... That's it? More mod crap, wonderful.

Give the gigantoraptor the ability to feed babies.

Doesn't it already? I had babies in the saddle and lost no food at all.

A bit underwhelming if you ask me... it's March 1st, the center got delayed and we haven't heard about Scorched Earth's release yet. If Scorched gets delayed, I seriously worry about the future of this game. Even the big youtubers are going back to Evolved because the Ascended content just isn't there. Boosted rates and a new official mod is neat, but it won't keep the game alive.  Neither will cross platform mods. 

Might not be the most interesting CC for everyone but I am happy to see my Custom Cosmetic being accepted for officials

dino mod, mod spotlight, mods for all!

imagine this game if it was properly looked at

 

good crunch but would be nice to move away from the mods for a bit. I was hoping to read about the maps coming out. I really really want to play something other than the island but i cant justify a paid mod yet. Ive found myself playing a lot more ASE than i thought i would. Cant beat ragnarok! such a fun map and the lair of the mask is still my number one spot in the game. I just wish they would bring it to asa already!

So many crunches dedicated to other people’s work, and so very little of your own. Great work WC. As a game developer, you do plan to develop your game at some point?

what do you mean worthless?  gigantoraptor is game changing

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am so happy with how Gigantoraptor looks, acts and plays. Truly the best I could've asked for in terms of a faithful execution of my submission!

 

For those still going "I want my maewings", I feel like it's important to mention the actual abilities of the big chicken (not the cryptic hype building teaser included in this crunch):

1. Gigantoraptor can feed babies, you just need to have them be in the saddle baskets, and they'll eat food right outta its inventory. Gigantoraptor is more single target while maewing is more of a trough, but it's still better than nothing!
2. It can also incubate eggs like an egg incubator! Capacity is limited once again to the saddle baskets, but by placing fertilized eggs in its inventory and clicking on em, you can transfer them to the baskets
3. IT IMPRINTS YOUR BABIES!! While it may not be in the same way as my submission, I honestly find it way more fun and rewarding. Taking your babies on a little murder spree, watching their adopted parents fight, nets you an instant 30% imprint progress. And when Desmodus comes out, sanguine gives another 30% too, which means that Sanguine Elixir + Gigantoraptor would give you a relatively easy 60% imprint
4. Imprint refresh is back! Should be well known enough by now, but just for people in the back, G-raptor's call refreshes imprint requests!

Whatever your stance on big chicken, I love it, and that's more than enough for me! Just feel like not enough people know the full extent of the Battle Nanny's abilities.

ALSO TSW MENTIONED LETS GOOOOO

At least make the Gigantoraptor carry 4 babies, this would improve the utility of this creature.

I seen people say that it only feeds them when you're in the saddle with the babies, but if i don't have to sit on the saddle then i'm fine with that.

Maybe we should have 2-3 "community crunches" and then a specific "dev crunch"...and the dev crunch contains ONLY official wildcard content (no fluff, no mods, no art work). I mean I love mods, but I'm starting to hate these nothing-burger crunches. Why do you guys spend more time on showing off mods/art than offical content? It's weird.

I don't understand why WC can't at least release some screenshots of Scorched(or the Center) to hype people up for the next maps. It's only a month away, they must have something they could show off surely?! Not like it would take a lot of time/effort to just snap a few pretty screenshots/vistas from the new maps for each crunch.

Or tell us more about how the paid DLC sister pack is going to work with official, servers, how much its going to cost, etc.
...again one month from release (unless that's also being delayed).

 

PS. Gigaraptor is neat 9.5/10 for looks, 8/10 for abilities, 1/10 for taming
taming is awful revert your 'no trap' hotfix & let people play how they want; gimmick tames are just tedious

And the animated series in the google search says a release date and in this nothing

Where's the crunch?

Bugs we can handle but the lack of content is killing the game. 
Hurry up and do your job. 

Fixxx the Gigaraptoorrr!!! Im not able to tame at all . Im doing everything to get a level 145 and rendering in and out and she wont attack me in the nest!! Shes bugged they shoulvde left it as it was. This is annoying 😤😤

First still congrats and I'm glad you're happy with how the Gigantoraptor turned out. And I agree with all your points, sure it ain't the Maewing but it still does things the Maewing can't which makes it different on its own. From how I see it, it takes aspects of the Cryopod Imprint request re-roll, it serves as a early/mid game Egg Incubator until you can either get enough Air Conditioners or once Gen 2 comes out with the Egg Incubator, it's feathers allow you to get a higher chance of passing desired stats to their babies, it gives a 30% imprint to babies after feeding the babies' bloodlust. And most importantly, it's a rather quick mount that can glide like a Terror Bird. Remember everyone, just because it's a community voted creature doesn't mean it will be a Giga-Tier Dino, but rather a fun creature to use.

I want to see more player builds featured in the CC's Photo Mode section, please.
There's already more than enough pictures of the dinos and landscapes everywhere else we look.

No es así? Tuviste bebés en la silla y no perdí comida en absoluto.

Gigantoraptor is bad if you put the babies in the basket it does not feed them passively and they die and if you are mounted you realize after a while the food does not go down from the gigantoraptor's inventory What he has to say what he does. They put a dino in and don't explain anything, people have to look at what that dino does and how it's done. Their thing is to feed babies like the maewing baskets And don't waste time on nonsense.

Game changing for a portion of the playerbase.
Personally I play on an unofficial server where it can serve the purpose of helping breeding stats together with the plucked feathers.
The 10% dmg reduction is nice but we have dinos mutated way beyond the lvl where we need to find and tame a high lvl gigantoraptor, lvl it up and possibly even need to mutate it a couple times so it's high lvl enough that it can handle our babies. The time it takes to do all this we better just mutate a couple HPs into our dinos and we would achive about the same thing

We know when Scorched is supposed to come out, 1st of april. The question tho is if it's going to hold.

If it weren't for these mod spotlight things, the crunches (and game) would be empty. That's why Wildcard is so obsessed with them.

Crunch Rank: 2/10.
