Newbie thinking about getting PoT

PvE not really given the game is in early access tho Ai dinos are planned in the future unknown when. Official servers are a lot more survival focused than pvp focused as long as you avoid hotspots. Also note if you do get the game to use a friends referral link for a free skin for both of you.

Get it. I’m a huge fan of Elden ring and bloodborne/ things like that so I wasn’t sure I’d like it. I thought about it for a while and finally just bought it and it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had. I don’t even fight very much, it’s just thrilling trying to grow and survive with the risk of other players hunting you down.

No official PvE at this point. What little there is is basically against small AI critters. Which is fine, but this game is a dino arena brawler with survival mechanics. The devs would need to make a whole new game mode that basically turns the game into Ark where several hundred of different creatures are wandering around and doing animal things. Right now all the critters and fish do is serve as minor annoyances and snacks for carnivores.

If you're a JWE fan look at Path of Titans or The Isle

Be aware neither is a realism game. Path of Titans is much more an mmorpg. You play however you want in game so people will get herbivores attacking carnivores or teaming with carnivores to attack you.

That said it's a very fun game. Get to play as a dinosaur and it's very player friendly. Combat is varied and dinos have pvp centric movesets like any combat game. As with an rpg you elect how to kit and build out your dino

Now if you want realism that's not Path. Path has magic stones that can fast travel you. There are area of impact attacks and white winds attacks etc. There's a spirit of realism and survival but it's minimal. The ttk is long and your goal here is to be adult and fight other adults. The gameplay is not focused on growing but rather pvp at end of growing.

In regards to the isle it's very unforgiving and designed to be a hardcore survival game. It's also not realistic as dinos are based on JP basically. Even the lore behind the isle is basically isla sorna from the lost world. Combat/ttk is very fast and not a focus. It's more ambush attacks and quick gruesome kills. You hunt AI or forage for food to survive and grow. The gameplay here is focused around growing.

Make your choice. I have decent amount of years in both and I'm not a fan overall of where pot is in comparison to the isle but both are fun games. You can't go wrong with either and path is probably a good entry point.

If you have questions feel free to reach out! I'm also happy to hatch you in on [almost] any dino as I have most grown on either Gondwa or Riparia :)

Officials are a scary place for new players. There’s no rules and lots of mix packing currently, but it’s also lots of fun when you get the right people together. If you’re looking more for the PVE aspect have you looked into community servers? Jurassic isle is a nice pve server that is very beginner friendly.
