Maia: A fast herbivore with low damage attacks primarily meant to stun predators to facilitate ESCAPING. Players: RIDE FOR RUIN, AND THE WORLD'S ENDING!
Tbh, I personally prefer having predators around to make things interesting than to just chill as a grown herb with no fun events. I salute you and your sacrifices, we need carnivores like you o7
that's so funny. I also just played dilo vs maia and jeez, it was so much fun. to make it even more similar, I had a starving problem as well 😁maia is strong, but not OP and specially for dilo it's such a nice challenge to go for 😃 sorry that I didn't comment more early on your vids, but as I said last time, I mostly watch you on TV after work and you know, smart TV and comment is an impossibel task 🤪 thx for another great video and that you don't join the maia is OP train 🥰
Maia v dilo is my new favorite matchup! It feels so nicely balanced and incredibly chaotic! Makes me so excited for future additions and how their different matchups will feel!
@@dinometta im just hoppen they dont do anything too crazy in the comming days. as from the looks maia has a capasity of defence to speed that allows it to survive the bigger preditors but the turn capasity making it vonerable to more agile or in dilo's case, night orinted attackers due to the nv (though i guess we will see once you play as em a little as i will let things get stable before testing it out given my pc is a grandparent in age.) but with heards everythings in your favor and maia really lives to this off if you can put a good formation and get a stun attack off, your proably gonna be able to have a FEW flury of blows done on a target to make them regret dealing with the heard. but as you prove heards only can do so much if your lagging behind.
@@dinometta so many dinos and possible matchups are yet to come. maia feels so much better than it did in legacy. therefore I can't wait what they will do with all the others I loved and miss since I play evrima. like theri, anky, allo, sucho and many more 😀
I started hunting maias as Utah after testing it out for it's strengths and weaknesses and these fights are probably the most fun I've had on this game this year. It send me on a nostalgia trip back to legacy and early evrima combat (when Utah pounce was completely bugged and you had to take targets down just with bites). I really like the addition of Maia! The hordetest ofc still has its bugs and needed polishing and tweaking but this is probably the most balanced addition of a dinosaur this game ever had. Edit: if youre gonna comment that im crazy for my opinion (which is also shared by a bunch of other people) then take a step back and read the follow up comment I made explaining the perspective I'm coming from. If you then still want to comment chances are I'll just ignore it anyway IF it doesnt have potential for a good conversation. Thank you ;)
@@ArchineOne 8/10 Maias dont even use their strongest attacks plus its rather easy to dodge/outplay and I know multiple Dibble players who can fight them just by being smart and knowing their dino. As for "there's no point .. ... ..." for you maybe if you really wanna "force" a meta in a dinosaur game but personally I will always prefer Teno as the better traveler and fighter. Its agility and quick attacks are just way better and more fun to use but to each their own ;) Lastly you dont seem like you've been with the game for as long as some of us have cause you'd know how chaotic or downright broken a new addition to the roster usually is.
That’s such a crazy take. Maia can run down every creature in the game pretty much and can face tank a dibble. You can’t escape it, you can’t fight it. Not in the hands of someone who has an idea on how to use it at least.
Honestly props to the herbivores that do this. Some panic and kind of just defend themselves, even when in herds. They all quickly rushed to beat up the knocked over dilo. 😭🤣
take heart in knowing all of those mixpacking deinos were killed! we had been stalking them, heard y'all fighting them and moved in shortly after you crashed with our own deinos :) another great video metta, always enjoy your survival over pvp brain moments
I love that they didn't make Maia crazy strong but strong enough to defend itself and fast enough to escape most of its predators. That ending tho jeez xD the game just had to crash when you were right next to them lmao
@@0UUB there's no way I have been found on the Isle video of all places from a wattpad reader of mine. And yes, my wattpad name actually was carriered from this youtube profile since before i got into fanfiction, I was originally an Mapper youtuber. Since the name. Which stuck till this day.
@@dinometta that too, I have seen kav do It, and I have done It myself solo against a couple of adults, but I'm still not skilled enough on the animal to take on even 2 skilled dilos, I had to run once being on red from a pretty big pack.
