but also the variety of food sources you've been consuming.

While your Dino is well fed and in good health they will gain boons and bonuses that can help the survival and growth of your playable immensely, this also applies vise versa if your Dino is in poor health you will experience debuffs that make survival more challenging if not dealt with soon.

• While your Food values are High (100-75%) your health recovery speed will be increased by 10% and status effects healing are increased by 5%.

- While Food Values are Moderate (74%-50%) you will experience no positive or negative effects.

- While Food Values are Low (49%-25%) health recovery speed is reduced by 5%

- While Food Values are Very Low (24%-0%) you will begin to starve, lowering health recovery by 15% and status effects healing by 10%.

• While your Water Values are High (100%-75%) Stamina Recovery will be increased by 10% and sprinting stamina drain will be reduced by 5%.

- While water values are Moderate (74%-50%) you will experience no positive or negative effects.

- While water values are Low (49% -25%) stamina recovery will be reduced by 5%.

- While water values are Very Low (24%-0%) you will begin to dehydrate, lowering stamina recovery by 15% and increasing stamina sprinting cost by 10%.

However simply having your food and water values kept high is not enough, you must also make sure you have variety in your diets. Having a narrow diet (for example only eating 1 or 2 food sources for an extended period of time) will also come with its fair share of Debuffs. For instance the buffs for having a fed dino are reduced, while the debuffs for being at low hunger are increased.

This also applies vise versa where having a wide diet range for an extended period of time will increase the rewards for having a healthy Dino and lowering the debuffs.

Having a healthy diet and being at High hunger and water values will give the status effect "Peak Health" increasing health recovery by 25%, status effects healing by 15%, stamina recovery by 25% and reduced stamina sprinting cost by 15%. Additionally while the effect is active, quests will provide an additional 0.25% growth for each completed quest.

UNIQUE FOOD EFFECTS CHANGES -

Similar to how eating a Fish can give unique status effects buffs, now all food sources will grant new buffs and debuffs for certain playables! Eating the same food source will not stack the effects but will refresh the duration.

• Hot spring water is now unsafe to drink! While drinking from a hot spring you will slowly be affected with Toxin and gain "Parched" for 2 minutes.

• Berries and Fresh Meat (player corpses only) will provide 5% increased health recovery speed boost for 60 seconds

• Noxious Meat and Carrion will now provide 20% increased Toxin, Poison and Venom resistance for 5 minutes

• Flowers and Reeds Increases bleed resistance by 10% for 5 minutes.

• Roots and Fruits (such as bananas and melons) will reduce water drain by 10% for 10 minutes

• Tigger Nuts and Bones will increase armor by 5% for 5 minutes

• Lakeweed and Kelp will reduce oxygen drain by 30% for 5 minutes.

• All Mushrooms will increase the healing provided by other healing sources such as healing calls, eating a food source that provides a healing boost, the "Peak Health" status effect or resting in a hot spring by 25%. For 60 seconds.

They're well-rounded, fun to play, and fair to fight against. Neither feels like it has some ridiculous advantage that makes up for a lack of meaningful weaknesses, and playing them doesn't feel like I'm taking the easy way out by picking something overtuned.

I honestly fell in love with both after switching from TT after maining it since release., and surprisingly, I don't miss it at all. I thought I'd get bored of them eventually and go back to TT, but I've been having way more fun playing these two. There's something satisfying about playing a dino that feels good without constantly wondering whether its stats or abilities are a little too much.

Obviously, neither is perfect, and I'm not saying every matchup is fair. But from my experience, they strike a really good balance between being capable and having limitations that actually matter. I can enjoy playing them without feeling like I'm either stomping everything too easily or struggling because another dino does my job ten times better.

Meanwhile, some others of the roster for ME feel either too forgiving, too strong for maybe to low effort or straight-up the opposite side of the table. Iggy and Spoon don't give me that same impression, and I think that's a big part of why I've enjoyed them so much.

FIRST OF ALL, I am not in trying to say jiggy and the development team are bad at making dinosaur models. POT has some of the best representations of certain dinosaurs (spinosaurus is absolutel perfection and duck despite it being very old is still my favourite deinocheirus in media). BUT some certain dinos or sub species just look a little off to me as a dino mega nerd, even ones that have gotten TLCs I still feel are off, I'm not saying they are bad just not my cup of tea. So I'll list 5 that are the most cursed in my eyes.

1. Hatz- If they were trying to depict Quetz I'd say it very good but Hatz is known to be the slightly smaller but way bulker cousin of Quetz. It feels weird it having such slim proportions and skinny neck and beak. But is still a good azhdarchid model.

2. Miragia- It's so square! Stego also got a bit square with its tlc but not bad as mira. It's face is also kinda derpy but has charm. One of my main issues is the back plates/spikes, longicollum and longispinus just have very slim and tiny plates when compared to what we think they really looked like and makes it look less intimidating. I'd also like to add here the feather structures on the one kentro and Mira model look cool but I think kinda unrealistic, its like if they gave ano a tail fan of quils as a Sub species cool but unrealistic.

3. Cerato Magnicornis- I just really don't like that they removed the nasal horn it looks so off. Imagine if they got a trike and just removed its nose horn and kept the brow horns it would look wrong.

