Yeah the rough draft looks great already, just need to smooth it out a bit and add animations like you said.

[@celestialraptor3710]

The amount of disrespect Para gets in TI is insane. Just because it doesn't have any spikes or horns that doesn't mean it's defenseless, even an ALLOSAURUS would get pretty hurt if a Parasaur threw its full bodymass into it. But no let's just have it SONIC-HONK predators and run away because it's a defenseless walking burger to anything bigger than a Utahraptor, smh.

[@beastmaster0934]

Ikr!? The largest specimens of Parasaurolophus weighed in at around 12 FUCKING TONS. Those things could crush anything smaller than a rex, and even then, they’d give a rex a hard time. But NOPE, let’s make it a defenseless herbivore because it doesn’t have any horns, spikes, or any weapons of any kind. It’s not like it’s weapon was it’s size or anything.

[@comanderdre1569]

Yeah they did Para wrong this time sadly. Unfortunately isle devs just sees us as a free walking meal at this point and it's sad that they're showing Para remotely scared of one allo even 3 with how big Para is it'd be able to slap some damage around with its weight.

[@beastmaster0934]

@@comanderdre1569 Yeah, Paras could easily flatten a single allo, and probably kick the crap out of three allos, probably with some injures but it probably survive.

In my opinion, i dont like the para loud ear splitting call, sounds a bit far fetched. its a good idea i just hope it gets implemented well

Ever try to stand near a siren on the first Wednesdays of each month? Lol

[@macdaddybites9252]

Yeah I really don't like it either, would have worked better on a smaller creature, not a 5 ton hadrosaur. Would have been better just to make paras able to hear each other from further away to go along with the social playstyle the devs want.

[@johncarlodimaano7235]

So para is now non semi aquatic in the concept art, although I do like para having an ear pearcing defense,I think it only works if apex or mid tiers get too close from a herd.

I assume this is the old misconception awhile ago that dinosaurs were swamp dwelling creatures. While some could have resided in swamps. Many more did inhabit a variety of enviroments including snowy mountains and deserts.

[@Unknown_variant_0]

Ah yes, the isle evrima. It's still in beta after several years, just like a deformed baby growing into something.

[@dtbrex08]

The zombie video though, I REALLY liked it! I like the fact they just used the decomposed corpse of a carno with animations and sounds, as well as some of the old carno sounds for the normal carno, and the shaking for the zombie lol it looked really realistic. 10/10 for the halloween video.

[@derekparker1715]

literally every franchise: PARA IS WEAK! COMMENCE THE PARA GORE! The isle: heh, yeah. *NO.*

[@justapillow2443]

Once again, parasaurolophus is reduced to walking hamburger. 5 bucks paras have no defense against mega packs(hell maybe even a normal pack) and become one of the least played dinos

[@mrsnake6562]

ngl para should have a shove that gives some kind of body fracture (given the weight of the animal and force of it swinging itself at opposition) to help it really defend against smaller carnivores, it should definitely run from things like acro and giga but not from carno or allo

[@beastmaster0934]

@@mrsnake6562 Or maybe a tail slap of some kind, smaller creatures get fractured, and larger creatures get stunned for a little bit.

[@mrsnake6562]

@@beastmaster0934 I mean, naturally herbivores tend to heave themselves at smaller predators, take zebras going against a lone lion etc and a barge seems better because a tail swing is at the rear of the body and wouldn't be as effective as shoving your opponent away if you're bigger than it

[@Evrimomono]

Jesus that was fast lmao

[@paw9122]

once again para gets beaten up. when will this end??

[@TONYZANDERZ]

it's one of the biggest hadros on record and you're telling me it's "nimble" for it's size and aren't going to incorporate it's weight.... at all... maybe it gets a head swing that won't do any damage

[@comanderdre1569]

The only good thing Para will get is that the sounds it'll have will be amazing but besides that every time you talk and make noise it's going to be so loud that you'll probably get ambushed constantly and you can't even properly defend yourself with the looks of the concept art so you're basically free food.

