New player to The Isle. Legacy vs EVRIMA questions.

[Tread_Head57]

I've only been playing The Isle for about a week (legacy), and have really enjoyed it so far. Just discovered yesterday about EVRIMA but haven't been able to find the answers to these questions:

1) My understanding is that EVRIMA is supposed to replace the current legacy version. Is the dev team still updating legacy or is all work now solely on EVRIMA?

2) How do you download EVRIMA? If you download it, does it place a new icon on desktop so you can easily switch back and forth?

3) I'm tracking that there are currently only two dinos in EVRIMA. Is there an actual roadmap on when more will be added?

Thanks.

All work on EVRIMA.

Right-click on the isle in your library. Click 'properties', then go to betas. Select the only beta available under the drop-down menu; and no, you can't switch back and forth, you have to redownload either version in its entirety when you change branch.

No.

1. Legacy is temporary and will not be updated, likely it will be deleted eventually

2. Cannot say

3. Indeed only two dinosaurs currently. They're talking about a roadmap but have held a no ETA stance so it's kind of pointless. Regarding the speed I wouldn't except anything happening fast here and official promises are best taken with a big pinch of salt

[RexNatura]

Yes, that is also all accurate.

1. Legacy isn't focused and is basically the game before the recode update was available. Its not being developed further.

2. Go right click on The Isle in your library and selct "properties", then click on the tab that says betas and select "evrima"

3. Its only two, utah and tenonto, the roadmap is something I really wouldn't put too much stock into, the game changes plans so often that the devs words aren't gospel somehow.


Honestly you'd be better off playing Legacy
-more mechanics that are relevant
-more dinosaurs
-more players and higher player caps
-internet connections aren't a problem
-group play isn't shafted

From when I played both, there really wasn't any difference.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like I’ll be sticking with legacy version for a while.

Worth buying this game? 5 years old alpha.

Wait for next big patch (more dinos) and then you can buy.

Which could be between now and whenever. The game needs atleast 8 new dinosaurs before it's even on par and even then it needs actual combat mechanics and intelligent AI

I’d say yes. For $20 I’m enjoying myself and never hap problems finding servers with 120+ people.

New roadmap came out but not many playables for a while.

For what it's worth, I would say most of the proposed features in the roadmap settle well with me. Sucho is the notable outlier but I suppose it's fitting that it's in considering the memes from before my time in the community.
