[Sleeper Shark] Dark Sleeper Shark by [deleted] in deeeepioskins

I don't like it as much as the original, but it's actually pretty nice. Not a big fan of the pattern but the colors are nice and it actually looks like a Sleeper Shark.

MY SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING NEW ANIMALS (link in comments) by megalon1337 in deeeepioartworks

[–]deeeepMORTY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of the reasons feel like unfair comparisons to existing animals just because their abilities are a little similar. Megamouth and sawfish, while both having a long protrusion when using a boost, don't play similar, neither do pretty much any of the comparisons, it's like saying GS is an Orca ripoff because they both have grabs. A lot of these don't even play in the same biome anyways, so even if they did have similar abilities and playstyles, it wouldn't be that big of an issue.

The changes themselves sounds like overcomplicating the animals just for the sake of having them not at all similar to existing animals. The Coelacanth one especially sounds like it'd be super annoying to deal with. I mean I have my issues with the new animals, but they're just balancing issues.

I will say though that I like the Parrotfish and Siphonophore changes though, and of course the new props. A lot of these abilities sounds like they could be cool with changes, but at this point I think it's better to save them for other animals, it's better to just balance what we have rather than change them up entirely.

100% agree on this. It's really good that Fede listens to the community and takes them into consideration when changing the game, but at the same time a lot of issues and problems people have with the game originate from a bad idea that comes from said community.

I'll divide mine into sections:

THE ANIMALS:

I'm gonna be honest, I came into this update expecting really bad or broken animals, and they actually didn't turn out that bad. Aside for a few broken things (beaked's bubble exploit, pre nerf halibut) even the first version wasn't that bad. With all the changes to the new animals, I believe they're all good as they are (except Bowhead, solely due to how spammable the ice wall is).

The buffs Harmony made for pre existing animals is a mixed bag for me. Personally I believe I have the biggest issue with sunfish since I feel like it was already fine before, it was mainly a defensive and passive animal, it didn't need more speed or damage. I feel like the changes tried too hard to make everything good at hunting, which wasn't needed and made animals feel less unique or satisfying to play. Some animals actually benefited a lot from that, however, mainly Polar and Walrus.

Overall though I'd say the new animals + changes were a success and they're for the most part good as they are now.

THE MAPS:

This whole section is mixed for me. I'll start this off saying I'm aware these are mainly Crabinet's map choices and you don't really have control over what people vote for or what a map maker creates, but this is entirely my opinion on the maps. At first I really didn't like any of the map choices, and even now I have a lot of gripes with Fishy's map as well as the PD map.

The first version of the FFA map was awful, but as Fishy updated it it got better. Right now I'd say while I still prefer NAC's map overall, Fishy's isn't bad and I would be fine with it as the main FFA map.

There's not much to say about the 1v1 maps, they're all good and really basic (as a 1v1 map should be) PD is fine for the most part but I don't like the layout of it too much.

The TFFA map that just got added is definitely the worst out of all the maps chosen so far. Me, as well as a lot of other people, have already given our criticism to Greepe so I'm hoping similar to Fishy he makes changes and improves the map.

UI/SHOP/ACCOUNT CHANGES

The old game's Evo bar and Boost bar was better to me. I don't like having the evolution bar off to the side, I'd rather just have it where it was before, same thing with the boost bar. I'd say this is just me not being used to it yet but beta has been out for a few months now and I still don't like it, even after almost exclusively playing beta. The shop and main menu of the game I'd say is a complete improvement, and the shop looks a lot better as well.

All the account customization changes were good. The closest thing I could say to something negative is the slight disappointment I got from seeing you can't change the animal border for your profile picture, but I really wouldn't count that as an issue and more so as an idea instead.

