  • @TeshnosFire
    @TeshnosFire 4 роки тому +88

    Seriously though, I am so sick and tired of the devs pandering to the playerbase using the most popular builds! I get that they feel a bit burned from the reaction of the great dying but at some point true fans of the game hope for a bit of artistic integrity. I mean, it always ends badly too. Eventualy even the dinos were removed by several balanced patches and only the flying mains managed to find a new niche.
    Im afraid that by now the devs just realise that even if we all quit en masse whenever a new extintion patch is brought out, we eventualy come back anyway with new builds. So they just pander to the cash cows that are the meta builds, until it seems all other classes are leaving the game. then as soon as the diversity is almost gone, boom, another exinction...
    I bet that the human main is next up on the chopping block, and with it all cattle., cat and dog mains will see a mass exodus as well. bah. I mean look at what the devs have been doing. Humans are objectivity the smartest build that has ever existed, but to 'balance' it out the devs gave humies the trait of selective stupidity and refuses to gives us access to the long-term-thiniking trait...
    I swear this is just a sneaky way for them to eventualy have human mains kill themsleves and most of the current playerbase due to habbitat destruction while being able to pretend they had nothing to do with it. mark my words, them calling the current patch the 'human patch' is just a another smokescreen, soon they'll be nerfed to shit and the devs will pretend tehy hadn't been planning it and it was just emergent gameplay. good thing this shitty game is free I swear.

      "evolutionists often say aliens were the cause for humanities evolution."
      Actually, the idea that aliens have had any involvement with Earth is restricted to the fringes of society; it's really not a very popular notion, mostly because there's no evidence for it whatsoever.
      (Whereas there's tons of evidence for evolution. If there wasn't, then scientists would not maintain that it is true, as the *entire point* of science is to look at evidence first and figure out what's true from that, rather than deciding what to believe first and then looking for evidence to support said belief. Consider the fact that the prevailing scientific notion was once that we were created by whichever deity or group of deities happened to be most popular in a given culture-- the theory of evolution has had a massive, uphill battle from its very inception, and has prevailed because it is exceedingly likely to be true, beyond any reasonable doubt.)
      For that matter, not all people who think aliens have tampered with us are "evolutionists"; you'd be surprised how many of them consider aliens to be the same beings as angels, demons, or both.

    Something interesting that you failed to mention was a seemingly minor but nonetheless impactful decision that separated the therapsids and thus the mammals from other reptile guilds was the decision to keep their hammer and anvil separate bones, giving them a boost to their hearing. The other reptile factions decided that the small boost the decision gave was not worth even the meager cost in evolution points it carried. But by now it has proven that most advanced hearing-based abilities require two-boned ears, leading to nearly all the builds with the best hearing perception belonging to the Mammal guild.

It would start when everything was primordial soup, just lil bacteria looking bros, then it would play out like the game Spore. Maybe every six months or so the game would update with the world's changes until present day, or it changes every couple days that the player is playing. Different servers for different areas, and guilds for species. Oh amd maybe you can only play online with others when you get to your present-day species. You get to mutate your bacteria bro however you want and eventually become an eagle, cheetah, beetle, frog, whatever. I think that would be so fun! Game over when your species goes extinct but you could start over as whatever you want.

Then the Great Dying event occurred and my beloved Gorgonopsid character perished. Since the only Theraspids left were the puny Lystrosaurs and its kin, I got angry and quit the Theraspid faction and defected to the Archosaur faction.
    I was quite angry at the developers for having The Great Dying event occur. What right did they have to take away my Gorgonopsid character from me?!

      he said about how meta evolve, so basically, it's like almost all mmorpg through time.
      it's like how assassin rules a game's meta for a while, and then nerf come and new meta players roll in

    • @StrLab
      @StrLab 5 років тому +57

      The bad thing about this game is the lack of free content. If you want to continue play and remain conpetitive you have to pay (at least in my class -human). Can I switch class? I have read in the forums that the game is F2P for the other classes, but more grinding and maybe skill. Humans can pay for skill. Developers must make the market to sell only cosmetics (shoes-clothes etc) and no P2W (guns-knives) or food for less grinding. Greedy developers...

  • @sarahwinn2453

    This video talks almost exclusively about how the Great Dying patch effected the terrestrial meta, but it's important to remember that the aquatic meta in the Permian revolved entirely around large fish builds, and the devs wanted to make way for the skill trees that would allow reptile players access to aquatic servers, which were rolled out during the Triassic expansion. Although the Great Dying nerfed a lot of terrestrial builds, the biggest nerfs were all on the ocean servers. Several classes and builds were removed entirely, such as trilobites and sea scorpions, and the big fish builds were nerfed enough to allow the new Nothosaur and Ichthyosaur classes to be relevant upon release, to great success, and there was no one class or faction that ruled the aquatic meta during the Triassic, Jurassic, or Cretaceous the way that fish had before then or dinosaurs did on terrestrial servers at the same time.
    Basically, not everything is about terrestrial servers, patches 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 brought much-needed balance to the aquatic metagame, and the devs deserve more credit for this than you're giving them.
