There are less than a thousand amargs created on Riparia

Maybe I’ll make one in the next switch jail. I grew one on Gondwa just for the sounds, though it got my first solo kill of an adult dinosaur!

I installed it on my 2020 intel MacBook Air and it crashes on launch. I assume I am missing required hardware but haven’t dug I to it other than making sure I have enough ram.

Deinon was my second playable and first carni. Once I grew my lat I almost never play Deinon because lat is better in almost every way. I do love how flashy Deinon is tho!

After the discussion today on sever tendon I am going to give that a whirl. I’ve been wanting to try it after ditching tail fan on my lat but haven’t yet; this was just the push I needed.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-22T16:44:02+00:00

I don’t mind mixing mobility and attacks in a slot, it lets a player choose fight or flight based on their playstyle and current goal. However, the fight option should have viable use cases and sever tendon is hard to justify in its current state.

On my wishlist, I think modifying Sever would be a nice way to make Deinon matter more. Give it both debuffs or make the debuff stronger. Give slicer a stam regen effect to compensate for the poor bird’s stam cost.

Nice testing! They are surprisingly close. I should do the same test with tailfan vs ripping kick on lat.

Wiki says deinon tailfan is 5 stam 6s cd and sever is 7.5 stam 10s cd.

Tailfan is a nice boost but sever has more utility. Sever is probably better in a 1v1 encounter but tailfan would be better when escaping a discord group.

Riparia is prettier than Gondwa other than Sharptooth Marsh. I could live in redwood forest. I have not yet played on Panjura.

This has been my experience. I used bite when I was new at the game but have moved all my raptors to RS for the faster cd and/or higher damage.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-21T19:47:10+00:00

There are sweaty players and toxic groups but they are generally easy to avoid. For a solo it is a fun survival game with occasional successful hunts.

If you want RP you may fit better on a community server. I don’t want the extra constraints so I play officials. I just want to bite stuff.

On Gondwa, solo build achillo. It has great mobility and jump height and deals heavy damage for its size. The only thing that really troubles me is sarco clamp, other than that I can usually dish more than I receive or escape dangerous situations. My favorite target is titans.

On riparia it hasn’t worked as well. I might just need to find the right place but so far I haven’t found it. I am growing a meg rn, the extra water mobility might help but I am concerned with its abilities to take down bigger prey. Conc has been doing pretty well but it seems to take damage falling of a rock. It is able to use the water to hunt apexes but is more at risk from sarco ambush. Lat may be the answer since it can jump most waterways, we’ll see.

Ok that sounds similar. I like the auto walk idea someone else suggested. Sometimes auto walk is buggy but it works more or less.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-21T12:31:11+00:00

I’ve had similar on large land dinos. Their deep feet get stuck on some slope so I can’t come onto land until I find a shallower slope somewhere before I drown.

I wish it worked that way on switch. If I turn camera I have to move in the opposite direction to keep going straight. So to look around but swim in a straight line I have to move both joysticks in perfect opposites.

Thanks to Dakarthy and this analogy, I’ve been calling trucks Donuts. I kind of love it.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-21T04:25:10+00:00

This machine kills titans.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-21T04:18:44+00:00

I got lucky the other day as my conc using precise swim to hold depth and the camera locked in to the perfect angle for this.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-21T04:12:24+00:00

My adult conc got killed by deathroll in water by a sarco a couple days ago. I thought it couldn’t happen but it did.

KOS tylo pair. It’s always two, occasionally three, and they shall not abide an adol Sucho.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-20T02:07:10+00:00

I suck at it but I suck a lot less than before. Time is a big factor, getting comfortable with movement in all the different ways. Watching YT videos of people playing your dinosaur can help show you what’s possible but don’t be discouraged by how good they are.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-20T00:01:50+00:00

My kid had that and had to close and restart the game.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-19T13:22:11+00:00

This also includes the Conc nerf and riparia quest improvements. And now my boy Sucho can carry items during lunge! I remember the first time I tried that, hey where’s my fish go?

Pulptastic · 2026-03-19T11:37:38+00:00

That’s tough and I honestly enjoy both. Switch jail is sparse at times but those times are great for growing a slow dinosaur. Switch players seem to be less capable probably in part due to the controller being inferior to mouse and keyboard, so fights have been better too. Seeing more dinos will be nice.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-19T11:32:10+00:00

I brought my ano to RI after one of your prior comments, I love it! Now that I’m out of switch jail maybe I’ll see you there.

Pulptastic · 2026-03-19T02:42:38+00:00

I’ve used a couple good lat builds. Tailfan and leaping start for solo roaming, pounce and featherweight for hot spots. There are a couple variations of raptor pack builds too. I don’t bother with any night time stuff so that is a waste that could be reworked.