Whenever I see a new video from Metta, the first thing I do is like it. Thanks for the great stories, you are one of the best RUclipsrs in The Isle Evrima
Always look forward to your commentary and game play Metta keep it up your videos are always entertaining and have me waiting eagerly for the next! Even the add ins of what we don't see via commentary keep me engaged in what is coming next in the videos even if the footage is missed.
yay - I swear. This channel is at least 200k subscribers short from where it should be when "maining" a game this small. The story-mode is tight, the gameplay is expert, the insight at pro-level and it could easily carry this channel to millions of sub had it been main for a more popular game.
Your hunger to hunt Maia is how I feel for my hunt for a nest as a Troodon. I want to steal an egg soooo badly. I wish there was some sort of mechanic to tracking nests. I follow Maia around forever and have to leave to find food so I never find people nesting.
i think the devs just need to add more ways for eggs to pop up, asexual reproduction mutation for females? (literally so many fish and reptiles today can, and then theres that vulture that did it…) higher incentive and reward for even doing it in the first place, and ways for people to find a mate for their dinosaur without begging in a discord dinosaur tinder or relying on global chats and scheduled meetups, yeah people will take advantage of the various mechanics that could be made for that but so do predators irl, theres risk and reward and thats where dopamine is made
7:50, 24:50 idk if its just me but it seems maia's hitbox still needs some tweaking. A lot of your hits seems to not be landing when it looked like they should have. Could also be desync but or maybe issue with dilo? idk. Great video like always regardless!
Big fan of this new filter that makes you sound like your nose is more stuffed than the servers were when the update realeased. Makes your voice really pop. :)
@@dinometta Oh btw we almost ran across each other there at the end. We were some other deinos that arrived at the scene after you died. You'll be happy to know that both of the mixpackers met a lovely demise.
Honestly playing Maia is really dull right now, not enough predators! Much more fun to be the predator and provide some excitement for the masses at the same time!
1:26 HAHA YOU STUTTERED! nah seriously, hearing such a great narrator and content maker stutter brings me a little bit of glee, like seeing Usain bolt trip for just a second! weird to explain lmao
Haha you caught me! Lol if you heard the raw voiceover recording, every time I have a major stutter I end up going blublublugl bleh and then trying again xD
Oh, so that last moment was the one you were talking about in the isle discord! That's such a bummer. That was a really good fight. And now the ht servers are having the roll back bugs. Lol.
troodon can absolutely thrive off maia, it's shifty nature allows it to zig zag the maia's obesity into its advantage, in packs of 6 being able to take down fully grown maias. they finally added something troodon can absolutely murder that is also gigantic on a side note, hunting maia herds as rex will be exhilarating, just waiting in the tree line for one to stray a little too close, knocking them over and getting a clean bite to the neck to dispatch them before it can flee And even a herd of 8 maias cant do much, the attacks are meant to bully small creatures, a carnivore can just eat for once
that beach you left when starving is about the best spawn ive found for dilo. small spawn thats always quiet right there where you jumped, its abit hit or miss though. if you turned left hit the beach and walked back little. up the cove where the fake island bit is, that whole area and the C shape beach north of it, and all the forest upto the road is always teaming with turtles. is the most consistent turtle spawn location on the map that ive found, second would be easy of the swamp beach location. but im new and maybe they weren't spawning for you, looks like you ran around them missing them entirely, just saying ill cross the map to get to that location you swam away from, and sit there until grown. if something comes i will back out to that exact spot you jumped but near the beach and wait for AI to spawn. ive never had anything look for me that far away from the main beach location.
@dinometta that's the inherit risk of growing near predictable AI. I'm always the most immersed hearing the clop of turtles spawning through the time/space rift, as ceras come screeming out from the bushes with all the grace of a falling, tumbling walnut.
Well at least I was not the only one that had software issues pop up when trying to get content. Regardless glad to see what you made of it for some fun content. Even with the ending of a fatal error.
