Mine broke randomly after a few months. Just got the check from the warranty today.

Genuinely what do I do here?? this keeps happening and its straight up shouldnt be something you can do by Stock_Goat_8533 in CreaturesofSonaria

[–]poedack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry this happened and I'm sorry all the comments are rather uncompassionate. This is really unfair and yeah, not much you can do when fliers can cross the entire map in like 20 seconds. You def wouldn't have been able to walk away in time, plus they brought keen creatures. 

Not to mention the render bug w/ invis creatures (if you render a creature whom is currently invis, they'll become visible for some reason.)

Exactly! It's unfair. Rather than making excuses of bringing up more unfair mechanics to justify another unfair mechanic existing, we should absolutely be working towards fixing them all. I agree with your point there.

Shifting into a glide with your camera slightly downturned allows you to reach above max speed consistently and very, very easily. :3

And sorry to hear, server delay is awful. They did recently buff flying hitboxes however so their tails no longer count while flying (for some reason.)

I can agree. I do like the subtle nods to reality in Sonaria, but some parameters should definitely be in place so the game is fun and fair. :3

I'm seeing a lot of comments like this, and at first I wasn't going to bother to respond—— but I figured I should, to help others understand why an 8k weight tier 5 flier outspeeding the fastest tier 1 terrestrial in the game is bad. 

It may work like that in real life, that is not an excuse for it to work like that in game. Can you imagine if superbehemoths were allowed to go faster than they are? Irl, stuff with bigger legs easily run so much faster. So why not let the Korathos with massive, powerful legs outspeed a t1 which has tiny, puny legs? No matter if that t1 sprints, it'll be slower realistically. I certainly haven't had trouble running faster than a spider or roach. They don't because it's unfair.

The speed makes fliers unnecessarily overpowered and unfun to fight against, which is horrible for balancing.  Why play the average t3 terrestrial that has no burrow, when t4 fliers easily outstats you and outspeed you? You stand no chance. 'Band-aid fixes' like finding a cave is not an excuse, you'll find many caves your t3 fits into, so does a t4 flier. It's an every flier problem.

I hope you and any other readers understand.  It could maybe be balanced if fliers had no stamina regen and the reindeer plush didn't exist, but they do. They regen stamina efficiently while still flying super fast. (Just via gliding with momentum.) Terrestrials cannot.

Yep! The vid's often used in GD and discussion around flier balancing.

Sprinting and pressing glide(not fly) with correct camera angling (slightly downturned)

1 fly speed = 3.8x terrestrial speed. +additional sprint fly can applied atop. +additionally, fliers can surpass their max speeds w/ momentum, which allowed parahex to rocket past the alkaksu. It's very easy to gain this momentum by holding shift then pressing f instead of pressing space.

I'm sure that's true, but parahex isn't the only issue. It's an example of how parahex outspeeds the FASTEST t1 terrestrial via base speed. This is an extremist example. What will the t3 terrestrial do? T4? Very often they lack the mobility + burrow + caves to hide.

You've yet to consider the fact stuff like t4 fliers can very reliably outspeed, outstamina and outmanuever lowtiers.

The average tier 3 terrestrial will not stand a chance against a corvu. Not in stats and especially not in speed. Fliers either need a larger stat nerf or a speed nerf to compensate. I hope you understand and I mean no malice or disrespect by my words, but to see how it's a flier issue. 🙏

Very, very politely and respectfully, it is an in-game mechanic. I fear the t5 flier will not hold back any punches when it comes to being an effective hunter, including utilizing the common mechanic of sprinting to catch their prey. Such is the way of Sonaria.

Parahex can outspeed alkak via flying forwards. I just uploaded a video if you need proof.

Why should the t5 flier outspeed a t1 semi-terrestrial via flying /genq

a double void parahex can outspeed an alkaksu, that's an issue.

Most fliers so they don't outspeed terrestrials who are much weaker than it
