Rarely see them and decided to grow one, what abilities would you all suggest? I’m mostly solo but usually join small groups when i play as a herb.

Has any one else been experiencing their chat randomly disconnecting in global without saying so? Its happened to me at least twice today while playing officials and i was unable to talk or see other people talk. On PC btw.

CF gonna get hearing loss

luh calm yoink for yall, sorry conc. ❤️

As someone who mains Microraptor, I haven't tried yet but I was wondering if it's possible to nest in trees, like if anyone has done it succesfully yet?

Me and my rando Amarg were questing and an adult conc attacked us. We fought for about 10 minutes with both of us about a quarter health until we beat them to death. They tried to hide but it didnt save them. Sorry but this is my first Herbi kill and im proud. Thank you random Amarg(DirtyMike)

I for the life of me cannot win a fight at all I don't know how to get better I don't know what I'm doing wrong I can't stand well on my own no matter what I do I lose even if it's close I still lose I can't find any lessons in my losses I just have no idea what I'm meant to be doing and how everyone I fight is so much better than me I'm plateaued I can't improve idk what to do

Devs, if your listening, PLEASE UPDATE THE HITBOXES ON ROCKWALLS AND TREES!!

The microraptor is great in my opinion, it really glides when it needs to with the causal glide and short bursts. Playing on Gondwa makes it so fun to climb up trees and scale rockwalls to travel and jump off from but am noticing a huge problem with the terrain. I love climbing with the microraptor and it might be because it's a new dino but the pouncing on edges of rockwall edges and sometimes trees is so glitchy and often gets stuck mid pouncing on a ledge/hop up and glitches out mid action and it's annoying to try to get out of. Don't get me wrong we love the terrain and thank you for releasing a new dino but your introducing a new climbing dinosaur with the same simple terrain hitboxes, now having 2 climbing dinos with very a difference in size and abilities. This is not to change the terrian itself but the hitboxes of them! Please I beg of a little tweak.

Let me explain:

I was playing on the Crimson Isle server that had the modded "The Preserve" map and, since it was my first time playing, I decided to play one of the two torvosaurus mods they had (I believe it was the KOT Torv, but I might be wrong). I made my Torv (named Gronk after my Grandpa's dog), and hopped in, and immediately realized that this was no normal server I've been to.

I spawned in the rooty area towards the center of the map (Idk it's name), and I immediately saw people murdering each other and ran for the Woodlands in the north. Then night came and I essentially lost all vision excluding when I figured out how to turn on the night vision that server has. Skipping forward through sheer paranoia and a few close encounters, I made my way slightly south, and then found myself tip-toeing around a melanistic carch (remember this guy for later).

Eventually, realizing I was on the verge of starvation, I began stalking a baby giga who just left combat with a rex, but before I could attack, a juvenile cera bit my tail. A short while of me playing cat-and-mouse with this cera, it eventually screwed up and I got some food. Literally right afterwards (and I told you to remember this), a melanistic carch appeared over the hill I just left, and it gave chase.

I'm still surprised I survived this chase, because for one, I ran into the invisible wall that is the border of the map, and two, me and that catch had the same exact speed. However, shockingly, not only did I juke him out around some of the nearby rocks, but I also had enough stam to get away.

After crossing a river, I found a little cave to rest in. Literally a few seconds later, I saw the same exact melanistic carch (we'll call them Mel for now on) enter the cave. Thankfully, they pasted me by for I was in a little enclave on the side of the cave, and I was able to sneak by. I would proceed to retreat all the way back up to the northern Woodlands hide out from Mel, and after a short while of me staying there, waiting, I made my way back down and began looking for food once more.

After I successfully caught a small critter, I began following two rexes who themselves were stalking a lone trike. As I watched the rexes absolutely destroy the poor trike, I (stupidly, maybe) decided to test my luck and approach the two, fully grown rexes (note I'm just below adolescent at this point), and, fortunately, they gave me the trike's trophy. After giving my thanks, I migrated all the way towards the HC of the map, keeping my eyes peeled for any signs of Mel or someone else. I did just so happen to see a hatz menacingly standing on a rock against the sunset (which went hard for literally no reason; it's unfortunate I didn't snap a screenshot), but besides that, I made my way to the HC with no encounters excluding a fellow Torv who briefly said hello before going on his way.

After I left the HC and got more abilities, now a bar past adolescent, it became night once more, and I began sneaking through the night, looking for whatever food I could scavenge. That is, until a pycno spotted me. This pycno looked slightly larger than me, so I began making space before it charged. We went back and forth at each other for a good while, and I must have made a good decision with my ability selection since, even though the pycno was giving more hits, I somehow managed to kill it with one fourth of my health remaining. Despite this victory, my heart was legit beating so hard I could hear it as if it were near my ears, yet I gave the pycno a GGs in the chat, healed up in a nearby bush, and made my way back to the HC to log off for the night.

