New update gutted the vegetation and killed stealth gameplay
Am I the only one who thinks the latest update completely ruined the ambush/stealth side of the game?
Bushes used to actually mean something. You could tuck into dense foliage as a carnivore and wait, or hide as a juvenile and actually have a chance to survive. Now half the undergrowth is gone, sightlines are wide open everywhere, and "hiding" is basically pointless.
Less vegetation, fewer obstacles, fewer terrain features to play around... all it does is dumb the game down. Stealth, positioning, map knowledge — that was the skill ceiling. Now it's just "spot dino, run at dino." You don't need game sense anymore, you just need eyes.
Feels like the update was made for people who couldn't be bothered to learn how the game actually works. The Isle was supposed to be about tension and survival, not open-field deathmatch.
Anyone else feeling this or did I miss something?
