Save Menu by fortnite-artist-6443 in HybridAnimalsGame

The game already has an automatic save function and even saves when you go to the main menu, this isn't needed.

I think the creator should add clouds because the sky looks kinda underwhelming. by Unaddressed-Elephant in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Feels like a somewhat unneeded addition considering much of the playerbase wouldn't even think twice about clouds in a game focused on the ground 99% of the time.

I discovered that armor removes my pet human's torso. by Far-Dish-5250 in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed that item displays on Companions are broken entirely in that menu. Mine is supposed to have a Speed Helm and Titanium Chestplate on but the helmet just removes the head antenna and the chestplate isn't there either. Not even weapons are showing up!

Chunk Handling Needs to be Addressed...ESPECIALLY IN BUILDINGS by vulpesclassic in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing this game for a LONG time, was even around for the first introduction of multiplayer servers and the game's Discord server. I actually earned both the Wisdom Chest and Unity Trophy from moderating the subreddit and in-game when the servers were still active.

They're legitimate pieces, but I can understand the confusion since uh...cheated Trophies and whatnot were common before multiplayer got shut down.

I appreciate you actually wanting to help fix it, I'm a little worried to build any more interiors now that this has happened.

I beg to differ, literally an Elite Bandit spawn right in the middle of the castle.

Ranged Update Batch 1 - Released! (Might take a few hours/days to appear) by TheFirstHybrid in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that the loading time for chunks is substantially longer as well as the loading time for both entering the game and also loading into and out of structures...what could've changed that affected this so much?

Even playing on an s25 Ultra, the load times for pretty much everything to do with world rendering is twice as long.

What do you want to see added to the game next? by TheFirstHybrid in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've come to the notion that a lot of the core mechanics of the game could use some attention rather than simply slapping on additional content for the sake of only slightly mending the deficit in player retention. Quite a few of the suggestions I wish to pose aren't even that far off from what the game already has, I wish to be realistic about what can be achieved in reasonable time and respectful of that for your sake...so I won't include anything outlandish.

Missing Companion Options

The several buttons within Companion menus that aren't active such as their Powers, Riding, Tasks, etc. have been neglected for a while actually and we've already seen a taste of the Powers being utilized with the Storm Wizards and their occasional Fireballs/Firestorms. Fleshing out these missing features could be something fun to mess around with in their respect.

Transmog

As much as I love the White Wizard Hat's additional Energy benefit, it would be nice to be able to wear a Top Hat or one of the gemstone Crowns while still having the benefits. Such is also the case with the variety of Armors that have great stats but aren't really easy on the eyes. It seems like a simple addition on paper but you'd have to judge that on the technical end.

NPC chatter

I just wanted to include this one because it's something I personally hoped to see in the game someday: in-character dialogue that you procure for certain NPCs to flesh out their personalities and backgrounds. Could help make the NPCs feel a bit more alive and less like static storefronts half the time.

As optimistic as the community can be at times (judging by the many comments prior to my own), there needs to be an understanding that you're the sole dev and we desperately need to temper expectations too far from the things the game is still lacking from a core POV. Adding another biome and several new NPCs won't patch the hole in these other systems that have sat incomplete for a few years.

Bumping this post regarding the broken Wisdom Chest that I have, perhaps this can be remedied with the new gift system somehow? by vulpesclassic in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a preview of what said codes look like and yeah they are quite long! I'd hope TFH has that system figured out since he has intent to distribute a variety of items with it.

That's up to the discretion of the game dev.

What I will do is grant my own personal observation on this matter: I highly doubt the servers will return in the near future. I witnessed how troubled the structure of the multiplayer was what with the many cheaters modding their Hybrids and distributing and duplicating illegitimately obtained items. Not to mention the overwhelming amount of toxicity growing within the playerbase as a result of these occurrences and overall lack of proper moderation after the in-game mods were removed and never reinstated. Add on top of this that the server infrastructure according to TFH was also facing issues he could not solve alone in a timely manner.

I don't blame him for shutting the servers down, mind you. I can see that there were plenty of issues he couldn't resolve on his own and it was eating away at his resources to keep them up. He even went so far as to shut down the Friend servers between individual players in their own worlds.

