Nerf the Damn Spinosaurus.

Those jerks love to make homes near water. So do beginning players. Those things are basically GOD compared to someone who's most powerful weapon is a bow.

The one blocking me from moving upriver got gang beat by a pack of turtles and died, but now one decided to spawn RIGHT NEXT TO MY BASE. I don't have the equipment necessary to kill the damn thing.

Those spinos make the game next to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ impossible for low level players.

Pleas, for christ's sake nerf either their land speed so we can run away, or their health/attack power so we actually have a chance. Or perhaps nerf their spawning in the lower level areas.

I killed my first spino today as a level 22. It had been hanging around my home ever since yesterday, so I wanted it gone before it chased something too close and killed my pets.

How I killed it was by first looking around for a good place to set up an attack. I found a natural stone arch shaped like "A" where I could fit under the gap, but the spino could not. Unsure of how much HP the thing actually has, I then prepared around 55 arrows for my bow and then lured it to that arch.

It took ~18-20 arrows to the face for it to die, so I had overprepared. Got a huge amount of XP for the kill (more than half a level) and was finally rid of the jerk :)

On nerfing the southern spawns, I don't really agree. There are fairly safe areas already where players can cut their teeth, where the most dangerous thing they'll encounter would be raptors and sarco.

A new player could remain in those easier lands and amass an army of dilo, raptors, turtles and trikes before ever seeing a carno - at which point the pets they have could handle the threat. If the player wants to venture further than those areas they need to be prepared for what awaits them.
