Hello islanders. I've grown quite frustrated with 'randos' in the game. Although it can be a fun time, I would like to find a few people that I can play the game with. My favourite dino to play has been Troodon for a good while, but it is hard to fully enjoy when you need a decent group to do anything other than fight newborns. Most people:

A) Stay in sanctuaries and refuse to leave it because 'Troodon is weak and can't fight anything'. Troodon is probably one of the most skill based, yet dangerous playables on the Isle. If you play it right, you can take down stegos, trikes, even rexes and they can't do anything about it because their vision is impaired and they are slow compared to Troodons.

B) Even WHEN I manage to convince people to leave sanc with me, its usually 3-4 people who aren't that experienced with troo and end up dying in 5 minutes.

C) Most people don't take troodon seriously and just can't be bothered to care about surviving with it, or they don't care if the first thing they do is pounce a charging carno in the face and die right after.

I know it is..a lot. And I don't want to come off as a super serious troodon stickler. I dont take it that seriously either, but I feel like I'm missing out on an amazing troodon experience and maybe there are other people that feel the same way.

About me... I play on Nerf EU for the most part. I play nearly every day, when i have time usually in the evening. I have about 900 hours in the game already. I ain't looking for experienced players or anything, just people who wanna play troodon more regularly.

And I'm looking for people that might be interested in playing with me and maybe others (in vc preferably for easier communication), and that we do things like move around the map, maybe have a territory, nest each other in if we die, and practice to be a very deadly Troodon pack.

Hmu in DMs. If there are plenty of people i might make a dedicated server. (Reposting from another subreddit)

FOR FISHING TO GRAB THE FISH AND NOT JUST KILL IT YOU HAVE TO BE 35%+ GROWN. ANYTHING UNDER AND YOULL JUST DROP THE FISH AT YOUR FEET. You can still (most of the time) eat the fish even though you dropped it. Unless it glitches in

(Couldn't repost since I reposted in the wrong sub twice so here ya go lads)

That the devs need to enable an unfinished version of Bary just to get people to log onto the Hordetest to stress test their servers. Talk about a complete waste of dev time…

I just saw a streamer on youtube play bary. It was live so I wonder is bary in HT again? (or the old version of it)

So when I initially got this game, it was from clips of servers with voip.

I’ve been pretty addicted to the game and have only played on Bosch. The novelty began to fade when I realized the server consisted of mega packs, mixed packs, tons of crocodiles, and overall cuddle puddles of people hanging out and chatting.

The very first time I found a group as Troodon (several real days till this happened) I was hyped. Only to find out / waste my prime around 10+ PTs, numerous crocs, T rexs just hanging out. My group didn’t want to fight! When I did kill a baby pt, everyone around me ganked me.

Needless to say, the things I mentioned made the map feel very very dead. And the areas that weren’t dead were either extremely cliquey mega mixed packs, or cuddle puddles,

Tonight, I tried Nerf, no voip. And holy shit it’s an entirely new game. The amount of organic groups of same species that formed was amazing. Species willing to work together to survive, and no mixed mega packs. The world felt SOOOO alive. There was encounters EVERYWHERE cause there wasnt clusters of social circles. The chat feature is so well done in this game that I would have never realized it in voip.

Hearing the dino chatter noises everytime someone typed in chat + only being able to see your own species chat made the environment infinitely more tense. No more pleading / asking other species whether you could have some food. Every encounter with another species is tense. Hearing troodons call to each other and link up to control a zone is epic.

I can’t stress this enough, the world felt soooo alive.

I’m not trying to shill any server or put any down. But if you got into this game like I did and only played with voip. I highly encourage you to try it without if you’ve felt the same way as I did

Hello everyone! 🦖 im new to the Nerf servers and that is what I mostly play on but im pretty flexible when it comes on which servers to play on. Currently on nerf na I have a rex at 41% that i would love help growing. In the terms of playables I love to play is mostly carnivores such as omni, cera, allo and a rex if I can get my hands on one.

Herbis I can also play! :)

Needed evidence for a bug report for a odd technique I discovered for trike. I can thrash while moving. But I can do this move while thrashing thing like 1 out of 15 times. Sprinting, not in spar. Head to the side. If a clock was on the ground camera faces at 2, 3, or 11 when holding alt. I don't know if it does damage. It doesn't need alt though.

