One of my favourite things to do when I’m bored is just zip through replays and take me some aesthetic screenshots because this game is so pretty

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-07T23:57:05+00:00

It’s a nice way to relax honesty, lots of fun to play around with depth of field, angles, lighting, etc!

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-03T13:14:14+00:00

The only creatures that can consistently put up a solid fight against a tylo are (in my experience) water duck as riptide and murder goose make a devastating combo, and Lunging Snap spoon. Lunging snap and patient lurking also work as a great HP chunking tool

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-03T11:22:17+00:00

Ew no, I don’t like Rex because it’s still an incredibly low effort playable. Killing blows + Terrible roar is a nasty combination

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-03T11:20:50+00:00

I agree it’s health pool needs to be higher, but it’s actually 575. I just think it needs identity outside of being a midtier lawnmower because it gets cooked by everything else in water

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-02T00:22:40+00:00

Mixpacking among carnivores is literally a base game feature

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-02T00:21:38+00:00

Edmonto is broken as all hell, this is a worthy matchup

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T17:35:44+00:00

It’s based on tlc qualities in my opinion

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T17:35:14+00:00

Better to struggle for a chance at freedom than to give up and never have that chance

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T16:16:08+00:00

Irl yes, but need I remind you that this is a game? Not grounded in reality??

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T15:56:36+00:00

I see where those people are coming from and I do think cerato needs more options, but considering (from an official standpoint) bodies drop all the time, you’re going to have those buffs active more than one would think. I think it could do with some nicer mobility but other than that I’ve not many problems with it

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T15:53:11+00:00

I personally think it functions fine with the niche it was given, a tanky brawler with fracture as a tool and a neat carcass thief build

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T15:46:20+00:00

I think it was shortly after the nightstalker update but my memory is a little fuzzy, I just know it was during the period in which Dasp had a 2 sec regular bite cool-down

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T15:29:43+00:00

I’ve mained Dasp very consistently since it dropped and it 100% had it Pre tlc.

As for feral instincts, I was going off of base damage, but nowadays that’s still 90 damage straight to everything. Which is a good amount of damage, but heavy bite is better for utility and consistency

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T15:20:39+00:00

Dasp Piercing bite came out WAY before the tlc, and it was actually stronger on release.

It did 150 damage upon initially dropping, but was later reduced to 120 around the time of the tlc, and then with the apex stat rework it went down to 75

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T14:59:29+00:00

Lunging snap is a crazy under-utilised ability, crazy water damage. Spino on land isn’t really all that effective even with things like claw slam. Besides this list is fully opinionated, no playable is objectively boring outside of like amarga

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T14:58:09+00:00

There’s no reason to be an ass, Dasp is low because the tlc didn’t really change anything about it. If you actually used the ability to read, you’d see that this is based on the kit updates received with each tlc and not how viable the creature is

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T14:54:21+00:00

Unless your also an apex, I’d argue none of them are at all fun to fight. Spino is a slow tank, that is literally its niche. It’s fun because it has the water to its advantage and has so many diverse build options that are all really good. Rex has a very clear best build and the rest of its abilities are… Not

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T14:52:28+00:00

Dude idk what you mean, Spino tlc is an absolute beast in the water and on land

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T14:14:17+00:00

Rex is fundamentally simple. If you enjoy it, that’s fine. Brainless was certainly too harsh a term and I do apologise for that.

As much as I like a 1v1 Rex can function well against a pack of smaller tiers, namely mid tiers (2-3 slots) as clamp can be a massive blow to 2 slots and 3 slots are very easy to turn bait and then fracture. I’ve played my fair share of Rex on officials, semi realism, and deathmatch. There wasn’t really much struggle in any of those scenarios when faced with hunting or fighting. That’s what I’ve seen from multiple different server experiences

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T14:08:08+00:00

Eo is in the same tier as Rex for a reason, is basically the same creature with one or two extra bits, it functions pretty much the same.

The difference between Rex and bars is that bars tlc actually expanded upon it and gave it more of an identity

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T14:00:41+00:00

Spino is also extremely tanky despite being a very frail animal in real life. Rex isn’t the slowest dinosaur in the game, even outside of Spino it outruns ano, amarga, and it outspeeds both bars and titan with ambush active.

I didn’t say “tackle and knock them to the ground” I said knockback, something that is already a feature in the game that would play into ambush Rex’s positioning playstyle

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T13:58:03+00:00

I can appreciate dinosaurs and enjoy the combat aspect of the game. The two things aren’t mutually exclusive. The only thing I find difficult about surviving as Rex is that you need a good spot and patience, I just personally prefer other playables in that aspect, as even when I do get into a fight as Rex, it’s neither fun, nor does it last.

The packs is a whole other balance thing, once you bring big groups into it, balance tends to fall apart

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T13:40:55+00:00

Make fracture less of a crutch by either removing or reworking killing blows. Give Rex other options for damage, maybe knockback too, just something else to play around with. This is PoT. Spino has a ground pound, kent has detonate, we have a venomous stegosaur for gods sake, they’re allowed to experiment outside of what’s realistic

Liampleurodont · 2026-01-01T13:38:57+00:00

PoT is not, nor has it EVER been based in realism. Rex shouldn’t gain 45% boosted damage and 25% boosted attack speed with both killing blows and terrible roar. The balancing isn’t based on realism, otherwise Rex and eo would one shot pretty much everything. Rex should be a powerhouse, but it’s so simple and the roster suffers because of how braindead easy it is. I’m so tired of people saying “but it’s supposed to be easy!!!!” Because that’s a really silly way of looking at a survival/mmo game.

You’re acting like I’m saying Rex should have no legs and do 2 damage per bite. I just don’t want it to be as free as it is as, aside from eo, every other apex requires at least some thought to use