@dinometta I literally went straight to buy path of titans cuz I was tired of being kicked out and eating many queques of 45 people and when it didn't crash the Maia just got stuck and couldn't move or do anything so I had to relog and eat some more queque, just to log back and get eaten by a big ass croc on river delta xDDD, and on many occasions my fps literally reach the incredible amount of 2 fps and then crash, this hordetest is being the worst one so far xD
@lolero72campos19 that's strange, because performance wise, this horde test has been one of the best performing in recent history for me. Only had one crash and no major latency or lag issues
I MIGHT consider playing again with this dino. It’s nice to have a large herb that you can be able to run away from anything with… I don’t like being cornered as solo and forced to fight multiple preds to the death. I would like to know if Maia can out run anything like Cerato, Raptor, Herrera, Dilo, and if it can’t out run Carnotour can it Atleast hold its ground. It’s odd though that it took THAT many bites to get Maia to purple and it wasn’t even an adult yet
I'm pretty sure I was hiding in a bush as a baby maia when you were hunting the adult maia 😂 the two ceras came and I followed the adult across the river
I saw you both again later. Y'all walked right over top of me while I was desperately trying to regain stamina to try and run for Highlands, before I gave up on that plan because I was too hungry and had to just keep moving
I've had them pop out after one round of digging as well as after digging it out entirely, I think it might be RNG on some level. I decided I didn't have the time to keep digging and then catch the thing, so opted to just accept the vomit sickness
Btw it does look like maia has no damage but i somehow managed to kill 3 ceras on my own, not that i did a lot of damage, i just hold them in the ground most of the time, pretty strong on my opinion, can throw any dino ok the floor pretty easy and constantly
@@dinometta that's the thing, I find it easier than dible since Maia is pretty fast and have two different animations for the charge, but the thing is too, that Maia can't see anything on full night time and less against dilos, I guess I was lucky the ceras fought me on early night and they don't have venom, pretty strong counter dilo on night I guess
Honestly my first thoughts were "oh boy, ANOTHER big herbivore, here we go again" but I now like their addition. Tbh still not a fan of their one size fits all solution of just slapping a stun onto most herbivores but Maia not having absurd amounts of damage or strangely high bleed makes it acceptable to me. Maia's are definitely tanky enough to compensate for their low damage, you showed that well, and actually feel like all encounters are long drawn out hunts of attrition where the better wins. Also think once maia's aren't bored out of their minds seeing only other maia's that this might be a herbivore most people aren't hyper aggressive on (I can have hopes ok?)
I desperately wish they'd stop with the stuns too. There was a time when they said that stuns interrupted the flow of battle. And a time that stun locks were prevented. Now I feel like we're back to square one where stunlocking is common. I'd like to see the stun problem addressed again
I really wonder sometimes what the purpose of hordetest is, because once a new dino is introduced in hordetest, the entire server is that one dino, and since there is no actual fights to be had with carnivores or any other dinos, so you just see them all kill each other, happens each time a new dino is introduced on Hordetest. I dont know what the solution would be, but currently its just frustrating to both get on the server, and then actually be able to play and get past the juvi stage.
It's mostly to search for any weird bugs within the build and the new playable. Things like how the pteros now appear and screech above dead corpses, Maia's interactions in massive herds, etc can affect performance and show new bugs they won't want to just push to live
@@amosfamous7327 it was incredibly fatal for my dilo. Farmer caught the rest. Pretty much my dilo froze and the deino moseyed on up the rock, grabbed me, and let the Maias pummel me to death
They're not nearly as op as they seem. Still incredibly dangerous of course, especially if they land their stomp. But if you avoid getting stunned, they're very killable
Yup, after 20:00 dilo's venom strength increases(it's right after the sky goes orange) and then gets weaker again at dawn(when the sky goes orange again)
So I havnt played this game and only recently found this channel, love it btw. Can someone explain to me the vitriol for mixed packers? Is it just a community nono?
