Shortening herbi growth time would probably help with herbi population. But then, I think all the growth times should be shorter.

[@dinometta]

It's possible, but then again I don't mind growth times myself. Gives me time to have stuff happen while I'm still growing

[@user-gc3hy3xr5w]

Herbs need a quicker grow time and a herd system because the majority of herbivores have always been herd animals and the carnivores always follow those herds.

[@crocsoncrocsman6273]

Yeah i feel herbis should grow faster too but, Maybe NOT stego...

[@NilsNone]

​@@user-gc3hy3xr5wmake them grow faster and get a stamina boodt if in herds, while carnivours get to grow slower when in packs and drain more stamina when there are too many around of the same species. That would encourage herbis to get together and Carnis to split into smaller groups. All those things could also apply to different stages of growth. Like a carnopair can have up to 2 babys without problem but once they become subadult the staminadrain kicks in.

[@AgentMercer]

It’s easy to see why few people play herbivore. Herbivores are pretty much locked to 3 small patches of the map, if they want to freely explore elsewhere they will be punished with big diet debuffs, so they are hardhanded in to pingponging between 3 hotspots where they will be jumped by carno and raptor megapacks. Their location is pretty much doxxed to all the carnivores on the map which already outnumber them. Meanwhile carnivores can find AI to eat at pretty much any corner of the map. Thats one of the main reasons why I stopped playing the Isle in general, even though i played pretty much 50/50 on the factions, the devs clearly favor one sidr. I like to explore, when the game punishes me for moving away from hotspots it loses all enjoyment. It doesn’t help that carnivores also get the most niche diversity, herbivores get jack shit as far as niche diversity goes, carnivores get to swim, climb and fly.

[@dinometta]

Yeah, herbivores have always had it meh. At least patrols do allow for much more exploration for herbivore players. You can pretty well go anywhere, wait about 10-20 minutes, and a patrol will spawn nearby. No more migration zone hotspot when you don't want to be there, at least as long as patrols exist in their current format

[@AgentMercer]

@@Patrick3183 edible plants should actually spawn in the biome they are listed with, not in tiny acre sized lots. The diet system for herbivores is not immersive at all because plants do not grow in tiny localized areas like this, they are spread around by the herbivores themselves through seed dispersal. This whole diet system was designed to cater to carnivore players only, to push herbivores in to easy-to-find spots so packs can hunt them at their leisure. If the devs really cared about immersion, edible plants WOULD be spread everywhere, I had made an in-depth suggestion about herbivore diet improvements in the official discord before i was banned because one of the moderators there had personal problems with me (very corrupt staff), the google doc might still be there. Pointless though, the devs aren’t interested in improving herbivore gameplay when they can just keep catering to the carnivores

[@July-nj5sn]

​@@AgentMercer seriously, it's so unrealistic that the plants are all growing in one place at a time. This was way better handled at the old map Spiro, where you had to travel across the entire map to get perfect diet since the plants only grew in their specific places.

[@AgentMercer]

@@July-nj5sn i would travel a lot on the old map and at the same time, it was still lenient enough to let me nest with my friends without being punished, and it allowed me to nest in hidden areas that weren’t advertised to every carnivore on the map. I couldn’t even bother nesting on gateway, especially with Herrera out now

[@July-nj5sn]

@@AgentMercer Same. I traveled so much on Spiro and nested everytime I played, not to mention that Ptera was so much fun back then too. I have so many good memories of nesting as Ptera at turtle beach or NE waterfalls, chilling with other Tenos or Omnis at NW waterfalls, swimming down the rivers and crossing that way the entire map as deino, stalking and ambushing at the edge of the jungles at centre as Carno and so many more. I really miss Spiro and it's gameplay now, even though Gateway looks stunning. But that's the only good thing about Gateway: the looks.

My worst nightmares by far are blindingly dense foliage near cliffs and drinking at riverbanks (because of deinosuchus).

I am considering this game and would prefer to play herbivore. People actually do that? What the HELL?!

[@somerandomperson6511]

@@tentardigrades968 yep, many servers labeling themselves as “semi realism” will only allow herbivores to fight if the carnivore attacks first, meaning you are literally just forced to watch a pack of raptors get themselves ready and organized to 5v1 you. Many of these servers also make it so herbivores cant even kill the attacking carnivores if the carnivore runs away or 4 calls. You also cant continue fighting the carnivores if they kill one of your group mates, so for example if you are defending your hatchlings and the carnivores kill one, you are forced to just walk away and they can follow you until theyre hungry again. Most carnivores are also faster than most herbivores, a pack of carnivores will keep on your ass because they can just follow your tracks while moving. Additionally, it is even against the rules for carnivores to get attacked by other carnivores if they are sitting next to a body

[@stupidmangoz]

The first their is there btw

[@lolero72campos19]

In unofficial servers there are a lot of Herbie's, in fact, if u don't have a massive carni pack is almost impossible for u to hunt a pack of Herbie's on hot spots, but on certain zones there are players that doesn't play with their entire family and u can hunt so it's not that bad, u can still play solo perfectly

