Giving Acro a large scavenger niche does sound interesting. But if they do so, I hope they avoid the weird mistake they did with Cera and actually make it an actual scavenger instead of the most competent predator in the game. Because honestly I often forget that Cera was meant to be a scavenger.

[@Gamartt]

Cerato is weak though. If it's not on top of a body, it is very easy to kill. Dilo and Utah have no problem killing a cerato.

[@destructivecriticsm]

@@Tikialia a niche is sort of a role that a creature holds in it's ecosystem, something (usually) unique to it that let's it thrive amongst competition, creatures that have similar niches is something that's better avoided, as it lowers diversity.

[@thegek345]

As a fellow Chad acro enjoyer I can go with the "apex" scavenger role. Acro bullies most of the mid tiers in the game now like there is no tomorrow so the devs can just amplify it in evirma. I still say he should keep his "sauropod hunter" role by preying on small/young ones while giga can go for the adults.

[@StanleyFudge-k3q]

I never thought gigs would be able to take down a big sauropod like Camara

[@ThanksImGoood]

I see what you mean but i believe the devs will find a way to make it fun and unique, the rex thing is more of a crush and a pin while the concepts for acro is more of a choke, which i think has some really cool potential given how they go about it, I have faith!

[@lukaszahumensky5174]

Acro being in a weird spot is true, it's too big and strong to be mid-tier but it's also too small and weak to be apex. But that's why I'm so excited for him, the fact that he doesn't fit into either of those categories makes him a unique dinosaur.

[@enxgma8085]

everytime I see those concept arts for future dinos I get hyped but then I remember I'll be dead by the time they get released

[@TheKingofCoral]

I think they should just make it a fast semi apex that can bully anything smaller than it but in packs able to take down apexes

[@SmurfieDurfie]

Yes! I personally think they should adapt the playstyle from legacy, but improve it (way faster heal, better bleed resist). Almost everything was perfect about acro in legacy in my opinion

[@TheKingofCoral]

@@SmurfieDurfie acros speed was unbalanced tho it could just run down allos and ceras

[@SmurfieDurfie]

@@TheKingofCoral I thought it was alright, because acro can be seen eadily most of the time and has luttle stamina. So if you were far enough away it usually wasn't a problem. But if you get a bit too close or ambush one then a cera or allo would have no chance, yeah. I get making it a little bit slower too, no problem with that. But in my ooinion it should still be pretty soeedy for being so big, but of course with the very low stamuna from legacy still.

[@misterionorman9764]

@@SmurfieDurfieit wasn’t alright at all, a 5 ton dinosaur being faster than a 2.8 one? Easily able to trot down mid tiers and then close the distance with the run Yeah now it is super unbalanced

[@SmurfieDurfie]

@@misterionorman9764 It was op in some aspects. Especially fast trot things being able to trot things down is always kind of unbalanced. To be fair I think the fact that it is easily spottable and has a very low stamina pool made up for it, but not entirely. But yes I agree that it was still too fast. If you don't see it fast enough and acidentally get too close it's unfair as a mid tier, as you have no chance. I think it should still remain fast for its size, but not be way faster than mid tiers, yes.

[@taylorgreen2954]

To be honest I wish the devs would remove some of the more generic/unnecessary carnivorous theropods from the roster and replace them with more unique/weird creatures that aren’t often/ever depicted in games/paleomedia. For example there’s only one semi aquatic herbivore on the roster, Minmi, and even then it doesn’t actually swim, it just sinks - removing say Alberto and replacing it with something like Atopodentatus, Lurdusaurus, or Koreaceratops (I know the last two weren’t actually semi aquatic herbivores but they’re often depicted that way) would mean that while sure the roster would be the same size, it would be filled with playables that actually add something valuable to the game. Or alternatively adding more Pterosaurs to the game (having only two planned is ridiculous imo) would be a much better choice than having more carnivorous theropods that all have roughly the same mechanics/gameplay; adding pterosaurs like Pterodaustro (would fill the role of a filter feeder - something not planned yet at all), Tropeognathus (filling the role of an albatross and/or frigate bird, stealing food from Pteranodons and potentially even diving underwater to catch fish), or Thalassodromeus (filling the role of a “smaller quetz”, hunting land prey) would be great and would actually justify having the big roster more than what the devs are doing right now.

