Lancelot Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 What dino or dinos do you think have a nerf coming their way? Personally I think the Basilosaurus is due for one. I hope it doesn't happen but I think they are a bit too OP at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffyPony Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The Giga probably has at least one "nerf" (by which I mean total overhaul) on its way. Other contenders.... Probably the Dire Bear, maybe the Therizinosaurus. A lot of other dinos need to be brought up to speed, though, so it's hard to say right now if any more than those while wind up receiving adjustments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or Thylacoleos could use some HP nerf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like where the theri is at, it's a more "difficult" tame for everything included.. I think dire bear should probably have a different kibble, further up the tree and taking prime jerky or even mutton to make, they are that good..

7Eleven Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'm honestly of the opinion that dinos should be powered up or given different roles than nerfs for balancing. Players definitely enjoy their old useless dinos suddenly being much better. I can't describe how happy I was when the ankylo (My childhood favorite) got the weight buffs. I actively enjoy getting metal now and it used to be a chore. Still haven't managed to get a mammoth yet but I'm very excited to find that perfect 150 wild one so I'm holding out for that. Before the buffs I couldn't care less. People love feeling like they're getting a good deal, buffs definitely play to that but nerfs give you the opposite feeling.

Before the buffs I couldn't care less. Ankylo was always important, just annoying weight capacity. Prior to the release of castorides, mammoth was the go-to wood gather. Beaver dethroned mammy. The nerf of beavers wood carry weight bonus in the same patch that upgraded mammoths made mammy King again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DankestKhan Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'd say a lot of tames don't need nerfing but buffing right now. Every tame needs some kind of special ability or resistance to make them useful- for example, the Spino and Mosa are vulnerable to eels and jellyfish which is just silly. I'm certain once the game is feature-complete and moves into beta there will be another sweeping dino rebalance/overhaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their HP is probably fine, they need a damage nerf. Currently, they hit hard, run extremely fast, and carry a large amount of weight. Being battle-competent isn't bad, but they hit as hard as a Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagilki Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm completely joking here. But EVERYTHING needs a nerf. Players should be capped at level 5, Dinos should only spawn in at level 10 (except Gigas / Rexes who spawn in at leve 9000). Tamed Dino's should have max weight of 10, and max health of 5. While we're at it, things are too cheap to build. Everything should cast 10 times as much to build. Taming is too short too. Should take at least 10 times longer to tame things.

Cowgirl Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 They really need to get all the content animals in before they go nerfing or buffing anymore. First they had mammoths which were amazing, then they added beavers which made mammoths obsolete so they nerf beavers buff mammoths, why not just wait till it's all added, then we know what does what and nothing new can affect stuff.

LilNastyGurl Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Just make the Rex a carbon copy of the Jurassic Park rex and be done with it, that's what all the kids want anyway. Jurassic ARK: Rex kills everything the video game.

Its not something you can drop with a Bow or Slingshot and just clear out 20 bushes to tame. Well you can it will just take 7 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 if they blanket nerf land mounts like they did flyers thats it ill be done, dont mean to rant just saying they need to balance these things individually not just say raptor it and axe speed and stam in half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naerah(Qc) Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think all land tames speed should be hard capped below the fliers one, so they finally feel faster! All joke aside, i think land tame, mostly the ones that were there in june-july 2015 need a buff, they seems out of line compared to the newer ones. Im waiting on the big dino revamp they said they would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldnt decimate a ground player like they do. They all need a severe nerf and a lower level cap. Its not cool being lv 90 fighting somwthing lvl 400 that one shots you in ascendant gear.

I hope it doesn't happen but I think they are a bit too OP at the moment. This is one of those few times where I think a 'buff everything else' approach is needed. They need to make pretty much anything that's a megalodon or over not be affected by the jellyfish and maybe the eels should affect them but don't agro big dinos again, sharks or bigger. It's too easy to get stun locked on a mosasaur or plesi now and they should have thick enough skin to not be overly affected. Damage maybe, stunlock no. 14 hours ago, PuffyPony said: The Giga probably has at least one "nerf" (by which I mean total overhaul) on its way. Other contenders....

They just need to make it a different sort of rex. Maybe it's faster and does more damage (like 100 base) but has less health, but the current iteration just doesn't work. Either that or keep them the same and just make them un-tamable. Not so much the direbear or therizno though. The therizno seems amazing but the level 60 saddle requirement holds it back. Certainly the direbear is more useful that trikes, stegos or raptors, but let's face it, what isn't? I think it could maybe use a speed nerf, but that's about it.

YUSHOETMI Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The Theri is massively OP atm, yeah their taming process is a pain but once you have one they're just insane. Having a base damage higher than a rex is just silly. I have two of these buggers and honestly i've have far too much fiber on my base and not needed to take out the giga for a meat run in ages as the theri does a better job. Don't get me wrong I love them, and they collect almost everything in bulk, but they're OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards untamable gigas - only for the fear survival factor where the only option is to run...or face heavy losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my bear and she hits like a train (nearly 600 melee), runs like a train moves and can carry a poop load of weight (over 1000) and at 5k hp she can take quite a pounding. Id be upset to lose any of her stats but would understand why they would get a nerf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurbbie Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 1 hour ago, Inzzane said: Max level for Dinos outside of caves is 150, where do you find those mysterious lvl 400 Dinos? Unless you mean the ones that spawn when fighting a Boss Mated pteras can be up to level 400 plus mutations. I guess you havent played againsy an alpha tribe before. All ghe dinos they have are usually above 350 plus mutations. It makes the game a time game instead of skill. How hard is it to stand by a bird and feed it for 3 hours. It takes no skill. Fighting against these things takes alot. Fighting on one takes none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedogowl Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Untameable Giga is intriguing, I mean the wild ones already change loads when you tame them IIRC, maybe give the top tier carnivores a reworking and have the giga as like an angry titan equivalent. Likewise, I do quite like gigas, they just feel like they're in a weird spot, kinda odd, I don't know, hard to put my finger on rly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
