ello everyone ♥ sorry for the bad quality and sound fluctuations. I had troubles to make it, because my PC often ran hot and I had to turn it off to recover. so, I hadn't as much time for the quality control and also not enough time for the perfect wording. I hope you got my points tho and it may even help some people to better understand their decisions and the direction of the game in general. the good news is, my PC got fixed meanwhile and runs without problems again
I've been playing the isle for 8 years. I will probably be playing 8+ years from now. I will stand by this game and its development until either I die or it dies. It's been rough for sure, but it's also been a great experience. I think what would really be amazing if the devs opened up limited modding abilities to the community. Not to the extent that legacy allowed, but things like maps and skins would be neat. Just a thought.
till the bitter end! I like that mods will come at some point anyway. I also understand why they didn't implement them by now. you could see it best in PoT. mod quetzl felt like thala while flying, because the modder only had this fly mechanics to use at this point. many tools are still missing for the isle dinos. like, if a modder who would've made a trike one month ago, then he/she wouldn't had the chance to add sparring back then. any climbing dino wouldn't have had the chance to climb before herra and the mechanics arrived. honestly, I think mod dinos would feel unfinished at the moment. once every mechanic is in the game, modder will have a way better platform to design dinos imo. but yeah, skins and maps would probably be already possible
I've been with the game for 9 years as well, I'mma stick it out until I see how it becomes. Right now I'm slightly disappointed in its performance and the decision the Devs made of working on Rex and Trike instead of much needed smaller to medium tiers more. But maybe they'll open their eyes soon and work on what actually matters and wont ruin the already fragile balancing this game has.
I always swear I won’t play it again after dieing to its hitboxs, but I come back a few minutes later, just something about the game is so mesmerizing, interesting or fun about it, it’s addictive
yes it is and also don't say that there aren't frustrating times. some updates are terrible in between. but, I didn't play a single alpha which hadn't terrible updates in between. I had to stop playing the ark alpha, because it was unplayable. it had rubber banding with a 10 minutes!!! loop. you played, chopped a lot of trees and suddenly you were 10 minutes back in time without having chopped one of those trees. over and over again for more than 2 weeks in a row. you couldn't make any progress at all anymore. to be fair to ark, they reacted a little quicker with bug fix patches than the isle devs. but, they also were a slightly bigger studio as far as I remember. anyway tho, it's alpha business as usual. there are for sure things you can criticize about the isle, but, many things people complain about are down to alpha and the wrong expectation of what type of game the isle is aiming to be.
for all those struggling to learn how to grow to 100% without being afk or using meta to survive, I am building highly detailed tutorial for you all, with sped up continuous gameplay throughout the life of the dino, from baby to full grown solo, explaining all the techniques I use to grow, how to troubleshoot bugs, how to read UI, how to find food, either ai or players, and tactics to ensure greater chances of survival. The tools aren't hacks or cheap play styles, this will help you think for yourself, even with ever changing mechanics because mechanics don't effect the methods of play you should use to survive, you will only need to adjust to the mechanics. first tutorial will be with ptera, as its the best for beginners needing to learn the map and basics of the game. next will be steggo. hopefully this will help confirm that unless its a bug, its player error. and player error happens 8/10 times. you just dont want to admit it. but ill extend my olive branch to you beginners so you don't have to suffer thousands of deaths to understand the game. ill post first vid next week.
Thank you for coming out with this video Mombie! You're so correct about the wrong expectations being a big issue! The Isle warns you when you buy it that it's in alpha and still being developed so there will be bugs, crashes, ect. The devs are working everyday to bring us the best content that also follows their vision for their game. This game is hard, the PvP aspect makes it every bit as frustrating as it makes it thrilling, and it's really not for everyone! Love your videos good sir, thank you for the top tier content!
thx mate ♥ it's so lovely to see how many grounded people are out there. I love to make this videos for this reason the most. if I watch some other videos and read their comments, then I always get the feeling that this community is filled with ignorance and hate only. but, my community shows my every day that their are plenty of reasonable and lovely people out there and this gives me even more hope for this game
@@CrazyCryptid07 Yeah the isle was always somehow fun to me even in some of the most buggy or unbalanced stages :) They just have a really enjoyable concept in my ooinion
Even when the devs give very valid reasons as to why some things are the way they are.. people still don't listen. For example, the devs said that before then can just start making dinosaurs, they need to get all the major mechanics that will effect every dino in game working. They spent time working on bone break, pounce, gore, grapple and sparring and a lot other major mechanics so that they didn't have to worry about it making new dinos. The devs even said that after this.. they could start getting a lot more dinosaurs out, and people still don't listen and complain about not enough dinos. We got 6 dinos in 2023 alone(i think) and that's before all the major mechanics are done.. I'm sure they will be getting a lot more dinos out in the future if people are just patient.
@@Dynosaurus_rex to be honest the stage where there were only 6 dinos in evrima was some of the most fun I've had with it. I liked the map (or at least the popular points) and in my opinion the balance was very enjoyable (exept for full adult steho maybe)
It takes critical thinking and a tough skin to like/play games in development. I actually have several games I'm playing that are in Alpha stages. You just have to learn to set a game down if something is going sideways with it (lag, fatal errors, long update schedules). I'll leave a game for a month or so sometimes while the Devs iron out the wrinkles, or if I'm frustrated from waiting on a new playable or feature. The Long Dark has the same issues, and I love it just as much as I love the Isle. Respect the process people :)
well said. first of all you have to have the mindset for alpha and accept that there are times where it looks rather worse than better. like you said, best to move on in this time. even more, I also enjoy coming back after months, even years and being surprised by the progress. I didn't play star citizen between 2017 and 2023 and was amazed of the progress. while others who played it all the time were probably annoyed about the slow progress the long dark? jeez, I played that 5-6 years ago? even longer? was the time where I also played the forest. is tld still alpha? didn't check it out for a while, as I have uninstalled games disabled in my steam list
@@da.mombie Oh, you should totally check The Long Dark out, a LOT has been added and updated. There is cooking now, like recipes and stuff, and next week they're adding a mountain lion (barely contained excitement!)
The most fun I've had in the isle was honestly with the terrain a lot of the time. If they give us the tools (enough stam for certain small dinos with a high enough jump) then we can use them to climb around and use the terrain in interesting ways in combat, fleeing, just having fun or nesting. It's so fun to be an agile little thing that can jump around for me. When ptera was just released I would be a sub Utah and climb up to where they were nesting or jump down into some rock crevaces to sneak attack them and that was just amazing! Worked especially good in places with a waterfall to mask your noise. Very sad that hypsie doesn't have good stamina regeneration or stamina in general right now as far as I know. It doesn't have a lot, but these fun little aspects of it were good enough :( I hope they just add more terrain things. Like some interactable terrain, other than eating and drinking, like pushing things around or floods (which they will add, yay)
honestly, I am a little afraid of that. as you said, they want to add floods, spoke about forest fires or even volcanos once and also said that the likes of rex will be able to crush trees and fences. which sounds great at first, but, this will need so many server resources. they are passionate and have good ideas. but still they ain't and probably never will be the perfect code writers. as more such things will be implemented as better should be the server code to avoid thousands of issues with the performance. I can't say how much I hope that I am wrong on this one. but, my only worry about this game is that they want more than they can handle
@@da.mombie hm, okay true. With how laggy everything is even now that won't be good for the performance at all. Even in beasts of Bermudas where they have it, it can make the performance horrible sometimes, even if it is good otherwise. If it's possible, that's great, but it will still be a fun game if it isn't possible in my opinion, as long as the maps are good and there are fun dinosaurs to play as. I agree that they sometimes want more than they can handle too.
@@SmurfieDurfie I love their game and I'm very happy about what this little and less experienced team has already achieved. I also appreciate that they are aiming for the big targets. but, floods and big events are brutal to achieve without the server going on it's knees. on the other hand, it will be many more years until the game is ready and who knows, unreal engine 6 might do such a job with ease till then. hope dies last
Hey Mombie! Glad you put this out there. I completely agree with you. This game is in development so the community should all be trying to focus on giving feedback rather than focus on all the negative which doesn’t really help. Great video as always and hope your PC doesn’t give you much trouble. Much blessing!! ~Azura~
Deep thoughts Mombie, and very aware of what the game actually is, the game suits us both for same reasons, I was also that kid that made my own version of the car on the box
I always build my own stuff with all of my lego-sets being totally mixed up in one big box! I made space battleships with scale of humans being smaller than ants in mind.
@@Chareidos yeah, which each set I became back then, I was thinking of how it would fit to the parts I already had and what can I do with all combined I never build a space ship in human size tho, so respect
@@da.mombie It was not that big, but it was certainly inspired by the Space Balls parody to be extremely long and it got in its peak over half a meter. * ;) My scale was one lego block in its thickness representing 3 decks. I think I changed the front later and replaced it with a cockpit from the Aqua Sets (birckset 6155 back in the 90ies) to make it a Pirate SpaceFighter.
I play on the official servers. there are only 7 tho. I play every dino and so I often find myself in the situation that I have to play pachy (or whatever), but, on each of the 7 servers is a fully grown dino. so, I mostly kill the one who is fasted to grow
You tell it Mombie!!! You said it exactly as it is! I’m glad your PC got fixed and we can enjoyed your videos again, plus you can have fun making them😄
thx mate ♥ as I told your sister, I didn't have time to watch your newest movie by now, but, it's on my list. I am just pretty busy recently. but, I will. promised ;-)
@@da.mombie No problem Mombie! You have enough on your plate, just when you have time!!! I’m just glad you have your PC worked up for new videos! Can’t missed my shots of mombidios!!!😜
I agree with you! A whole lot in fact! This game is a niche, and I like it for that. The Isle has been special for me ever since I happend to stumble upon it on youtube when I was but a wee little boy. To change so much just so a small part of the community can be pleased is simply absurd and would upset more people than it would please. Like you said, nothing can be amazing for everyone. Another mans garbage is another mans treasure... eh, not exactly the best quote for this topic, but you know what I mean. :P And small little nitpick about everyone freaking out about the hordetest. Sure, it's annoying to see that every single time, but on the bright side, it brings the message faster that something needs to be done about it XD
@@ThePooPoo-xb2yv you think I have another account to agree with myself? yeah, in fact I have 13k accounts and that's the reason why I have so many subscribers. it's a huge fake community. you are also fake, you are just another of my accounts who is made to cover the other accounts. it would be suspicious if nobody would write nonsense
sry for the late answer, I was at work yeah, many people don't even know the original idea of the game, but complain that the devs don't listen. in fact they listened quite a lot tho. for some probably already too much. in my opinion they do a good job walking on this edge. the problem is, each little part of the community think he/she is the majority and if they don't do exactly what those people expect, then they didn't listen ^^ in fact tho, there is no majority in this community. just many different groups and opinions. yeah, of course criticism and feedback helps them to adapt. but, many of the complains aren't useful at all and far from reality ^^ I would even say 80% of the criticism is nothing but crybaby stuff
@@da.mombie Now now Mombie. No need to apologise for real life things! Just happy that you're still making lovely content! Also, uh, sidenote. ThePooPoo is a subscriber of mine. They weren't referring to you, but to me >->
I don't say there is nothing to criticize at all. but, most of the complains I see in the thumbnails of other videos or in my comments is nothing but crybaby stuff, based on wrong expectations. I am so sick of people crying after every change and telling us the game will die. jeez, this game died 30 times since I play evrima
If your average isle RUclipsr sees this video they would hard disagree but I completely agree as a paleo nerd all I ever wanted was to feel like I’m a dinosaur in it’s natural environment and the isle is the closest I’ve ever gotten to that so I hold this game close to my heart and hope it succeeds someday
many people and also some of those youtubers have wrong expectations. but, I don't care about them. not at all. I care about the game and by now it follows the vision both of us and many others incl. the devs share. this game isn't designed for casual players and it doesn't need them. in fact, they are teh ones who would ruin the game. anyway, many niche games have a rather small, but loyal community. that's what I always loved about niche games. silent hunter also had a small, but very loyal community which played the game for many many years. therefore, I am pretty sure the game will flourish on the long run. it will take some more years and there will be more setbacks in between, but, it will be successful. I am as sure as you can be playing an alpha
@@da.mombie thank you for replying and I love your positivity even for a game that has some kinda mean devs some of them are mean not all a lot of people forget to specify
@@Mr.Pteranodon I don't care about the personality of the devs. that's childish. I don't have to love bill gates to use windows. I care about the game. dondi seems to have a pretty similar vision for the game as I do and that's all which matters. I ain't happy with each of his decisions, but, I also ain't happy with each decision windows made. you can't expect the game to be exactly like you want. because each of us has a slightly different view. not even within the devs they all want the same game. if you read filipe's comments, then some people can be glad dondi is in charge. filipe doesn't even want any AI beside tiny ones like frogs for juvies. but, nothing of that matters. all I expect from an alpha is constant development. the huge collapse of legacy throw the game back in time. but, before and since then, there is constant development. the game made a lot of progress.