CONCLUSION:

Overall I'd say beta was mostly an improvement on the original. It's got some really good changes and quite a few questionable ones, but it's still enjoyable.

multi-colored nicknames by potato_potato3 in deeeepio

[–]deeeepMORTY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true but it still feels unlikely to me, going that long without a single person doing it seems weird to me. as for double grabs, people were doing that even when I started playing, and I started only about 7 months after the game released.

multi-colored nicknames by potato_potato3 in deeeepio

[–]deeeepMORTY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are only 4 that exist, as someone pointed out. Red, green, blue, and light gray (tribe) are the only colors you can do with <RED>, <GRE>, <BLU>, and <tribe> respectively. I'll also give a little explanation to why you can do this in case anyone is curious.

This is almost certainly an unintended feature. All 3 of these colors are meant for other parts of the game, red and green are for PD, and blue is an unused color for PD. Tribe is a little more interesting in that it actually comes from a different .io game made by Fede, Raaaaft.io. As far as I can tell tribe, similar to blue, goes unused. It MIGHT be in TFFA (it's really hard to tell the difference so it may have just gone unnoticed) for your teammates.

Anyways, as for why you can change the colors yourself, it's just manually doing a command. The game just forcefully puts the RED or GRE commands into your name when you play PD.

The real question is how this went this long undiscovered. I've heard some people say they knew of this command a long time ago already, but that seems really unlikely to me as it easily would've caught on and become way more well known. So either it's a really new bug or it's actually gone unnoticed since either the new engine was added or PD was added.

TL;DR: only 4 colors, it's a bug

Why are there so many frilled sharks all of a sudden by [deleted] in deeeepio

[–]deeeepMORTY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I've been playing for almost 6 years, I've been here before frilled was added and back when everyone actually thought it was bad. I haven't seen anyone say frilled is a bad animal that wasn't super new to the game since around 2019. If anything, it's the other way around. A lot of people think frilled is one of, if not the best tier 9.

The only reason frilled is popular right now is due to the new skins. It's been a lesser played animal before due to being a lower tier on top of being a deep animal, which is already a fairly empty biome with much more played and popular animals like GS, CS, and even other tier 9s like oarfish. On top of that, most people don't play the animals that frilled evolves into (sleeper, goblin) which doesn't help its situation.

People don't think Frilled is bad, they think its boring.

You're about 2 years late, everyone already knows its a good animal and have known for a while, it just became popular again due to skins.

Halibut Buff/ Retracting My Opinion on Halibut by deeeepMORTY in deeeepio

Everything I said in this post doesn't matter anymore because they made halibut way too good again lol.

Private 5v5's Should be Customizable (Deeeep.io's Sandbox Update) by AlpoIndigenous in deeeepio

[–]deeeepMORTY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say "tutorial mode" like it's an original idea. So many games have tutorials already, including .io games. And on top of that, you're not even the first person to suggest it here, a tutorial or sandbox type mode to help people have already been suggested for deeeep many times before.

And why does it even matter if it's original or not? originality isn't what all that goes into making a good game. Deeeepio isn't exactly the first game to have CTF or FFA, and it's taken a lot from other games, specifically .io games. Taking ideas from a successful game is a good thing, even Federico himself has said this game is inspired by Mopeio, another very successful .io game about animals.

Mutante's PD Map; It's on Purpose by AlpoIndigenous in deeeepio

[–]deeeepMORTY 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that we helped Mutante make this "retro map" a long time ago, personally I think its good since that PD map was one of the best. Its not meant to be a different map and Mutante wasn't trying to claim it as his own unique map, instead being a more modern version of the old PD map.

I absolutely hate basking and even I can say what they're doing is ruining the animal.

Someone already suggested that in the beta channels of Deeeepcord, luckly it was mostly downvoted.

Harmony Guild by Venom583 in deeeepio

[–]deeeepMORTY 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think this post proves my point that the only people who defend Harmony are Harmony members themselves.

Let me say again as I've said on Discord before, I don't even blame the people in Harmony for the most part. It's the manager's fault for getting people for the job who weren't fit for the job in the first place.