[@dinometta]

I enjoy playing on Petits myself. Though sometimes the massive herds of herbivores get annoying since there's too many and the carnivores don't bother even trying. Honestly in this case, I was hoping to run into a pack of carnos once I reached full grown. I wanted to see how chaotic the fight would be. Unfortunately for me, I got a pack of ceratos instead haha

@@dinometta ye I play on petits as well and I try to check for eggs so I can get a pack easily and then be able to hunt something cuz yeah, they don't risk too much, once I had a family of troodons on the canyon and from the 20 of us, just 3 and me were attacking the dibles that were coming through, anyways it depends, usually on unofficial ppl play like an rpg, kinda like Path of Titans xD

[@Fallenfaefolk]

So I don't know if you know this, but in the latest patch you can force a patrol zone to spawn. if you find a patrol zone you like (I like the dibble one at swamps) you can sit JUST outside of the area it used to be when it moves, and it will re-roll your preferred PZ every ten seconds or so. I tested this out on officials last night, and you can sit outside the zone for about 10 mins(feels like a long time but in Isle minutes that's nothing) and there will be a very good chance of it re-moving back to the area you are next to. if it doesn't work after that ten mins, move back further (you're probably still inside the old zone) and try again. I coasted to full grown in just under three hours (after having a particularly foodless adolescence). hope this helps!

[@dinometta]

I didn't know that it would reroll! I got one in swamp that I hated as teno(because melons) and I had to run to south and relog entirely to get that dang patrol to finally change!

[@Fallenfaefolk]

@@dinometta I noticed it while playing with my buddy, if one of you can smell diets but the other can't, it's a minor desync, after about five minutes their PZ will change and yours will move to where they are, and that's when I forced the re=roll by sitting outside the zone (I found the edge with his help) I am thinking another way to do it is to travel around the edge of the old PZ in a zigzag fashion, forcing the game to acknowledge you are in one and then out of one so reroll to tell you where the closest one is every time you pop out of it again, but I haven't tried that method yet. so far, time and distance work best. here's to hoping the devs fix migrations!!!

[@trik6979]

"Why are there so few herbivore players in The Isle?" Players want to the power trip of being the "apex predator biggest hunter alpha graahhhh" simple.

[@dinometta]

@@trik6979 Indeed. That and honestly, there's not much for herbivore players to do. Migrations have been broken, so much of life is spent desperately seeking diets in obscure corners of the map. No one finds each other, so the only other thing herbivores do, nesting, doesn't happen. So they wander around, alone and bored, until either they go crazy and get aggressive or they get spotted by a large group of ceratos and die. Herbivores simply need more objectives and fun things to do as wandering around peacefully grazing gets boring very quickly

Just a suggestion but, i feel like its better to use more nature like and tribal music for this kind of narratios, at list i feel more immerse that way.

[@dinometta]

Fair enough. I do my best to find as much of those as I can, but the options on Uppbeat that suit what I'm looking for are pretty limited. I don't like reusing the same track too often as I feel like they grow stale if someone is watching multiple videos in a row

Im sorry but what is migration zone and its purpose? And where is it usually located

[@gojonissan5567]

@@Patrick3183 so its a bunch of diet located at the same spot? How do u know where it is and when to move?

[@dinometta]

Yup, it contains all of a herbivore's diets in one place. There's a nice little set of icons on your scent bar that looks like marching footprints. When they fill completely and move to encompass your full scent bar, then you're within the zone. At that point you just have to wander the zone and sniff until you find the plants

[@gojonissan5567]

[@lonwolf7922]

Herbies are usually at a disadvantage, in a 1 to 1 ratio carnies have the upper hand and the only thing herbies really have going is their health.

[@dinometta]

Herbivores generally are defense fighters, they may be slower and less agile, but their attacks are more devastating when landed.

[@lonwolf7922]

@dinometta Herbies are good defenders but usually lose in a carnie vs herbie fight. An average carnie player can still kill a skilled herbie player with ease. In addition, if a carnie is hurt, they have a better chance of escaping their fate. I main herbie and the only time I've managed to win is when I see them coming or when I'm bigger.

It's cool to see herbivores do things like claiming a small grove and hanging out there instead of constantly wandering the map.

I honestly love patrols for this. All the food spawns in a very small area and when you're solo you can hang out there for a good long time. I've always enjoyed claiming a little stomping ground territory, so it suits my solo mindset very nicely!

Because you will be spawn killed as soon as you you choose it, there are Rexes and Raptors everywhere, and there is hardly a tutorial to help you understand how to even play. I remember spawning as a Triceratops. Tyrannosaurus Rex player was spawn camping, to kill/eat new players. So I dashed into a lake so I could drown myself, denying them the kill/meal, because screw him.

[@dinometta]

There's a lot less spawn camping on evrima now that randomized spawns are there, but baby herbivores are definitely heavily targeted all the same