@@da.mombie all the players recently quitting the game is making me nervous I mean it’s a game that’s fun aspect is purely based off player interaction but if so many people quit before the games even out yet than the only dinosaur game that accomplished my dream as feeling like a dinosaur in its natural habitat will be ruined by no diversity in servers and I can already see that happening servers are getting smaller and smaller in player count I do not know weather it has something to do with the current state of the game or if everyone’s just on the horde test right now but I hope you can understand me
@@Mr.Pteranodon the main players aren't quitting. just those who nobody needs. don't let yourself get fooled by the many rage videos and people who tell nonsense. if you check the steam charts, then you will see it has a pretty constant player base and this won't change. steamcharts.com/app/376210 so many people told me so often that people are quitting and the devs ruined the game, so nobody will play anymore. srsly, people are telling me this with almost every update since update 4. the steam charts don't lie tho and paint a very different picture.
Alot of the people complaining the game is unplayable are running subpar PCs, I was on a 1080ti (Godly gpu lasted 5+ years and is still going) before building a new rig with a 4070ti, performance is night and day, are there stutters, yes, does performance dip when there are tons of bodies, meat chunks and players in a cell, yes. Other than that, fatal errors and crashes have gone down since upgrading, plus there's DLSS, not a fix, but it atleast alleviates some of the performance problems. Now my only problem is latency, which is beyond my control, living on an island in the middle of nowhere and all that.
I say it’s unplayable because of unfinished issues like falling into the map and eating bugs out. Also falling into pockets and through rocks and getting stuck.
@@hodgeez But that's in a lot of games, and that hardly makes it unplayable. And even if YOU find it unplayable, why not wait a year or so while they iron things out? I have a ton of games in my backlog and more that are coming out that look fun. I love the Isle, but I'm taking a break from it for a bit until it has more content or is considered good enough to replace legacy.
@@dragongirl89115 I agree with you about taking a break until it’s not so clunky. However with the isle a year is not enough time since the progress is painfully slow. I do disagree with about most games having bugs, the isle far exceeds most games with unfinished/bugs.
that's such a good point. I loved the 1080 and it was a good GPU. but, like you said, it's a 8!!! years old GPU. to expect that the game runs properly is like expecting a PS5 game to run properly on a PS4. many people in my comments were complaining about performance beside using a 970!!!!! a 970!!!! for ... sake ^^ yes, the performance is far from stable and yes, it's not among the best written codes I've ever witnessed. but, with proper hardware it runs pretty well for an alpha. would it be a ready game, then my demands would be much higher and I wouldn't be satisfied with the performance at all. but, as long as it isn't polished, you have to expect performance issues. living on an isle in the middle of nowhere was my dream many years ago but, yeah, like every place, it also seems to have it's downside
Sorry , do you know if an integrated Gpu could run this game? Because in the steam specs there is written "without a dedicated GPU the game won't work." , Yet the new AMD 780M proved to be a great iGpu, and I'm looking for the new 890M on the AI HX370 that should be even faster (around a 1060Ti/2050 performance) so I was asking.. the real problem with them is the low power they offer? or just the fact that the game is not optimized for the integrated GPUs? Thank you alot!
MMn. Kann sogar der ingame Chat weg. Den „lernen durch schmerzen“ Aspekt finde ich hier absolut richtig, ebenso sich die Map Kenntnis aneignen zu müssen. Ich höre und lese auch immer wieder „warum keine map, warum kein global Chat, warum keine Stats“ fehlt nur noch das die Dinos hier mit Gewehren rumlaufen so wie sich manche das Spiel vorstellen.
sehe ich genauso. darum sag ich immer, wenn man gerne eine gesundheitsanzeige hat, ingame map und waymarker, dann soll man halt PoT spielen. diese spiele dienen zwei sehr unterschiedlichen gruppen. bis auf dinos haben die nichts gemeinsam. zwei komplett unterschiedlich genres. ich mag halt the isle mehr und hab lieber wenig leute die auch so denken, als viele leute die das spiel drehen wollen zu etwas was es nie sein wollte und hoffentlich nie wird. von daher bin ich sogar froh dass dondi so "stur" ist. was er ja eigentlich gar nicht ist. er bleibt halt seiner idee halbwegs treu. er bleibt ja nicht mal 100% treu, aber immerhin treu genug um jene, welche das spiel eben wegen dem leiden und der immersion lieben
Basistotalitäre Zustimmung ^^ Only reason why I stand away from The Isle atm is the surge of toxic players recently (nest griefing) and hackers. (and performance issue due to lags). Sometimes you need to wait it out and do other stuff that is more soothing to your nerves. ;) I am still waiting for a little change for Ptera. Though it got better, it still needs some love. Either lower stam cost, higher stam pool or faster regen. Just ONE of them would make it feel more round again. ^^ Thanks for sharing your opinion. I hope you will find a solution with your cooling problems. I always limit my FPS at 60 and since a few updates ago, go over for lower settings. Unreal engine is sometimes so demanding without any apparent reason.
I am totally with you. during ark I stopped playing several times. it was unplayable during the alpha at certain updates. step back, play something else and give it another try some months or even years later. I didn't play star citizen from 2017 to 2023. no big deal at all. it's alpha. if I wouldn't do my videos, then I would also have had some breaks in between. in fact, I also always loved to come back after a year or so. to get surprised by many new features instead of being bored of the existing features while I am desperately waiting for the next update. doesn't make much sense yeah, ptera really needs some love thx, my PC is fine again. the water pump was broken. got a new one and it even still was within the guarantee and therefore free
I never payed on any unofficial legacy server. not once. so, what are you talking about? I would also prefer rex and trike to be on the officials from start on. but, they think they don't fit into the roaster. so what? this won't effect the progress of the game at all. just a decision I don't like. no big deal and nothing to worry about. all that matters is progress and not our personal preferences
Die Lernkurve ist enorm, das macht es aber auch spannend. Ich zocke auch schon seit Jahren, fand Legacy zum Teil total geil, Evrima ging überhaupt nicht. Die Performance war grottig, mittlerweile geht es. Das Spiel hat so viel Potential, mal schauen was noch kommt..
es ist eben ein spiel das man lieben muss. man muss leiden und sich reinwühlen um erfolgreich zu sein. ich persönlich habe immer solche spiele geliebt. schon am amiga hab ich fa18 interceptor geliebt. ich glaub ich hab eine woche gebraucht bis ich den flieger mal in die luft bekam und wahrscheinlich 3 monate bis ich zum ersten mal sicher gelandet bin. da sprechen wir noch nicht mal vom luftkampf selbst ich bin positiv was the isle betrifft. es wird noch lange dauern und viele kleine rückschläge geben, aber im gesamten machen sie einen guten job, haben gute ideen, sehr viel leidenschaft, liebe zum detail und die umsetzung wird auch irgendwann funktionieren
i think my main issue with the game is how long its been in development and how slow updates are, considering they have made an estimated 28-30 million in revenue and over 10 years in development, other than that i don't really have a problem with the direction they choose to go, if i don't like it ill move onto another game. iv got 600 hours of value from the game already so thats worth the price i paid.
that's the best you can do with every alpha. just stop playing in between and come back as soon as there is more content. all together 9 years is a quite a lot, but, evrima is alpha since 2020. so, 4 years. if you think back how BAD evrima was in update 1, then they have come a long way within those 4 years. I don't know how much money they earned and if they could hire 20 more devs to speed things up, but, 30% of the revenue goes to steam, taxes have to be paid as well and each employee earns quite some money a year, too. anyway tho, for that tiny team they did quite well imo. even if we all would love things to be done quicker
@@da.mombie yeah you make a decent point it was a absolute mess at the start of evrima, and honestly thats what im doing atm, moved onto POT while updates come out so i can forget about evrima for a while
@@Xxnightwolf66xX I played update 1 for about 5 hours and was that angry that I had a break until update 3 it was a disaster. I am glad you enjoy PoT meanwhile and thx for your comment. I am happy about every reasonable person
So i play the isle since it came out around 2014/2015 can't remember for sure. You have me as a follower because you have a brain that understands the game's objective. I also have POT and for me is just horrible in every single way (having all the dinos sliding/floating with 0 mechanics doesn't give credits lol, like i am playing a game from 2010 or less).. if i could i would sell pot and support dondi again because they didn't quit and have actually been improving the game overall. Also, i feel we are getting to a zone where the updates may start to be more regular then before which may lead to a lot of new players and servers with more people (above 200+ per server).
srsly, everyone who ACTUALLY followed the development HAS to cheer these devs. yes, if you didn't follow closely and just look at the numbers, then it looks terrible. 9 years alpha, still no end in sight. but come on, before you (not you) bash and call them stupid, inform yourself, otherwise you look like a fool ^^ so many people have no idea of the reason for evrima or the original game idea. the many clickbait title videos don't help either. I have the feeling, the more you bash the devs, the more clicks you get. even worse, if you watch videos which don't even know what they are talking about. it's unbelievable how many nonsense I saw and how it got repeated in comments over all kind of the isle videos. sometimes it feels like a russian bot army I am pretty sure this game will flourish and I also hope the update interval will shorten as soon as they have all the still needed mechanics (like crush and so on). but, we have to be realistic. this game will be alpha for many more years. almost 50 dinos are yet to come. we are speaking of 4-5 years at least. which is totally fine to me tho, as long as it makes progress. which it does. we just have to look how far we have come from update 3 about 3 years ago
I AGREE 100% ABOUT GRAPPLE!!! I’ve been thinking the EXACT same thing. I get its bad, but when people think of how to “fix” it when, those ideas are literally how the devs INTEND for it to be in release is just ironic. Like, its buggy dude. Chill out people, they literally want grapple to be exactly how most people want it to be. They’re on our side lol. I feel like everyone as a whole, not just from a Christian perspective like myself but as a human being perspective, we need to just forgive eachother ofthe bad things we do or have done. Because people get angry and talk about how the devs are bad or arrogant or whatever and then they do pretty much the same thing with the “constructive criticism” videos. They’ll say it’s constructive criticism, which, it is, but I personally at least, feel like they always most of the time turn it around and say something, whether intentional or not, super offensive. Pretty much the same thing is happening with grapple. 90% of the titles and thumbnails say “grapple is broken, how to fix grapple, grapple is aweful” etc. Im gonna stop ranting as Im just yapping at this point lol but you get my point. No one’s perfect, lets just stop being idiots and just try to be positive for once. Grapple is still HEAVY WIP as they stated in the patch-notes, and WILL be improved. Hope ya’ll are doing well, God bless you.
thx ♥ honestly, I was always the community guy and mostly against devs. specially the likes of ubisoft and so on. but, this community makes it hard for me to be on their side. in fact, I almost start to hate some parts of the community. so many have no idea at all. they don't know anything about development, alpha, the original game idea, the devs, their intentions, the features which arrive and their intentions, the long time goals or anything. they are clueless people, but love to hate and bash the devs. just because the game isn't like they want. selfish fools who love nothing more than crying and complaining. even if they never achieved anything in life themselves. but they know how things should be done. yeah, sure ^^
that's a good point. even if my personal statistic doesn't match it. 5% are below 18 about 70% between 18 and 35 and the rest older and even my age and beyond but, I know I don't represent the isle players. our community is also just a little part of the whole playerbase.
