Hi Reagan! Lovely to hear from you again. :D My summer has been full of teaching, playing video games, and gardening. My blackberry bush has grown fruit for the first time this summer, and the berries have been delicious! I bet you kick butt in taekwondo-- way to stick with it for so long. Hope your middle school years were fun, and that high school is even better!

@@gabrielkanka I’m a bit of a tomboy nowadays, sooooo I do like playing Pokémon games on my Nintendo lite! I did not know you had a blackberry bush! It’s really cool that it has grown fruit for the first time! You are 100 percent 💯 right about me kicking butt in taekwondo! If I would have quit before I got to high red, that would have been a big disappointment. I feel like most people either quit before black belt, or they quit when they hit black belt and don’t come back. I’m not going to quit when I hit black belt though! There is a taekwondo book that students have to study from, and it even says in the meaning of a black belt, “Here the student must choose a path. Continue the journey in pursuit of greater knowledge, or leave the path only accepting partial fulfillment of the self.” I am definitely not going to quit when I hit black belt! I have had experience teaching younger students who are at a lower rank, and I enjoy it! I usually help teach and help other students when an instructor asks me to help a certain student with whatever it may be, from forms, to self defense. Not really kicking or sparring because those aren’t really individual skills for each belt like forms and self defense.

@@gabrielkanka sorry I am typing a lot and if you are busy you don’t have to read all of it right now

@@G.oliath The "Reinforced Tendons" mutation that decreases stamina decay when jumping

@@anastaswinn4630 i would love to try that!

@@jacklarrieu9208 tapping space to fly up instead of holding it will help a lot. Time it with your wing beats. Also, using shift to sprint-- you only need to tap it until your wings flap-- momentum will keep you moving at sprint speed without having to hold the button down and drain stam.

@@jacklarrieu9208 also, I have at least 800 of my hours on just ptera. It takes time!

I played around with it more and figured out that it also affects how much stamina you use when flying upward! Still not sure if it's worth it, but I enjoyed experimenting.

@@coltonhardy2257 do you know the controls for sniffing them out? You gotta cling to the sea or river bed with ctrl, then q to sniff. Look for bubbles on your scent bar.

What makes the flight system awful, to you, besides the admittedly atrocious stam regen? I just started playing a year and a half ago, so I'm unfamiliar with the prototype you mentioned. I really enjoy the way flight works in the Isle, but that may just be because I've gotten used to it XD

@@gabrielkanka -There is no separate flapping and gliding modes. The animations just mix together without you having any control over which you want to do. This means you cannot perform actions like stalling out or swooping, because the ptera will automatically start flapping when you pull up. -Momentum barely carries when you fly upwards, and since you can't choose to glide, you always flap when you gain altitude, costing stamina. -Turning with a and d looks very clunky, yet it is the most cost effective way to turn, since holding w will flap and cost stam if you aim at a slightly upward angle. -The flight itself feels very "automatic" so to speak. Whenever you aren't actively choosing to go in a direction, you automatically level out to a fixed angle of descent. This makes controlling the ptera awkward at times and overall makes the mechanic far less dynamic, like gravity isn't even a factor. -The camera is very static. When they were still developing ptera before the release of evrima, they shared a few videos of the WIP flight system. They can still be found on the developer dmdmdm's youtube channel. th-cam.com/video/h9ktXs0JECA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/aD4r14Ymbs0/w-d-xo.html These videos showcase a system that is much more dynamic, with the ptera not being stuck at a fixed gliding angle and being much more heavily influenced by gravity. These maneuvers are not possible with the current system.

@@gwit4051 Those are some really good points! I'd love to be able to switch between flapping and gliding at the very least.

I’ll take The Isles flight over the animated levitation they pass as flying in other games like Ark, PoT or BoB. Still would love a better stam system though.

@@Nrex117 Ark I agree with, but PoT and BoB both have the same basic flight as the isle, if not a bit better since they are faster and don't have the atrocious stam. I'd take the isle as a game over those two on most days, but still.

not even 3, i got mine in 2. might've even been 1 but i didnt check till i had filled up twice.

Oof, that's way more of the roster than I thought..

@@gabrielkanka I think it's all species. That's crazy you can stop it by removing yourself from the others tho. Have you tested to see if it's all dinos or just the same ones?

@@chancecoleman1482 I was getting the audio bug as a dibble near a croc and herra team, and moving away from them restored some of my audio. I still got the error eventually, but I got a chance to hide before I was disconnected.

You need to empty your thirst meter twice by drinking salt water. I don't think it matters how many times you puke.

@@gabrielkanka Puking is just a side-effect, Deinos and Cera can avoid it.

You can get rid of the "fluid deficient" debuff by drinking more saltwater until it disappears! Even if you can't get the mutation, you can at least fix the thirst issue :)

@@gabrielkanka Oh okay, thank you! I'll try that. Somehow, I haven't died yet, lol.

Beipi got a buff to its swimming stamina along with the nerf to its surface swim speed. It feels much nicer in the hordetest than it used to, but I sure miss Spiro's version...

@@gabrielkanka Seems like on step forward and one step back then because idk why a surface swim speed nerf was warranted. But yeah the spiro version of beipi was extremely fun

There’s a random chance each of the parent’s mutations will be passed on

I love diablo so far! Lots of options in combat. It even got a health increase with the last patch-- I don't think it was necessary, but I'll gladly take it!

I think I was on NA4.

That's crazyyyyyy

Pls tell me you were the one I yeeted

@@gabrielkanka you might have been one of you did if you can make me out I was the grey and blue one

The lowest setting available for motion blur is "low", but I'll do so!

I salute you! One of my scariest moments in the Isle.

Oh my lord. That was crazy! It was very fun fighting your horde.

How much does nesting help with mutations

i remember u there lol

Please link it I just can’t find it in all the hoardtest content!

th-cam.com/video/Jgsy9h6CePM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YCGUgdpM5slUJUip :)

@@Cognitive_Fun th-cam.com/video/Jgsy9h6CePM/w-d-xo.html this one i think

I would love to see it!

I did some digging and couldn't find it. If you've got a link, lemme know!

What else could count if not that?

@@mrbread1867 A normal jump maybe?

Aww, thanks! So glad you enjoyed it.

I had "Duel of Fates" playing in my head, no joke 😂

Everyone can use it

It's available to everyone! Right click your game in Steam, go to "Properties", then "Betas" and select the hordetesting branch. :)

I found it very fun to connect with my inner David Attenborough :D

After the patch. Just happened yesterday! None of them managed to pin us somehow XD

@@gabrielkanka Thats kind of sad on their part especially with how many there was

@@gabrielkanka None of you went below 20% stam, probably, as well as them only getting single pounces for the most part

You can only pick them up if you're above a certain size, I think. Otherwise they just die and stay in the water.

@@gabrielkanka I was a new born, starved before I found my first meal. It would have been that frog but death had other plans ^^