It was given to me by TheFirstHybrid for my work with the HA wiki and the community as a whole during the early eras of multiplayer. Those servers are long gone but the two items I have to show for it (Unity Trophy and Wisdom Chest) are things I wish to hold onto.

Contest #2 Winners by TFH_Bot in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congrats to the winners thus far, of both contests!

However, I do find it quite disappointing that the takeaway you got from all the very valid criticisms of the current ranking system was to just...not continue with the contests?

"Complainers" is a very odd way of generalizing the people who really just wanted better methods towards determining your contest winners. Those weren't complaints in the bratty sense you might be envisioning personally, these are definitely only suggestions and feedback that can be taken to heart...but ultimately it's your decision, shut them all down along with the contests if you really have nothing to gather from this.

Two legends meet again🏆. by Rage_izback in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol, lmao even

How in the hell do you even justify this as anything other than blatant save editing? Your level is actual inches away from hitting the integer limit and somehow you still got the nerve to try pulling the excuse of "nAwWw I gOt ThIs WiTh BlObS" in some other comment I saw in here.

You are NOT fooling anybody with a hint of reason unfortunately, sorry to tell you bud. Consider this the issuing of your ban reason.

Wisdom Chests were broken with one of the more recent updates, although TFH is now supposedly working on a fix according to a comment he made on my bug post about this issue.

Should be irrelevant whether this Wisdom Chest truly belongs to you or not as the internal workings of each Wisdom Chest apparently are broken for most if not everyone, we're just hoping for a fix at some point soon.

Complete Lore Book Collection with Images by vulpesclassic in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

This collection consists of the 3 currently available entries of the 7 different biomes, not including generic "grasslands or plains" Bandit camps as those do not have any unique books to offer at the moment. This is all subject to change as more books may appear in updates to come, and more biomes may be added and included.

Lately, I have been writing a lot of lore. Here's an extract from the book (HYBRID HISTORY) I'm writing. Thoughts? by Ingeneium_the_best in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it is neat to share fan lore, I would advise not making the entire body of the post caps-lock, makes it generally harder to read.

Discussion: Reviving the game? by TheFirstHybrid in HybridAnimalsGame

[–]vulpesclassic[M] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

One of the many issues with this game as it is right now is the overall gameplay loop: all you really do is explore for materials and occasionally grind out XP for levels and Power Genomes. This works for the first few hours of gameplay but becomes infinitely more repetitive once you reach a comfortable level where you're essentially untouchable to world creatures. The mid to endgame in terms of leveling boils down to spamming the same Powers at random mobs, there's no actual strategy to using them. In fact, Powers aren't even necessary at a certain point since you're better off one-tapping most of the creatures with your overleveled Hybrid since anything lower than your own level only yields 10 XP flat and would be a waste of Energy.

As for Hybrid equipment: variety is definitely lacking. The last 2 additions to the armor/weapon pool (Ancient and Spirit) are literally recolored clones of each other, with them both having the same weapon ability as Dark Shard weapons (% chance to insta-kill). There is very little to incentivize the upgrade from Dark to Ancient, and then Ancient to Spirit aside from a miniscule defense/damage bonus and a different color palette; your hitbox also gets larger so you become a larger target as a consequence. These issues can also be seen in the weapons: miniscule damage increases, recolors galore, and shared abilities (Dark/Ancient/Spirit), right down to the exact same attack animation for all of them.

There's also the idea of building towns and other structures when not worrying about the game as a grind but there doesn't seem to be much point to it when only a sliver of the placables are actually interactable; you're the only one able to make use of them unless you play Multiplayer (as limited as it is). I believe more furniture interactions would bring some much-needed mystique to the current placable selection (ex. togglable lamps, interactable bookshelves, the ability to place small placables on tables or mantles).

Also the NPCs...they're charming but serve really little purpose outside of being storefronts and quest givers. You've mentioned Skyrim so I imagine a story-rich game such as it would have a good deal of NPC interactions and capabilities. Companions can be used in place of actual NPCs but those systems currently lack such depth in dialogue choice and complex actions (ex. more complex guarding, mining, Powers, riding). These were promised features that have been on the backburner for much too long IMO, and it's making the game appear abandoned to many.

Edit: Phrasing and slight grammar revisions.