[@macdaddybites9252]

Or tupandactylus as an herbivorous pterosaur would be way more unique than generic theropod #12.

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

Honestly though we already have beasts of bermuda with tropeognathus and pterodaustro would likely be just smaller and even easier to play ptera (whom is also so small it is near impossible to see), and would fit very well in my opinion as an uncommon ai that filter feeds along some lakes. Thalasso’s role also sounds like it would be filled by young quetzes. I would instead add an omnivorous/herbivorous pterosaur or specialized scavenging pterosaur for some more variety than “bigger seabird” or “smaller quetz”, of which there are two basically perfect options. One is istiodactylus, a nearly ptera sized pterosaur thought to be specialized mainly for scavenging. As its ability it can perhaps “slice” bits off bleeding creatures in order to get food in case there are no carcasses (it has slicing teeth made to rip flesh so I’m taking that liberty to make it have something else to do). It would be able to fly for long distances, losing altitude slower and rising much better than ptera would, allowing it to scower long distances it would need to search for prey in due to being unable to fish. At a carcass it would lose against literally any other adult predator (including ptera because ptera is slightly bigger) except maybe a single troodon, relying on locating and reaching carcasses first with its keen sense of smell and perhaps some sort of “blood sense”. It also would absolutely suck at predation of most anything bigger than a hypsi or a very young animal since they’re just gonna run away after the first bites as while it deals bleed its raw bite damage isn’t very big. The omnivore/herbivore will be tupandactylus, which would also be around ptera size, though I would specialize this one towards ground life, and any omnivory it might have will be more along the lines of the gallis omnivory, eating small animals like crabs and lizards while preferring high energy nuts, fruit, and seeds for its plant diet. Tupandactylus will be a versatile critter, a good climber able to land in trees, and able to run at decent speed and with good agility. However its flight, while turning extremely easily and very quick to take off, is tiring and loses height much faster than other pterosaurs, necessitating walking and running as common means of transport. In a way tupa is a giant peacock (and heck we might be able to do the dewlap thing herra has with its crest). It eats things, is super flashy, and flies away from problems. Also it probably wouldn’t be able to eat grass as a last resort because it has unrivaled mobility when searching for food.

[@alienstar2088]

In my honest opinion I think Acro would be a perfect target for an environment specific creature. Acro seems to be concepted as a grappler creature and I think environment could help carve out a niche. The way I envision Acro is a creature that lurks in heavily forested or rocky areas, never truly wanting to be out in the open because when it grabs it's prey it can actively use the environment to fracture it, cause more damage or throw them off balance. This means that whilst Acro can still hunt out on the open plains, it's weight will be the only factor in grappling and obviously bigger creatures such as Sauropods and other apex carnivores could counter it's gimmick. So Acro wouldn't want to hunt out in the open but instead remain camouflaged as best it can and wait for the perfect opportunity to yeet lesser Dinosaurs into or off of a cliff face. The ultimate bully and environmental creature.

[@KaijuEmu]

I like Acro, chonky. Scavenger role sounds good, the relationship between Cerato and Acro would be similar to Lions bullying Hyenas off kills

[@gmoney12961]

What would be cool, considering the throat attacks, is heavy bleed and tracking. Make Acro slow, bulky, but a tracker. Once its commited to its large throat attack, it causes a lot of bleed, forcing a fight or flight. Either can be good depending on the dino, flight works if they are super fast and can get far enough away to recover bleed (or have the mutation for it) or can fight. Make Acro susceptible to fractures (due to its chunky size) and long recovery for stuns, but tanky against bleed and regular damage. The counter to Acro would be to weaken but not kill, so you can get away from its fat butt. If you commit to a fight, its hard to kill, if you commit to running, itll track you down. So either stay away or if it attacks, weaken it and RUN

Giving acro a scavenger role sounds interesting to me, but let's double role it: turn it into a mid-tier carnivore hunter or a sauropod hunter, or both. This way its not just a big dinosaur being pushed off of bodies, its also a hunter. It'll increase its survivability in the game.

