Raptor Pounce

[CaptnOutrageous]

Someone want to explain to me how the hell it works? Everytime I try my raptor just sort of stops his pounce as soon as he gets off the ground....

[HashSlingingSlasher]

thats lag if his pounce stops mid pounce.

This is a known issue that we're hard at work on fixing.

raptor pounce ive realized over time playing. its interesting and it makes it far more difficult to be a raptor. you can no longer succeed in chargint 4 humans in the open. the raptor has finally become the class it should be. the game is changing and for the better. forcing acceptablility of stalking raptors and camping raptors. thats what they do when they hunt. dont stray from your human friends, i will get you.

People keep on telling me that raptors should be a stealth class and so on but when humans gang up it ain't a lot of fun to sit and stare blankly as dead human ragdolls fly everywhere because of carnos and tyrants and as well dieing from acid on the ground... And you're just sitting there... Waiting for one kill while you could have gotten 5 in the same time space if you were another class.. I'm jsut saying ;3 Maybe up the damage a raptors normal attack can do will fix the trick. I never really pounced in the original since it was cheap and hit and run tactics were a lot more fun!

i read ya on that. i have literally average of 5 kills per match with raptor, because if i go out in the open(due to its new weakness to bullets), im as good as dead. so maybe they need to make it a little tougher on the hitpoints. it sure is a rush to accomplish a pounce though, very rewarding now, very rare lol.

Exactly... Raptor feels useless and it doesn't help that the pounce system is broken XD Longer pounces are a death trap since humans can just move out of the way or you can get naded in mid air... And I have even tried where I imply couldn't pounce or my pounce would stop mid air... Completly ridiculos XD

And don't forget the ability to manually get off, I have gotten people from hehind only to have another human come up and use me as a free kill while I'm Mauling their friend.

Yes... This... I have no freaking idea why it is that you cannot stop a pounce... I mean come on... I should be able to get the heck out of the way damnit XD

and already being so weak, they need to cut down the amount of time it takes to kill a human while mauling them by half.

by half? are you one of those players that only playes raptor and only playes the dino team? the problem with the pounce before was it was to easy, to fast, to rewarding, and spammable. they fixed all of those. the only thing they have to fix now are the glitched that make it seem broken and the raptor speed and turning. otherwise its fine.

[HashSlingingSlasher]

the pounce should remain as is. its the movement system that people arent quite use to. taking time to build up speed just for walking. turning very slow when walking. thats the main issue with the new dinos

[HashSlingingSlasher]

as i said before. the way pounce is now should stay the same. the bugs and movement system are what need tweaked. pounce is meant to be used on humans who are truly alone. not when one is around the corner from another

[Crazysoldier]

The way I see it is this... Raptors are pretty close to useless since they cannot go toe to toe with a human group... Carnos can. If everyone went carno on the dino team you would be damn sure that the humans would stand zero chance. Carno can easily take on single humans and entire groups, why would anyone bother to be a stealthy class that only gets a single kill for a pounce that you cannot even stop if a commando suddenly pops up and nades you... Completly useless and pointless... Being carno and Ptera is so much more useful to the team score as a whole...

or just multable raptors you know like a team?

See this is where the "play as a team" arguement pops up... What is funny is that it's sometimes completly impossible with randomers. Half of the players don't respond the chat and the other half doesn't give a damn... It is randoml players and roughly 10-20% of those players are willing to team up but 3-4 raptors will still get one shottet by nades and shot to pieces by a human group around the same size....

then thats that dino teams fault. i see some dinos teams work togethe rperfectly and others simply dont. thats just how it works. your not alone though. ive been dragged down by a crappy team a few times before.

Happens way too foten sadly mate... But multiplayer games have a tendency to work perfectly when the team knows what they are doing or completly suck if the team doesn't... Buttom line is though, that carno is far superior to the raptor in anyway and that the raptor need some fixing. There are no real pros at being the raptor. Sure you can pounce people but it's a broken mechanic ( that'll hopefully get some loving soon... ) and the other dinos are just superior...

[HashSlingingSlasher]

well raptors can get places carnos never can. they also have a faster attack speed. so theres your pros right there.
