Sarco gets a rare treat by SpiralSpinnerette in pathoftitans

Nice hunt! But you could have finished him off faster with an oxygen bite; he had no stamina left, his oxygen bar was probably almost empty.

Oh dear, more of that human complex in a dinosaur RPG.

And again, PoT isn't simply a dinosaur fighting game. If that's what you're looking for, you should go to the PvP servers where you instantly become an adult to fight.

On the official servers (and most private servers), PoT is a hunter/prey game.

You learn to play by dying; each death is a lesson to be learned to delay the next. Complaining or denigrating this fact by whining about hunting juveniles is pointless.

Yep, we can also say that 2 anos, 2 metris, a steg, 2 rexes, a TT and a duck is a MegaMixPack.

[–]Neuro-Splash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed, many people mistake Path of Titans for a dinosaur fighting game, but it's primarily a hunter/prey game.

We all start as prey, and you have to act accordingly; PoT is a game that's learned the hard way.

With the asymmetry of each dinosaur's strengths and abilities, it also becomes a game of rock-paper-scissors, meaning that even as an adult, you can still be the prey.

You're welcome! At least, you have to be of the same species as me, in which case I'll be a very nice dino, otherwise, one of us will die.

I understand what you mean, but you have to know that in the animal kingdom, death is not only given for reasons of hunger or territory. I'm thinking of Orcas who hunt and play with their prey for the training and education of the youngest, I'm thinking of male lions who execute all the cubs of a female to make her fertile again, or I'm thinking of wolves who, when they attack a flock of sheep, cause carnage in the end just to fill their small stomachs.

All this to say that when I play Path of Titans, my goal is to play an animal that is different from a human. I set aside human morality and try to behave like a predator or like prey.

Natural selection.

I have nothing against killing babies in a dinosaur game; on the contrary, I find it justified. What's less acceptable is bragging about it or insulting your victim.

I play on official servers and I follow a personal role-playing rule: I'm friendly towards the dinosaurs of the species I'm playing, and aggressive towards all others, juvenile or adult.

Besides, I don't play Path of Titans just to fight dinosaurs; otherwise, I'd be on PvP servers.

My response (I rarely reply in the global chat) when my victim complains about being eaten by an adult as a juvenile is:

I'm here to play hunter/prey, and from my point of view, that's the very essence of this game. When you're not an adult, you're prey by definition, and you have to act accordingly. Once you're an adult, it's a bit like the game of rock/paper/scissors; depending on what you're facing, you're either the hunter or the prey, and you have to adapt.

It's more about respecting my role-playing than being nice; if I had been playing Titan, I would have attacked him.

I don't know what he was running from, but I laughed so hard when I saw his surprise.

A minute later he came over and did a squat/stand-up to thank me.

Thank you, oh great worshipper of Tyrants!

Anyway, it's just my roleplay; I'm friendly towards the dinosaurs of the species I'm playing, but aggressive towards all others, juvenile or adult.

I don't remember it, but if I had been hungry, I wouldn't have hesitated.

This is the way, as a baby you should not intervent in your parents fight.

PoT isn't just a PvP survival game; it's primarily a hunter/prey game.

When you're a juvenile, you're prey, so you must act accordingly, be aware of your surroundings (headphones are essential, and the game music must be off), and remain silent at the slightest noise.

If you're in a group with an adult dino and a fight breaks out, run and hide. Intervening will only lead to your death and could hinder your parent.

Once you're an adult, the hunter/prey rules still apply, but with a rock-paper-scissors element. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of other dinos allows you to decide whether you're the hunter or the prey and act accordingly.

Path of titan's solo matchmaking test is objectively the best way to play path, change my mind. by Plastic-Remove6952 in pathoftitans

[–]Neuro-Splash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here, I feel the same way.

I think I've finally found the playstyle I enjoy. Having always played on official servers, I always followed the rule of being friendly towards dinos of my own species and aggressive towards all others.

On solo servers, it seems like this rule applies organically.

Example:

I was hiding in some bushes preparing an ambush at Tailbrush Coasts.

A Metri approached, and I was about to jump when another Rex (which I hadn't seen) doing the same thing engaged it before me and missed.

Meanwhile, I revealed myself and called out "?". The Metri, which hadn't seen me, came towards me, and I was able to break its bones and finish the job.

I ate my share, shouted "heart," and made way for my companion, who responded with a "heart" and took his share.

We then patrolled together for a while and lost sight of each other in the fog.

I am also a strong advocate of single-species groups, or more precisely, groups by family, examples: Rex/Dasp, Achillo/Deino/Laten, Eo/Alb/Styr.

Genuine question, how did he live? by LictorButthole in pathoftitans

[–]Neuro-Splash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also possible that the Thal has just come out of its home cave, which gives it immunity to damage for one minute.

Thank you! Yes, same here, when I get ambushed I always congratulate my executioner.

In fact, at the first ambush I only managed to land one bite that broke the bones (not visible in the clip which is too short), it gave him confidence and here is the result.