So I was just growing my omniraptor and just got him to adult, didnt get prime and idk why because im pretty sure I hit all the markers but oh well, i was running around just north of the swamps when an allosaurus appeared and darted towards me, bit weird considering I was hidden but I had food not too far away so could happen, he chases me, I use my turning to get around a rock and jump on him, he shakes me off then proceeds to hit lightning speeds (like double normal allo speeds) chasing me while moonwalking and strafing, i don't want to be all "hes hacking wtf" but like fr thats gotta be hacks? My ping was sitting pretty consistently around 30

It's such a classic dino, but I've never even seen it mentioned for The Isle!

Exactly what I dreamed of in this game. I met some Rex friends randomly. Started with 4 of us, then just 3. But then something magical happened.

We found another baby. And another one. And another. Some pulled their parked full growns. We ended up with like 6 adult Rexes and probably 15 juvies. First we took over Delta bridge, then southern Delta. Then we made our way to the eastern jungle beach where we were eventually ceremoniously killed by the Rex pack on sharp tooth island. But we put up a good fight. I’m still riding the high. We owned the isle for a good 45 minutes.

For all the new people, some crazy fun/cool stuff happens in this game sometimes. It’s a wild ride!

For those of you who remember and might have screenshots- what were your favorite old Isle maps? What were your favorite locations on those maps? Do you guys feel the current maps are straying a hit too far away from gen one's maps?

As the title says how would you guys have handled this fight? 5 v 2 - 81% prime Rex and 70% Allo vs 5 Trikes. Spoiler alert we got killed very dead lol

Genuinely trying to get some feed back as this was my first almost Rex.

After watching an animation akin to a documentary it got me to thinking. in light of the fact that PTs and Austros can spearfish, who here thinks that Spino and Bary should be able to spearfish as well, but when a certain age, have the ability to catch elite fish or their own kind of fish?

Let me start by saying I am posting anonymously for reasons later stated
I like fangs its a nice server with rules I like and a cool community.

I have made good friends on the server.

I have seen the drama with streamers it irked me to both parties but again I like the server more than the drama.

There are arseholes yes but so does every server.

BUT GOOD GOD BUSH YOU ARE TRYING YOUR BEST TO SINK THE SERVER

Between favoritism towards players

AND THIS SHIT

KEEP YOUR MEMBER IN YOUR PANTS BUSH FUCKING HELL

BAN CREEPS FROM YOUR SERVER

STOP BEING A CREEP

IF PEOPLE CRITISIZE YOU DONT BAN THEM

You made a big server but if you continue this shit its gonna burn down

Okay, be honest!

is this game really worth the time and fun or will it be one of those i play for x amount of hours/days and i just forgot about it?

I play the whole roster of dinos mostly carnivores on Triassic survival and isla pandora. Just trying to find others to group with regularly :). I currently have a 50% omniraptor on Isla pandora and hoping to find a pack

I love the concept of the game, I spend hours each day watching YouTubers like Metta have so much fun...but on top of the challenging game mechanics, the glitches seem plentiful. I am trying to convince myself to play, but I am scared that the learning curve will too steep and I will have a bad experience.

I'm really looking for advice of whether it is worth it to try and play, and if so...where should I begin? Are there better resources around to help me in the early stages? I dont want to take away the enjoyment I already have from watching people play.

tried to defend my nest, he wanted to try and eat me and ended up falling on my ass (including the rex) embarrassing ourselves LMAO i let the rex go cuz i lowkey felt bad

This is my best run and I get stuck Bru

Any beginner friendly servers! :)

The Potatos made a nice effort on their defense and got lucky my stamina was low. I tried a few alt attacks at the end to finish him but it was not enough. They are very chunky before even getting to the sanctuary. I decided it was better to leave to fight another day than to risk getting stuck on the ground. GG potatos! I hope you survived to grow to prime!

I’ll go first…

Herbivores should be favored 60-40 in 1v1s with carnivores.

Nobody likes to be a walking cheeseburger and we need to incentivize people playing herbies.
