a theory on how to get strains

[Braxxell]

theres more than one strain type, nuero, hypo, and tisso. some people say you need to play a certian dinosaur for a long time to become a strain. my theory is that you get a certian "faction" or type of perk, which getting all of one type allows you to become a strain of a paticular dinosaur.
i dont have much of an idea on how perks will work. but in short, getting a certian type of perk allows you to become a strain. comment on your theory on this.

Ive always thought that you become a hypo,neuro and tisso when you break in some secret lab that was abandoned. Maybe find some liquid that was supposed to be injected in dinos later on, but you drink it and then mutate into a beast. I actually dont know why I thought about that lol.

One thing we do know is that it won't be easy. The strains will be a really rare sight to see, so I'd imagine it's not as simple as just "surviving for a long time".
Back when progression was a thing, they added the hypo rex, which in total costed 360 points to get to adult rex and 720 points for hypo rex, which, since you get ONE POINT per minute, that'd be a really long time. Despite that, servers were literally filled with hypos left and right.
I still have no idea how one could possibly become a strain, since we don't have that much info on them. I l think it will be really interesting, and I can't wait to see how things will turn out.

Whatever the way is to reach hypo, I hope it is ridiculously difficult. Back when progression first began, adult rex in itself was supposed to be very hard to get.

Instead, rexes were behind every rock and tree like an infestation of roaches.

And then like The Ninja Scout said, hypos became a thing and they were everywhere too. Exploits helped this along, too, so hopefully with those gone and newer, more difficult ways to get these strains added, they won't be common at all. I'm hoping it's something to do with personal skill and can't be spoon-fed by an outside source like a group of friends.

Maybe after a certain time has passed, your adult has to defeat certain, very difficult and special AI with NO aid from anyone. If you lose, you lose your dinosaur and start over as juvie again. .. And if someone else does any damage to it, it doesn't work. Or something along those lines.

perks are/could be a thing in the future if you dont already know, theyre like things you get which allow abilities, like cannibalising. its not as simple as just surviving but getting all of a certian type of perk, which could make getting it very hard if im not clear

well idk, maybe im looking too far into a silly theory :P