@@da.mombie ye maybe u right i just go by what i see on discord when im on their from time to time so yours might be more accuared ^^ and btw can u change your statistic to 18-36 so i dont feel like im old xD
Play evrima for couple of years now and sc since 6 years... so yes the game isnt feature complete, its a alpha. But i like new testing servers that give the normal servers a bit more stability. I hate games that try or force to held my hand all the time, one of the best feature of the game is the HUD... barely any information given and that makes it great. Sandbox games like the isle and star citizen are those kind sandboxes that i really like, sandboxes where the majority of the fun comes from players.
same here. I love the interaction in those games. RDR2 had a great story and I was close to tears when Arthur died. but, I had more funny, more surprising, more weird, more lovely, more tense, more frightening, more of everything when it comes to emotions during moments that I shared with other players in those kind of games
I mean, there are things that ruin the game (current grapple), but that doesn't mean it's unfixable, which most Isle players think I guess (from the clickbait title)? The devs will or will be forced to make changes to certain things and they want the best for us (or at least they try most of the time).
why always so dramatic? grapple ruin the game? it's a new feature. of course it isn't perfect at the start. it will be further adapted and be fine in the end. some months ago people were crying that the devs ruined omni. it's weak, it's useless, it's a bag of s***. buhu, the whole game is dying because they nerfed omni so badly. now omni is OP and it's new feature will ruin the game. jeez, how often will I have to read that the game will be ruined until it's ready? nobody will care if a feature was OP during the development. not even the super hysteric crybabies, who have a mental breakdown after every change, will care as soon as the game is ready. so pls mate, don't listen to those crybabies. I know you are too smart to follow this nonsense ♥
@@da.mombie Oh I was sarcastic about it, ofc it won't ruin the game, because the devs will fix it (by "grapple ruining the game": I meant if the devs don't fix it for a long time, but it's literally in a beta inside of a beta, so it will not cause any trouble). The only thing that could actually ruin it is if it's popularity began to shrunk, which will never happen since the Isle is the king of the dinosaur games, alongside with PoT and BoB.
@@patrikresz2706 sorry, I misread it then. you shocked me their as I said in the last sentence, judged on your many comments, you seem to be a smart person. yeah, I also don't think the numbers will drop that quickly. even more because so many people tell me this for years now. it never happened
@@da.mombie No problem. The Isle will never die, because there is almost no competition, no matter how much the devs fuck up the balance (and then fix it).
@@patrikresz2706 honestly, I would love other games to pop up. but, I highly doubt it. this market too much of a niche for big studios and other new alpha projects would be too far behind at this point
What do you mean by high expectations? That's not so. Or is the need to fix a fatal error that has been around for two months an overstated expectation? :\ I don't expect a bunch of game dinosaurs, rex, instant fix of any problems and the rest from this game. I just want to play this game and nothing more. And every time it turns into a struggle with flaws. It has been in development for too long, legacy is too broken, and euryma is unstable. I don't want to go to games like The isle. I only like The isle. I was ready to play it with bad fps with a handful of dinosaurs. And when I say that I don't like that the developers spent 6 months developing 1 dinosaur, which eventually turned out to be incomplete at the time of release (Diablo), I don't like getting fatal errors every session of mine for two months, Are these overestimated expectations? No -this is the absolute chaos of the development of this project, which began back in the days of Legacy . The problem is not with the people, but with the style of development and the speed of content release. There are always high expectations, in any project, there are always uncles who want everything and always. But The isle has a high entry threshold for players, it's not for everyone. Those who want everything have long gone to PT or other games. Now Evrima players know exactly what they want - to play the game at a decent level
sry mate, your comment just shows you are one of those who have no idea at all, but a strong opinion. a fatal error which is in the game for 2 months? are you serious? a fatal error isn't a fatal error. there are thousand of different triggers for an fatal error along the way of developing a game and they are around since update 1 ^^ the rest of your comment is the typical I have no idea what alpha means nonsense. not being able to inform or educate yourself about a topic, but blaming the others. great job mate
@@da.mombie I just expressed my opinion, and I don't have any ideas? Why these insults? It's unpleasant to hear this from my favorite RUclipsr by the isle
Just gonna point out that they've been working on at least 4 other playables (not counting Dibble) within that time. Those being, Trike, Rex, Maia and the mystery creature.
@@rensaio I am sorry mate. I am pretty mad on this topic meanwhile and in special when it comes to alpha things which are nothing but normal. so, I might have been too harsh. of course you are free to have your opinion. if you prefer PoT, then I wish you all the best with it. as I always said, none of these games is better. they just serve different types of players. so, if you prefer PoT, then it just says something about what type of player you are. but, to me the problem are the people and their wrong expectations. the devs do pretty well in my opinion and I very much like what they are doing. if others think different, then I welcome them to move on. because like I said in the video, I rather have a small community of people who love the game for what it is, than a big community of people who want to change the game.
im hoping for more ai in the future. i got 3 kids that would prefer co op vs ai and dont want to play in the games heavy pvp state. so i hope they find a way to make both pve and pvp good
it will take many more years until AI will be on a acceptable level. AI is something even big studios struggle a lot. specially in combat. thousands of NPCs stucking in walls testify my words but, their aim is to make every dino as AI available for server admins. for exactly that reason. you can design your own little PVE game to hang out with friends only
one thing to keep in mind mombie, this is a dino game and most boys had a dino phase at some point so there is that allure, and the current choices are the isle evrima, Path of Titans, and that bermuda one, POT is very different, the bermuda also not this feeling so Evrima has a monopolium on this genre and the devs do abuse this power... Because of these things, there will be players who want more, and their number will be significant, and they will voice their frustrations which the devs fuel with their gaslighting and overall unprofessional attitude, banning for nothing, like no problem with grapple when they know it broke the balance... If the problem were only present on the hordetest, this wouldnt be an issue but the public game is full of bugs and imperfection, frustrating things which even wastes hours of someone life, growing a dino AFK IS NOT GAMEPLAY... This is my experience as a complete beginner playing as a croc, my first dino: I was spawned in somewhere close to the reservoir, at night, nightvision was worthless, OUTSIDE OF THE WATER as a croc, I didnt understand nothing except I need water ASAP... I couldnt see anything, too dark, even at daylight I got lost. I lost 4 crocks until I was finally spawned next to the water, and no I couldnt read the compass at the time because there was no explanation... So I finally was in water, I saw a school of fish I swam close wanting to eat realizing the fish is just cosmetic, they have no physical bodies underwater... I may have caught one because there was sg sticking out of my mouth but I couldnt eat it... this is a common bug, deino can have a piece of meat stuck in their mouth if the appropriate animation doesnt play... How difficult it is to fix this? This happened a few months back, the problem was a few years old, I confirmed that... With a random guy who helped me fish, we "hunted" bit a mentally handicapped fish then tried to eat it, I didnt know you need to swim ashore to eat, which is kinda weird for a game priding itself on realism... After some frustration the problem was solved we headed to hunt more, but as we swam down the river we fell into a hole, both of us into a separate hole... So its in the river right after the mini waterfall, underwater but there is no water, I need to jump about 10 cm to get out but I cant jump, so Im stuck and so was my buddy we both ended such a pathetic way as beginners... What kind of experience is that for newbies? Pitchblack at daytime in shadows, pitchblack on moonlit nights under a 2 trees but nothing else, a platora of random bugs making the experience even more jarring... I like what works but the devs do sell this game AS A GAME not as what really is, beta tester experience... Also the roster... Most people want to play as a big iconic dino or at least a medium awesomeness, not many want to play as a dogsized dino, there is the game Stray for such experience... Sorry for the wall of text, I really like your vids and that you are clearly passionate about the game, but even as a newcomer I believe I can see serious problems WHICH are not the fault of the PAYING CUSTOMERS... Also lot of customers of this game are children, you really expect understanding and research from a 10 yo? Thats not how people work... Btw I played about 4 times, couple of hours each session until I final realized the water droplet and the curvy symbol on the compass indicates water... I thought it meant rotten food... No tutorial is not good.
Afk gameplay is a choice. You need more experience with the game. I couldn't count the amount of times i have died due to getting lost in the jungle. Not understanding how the ui works. Everything has a learning curve, and especially in this hard core world in evrima your gonna die. You have to let go of the fact that your choosing to spend your time growing a Dino. How about instead of choosing a Dino that takes hours and hours of game time to grow, choose something that will familiarise yourself to the game, ie pteradon, galli, troodon, raptor, or pachy. Going straight into playing a deino and expecting a 100% survival rate is not the way to go about it. And is actually on you for your own frustrations. Use ptera, fly around look at landmarks learn the map and what it's all about, and then once you have a good feel or idea of it then dive into creatures that are difficult to grow. It's not that difficult.
sry for the late answer, but it was already later yesterday and your comment needs a proper answer. first of all, this is no offense. but, you show very well what's wrong with the expectations of the community. you are new to the game, have no idea about the development of it (which isn't your fault as you are new to the party) and probably watched many youtube videos to get into the game. like many do, as the game doesn't support you much at the start. then you find all those clickbait youtubers which tell you what's wrong and how bad the devs are. you haven't much experience, but, already some frustrating moments. because these are the first experiences in this type of games. so your brain connects these frustrating moments with what you hear in those bash videos and it sounds very reasonable. like... oh yeah, I had this experience too and yeah, I would also like this to be like that and oh yeah, this seems really unbalanced because I already died that way too. you form a strong opinion pretty early without having much knowledge about the whole situation. first of all, the isle was never meant to be a children's game. the isle also never meant to be a dino game for everyone. it's a dino game in tarkov style. like you mentioned yourself, it's pretty different to PoT and BoB. the first sentence on their steam page says "The Isle is intended to be a gritty, open-world survival horror game." the keyword is gritty. to write about so many hours wasted and AFK grow just shows perfectly well that you and everyone who does think like that, actually don't like this type of games. you expect something different. but, that's not what the isle is about or ever meant to be. I and many others expect exactly that type of game which it is and just because there is no other proper dino game out there, you and those who want another game expect the devs to change it to your ideas. but no. they don't listen to you. they stick to their plan to do the game they wanted to do from start on. which I and many others very much appreciate. that said, they even changed things to favor those who want a different experience. but, these people don't even see that, because they have no idea of that game was even meant to be. so, from their point of view it looks like they aren't listening. which is the biggest nonsense around. your whole first deino experience and your complains about the tutorial show even more that you aren't the type of player for this game. you are fascinated by the immersion, but don't even know where it comes from. I love that there are no hints and that you have to get that knowledge by your own. that's part of the immersion. to speak about balance is the next typical beginner mistake. you have no idea about balancing at this stage. you don't even know what balance means in this game. the balance is survive, not fight. each dino shall be able to survive, not to match other dinos in fights. some are supposed to be balanced in a fight and others aren't supposed to do so. in general this is and never will be a balanced game at all. even if you balance a teno vs a carno perfectly well, then you still have 99 out of 100 times an unbalanced fight. because it is a 3vs1, and adult vs a juvie, a 2000 hour main vs a new player. there is no balance in this game. people who complain about balance have no idea of how this game actually works. these are the typical PVP mains who complain because the latest change destroys their tactics which they have mastered. balance. what a nonsense catchphrase in within the community. last but not least. it is an alpha. so, to complain about any bug is ridiculous and something I won't even go into it anymore. if you don't like alpha and can't handle bugs, then don't buy an alpha game. period. even more, your first experience wasn't great, so what? this is no game which rewards you and activates your dopamine by giving you XP for doing almost nothing at the start and still getting a level up. like most other games are designed to do. it's a dayz style experience. you shall suffer. if you don't like it, then this isn't your type of game. that simple. like I said, this is no offense. you aren't the bad mate here. but, you are the typical example of how all this hate gets transported and hyped up more and more for no reason but having no idea of the game and it's original design. people are coming into the isle and don't even know what kind of game it is and mostly not even know what an alpha experience means. then they realize that it isn't what they expected and want the devs to change it. that's the problem of the isle. not the devs
@@soulfullcreations7308 yeah a choice but thats what most do, or are you trying to suggest one should be actively walk around the isle as a baby stego??? below 40%??? you will be a very easy meal
@@da.mombie No worries Mombie, Im glad you even decided to reply😁 Ok so I may be relatively new BUT I did my due diligence, I did research the game, stats, there is even that map where you can see all the food sources, migration zones etc... I know about the devs, the fiasco of losing everything to the employee / cofounder who took years of work worth of data... Or the pedo controversy, or that the devs actively ban people on their discord on false pretenses, like spreading misinformation... On reddit though there are lot of positive posts, but like 40-60% of it is negative, depends on the current events, and I read lots of them and they are valid criticisms mostly not always... You are saying essentially that my and lots of other people's expectations are the problem and not the game... So Ive been around long enough to know omni was weak and pathetic for months now they became OP with the pinning as of the current hordetest... Because of the darkness and stamina Ptera was almost unplayable NOT MY OPINION but most people claimed this... Night being too dark FOR A LONG TIME so much so that it was unplayable, too often bad weather, so amost complete dark at daytime... My problem with these quality of life BUGS / INCONVINIENCES isnt that its alpha BUT HOW DARE THE DEVS LEAVE IN BUGS in an alpha, my problem that WHY they dont hire more people, so 1-2 guys could actively scout sites like reddit with lost of free bug reports AND literally play the game and find such an easily fixable wide array of bugs LIKE the weather darkness problem or the food stuck in deino because animation bug so croc cant eat and need to reconnect to server for a fix... The devs chose to not hire more workforce so they can churn out more dino in a timely fashion as well as fix bugs more efficiently than in half a year patches... Also getting stuck was just fixed after such a long time... With that unstuck command... This isnt fun gameplay discovery thing, this is jarring easy to fix bugs but ignored for so long for no reason... Regarding alpha, the game on steam can be read as it was RELEASED IN 2015, this is how I first saw it there... I needed to ask around to know what legacy, evrima and hordetest is because it wasnt obvious... In the EU at least, although maybe games are different BUT you have to put out a certain quality AND it doesnt matter if you say its an alpha if you accept money for it, since then ITS A PRODUCT thus the devs DO OWE the CUSTOMERS a certain level of quality... They essentially sell the game as a completed finished product, that is the buggy chinese infested Legacy, with that the Evrima which is in alpha which I didnt know since they dont warn about that because you are sold legacy which is finished AND abandoned... No one warns you about this... Look mombie, I have a strong opinion on this that the isle is here, and not further A LOT ahead in development, is their fault not ours, I do recognize there are lots of trolls and aholes among the gamers users as well, so we both the devs and the gamers are to be blamed... But at the end of the day people like dinos, will come here and get jaded by the unprof attitude of these devs... Most want to experience a fun dino game, nothing more nothing less. Btw on how to play stego: I looked up advice, solo that is, you need to grow AFK up until 30% to have a fighting chance, thats the most accepted way to play stego solo so no nested in... thats about 1.5 hour of doing almost nothing and that can end in a few minutes or seconds, no other game Ive ever played has such 'feature'... Btw one final thing, I only watch you so mombie, owltime, metta and the saphireceratos that semi official channel where that youtuber only posts dev replys, and one more occasionally but I dont remember the name, I dont watch BASH CHANNELS as you stated... There is a healthy criticism which the devs though grudgingly understood and changed the game accordingly for which I praise them...
