This is what’s wrong with official rn

[@mr.dr.kaiser4912]

Cowards too scared to take a real risk fighting unless they outnumber the opponent 5 to 1, and if you do manage to kill any of them you know for a fact they're gonna get babysat by their friends while they regrow the creature they lost. Idk why this happens or how to fix it but it seems all the big dino games have pretty awful player bases. Of course there are tons of players that aren't toxic, but for every one or two of them you have an entire group of KOSers like what was seen in this video.

I’m a solo guy just playing with a random here no mic so no communication we walked into a big discord group location and instantly they call for backup in discord and it turns into a 10+ vs 2 sucks for the casual players but you just got to respawn and keep it moving gl out there guys

[@jetproduction4747]

As a solo player in official. It used to be different, you would communicate using calls and make friends with other Dino’s group up and it was truly a unique experience. Now clans have gained numbers and ruin official with huge mix pack groups. You cannot team up with 3-4 dinos anymore and try to police them they have just grown too big. Most KoS right off rip.

Yea I have played since drop on console was def different back then way less mega packs roaming around. I honestly get it especially with it being a cross play play game discord groups will happen just seems there’s a whole lot more of them now lol

@@dean2211yup lol that sounds about right the typical solo experience on official

[@spoonlydoodly6500]

It's gotten bad across last year, we need more casual/not sweaty tryhard ppl, to voice this issue, loud and clear to the devs, cause right now, it's the clan folk keeping the issue hush hush of it's severity and game breaking intensity rn. Almost every friend I have, 20 some ppl, have quit over the past year due to this zerq vs zerg clan kill joy nonsense. Your either the biggest group, or your the fodder, no fun allowed for you, only them. If there's anything I learned from the vocal part of the PoT community(10% of player base generally, typically toxic folk), your experience doesn't matter if it doesn't align with their way of enjoying the game. You are not human to them, you are THEIR toy, or a NUMBER to their army. This is coming from experience in and out of these groups, originally being a solo-trio person, and also on the official discord, etc. Currently I am finding that these clans/groups have actually fucked up drama too of taking this game too personally, hunting ppl, harrasing, nudes/nsfw personal life shit used as bragging rights or manipulation, etc. Yet not a bannable offense when specifically targeting to kos n harrass specific people ingame. So p much keep your head low around these ppl n don't make a scene in global, or you might become their next pin cushion. In the end, I think the direction the game is going, is either you play in clan, or this game isn't for you, cause community servers are just as bad in their own ways. Corruption, manipulation, staff abuse, and cancelation from server owner friends groups banning you across server to server. And to be fair, prb a lot n a lot more deep n darker shit as it usually is of any pvp games community/personal servers.

[@KrawllUnchained]

I'm mostly a solo player and i only play Officials and i won't deny that big packs can be annoying but we also can't ignore that those big packs are always in the hot spots. In Panjura they're in SLL, GLC, Riverland or LBM and in Gondwa they're in Crater, Grand plains, Green Hills and Green Valley..... if you stay out of those zones, most of your encounters will be against other solo's or small packs and there is still a lot of fun to be had for us solo players, even on Official servers. In real life, you wouldn't go hang out in a part of town that is controlled by gangs or that is known for gang on gang violence would you ? It's the same thing in any open world PvP games. As a solo, don't hang out in gang territory.

[@icesworld2]

I agree it’s gotten out of hand last year or so it’s one thing to run into them every once a while but now it’s like 2-3 big groups are on every server you log into and this guy Krawl is right they are always in the hotspots but I refuse to let that stop me from going to those locations I’ll just fight it out cause after all it’s a PvP game just a lot of weak minded people out there and it’s a shame tbh

[@bibbster2571]

​@@KrawllUnchained exactly right bro

[@spoonlydoodly6500]