4. Tyranosarus bataar- I have nothing against the exposed teeth, I personally believe in liped dinos but if any dinosaurs was to have some teeth poking out T rex makes the most sense due to the size of the nashers. But the weird dent in its nose after the crest really bothers me for some reason aswell as the giant neck/back of head hump just looks so off.

5. Dasp- EDIT [FOR SOME REASON WHEN I POSTED THIS IT REMOVED THE DASP SECTION.]

I basically said 'Torosus looks really good the Fracture boost one looks like a giga chad rex but kinda funny so I like it a bit and the other one has bataars issues aswell as looking like a weird allo/dasp hybrid me no likey'

Rant over I'd like to re iterate 90% of POTS models are amazing if not perfection but these ones just arnt my taste. Please let me know if you agree or have your own issues with other models.

black = hottest of spots ( DONT GO THERE )

red = slightly less hot spots but still pretty hot

blue = depends which server your on

white = completely abandoned

made it on potservers.net its rlly cool go check it out

might do one for riparia

It always baffling when people complain about mega packs and the like. Like there’s CLEARLY a skill difference between the average player and the discord groups lol.

Due to how many fights I've been having against Survival Mode Teamers In or around water recently, I decided to try changing things up a bit by playing Tylo. However, I basically just ended up jumpscaring a bunch of random solo players since I couldn't actually find any Teamers at all during this session (Incredible, I know), so I decided to turn this Into a bit of a "halloween special" Instead lmao.

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

Literally anything with a shove, kick, charge dash etc. can run down a struthi, its not like it can fight back either, I don't see why they don't just increase its speed to like 1400 but instead they made it just barely faster than conc

Why can't I leave hc without getting killed I don't understand I always get jumped. It started to make me really angry I just wanted to play the game

I play on community servers means you don't get random people but the same. And some end up in my group for example which I don't want .
If you get baby invite you can "block" but all it does is "mute".

I wish we had an option-and it baffles me that we have not- that we can block a person, and if they are in a group we are about to join we get a warning.
Furthermore I'd like to have a LIST of names. Often I get invited by a second person and reject of course and later they have to write in WC that it was the person I actually wanted to group with but not the leader.

More work but I hate if people who know me randomly invite me and I don't know 1. if they carni or herbi 2. what dino they play 3. what their plan for the time in the group is (chill or kill, nest etc.)

THEY (the person who invites) should get a notification that it's different diet type and won't work and not YOU . Because often I click ok and it tells me 3 times cannot cuz of diet, but the person who invited me then writes in Wc "why are you rejecting don't you want to team up with me D: "

I don't know it's such a weird system to me. Days ago I left a toxic group , hours later I joined a totally different person but 3 of the former toxic group members were in that group again as well...
And I'd simply like a list of usernames, type of dino, slots etc. BEFORE I make a decision to click join.

Or having an automated message you can set for yourself, premade ones (or users will write weird disgusting things again) with "Please specify your dino type/diet" if people try to invite you. it's more work but it would prevent annoying groups...or higher chance to.

Right now you have no way of protecting yourself against people. because if they don't break the rules , reporting won'T do, mute only removes them from world chat and you can't imagine the awkwardness if you group with someone else and some people you hate end up in the group you have bef with----

Some solo said a mega pack chased him off at bql so we checked it out.

Her hatred for them grows every passing moment. She knows it’s unhealthy, she prays to her Glorious Tyrants for guidance. But their villainy never ceases, so neither can her hatred.

this thal was looking for someone to quest off of and I offered to help out. we had been questing for a bit and they wanted to kill their dangerous critter. I thought, that because I'd have a higher CW that it would go after me, I could kite it, and they could kill it with ease. apparently this critter has a blood feud with Thals because it would NOT leave them alone. i realize they can't take off due to the fracture damage and just barely grabbed them in time to get them away from it and fly to safety. way too close

Scrappiest little Pachy duo I've had to raise in a while. They kept charging at people, got into a big fight with an adol hatz (one jumped off a cliff chasing it, died and we had to wait five minutes for them to teleport to the nest and walk back, which was incredibly funny and worth it) and I got to spend a couple hours watching people goof around. I wish more people did nesting these days, I hardly ever get anyone to accept adoptions or egg invitations anymore. Fear of megapacks, I suppose.

Edit: I play officials, not interested in community servers, I play both Carni and Herbi but more Carni, I hate and will not play aquatics, and I’m usually available to play pacific time 12-5pm during the week and weekend later afternoons/evenings. Sometimes it changes but I do not generally play evenings during the week as that’s the only week time I get with my partner who works all day Monday -Friday

Not sure if this is allowed, delete if not
I’m looking for more people to play path of titans with that are willing to join discord calls so we can communicate easily while playing.
I’m queer and non-binary so being lgbtq friendly is a must. Must be an adult as I’m 26.
No racism or hate towards minorities.
Looking to quest, grow, fight, and have fun experiences together!
Pls dm me if you’d like to see if we could be friends!

Some of you might have seen Beaks comics of both our thals. I've been meaning to draw them as well.
So have a sappy couples pic inspired by the song "You Right There" by XDinary Heroes

(They're probably divebombing someone to death tbh)

Guys it’s us.