Azuria, that's the point of the game. If you are walking in the open, making noises, being in clear view, Then you will be preyed upon. Is that what you would do in a real survival situation?. If you had people hunting you, would you call out to them? No, you sneak around bushes, always blocking line of sight between you and anyone else. It's your play style that is letting you down, not the game. You need to learn what survival is. How to survive. Put your mind Into the world of the character you are playing. Vigilant of your surroundings, Be cautious of the sounds you make, If you cant see what's in front of you, then don't run, Would you run blind in real life? If you dying to cliffs it's because you weren't aware of where you are going. If you're not aware of your surroundings then take it slow. Take accountability for your own mistakes and learn from them. This isn't going to hold your hand like mum and dad. Does your adrenaline heart start pumping when you are hunting or being hunted? Your eyes widen and becoming more zoned in? Fear causing through your mind? That is the survival state of mind. The reptilian brain. It's the oldest part of the human brain. This game represents that state of mind. You harness that idea and put it into the game play style. You will survive. If you play with the idea of safety, then your gonna die. That world is not safe.
what? they made legacy and had to stop for serious reasons. the lead programmer left the company and nobody could read and further develop the old code that dude wrote. so, they had to start all over again and restarted the project with evrima. anyway, evrima is also alpha. it's sold in steam as alpha
Its not about testing a feature on a HT branch , its that the isle devs cannot implement a feature as even approximately balanced ; its either completely broken or trash or illogical. There is never a middle ground. Its like if you want to test spicy ice cream in a market and put the worlds hottest chilly in it ,and then when the customers say this goes beyond common sense , you take a month to fix it. It just reflects poorly on their decision making , that's why people have grounds to be unhappy.
yes, these devs love to test to the extreme. but, first of all it is an alpha, so I don't care. everyone who is looking for the perfect gaming experience should question himself buying an alpha. even more, personally I love the different phases. sometimes omni is super strong, then super weak again. I enjoy this during an alpha game. but, even more important. balance is totally overrated. it's the biggest nonsense in this game. even if you balance a carno vs a teno perfectly well, in 99 out of 100 situations you will have a 2vs1, a 4vs1, a 6vs2 or a juvie vs a an adult, a 2000 hour main vs a new player. balance doesn't exist. in fact, we can choose if we want a balanced fight. every fight we start, we have the chance to find an opponent that is quite fairly balanced. but, guess what, most people prefer to fight with an advantage. so, there will never be balance in this game anyway.
of course it is frustrating, but, it's alpha. if you expect a perfect gaming experience, then you have to wait until it is ready. but, you can't expect a game to be free of bugs and crashes during the development. that's unrealistic. what do you think GTA looked like in the middle of development?
The team making the game no matter alpha or beta or testing or released is producing less than optimised experiences that is ruining and wasting the time of the people who play. The game needs some serious fixes. Overall the average median experience with playing Evrima is frustration. I can only spout my suggestion of removing this version untill it is ready to be released while allowing selected testers to use and to give feed back and get resolved in a timely manner. In my opinion since its release its been a embarrassment.
how selfish can someone be? you don't enjoy it and that's why they should remove it? how about you just stop playing it and let the ones who enjoy it have fun? why should the people who love playing the game suffer, just because you don't enjoy it? just stop playing. isn't that complicated. but to keep playing and complain is ridiculous. even more to demand to remove it. sry mate, I am shocked by that level of selfishness.
bro, the devs are horrid and abuse their power like manchildren, this game is extremely unsatisfying with all the bad changes they've made and the constant bugs, letting devs get away with this by saying its a test or EA is a big cope. I enjoy the game for what it is, but the moment another game does the same thing as isle but works I'm jumping ship.
I just don't understand how people are so hurt by a 30 dollar game? I have over 1000 hours in a 30 dollar game. Yes it can be frustrating at times, but what game these days isn't? Have you played gta online? Horrible with hackers. You can't even leave your own house without being blown up by some hacker. And rockstar is a billion dollar company and still can't manage to keep hackers out?. I could give lists, reasons and examples all day of the gaming industry as is. Atleast with the isle you have constant communication with the developers, whether the ideas are good or bad in your or my opinion. And that's the real truth of the matter everyone has a different opinion. And do you not think it's an abuse of power by the 'community' to create a whole eco system around hating a game because you were hurt by what was said, or didn't agree with something? This type of behaviour should be directed towards your politicians, not some EA 30 dollar game. It just sounds so crazy. By all means give feedback, it's needed. Please tell me how you were physically mentally abused by this game and its developers? How this 30 dollar game and its developers are so horrible to you that makes you so angry at the game. But yet come back because no one else quite does it like the isle does?
I played more than 30 alpha games and the experience was everywhere the same. some devs were even worse, some better, some did communicate more, some less, some failed, some flourished, but one thing had all in common. bugs, bad performance, decisions which didn't please everyone and updates which felt like a step back in between. business as usual. just because you seem to have less experience with alpha, doesn't mean they are bad or you have any right to complain about it. it's alpha. if you don't like that concept, then don't buy it. but to buy an alpha and complain about constant bugs and decisions which don't suit your interests is ridiculous. even more to think that decisions were bad just because you dislike them. I also don't like each of their decisions, but I am not that entitled to think it's bad just because I don't like it. because other people might like these decisions. well, I would also turn my back on the isle if there would be another dino game that suits my style better. I am no fanboy. I am a gamer. but I am also a realist. dino games are a niche and that type of dino game I am looking for (dayz like) is even a bigger niche. so, I highly doubt any big studio will ever touch such a game and I also doubt another little studio will pop up and do a better game in less time. but, I would love to be wrong on that
@@soulfullcreations7308 so well said. it's ridiculous how people hate these devs. especial if you compare them to the reality of gaming. nobody cares that rockstar is sucking our money for years now, with the online version of a 10 year old game which is still full of bugs and hacker. but, the isle devs are the bad ones and nothing but devils themselves ^^
@soulfullcreations7308 so we excuse other devs because another dev is worse? No, we hold them all accountable. Everyone shits on gta online. And people have a right to be annoyed that a game they paid for barely functions. I say barely to be nice. The number of hackers is abysmal for a game where growing a dino takes hours only yo have your fun stopped short by bugs or hackers. Funny enough path of titans is run by a previous dev of the aisle, and that game functions really well, especially combat hit boxes. The only issue is that it's more mmo and not survival, which is the only appeal the isle has atm
@da.mombie echoes of extinction have a dev making a very similar game to this but actually have enthusiasm and passion about it. I have high hopes for sure.
Who remembers the hope trailer? thats the game i thought we were getting instead we get whatever this is. Nobody even nests anymore because you gotta keep moving to the mzones. Im sure by the end it will be an amazing game but the time its gonna take to get there i might not even be around anymore im not even joking if they intend to bring out 4 dinos a year then its gonna take 8.5 years until they are all out i will be 50 years old.
Lol Hope wasn't even a trailer it was a preview video showing that there's Hope for the games future as the Devs aren't leaving with all of Legacy's profits. Dino releases are whatever, for 4 years they've been held back as every mechanic added within that time is to be added onto existing playable's instead of having all their features like Dibble.
Why would presume they are only going to do 4 dinosaurs a year? They've already stated that they are done with new dino mechanics, and it will make it faster to develop the creatures since the base is already there. I'm happy they aren't taking the easy route and pumping out as many dinos as they can. They tried that once and it turned into a mess.
Making sub adults slower than adults for no reason, game having a breakdown from 15 bodies laying around even on a nasa computer(so hard to fix), 2 omnis pinning a fully grown cera that takes double the time to grow and making him lose half his hp, a troodon thats 133x smaller than the largest dino yet takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to grow and can get two shoted by the whole roster on its tail Peak game design right here but its justified because game is in alpha and these things take so much time to fix of course
ello everyone ♥
sorry for the bad quality and sound fluctuations. I had troubles to make it, because my PC often ran hot and I had to turn it off to recover. so, I hadn't as much time for the quality control and also not enough time for the perfect wording. I hope you got my points tho and it may even help some people to better understand their decisions and the direction of the game in general.
the good news is, my PC got fixed meanwhile and runs without problems again
Was ich fragen wollte streamst du eigentlich auch oder nur videos
@@corey2629 nö, ich bin schon mit dem ingame chat überfordert
@@da.mombie überfordert?
