  Jeez, yall realize making the raptors impossible to play will make the RAPTOR mains complain about how broken the game is because of a currently perfectly functional character ability just like you are now? And the devs will try to fix it by nerfing your herbs or wayyyy overpowering the raptors? Stop complaining dude. This game is obviously not finished and is in active development. It has already been getting so much better and the way they incentivize players to behave is really the only thing that needs to change besides raining in caves. All the raptors have already been nerfed to the dirt and given back a TINY fraction of the power, speed, and stam they had in the beginning, and you guys are still complaining about them being overpowered just because you main bigger slower playables and don’t know how to deal with it?

  totally agreed.. my Eotriceratops was killed by a single Latenivenatrix .. and i could do absolut NOTHING to prevent this.. i couldn't touch it.. or get it of.. and he was just sitting on me and biting and the damage i recieved for each bite was insane!!
  makes the Eotriceratops absolut garbage against such a small creature..
  
  He didn't fell of even if i used stomp or my horn.. he just flew right past the horns and on my back..
  I tried running into a tree to see if it would knock him of... my brother who was playing a Kentro.. couldn't hit him while he sat on me!?!?!?!?
  The Pounce ability is not fair .. it should only be able to pounce once.. then bite and then fall off. It should NOT be able to stick and just sit there for minutes and just bite/bit/bite. :(

  A way to deal with it, would be to make the raptor, only sit on you (pounche) and when it bites the first time, it should automatically fall off and then have a cooldown of at least 20 sec before it can do it again!
  
  But only be able to pounche/grab if it is coming from the sides.. And it should not be able to jump you from the front or back..!

  They’ve already nerfed small raptors, and I haven’t been able to kill anything even as a sub adult with pounce, while Achillobator needs a nerf Deinonychus players can’t survive another one

  Deion needs a buff I like him he’s small and fast and has jumping attacks and quick attacks that is the only reason dieno is playable one more attack nerf and it all goes away

  Also honestly I know it sounds rude, but to be killed by a single Laten as an Eo or a Rex is absolutely ridiculous, you can pretty much one shot those guys as either so if you weren’t hitting them, which isn’t impossible to do, or jumping to buck them I don’t understand why you are upset, It honestly sounds like a skill issue to me and you are upset that you have to actually try

  If you time your stomps right you can easily kill a laten or deinon on a dismount.
  I also can't count the number of times I tried to jump on an eo and it just precision turned and instantly killed me with its horns.
  More and more I see these post about the raptors and more and more it seems like it's coming from people who just don't know how to handle their dinos.

  Raptors don't need more nerfing devs has been nerfing raptors since it appeared in game. EO can one shot raptors easily , if you couldn't hit it once in the whole time that take to laten to kill you then it's skill issues and don't misunderstood me I'm a deinon main deino has been the weakest dino for years but we learned to fight using environment and every single ability or opportunity, big dinos just rely on their powerful bites you just need to see an apex fight they just tank head to head and bite until one falls down

  1: How many times does a laten/deino need to bite a trike to kill it? Sorry but that might just be a bad player if you can’t kill it before it land the 100 bites necessary to kill you. 2: The damage is already reduced by like 50%. This doesn’t apply to everything, but still. 3: The large creatures can easily one-shot raptors. How many times has a laten lived a rex bite? Pounce is in a fine situation right now, and you can just shake which drains stamina even more.

  Yeah. That pounce is ridiculous. On Laven managed to take out my Titan because I couldn't do anything to hit it. Absolutely ridiculous how long they can stay latched on.

  How do you have a full grown Rex but have no idea how to get a raptor latched onto you off? You spam the buck/jump button and it depletes his stamina. Walking backwards in a circle while doing this drops him directly in front of your mouth to attack him when he lands. Pounce is not OP nor is it even especially strong.

  What?
  I play raptors ALL the time, and whatever I pounce onto does one of two things: somehow nearly one shots me or has 20+ friends that swarm me and I get 2 tapped.
  I don't see the problem

  These comments that im reading are absolutely absurd! No raptors cannot just pounce and sit there for minutes on end and just bite you what a load of rubbish.

  So real! When I was at my friends house, he played as an Adult Rex. A juvi raptor pounced on him from behind and stayed there until he eventually died! Each bite damager was CRAZY. He would've easily killed the raptor when he dismounted, but he never dismounted! He stayed on his back for like 15-20 minutes! What is this??? Nerf this!

  With the new trample TLC, I do not believe this is truly necessary, you can easy walk a little bit on the bby raptors tail and he’d probably die if your a Rex. And if you latch onto the front latching slot of the Rex, you will often be bitten. And for your specific example, rexes could grab the raptor and kill it.

  Fine the baby raptor can only jump half of the body of a rex

  That bby lat was probably cheating firstly, second, RAPTORS ARE REALLY NOT THAT STRONG. It is only (expect achi) just now balanced STOP COMPLAINING AND GET GOOD PLZ. Upping the cd for literally the base of lats entire build is ABSURD. There’s a REASON why they’re already easy to kill, most of yall just don’t seem to know how to fight lats lol. They already have lower stam, and it takes a Rex three shakes to get an adult lat out of stam. Truth is they aint that hard to kill. I’ve killed groups of five and six lats on my tt and Rex recently, Eo is ACTUALLY just too slow for the way it’s designed to fight, but this is absurd. As far as the raptors go, it’s not them thats the problem unless they’re ACTUALLY harassing you. Most of the time, a pack of lats is just hungry, but they are pretty darn easy to kill. You can also move away from the packs until they move out of the area. Limiting other players so you just dont have to worry about them is ABSURD. I can’t believe this is in progress…

  I agree. With bigger and slower dinos you are completely helpless. There is no counterplay to this which makes it incredibly cheesy.
  Even a single raptor can´t be fought off because of this. Trolltool No.1. Makes me sick.

  Also, Ive played solo on dinosaurs like sucho, steg, Rex, tt, conc, and lat. Im capable of killing a group of lats on a tt and Rex, soooo…. Lowkey skill issues??? An eo who knows what its doing can negate damage and absolutely DESTROY a lat pack too, it doesnt make sense that you all keep asking to ‘nerf this’ and ‘nerf that’ JUST to make the game easier for YOU, lol.

  If you’re getting killed by a baby as an adult, that’s not really a raptor balance issue. Raptors have to play aggressively and rely on skill to bring down larger animals. If a baby raptor is consistently killing you, it may come down more to how you’re defending yourself than the raptor itself.
