Bronto HP
My Bronto "Brozilla" used to have 70k HP since i put as good as every skillpoint into that.He is lvl 180+. I wanted to have that "mobile base" as advertised in their dossier.

First balancing patch and he had 20 or 19k hp. Now they "buffed" him to astonishing high value of 24k HP.

Are you kidding me?

Im allrite with a lot of changes but this isnt "nerf" and no "buff", its pathetic.

My rex had 30k hp and has 11k or something left. But a damn rex can bite, can stomp, can run! (!!!) and all. My bronto at 24k HP aint worth the building on his back!

Please please please dear DEVs tell me you gonna look into Bronto HP again. They so damn slow and so huge, you can't throw them into the fray with such tiny HP pool and expect people to build on them. And that day ive spent taming him kinda feels like wasted lifetime right now.

(Im okay with other aspects of the balancing i saw, but this tiny Bronto HP kinda saddens me a lot and makes feeding him feel like throwing food away.)

I agree with the balance in general, but devs for sure need to look bit deeper into dino attributes side. Like OP mentioned, a bronto needs to have way more HP to overcome its shortage, so to the many other dinos... I hope they can uppper the trike as well, it should be able to go up against t-rex, and also many others....

A dino for newbie or not? Well, I guess players won't really matter it that much, everyone if they stay in the game, will eventully reach late game...

Of course, if this is the first step into balancing dinos, I am all for it, but please let the next step look deeper into attributes for each dino.

24k HP is WAY to high in my opinion if you take into account that turrets have their x3 dmg against dinos removed with 24k HP you can now tank like 5 fully loaded turrets without the need of healing.

I am pretty sure you play on a server with high harvest amounts and not on any server with official setting (1) or close to 1 ... because there it is pathetic that you have so much live and can tank that much

lemp but did you take in account that my rex is at 11k hp now while the bronto is at 24k ?
i dont know how strong/weak that 24k hp might be now with that nerfed damage everywhere. How much HP do giganotos have now? Imho Brontos should have at least same amount (tbh i think they should have MORE than that beast because brontos take much longer to tame and they are pretty much useless due to their lack of speed)

On what kind of server i play imho doesnt matter much, simply because it's a small server without any actual warfare (too few ppl=you helped evryone at some point=all friends/all tolerate each other/all owe something to someone on the "other side", pretty boring tbh and thus dead soon imho, but thats not the point at all)

If you say 24k HP is now like 70k HP used to be, allrite. I just have doubts still.

bronto 2h45min to tame
giga 3h25min to tame

bronto base life 1850 +370 for every wild Point ... so if you tame a lvl 120 with high efficiency Lets say +45 you have 165 wild points in total - if 20% of the wild points gibt i to Health you have 33 points in Health making it 1850 + 33 * 370 = 14060 life - as a taming Bonus u get +0.5 (meaning +50%) making bronto base hp 21k life

and now you get crazy 27% of base life for each Level in HP - which would be Little over 3k per Level ...

i guess u just have a Bad bronto with Bad HP wild Point role