@@corey2629 ja, überfordert. multitasking ist nicht so mein ding
I've been playing the isle for 8 years. I will probably be playing 8+ years from now. I will stand by this game and its development until either I die or it dies. It's been rough for sure, but it's also been a great experience. I think what would really be amazing if the devs opened up limited modding abilities to the community. Not to the extent that legacy allowed, but things like maps and skins would be neat. Just a thought.
till the bitter end! I like that
mods will come at some point anyway. I also understand why they didn't implement them by now. you could see it best in PoT. mod quetzl felt like thala while flying, because the modder only had this fly mechanics to use at this point. many tools are still missing for the isle dinos. like, if a modder who would've made a trike one month ago, then he/she wouldn't had the chance to add sparring back then. any climbing dino wouldn't have had the chance to climb before herra and the mechanics arrived. honestly, I think mod dinos would feel unfinished at the moment. once every mechanic is in the game, modder will have a way better platform to design dinos imo.
but yeah, skins and maps would probably be already possible
PINK MY LITTLE PONY SKIN DEINO INBOUND
I've been with the game for 9 years as well, I'mma stick it out until I see how it becomes. Right now I'm slightly disappointed in its performance and the decision the Devs made of working on Rex and Trike instead of much needed smaller to medium tiers more. But maybe they'll open their eyes soon and work on what actually matters and wont ruin the already fragile balancing this game has.
I feel the same i started in march 2023 but i kept up with the isle ever since every update and ill also be with the game till i die or it dies
I always swear I won’t play it again after dieing to its hitboxs, but I come back a few minutes later, just something about the game is so mesmerizing, interesting or fun about it, it’s addictive
yes it is and also don't say that there aren't frustrating times. some updates are terrible in between. but, I didn't play a single alpha which hadn't terrible updates in between. I had to stop playing the ark alpha, because it was unplayable. it had rubber banding with a 10 minutes!!! loop. you played, chopped a lot of trees and suddenly you were 10 minutes back in time without having chopped one of those trees. over and over again for more than 2 weeks in a row. you couldn't make any progress at all anymore.
to be fair to ark, they reacted a little quicker with bug fix patches than the isle devs. but, they also were a slightly bigger studio as far as I remember. anyway tho, it's alpha business as usual. there are for sure things you can criticize about the isle, but, many things people complain about are down to alpha and the wrong expectation of what type of game the isle is aiming to be.
for all those struggling to learn how to grow to 100% without being afk or using meta to survive, I am building highly detailed tutorial for you all, with sped up continuous gameplay throughout the life of the dino, from baby to full grown solo, explaining all the techniques I use to grow, how to troubleshoot bugs, how to read UI, how to find food, either ai or players, and tactics to ensure greater chances of survival. The tools aren't hacks or cheap play styles, this will help you think for yourself, even with ever changing mechanics because mechanics don't effect the methods of play you should use to survive, you will only need to adjust to the mechanics.
first tutorial will be with ptera, as its the best for beginners needing to learn the map and basics of the game. next will be steggo.
hopefully this will help confirm that unless its a bug, its player error. and player error happens 8/10 times. you just dont want to admit it. but ill extend my olive branch to you beginners so you don't have to suffer thousands of deaths to understand the game. ill post first vid next week.
Thank you for coming out with this video Mombie! You're so correct about the wrong expectations being a big issue!
The Isle warns you when you buy it that it's in alpha and still being developed so there will be bugs, crashes, ect.
The devs are working everyday to bring us the best content that also follows their vision for their game.
This game is hard, the PvP aspect makes it every bit as frustrating as it makes it thrilling, and it's really not for everyone!
Love your videos good sir, thank you for the top tier content!
thx mate ♥ it's so lovely to see how many grounded people are out there. I love to make this videos for this reason the most. if I watch some other videos and read their comments, then I always get the feeling that this community is filled with ignorance and hate only. but, my community shows my every day that their are plenty of reasonable and lovely people out there and this gives me even more hope for this game
@@CrazyCryptid07 Yeah the isle was always somehow fun to me even in some of the most buggy or unbalanced stages :)
They just have a really enjoyable concept in my ooinion
Even when the devs give very valid reasons as to why some things are the way they are.. people still don't listen. For example, the devs said that before then can just start making dinosaurs, they need to get all the major mechanics that will effect every dino in game working. They spent time working on bone break, pounce, gore, grapple and sparring and a lot other major mechanics so that they didn't have to worry about it making new dinos. The devs even said that after this.. they could start getting a lot more dinosaurs out, and people still don't listen and complain about not enough dinos. We got 6 dinos in 2023 alone(i think) and that's before all the major mechanics are done.. I'm sure they will be getting a lot more dinos out in the future if people are just patient.
some people are resistant to facts and refuse to even inform themselves. yet, exactly those are the loudest and the ones who complain the most ^^
@@Dynosaurus_rex to be honest the stage where there were only 6 dinos in evrima was some of the most fun I've had with it. I liked the map (or at least the popular points) and in my opinion the balance was very enjoyable (exept for full adult steho maybe)
Thank you for saying this.
Fr I thought he was a girl 😔
It takes critical thinking and a tough skin to like/play games in development. I actually have several games I'm playing that are in Alpha stages. You just have to learn to set a game down if something is going sideways with it (lag, fatal errors, long update schedules). I'll leave a game for a month or so sometimes while the Devs iron out the wrinkles, or if I'm frustrated from waiting on a new playable or feature. The Long Dark has the same issues, and I love it just as much as I love the Isle. Respect the process people :)
well said. first of all you have to have the mindset for alpha and accept that there are times where it looks rather worse than better. like you said, best to move on in this time. even more, I also enjoy coming back after months, even years and being surprised by the progress. I didn't play star citizen between 2017 and 2023 and was amazed of the progress. while others who played it all the time were probably annoyed about the slow progress
the long dark? jeez, I played that 5-6 years ago? even longer? was the time where I also played the forest. is tld still alpha? didn't check it out for a while, as I have uninstalled games disabled in my steam list
@@da.mombie Oh, you should totally check The Long Dark out, a LOT has been added and updated. There is cooking now, like recipes and stuff, and next week they're adding a mountain lion (barely contained excitement!)
@@lindseymashburn-fonzeroth1806 the last time I played they added the second map
so yeah, I have to give it another try
The most fun I've had in the isle was honestly with the terrain a lot of the time. If they give us the tools (enough stam for certain small dinos with a high enough jump) then we can use them to climb around and use the terrain in interesting ways in combat, fleeing, just having fun or nesting.
It's so fun to be an agile little thing that can jump around for me. When ptera was just released I would be a sub Utah and climb up to where they were nesting or jump down into some rock crevaces to sneak attack them and that was just amazing! Worked especially good in places with a waterfall to mask your noise.
Very sad that hypsie doesn't have good stamina regeneration or stamina in general right now as far as I know. It doesn't have a lot, but these fun little aspects of it were good enough :(
I hope they just add more terrain things. Like some interactable terrain, other than eating and drinking, like pushing things around or floods (which they will add, yay)
honestly, I am a little afraid of that. as you said, they want to add floods, spoke about forest fires or even volcanos once and also said that the likes of rex will be able to crush trees and fences. which sounds great at first, but, this will need so many server resources. they are passionate and have good ideas. but still they ain't and probably never will be the perfect code writers. as more such things will be implemented as better should be the server code to avoid thousands of issues with the performance. I can't say how much I hope that I am wrong on this one. but, my only worry about this game is that they want more than they can handle
@@da.mombie hm, okay true. With how laggy everything is even now that won't be good for the performance at all. Even in beasts of Bermudas where they have it, it can make the performance horrible sometimes, even if it is good otherwise.
If it's possible, that's great, but it will still be a fun game if it isn't possible in my opinion, as long as the maps are good and there are fun dinosaurs to play as.
I agree that they sometimes want more than they can handle too.
@@SmurfieDurfie I love their game and I'm very happy about what this little and less experienced team has already achieved. I also appreciate that they are aiming for the big targets. but, floods and big events are brutal to achieve without the server going on it's knees.
on the other hand, it will be many more years until the game is ready and who knows, unreal engine 6 might do such a job with ease till then. hope dies last
Hey Mombie! Glad you put this out there. I completely agree with you. This game is in development so the community should all be trying to focus on giving feedback rather than focus on all the negative which doesn’t really help. Great video as always and hope your PC doesn’t give you much trouble. Much blessing!! ~Azura~
hey ♥ thx a lot. I feel bad tho, I still didn't have time to watch your latest movie. but, it's on my list, promised
Deep thoughts Mombie, and very aware of what the game actually is, the game suits us both for same reasons, I was also that kid that made my own version of the car on the box
cheers for creativity
I always build my own stuff with all of my lego-sets being totally mixed up in one big box!
I made space battleships with scale of humans being smaller than ants in mind.
@@Chareidos yeah, which each set I became back then, I was thinking of how it would fit to the parts I already had and what can I do with all combined I never build a space ship in human size tho, so respect
@@da.mombie It was not that big, but it was certainly inspired by the Space Balls parody to be extremely long and it got in its peak over half a meter. * ;)
My scale was one lego block in its thickness representing 3 decks. I think I changed the front later and replaced it with a cockpit from the Aqua Sets (birckset 6155 back in the 90ies) to make it a Pirate SpaceFighter.
@@Chareidos nobody knows, the trouble I've seen, nobody knows... she's a bass
Oh man, that intro already gave me pain 😅 all my head was thinking: why waste the omni? Just give it to someone else to use! Lmao
I play on the official servers. there are only 7 tho. I play every dino and so I often find myself in the situation that I have to play pachy (or whatever), but, on each of the 7 servers is a fully grown dino. so, I mostly kill the one who is fasted to grow
You tell it Mombie!!! You said it exactly as it is! I’m glad your PC got fixed and we can enjoyed your videos again, plus you can have fun making them😄
thx mate ♥ as I told your sister, I didn't have time to watch your newest movie by now, but, it's on my list. I am just pretty busy recently. but, I will. promised ;-)
@@da.mombie No problem Mombie! You have enough on your plate, just when you have time!!! I’m just glad you have your PC worked up for new videos! Can’t missed my shots of mombidios!!!😜
I agree with you! A whole lot in fact! This game is a niche, and I like it for that. The Isle has been special for me ever since I happend to stumble upon it on youtube when I was but a wee little boy. To change so much just so a small part of the community can be pleased is simply absurd and would upset more people than it would please. Like you said, nothing can be amazing for everyone. Another mans garbage is another mans treasure... eh, not exactly the best quote for this topic, but you know what I mean. :P
And small little nitpick about everyone freaking out about the hordetest. Sure, it's annoying to see that every single time, but on the bright side, it brings the message faster that something needs to be done about it XD
there he is himself

@@ThePooPoo-xb2yv you think I have another account to agree with myself? yeah, in fact I have 13k accounts and that's the reason why I have so many subscribers. it's a huge fake community. you are also fake, you are just another of my accounts who is made to cover the other accounts. it would be suspicious if nobody would write nonsense
sry for the late answer, I was at work yeah, many people don't even know the original idea of the game, but complain that the devs don't listen. in fact they listened quite a lot tho. for some probably already too much. in my opinion they do a good job walking on this edge. the problem is, each little part of the community think he/she is the majority and if they don't do exactly what those people expect, then they didn't listen ^^ in fact tho, there is no majority in this community. just many different groups and opinions.
yeah, of course criticism and feedback helps them to adapt. but, many of the complains aren't useful at all and far from reality ^^ I would even say 80% of the criticism is nothing but crybaby stuff

100% spitting facts left and right.
Wow 😂😂😂 I never rly had much to complain Abt but somehow you made me understand and see the game from a different perspective
I don't say there is nothing to criticize at all. but, most of the complains I see in the thumbnails of other videos or in my comments is nothing but crybaby stuff, based on wrong expectations. I am so sick of people crying after every change and telling us the game will die. jeez, this game died 30 times since I play evrima
If your average isle RUclipsr sees this video they would hard disagree but I completely agree as a paleo nerd all I ever wanted was to feel like I’m a dinosaur in it’s natural environment and the isle is the closest I’ve ever gotten to that so I hold this game close to my heart and hope it succeeds someday
many people and also some of those youtubers have wrong expectations. but, I don't care about them. not at all. I care about the game and by now it follows the vision both of us and many others incl. the devs share. this game isn't designed for casual players and it doesn't need them. in fact, they are teh ones who would ruin the game. anyway, many niche games have a rather small, but loyal community. that's what I always loved about niche games. silent hunter also had a small, but very loyal community which played the game for many many years. therefore, I am pretty sure the game will flourish on the long run. it will take some more years and there will be more setbacks in between, but, it will be successful. I am as sure as you can be playing an alpha
@@da.mombie thank you for replying and I love your positivity even for a game that has some kinda mean devs some of them are mean not all a lot of people forget to specify
@@Mr.Pteranodon I don't care about the personality of the devs. that's childish. I don't have to love bill gates to use windows.
