It’s very possible. Just a strange choice not to communicate any of that to the community

@@glitchedtag5439 Every Friday around 2pm EST glitched!

@@zx6r502 I run acceleration. It looks the worst but you never know when your toe might catch an invisible rock hitbox and suddenly stop you lol. I’ve found it helpful

@@Khanware hmm thanks will run that

They are definitely steering the game in the direction of a PvP spam fest instead of a true Dino survival game, sad. Probably because it appeals to a wider audience

Definitely agree on the game direction point. They haven’t been sure what they want it to be for a while now. Started out trying to be true dino survival game with combat elements. Now it’s leaning heavily toward combat focus with vestiges of survival elements still trailing along

I was once on Achillo when I was grabbed by a Hatz > I used the claw attack and the Hatz took damage. So maybe only certain attack?

My Achillo wasn’t an adult ( in case of wandering how I was grabbed since I don’t think adult Achilles can be grabbed )

Who knows, it might be a temp change or maybe it was done by accident and they just didn’t admit it. There’s still hope for a more balanced latch system

Beats me! I’d figure clear communication with their player base would be beneficial for everyone involved

@@theeviltobey oh hey Tobey didn’t know you perused quality content while also making it.

They changed it 3 weeks ago to what you said (you don’t get hit by the Dino you pounced on when latched), and they just silently changed it back (you now can get hit again)

@@Khanware yeah that’s stupid. They have literally gave us 50 percent dmg reduction when latched. Raptors are useless now then. Main feature is to pounce..

I think the ripping kick is better than pounce now.

Definitely on the list of things to cover at some point! I did a full achillo combat guide which you might find helpful for general combat. Strats will obviously vary somewhat dino to dino, but there are some general tips in there that might help you out (like shaking tail riders, etc)

@@Khanware I’ll rewatch it! That video was awesome! Thanks!

Fair points, but what are the two options with the previous latch system? If you can’t bite raptors, the only thing you can do is hit the jump QTE’s to shake them off. Just wondering which other option you’re referencing

Pounce with the change is a brainrot mechanic but now with it being reverted, it takes actually a little bit of skill.

In discord they show the path notes as soon as they drop. So communication is not a problem just look at ark survival ascended

Lack of communication? Where? You trippin hard bro wtf

@@Mrmilk8982 that's true but tbh I am so stick of every game in the world needing you to be a part of the discord now to get information on the game. Discord is to chat with my friends it is not a game launcher, it is not twitter, stop making me make a mess of my discord with 50 thousand game servers just to see patch notes, and updates, why else do you have a launcher with a news feature if you don't use it?

@@nigelthornberry7513 they also have an official site

Why is that remotely fair?

@@nophlast4237because you can already shake us off, and have someone else bite us off. It’s unnecessary for you to also be able to damage us. What’s the point of even pouncing just to get 1 bite out of taking major damage from you, and then die to possibly another Dino biting us to get us off. Too much risk with little reward. Not to mention sometimes when I’m pounced with another raptor pounced in the other side, we end up damaging eachother. Like what is even the point. To me, it’s whatever. But seeing people complain about how broken or op it is, is a bit over exaggerated imo.

@@nophlast4237 when we try to use pack tactics and a rex can just turn and bite us in the face and we die then why even use pounce

@@nophlast4237 why even use pounce if you can just turn and bite us in the face? Ofc your gonna be a larger creature if we're pouncing you so your gonna do more damage during the pounce so there's no reward for even pouncing

@@ragingamigo1191 there are locations on Rex you’re completely safe, latch onto the hip, abort if near the face. Assess fights and know that yes your tiny chicken can get 1 tapped by the largest apex predator history has ever seen on land with the strongest bite force in history. Fighting a Rex should have risks associated if you don’t position well. I literally play laten and dienon and it’s super unfair to just get free damage with 0 counterplay options for solo Dino’s. It’s not hard to hunt as a pouncer you just need to manage stam and timing

they had already reduced damage inflicted by a latched dino by 50%. I do hope they give the raptors SOMETHING back tho, cuz right now they're so squishy (at least the little guys)

@@Stayfnay42yeah I’d be fine if they kept it how it was Dino’s just do normal damage while latched

Well you’d think if they were just temporarily rolling it back, they’d communicate that to the player base OR at least reply to my bug report saying it’s a temp solution

No they aren’t

@@mesozoicgames6813 they are, though. When was the last time you genuinely felt threatened by a Laten/Deinon?

THANK YOU I want to main laten, but they are nearly impossible to make kills with unless you have like, a pack of 10

@@Stayfnay42I’m sorry your 1 slot can’t solo rexes anymore 😢

@@TankManHeavylatens and Deions are fantastic in group synergies as scouts and slowdown machines (forcing a Dino to slow down and pay attention to you.) They can stop Hatz from taking off, and put pressure on fleeing Dino’s to not be able to heal. It should also be noted that most Dino’s can’t hit you if you land on their hips, so there are still safe ways to pull off pounces.

Yea ramph is the one Dino that has a big excuse for not taking damage while latched. Very hard for it to do as much without that

100% agreeded

Yall some salty ass apex mains

@@BusterCherry91as a small main that mechanic was the worst thing ever

@bokadam2851 Being a hatz main was the worst thing for them lol

@@BusterCherry91 hey it’s okay to project your feelings onto other people. It’s natural.

Oh no… maybe it’s a fully bugged accidental change then and they’re just pretending it’s not bugged LOL

Maip could hit latched dinos from anywhere before this change occured. You could use tail attack to hit dinos on your hip and claw attack to hit ones on your chest. Lambeo had a similar thing where rodeo kick can hit pounced things off of it. Unless you mean other attacks in which this may be the case.

@@Khanware ​Going off of what Wesasaurus-rex said: After the reverse tho Maips could still hit laten on it hips with its claws or bite. Lambeo also was able to hit latens with its front kicks even if the laten was on the lambeos hips but rodeo didnt hit. Its overall a very odd situation. looking on their discord bug forum said basically the same as the video "...not a bug or wont be fixed..."

Modded servers can adjust dino settings however they see, fit, this may not apply on officials

You may be totally correct 😂 I was wondering if it was a “let’s just brush this under the rug” type thing until they figure it out

@@Khanware 🤣🤣 most definitely seems like that one to me actually.

Even then you'd think they wouldn't have included it in the patchnotes if it was an accident.

Yeah people would like them more if they publicly owned up to mistakes. Just looks better overall, we’re all human

Probably because they realized their mistake, lol. But this is a win. They have proven that they listen to their community. I love this game. God has certainly blessed us with this ☝️ ✝️

​@@SamuRhino2023fr

@@SamuRhino2023 idk chief seems sus, Alderon Games is way better than Afterthought in terms of communication but this is fishy.

It is a win especially for solos who run dinos unable to run slick hide/feathers/scales. But its bad that they didn't announce it.

Maybe it refers to reflexive damage only? Like when normally bitting a kentro causes bleed but when you’re pounced it doesn’t apply bleed