[@christosgiannopoulos828]

I love how this game makes people want to study how ecosystems work. It's basically what tier zoo teases

[@thegamingcaiman]

For me, Acro’s identity revolves around being a “giant slayer”. It should be a sauropod specialist, much more so than any other large carnivore. Acros should have mechanics that make it a nightmare for sauropods to escape from. Let the giga keep its flesh grazing, the Acro should be the one creature in the game that reminds the sauropod players that they aren’t invincible.

Personally I find giga being faster despite looking chunkier makes it more terrifying cuz I'm here for it picture of strong men a strong man is surprisingly fast despite being extremely big they can run faster than the average human believe it or not

[@Bagelgeuse]

I like Evrima's Acrocanthosaurus. Its chunkiness and unassuming face make it absolutely adorable to me. As for gameplay, I think Acrocanthosaurus should use its weight to slow sauropods down while simultaneously mauling them. Basically the Acro hunt in Monsters Resurrected. It can't jump, but it can run up to sauropods and hold onto them using its jaws and hand claws, dealing bleed damage as well as draining stamina. To give the sauropod a chance, if they buck the acro off, then it will be stunned for 8 seconds and take more damage when knocked down. So Acro players can't stay latched forever and will eat dirt if they do.

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

@@gergomolnar2193 may be worth noting though that this is *modern* times. Modern times are not directly comparable to mesozoic ecosystems as alot of the smaller animal niches are taken up by juvenile and subadult dinosaurs, both on the herbivore and carnivore sides. It’s why we have tons of species of antelope, deer, and equiid roaming the plains but only one species of hadrosaur in an area. Young mammals don’t really start eating and living by themselces and when they do they more or less do it like their parents. Young dinosaurs would likely start feeding themselves much, much sooner after being born and actively have their own niche. It’s why we have hyenas, cheetahs, lions, crocodiles, leopards, and lycaons in the modern african savannah but in Cretaceous NA only Tyrannosaurus rex existed as the land predator with the second largest hunter being a crocodilian comparable to more modern sized specimens and dromaeosaur the size of a turkey as dakotaraptor didn’t exist due to being a Chimera and Nanotyrannus is a persistent endless debate which has shaky evidence to back it up. Nothing else could really claim alot of the mid sized predator niches as the juveniles already did that. We would have probably found such a dinosaur by now as is shown with the Morrison and its 3 giant carnivores patrolling the same general region supported by the bounty of sauropods which likely flooded their environments with eggs and young while niche partitioning by eating different foliage, living in entirely different places, and/or possibly migrating.

[@altercard5389]

As someone else said in the comments, making acro more agile to the other apexes in comparison would give it a niche of being more moblie, and ironically thats what it is in legacy (though with speed cranked to ridiculously degree). The niche is there and last I remembered carchar was supposed to be a giga model swap not a full on playable.

[@Sauropodgaminggaming]

Love the idea of acro being a scavenger and can I add some thing, because of the high stam, acro may be slow but could run for a long time and this will allow it to keep up to some fast dino herds like teno, also I think acro should be filled by not a lot of food cuz that way it won't have to try and bully rexes to just get food

[@Whoracle_Nora]

acro and dibble were the most fun dinosaurs in legacy. acro was the nemesis of all midtiers. everything you could kill couldn't escape once you were in ambush distance. Everything that overpowers and be able to kill you, you could keep distance or get away with trot and sprint easily. Only herds with theris were dangerous. Our group of 4 killed many, many solo rexes. And even halflife and with bad regen you could still fight of 2 allos and come out on top.

[@0karmaticfrost010]

bro acro's ability to do deadly bleed and track/trot down its pray was the best part of its gameplay. I was always to satisfying seein acro mains do enough damage to cause its pray to run and heal, only to trot it down and kill it, making it impossible for you to heal in time. It was such unique gameplay for a massive dino that didnt have to rely solely on damage output to kill its pray, fast enough to out pace the apex but not too fast to run down every low tier dino. Acro imo was the best example of a slow but engaging fight, most apex fights are just sitting and waiting until ur op makes a mistake or out damage ur op. acro is such an intrestin dino to where i'll actually be upset if they just make it a mini rex cuz as of rn, we dont rly have any dinos that do this kind of trackin/hunting or ones that utilize scent that much

[@Titanscreaming]

The game needs a more realistic damage and HP meter... Let's say a lucky acro could cripple a rex and then kill it, so they are a threat too as an apex.

