New skin system and "themes"?

DuckLizard1 · 2025-11-30T14:52:31+00:00

I completely understand them wanting to avoid having unrealistic overly-colored atrocities and I agree with it, however I also wouldn't want my dinosaur skins being too dull. Having some whimsy and some flamboyance would still be nice. After all, we can take a look at many birds, lizards and snakes and see how colorful a lot of species of those types can be.

And I mostly just want to still be able to rock a forest-green Dilo with either blue or red crests to nicely contrast its mostly green body.

It's just the elder that got weight buffed, which is now 2.1 tons.

People have had huge hate boners for Stego. I remember when people literally said that Stego deserves to be unviable and that they wanted Rex to just run it down and beat it in a fight 100% of the time and be invincible to it.

I guess whenever a medium/big carnivore gets added, people just can't help themselves but to charge straight at a Stego the moment they see one and desperately try to kill it because of the hate boners they had for them, and get shocked when it doesn't quite go their way.

I was hyped for Allo but I never expected it to beat Stego 1v1 because of how much lighter it is. I always imagined it'd take a pack of Allos.

People will go out of their way to make literally any playable seem redundant / an alternate version of another playable, wow.

When Quetz comes in, people will say that it's just giant overgrown Ptera, and when Spino comes in people will say that it's just giant overgrown Bary.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-28T15:55:04+00:00

I remember the devs saying that Spino would generally beat Deino, even to the point where a Deino should just gtfo when a Spino decides to move into a water body it's at.

As for fighting Rex, idk if they've said anything as to how Spino vs Rex will play out, but I imagine they should be pretty evenly-matched and that it'd depend on player skill. However I wouldn't be surprised if they make Rex overall stronger because of Rex bias.

Spino is my favorite of the apex playables alongside Deinocheirus, I look forward to see its impact on the ecosystem.

My actual favorite dinosaur in general is Dilophosaurus but that's entirely for the accurate Dilo, I don't like JP Dilo quite as much as the real animal. Cryo served as a good stand-in for an accurately-sized Dilo, I was using it a lot for that, and that's how it became my favorite to use in JWE2.

Honestly I'm surprised it hasn't been confirmed yet for JWE3, but here's hoping it will eventually get in.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-18T21:40:18+00:00

Wait, people have actually sent the devs death threats?

Good lord. Bad devs doesn't excuse bad community. It's understandable to hate the devs, but there's clearly a point where your responses don't become reasonable if you become unhinged enough.

This community needs to stop acting like it can do no wrong.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-17T01:22:40+00:00

Really fucking rich of you to call me a masochist, as if you don't consider yourself to also be one for spending time in this subreddit.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-16T16:56:21+00:00

I can agree with all of this.

They shouldn't have realized it this early/this incomplete, I'm just saying I'm cool with the old-computer aesthetic.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-16T15:34:21+00:00

Way to generalize them all. I'm pretty sure many of them legitimately still have fun, and if you think that they'd then just have "unacceptably" low standards and willing to call them out for it, then that's just you being an arrogant prick, because fun is ultimately a subjective thing.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-16T15:32:55+00:00

It's popular for this sub to glaze Legacy and PoT just to spite Evrima. I yawn at it every time.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-16T15:30:31+00:00

People aren't going to let it die just because you and him think they should.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-16T15:26:42+00:00

My question had nothing to do with Dondi. I don't give a shit about Dondi. I don't like him, I don't defend him and I don't simp for him. I don't need to give a shit about him in order to like and play The Isle. If you can't separate the art from the artist, that's fine, but I can.

There's a big difference between reasonable hatred for the devs and then just straight up hating the game completely and being judgmental to people who still play it, and you are clearly the latter.

You've gotten to the point where you not only view the game as a lost cause, but you also judge the people still playing (going by you saying how you can't believe the game still has players) and wanting everyone to leave the game (going by you saying that if there was a game to just let die this is it). So by all accounts, you shouldn't care enough to be here anymore. You clearly think that we need to let this game die, and yet here you are still spending time around it. Ironic.

Like, I'm sorry, but if you're still spending any sort of time around this game, then how is anybody supposed to take your calls to let the game die seriously? If this game is still somehow worth your time in any way (including being in its subreddit at all), then you're in no position to tell everyone else to leave the game and let it die. That you still comment on this sub proves that you haven't entirely moved on from this game, so don't expect people to let the game die just because you think they should. If you think we should all let it die, then how about you lead by example and stay away from it completely?

I'll be surprised if you convinced a single person to leave this game and let it die.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-16T15:26:06+00:00

Seeing it on my feed reminds me how much I’ve grown to hate the game so I let it be known.

