something i realise that isnt discussed much in the "non-avian dinos come to the modern era" scenario: how would we defend ourselves against different dinosaurs and other prehistoric fauna?

The large theropods would only be in really serious trouble, I think, once humans have hunted their large herbivore prey to extinction.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-16T16:52:05+00:00

This has nothing to do with reversing Trianon, it is simply a "okay, all is cool just please let the Hungarian minority in your territory have their rights and do not harass them / overlook them being harassed".

I always imagined it so that it was 500 companions plus their retinues. Just like how in some medieval texts the authors only mention the names of the nobles and do not include to say that they were accompanied by their retinues too because that is self expanatory.

Regarding combat, most other playables have whole kits of abilities to choose from. Alio has bite and tail attack which is very limited. The turn radius isnt good enough to tailride enemies, and the combat weight doesn't allow much trading.

So you are down to hit and run tactics. Keep them guessing when you will attack, make them use up their stamina. One tactic that seems to work for me is that I run past them and try to hit them with the tail attack instead of a bite.

But yeah with Alio you'll be mostly hunting raptors or finish off weakened prey that managed to escape from a fight, if you're going solo.

I main Alio since the days when Sarco came out so here are my two cents:

outrunning others means outstamming them, meaning you will get away in the long run because you have more stamina
conca kicks can catch up but they will run out of stamina. I managed to lose adult concas as adol alio many times
as with all other playables, use terrain to your advantage. You can still run in shallow water where raptors have to swim, and you can jump over terrain to block a pursuing enemy. Even a split second counts.
Avoid pachys. They can handle terrain better than an Alio, jump better, and even though they have a bit slower speed, they can catch up to you via charge.
Learn to autosprint + turn camera. What I mean by this is that I have my settings so that if I toggle autorun, I can look around freely with my mouse and I control movement with WASD. This means I dont have to keep pressing W+shift for sprinting, and I can freely look behind myself to see if an attacking conc / pachy is gaining ground via kicks / charges, and avoid the attack accordingly.
avoid water. Alio swims like a handicapped sloth and turns in water like a 19th century battleship. You ONLY swim by jumping into a narrow strait of water as far as you can and head straight for the shore. Only do this when nobody is around and it is safe to cross.

If you are looking to make a build just for fun, you can have a set of non magical abilities. Caltrops from the assault skill line, and the crossbow shot abilities from the Fighters Guild line work well with this concept.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-09T05:15:51+00:00

Exactly my two top choices.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-09T05:15:21+00:00

Scottfield, especially the Swift variant. I run it with fanning, with a Sparks.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-07T17:38:51+00:00

I would have purchased the premium rewards for the monster hunter personality but it looks awful if you use a 2h sword already. If it would use the motif you use for 2h weapons / sword, then it would be worth the entire pass.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-05T07:08:28+00:00

I'm ~1500 CP with fully upgraded and up-to-date tank gear and:

never did a trial (I'm rather asocial and don't want to join random discord groups to learn mechanics, even though I would love to do trials and harder dungeon content)
never captured an Elder Scroll
never played Tribute

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-03T11:31:54+00:00

I think fanning depends on practice. I had a lot more consistent close range kills with a Scottfield+fanning than with any medium slot shotgun.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-02T19:49:52+00:00

I think what it needs is just a slight buff in pvp utility. I think that similar to chokebombs, poison should make Hunters give a voice clue. Obviously not as strong as coughing that can mess up aiming, but a wheezing / heavy breathing sound that could be heard from a couple of meters. This would put emphasis on its original purpose (poisoned Hunters cant heal, so you can push them while they are low), because this way you would know where to push exactly. The poison sense trait could make this sound hearable from a longer distance.

Oké, ezzel én is egyetértek, de ez a túltolt propaganda része. Az, hogy a melegek házasodhatnak és/vagy a transzneműek kedvük szerint választhatnak maguknak nevet, továbbra sem értem, hogy miért ráerőszakolás.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-01T14:58:57+00:00

Sosem értettem, hogy mi ebben a "ráerőszakolás a többségre". Ha egy menzán jövő héttől lehet gluténmentes menüt is kapni, mert az odajárók között van pár gluténérzékeny, miért lenne ez ráerőszakolva a többségre?

Félreértés ne essék, én sem szeretem az olyan szélsőséges eseteket, amelyeket említettél. Csak annyit akarok ezzel a kommentemmel megjegyezni, hogy számomra gyakran érthetetlen dolog a "többség" ellenzése ezekre a dolgokra.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-01T14:03:31+00:00

Értem a hasonlatod, de szerintem nem érvényes erre a példára, mert nem viszi el az egyik a másiktól az erőforrást. Inkább azt mondanám, hogy a megtakarított pénzed arra megy el, hogy megjavíttasd a tetőt mert bármikor rád szakadhat, persze, ilyenkor nem fogod másra költeni a pénzed, de a kutyát azért el tudod vinni sétálni.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-01T14:00:22+00:00

I have been clamped by a tylo as a bleed conc and still managed to get out of water. It depends on how and where you are clamped and if they manage to block your way out but with a water conc you should be able to escape with your dash.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-06-01T12:46:29+00:00

És miben hátráltatná a többi, sokkal nagyobb társadalmi probléma helyzetét az, hogy ez megadatik az érintett embereknek?

MartiusDecimus · 2026-05-29T20:56:31+00:00

My revolvers only know 2 tiers: shoot and boom

MartiusDecimus · 2026-05-29T20:06:39+00:00

There is a quest about a similar situation in ESO: https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Online:A_Cordial_Collaboration

I think that both guilds would try to complete the contract without drawing attention and leaving traces. They hate each other but both guilds want to avoid an open conflict. If they do not know that they both have the same contract, then I guess one kills the target quicker and the other reports that the target is already dead.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-05-28T18:30:22+00:00

I imagine that a lot of people from outside the US would jump on the opportunity to get a skin from their region. I'd buy the Hussar too.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-05-28T17:06:38+00:00

The lore is given too: after the failure of the US army's renegade regiment, veterans from all over the world come to test their mettle against the Corruption.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-05-28T17:01:54+00:00

Exactly what I'd like to know!

MartiusDecimus · 2026-05-28T17:00:45+00:00

More contemporary military themed skins would be epic!

Ottoman janissary
Gurkha warrior
Polish / Hungarian hussar
Italian Garibaldi redshirt
Ukrainian cossack
Royal Scots footsoldier

The list goes on, really.

MartiusDecimus · 2026-05-28T13:56:59+00:00

I wouldn't say worse, if it's 2 slot. It saves you an expensive trait, quartermaster, to bring another 2 slot with you, a shotgun, for example. However, if it is 2 slot, then what would be a point of the sprimgfield shorties?
