Dino progression (evolution)

[_IceBreaker_]

As i have seen a lot of other people complain please bring back the old dino progression (evolution) look. The grind is already hard and if you remove even the little look changes in lower levels it just makes it easier to just give up.

I agree, plus the lvl 14 evo is at lvl 50? And then the next one is at level 55? And then you get a cyber dino? At least move the level 50 one at like lvl 35? You just have a giant 30 level gap between 20 and 50 and while it is purely a cosmetic change, it doesn't make the game more engaging when you stare at the same thing for 30 levels.

Não há absolutamente nada que nos mantenha engajados no jogo, "ah, mas existem dinossauros cibernéticos e armas supremas". Irmão, o cibernético e o supremo só têm algumas coisas diferentes dos originais, como: +1 de atributo, são 15% mais fortes e nem têm habilidades diferentes, e temos que matar 5 mil NPCs, chegar ao nível 55 e à posição acima de governador, e aí eles mudam a ordem das evoluções dos dinossauros, o que já é desmotivador o suficiente.

Vale lembrar que quem já pegou uma cyber ou supreme já deve saber que algumas delas nem sequer possuem um atributo extra como brachi por exemplo.

I logged into the game again after a long break (2 years), and I was shocked to see that my level 23 dinosaur looked like it was level 10. This is absolutely ridiculous. I've completely lost my motivation now, and I don't think I'll be playing again. I'm really curious to know who came up with this nonsense.

Yeah plus it's super weird to see little kiddo dinos fighting a full evolved alphas lol

The only thing it has is that it makes me upgrade dinos to lvl 55 from 50 because I hate the way they look

you didn't even stick long enough to play the game. you simply stopped at lvl 23 and Moreover, you came back a visitor so you have no understanding of the current game's system and the reasons for it. it's nonsensical for ppl to complain about the evo phases cuz if they are interested, eventually they will progress to 55 and Evo phases are something an (long-term) interested player's least concern.

I think that instead of changing the level at which the evolution happens, they should put an extra evolution at level 30, something small Just tô show The player like: "hey you are evolving" yes you become stronger But would be Nice a little change too

 

[Blank_Sven67]

Seria uma ótima ideia, porque ver a mesma aparência de dinossauro e arma por 20 níveis é chato. Parece que conforme você evolui, não parece que você está progredindo. Não joguei de novo, mas vou acompanhar as novidades no fórum. xD

The thing is, regarding interest, the game does nothing to really hold it. It's a boring, repetitive gameplay consisting of leveling up, grinding, leveling up again without any semblance of a storyline (just an example of a mechanic that could break more of the boring aspect, not necessarily something that could be implemented right now) that can really hold your attention. It's barebones, even if I feel nostalgic towards it.

Yes, originally, the interest was meant to be social, but now at lower levels, speaking about my level 20, 27 and 31 profiles I have, you're relatively alone. There is no social interest. You hardly meet any people, the chats aren't active at all, or are hardly active, and everyone is huddled in the big clans and that is it for the most part, especially for EU 2 where I'm at. Getting into the politics seems tedious, because you have to grind all the hell up to 50-55 too. Of course, I'm changing the subject, but regarding interest point, the game doesn't really create it at all.

This part of the evo update does not feel that well planned. As Queenie mentioned, it's funny watching a baby dino fight a fully grown alpha. It would've been better if you changed with the environment rather than just evolving way later on. The dinos at level 30 change, why doesn't yours for example? They could've still pushed back the evolutions instead of throwing them far back. To max players, this part of the update wasn't even a concern, nor did it change much or anything.

Dragossauro's idea is also not that bad and it's something I've thought too. But I'm not sure as to how that evolution would really look like because the lvl 14 one was supposed to be the awkward transition one, which is why I hadn't really suggested it.

Those are my general thoughts and impressions of the game and update. I liked it when I was younger, the rangers on my account are from 2012 and I still remember the potions we used to have very early on and the baby dinos. But it's not in any way a fun, engaging experience to create long-term interest from a new player perspective or a low level perspective.

I think what could stir it up a little would be bringing the older maps back, bc there may not be as many people online but it was super fun to have all these corners and things to go around. I dont think it needs something new like new dinosaur or guns, just as you said the environment could look more interesting. If you look at their concept arts you see lots of cool stuff that could have been true

I don't know about you guys, but for me the real problem is that we don't even know if they read any posts here.
Getting a response from them is hard, and when we do get one it's something like: "we can't introduce this because (generic excuse about game limitations or they say it will break the balance"), but this idea of a small change at LV 30 should be something we should go ahead with, since it's a purely cosmetic change and relatively simple to execute
If someone has the skills to make a simple art in Photoshop or any art platform it would be cool
Personally, I think even a small change in size would be "okay" and maybe need the only feature of the old LV 14 evolution, for example Carno getting a double chin on his throat
It would be a small change, But a change at all

Não é difícil fazer uma evolução no nível 30 ou 35 que vá até o nível 49, para que não haja uma lacuna enorme no "crescimento" dos dinossauros.
