The video discusses the potential impact of reintroducing dinosaurs into a game, specifically the meta changes that would occur if they were unbanned. The dev team had previously banned dinosaurs due to their massive size and the complications that came with balancing them. The host of the video interviews a dev who explains that the team is considering a dinosaur remaster.
If dinosaurs were reintroduced, the host believes that Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and Dromaeosaurus would be top-tier due to their unique abilities and characteristics. However, other dinosaurs like Hadrosaurs, Tyrannosaurs, and Sauropods might struggle to survive in the current meta.
The host notes that dinosaur players would need to learn new abilities to contend with the advanced meta, especially when it comes to human players. The video ends with a promotion for Skillshare, an online learning community that can help players improve their skills and learn new things.
Here are the extracted facts:
1. Patch 1.3.1 banned dinosaurs, marine reptiles, and pterosaurs from the game.
2. The developers have never unbanned any classes before.
3. The dinosaur class was one of the most popular in the game's history.
4. The developers received a lot of pushback when they released the first extinction pack.
5. The meta was getting stale, especially with players opting to play larger and larger land carnivores.
6. The developers tried to buff herbivores by putting two additional horns on the eunice era tops.
7. The developers tried to nerf the rage ability of the tier s players by increasing the frequency they want to engage in sexual behavior.
8. The developers are seriously considering a dinosaur remaster due to popular demand.
9. Many character models are shrunk-down reskins of dinosaurs.
10. Dinosaurs require a massive amount of food, potentially more than the current game could provide.
11. If dinosaurs were unbanned, the developers would likely need to buff the spawn rates of pretty much everything.
12. Dinosaurs have modest speed and intelligence compared to modern builds.
13. Most top-tier builds would out-speed and outsmart dinosaurs on a regular basis.
14. Herbivores with tail weapons, such as Stegosaurus and ankylosaurus, would be well-suited to survive in the current meta.
15. Large tyrannosaurs would not fare well in the current meta.
16. Smaller tyrannosaurs, like albertasaurus and Daspletosaurus, would be viable.
17. Mobility is a key factor in the current meta, and predators need to be highly mobile to succeed.
18. Dromaeosaurus, like Velociraptor and Deinonychus, would be top contenders for being overpowered in the current meta.
19. Raptor builds would have little trouble in combat versus builds like possums, raccoons, and birds.
20. Raptors would have an edge in one-on-one combat against canines due to their burst damage potential.
