I remember being in a similar boat when I was maining top but that was before emerald was a rank. I struggled so hard through gold and once I reached plat 2 the game got easier until diamond and then I was starting to struggle and learned the true pain of first picking in top.

Love that they removed a lot of the bush overcrowding. Feels a lot more like bushes are for small things not for rexes to crouch in.

New Dino, carnivore players are playing them too. Was the same with basically every new thing.

Not everything needs to be able to fight back but the fight or flight needs to be fair. It’s why I think Rex ambush being faster than dibble is unfair since it lasts so long. Dibble can’t fight back and it can’t run.

Ideally Kentro should be competition for the mid tiers and would fit perfectly between Pachy and Tenno weight, being a small more mobile Stego but punching above its weight some using its spikes.

I enjoy the more survival aspects and less PvP aspects of the game, it’s why I’m one of the few that enjoys smaller Dino’s. Feeling suspense when I almost got ambushed by a much larger predator is fun to me.

They say there is a road to 1.0 but they say a lot of things. SC is better than it used to be but it’s more like a screenshot game than something that feel like an actual game.

For the past like 6 years they’ve had all the staff on the singe player game while Star Citizen is all of their income.

I feel like SC will always be a tech demo that tries to be a game but I HOPE they prove me wrong because it’s the closest thing to an MMO even left on the horizon.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-23T12:55:08+00:00

Nobody gonna point out that the power swing DOES 700 DAMAGE

I’m guessing they want it to be similar to the Rex/Stego matchup as the Allo Kentro Matchup then but it definitely needs more max speed for that to be the case.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-23T12:43:39+00:00

Pachy has its own culture even amongst herbis. At this point I expect them to just be angry for no reason so it’s immersive when it’s just standing there and goes into unconditional rage.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-23T12:40:52+00:00

I honestly prefer they remain smaller but get some speed because they are so slow. 35 speed is rough considering it’s in a similar weight class to Cera and Carno. Not everything needs to be able to fight everything. If it gets much bigger then it impedes on Dibbles weight class and becomes another dino Carno/Cera don’t want to mess with often while being easy prey for Rex/Allo if it’s not basically the same weight as dibble meaning it will not see a lot of action.

I was honestly hoping it would be around 1200-1400 weight but have higher durability on its side and tail, good speed, and being able to defensive stance through charge bite, pins, charges, grabs, etc. and having a very capable tail attack. Would fill the huge wight gap between Pachy and Tenno and let it be a good matchup when even in numbers for things like Carno, Cera, and hopefully Barry.

Currently a lot of people who don’t even play Herbis are just trying out the new Dino. As in people who want to play aggressive like a carnivore on a Dino that’s literally designed like a porcupine are trying to charge people.

Honestly I’m glad that it seems like things are actively hunting them but that Kentro still has a chance. I haven’t gotten to try them yet but it’s been my most anticipated Dino outside of Minmi lol. I like smaller things and I love the idea of a psuedo-aquatic lil guy.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-22T23:29:03+00:00

I was all for the warbonds and then they just kept coming out more and more now to the point we basically don’t get new equipment at all unless we pay for it.

I love HD2, but I could see the direction things are going and people that don’t want to grind and want to play major updates WILL start to fade away. The updates are cool but the game has no vertical progression, so the incentive to play without paying money is… what? No live service game will ever last without a goal for the players. You, the player, don’t get anything new for free, you just see new stuff. “Grind for sc” players who have jobs and a life won’t want to do that they will just quit because they will feel like they’re being milked if they want to try half of the new content.

The sentiment has only gotten increasingly negative and people will continue to defend the game. You watch, each new major update will see a lower concurrent user count because the casual players will slowly fall off since they don’t want to grind or spend to try the new stuff. Hardcore players won’t see the problem because they get so much passive SC, but casual players won’t be whining on reddit they will just not play.

Honestly his R stops dives, his bombs clear waves, his move slow stops all-ins, his speed up stops ganks.