Mixpacking is a problem for overall balance. Basically using a mix of different playables that, when hunted alone(just Maia, just pachy, just raptor) is doable because you know their weaknesses(fast but can't turn, breaks bones but stuns itself when it misses, quick and agile but low HP) but then you add in something that they wouldn't normally exist peacefully with and it makes hunting them or even fighting them now difficult if not impossible. Often mixpackers take the strongest animals like dibble and cerato, stego and deino, and now Maia and deino and mixpack together. Three times now, I've died to deinos mixpacking with Maias, because Maia is a fast swimmer and they hide behind their pet deino in the water or call it in to grab me while they're using the water's edge to slow me down. All that aside, mixpacking used to be against the rules on official servers in legacy because even the developers don't want it to be a thing. They just haven't yet worked out a way to prevent it without straight up moderating the servers 24/7.
Would it be too extra if dinos killed by dilo venom would leave envenomated carcasses? There would ofc be a timer until the carcass is safe for consumption, since the body will bleed out, but this may allow dilo more advantages.
Ooooh smart idea! Would "reserve" the body for dilos- but would also mean the dilos may become the main target if something hungry comes along (instead of simply being chased off)
As soon as you get your second mutation, it starts to work. The hallucinations are just very hit or miss. Sometimes they simply decide to not work unfortunately
Heyo! I was one of them!! Their deino grabbed me! Unfortunately my footage of that hunt got ganked by the program so I couldn't include it. But it was a fun fight!!
It's stomp attack was accidently overtuned by the devs it is STUPID strong. **Shove over** **stomp** **shove over** **stomp** **stomp** = win. Oh and its nightvision is shit!
I didn’t know eating rotten food made you immediately throw up, I thought it was after a while you’d throw up from it lol but who knows I think I’ve only done it a couple times. Also what editing software/recording software do you use again? How do you edit your videos? Like do you record and edit one video at a time? Just curious because I can usually at max only make a 40 minute video that’s edited due to file space and I also usually take several days to fully edit a video from start to finish, yet you seem to have a video out every week, how do you do it? 🤣
It does now. And I use premier pro. I do one at a time, each week. Record during the week, then edit on weekends and Monday to post Tuesday. It's a lot of work and time to do a video weekly, but I manage it okay as long as I work hard and sometimes long hours on weekends
my only possible complaint for maia is just the constant broadcasting they do but thatll stop eventually, theres going to be bigger animals and ive been able to avoid agro maias as multiple things pretty fine, ive only been dying to other creatures or just starvation or fall damage, they have a awkward way of turning around and horrible eyesight at night, as for hunting them its just better to go for the weakest and youngest, kinda like idk, real animals do with bison this is gonna happen either way when stronger species are added, there will be herds of spinosaurs gigas and rexes again and thats just cause gamers will be gamers and the devs should focus on making a good game before making it sandbox-creativemode-roleplay like other dino games fall victim to being
@@sunnyd9884 Maia is possibly one of the better balanced dinosaurs dropped recently. I definitely think its stomp shouldn't be a stun attack as well as doing massive damage though, as it makes it easy to stunlock people to death. But in general, it is great as a hit and run dino that punishes you if you get knocked down
Idk how to feel about maia tbh :/ On one hand it seems too OP, but then on the other hand you have people saying its not. And going off mettas video (Someone who is actually good at the game) it doesn't seem maia is that broken. But so far it seems its just omni n dilo that can properly fight maia, while all ive seen from ceras is them getting demolished xd n carno players js havent shown up yet 🤷 So idk how to feel atm about maias current state
I think Maia desperately needs its finishing move(stomp) to be just that, a finisher. With a long cooldown between stomps and no ability to run while using it. That would give slower playables like cerato and dibble the opportunity to fight back or move to a better position for attack in the event that they've been hit by it but didn't die.

troodon can absolutely thrive off maia, it's shifty nature allows it to zig zag the maia's obesity into its advantage, in packs of 6 being able to take down fully grown maias.
they finally added something troodon can absolutely murder that is also gigantic
on a side note, hunting maia herds as rex will be exhilarating, just waiting in the tree line for one to stray a little too close, knocking them over and getting a clean bite to the neck to dispatch them before it can flee
And even a herd of 8 maias cant do much, the attacks are meant to bully small creatures, a carnivore can just eat for once
We just need the stun lock removed and Maia will be pretty well the perfect animal.
that beach you left when starving is about the best spawn ive found for dilo. small spawn thats always quiet right there where you jumped, its abit hit or miss though. if you turned left hit the beach and walked back little.

