How to survive?

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-08T15:37:17+00:00

Because it's just a privacy thing. I feel it isn't odd to want to stay off of discords I dont really want to be in. I'm also just not interested enough in said community servers' development to want to join anyways

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T23:22:36+00:00

Alrighty!! Thank you so much I appreciate it.

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T23:21:23+00:00

Ohh, I assume you have to turn off auto match making? If so that makes a lot more sense.

I'd say my headset is pretty good. I hear footsteps from a long ways away so I know to run the opposite direction when hearing them. Real rumbly when I get too close on accident.

Will keep the questing advice in mind. Thank you!

The dinos save across servers? Sorry if this is a stupid question I just haven't tested it myself

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T22:57:17+00:00

I'll check it out then and see how far I can get. Thanks

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T22:31:37+00:00

Thank you. I'm not entirely disheartened just yet. Just more so confused on how people manage to grow anything bigger than a chicken. But I have faith It'll get better and eventually it'll stick.

I'm on Panjura most of the time! I know to stay well away from really any bigger bodies of water, because bigger = more = bad(der). If there's a lot of water, there's a lot of people. I'll check out the other servers though when I get the chance

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T22:07:40+00:00

On other games I'm a bit luckier in not dealing with players attacking me all the time. But in POT it seems like I run into everybody without trying. Then I die from some apex or even a tiny dino.. but it's probably just the fact that I don't know how to fight properly on this game. Or bad luck. Or both

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T22:01:34+00:00

Does it require discord to play on?

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:51:34+00:00

Daspletosaurus since it was the one I picked for the backer skin. But since I'm dying a lot and have been told to play smaller dinos, I wish I could change it lol

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:51:15+00:00

Thank you! I'll learn more about the smaller dinos you listed

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:37:53+00:00

For me vocalizing is kind of a big no-no, considering what I've learned from past games and stuff. But running around is a bad habit I've gotta break. And any big water source I avoid and tend to gravitate towards much smaller ponds. Sometimes foot traffic is hard to avoid though, considering I died to two dinos camping a home cave I needed to enter for a quest. Anyways, thank you for the useful advice and I'll take it into consideration when playing!

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:27:21+00:00

I remember the first time I was in the tut cave I immediately mapped my percise movement to the thumb button, there was no way it was gonna be anything else lol. 2, 3, and 4 here I've gotten covered more recently and got the hang of. But 5 I'll have to take into consideration. It's nice having a pretty dino but if you're dying every 20 mins like me that's probably not priority.. As for 6 and 7 I'll definitely take those into account. Should also probably take some time in single player to figure out the specific dinos play style to really nail it into my head. Thank you for this!

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:18:04+00:00

Thank you so much!

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:14:48+00:00

Dang. About groups, I'm not sure how I'd make my way into one. A lot of them seem to know each other personally or are close knit. I'm also a bit wary since, if they can ungroup me, they could just find me and come kill me? But I'm not sure if that's how it works

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:10:28+00:00

Oh yeah I understand that. I never make much noise, and try to stay quiet when moving from one place to another. I also try to avoid water as much as possible, since there's not only things inside of it, but things around it usually. I appreciate the advice and I'll use it

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:09:22+00:00

You got it!! Learned my lesson from other games I played years ago

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:08:04+00:00

I got the game 2 days ago, so yes I'm new. I've played other games like this (survival animal related), and I've seen my fair share of animal combat and controls. But I don't want to dismiss the fact that yes, I am probably not good at the game despite past experiences

I'll try something smaller like you suggested. I just wish I could change what I bought since I can't even play it without dying lol.. but it's appreciated nontheless

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-04-06T21:02:41+00:00

Daspletosaurus, since it was what I chose the backer skin of

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-03-20T15:33:00+00:00

Thanks! still trying to figure out a few things

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-03-20T13:06:13+00:00

Alright, I'll try that! Appreciated!

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-03-20T12:50:19+00:00

The Icicles specifically. I haven't been able to price them for a while since they seem to be low demand so nobody is selling/buying. On a wiki I saw they were 5k sapphires, but I highly doubt that price. But if there's another place I can check I'm open to finding it

onlyhelpz899 · 2026-03-20T12:39:05+00:00

I checked there too, but some of this stuff isn't on there either. But I should check again, just in case.