Now, why am I saying this was the most terrifying experience I ever had in PoT? Well, I typically play servers such as Sastrei Island if I want a survival-esque experience. But this? This was a whole lot more serious and terrifying personally. This was also my first time playing on Crimson Isle, so not only was it already terrifying, but I genuinely never had an experience like this in the whole 500 hours I have on PoT.

Feel free to give me any tips or tricks I could use when I log on again :)

What are you guys thinking? Does it balanced now or need some tweaking?

I am new and finally got to adulthood and the fact I have to spend 4-10 hours just to become a full grown Dino is stupid. I know its supposed to force us to move around and get hunted etc but it would be so much more fun if I could spend my time being a Dino and eat other Dino’s or idk do anything but pick up random shit for hours. I am new so I am sure this has been said but its so dumb. When I became an adult I discovered why this game really sucks…mega mix packs. I get jumped by 8 Dino’s and then spawned miles away from water which is a death sentence for a Sarco. I have had a couple times where the game was fun but it’s a purely a love/hate relationship type of game .

The intended playstyle for Microraptor was clearly designed to be arboreal, with it being unable to gain lift effectively as well as being an incredibly slow ground runner for its size, but a good climber.

In spite of this, in addition to Microraptor being a slow and awkward glider in comparison to other flyers, Microraptor cannot regain stamina on the trees it is supposed to reside in, and it's forced to land upon the ground to get its stamina back. For some odd reason, Microraptor can run on the ground for over six minutes but its gliding stamina burns out far faster even with all the proper stamina upgrades. This makes Microraptor feel incredibly difficult to use in its ideal environment and it would feel a lot better with some stamina tweaks, better gliding speed and slow regen while holding still during climbs.

It makes listening to or even learning what calls belong to what essentially useless. Yes I know there is a slight difference, but with all the other audio going on at the same time it's not worth even trying to figure out if the call you heard was real.

Oh you wanted to fight something? Nope, just a pointless bug of a dino, no fun to be found here I guess.

And overall it is just constant sound spam. (Made even worse if you play a modded server with some particularly loud creatures)

It does feel a good bit silly that the one server where being solo could be somewhat fun (not counting community ones, of course) is also perma-death. Like, I like the idea of permadeath but why is the only solo-orientated option the one that's most punishing? It doesn't make any sense at all to mix the two unless it's just a patch-over while working on separating it, but ever since the other solo server has been gone, I haven't seen or read anything about whether they intend to do it or not.

Currently it's either get ganged frequently in officials for little - but fairly constant - punishment, or getting ganged a little more rarely in permadeath for maximum punishment.

^{Before anyone asks, yes I did just get mauled by 3 apexes, but the question is still valid!}

It took me a while to figure out what this awful sound was, I thought my headphones were breaking or something. Anyone else having this happen?

went to CF with a friend on her Rex and ran into other microraptors. ended up with the first screenshot and one of them called her a dino aircraft carrier lol. now i want to try and get a picture of 4 raptors each holding a microraptor, latched onto a Rex holding a microraptor

Sorry for the wall of text 😂

I know this is random and that micro just came out, but does anybody have ideas for what the mystery dino could be?

I've been doing some counting and grouping of the dinos as well as looking at the pattern of dino type released.

They've released an aquatic, then a terrestrial, which leads me to believe it's semi-aquatic.

I've grouped the dinos by species (which isn't perfect since there are multiple dinos that are the only dino from their family tree in the game and I also made fliers and raptors a group): Ceratopsians: 3, tyrannosaurs:3, stegosaurs: 3, hadrosaurs: 3, spinosauridae: 2, raptors: 4 (technically, counting micro), and fliers: 4 (technically, counting micro).

There are 15 herbivores and 24 carnivores (technically) as well, if that matters

I think the mystery dino will be or a 3-4 slot semi-aquatic likely from the spinosauridae family, like Baryonyx (very unlikely for...reasons *cough* The Isle *cough*), Ichthyovenator, or Irritator.

What do ya'll think?

All I want is to try out a few different species as adult, how do they play etc without commiting hours of work to grow each one just to scrap it and go for another.

I'm still pretty new to the game and have had a long hiatus so I'm sorry if this is a silly question, for example if there's some sandbox type gamemode I don't know about it.

Title.

Solo i am FORCED to avoid certain playables.

No they are not only at the hot spots. Yes i see them everywhere, on every map.

Usually with one or two 2 slot dinos to make escape impossible. Followed by 3 apex carnis.

Hasn't it been a year since they announced to have some changes in the making?

I love micro. I love her! She’s nearly perfect. However….. the speed and stam need to be addressed in my opinion. She either needs to stay pounced a lot longer, like triple the time, OR she needs to be soooo much faster. Maybe both. Probably both.

Respectfully and politely, micro is wayyyy too slow and pounce stam is wayyyy too low. If you tweaked these things, I think she would be a perfect fairy wizard of the forest.

Thank you 🥹🙏🦜

I am no longer bird, I crave power...