but im new and maybe they weren't spawning for you, looks like you ran around them missing them entirely, just saying ill cross the map to get to that location you swam away from, and sit there until grown. if something comes i will back out to that exact spot you jumped but near the beach and wait for AI to spawn. ive never had anything look for me that far away from the main beach location.
I've grown there once or twice, but I don't often hang out there as I've been attacked by ceratos and raptors there before
@dinometta that's the inherit risk of growing near predictable AI.
I'm always the most immersed hearing the clop of turtles spawning through the time/space rift, as ceras come screeming out from the bushes with all the grace of a falling, tumbling walnut.
Another video! Hi metta
Hi tymson!
Lmao! I really enjoy your videos! If the game didn't look buggy as all hell I'd probably play it, lol
I'm glad you enjoy the videos! The isle definitely has its bugs, but it has its moments too
Well at least I was not the only one that had software issues pop up when trying to get content.
Regardless glad to see what you made of it for some fun content.
Even with the ending of a fatal error.
Haha software issues abound! It's a fun update though!!
@dinometta most certainly! The angry cows are here to trample everyone's day!
P sure the geoup you fought in the intro was deafeat pete. I remember watching the fight from his perspective.
It was one of those streamers yeah!
Absolute cinéma of a vidéos
Thank you!
Tail and head hitboxes were broken during the filming of this video
Yeah, I felt it heavily too.
@@dinometta and now the Horde Test is experiencing roll backs :D GG
Mai has the worst night vision in the isles history
Haha makes it incredibly vulnerable to night predators, which is great
I loved it
Thank you!
6:18 - I was that Mai 😭😭😭
Lol, fun fight! You played it well, Maia absolutely should flee and use water to escape an active threat!
What an end lol hahaha
I was soooo mad haha
@dinometta I literally went straight to buy path of titans cuz I was tired of being kicked out and eating many queques of 45 people and when it didn't crash the Maia just got stuck and couldn't move or do anything so I had to relog and eat some more queque, just to log back and get eaten by a big ass croc on river delta xDDD, and on many occasions my fps literally reach the incredible amount of 2 fps and then crash, this hordetest is being the worst one so far xD
@lolero72campos19 that's strange, because performance wise, this horde test has been one of the best performing in recent history for me. Only had one crash and no major latency or lag issues
@@dinometta not my case definitely, idk what causes it but is too annoying, it kinda happens on the main branch but waaaaay less, it might be my PC xd
@@lolero72campos19 Did you delete your config file when you switched to horde test? Sometimes that boosts performance
This is getting me so excited for apex dinos. Bring on the big boys!
As long as they've got proper matchups to hunt them! Yes!!
@@dinometta yes! I agree 100%!
MOM THERS A NEW METTA VIDEO!!!!!!!
:D
I MIGHT consider playing again with this dino. It’s nice to have a large herb that you can be able to run away from anything with… I don’t like being cornered as solo and forced to fight multiple preds to the death. I would like to know if Maia can out run anything like Cerato, Raptor, Herrera, Dilo, and if it can’t out run Carnotour can it Atleast hold its ground. It’s odd though that it took THAT many bites to get Maia to purple and it wasn’t even an adult yet
@@CosmicPotato740 it can outrun everything except dilo and raptor if they have the speed mutation(if everyone does that is) I believe
I'm pretty sure I was hiding in a bush as a baby maia when you were hunting the adult maia 😂 the two ceras came and I followed the adult across the river
I saw you both again later. Y'all walked right over top of me while I was desperately trying to regain stamina to try and run for Highlands, before I gave up on that plan because I was too hungry and had to just keep moving
Your like my buddy Ren, she always gets sick about every 3-4 weeks lol
Man, so unfortunate!
