Not a bad idea regarding the pillar spam, I was also thinking about something similar, but it probably wouldn't be enough still.. spammers would just recruit people to get more flags and dominate places to their likings as before. I would introduce time and/or "trigger" gates for structure limits, what I mean is, something like: one could not place more that X foundations/pillars on day 1, but as time goes by more and more could be placed (this can be in-game day or real time), this limitation could be reduced by Y if/when a tribe kills an Alpha creature or boss. This would make bases expand vertically (since there would be no limit on walls and ceilings) instead of horizontally. An other solution could be to make structures that are not connected to a bigger, multi-structure building decay on a much-much more rapid rate, like pillars with a ladder or a foundation only last like a few hours, but foundations with walls+ceilings/roofs+ramps/stairs etc. would last more (IF they are all connected) the more structures connected the longer they would last (up to a limit). OR structure decay could depend on what crafting and storage structures are in/on them, the more advanced structures are placed in a building the longer the building lasts. Dunno, but something must be done with the pillar/foundation spamming situation.. (Agreed on the AFK thing, on launch day there should be a strict limit on how long one can be AFK.)

It's not a dinosaur, it's an arthropod. Yeah, the depiction/art is really great, but just so far removed from reality that it basically turned the animal into a fantasy creature. The abilities are fine tho'. I won't deny, it would fit the map perfectly. If WC pulls a Rhynio again, I think they should just give up asking for real prehistoric animals.

Well, tho Ark is kind of advertised as a dinosaur game, in reality, it's not a dino game.. only 20% of the tamable creatures are dinos (26%, if we include birds).. but some people still tend to cry when someone suggests a new dinosaur.. I wish the game was 80% dinos and 20% other prehistoric animals. Dinos/therapods are the main appeal to me too. +1 from me to this Megaraptor concept.

Love the art and the ability ideas too!

There is something weird and unsettling about octopuses.. I love them.

Absolutely fitting Ab. Loving that dossier pic from SpacePjoes!

Love the Carno's body (one of my favorite dinos), but not the horns, they are freakin ridiculous in this size imo. From the concepts so far, it looks like you are exaggerating certain key features of dinos, please don't do that, stick with more realistic proportions, there is still plenty of room for stylizing/creativity when it comes to other details that are less known to science.