[@SmurfieDurfie]

I hope so much that it will be great still! Acro was my favourite playable in legacy, though there were some horrible balances (the heal T-T) it was super fun to me as a pseudoapex. It stands above every mid tier while still being fair due to being very visible and having little stam and still able to be fought in groups. But even then it was possible to kill apexes, I did sometimes, while it was more challanging and fun than doing it with apexes, it was still very possible and I did it sometimes. Honestly how acro was balanced in legacy I personally think was perfect, exept for the heal and weird growth scaling that sandbox dinos had, aswell as the super bad bleed resistance that most sandbox dinos had. Challanging enough to be very fun to me, but not being a pushover at all aswell for most playables.

[@MrTrollnWatch]

The fact is even if the acro isn’t good or has a place in the isle due to better creatures and the acro just not having a place in the roster, it should be there. Because people still play dryo. Dryo is a bad Dino but people play it because they like dryo as a Dino. Having the selection to just be your favorite Dino is important to the roster. Having Dino’s that are the same but different sizes or whatever is fine. Because in real life lots of these Dino’s are generally similar to each other but all serve their own purpose of existing.

[@Rom__Zilla]

A really good idea that acro would be an apex scavenger. But one thing I think would be good if acro have a ripping bit, but not like giga but like a grab like the concept. I think the grab should do a lot bleed damage for a short amount of time and make hard to land on mid/ low dino’s. So if a dino runs after being grabbed, it will lose more blood than normal. Follow ins real if counterpart So it would take some skill if wanna land it on smaller targets. But, bigger targets will have the acro do it more often similar to giga to get the max bleed on the target. Trying to base it of what dilo had in the isle 1. But, not flesh grazing and more like ripping the skin so it can bleed more.

[@laseriedeladilophosaure9246]

I think for the most part, out of all the current dinos in the game, the devs have made them each unique enough that playing as one feels very different from the other. They should definitely continue with this trend and I hope they give the Acro a unique enough playstyle that it doesn't detract from other dinos.

[@Dacentrurus]

I think acro could solve the issue by being a tank/apex hunter Imo it should have mid damage and enough hp to tank a good amount of hits from apexes like anky and stego

[@HaughtyToast]

Could give it some buff for forming packs, kind of like the gali has when they hear each other call. Having a reason to keep their numbers up would would help it stand up to the larger playables.

[@garysteinfield4623]

Prior extinction acro is done betta

[@laseriedeladilophosaure9246]

[@Jonas00150]

They should maybe give acro a large group limit.

[@Lady-Moosh]

Hyena mentality

[@LewiBereket]

This thing will basically be just a bigger cerato but with a whole different ability and just more allofied if that makes sense. I don't really think it's forced, I see potential for it but I never really had strong opinions about this thing either. It's kind of just, there. But cool video and I get where your opinions come from. I'm still excited for this chunky boy and I might main him a lot when he comes out.

[@julianodobler2782]

Tbh they could simply remove Giga and Carchar (both are already redundant), while keeping Acro and giving it all of Giga's skills. There is no need for larger bleeders imho

[@BaldianOfIbelin]

I'm still sad that almost no game has a playable Proper Iguanadon Can you imagine an Iguanadon boxing against Apex?

[@Blackratsnake]

Honestly, having it being a wrestler is a cool idea, but having it be slimmer and faster than other apex predators could still allow that gameplay. Think of it kind of like a leopard. High on the food chain, but smaller and stealthy than it's opposition, using surprise to aim for the jugular of it's prey. Another comparison that I can make would be the technique of Racer snakes, Coachwhips and Drymarchon snakes. These animals don't have venom, nor do they constrict, they just ambush their prey and either pin it, or in some cases, slam it around against objects to suplex it. Something like this could work for Acro if it had a slimmer build. Using it's speed to avoid other larger animals and to ambush mainly mid tiers when it's solo, it could grab ahold of something and pin it down and choke the prey item, or if it's small enough, let those Carcharodontosaurid teeth come into play and just immediately rip it into pieces.

