1v1 vs mauga

How do you beat this in a 1v1? I like to 1v1 when not playing quick play or ranked. As soon as I start winning they swap to mauga and there’s nothing I can do. It can facetank anything and use charge to run away and heal up or engage with 200 free damage. And can heal themselves while doing 500 damage per second. What is the strategy to beat this bs? I try to play orisa but hitting every spear and only headshots doesn’t even get it below half health like what do I do?

I don’t get this game

Like what even is this game. Is this game supposed to be balanced? There’s no point picking a land creature because every other creature can fly swim run and more. Cuddle piles everywhere. If you attack one person, 8 people come running to swarm you. Everyone else can chill in a pile but if I sit down and try to hang out I get ganged up on.
I can ambush someone half my size and they’ll stand up from laying, turn around, and kill me in 4 bites and sit back down like I’m an NPC and not a whole venerated elder. I just got killed by scrimpeii like 3 times in a row. Like this thing is 1/4 of my size facetanking me like it’s nothing. And it’s basically how the game goes. Things that shouldn’t be able to kill you can. And there’s so many creatures that look weak but are strong, I don’t even know what I’m going up against. Don’t even get me started on Bluetooth bites that hit me when I’m 67 feet away.
And the shooms? I don’t get how everything is 100,000+ shooms when they give you 5 per repetitive mission like what. I’ve never had more than 10,000 and that was after selling aolenus when the game first released officially. I like the creatures and flying and swimming and exploring but the combat and shooms is genuinely confusing me.
And the gachas are so cringe. I’ve been playing since beta and they haven’t even added any new creatures to the normal gachas. All they add is new, more expensive gachas with more currency you have to grind for. I’m not a regular player, I play like once a year, so I don’t know if there’s a way to play and I’m missing it. But I try playing this game again every so often and after like 1 week I’m like I’m exactly where I started. No new creatures, barely any mush, and everything trying to kill me. It’s like you have to grind 8 hours a day 7 days a week to get anywhere in this game.

Allo mod appreciation

Shout out to whoever made this mod. It’s literally perfect(almost). The model is as good if not better than the vanilla dinos. The animations too. And it’s fun to play, with multiple builds. Whenever I’m in a community server and this thing is available I always pick it.

Worst Dino in the game

Worst thing in the game hands down. You’ll always find a group of 3+ care bearing every dinosaur but you. It somehow can run across 3 pois, cycle through its cooldowns 4 times and still have more stamina than you. They constantly come out of nowhere to kill you or third party. Dodge ability lets it jump 15 feet to let it close any gap you had. Half your bites won’t hit it because it’s small and low to the ground. Does stupid amounts of damage. And the people that play it are the most blood thirsty players you’ve ever come across. They will do anything to get a kill. And be in chat immediately to call you trash gg ez. And it makes the cringiest sounds ever.

Large dinosaurs climbing

Was fighting a Meg and ended up getting stuck here. Probably my fault for following it into this spot, but I was sure I’d be able to get back up this rock. Turns out I couldn’t. 3/4 legs were already on the higher rock, but I couldn’t move any farther and got completely stuck.

This is something I notice a lot in dinosaur/animal sims, if you can’t jump terrain like this can become surprisingly frustrating. You get stuck on tiny rocks and branches that should be able to be stepped over.

So I’m wondering if a mechanic like that would be possible. Why aren’t small ledge-climbing systems added more often? Maybe something where you hold jump near short ledges and your dino lifts a leg up making it climbable. Or maybe bigger dino’s just have easier time scaling these kinds of cliffs.

Do you think that would be a good addition, or should getting stuck be part of terrain navigation? Personally I find it annoying getting trapped on ledges that look like they’d realistically be easy to climb. Any animal that wants to survive would have gotten up this ledge no problem.
