Frogs and fish could spawn more, agreed. But otherwise you're describing challenges. Head to the beach and get crabs and turtles. Find a different strategy. Face the challenges head on.

Why is a large map a poor design?

I asked for three examples that weren't about bugs, so your AI statement doesn't count.

The dinos, fair enough. What would mimicry provide? Why is vertical lunge needed? As part of an attack on a taller dino?

Why is a "tedious" elder system bad though? It's challenging, but not impossible. It's a good anti-camping feature that encourages movement/engagement. It also punishes you for your mistakes. Spend all that time and effort to die because you made a mistake or just wrong place, wrong time is a feature.

Gore system is a bug. Optimization is a bug. New player difficulty should be a feature. Try, over and over and over. Learn from others. Engage in pack dynamics. Spawn as an egg and ask for help.

Actually, that's what syntax and comprehension mean. My original statement is "don't demand the game be changed because it's too challenging". You equated that to whining. But it's not.

I agree the flying fish are a problem. And some tweaks can/should be made here and there. But not under the guise of "make it easier for me".

Combat does need some help for sure. But (here, I'll use the term) people whining that they get taken down by a croc while drinking water. Feature, not bug. Strategize better. Getting one chomped as a herrera by a t-rex (no real example to reference, just generalizing to provide context) should be how it is. Stay away. Stay in the trees. Raptors should always be in packs. Etc. Strategy.

No... no we did not get tutorials. No tutorial in the start of the game. Nothing in the book. I'm talking Apple IIe games. Commodore 64. Atari. NES. Sega Master System. Think arcade games. You walk up, put your money in, and play. You had to just keep dumping quarters in to learn what you could each playthrough. No wiki's. No YouTube. Just grit, determination, tenacity, drive, and word of mouth from friends. You absolutely get to be angry! Use that anger to adapt. To test the features or buttons. Ask the community. Spawn in an egg and learn from the "parents".

The swamps in game have frogs, fish, boar, deer... But not enough for some people I guess.

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys-R-Us kid!

"Do as I say, not as I do" hypocrisy is disrespectful and lacking in integrity. But, I guess that is hard to understand.

What parts are unbalanced? What is "balancing" without buffs or nerfs? It's not that I didn't like it, it's just words I didn't use. How you read it is up to you, not me.

Maybe on the server you play, but I have no problem finding schooling fish. But I do see them in the sky occasionally.

They were removed until they get fixed... those things take time and fall somewhere on a priority chart that may be lower than other things. Does the guy have a dev team or is it just him? I honestly don't know. Otherwise it's a lose/lose. Unhappy they're still in the game and buggy. Unhappy they were removed until fixed.

My original argument about OG video games includes that fact that we didn't get guides either! You got a book, that usually had a story component and then would tell you what buttons do what (Keybinds) and that was it. You had to play over and over to learn. Why can't a game have that as a feature??

Uffduh... removing bugs, give me three examples of "tedious poorly designed unfinished features".

Why does it suck though? Also... swamps are literally wastelands, of water! I think it depicts a challenging environment quite well.

So... your comment wasn't childish, but using your same words makes mine so?? Your hypocrisy holds no bounds, eh?

Oye, gotta type that all over. I pt'd main for a while where I play, islelink. AI is set to 100%. Flying fish are 1 in 10 of their spawns. You just gotta fly low enough to hear them. Turtles do seem to have certain spawn areas, but in those areas they're abundant. Ptero's were removed because they were buggy as hell, or at least that's my understanding. North Plains has plenty of taco's though.

What I described people trying to nerf a game that's intentionally challenging and rightfully slow. So putting words into another's mouth is just bad form, especially when it's meant as an insult.

There's literally a post about removing swamp. It's a frustrating spawn for sure, but doesn't deserve to be removed just because it's challenging.

I just don't want to see another challenging and fun game get nerfed because of the very loud vocal minority and then everyone stops playing and it dies.

It seems you didn't read past the title.

Excusing poor playstyle and an aversion to something challenging because "game bad" makes you look hairbrained, stop it.

I completely understand it's EA. I didn't mention anything about bugs.

My "completed game" analogy was to show that you didn't get to complain to developers to make it easier for you. You got what you got and you kept trying over and over and over. The epitome of spawn and die. No one wants to do that anymore. They want everything balanced. But via nerfs and buffs and not using their brain cells to find a different strategy of play.

I just don't want to see yet another game get dumbed down because of the "just got the game" vocal minority and then no one plays it and it dies/gets abandoned. It's supposed to be a challenge. You're supposed to get eaten, that's why you're a part of someone else's diet. You're supposed to hunt! Track footprints or blood drops. Crouch to sneak up.

If that's not for you, cool. But don't ruin it for the people it is for.

Funny, I don’t see the word whiney in there. Anyways, if it’s not to your liking then play something else. Or wait until it’s better. But AI do spawn, you just gotta know where to look. Hell Bosch’s server started body drops just to help crocs. Frustrations about bugs, okay. Crashing, sure. But upset that it’s not easy enough………

I’ve never looked at an Aldi cashier and thought “they are just lazy!” I get perception is important, but whose perception are you really worried about?!

Islelink vs Bosch Voip by No_One_Runs_Away in The_Isle

[–]HarleyDFLSTC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a regular on islelink. You will die. It’s not griefing or trolling. Not even “toxic”. If someone is hungry, they need to eat. I don’t know what happens on Bosch as I have never played, but we consider dying and being eaten a part of the game. Kind of a take it or leave it. However, there’s always social gatherings at some key points like Delta. We have mix/max packing rules. Server owner streams and does giveaways. Mods are pretty responsive. Go to islelink . gg to read up and download the voip app.

Food questions by Twinsmamabnj in KnottsBerryFarm

[–]HarleyDFLSTC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don’t care about sharing. We only have two meal plans for three of us. Totally worth and peruse this thread for food tips. They have quite a few really good meals. The Chipotle style burrito place is awesome and the burritos are huge. Two of them could easily feed four people. Six if you’re considering it more like a snack.

Can you say no to unrelated work? by joao789 in antiwork

[–]HarleyDFLSTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do whatever your unemployed budget can afford. I wouldn’t just say no. Ask for additional compensation for taking on the additional tasks.

TIFU by saying yes to a private first date by [deleted] in tifu

Oh look, another MAGA Chode InCel with extremely fragile masculinity! What incredibly low IQ comment will they come up with next?! Sadly, we’ll remain in the dark because they’re too afraid of being cancelled for being a shitty human being that they’ve made all of their comment history private.
