Still an unplayable game.

I find it weird that the faster and worse turning mode is the bipedal one. quadrupeds in nature are on average faster because more time is spent accelerating, the bipedal mode should be a slower running mode in which u turn faster and can fight better, seeing as your front legs are free. quadrupedal should be quick but slow turning and limited fighting options.

That stamina drained so fast when running and attacking holy hell. I remember running circles around a maia as a Dilo for like 15 mins

Did they changed the damage ? There should be no way I kill 2 adult dibbles while only on orange health

Eu acho que eles mudaram a otimização do jogo tambem, o meu fps ta bem mais alto do que ultimamente

C'mon, it was just released. U can't put it at something like "HUGE NERF" Everything has to be balanced and of course, physically and realistically at least as much as it it could be. But appreciate the infos.

good video

bro got nerfedt to the ground like carno

Idm the changed, but wish they buffed the speed a bit so they at least run away from predators. As far i'm aware of everything can keep up with it. Well maybe expect cerato but their stam sucks.

can you change bipedal to quadrupedal at the time you turn while running?

i think maia supposed to be runner / rammer dinosaur so people complaining about maia damage being so weak its logic thing despite the kick maia doesnt have big sharp claw or big teeths or fangs

Very awesome changes

Wait , they nerfed a HERBIVORE ?!?!

Aight boys get ready for the herbi players crying concert

yup only thing needed nerf was the big stomp but everything else got nerfed unplayable creature currently even before the nerfs if u knew what u were doing and if u were anything like raptor or dilo u could solo herds now maia is free meal like in legacy

No matter what they do whit maia its just a walking hamburger for carnis.

Can just use quad to compensate bipedal nerfs but i suppose 95% of the community will never know about that

On Quad ALT RMB does a kick these days.

Yep Maia looks great now. The only thing I would call a "huge nerf" is the many stamina attacks. I feel like it wouldve been fine to have the running stun and stomp cost some (I do agree with the amount stomp costs as it is a powerful attack) and leave the rest unchanged but oh well. We might get a another pass after the holidays if it turns out to be really bad. The LMB and RMB thing definitely needs changing though, I always mix it up and like you said, it just doesnt feel right.

This is great. I think it's actually a buff, making it far more agile in quadruple mode. Really shows how bipedal is for travelling and quadruple to fight

Did they nerf the stamina ore is the same?

Haha this shit is so weak compared to tenno

i think that they did this to make it feel more heavy? More weight added to it with how slow it turn? I don't know- It feel like it have a reason that this chance happens yet I have no idea how to explain.

Thank god for this video i was not playing the right one gaddeym

Great changes tbh. People might actually have a reason to use quad stance now

Worthless dino

It seems to me like you’re supposed to start off quadroped and then switch while running for a regular acceleration. Which I really like.

Good

I thought the Maia was fine before, it just needed some tweaks... but not that much. The one that needs a nerf is the Dilo, so that the hallucinations don't do the same damage as the Dilo itself since it doesn't make sense.

Hopefully this will slow down the Maias that try to kill anything on sight and spam their stomp. Hyper Aggressive Maias are why I took a step back from HT

So many people in comments don't get the point that maia shouldn't be fast strong and agile in the same time not because "hadrosaurs are food". It's about basics of gamedesign: every playable should be able to fight or flee. Besides simple running away fleeing includes herrera's climbing, omni's agility (vs carno or dilo), beipi's swimming (vs land predators) or escaping to land (vs deinos). Prenerf maia was broken because it could chase ceras or dibbles while being stronger at the same time. That means if maia wants you dead - you are dead, no proper counterplay. That's a huge balance problem. In a game where it takes hour or more to grow a playable you should be punished for your mistakes, not for picking a wrong dino at the select screen.

Thats a very good change, cuz atm it'd just be wayyyyy too op... it'd be the new Stego unless you ofc go up against a group of 10 carnivores xddd

Achei todas essas mudanças excelentes, exceto os custos de stamina. Fazer a postura quadrupede ser mais voltada pra combate e a bipede ser mais voltada pra fugir foi uma maneira muito boa de fazer os dois modos serem uteis de alguma forma, mas esses custos de stamina pra tudo criam um certo dilema, onde voce decide lutar, ve que está perdendo, mas não consegue mais fugir por que gastou sua stamina lutando ou então tenta fugir e falha e aí não tem stamina pra lutar. O maia já tava tendo certa dificuldade pra enfrentar animais pequenos (dilo e omni por exemplo) por causa da sua falta de agilidade, agora talvez isso fique ainda mais complicado. Bom, só mais alguns dias de teste pra mostrar se isso vai acabar com o maia ou vai fazer ele realmente ser balanceado. Obrigado Kouga por sempre trazer esses videos testando e mostrando todas mudanças que acontecem no jogo 🥰

now release it to main branch before they go on break. then when they get back they can focus on getting rex and trike or allo to the next horde test

They definately need to swap left/right click for quad, super counter intuitive that the stam attack swaps clicks between stances.

So the maia can't shove without stam but a stego can swing it's tail as much as it wants and tenos kicking costs little to no stam OK buddy

Great video. Do any guide on how to optimise the games configs? I love the game but a cant get it over 10 fps without making it a minecraft mod

These are good changes

Now it's just easy meal for carnos (and raptors probably). I could kill maia on a carno without much problem before and now it can't even try to run away with this agility.

Music?

I hope this Dosent hurt the Maia’s ability to flee from danger. As a maia I don’t typically fight prey I flee so the idea that other players don’t try to do that they all wanna fight then the game devs go and ruin that for both combators and fleers is terrible

see this seems alot more of what i expected out of maia , its still gonna be great but not the return of update 3 carno but this time its got 4x more health. very glad they nerfed it

not sure I agree with the stamina changes, everything else is fine. If it's meant to be able to defend itself but also have the ability to run away it feels counter-productive to have so many attacks cost stamina. Especially if a lot of those attacks like the bipedal kick aren't doing much damage unless you're hitting the head on a stationary target. It's a multi-hit move so its real damage is potential not direct. What it seems like it's going to be is that Maia will be able to defend itself but then it won't be able to run away. And if you run away but fail to lose the threat then you're screwed even moreso.

wdym in survival, are there private servers on the hordetest???

They're trynna force us to use _both_ stances instead of just bipedal. But they need to make the switch between the two stances more instant and more easy to use. It takes like 3 seconds to switch, making me want to just stay in a single stance the whole time. Also, why do they always gotta _over-nerf_ things? Just nerf a bit, then a bit more, then a little bit more until it's at the place it needs to be. I don't get why they do such extreme moves like this.

Basically the devs saw ppl using the bipedal stance for combat and didn’t want the players haveing fun