The burrows usally take a while to completely dig out and the tacos only come out when the whole burrow is destroyed in my knowlege
I've had them pop out after one round of digging as well as after digging it out entirely, I think it might be RNG on some level. I decided I didn't have the time to keep digging and then catch the thing, so opted to just accept the vomit sickness
Try hunting maia as omni, its super rewarding packhunting them, especially after they fixed their hitbox
I really want to! That's my next matchup I want to try
got an exam today but once I’m done, Ima come back here
Good luck!
Oh gosh thats an awful series of events. i hope you feel better and your week goes better too!
Yeah, a week from the not happy places! But I'm mostly feeling better now and hopefully have my software working again!
thats good! i wish the best for ya!
Jeez, either Maia is way tankier than I thought, or Dilo is horrifically weak 😂
Maia has more HP than a dibble! 3.8tons worth!
nah that crash. went so well just to crash is insane
I was so mad. I'm still salty.
Btw it does look like maia has no damage but i somehow managed to kill 3 ceras on my own, not that i did a lot of damage, i just hold them in the ground most of the time, pretty strong on my opinion, can throw any dino ok the floor pretty easy and constantly
Maia's stomp and kick are both devastating. If you can avoid being knocked down, you're golden, but if it knocks you over, you're done
@@dinometta that's the thing, I find it easier than dible since Maia is pretty fast and have two different animations for the charge, but the thing is too, that Maia can't see anything on full night time and less against dilos, I guess I was lucky the ceras fought me on early night and they don't have venom, pretty strong counter dilo on night I guess
Honestly my first thoughts were "oh boy, ANOTHER big herbivore, here we go again" but I now like their addition. Tbh still not a fan of their one size fits all solution of just slapping a stun onto most herbivores but Maia not having absurd amounts of damage or strangely high bleed makes it acceptable to me. Maia's are definitely tanky enough to compensate for their low damage, you showed that well, and actually feel like all encounters are long drawn out hunts of attrition where the better wins. Also think once maia's aren't bored out of their minds seeing only other maia's that this might be a herbivore most people aren't hyper aggressive on (I can have hopes ok?)
I desperately wish they'd stop with the stuns too. There was a time when they said that stuns interrupted the flow of battle. And a time that stun locks were prevented. Now I feel like we're back to square one where stunlocking is common. I'd like to see the stun problem addressed again
I really wonder sometimes what the purpose of hordetest is, because once a new dino is introduced in hordetest, the entire server is that one dino, and since there is no actual fights to be had with carnivores or any other dinos, so you just see them all kill each other, happens each time a new dino is introduced on Hordetest. I dont know what the solution would be, but currently its just frustrating to both get on the server, and then actually be able to play and get past the juvi stage.
It's mostly to search for any weird bugs within the build and the new playable. Things like how the pteros now appear and screech above dead corpses, Maia's interactions in massive herds, etc can affect performance and show new bugs they won't want to just push to live
Hi metta it’s me Riley I have had to make a new account because my comments weren’t working so hi 👋
@@Riley_Dino heya!
that fatal error was likely fatal for your Dilo
@@amosfamous7327 it was incredibly fatal for my dilo. Farmer caught the rest. Pretty much my dilo froze and the deino moseyed on up the rock, grabbed me, and let the Maias pummel me to death
I really want to fight maias as trodoon now, they seem fun to fight!
Super fun!!
I HAVENT WATCHED IT BUT WANT TO COMMENT GH
!!! Oo dilo
Edit: Maia is not as op as they seem, i like how they’re some weird like parasaur-tenonto mix.
They're not nearly as op as they seem. Still incredibly dangerous of course, especially if they land their stomp. But if you avoid getting stunned, they're very killable
sad how I was not in due to the recording being bugged we had some good maia and dibble fights apart from that good video :)
also lucky how dondi did not give us a rex jumpscare
Right? I was so mad I lost the recording of the fight with that mixpack. We did so well!
@@dinometta so true
I think you where in player 0s video , the first herd you attacked 😂 It’s around the 45 minute mark in his 3 hour stream for mia
Lol l need to go find it xD
It’s around the 45 minute mark in his 3 hour stream for mia
The perfect time to attack as a dilo is 19.:00 - 2:.00
Seems to be, yeah, from dusk until just before dawn!
that end would have made me so mad.
