Community Crunch 483: Introducting Ossidon!

Here me out:

 

Theri TLC:

• Needs a better model
• Could be very territorial and have a damage boost while around tribe structures 

Giga TLC:

• Buff Post-tame stats
• Should just basically be the evo giga lol

Megalo TLC:

• Could Have two variants (solar and lunar). Solar gets a buff during the day, lunar gets a buff during the night. No debuffs. 
• Gain +100% damage output and glowing eyes on a full moon
• Abberant Megalos immune to surface damage

Quetz TLC:

• Could become aggressive
• Better Health and Damage stats
• Could have some sort of altitude mechanic
• Exponential weight stat increase

As long as giga and quetzal get a TLC, I’m happy.

What else you want from giga?

Essendo qui fin dall'inizio di Ark, sono davvero emozionato di vedere che il Giga riceve un po' di amore. Dopo il primo nerf non è più stato lo stesso!

The giga has received a nerf because now there is the possibility of accumulating the base points with the damage mutations, but it is the same damage that it could do on evolved once it reached the top stats

Crylolophosaurus (Lost Colony)

I couldn't catch all of Garuga's stream, so this is secondhand information ; but from yesterday's video by DarkEdge I gathered that the Cryo will apparently not be ready in time for Lost Colony.

Very territorial ? You can't sneeze in the general direction of a Theriz without being turned into flesh ribbons !

If you only consider the aesthetic aspect, then this applies to almost all the creatures on the island. Throwing away TLC just for the visuals is a waste.  

That's my thing. Maybe further down the line, once the needy have been fed, we will serve a feast to the wealthy dinos like Giga and Theriz

No rage mechanic.

 

Also I can't wait for the Paleoctopus. So many different systems involved I'm bound to find something broken once implemented.

I know you’re against theropods lately, but an octopus?

Cause in real life they can climb on surfaces, fit through tight spaces, can camouflage really well.

Plus, based on the submission that was made, ARKs Palaeoctopus might create potions that could be great utility in the biomes of Gen 1 (EX: a potion that could reduce oxygen consumption while in water or give you resistance to fire).

And you think no one going to use an octopus? 🐙 

So it's basically just a glorified industrial cooker.... But can only survive in one biome... Got to remember you are voting for THE CREATURE... not what it can do.

Yes, I know I voted for the THE CREATURE. Plus we needed something very different than a theropod for example to accommodate Gen 1 biomes even if it appears in just one. (Maybe Bobs True Tales will have creature that accommodates all biomes IDK).

I said “might” btw for the said abilities, so we don’t know how WC will handle it. Maybe they will stay faithful to the submission, who knows. We’ll just have to see.

So far WC has tried to be faithful to the players' proposals, furthermore it didn't seem to me that it has abilities that are so difficult to implement, unlike with the Shastasaurus which gave problems with the saddle for technical reasons 

Not really, The Megaraptor is just a more convoluted Knockout tame. and functions no differently than any other theropod.

You mean the DLC that people keep complaining is "pay to win" content?

No, I’m not referring to Fantastical Tames.

27 minutes ago, arkbanned said:

The Megaraptor maintains its image as a solitary predator, stalking its prey and attacking at the most favorable moments; that's what the players voted for. No one cares if you don't like the Megaraptor, and hearing you scream for months that the votes were rigged was as ridiculous as hearing a flat-earther speak.  

Nah they butchered it. It was supposed to actively hunt players who were alone. Like a troodon but even worse. So disappointed with it.

Wrong answer.

You know what can also work as a solitary predator? literally anything with high enough melee damage... you are never going to change my mind on the uselessness of the megaraptor... Give. Up.

They should have done it with the release of ASA, it makes me furious with the environment such as vegetation, terrain, rocks and other things they have improved a lot the creatures have remained almost the same the feathers and fur have improved but too little and you can see the new creatures are much better just compare theriz and the giant ovirapor two completely different levels  

I'VE BEEN SAYING. I was told there would be some remastering involved...

Will this prove you wrong then?

Edited November 8, 2025 by ChrisBManos

It's not really the weekend if Tyranntx isn't arguing in a Community Crunch.

It's nice to have traditions.

Nope, never. So again I say... You are never going to sell me on Megaraptor not being useless... Give.Up.

 

Also, I really wouldn't mention Raas right now... given he's the reason Theri is leading in the TLC poll, an yet another animal that really doesn't need a TLC.

Did you watch the video though?

Nope, because Raas Clark... Are you going to make me repeat myself? Or are you finally going to get a clue?

Syntac was the person who boosted the Theri votes

 

He was hyping it pretty much all of last night and it went from 20th to 1st because of that

And there you have a it folks,

The reason why this guy is calling Megaraptor “useless” (made the talented Gargua) is because not only has he not seen what it’s capable of, but just doesn’t want to believe it or see it despite what other people say about it even if it is just another theropod, and him not watching video proves it.

Case Dismissed.

That doesn't make it better, guy. That just means the community are mindless sheep.

It’s just the conclusion.

What conclusion? You think just because GARUGA made a thing it's automatically good? Hate to break it to you but that's not how OPINIONS work.

The reason why YOU are calling the Megaraptor “useless” (made by the very talented Gargua) is because not only are you not even looking at what it’s capable of, but you just don’t want to believe it or see it, despite what other people say about it, even if it is just another theropod. YOU not watching the video proves it.

So, in conclusion, there is nothing useless about the Megaraptor. YOU are just simply refusing to see what it's capable of by choice.

Yes, you may have your opinion, but we have our opinions too. 

That is the conclusion.

Case Dismissed.

"There is nothing useless about the Megaraptor", except that literally everything bigger than it can do it's job better... and without any penalties if you have more than one. Not to mention said bigger animals are more readily available, on more maps, and are easier to tame.

Track record proves the majority disagree

 

Your opinions aren't fact either
