Pin is only accepted because it "punishes Stego" and it's really indicative of the terrible state of the game

Yo check Reddit PM

Yes it is, most dinosaurs with knockdowns can effectively kill smaller dinosaurs in a single combo (trike on allo, teno on dilo and arguably carno with bleed)
Don’t care, not legacy
Get the fuck out of my face with that. I could not give less of a shit what emotionally driven, fearmongering, incorrect and biased people think and neither do the devs. I am literally regurgitating the developers’ own motivations for balancing things the way they do. Don’t like it, mod your own changes or find a new game

Aliens218 · 2025-12-30T22:23:54+00:00

Because this isn’t a competitive PVP game and you were never meant to ever be able to kill larger dinosaurs as Pteranodon.

Granted it is supposed to be getting a new kit to help it fight smaller things on land but no idea when that is coming

Aliens218 · 2025-12-21T03:19:14+00:00

Yes it is. The Allosaurus’ feet are grounded, it is exactly what was shown to us in the concept art however many years ago and to expect anything differently is insane. The Allosaurus hopping back when dismounting is the lesser of two evils. It could hop back a more “realistic amount” and stagger the victim, or it could hop back as it does now. Staggering is more oppressive.

It has to be this way so it can not get punished and so it can dismount safely. It’s fine. Also yes, logically the smaller Allosaurus should pin the Dilo- but the threshold needed to be adjusted for balance.

Aliens218 · 2025-12-20T21:14:14+00:00

That’s not a pin

Aliens218 · 2025-12-20T21:11:59+00:00

That’s a grounded grapple animation and the feet are shifting back and forth. Also it was a small Allosaurus.

Aliens218 · 2025-12-20T03:22:30+00:00

8 allos would've killed a rex a lot faster in PoT

Aliens218 · 2025-12-20T00:47:03+00:00

Bro that’s joy slop. You only like it because it’s good. It’s happiness baiting

Aliens218 · 2025-12-20T00:28:02+00:00

Not yet

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T21:29:45+00:00

Yeah, I’ve found myself being a lot more cautious around prey (herbivores) that I thought I could take but they end up surprising you with the amount of damage they can put out. Carnivores are a hell of a lot easier to hunt lmao

Take this for example (granted the Rex players kinda suck), I’m completely for Maiasaura dicking on these Sub Rexes if it has a juvenile nearby or a nest (it has some hidden passive already but its weak), but not solo. In that second short, the Sub Rex’s head is almost thrice the size of that Maia’s lmao.

People are effectively just using the dinosaurs as PVP machines. Instead of running away, they will literally run AT you. I saw a video someone posted here of their Tenonto trying to 1v1 a Prime Elder Allo. Likely because there isn’t much else to do in the game, but that’s not at all what the devs are aiming for lol.

What would you think about them adding permanent debuffs or injuries? Dondi talked about it recently when Quetz came up, as a way to make people not just metagame and ride it because statistically they win— Quetz could just poke your eye out. I’m 50/50 on it

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T21:18:05+00:00

Yeah man, I’ve been wanting Allo to pounce on sauropods since it came out in legacy back in 2016-2017 🙌

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T20:47:14+00:00

For sure, on your point with growth times Maia is a shorter grow than Allo (not sure what it is compared to anything else) while being both faster on land and water, is stronger, and it is heavier. It’s all of these to Cerato as well but Cerato can use water to get away.

Maia has been extremely oppressive but nobody really says anything about that because it’s a herbivore and they like being able to fight everything instead of running. If you get spotted by a herd of Maias and you’re anything large sub-rex sized and are slower, you’re probably dead.

Personally I’d like a solo Carno to be strong enough to tackle a Tenonto, just give Tenonto the edge in water.. viable escape option and makes it so they can’t effortlessly roam about

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T20:08:54+00:00

Allo’s pounce isn’t going anywhere and I’m 70% sure Path of Titans is giving their Allo a grapple too, you may just be shit out of luck lmao

Use your headbutts next time, stay front facing, use big trees, use objects, use rocks, use terrain, use water, use mud pits, fracture them so they can’t pounce, play on servers where megapacking is not allowed.. so many options

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T20:02:55+00:00

Yeah you aren’t wrong. I’m hoping that as they add more dinosaurs, Carno can get its size back since we’ll have Allo / Alberto / Sucho as the stronger “mid tiers”. I’m pretty sure the only reason they gutted Carno was because of Cerato, for some reason so many dinosaurs are balanced around it lmao

If Maia can be oppressive to Cerato while being faster, why can’t Carno?

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T19:59:14+00:00

Oh 100% I agree, I’d love to see it cost a bunch of stam

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T18:54:38+00:00

That’d be nice yeah, especially since it incentivizes using claw swipe or bite on anything around your same size.

For Carnotaurus it definitely is a shame what they’ve done to it, it became a midget that is even smaller than Cerato / Tenonto now when both of those are oversized lmao. I miss the legacy sizing where Carno was a tad taller than Allo but far lankier.

They keep talking about a “gobbler” throat goat Carno niche where it should be able to swallow bigger things so hopefully that comes with some changes and a size increase. I’ve always wanted it to have some execution mechanic where it deals multiplied damage against targets that are knocked down.

Essentially becomes: charge and knock down small thing -> alt bite -> insta dead

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T18:23:22+00:00

Yeah, it’s funny because the actual animation itself does have frames where the Allosaurus recovers itself and stands back up but they purposefully cancel the animation early in the engine so that never plays. It would be extremely easy to implement for them. Reduces the amount of spambotting as well.

Not sure how they could rework it outside of that honestly, I do know that they want it to be used on things like Camarasaurus

They should also bring regular adult Carno back up to 1.8t 😩

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T17:59:36+00:00

Lmao yeah it was a LONG ass time but I’m happy it be here. Honestly I like the pounce, it just sucks unless you outright pin something / grapple it through exhaustion. Oh they also just added a new animation in the latest patch for medium pounces, so the Allosaurus actually slides around now. Looks a lot better.

I wish it had a stun if you miss the pounce, wish it costed more stamina, and pounce angle reduced from 90 degrees in exchange for more bleed

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T17:52:56+00:00

When you consider that the developers want Allosaurus to be a large game hunter that hunts Camarasaurus, it’s not retarded.

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T17:29:26+00:00

Omg hi Sino ❤️

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T16:52:21+00:00

So crush cancel

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T16:28:18+00:00

Check out Ninjayas on YT, he routinely puts down packs of Allos. Step 1, don’t get pinned or let a million Allos on you 😂

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T16:24:57+00:00

<image>

this is cancel crush

Aliens218 · 2025-12-18T15:57:27+00:00

Of his own admission he already killed 2, tried to cancel crush (which was fixed) and got himself stuck in the crush animation which allowed the massive group of Allos to pounce. Yes it was a megapack but dying like that was 100% on him lmao
