Jarbo Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Are there any fixes scheduled to reduce the number of Alpha animals that are appearing in game. I've seen up to 6 in one general location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed1227 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Lucky you. Haven't seen an alpha carno or rex in about a week. No one on the server has either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulta Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 why would you want to fix that? Afraid of some danger when going out in the wilds? More alpha's around is a welcomed change to me. I like needing to go out and know that if I don't' come prepared, I might just get killed, and not by a bug for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarbo Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Official Server 60 has Alpha Animals all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngrySaltire Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Isnt the increase in alpha predators intensional, specifically for the alpha predator trophys for ascension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarbo Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 I don't mind Alpha animals in game. But having 3, 4, 5, or 6 in one general area is a bit much. You go to kill one and you get 2 or 3 on you at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleSidedPCB Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 On The Island the only alphas I've noticed in more-than-usual numbers is alpha raptors. maybe a touch more alpha carnos. On The Center it's alpha megalodons and alpha leeds. I'm enjoying the extra alphas, just wish there were a few more alpha rexes around. Now if they would just undo the xp from alphas nerf they did back when people were stacking broth of enlightenment's with explorer notes on dinos (before they nerfed soups on dinos) and let us transfer the apex and alpha items from center to island... what map are you seeing them in groups of 3-6 Jarbo?

dslick Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 seems like the maps have a concentrated overspawn issue where most of the spawns happen in one general area, and then a % of those spawns become alphas. No idea why this happens but I've seen it in Ragnarok where Vikings bay is literally flooded with tons of spawn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yekrucifixion187 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I love the extra Alpha's but maybe that's because I am leveling my dino's. I walked out of my base by Draco Cove and found 3 Alpha raptors. my thought was yay. Doing Deep sea drops the other day and saw my first first alpha Megalodon. Went into the easy water cave, found a 180 Alpha Mosa (took like 7 minutes to kill with two 400% melee Mosa's, lol). All welcome to me. Now I need to see me Moby, Alpha Squid, and some more Alpha Rexes and Carno's. Been stomping all around the mountains looking for Rexes. On scorch got to fight my first alpha deathworm (Giga for the win) and my first Alpha Wyvern. I enjoy the extra xp and challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dslick Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Just work together with your server to remove them in newbie areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdaddy99 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Since the update, I've only seen 3 alpha raptors and 1 alpha carno.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatInFire Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Much more alpha raptors and alpha tusos on Island map. I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkasaurio Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 They intentionally doubled the alpha spawn rate, and I think the big groups of alphas are pretty much a result of that. A lot of it will depend on your server too. If players with the means aren't actively hunting or willing to deal with alphas they tend to build up in areas with mostly new players because those players can't (or don't think they can) kill them. On my server there's a pack of 4 stuck in one of the river valleys leading to the beach, killing everything that goes down there, it started with one level 95 and that girl over a week ago that's still down there, she's just added to her crew. My thought is they're spawning in then never dying, so eventually all the raptors in an area end up alphas, or they're coming in by chance from other areas of the map and getting stuck due to the geography of the map. The problem only compounds itself, as most of the players in that area might be able to handle one, but trying to take 4 at once seems like a death wish. Yes, I could clear them out, but no one has asked and I'm sort of curious to see how many end up there. I really like the addition of more alphas too, but like so many other improvements with the game, it adds fringe problems. A cool fix would be if 2 alphas of the same type are in close proximity they'd fight to "establish dominance." That way we'd avoid situations like "Raptor Death Creek" on my server while keeping a higher number but dispersed alphas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmE Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Still haven't seen an Alpha Leed on the Island since they were implemented, coming from a person with over 3k hours exclusively living in and around the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen up to 6 in one general location. There's basically two responses here you will get 1. People without a good imprinted giga will agree that there's too many and something needs to be done. they will agree six alphas are too risky to engage.. bad things could happen. 2. People with a giga over.. say 450 melee are now wondering which server your on and why they can't get that on theirs.. you may even be asked before the thread is done. There might even be an individual who actually comes to visit your server to investigate what exactly is different so they can change that on theirs.

NLShep Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 All the alphas are awesome! great for leveling up boss rex so that they can keep getting killed on bosses that are way too difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another like me, we're a few or what? And, yeah, if you go to the sea, I don't know if I'm the only but I always see more Alpha Mosas than Mosas, and no Alpha Leeds, and this has been happening to me in 3 servers already.

We aren't a few. My group controls 6 servers, and plays on 8. We have 6 Islands between us. None of us have ever seen an Alpha Leed on the island, and we're probably 200 people on a bad day.

He brought up how we were a "Few" and I was pointing out that I was speaking for much more then a few people. As far as megatribes go, we are on the small side.