I care about the game. dondi seems to have a pretty similar vision for the game as I do and that's all which matters. I ain't happy with each of his decisions, but, I also ain't happy with each decision windows made. you can't expect the game to be exactly like you want. because each of us has a slightly different view. not even within the devs they all want the same game. if you read filipe's comments, then some people can be glad dondi is in charge. filipe doesn't even want any AI beside tiny ones like frogs for juvies.
but, nothing of that matters. all I expect from an alpha is constant development. the huge collapse of legacy throw the game back in time. but, before and since then, there is constant development. the game made a lot of progress.
@@da.mombie all the players recently quitting the game is making me nervous I mean it’s a game that’s fun aspect is purely based off player interaction but if so many people quit before the games even out yet than the only dinosaur game that accomplished my dream as feeling like a dinosaur in its natural habitat will be ruined by no diversity in servers and I can already see that happening servers are getting smaller and smaller in player count I do not know weather it has something to do with the current state of the game or if everyone’s just on the horde test right now but I hope you can understand me
@@Mr.Pteranodon the main players aren't quitting. just those who nobody needs. don't let yourself get fooled by the many rage videos and people who tell nonsense.
if you check the steam charts, then you will see it has a pretty constant player base and this won't change.
steamcharts.com/app/376210
so many people told me so often that people are quitting and the devs ruined the game, so nobody will play anymore. srsly, people are telling me this with almost every update since update 4. the steam charts don't lie tho and paint a very different picture.
Alot of the people complaining the game is unplayable are running subpar PCs, I was on a 1080ti (Godly gpu lasted 5+ years and is still going) before building a new rig with a 4070ti,
performance is night and day, are there stutters, yes, does performance dip when there are tons of bodies, meat chunks and players in a cell, yes. Other than that, fatal errors and crashes have gone down since upgrading, plus there's DLSS, not a fix, but it atleast alleviates some of the performance problems. Now my only problem is latency, which is beyond my control, living on an island in the middle of nowhere and all that.
I say it’s unplayable because of unfinished issues like falling into the map and eating bugs out. Also falling into pockets and through rocks and getting stuck.
@@hodgeez But that's in a lot of games, and that hardly makes it unplayable. And even if YOU find it unplayable, why not wait a year or so while they iron things out? I have a ton of games in my backlog and more that are coming out that look fun. I love the Isle, but I'm taking a break from it for a bit until it has more content or is considered good enough to replace legacy.
@@dragongirl89115 I agree with you about taking a break until it’s not so clunky. However with the isle a year is not enough time since the progress is painfully slow. I do disagree with about most games having bugs, the isle far exceeds most games with unfinished/bugs.
that's such a good point. I loved the 1080 and it was a good GPU. but, like you said, it's a 8!!! years old GPU. to expect that the game runs properly is like expecting a PS5 game to run properly on a PS4. many people in my comments were complaining about performance beside using a 970!!!!! a 970!!!! for ... sake ^^
yes, the performance is far from stable and yes, it's not among the best written codes I've ever witnessed. but, with proper hardware it runs pretty well for an alpha. would it be a ready game, then my demands would be much higher and I wouldn't be satisfied with the performance at all. but, as long as it isn't polished, you have to expect performance issues.
living on an isle in the middle of nowhere was my dream many years ago but, yeah, like every place, it also seems to have it's downside
Sorry , do you know if an integrated Gpu could run this game?
Because in the steam specs there is written "without a dedicated GPU the game won't work." , Yet the new AMD 780M proved to be a great iGpu, and I'm looking for the new 890M on the AI HX370 that should be even faster (around a 1060Ti/2050 performance) so I was asking.. the real problem with them is the low power they offer? or just the fact that the game is not optimized for the integrated GPUs?
Thank you alot!
MMn. Kann sogar der ingame Chat weg. Den „lernen durch schmerzen“ Aspekt finde ich hier absolut richtig, ebenso sich die Map Kenntnis aneignen zu müssen. Ich höre und lese auch immer wieder „warum keine map, warum kein global Chat, warum keine Stats“ fehlt nur noch das die Dinos hier mit Gewehren rumlaufen so wie sich manche das Spiel vorstellen.
sehe ich genauso. darum sag ich immer, wenn man gerne eine gesundheitsanzeige hat, ingame map und waymarker, dann soll man halt PoT spielen. diese spiele dienen zwei sehr unterschiedlichen gruppen. bis auf dinos haben die nichts gemeinsam. zwei komplett unterschiedlich genres. ich mag halt the isle mehr und hab lieber wenig leute die auch so denken, als viele leute die das spiel drehen wollen zu etwas was es nie sein wollte und hoffentlich nie wird. von daher bin ich sogar froh dass dondi so "stur" ist. was er ja eigentlich gar nicht ist. er bleibt halt seiner idee halbwegs treu. er bleibt ja nicht mal 100% treu, aber immerhin treu genug um jene, welche das spiel eben wegen dem leiden und der immersion lieben
Basistotalitäre Zustimmung ^^
Only reason why I stand away from The Isle atm is the surge of toxic players recently (nest griefing) and hackers. (and performance issue due to lags).
Sometimes you need to wait it out and do other stuff that is more soothing to your nerves. ;)
I am still waiting for a little change for Ptera. Though it got better, it still needs some love.
Either lower stam cost, higher stam pool or faster regen. Just ONE of them would make it feel more round again. ^^
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
I hope you will find a solution with your cooling problems. I always limit my FPS at 60 and since a few updates ago, go over for lower settings.
Unreal engine is sometimes so demanding without any apparent reason.
I am totally with you. during ark I stopped playing several times. it was unplayable during the alpha at certain updates. step back, play something else and give it another try some months or even years later. I didn't play star citizen from 2017 to 2023. no big deal at all. it's alpha. if I wouldn't do my videos, then I would also have had some breaks in between.
in fact, I also always loved to come back after a year or so. to get surprised by many new features instead of being bored of the existing features while I am desperately waiting for the next update. doesn't make much sense
yeah, ptera really needs some love
thx, my PC is fine again. the water pump was broken. got a new one and it even still was within the guarantee and therefore free
What about Rex and trike will be only playable on unofficial servers? Will be like legacy unofficial servers pay to play
I never payed on any unofficial legacy server. not once. so, what are you talking about? I would also prefer rex and trike to be on the officials from start on. but, they think they don't fit into the roaster. so what? this won't effect the progress of the game at all. just a decision I don't like. no big deal and nothing to worry about. all that matters is progress and not our personal preferences
Die Lernkurve ist enorm, das macht es aber auch spannend. Ich zocke auch schon seit Jahren, fand Legacy zum Teil total geil, Evrima ging überhaupt nicht. Die Performance war grottig, mittlerweile geht es. Das Spiel hat so viel Potential, mal schauen was noch kommt..
es ist eben ein spiel das man lieben muss. man muss leiden und sich reinwühlen um erfolgreich zu sein. ich persönlich habe immer solche spiele geliebt. schon am amiga hab ich fa18 interceptor geliebt. ich glaub ich hab eine woche gebraucht bis ich den flieger mal in die luft bekam und wahrscheinlich 3 monate bis ich zum ersten mal sicher gelandet bin. da sprechen wir noch nicht mal vom luftkampf selbst
ich bin positiv was the isle betrifft. es wird noch lange dauern und viele kleine rückschläge geben, aber im gesamten machen sie einen guten job, haben gute ideen, sehr viel leidenschaft, liebe zum detail und die umsetzung wird auch irgendwann funktionieren
i think my main issue with the game is how long its been in development and how slow updates are, considering they have made an estimated 28-30 million in revenue and over 10 years in development, other than that i don't really have a problem with the direction they choose to go, if i don't like it ill move onto another game. iv got 600 hours of value from the game already so thats worth the price i paid.
that's the best you can do with every alpha. just stop playing in between and come back as soon as there is more content. all together 9 years is a quite a lot, but, evrima is alpha since 2020. so, 4 years. if you think back how BAD evrima was in update 1, then they have come a long way within those 4 years. I don't know how much money they earned and if they could hire 20 more devs to speed things up, but, 30% of the revenue goes to steam, taxes have to be paid as well and each employee earns quite some money a year, too. anyway tho, for that tiny team they did quite well imo. even if we all would love things to be done quicker
@@da.mombie yeah you make a decent point it was a absolute mess at the start of evrima, and honestly thats what im doing atm, moved onto POT while updates come out so i can forget about evrima for a while
@@Xxnightwolf66xX I played update 1 for about 5 hours and was that angry that I had a break until update 3 it was a disaster. I am glad you enjoy PoT meanwhile and thx for your comment. I am happy about every reasonable person
Wooooooooooooow the best is back
So i play the isle since it came out around 2014/2015 can't remember for sure. You have me as a follower because you have a brain that understands the game's objective.
I also have POT and for me is just horrible in every single way (having all the dinos sliding/floating with 0 mechanics doesn't give credits lol, like i am playing a game from 2010 or less).. if i could i would sell pot and support dondi again because they didn't quit and have actually been improving the game overall. Also, i feel we are getting to a zone where the updates may start to be more regular then before which may lead to a lot of new players and servers with more people (above 200+ per server).
srsly, everyone who ACTUALLY followed the development HAS to cheer these devs. yes, if you didn't follow closely and just look at the numbers, then it looks terrible. 9 years alpha, still no end in sight. but come on, before you (not you) bash and call them stupid, inform yourself, otherwise you look like a fool ^^
so many people have no idea of the reason for evrima or the original game idea. the many clickbait title videos don't help either. I have the feeling, the more you bash the devs, the more clicks you get. even worse, if you watch videos which don't even know what they are talking about. it's unbelievable how many nonsense I saw and how it got repeated in comments over all kind of the isle videos. sometimes it feels like a russian bot army
I am pretty sure this game will flourish and I also hope the update interval will shorten as soon as they have all the still needed mechanics (like crush and so on). but, we have to be realistic. this game will be alpha for many more years. almost 50 dinos are yet to come. we are speaking of 4-5 years at least. which is totally fine to me tho, as long as it makes progress. which it does. we just have to look how far we have come from update 3 about 3 years ago
@@da.mombie i support 100% of what you said! I have time to wait for a polished game
I AGREE 100% ABOUT GRAPPLE!!! I’ve been thinking the EXACT same thing. I get its bad, but when people think of how to “fix” it when, those ideas are literally how the devs INTEND for it to be in release is just ironic. Like, its buggy dude. Chill out people, they literally want grapple to be exactly how most people want it to be. They’re on our side lol. I feel like everyone as a whole, not just from a Christian perspective like myself but as a human being perspective, we need to just forgive eachother ofthe bad things we do or have done. Because people get angry and talk about how the devs are bad or arrogant or whatever and then they do pretty much the same thing with the “constructive criticism” videos. They’ll say it’s constructive criticism, which, it is, but I personally at least, feel like they always most of the time turn it around and say something, whether intentional or not, super offensive. Pretty much the same thing is happening with grapple. 90% of the titles and thumbnails say “grapple is broken, how to fix grapple, grapple is aweful” etc. Im gonna stop ranting as Im just yapping at this point lol but you get my point. No one’s perfect, lets just stop being idiots and just try to be positive for once. Grapple is still HEAVY WIP as they stated in the patch-notes, and WILL be improved. Hope ya’ll are doing well, God bless you.
thx ♥ honestly, I was always the community guy and mostly against devs. specially the likes of ubisoft and so on. but, this community makes it hard for me to be on their side. in fact, I almost start to hate some parts of the community. so many have no idea at all. they don't know anything about development, alpha, the original game idea, the devs, their intentions, the features which arrive and their intentions, the long time goals or anything. they are clueless people, but love to hate and bash the devs. just because the game isn't like they want. selfish fools who love nothing more than crying and complaining. even if they never achieved anything in life themselves. but they know how things should be done. yeah, sure ^^

Play evrima for couple of years now and sc since 6 years... so yes the game isnt feature complete, its a alpha. But i like new testing servers that give the normal servers a bit more stability.