I was absolutely devastated
"As true night fell, and my venom strength increased, I knew the time had come."
Does the venom do more when it's farther into night?? What??
Yup, after 20:00 dilo's venom strength increases(it's right after the sky goes orange) and then gets weaker again at dawn(when the sky goes orange again)
@@dinometta THAT'S SO WILD!!! Whaaaat! Do you know if troodon is in a similar spot? Maybe the code is just copied?
@tarryncooper4742 nope, troo isn't unfortunately. That part only applies to dilo
I swear i've seen a video somewhere where a solo dilo fought a pack of maias and i think you are the dilo.
People have said it's Player 0
@@dinometta His last upload was 4weeks ago. I am not sure if that was him. the dilo was targetting one maia as well
@@gobis8637 I'm not sure, he did a Livestream so that doesn't show up under regular uploads
Tragic end
I'm still salty xD
You can envenomate multiple targets at once, and the hallucinations go to all of them?
So I havnt played this game and only recently found this channel, love it btw. Can someone explain to me the vitriol for mixed packers? Is it just a community nono?
Mixpacking is a problem for overall balance. Basically using a mix of different playables that, when hunted alone(just Maia, just pachy, just raptor) is doable because you know their weaknesses(fast but can't turn, breaks bones but stuns itself when it misses, quick and agile but low HP) but then you add in something that they wouldn't normally exist peacefully with and it makes hunting them or even fighting them now difficult if not impossible. Often mixpackers take the strongest animals like dibble and cerato, stego and deino, and now Maia and deino and mixpack together. Three times now, I've died to deinos mixpacking with Maias, because Maia is a fast swimmer and they hide behind their pet deino in the water or call it in to grab me while they're using the water's edge to slow me down.
All that aside, mixpacking used to be against the rules on official servers in legacy because even the developers don't want it to be a thing. They just haven't yet worked out a way to prevent it without straight up moderating the servers 24/7.
@dinometta ah, understood. Love your channel btw!
@@bricksloth2599 thanks
Would it be too extra if dinos killed by dilo venom would leave envenomated carcasses? There would ofc be a timer until the carcass is safe for consumption, since the body will bleed out, but this may allow dilo more advantages.
Ooooh smart idea! Would "reserve" the body for dilos- but would also mean the dilos may become the main target if something hungry comes along (instead of simply being chased off)
I think it might be a bit excessive simply because dilo venom is pretty dang strong already
I love hunting maias as raptor!
Do u use shadowplay for recording? Cuz I had the same problem with recording as you, so I switched to medal
@@senua2269 yeah, I do! I've switched to obs since, but man I end up with so much empty footage as a result
@@dinometta yup had same issue and many others too I couldn't find any solution yet, medal does rlly good recordings imo, you can clip up to 20 mins
Seems like Maia's hurt sounds aren't loud enough. Can't tell if they got hit or not
I believe they were bugged in the initial build!
How do you get animals off your back
@@YIYI_00 hold e to buck
Do you need to be 70% for your venom to work? I swear i bit a cerato to purple and he wasnt even defending himself from my clones.
As soon as you get your second mutation, it starts to work. The hallucinations are just very hit or miss. Sometimes they simply decide to not work unfortunately
I wanna know if it's doable to bring down a Maia as Carno, Carno and Teno were my first picks in Evrima, so they hold a special place in my heart.
I don't know, I've seen some carnos take down mid-sized ones, but I don't know how doable it'll be on an adult
Maias adultos so sao derrubados por stegos mais pesados que 3.8t e o carno consegue derrubar maias que tem menos de 2t
oh shit that lakeside massacre was one i did with 2 other young sub dilo. we killed 4 maia overnight then ended up dying to a maia omni mixpack
Heyo! I was one of them!! Their deino grabbed me! Unfortunately my footage of that hunt got ganked by the program so I couldn't include it. But it was a fun fight!!