​@@KrawllUnchained 1. I started as a solo player, into duo or trio across 4-6 months straight, degen hours every single day. I've learned it can take a long time to find pvp playing the game at it's deadest, aka staying in dead zones, to become horrendously boring to the point of I may as well go play some other live game with a community I can actually experience on fair terms. Plus, the tiny little box you are damned too if your to avoid every hot spot and it's connected core hunting grounds, and I pay the same price tag to access this game as anyone else? Just why? May as well refund and play some other game that gives more respect then half of PoT's community. Isolating myself to 40% of the map barely anyone else goes through too often, is no different then playing a dead game. 2. This is a game, IRL stuff should have nothing to do with it. There is a reason games exist, it's to escape irl nonsense and have fun, unless otherwise the game is advertised to be about this kinda content like pvp mmorpgs: bdo, throne an liberty, archeage, etc. BUT, PoT has advertised itself as a smaller group of folk game, or even solo, never anything about 'you should join a clan/community group' like other pvp mmorpgs, or mmo's with this focus. Plus PoT has also advertised itself as some kinda game it isn't, trailers not at all representing what the game actually plays out as. It's insanely misleading with effectively false advertisement going on.

[@KrawllUnchained]

@@spoonlydoodly6500 Look, you're blaming a game for the actions of players. No real life has nothing to do with things going on in a game but the game is played by real people so of course the behaviors of real people in real life will reflect how those real people behave in a game. If you play official servers, you are playing a "no rules" environment which means , no one is coming to play police for you when you feel like you're been treated unfairly, it's up to you to put on your big boy pants and do something about it. You wanna go to the hot spots, go, don't come back complaining about gangs. I feel like no matter what anyone says, you're just gonna end up complaining about it. There are community servers for those who don't like how people behave in the Official servers.

[@missfancy9824]

yeah I never play officials because of how many of these types of groups there are. Its annoying to deal with, plus they will literally never stop hunting you even if you live.

[@BlackRose85789]

I think they need to design a pack limit on this, and de buffs that if you go over so many. It causes your dino to do less damage. And it should be a system in which tallies up the amount of damage so in order to debuff these clans.

[@icesworld2]

They do have an in game pack limit but they by pass it by using discord very common for cross play games just hate the toxicity after wards simple gg or say nothing at all

[@ventilato7919]

@@icesworld2tbh they should debuff dinos that are not in a pack or multiple packs being too near to each other same with too many solos. no carnivore and herb would stay together near eachother and make em weaker too with a debuff like hc debuff but only dmg input cuz some can just linger around not fighting and such

[@icesworld2]

[@EternalCrimson.]

Fr. I play solo always in community and officials. I want to be around other players but all they do is kos. Even if there is a body they already took down. I just want to be able to interact with them without fighting sometimes. Luckily i survived a few attacks and fights. I have to use a flyer if I want to see other players or a small fast dino. Equatics even. It's annoying because I'm alone on the outer areas and I want to be in hot spots walking past herbis and carnis no fighting just pass peacefully but apparently attacking anything that moves is their go to. So I play solo till they add ai, and fun stuff that won't take away from the immersion. I want to play like real dinos and they are playing like it's the hunger games. It's not realism if your getting attacked 24/7. Nature does have peaceful moments between carnis and herbis it's not all blood and kill. If it was we would all be dead. Yes fighting for territory, fighting for mates, rivalry happens but what the players do is just kill no thoughts just kill. It makes me think it's a bunch of kids who want to feel cool but can't handle 1v1 encounters so they cry for help instead of just runaway or fight till death. Luckily I'm just whatever now if I die I die but it just is frustrating to have 10+ players mixpacking kosers. I don't care if they are one group of carnis but the big mixpackers are annoying. I really hope they fix that.

[@BlackRose85789]

The easiest fix I ever did was sick clan on clan, I used to purposely make up rumors in which would make folks turn on each other to the point they focused less on other players and more about themselves. I remember the time I caused a clan to actually TK each other due to spreading a false lead that there friends was sleeping with the other or how they was a spy. Might have been pettiness but so was there behavior. Only reason I joined it was to do exactly that, to create so much drama the players would less likely group together.