I hate games that try or force to held my hand all the time, one of the best feature of the game is the HUD... barely any information given and that makes it great.
Sandbox games like the isle and star citizen are those kind sandboxes that i really like, sandboxes where the majority of the fun comes from players.
same here. I love the interaction in those games. RDR2 had a great story and I was close to tears when Arthur died. but, I had more funny, more surprising, more weird, more lovely, more tense, more frightening, more of everything when it comes to emotions during moments that I shared with other players in those kind of games
I mean, there are things that ruin the game (current grapple), but that doesn't mean it's unfixable, which most Isle players think I guess (from the clickbait title)? The devs will or will be forced to make changes to certain things and they want the best for us (or at least they try most of the time).
why always so dramatic? grapple ruin the game? it's a new feature. of course it isn't perfect at the start. it will be further adapted and be fine in the end. some months ago people were crying that the devs ruined omni. it's weak, it's useless, it's a bag of s***. buhu, the whole game is dying because they nerfed omni so badly. now omni is OP and it's new feature will ruin the game. jeez, how often will I have to read that the game will be ruined until it's ready? nobody will care if a feature was OP during the development. not even the super hysteric crybabies, who have a mental breakdown after every change, will care as soon as the game is ready. so pls mate, don't listen to those crybabies. I know you are too smart to follow this nonsense ♥
@@da.mombie Oh I was sarcastic about it, ofc it won't ruin the game, because the devs will fix it (by "grapple ruining the game": I meant if the devs don't fix it for a long time, but it's literally in a beta inside of a beta, so it will not cause any trouble). The only thing that could actually ruin it is if it's popularity began to shrunk, which will never happen since the Isle is the king of the dinosaur games, alongside with PoT and BoB.
@@patrikresz2706 sorry, I misread it then. you shocked me their as I said in the last sentence, judged on your many comments, you seem to be a smart person. yeah, I also don't think the numbers will drop that quickly. even more because so many people tell me this for years now. it never happened
@@da.mombie No problem. The Isle will never die, because there is almost no competition, no matter how much the devs fuck up the balance (and then fix it).
@@patrikresz2706 honestly, I would love other games to pop up. but, I highly doubt it. this market too much of a niche for big studios and other new alpha projects would be too far behind at this point
What do you mean by high expectations? That's not so. Or is the need to fix a fatal error that has been around for two months an overstated expectation? :\
I don't expect a bunch of game dinosaurs, rex, instant fix of any problems and the rest from this game. I just want to play this game and nothing more. And every time it turns into a struggle with flaws. It has been in development for too long, legacy is too broken, and euryma is unstable. I don't want to go to games like The isle. I only like The isle. I was ready to play it with bad fps with a handful of dinosaurs. And when I say that I don't like that the developers spent 6 months developing 1 dinosaur, which eventually turned out to be incomplete at the time of release (Diablo), I don't like getting fatal errors every session of mine for two months, Are these overestimated expectations? No -this is the absolute chaos of the development of this project, which began back in the days of Legacy . The problem is not with the people, but with the style of development and the speed of content release. There are always high expectations, in any project, there are always uncles who want everything and always. But The isle has a high entry threshold for players, it's not for everyone. Those who want everything have long gone to PT or other games. Now Evrima players know exactly what they want - to play the game at a decent level
@@HaughtyToast This project takes too long to ignore the fact that it's been a hell of a long time and there's a mess going on. Stop justifying it
sry mate, your comment just shows you are one of those who have no idea at all, but a strong opinion. a fatal error which is in the game for 2 months? are you serious? a fatal error isn't a fatal error. there are thousand of different triggers for an fatal error along the way of developing a game and they are around since update 1 ^^
the rest of your comment is the typical I have no idea what alpha means nonsense. not being able to inform or educate yourself about a topic, but blaming the others. great job mate
@@da.mombie I just expressed my opinion, and I don't have any ideas? Why these insults? It's unpleasant to hear this from my favorite RUclipsr by the isle
Just gonna point out that they've been working on at least 4 other playables (not counting Dibble) within that time.
Those being, Trike, Rex, Maia and the mystery creature.
@@rensaio I am sorry mate. I am pretty mad on this topic meanwhile and in special when it comes to alpha things which are nothing but normal.
so, I might have been too harsh. of course you are free to have your opinion. if you prefer PoT, then I wish you all the best with it. as I always said, none of these games is better. they just serve different types of players. so, if you prefer PoT, then it just says something about what type of player you are.
but, to me the problem are the people and their wrong expectations. the devs do pretty well in my opinion and I very much like what they are doing. if others think different, then I welcome them to move on. because like I said in the video, I rather have a small community of people who love the game for what it is, than a big community of people who want to change the game.
soooo the whole game is broken because of a test on a test server? lol
weird, isn't it?
im hoping for more ai in the future. i got 3 kids that would prefer co op vs ai and dont want to play in the games heavy pvp state. so i hope they find a way to make both pve and pvp good
it will take many more years until AI will be on a acceptable level. AI is something even big studios struggle a lot. specially in combat. thousands of NPCs stucking in walls testify my words
but, their aim is to make every dino as AI available for server admins. for exactly that reason. you can design your own little PVE game to hang out with friends only
@@da.mombie that will be awesome :)
all things you said is right
one thing to keep in mind mombie, this is a dino game and most boys had a dino phase at some point so there is that allure, and the current choices are the isle evrima, Path of Titans, and that bermuda one, POT is very different, the bermuda also not this feeling so Evrima has a monopolium on this genre and the devs do abuse this power... Because of these things, there will be players who want more, and their number will be significant, and they will voice their frustrations which the devs fuel with their gaslighting and overall unprofessional attitude, banning for nothing, like no problem with grapple when they know it broke the balance... If the problem were only present on the hordetest, this wouldnt be an issue but the public game is full of bugs and imperfection, frustrating things which even wastes hours of someone life, growing a dino AFK IS NOT GAMEPLAY...
This is my experience as a complete beginner playing as a croc, my first dino: I was spawned in somewhere close to the reservoir, at night, nightvision was worthless, OUTSIDE OF THE WATER as a croc, I didnt understand nothing except I need water ASAP... I couldnt see anything, too dark, even at daylight I got lost. I lost 4 crocks until I was finally spawned next to the water, and no I couldnt read the compass at the time because there was no explanation... So I finally was in water, I saw a school of fish I swam close wanting to eat realizing the fish is just cosmetic, they have no physical bodies underwater... I may have caught one because there was sg sticking out of my mouth but I couldnt eat it... this is a common bug, deino can have a piece of meat stuck in their mouth if the appropriate animation doesnt play... How difficult it is to fix this? This happened a few months back, the problem was a few years old, I confirmed that... With a random guy who helped me fish, we "hunted" bit a mentally handicapped fish then tried to eat it, I didnt know you need to swim ashore to eat, which is kinda weird for a game priding itself on realism... After some frustration the problem was solved we headed to hunt more, but as we swam down the river we fell into a hole, both of us into a separate hole... So its in the river right after the mini waterfall, underwater but there is no water, I need to jump about 10 cm to get out but I cant jump, so Im stuck and so was my buddy we both ended such a pathetic way as beginners... What kind of experience is that for newbies? Pitchblack at daytime in shadows, pitchblack on moonlit nights under a 2 trees but nothing else, a platora of random bugs making the experience even more jarring... I like what works but the devs do sell this game AS A GAME not as what really is, beta tester experience... Also the roster... Most people want to play as a big iconic dino or at least a medium awesomeness, not many want to play as a dogsized dino, there is the game Stray for such experience...
Sorry for the wall of text, I really like your vids and that you are clearly passionate about the game, but even as a newcomer I believe I can see serious problems WHICH are not the fault of the PAYING CUSTOMERS... Also lot of customers of this game are children, you really expect understanding and research from a 10 yo? Thats not how people work... Btw I played about 4 times, couple of hours each session until I final realized the water droplet and the curvy symbol on the compass indicates water... I thought it meant rotten food... No tutorial is not good.
Afk gameplay is a choice.
You need more experience with the game. I couldn't count the amount of times i have died due to getting lost in the jungle. Not understanding how the ui works.
Everything has a learning curve, and especially in this hard core world in evrima your gonna die. You have to let go of the fact that your choosing to spend your time growing a Dino. How about instead of choosing a Dino that takes hours and hours of game time to grow, choose something that will familiarise yourself to the game, ie pteradon, galli, troodon, raptor, or pachy. Going straight into playing a deino and expecting a 100% survival rate is not the way to go about it. And is actually on you for your own frustrations.
Use ptera, fly around look at landmarks learn the map and what it's all about, and then once you have a good feel or idea of it then dive into creatures that are difficult to grow.
It's not that difficult.
sry for the late answer, but it was already later yesterday and your comment needs a proper answer. first of all, this is no offense. but, you show very well what's wrong with the expectations of the community. you are new to the game, have no idea about the development of it (which isn't your fault as you are new to the party) and probably watched many youtube videos to get into the game. like many do, as the game doesn't support you much at the start. then you find all those clickbait youtubers which tell you what's wrong and how bad the devs are.
you haven't much experience, but, already some frustrating moments. because these are the first experiences in this type of games. so your brain connects these frustrating moments with what you hear in those bash videos and it sounds very reasonable. like... oh yeah, I had this experience too and yeah, I would also like this to be like that and oh yeah, this seems really unbalanced because I already died that way too. you form a strong opinion pretty early without having much knowledge about the whole situation.
first of all, the isle was never meant to be a children's game. the isle also never meant to be a dino game for everyone. it's a dino game in tarkov style. like you mentioned yourself, it's pretty different to PoT and BoB. the first sentence on their steam page says "The Isle is intended to be a gritty, open-world survival horror game." the keyword is gritty. to write about so many hours wasted and AFK grow just shows perfectly well that you and everyone who does think like that, actually don't like this type of games. you expect something different. but, that's not what the isle is about or ever meant to be. I and many others expect exactly that type of game which it is and just because there is no other proper dino game out there, you and those who want another game expect the devs to change it to your ideas. but no. they don't listen to you. they stick to their plan to do the game they wanted to do from start on. which I and many others very much appreciate. that said, they even changed things to favor those who want a different experience. but, these people don't even see that, because they have no idea of that game was even meant to be. so, from their point of view it looks like they aren't listening. which is the biggest nonsense around.
your whole first deino experience and your complains about the tutorial show even more that you aren't the type of player for this game. you are fascinated by the immersion, but don't even know where it comes from. I love that there are no hints and that you have to get that knowledge by your own. that's part of the immersion. to speak about balance is the next typical beginner mistake. you have no idea about balancing at this stage. you don't even know what balance means in this game. the balance is survive, not fight. each dino shall be able to survive, not to match other dinos in fights. some are supposed to be balanced in a fight and others aren't supposed to do so. in general this is and never will be a balanced game at all. even if you balance a teno vs a carno perfectly well, then you still have 99 out of 100 times an unbalanced fight. because it is a 3vs1, and adult vs a juvie, a 2000 hour main vs a new player. there is no balance in this game. people who complain about balance have no idea of how this game actually works. these are the typical PVP mains who complain because the latest change destroys their tactics which they have mastered. balance. what a nonsense catchphrase in within the community.
last but not least. it is an alpha. so, to complain about any bug is ridiculous and something I won't even go into it anymore. if you don't like alpha and can't handle bugs, then don't buy an alpha game. period. even more, your first experience wasn't great, so what? this is no game which rewards you and activates your dopamine by giving you XP for doing almost nothing at the start and still getting a level up. like most other games are designed to do. it's a dayz style experience. you shall suffer. if you don't like it, then this isn't your type of game. that simple.
like I said, this is no offense. you aren't the bad mate here. but, you are the typical example of how all this hate gets transported and hyped up more and more for no reason but having no idea of the game and it's original design. people are coming into the isle and don't even know what kind of game it is and mostly not even know what an alpha experience means. then they realize that it isn't what they expected and want the devs to change it. that's the problem of the isle. not the devs
@@soulfullcreations7308 yeah a choice but thats what most do, or are you trying to suggest one should be actively walk around the isle as a baby stego??? below 40%??? you will be a very easy meal
@@da.mombie No worries Mombie, Im glad you even decided to reply😁
Ok so I may be relatively new BUT I did my due diligence, I did research the game, stats, there is even that map where you can see all the food sources, migration zones etc...