@@dinometta it was so much fun lol. i kept expecting the maia to give up but they let us drop 4 of them before deciding maybe peace was a better idea
maia has nearly 0 hitbox currently need to stand inside it to bite it
The head and tail hitboxes were non-existent at the time of recording, they've supposedly been fixed now!
not any maia did try to knock you over XD.they are noobs...not that i know maia but its the first thing you should do!!!!.i am learning too
Lol everyone was a noob at the time! Most of the content had been recorded in the first 36 hours of its release!
Out of curiosity what are ur pc specs 😗?
I'm running an RTX3080, i-5 13600k CPU, and 32gb of RAM
Honestly I haven't had this kind of fun in a long while! LOL
Same!
Maias have blind vision. Seriously, I wouldn't call what they have night vision.
Makes hunting them as dilos even more viable. Night time is their biggest weakness
@@dinometta Exactly!
How do you play these tests?
Go to properties>>>betas>>>horde test
Are maias in the game now? Those have been my favorite dinos for almost 20 years and I'm tempted...
Yup, well, sorta! They're in the testing phase and will be going to the live build once the main bugs are ironed out!
Glad someone is keeping the maia population down
Heck yeah!!
what is your settup, seriously
@yaalpi I've got an RTX 3080, i-5 13600k processor, and 32 GB of RAM. It's a custom build put together by my brother in law
It's stomp attack was accidently overtuned by the devs it is STUPID strong. **Shove over** **stomp** **shove over** **stomp** **stomp** = win. Oh and its nightvision is shit!
Yeah, stomp needs to not be a stunning attack honestly.
@@dinometta I guess hopefully Allo drop makes him suuuper strong since I mained it more than giga or trex...
I didn’t know eating rotten food made you immediately throw up, I thought it was after a while you’d throw up from it lol but who knows I think I’ve only done it a couple times. Also what editing software/recording software do you use again? How do you edit your videos? Like do you record and edit one video at a time? Just curious because I can usually at max only make a 40 minute video that’s edited due to file space and I also usually take several days to fully edit a video from start to finish, yet you seem to have a video out every week, how do you do it? 🤣
It does now.
And I use premier pro. I do one at a time, each week. Record during the week, then edit on weekends and Monday to post Tuesday. It's a lot of work and time to do a video weekly, but I manage it okay as long as I work hard and sometimes long hours on weekends
Why aren’t u using venom when fighting those maias near bridge?
Venom is weaker during the day, but also I was. It just didn't seem to be working on them there
my only possible complaint for maia is just the constant broadcasting they do but thatll stop eventually, theres going to be bigger animals and ive been able to avoid agro maias as multiple things pretty fine, ive only been dying to other creatures or just starvation or fall damage, they have a awkward way of turning around and horrible eyesight at night, as for hunting them its just better to go for the weakest and youngest, kinda like idk, real animals do with bison
this is gonna happen either way when stronger species are added, there will be herds of spinosaurs gigas and rexes again and thats just cause gamers will be gamers and the devs should focus on making a good game before making it sandbox-creativemode-roleplay like other dino games fall victim to being
@@sunnyd9884 Maia is possibly one of the better balanced dinosaurs dropped recently. I definitely think its stomp shouldn't be a stun attack as well as doing massive damage though, as it makes it easy to stunlock people to death. But in general, it is great as a hit and run dino that punishes you if you get knocked down
Is it me or are dilos and Maia's at war?
They definitely are, dilo is the best counter to them!
it was player0 lol
Lol I'm not surprised, a lot of streamers were online that night!
I know
Maias nv is trash
is the update on or is it on test servers?
?
It's on the horde testing branch
Idk how to feel about maia tbh :/
On one hand it seems too OP, but then on the other hand you have people saying its not.
And going off mettas video (Someone who is actually good at the game) it doesn't seem maia is that broken.
But so far it seems its just omni n dilo that can properly fight maia, while all ive seen from ceras is them getting demolished xd n carno players js havent shown up yet 🤷
So idk how to feel atm about maias current state
I think Maia desperately needs its finishing move(stomp) to be just that, a finisher. With a long cooldown between stomps and no ability to run while using it. That would give slower playables like cerato and dibble the opportunity to fight back or move to a better position for attack in the event that they've been hit by it but didn't die.
