drakorex Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I've noticed ever since the Tapejara came out that all other flyers are no longer able to take off backwards. This is a huge shame. Why make them less maneuverable? I also find that ankys are no longer able to munch rocks (as opposed to swinging their tail). Why make them slightly worse than they were?

CyanicEmber Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The Devs stated that they changed Anky's animation because it's ridiculous for them to be able to bite rocks. (Paraphrase.) I know nothing about the other flyers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont delude yourselves, it was never at any point about the animation being "ridicules". The devs just wanted to nerf gathering and used the animation as a scapegoat. Why make an excuse? Because, they know full well what the response from the community would have been and the overwhelming hate would have forced them to revert the change.

How do you respond when it's something that actually matters? Here's how 99% of the player base responded to that Anky change: "Hmmm, I can't bite rocks anymore. Oh well, now mining the entire map with the platform glitch will take 10 minutes instead of 9". I'm looking forward to them actually nerfing mining by getting rid of the ridiculous platform weight glitch. Nerfs are necessary for game balance, if you don't like them then perhaps you could give some usable, respectful feedback or just not play EA titles?

Critter Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 What's this platform weight glitch? As far as I'm aware everything in an anky, for example, adds to the weight of a quetzal. Items in storage on a quetzal platform adds to its weight too. Where's the glitch >.< I need to know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NyanRose Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I don't recall any flyers other then the Tape's ever being able to fly backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I have never been able to fly backward with any dino before the Tape. As far as the anklo go having that full animation is annoying, but the biting rocks thing was a bit dumb. What they should do is just shorten the anklo animation. Right now it does a sideways swing and then vertical slam down, why does it need to do both of those just have it swing to the side once quickly and be done, would decrease the animation time by about half and make people happy while still making it use the tail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP is referring to the old 'backward takeoff hop' If you held backwards on the left stick while pressing A to take off, an argy or ptera would glide backwards slightly.

The amount of exaggeration some people put into a post, probably thinking it makes there point more clearly, but to me, just borders on the ridiculous. I personally didn't even notice the nerf of the Anky, just kept on using it as it would work, but then I've never used the platform exploit either..

Chrisdavid42 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The backwards takeoff disappeared a couple patches prior to the TapeJar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Backwards take off is gone?!? Oh man. I used to have so much fun with auto turret quetz' with 200% move speed backing up away from rexes etc. Shaaaame. Also made weight glitching a lot easier...

I thinkk someone's either blinded by their own anger or so convinced by their own opinion they're blind to the actual truth. As a point though, I feel like the Tapejara flying movement should be the new standard for all flyers. They'd still retain their usefullness of having multiple seats and the ability to cling to rock surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnaught Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I always thought the anky was headbutting rocks not biting them, either way wish we had some faster animations for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