[@dukieeee4600]

Para do be Shouting anywhere and destory our ears.. I think it'll slow sorrounding dinos except its kind like there's a small radius that slows dinos so they can escape from the ambush or chase

[@Lightclaw]

Now to wait for Lore Video by Seiza

[@Bear-fn1jb]

Woah

[@Rexz2000]

The only reason I am fine with Para being a bit of a push over is because we already have Teno and Shant as combat-focused "hadrosaurs". I kind of like the idea of something as huge as Para being versatile, kind of like a zebra to the Shant's buffalo.

[@IndominusRex-wc1ey]

They could've used a smaller hadrosaur with incentive to run though. Para should very much be an ass kicking hadrosaur, plus teno's probably only going to be able to punch up to carnost best, whereas realistically para could throw hands with acro for at least a little while

[@Do27gg]

Think it’ll still be damaging to low tier carnos and a challenge to allos and smaller

[@IndominusRex-wc1ey]

@@Do27gg it should outright solo allosaurus, para is like 9 tons max and allo is like 5 tons max

[@beastmaster0934]

@@IndominusRex-wc1ey Maia fits that bill perfectly. They could’ve given it high stamina, along with other abilities that allow it to escape predators.

[@troelembiid6970]

@@IndominusRex-wc1ey Sources? I don’t recall Para being near 9 tons. Allosaurus wasn’t even 3.5 tons either, you are greatly exaggerating their size. Allosaurus’ can very well solo a Para since they were similar in size and Para being known as a running Dino, not a fighter.

@@Keizer-p8y nearly 13? Sounds like edmontosaurus measurements. To my knowledge parasaurolophus never breached 10 tons, which is still a lot and it's home predator albertosaurus/gorgosaurus doesn't have a hope in hell bringing it down solo, but I still doubt 12-13t is reasonable

[@comanderdre1569]

I absolutely love the idea of zombie dinosaurs. they could take zombie dinos in a lot of directions if they aren't just doing it for visual appeal, like a zombies mode or something. lore-wise, too. i mean, we have mutant hybrid monkey rexes, so it aint so far fetched for the lore.

[@legendary5733]

I do love playing the para in the isle legacy version but it had serious problems such as hit box mechanics were out of line and the regeneration was way too slow. I hope evirma could fix these issues but judging the devs progress so far. It's very unlikely we won't see it in a few years.

[@Kurominos1]

dont forgett if 1 singel adult Allo bite you as an adult Para ,,, you where already dead XD cause the allo could heal all the dmg you did to them long before the bleed would heal on you (exept you sat down) but then allo could simply run in an bite you again

Hate to burst your bubble, but para in Evrima won't be able to deal with an allo half its size for some reason. Most likely copium just to make the crappy stun mechanic viable instead of putting it on a smaller creature where it would be much more viable.

[@CanadianKomodo]

They gotta give up on this human stuff. Waste of time and resources. They are trying to mash 2 different games into one, and the dinosaur portion isn’t even finished. They’re overcomplicating too many mechanics, like locking a camera ever? That’s not fun, far from it. Finish the base mechanics, then add and balance dinos. Even diets are a flawed system right now. It’s a survival game that punishes you for trying to survive.

@@SenyoruRobinson I’m a aware. And it was a terrible idea since then. Look at all the useless human related models they make almost every month.

[@StoicForce]

"This game is officially dead, because I don't like one change that may or may not even be kept" Don't be such a drama queen; they're experimenting with ideas to give players a sense of dread, wanting to add to their idea of 'horror'. If you watch animals eating or drinking in the wild, they are *constantly* on edge, taking pauses to look around after every mouthful of food they take. I assume, this is how the devs want the players to behave. If it's not fun, then the devs will adjust/improve or remove it, just like they did with night vision when people didn't like it.