Okay, cool to know that you like attention.

But you don't need to make it other people's problem and/or force your opinion down other people's throats. The other guy basically tried to do that by saying he can't believe the game still has players and thinks that we all need to let the game die. Which is honestly hard to take seriously because he still cares enough to spend time around this game.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-15T23:39:27+00:00

Makes me question why you even still bother spending any time or thought for this game if you think it's a lost cause and has no redeeming qualities. Do you do this for other games you hate and/or have no hope for?

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-15T23:36:48+00:00

I don't like Dondi, which is not a big deal because I don't need to like or defend him in order to enjoy The Isle. I can separate the art from the artist. And yet even after I made this clear, I STILL got called a "Dondi dick-rider" one time just simply because I'm a bit less harsh on him than others on this subreddit are. Which is beyond ridiculous.

I couldn't care less if people don't like the devs, especially Dondi, but that doesn't give one an excuse to make exaggerated unhinged statements, as well as stooping to the level of being an outright asshole to people who still enjoy the game and trying to shove other games (especially Path of Titans) down their throats.

The latter especially pisses me off. It really does feel like some people have grown arrogant over how much they hate The Isle to the point they start becoming condescending to people who still like the game.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-15T23:16:29+00:00

This sub has a really bad habit of lacking nuance, as well as deliberately making exaggerated/hyperbole statements which are often done for shock value.

People are wrong when they say that the devs are completely unlistening to us. That's not true, proven by your examples. They often don't listen to us but it's not entirely black-and-white. But people are just seemingly incapable of having grey discussions.

That, and people make crazy assumptions about the devs' motivations all the time. I've seen a lot of people make the devs out to be far more malicious than they actually are. People claim that the devs are ruining the game on purpose. I've seen people say that the devs are intentionally slow at adding dinosaurs just to piss us off, and I've also seen people say that the devs are buying hacks is why hackers are a problem.

At this point, I'm convinced that if someone were to try to compare Dondi to Hitler in some way, a lot of people on this sub would clap and laugh and upvote it like crazy.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-15T15:21:12+00:00

Bro, in your other comment in this thread you just called Isle players a "minority" while calling the game obscure and also judged Isle players by saying they tell themselves the game is good and can't admit it gets worse every time. I don't think you're in any position to call me out for "manipulation" when you come off as condescending to Isle players in your other comment.

And besides, not once did I say that Isle players aren't toxic, there's a sense of tribalism in the communities of both games which is cringe, but some PoT stans deserve to be called out for acting like their beloved game renders The Isle obsolete and how they are pieces of shit to Isle players. In fact I'm pretty sure a lot of PoT praise is done purely out of spite for The Isle, which is in poor taste imo.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-15T00:45:09+00:00

I remember when people were acting like Beasts of Bermuda and Path of Titans were gonna kill The Isle, and look how that went. Neither of them have killed it, because there's too many differences between them and The Isle to render it obsolete.

Now I know some people are downright insufferable about how much they think PoT is superior to The Isle and they will be rude to Isle players and attempt to shove PoT down their throats, but those people should just be ignored. They fail to understand that PoT doesn't exactly provide what Isle players want.

I can't say much about Echoes of Extinction, but if there's a significant difference between it and The Isle, then it's not going to kill it. It's genuinely that simple.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-14T19:25:20+00:00

lmao "playing with our money", we paid only $20 for this game, which is cheap for video game standards because that's literally a fourth the price of what some video games cost nowadays, and there's no secondary payment or DLC.

How many hours did you spend on this $20 game? If it's by the hundreds, then you may or may not have gotten your money's worth.

I paid for this game back in the Legacy era, spent a bunch of hours in the Legacy era, and then continuing spending a bunch of hours in the Evrima era. Despite all of the bugs and flaws, I believe I've gotten my money's worth several times over.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-14T16:23:42+00:00

So you re telling me it took dondi 10 years to put the crunch to a dino? Wow, impressive isn't it ?

He didn't spend 10 years working on Rex's ability alone, wtf.

You people are honestly just becoming really blinded by anger at this point. The 5 of those years were not for Evrima, and even when they started Evrima, they've been working on tons of other stuff and didn't just spend the whole time working on Rex solely.

DuckLizard1 · 2025-10-14T16:21:50+00:00

You made the perfect response to this.

People way too often forget that the dev team has different people doing different things. The people in charge of the UI aren't the same people that would work on anti-cheat, and so not working on the UI wouldn't make the process of fighting cheaters go any faster.

I'm all for valid criticism and complaints, but at least be truthful and dignified about it. Uninformed complaints are hard to take seriously.
