My problem with Genesis

[Sicksadpanda]

First of all, I do realize that Wildcard doesn't read the forums, but I feel the need to vent.

Everyone's complaining about Swarms and No-Flyers, but I personally don't care about them. Swarms are extremely annoying, but they're not game breaking for me after I got my hands on the frog. And I sorta like the game more without flying as it adds an interesting challenge, it also gives a lot of dinos to shine as well...otherwise we'd be using just Argy/Ptero instead of like 10-20 other dinos.

The most frustrating aspect of Genesis is teleportation. The teleport system has been extremely dangerous and it costed me many Bloodstalkers. Whenever I teleport, 80% of the time, there's a predator waiting there and ready to kill me before I can even react (literally). Just now, I teleported to South of Bog (took me Southeast instead...) which has been a safe spot for me for a while. And even so, I placed an S+ Feeding trough in hopes of preventing spawns, but that apparently wasn't enough as an X-raptor had already killed me before I could even start moving around.

At this point, I'm probably going to have to start cryopodding my dinos during teleportation, because the death chance is high, and I have lost approximately 7 bloodstalkers to it (they cannot defend themselves very well). It's just very frustrating to have to die during teleportation as I have no control over it. I get automatically dismounted when teleported, so I cannot quickly escape the moment predators attack me.

I'm hoping that Wildcard will fix this by allowing us to have an increased survivability chance after teleportation. A 5 or 10 second wild dino attack "immunity" buff would be plenty. But for the time being, does anyone have recommendations for how I deal with teleportation? I personally really enjoy playing Genesis, but teleportation has been extremely frustrating (and I don't see that being difficult either, just bullcrap).

Yeh my friend, that is really annoying, and i dont like it too, i died a lot too. If your server you can always build some kind off fence in that area you will respawn. One time i did even respawn dead,hahaha and my bear dead too, almoast max lvl before tamed :/

I didn't buy genesis but that sounds fun. I just want to be able to use mindwipe again.. gonna go play kenshi while WC figure out how to program.

I agree, it's pretty ridiculous.
Especially when you consider the fact that X-dinos do so much damage to tamed dinos. There should be an invulnerability buff that makes you untargetable by wilds applied to everything when teleporting through HLN-A. Naturally, you would also be unable to do damage while the invulnerability is active. In my opinion, 10 seconds should be plenty of time, but I don't know how long it takes for people with less powerful hardware to be able to see after teleporting, so they might even need longer. I wonder if there's a way for the server to wait for the client to to finish loading before it stops the invulnerability.

You can use mindwipe again actually. By default, it'll allow you to mindwipe 24 hours after your first one. Or you can disable that option and mindwipe infinitely in single or unofficial.

They could easily fix this, as well as a whole host of other issues, by changing the object load order. Load the environment, then placed structures, then the player, then creatures, wild and tamed.

At least that way, if you get spawn camped by agressives, you have a fighting chance to fight or flee. It would also solve tames falling out of structures and through the ground.

It's bugged atm, some players are getting like 1200 day cool downs.

This. I'm level 99 and used like 50 of them before but now they all show 1240 days until I can use one. I run my own server so I can temp cheat in the stuff I need and drop the mats on the ground but that gets fun quick.

This is good idea.

Having a Theri or other tanky dino set to 'attack my target' has saved me a few times. I agree the Teleportation feature needs tweaking. A lot of the time I do not teleport to the region I picked. I would like to see HLNA teleport me to my TP pad at base, with an option to 'teleport to Teleport Pad' or something. Maybe a modder can add that option in the future.