I know about the devs, the fiasco of losing everything to the employee / cofounder who took years of work worth of data... Or the pedo controversy, or that the devs actively ban people on their discord on false pretenses, like spreading misinformation... On reddit though there are lot of positive posts, but like 40-60% of it is negative, depends on the current events, and I read lots of them and they are valid criticisms mostly not always...
You are saying essentially that my and lots of other people's expectations are the problem and not the game... So Ive been around long enough to know omni was weak and pathetic for months now they became OP with the pinning as of the current hordetest... Because of the darkness and stamina Ptera was almost unplayable NOT MY OPINION but most people claimed this... Night being too dark FOR A LONG TIME so much so that it was unplayable, too often bad weather, so amost complete dark at daytime... My problem with these quality of life BUGS / INCONVINIENCES isnt that its alpha BUT HOW DARE THE DEVS LEAVE IN BUGS in an alpha, my problem that WHY they dont hire more people, so 1-2 guys could actively scout sites like reddit with lost of free bug reports AND literally play the game and find such an easily fixable wide array of bugs LIKE the weather darkness problem or the food stuck in deino because animation bug so croc cant eat and need to reconnect to server for a fix... The devs chose to not hire more workforce so they can churn out more dino in a timely fashion as well as fix bugs more efficiently than in half a year patches... Also getting stuck was just fixed after such a long time... With that unstuck command... This isnt fun gameplay discovery thing, this is jarring easy to fix bugs but ignored for so long for no reason...
Regarding alpha, the game on steam can be read as it was RELEASED IN 2015, this is how I first saw it there... I needed to ask around to know what legacy, evrima and hordetest is because it wasnt obvious... In the EU at least, although maybe games are different BUT you have to put out a certain quality AND it doesnt matter if you say its an alpha if you accept money for it, since then ITS A PRODUCT thus the devs DO OWE the CUSTOMERS a certain level of quality... They essentially sell the game as a completed finished product, that is the buggy chinese infested Legacy, with that the Evrima which is in alpha which I didnt know since they dont warn about that because you are sold legacy which is finished AND abandoned... No one warns you about this...
Look mombie, I have a strong opinion on this that the isle is here, and not further A LOT ahead in development, is their fault not ours, I do recognize there are lots of trolls and aholes among the gamers users as well, so we both the devs and the gamers are to be blamed... But at the end of the day people like dinos, will come here and get jaded by the unprof attitude of these devs... Most want to experience a fun dino game, nothing more nothing less.
Btw on how to play stego: I looked up advice, solo that is, you need to grow AFK up until 30% to have a fighting chance, thats the most accepted way to play stego solo so no nested in... thats about 1.5 hour of doing almost nothing and that can end in a few minutes or seconds, no other game Ive ever played has such 'feature'...
Btw one final thing, I only watch you so mombie, owltime, metta and the saphireceratos that semi official channel where that youtuber only posts dev replys, and one more occasionally but I dont remember the name, I dont watch BASH CHANNELS as you stated... There is a healthy criticism which the devs though grudgingly understood and changed the game accordingly for which I praise them...
Azuria, that's the point of the game. If you are walking in the open, making noises, being in clear view, Then you will be preyed upon.
Is that what you would do in a real survival situation?.
If you had people hunting you, would you call out to them?
No, you sneak around bushes, always blocking line of sight between you and anyone else.
It's your play style that is letting you down, not the game.
You need to learn what survival is.
How to survive. Put your mind Into the world of the character you are playing.
Vigilant of your surroundings,
Be cautious of the sounds you make,
If you cant see what's in front of you, then don't run,
Would you run blind in real life?
If you dying to cliffs it's because you weren't aware of where you are going. If you're not aware of your surroundings then take it slow.
Take accountability for your own mistakes and learn from them.
This isn't going to hold your hand like mum and dad.
Does your adrenaline heart start pumping when you are hunting or being hunted?
Your eyes widen and becoming more zoned in?
Fear causing through your mind?
That is the survival state of mind. The reptilian brain. It's the oldest part of the human brain. This game represents that state of mind. You harness that idea and put it into the game play style. You will survive.
If you play with the idea of safety, then your gonna die. That world is not safe.

ok bro why do they have 2 game in one ?????? it's not alpha ny,ore it's a completly different game
what? they made legacy and had to stop for serious reasons. the lead programmer left the company and nobody could read and further develop the old code that dude wrote. so, they had to start all over again and restarted the project with evrima.
anyway, evrima is also alpha. it's sold in steam as alpha
first! :) have a wonderful day
🥇 thank you, you too
German detected. Bayern? Your voice sounds like Bavarian person, but I might just be wrong there.
almost. I'm of the land of the choppa, get down!
Its not about testing a feature on a HT branch , its that the isle devs cannot implement a feature as even approximately balanced ; its either completely broken or trash or illogical. There is never a middle ground. Its like if you want to test spicy ice cream in a market and put the worlds hottest chilly in it ,and then when the customers say this goes beyond common sense , you take a month to fix it. It just reflects poorly on their decision making , that's why people have grounds to be unhappy.
yes, these devs love to test to the extreme. but, first of all it is an alpha, so I don't care. everyone who is looking for the perfect gaming experience should question himself buying an alpha. even more, personally I love the different phases. sometimes omni is super strong, then super weak again. I enjoy this during an alpha game.
but, even more important. balance is totally overrated. it's the biggest nonsense in this game. even if you balance a carno vs a teno perfectly well, in 99 out of 100 situations you will have a 2vs1, a 4vs1, a 6vs2 or a juvie vs a an adult, a 2000 hour main vs a new player. balance doesn't exist. in fact, we can choose if we want a balanced fight. every fight we start, we have the chance to find an opponent that is quite fairly balanced. but, guess what, most people prefer to fight with an advantage. so, there will never be balance in this game anyway.
The fatel error makes this game unplayable.. get off work grow for an hour and fatel error in the middle of a fight... im i the only one ?
of course it is frustrating, but, it's alpha. if you expect a perfect gaming experience, then you have to wait until it is ready. but, you can't expect a game to be free of bugs and crashes during the development. that's unrealistic. what do you think GTA looked like in the middle of development?
Mister today i go to the beach with my family🏖🌅
nice, wish you a great day
I misread "mr today I got the bleach with my family" 🤣
@@Azuria969 Lol🤣
The team making the game no matter alpha or beta or testing or released is producing less than optimised experiences that is ruining and wasting the time of the people who play. The game needs some serious fixes. Overall the average median experience with playing Evrima is frustration. I can only spout my suggestion of removing this version untill it is ready to be released while allowing selected testers to use and to give feed back and get resolved in a timely manner. In my opinion since its release its been a embarrassment.
how selfish can someone be? you don't enjoy it and that's why they should remove it? how about you just stop playing it and let the ones who enjoy it have fun? why should the people who love playing the game suffer, just because you don't enjoy it? just stop playing. isn't that complicated. but to keep playing and complain is ridiculous. even more to demand to remove it. sry mate, I am shocked by that level of selfishness.
4th, 🫶
🤗🤗🤗🤗
bro, the devs are horrid and abuse their power like manchildren, this game is extremely unsatisfying with all the bad changes they've made and the constant bugs, letting devs get away with this by saying its a test or EA is a big cope. I enjoy the game for what it is, but the moment another game does the same thing as isle but works I'm jumping ship.
I just don't understand how people are so hurt by a 30 dollar game?
I have over 1000 hours in a 30 dollar game. Yes it can be frustrating at times, but what game these days isn't?
Have you played gta online? Horrible with hackers. You can't even leave your own house without being blown up by some hacker. And rockstar is a billion dollar company and still can't manage to keep hackers out?.
I could give lists, reasons and examples all day of the gaming industry as is. Atleast with the isle you have constant communication with the developers, whether the ideas are good or bad in your or my opinion. And that's the real truth of the matter everyone has a different opinion. And do you not think it's an abuse of power by the 'community' to create a whole eco system around hating a game because you were hurt by what was said, or didn't agree with something?
This type of behaviour should be directed towards your politicians, not some EA 30 dollar game. It just sounds so crazy. By all means give feedback, it's needed.
Please tell me how you were physically mentally abused by this game and its developers?
How this 30 dollar game and its developers are so horrible to you that makes you so angry at the game. But yet come back because no one else quite does it like the isle does?
I played more than 30 alpha games and the experience was everywhere the same. some devs were even worse, some better, some did communicate more, some less, some failed, some flourished, but one thing had all in common. bugs, bad performance, decisions which didn't please everyone and updates which felt like a step back in between. business as usual. just because you seem to have less experience with alpha, doesn't mean they are bad or you have any right to complain about it. it's alpha. if you don't like that concept, then don't buy it. but to buy an alpha and complain about constant bugs and decisions which don't suit your interests is ridiculous. even more to think that decisions were bad just because you dislike them. I also don't like each of their decisions, but I am not that entitled to think it's bad just because I don't like it. because other people might like these decisions.
well, I would also turn my back on the isle if there would be another dino game that suits my style better. I am no fanboy. I am a gamer. but I am also a realist. dino games are a niche and that type of dino game I am looking for (dayz like) is even a bigger niche. so, I highly doubt any big studio will ever touch such a game and I also doubt another little studio will pop up and do a better game in less time.
but, I would love to be wrong on that
@@soulfullcreations7308 so well said. it's ridiculous how people hate these devs. especial if you compare them to the reality of gaming. nobody cares that rockstar is sucking our money for years now, with the online version of a 10 year old game which is still full of bugs and hacker. but, the isle devs are the bad ones and nothing but devils themselves ^^
@soulfullcreations7308 so we excuse other devs because another dev is worse? No, we hold them all accountable. Everyone shits on gta online. And people have a right to be annoyed that a game they paid for barely functions. I say barely to be nice. The number of hackers is abysmal for a game where growing a dino takes hours only yo have your fun stopped short by bugs or hackers. Funny enough path of titans is run by a previous dev of the aisle, and that game functions really well, especially combat hit boxes. The only issue is that it's more mmo and not survival, which is the only appeal the isle has atm
@da.mombie echoes of extinction have a dev making a very similar game to this but actually have enthusiasm and passion about it. I have high hopes for sure.
Who remembers the hope trailer? thats the game i thought we were getting instead we get whatever this is. Nobody even nests anymore because you gotta keep moving to the mzones. Im sure by the end it will be an amazing game but the time its gonna take to get there i might not even be around anymore im not even joking if they intend to bring out 4 dinos a year then its gonna take 8.5 years until they are all out i will be 50 years old.
50 yo in lion years is 300 in human years woah thats a persistant murder kitten
Lol Hope wasn't even a trailer it was a preview video showing that there's Hope for the games future as the Devs aren't leaving with all of Legacy's profits.
Dino releases are whatever, for 4 years they've been held back as every mechanic added within that time is to be added onto existing playable's instead of having all their features like Dibble.
Why would presume they are only going to do 4 dinosaurs a year? They've already stated that they are done with new dino mechanics, and it will make it faster to develop the creatures since the base is already there. I'm happy they aren't taking the easy route and pumping out as many dinos as they can. They tried that once and it turned into a mess.
good things come to those who wait
@@AnAntarcticScotsman so true and it shows again how much misunderstanding is within this community
just an bad game no wonder people hate it bad hitboxes bad map desing terrible optimisation stupid devs etc
Bait used to be believable
The game and its development is over your head
yeah, no idea of anything, but calling the devs stupid. that's my favorite kind of people
You silly sausage
Making sub adults slower than adults for no reason, game having a breakdown from 15 bodies laying around even on a nasa computer(so hard to fix), 2 omnis pinning a fully grown cera that takes double the time to grow and making him lose half his hp, a troodon thats 133x smaller than the largest dino yet takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to grow and can get two shoted by the whole roster on its tail
Peak game design right here but its justified because game is in alpha and these things take so much time to fix of course