[@b_3nji876]

the fast macropredator niche was fine for acro imo

[@stephanwagner6189]

Giga and Rex should be the only carnivore apexes. Bart fits the Fisher Nische better than Spino and Carcha as well as Acro are too similar too Giga. I am instead voting for more Herbivore apexes such as Shantungo

[@Blood_SC]

Shants already on the list to be added... Smh.

[@stephanwagner6189]

I know. As other examples, a large Ankylosaurid could work or a small, armored Sauropod like Saltasaurus. The point is, when they will add tons of Carni apexes, everyone is gonna play them and it won't feel realistic or balanced anymore. And more like PvP only than Survival​@@Blood_SC

[@Utahraptor777]

Your just a larger cera idea is great, but has one huge flaw. Why would anyone play cera, when there’s a larger, more powerful alternative that can hold off corpses better.

[@goldfishmentality]

@@Utahraptor777 because Cera would be quicker and more versatile. People would play it for the same reason people play midtiers instead of apexes in general. Or small tiers instead of mid tiers. Everyone has a reason

[@m003e3]

growth time and speed I'd imagine. It would hunt and fight an entirely different roster of animals. (I think the difference in size is large enough that the similar niche issue would be negligible). Also I wouldn't give acro the bacterial bite thing, I think that's infringing too far into cerato's identity.

[@Utahraptor777]

@@goldfishmentality Unfortunately not enough of an incentive considering the apex apocalypse in legacy. Even though they took so long to grow everybody who was 5 years old played them.

I would like if they made acrocanthosaurus a really fast dinosaur that was big and muscular since scientifically it was byilt for running and endurance

[@paulo157758]

Acrocanthosaurus had short legs in relation to its body, and its femur was longer than its tibia. It was not a particularly fast animal.

[@erox-scalus7806]

@@paulo157758 There are many animals that have those but are still fast

[@JELONGreatMrRed]

Acro suffication, rex bonebreak, giga bleed. And to me giga should be faster than rex, and acro somewhat in between giga and rex whilst having the most hp and stam.

[@N0rdstrum]

acro is faster than every mid tier (42kmh) bar carno in legacy and its ambush is 50kmh. Acro can also bleed out a rex in 6 bites, giga in 7 and shant in 11 it very much demolishes mid tiers and a good acro can destroy rexes by itself. The only issue is its base damage if people choose to face tank apexes it is outclassed but it is actually very powerful in legacy. Also dondi mentions in one of his dev streams that 6 other dinos other than hypos can pin rex those being more than likely giga, spino, deinocheirus, acro, shant, and maybe cama or theri i cannot think of any other non hypo playables that will be able to pin a rex.

[@redwolf4611]

Not sure why they're bothering. the only carnivores anyone's going to play are Herrera, Omni, Cerato and Deino. Beipi get no love, Pteranodon get no love, Carnotaurus get a little love, Dilo get no love. If there's a way to be cheap with it then people are gonna love it. Btw they can't add Spino without adding T-rex because Spino is the largest predator to have ever existed on land. so adding it without competition rex would leave it with no competition as an adult. People would abuse the ever-loving hell out of that like they do with the largest herbivore currently in the isle Stego which requires two deino for one or a pack of 9 omni's to have a chance of taking it down. You get the idea i, it takes more than one person to take down one adult stego. The thing that actually made me leave the isle that is whenever someone tosses a new idea or dinosaur idea in the community rejects it immediately. All they seem to want are their cheapskies and the Stego-Tank You -saurus. Tennonto and pachy are popular too. pachy being the cheap one of the two.

