Too long for Triceratops to grow to adult

[Devildogs]

I haven't played all of the dinos, so I can't speak for them. I love the growing mechanic and that it feels very well earned when you reach a new stage, but I think trike takes just too long. I get so upset to have absolutely nothing to show for all those hours spent trying to stay alive. When people have limited time to play a game per day, no one is gonna be too happy when all that time they spent is just thrown into the trash. Shave an hour or two off the growth cycle, or something reasonable.

Right now... it's not reasonable. I even see servers taking advantage of this to get people to pledge to a patreon in order to gain "lives" they can use per month, so they can get their dino back after it's died.

This feels like nothing more than a way to make those few of us who actually play herbs NOT want to play them. I feel like I'm just being squeezed dry for more money to have a decent gaming experience.

Some hours of growth is fine. 5+? Stupid.

Trike gets the apex treatment which kind of makes sense. Then again 7 hours to grow seems a little excessive in general. There's a whopping 4 hour discrepancy between apex growth and the "tier" below. It doesn't feel worth it with so little variety in gameplay during growth. Its hella tedious and boring. I mean it's good to see survival servers not flooded with apex dinosaurs for a change, but not only did people stop flocking toward apexes 24/7, many people I previously played with stopped playing altogether because of this. If it was like 5 hours for all apexes it would still be more than most people would play in one session, but it would be more bearable.

I love everything else about that server! I think it's less about their patreon that I don't like, and more that the game itself opens itself up to that kind of exploitation.

I agree with you I love the server, and I dont like their patreon donating money for lives and dinosaurs its money grabbing and expencive
