Hey y'all, I need some advice for aerial combat on Thal! Whenever I try to fight in the air, I end up taking massive amounts of collision damage, especially if I try to use Barrel Roll.

What am I missing? Is there a way to use Barrel roll without also doing huge damage to myself?

Ever since the most recent update, I can see like, empty spots? Where the map doesn't load in. Its only on far away areas where you can see for a long way, like Dry Lake or GP. It leaves big holes in the ground and I can see the skybox.

Is this because of the change to that "world partitioning" thing? If so, I don't like it 😭 I used to be able to get beautiful landscape shots with the scenic views, but i cant do it anymore because of the world not loading in. Anyone else on PS5 noticing this?

On Gondwa, the devs removed IC water and the White Cliffs waystone to remove the "problem" of too many people congregating at Impact Crater. Now it has moved a few hundred meters to the east, on the banks of GPR, and White Cliffs is a deadzone. Yes, GH, SF, and BQL are often hotspots, but they were before the change. There always seems to be a main Hotspot with 1 or 2 secondary ones. Will the next step be to remove the river at GP? Haha. (I think the IC issue could have been fixed by merely removing the ability to restore water there. The total removal of water and the WS was a bit overkill.)

​

On Riparia, the initial hotspot was Mudflats until they moved some waystones and homecaves around. Now the main one is Cedrus Forest, and secondary would probably be Wollemi or DFC. How long will it be before people ask for the water at Cedrus to be removed?

​

Even the upcoming matchmaking changes probably won't stop hotspots, because people will still want to have a place to go where they can brawl.

​

I don't think hotspots will ever stop on officials, unless they add a huge number of players to the server. People are going to find an area to fight, and that's just how it will be. 🤷‍♀️ Me, I honestly enjoy hotspots, but I know some people don't. I don't really view hotspots as a problem, it's just player preference that creates them.

​

I think adding various game modes is what will be the best way to handle it. I'm a big fan of adding options so more of the player base will be able to play how they want. I hope the they will have a solo mode, perma-death mode, and other options. Another mitigation tactic would be wildfires or storms, some kind of environmental hazard to encourage migrations. Something besides limiting water.

​

Anyway, that's just my opinion. I look forward to seeing how the game develops as time goes on!

I got attacked by an adult Meg on my mid-adol Stego. He kept biting the very tip of my tail, and my swings kept missing him. If I turned to chase him, of course he would just run away. Is there any way for Steg to deal with nimble opponents that keep just biting the tail tip? For some reason, enemies can bite your tail while not actually getting hit by tail swings.

It seems like Megs can keep up with my struthi with their large stamina pool and lunge bite. Struthi really needs its old speed back. You cant even escape them by jumping anymore.

How are my fellow Struthis coping with the Meg TLC?

I'm trying to cultivate a positive outlook and believe in myself, but its hard! What are some ways you have successfully motivated yourself or believed in yourself? I want to get encouraged, but I need a little extra boost.

Hey everyone, I am back on 20 mg of Lex after a year on 10 mg. 20 mg used to be absolutely wonderful for me. I only decreased because I thought it might help me lose weight, but it became clear 10 mg wasn't enough to help with my anxiety and irritability.

It's now about 8 weeks since getting back to 20 mg, and I have had a lot of ups and downs. I've been struggling with sudden downward mood swings and tearfulness. Does this mean Lexapro suddenly isnt working for me anymore, or can it take this long to work sometimes?

33F, if that matters at all. I had my hormones tested and everything was normal.