[@jnightmare2386]

spino was a fish eater

[@jnightmare2386]

also new studys suggest trex was up to 15 tons maybe larger i think deino could hurt spino also if they put spino in the water where it belomgs

[@julianmeier8942]

u are talking non sense. Spino was maybe largest then rex but it was a fish eater so irl it couldnt compete with rex. Also why are u crying that u cant 1v1 a stego? u are not supposed to unless u are far more skilled then the stego. If u are an average omni player fighting a bad to average stego, there is no way u should win lmao

[@thetinyrexy4798]

Spino probably gonna reach 8-9 tons in game and rex 9-10 tons which similar, cant wait to see this 2 apex brawl in the game

[@thetinyrexy4798]

Anyway spino is not the biggest cause like what they say about giga "the biggest carnivore the world has ever seen" 🔥🔥🔥

[@karmapersonificado6148]

They want to add too many dinosaurs to the Game and they're too similar to each other to be viable to develop realistically

[@haroldotrotter9148]

i think acro would stilll be fun to play if it was a slightly worse stat giga but with better mobility tbh. I have no problem with dinosaurs being similar.

[@zebulonalbers816]

I just think acro should replace Gigga game wise, it being a bleeding sauropod hunter rather than Giggas Rex but with bleed

[@DracobeastOO7]

I dont mind acro being a scavenging I just think maybe it could have some abilities that dont copy off of cerato besides being able to eat rotten meat I think having that ability to grab hold and toss others away alongside focusing more on bleed could be interesting enough, plus even if acro becomes a scavenger Cerato is just gonna be fine because its pretty decent hunter

[@Dimitriterrorman]

They should remove giga instead of Acro if one has to go Acro not being the same size as Rex and spino is much more fun than giga which is just a bleeder rex

[@ceppoc]

Servers will be able to choose what dinosaurs that will be playable for players yes? In that case server owners/hosts could turn off dinosaurs that wouldn't have a point in the server. I love the Acro and would love to play it even if it was just a copy paste Giga, Carchara etc. I simply like it's aesthetic more.

[@gracefuldove8414]

There would be no piont in cera if acro is just a bigger, stronger version of it. It being anatomically similar to giga doesn't matter if its mechanic isn't competing with it. If that mechanic is actually good, it is up in the air, but that's😢 besides the point. Even if the current modle is objectively bad that is not a reason to remove it from the game. The modle and aperence can always be changed.

[@Latenivenatrix_Mcmasterae]

I feel like the isle is an example of too many species in such a limited ecosystem, there’s only so many niches and you begin to run into problems. It’s an issue that plagues all games, the isle is just one that suffers the most I think

[@LeopardKoma]

good video

[@MohgwynEnvoy]

Man I just want my boy in the game

[@jv2513]

I think it’s kind sad reading and seeing all the news about evrima and people seem to have this false excitement because everyone knows this stuff won’t be in game for another couple years but there’s still hope, kinda sucks progress for this game takes years for any decent update

[@doomcurse1986]

Before they revealed Rex’s pin and crush I was really hyped to see Acro had a choke move. Because I imagined that would make acro the smallest and most lethal apex even when solo, acro being able to kill in one bite and deplete your oxygen while holding you down while unable to vocalize or talking in chat. Acro can’t win by damage or bleed but all he needs is to land a choke and the 1v1 is over. Now knowing what Rex can do it’s kinda hard to think of something for Acro that wouldn’t make it a pushover or ridiculously strong. The scavenger king niche sounds good but the issue is, like with Cera, the tools for that are often used to be proper hunters. Combat wise Cera is legit the best carnivore atm all that’s to stats and abilities that were supposed to make it a kleptoparasite.

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

May be worth noting that from an ecosystem perspective cera being a good hunter as well as kleptoparasite was inevitable, “scavengers” that aren’t specialized birds like some varieties of vultures will hunt and will do so with proficiency, like wolverines, bears, and hyenas. Of which TI cera seems to perfectly slot in as the “wolverine” of this game, a mid sized carnivore with an extreme possessiveness over carcasses, repulsive but not outright lethal chemical weaponry (bacteria for, TI cera, powerful musk for wolverines), and a robust body built to take harm of the more gracile predators its swiping kills from, which also helps it hunt because being built like a brick also helps with subduing prey. Heck some vultures (known as rippers) are even built to do so and have strong beaks made to rip into struggling animals just as much as to rip into the outer skin of a carcass, first slamming into their prey with their large bird bodies to disorient it and then delivering the killing blow.

[@Dino_Hunter8669]

God, i hope in the end Acro is genuinely good. But with its current state, could possibly end in a bad way. Hopefully they make it how, or similar too how you described it.
