Giganotosaurus?!
I was just checking out the new patch notes and found
-20k Tamed base HP on Giganotosaurus
but actually the HP on mine dropped from 75k to 30k and again it does much less damage, even my T-Rex is stronger than my Giga now...
And the wild giga now got 150k HP and 20% less damage -.-
Its now even harder to kill a wild giga as your tamed one now is MUCH weaker than the wild one.
Please DEVS, fix it. At least on PvE servers, you should feel as a boss if you`ve got one.

They don't need to fix it.



They need to abort the whole thing. No wild "everyday" creature should have THAT much damage or HP.

The 20k less health was actually the 2nd round of nerfs for the giga. It was hit with an original nerf that hit all the tamded dinos. Then they realized even with 50k health against... And High level rexes were rocking only like 8k. The second round of nerfs cut its health again, then gave other tamed dinos a slight boost to not make them invincible. Its balanced quiet nicely.

This is coming from a tribe who has 9 of them, most over 150.

PvP might have balanced(doubt it) but PvE is still a huge problem. In fact treating this like two separate games with different stats for wild and tamed dinos is what lead to these stat problems to begin with.

That is not so, killing a Giga is easy, lure it into a large mass of water (preferably with either wild or tamed creatures). The Giga may drown but if it doesn't then the creatures in the water plus your own (Mosasaurus, Plesiosaurus and Megalodon are the best) will decimate the Giga.

Also, if you can, get the DODOREX to kill it.

It's definitely possible, Giga's barely get any extra points when upgraded, high level Rex can have 15k to 30 k hp, around the same as a Giga, plus the dmg on a rex get's lots of points when upgraded.

I feel it's better this way, Giga's not too op plus it's still possible to kill the Dodorex on land now.

Rex will never sniff the amount of dmg a giga can do

It does, my giga got down to like 60% and my trex is about 3k-4k (not sure anymore) anyways my giga needs two bites to kill a carbonemeys lvl 1 and my trex 1, the rex can even 1 hit a lvl 60

Sounds like you don't have the Dino nerfs then. On a balanced server you won't come close, also sounds like your giga is very low level

Giga is lvl 68, rex lvl 200, anyways its a fun pve server, but the nerfs are still there, the rex was way higher before the patch but even now its still stronger than the giga

A high level giga is still unstoppable. In PvP you will always lose against giganoto, no matter what you bring up and even if you can kill it, you will lose much more regarding time investment ect. The only way to beat giganoto is to bring up a stronger giganoto - everything else is useless. Overkill in my opinion.


lol. just tame a low quetz, give them a platform saddle, build a generator with 2-4 turets 100amo to each enough and make a plant-x array. set autoturets players only and plantix to tamed. and profit. the autoturets will kill the rider of giganoto and destory all rockets or attacking ptera riders. if u have 4-6 planx in array u can kill the giga from safe distance in 2 min.
Drago Feb 13, 2016 @ 7:03am 
Or if the giga rider is smart he will scout out the area, kill your Plant X turrets with a Longrifle then Giga-frack your base.

It'd be impossilbe for your rex to currently have 3k melee with the current dino nerfs. My best rex had 3600 melee pre nerf, then it fell to 600% after the nerf. And that's with increased leveling too. We can level our dinos over 100 times.

I'm working on a new rex now, its going to cap out around 1k melee by the time the thing is max level.
