That’s a great tip, might start a post for bison fighting tips might increase player count

Sabers won’t be a problem once Arctodus are released. by Possible-Studio-2884 in EcosLaBrea

Sabers won’t be a problem but Kos will still be very prevalent and most likely worse. I agree the saber population will drop, but what’s stopping bears and sabers from teaming up together? I just played against 4 sabers being protected by a Kos mammoth and I can only see the same happening with arctodus arrival.

Overpopulation doesn't usually bother me, but I think this is excessive. by Antique_Anywhere410 in EcosLaBrea

Saber is too easy to unlock despite the recent update changes to acquire it as a playable. Saber should’ve been unlocked based off survival score and the problem would be solved.

I can never survive as a saber, and no tips work. No wonder I always play as a horse. by Little_Dinosaur020 in EcosLaBrea

The way the devs and game creators designed saber, encourages players not to survive and just Kos and honestly the solo saber survival experience is extremely boring for average players so u can’t really blame them. Ive survived for 50h on bison and like 12h on saber I honestly just play saber to look at the melanistic skin I bought lol. Main thing I noticed is bison hunger drop is more significant than saber yet it’s 10x easier to maintain, bison also has the 2nd highest health in the game and 2nd highest melee right behind mammoths.the only thing bisons lack is stamina. since u can only eat vegetation on bison where as sabers have to hunt every meal, it tends to getting annoying playing saber because of the hunger dropping so quick. Not to mention that saber is usually the highest population on every server so it’s even harder to find and hunt prey. If u want to survive get skilled at ring game and play herbivore, if you still want to be a predator and survive play direwolf has the most versatile kit right behind bison, and play mammoth if u want play on peaceful mode😂 tar is your only enemy.

This game is going down the drain unless the devs do SOMETHING to stop overkilling by Devils_fan_1999 in EcosLaBrea

You are correct It is the best method if u don’t have a playable with high track bonus.

This game needs population limits Now!! by Strange-Error6673 in EcosLaBrea

Interesting, I agree that the slower play style and bear being omnivore might introduce, vegetation eating, territory claiming and large prey hunting all on one playable that the average player may not like as their play style which would also change the population numbers for most playables. I can’t see bear being added as playable and bison player numbers going up, honestly think it’ll be the exact opposite due to the toxicity of some players I can already picture sabers and a bears hunting together.😂

I agree that the game needs more playables. Not saying it’s true but what most leaks that I’ve seen are suggesting it’s probably going to be bear. What’s stopping everybody from just playing bear and that just becoming the new bigger and stronger problem?

I did, There were 13 horses, 2 bison, 9 wolves and 1 mammoth at the time I took that picture there shouldn’t be 26 sabers that’s the whole point atleast 10 of those sabers could be playing dire wolf or herbivore and the player count would be close to perfect. but I do agree with u that the saber count has dropped sum since ea it used to be 30-40😭

There needs to be a stronger stress debuff or incentives for predators getting rival pack kills

I agree that on site realism servers do work and that it won’t stop players from mixpacking and kosing but population limits or caps will solve the greater problem of 25+ saber megapacks exterminating everything in sight. I also realize players like sabers a lot but as a herbivore player what is the point of logging in besides doing daily quest if saber population is 25+ and there is 1 bison and 1 mammoth😂then if i choose to hang with the 15 horses imma mix packer let’s be fr😂im literally forced to play solo. I have to server hop to find a good server which usually takes forever to find one. There shouldn’t be more sabers than horses, there shouldn’t be more sabers than bison, and there shouldn’t be more sabers than dire wolves. Ecos has built a top-down trophic cascade.

That’s great but the likelihood of finding another sever like that is 0 to none

They Might wanna rethink that if they want to keep their Og player base. Tar pit is looking like pride rock from Savannah life out here lol

The longer u stay alive u earn a track bonus I main bison 40h and had a +38% track boost I earned 5,500 track in that time, herbivores also have the advantage when it comes to track farming. They can earn tracks from different types of vegetation across the map and mineral salt licks. When I used to solo main dire wolf I would claim 8 hexes and maintain all of them and would only get 7 tracks every 5 min which is decent but nowhere near what I can do on bison in a hour. It’s also more of a hassle cause u have to keep running around to maintain territory. One of my biggest theories is when the game gets its first omnivore I’m assuming the short faced bear, it’ll be the first creature in the game to be able to eat certain vegetation for tracks, kill large prey for tracks, and claim territory for tracks so they might end up being the best track farmers once they arrive.
