Let's Play: Raptor

This video was sponsored by Curiosity Stream and if you like it, there's a second one about Nebula. More on that at the end of the video. I've been getting a lot of requests to start posting actual game

play

in addition to my usual character creation guides. and tier lists, so today I thought I'd share a vote on an old game I made during the Cretaceous expansion. I'll talk about my choices and actions as they come up, so I hope this gives you an idea of ​​not only how the dinosaur meta actually

play

ed out, but maybe even gives you some strategy ideas for your current game, although many Of the compilations that appear in this fog have been banned or severely weakened, if people end up enjoying this style of video it might make a little more. maybe even show you all the versions I'm running in the ad meta anyway, so that's enough introduction.

One of the best attributes dinosaurs had access to was gigantism, so it might surprise you to see that I'm introducing a bill for Ford to go with that option. In favor of some other pick skills and stat assignments, this build focuses entirely on the playstyle that is a hybrid between mobility and, most surprisingly, intelligence, there were very few intelligence drafts available during this meta, but this It's the one that was the most successful, so right now I'm exploring this herd of pachyrinosaurs to see if I can kill. I'm one of the low level players that says this build power stat is mediocre, that would be an understatement.

I have no chance of winning a one-on-one battle. one even with a mid-level pachyrinosaur player and unfortunately for me it seems the pachyrinosaurs are working as a team to protect their rookies, meanwhile my teammates are nowhere to be found. You can never count on your teammates in this game. It's winter right now. It means that some things, a skill like feathers, are indispensable as they ensure that I don't take constant cold damage and staying well fed is essential to ensure that my character's metabolism and therefore body temperature are sufficient to avoid the intermittent cold snaps that will cause I'll eventually hit the server if I'm not well fed during those events, take a lot of damage, and potentially even finish the game, so instead of hoping for a chance to take out a small group here, I know to Saurus.

I'm going to need to improvise and this is where my character's high intelligence, which comes first, gives me an exploration and foraging bonus, allows me to scan and find loot that other players would miss, for example, in the forest biome , you needed a fairly high intelligence. level to search for bugs successfully but for my character finding bugs is pretty easy now I'm not trying to cope like being able to catch bugs is a game breaking skill a single mistake would barely fill my hunger gauge however what Is it a powerful ability? is what I'm about to show you, instead of consuming the insect and getting its mineral benefits, I will use it as bait.

Fish are worth many more hunger points than insects. In fact, a single fish is enough to fill or fill. all my food meter, this is the power that comes with a high intelligence stat, avoids combat completely but still accesses XP rich meat sources and just in time too because the first cold snap is about to hit hit this pachyrinosaurus. The player must have been separated from our teammates and died in the cold while he was looking for them. This corpse will be an excellent source of emergency food if necessary, but for now I want to show you another advanced intelligence technique.

I'm going back to the forest, but this time instead of looking for bugs. I have a much easier goal: the trees here aren't currently producing any free Hayek pollutants, but I buried some here earlier in my game so that now, when food is scarce, I'll have plenty of food ready to go. This should be enough to get you through the winter. I should probably check around just to make sure no one is watching me steal my secret stash when I leave. It seems that I am safe and I will shoot. This player's camouflage allowed them to pass unnoticed through my surroundings.

This is really not good even though I have greater mobility. I definitely can't afford to burn through all my stamina in a long chase time to employ another intelligence-based technique to let me escape, let me check the rounds and see if there are any potential environmental hazards nearby. Oh, perfect, my character is light enough to cross, but if the Stratis, our player does not have the intelligence available before analyzing the danger, he will walk directly towards me. trap - easy I wasn't forced to burn much energy during the chase, but it took the rest of my preparation time.

The cold snap is imminent and I have no more time to look for food before it arrives. I hope I can achieve it. I'm going to skip most of the winter game, since it's a lot of just hunkering down and waiting. I wasn't attacked during the entire event, which is good because if I was I would have probably depleted my remaining food reserves and started to slow down due to the extra light from the aurora constructs that would normally try to attack under the cover of darkness, their plans They got frustrated even though the overworld is in a state of constant darkness right now, anyway I'm going to go ahead and skip the rest of the winter event for the sake of this video and now we're in a major conflict with the base of pachyrhinosaur players.

I see a loot of high value plants on the other side of the Salt Flats, unfortunately the salt flats are the spawn point for the Raptors, so that's it. me and my teammates to defend the area so that the pakkir I know doesn't trample it and deny us our response. Pachyrinosaurs build horns that could easily deal lethal damage to any Raptor player in a single hit, meanwhile, it would take a concerted effort. several Raptor players can even deal a moderate amount of damage to a full tank like pachyrinosaurs, so to defend the salt flats our only real option is intimidation.

Rhinos have a low intelligence which makes them more susceptible to manic manifestations and, due to their herd behavior, frightening. away one of them should be enough to deter them all looks like they will be saved finally failed to pour our spawn points are safe for now it's time to return to the nest my main mission of surviving the winter and reproducing is now complete but i can get it a end of rank s by completing a final task for that, this time I return to the forest and bring my brood once again. I can run an environment scan to detect enemies and possible loot locations.

Well, bingo, looks like I found what I was looking for. I could probably guess where this is going with my brood of newbies watching. I throw the bait into the river and in a short time I guarantee them a high-value loot. One of these players tries this right away, but gets a critical failure on his survival. skill check that could have led to the game ending if I hadn't rested it with my properly trained brood. I get the s rank ending and all my brood get an extra proficiency in her survival skill. I hope you enjoyed this outsider game even though it was on a legacy server, I plan to do more plays in the future and potentially even reveal who I created in the current Anthropocene patch, but if there are any builds you'd like me to make a game, let me know in the comment if you liked this video.

I'm happy to announce that I made a second video just like it on Nebula. It's a video that focuses on a Dyna Kairos reproduction and builds an omnivorous clawed dinosaur, so if you're interested in seeing how the Dyna kairos were built there during the Cretaceous meta and how they dealt with threats large and small, let me tell you everything about Nebula so Nebula is a streaming service created by a group of creators, including myself, it's a place where we can. We upload as much as we want safe from algorithmic suppression and thanks to funding from our partner curiosity stream, we have the opportunity to make much larger projects with higher production value.

My Dyna Kairos video is exactly that: it's a double-length episode complete with some of the most action-packed fight scenes. I have had the privilege of playing in a similar way. I think some of my best work, so please check out both this video and the nebula video. Images from the Curiosity Streams documentary. Amazing Dinoworld. A new original curiosity channel. that's easily on par with Walking with Dinosaurs in production quality and you can get access to its original documentary and mind charm at the same time because the best way to access the nebula is through our curiosity stream package that gives you access to both amazing. streaming sites, so if you want to support top-notch educational content and independent creators alike and get access to amazing streaming sites, this is definitely a free trial you won't want to miss, check out the link in the description using the promotion code to access.