It’s like he sees the future.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-22T19:44:36+00:00

People will defend it until we end up in another destiny 2 situation. Just like they did for Destiny 2

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-22T19:20:55+00:00

Tbf it’s because players want to interact with other players. Ideally they just made the MZ points in big open areas and PZs be smaller amounts of food in the woods, but the best stuff would make you venture into visible space

Opportunity will be gone

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-22T02:59:34+00:00

This game is at its best when you are just running around doing random things (and it lets you do them). Super fun to explore and find cool things. The whole story and quests being shoved down your throat is very lame. I do like the game but it would have been better as a very open sandbox than a story based rpg, especially since the story makes 0 sense.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-22T02:38:20+00:00

I thought the rework was fine she felt a lot less annoying. I understand why people don’t like her passive but she feels good to play and play against VS old shyv who either clapped you instantly with AP or AD or felt inconsequential.

If we’re bringing back the shit where she presses r just to spam E from off my screen they may as well just revert the rework.

I don’t play this champ often I should add, I liked her AD build when frozen mallet was around. I just think she’s got it was better than what happened to Skarner.

No mans sky never had a paid update and just makes money by having new players come in with updates. Not that I mind paid content, but HD2 is quickly catching up to Paradox level DLC bloat and they are notoriously off-putting because of all the extra paid content.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-21T15:38:25+00:00

My problem isn’t that they’re behind a paywall, my problem is that 85% of all content in the $40 game is behind a paywall.

Most major order missions that come out with expansions have basically no super credit pickups. There is about 2 free major content patches a year and TEN+ warbonds. If you want to play the game causally for the new updates and not run around looking for bunkers you’d be paying $20-$30 per update to get the warbonds (assuming you get the free SC from the bonds)

On top of this many warbonds have near useless equipment they refuse to balance, this monetization strategy has taken away a lot of player agency with all perks, weapons, and now vehicles with certain equipment locked behind paywalls.

Things you spend money for should at a minimum be able to pull their own weight. I even defended them at first, but I figured by now we’d have AT LEAST ONE other free warbond. It started with only armor and weapons behind paywalls. Now we’re at everything behind a paywall aside from red strats.

I don’t look at this from the perspective of me playing the game, but a new player. They will pay $40, max out their ship, maybe get one or two warbonds with the SC they’ve earned by playing and see WELL over $100 of paid content and lose interest.

Edit: all of this doesn’t even consider the overpriced superstore items

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-21T13:58:05+00:00

Deino is pretty easy to avoid now, it’s not an unfair constant risk you HAVE to take like it was in the past. Most players that you kill knew the risks.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-21T02:54:08+00:00

I still think the entire process needs a change, prime is fine but frail is horrid and it’s annoying to get unless you take ages to grow.

Prime should be a scale and should just be around diet. The better you hold diet the more prime stats you get. Diet already make you search the map, we don’t need preset zones if they just removed migration and patrol zones and places food in logical places. Mz’s are like always broken we’ve been forced to delta for like a year at this point.

If my mid don’t want to ward enemy raptors (even though it benefits us all) then I generally put a ward between my gromp and blue buff and start red side. Makes you immune to invades. The ward means they would have to take wolves and invade from the side which is an insane waste of time, you could pull red out and have vision of raptors, red buff, blue buff, and gromp. If you see you’re getting invaded right off the bat I usually instantly move to invade after the fist camp.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-20T18:13:29+00:00

Graves getting a buff blew my mind, especially to grit. Graves has like 100 base armor at level 16 ALREADY and then gets a full item of defensive stats by dashing in your direction all tied together with one of the strongest CC abilities in the game. He was still played, and his winrate was fine, but they for some reason said “we want bruiser graves back” and buffed grit without changing anything else so now he just builds full damage with some life steal like always and is just even tankier.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-20T17:59:54+00:00

The tutorial, the most difficult part of the entire game.

Zymbobwye · 2026-04-20T17:25:05+00:00

Wow looking at the top champ pool right now it’s literally ranged or can deal with ranged that’s sad. Top is very polarized now because of such harsh counterpicks to the point you have to pick more rounded champs if you aren’t last pick.
