Toxic playerbase so far in Evirma

[Alexandus]

Got PK'd by a more grown version of my species, whom had just fed on something else - does everyone else seem really kill-on-sight to you guys? Not good experiences so far

[Gloofin]

trust nobody; the #1 rule of the isle.

with the severe lack of things to do, people resort to killing everything possible for fun. can't really blame them.

I totally agree but there are loopholes and tricks to do. But don't thrust anyone. They have certainly a discord chat and there are groups hunting and eating noobs. Beware of raptors group.
I was an adult carno and I had joined a group of raptors and then they turn 10 against me.
I had killed 7 taking protection in shallow water. so they are slowed down and easy killed. but the nasty community have log out to log back using adult crocs

[REDTwitch]

As others said, not much to do so they just kill others for fun. I recommend finding an unofficial server that runs a discord. Some have events and rules. I play on the Zoo because they do random free grows and "events" as well as have a discord. However i still do get PKd.

What server were you on?

[Alexandus]

In non-Evirma Isle same-species was pretty chill with each other. I'm a big pvp fan but no friendly players so far? Even of the same species? Just seems like a grief fest

I'm guessing those who attacked you hated mixpackers, especially with the already overpowered and generally overpopulated Carno, so would certainly want to kill you out of principal for thinking you could just hang around with their kind and label them as mixpackers as well. As for the Dieno, that could have just been other players in the area as you have no way of telling they had alt-accounts with grown Dieno. If they hated mixpackers and that was the reason they attacked you then chances are they wouldn't bother calling in friends on Discord that may have had adult Dieno as that would still be mixpacking.

Alternatively, they could have already wanted to hunt you, but you just assumed they were being friendly for not immediately attacking something that could likely 1-shot them. Perhaps some didn't care about you being there and showed no signs of aggression, but once a few began attacking you pack-mentality kicked in and they joined in on the fight. In short, plenty of reasons to kill you.

Any server that gives out free grows is essentially a battle royal, so that's to be expected given neither you nor them really lose anything from the exchange.

Given the larger roster finding others of your species, unless you were a (bleh)"Apex Main" or other overpopulated dino, was an event worth playing around with. If you were playing on a ruled server there were likely rules in place to prevent same-species hunting as well, which is also a thing in Evrima. These are the likely reasons for your experience IMO, but they're just a guess based on my own experience.

If you want to play the good guy, generally give another player a few minutes to see how they react to some things. If during that time you get a bad feeling or some 'Alarm Bells' like they could be immature or agro in any way, then thats how you can tell 80% of the time. Although I have seen friends turn on each other after 1 hour of gameplay.

that´s pretty regular for 'the isle' and other survival games, too. 90% of all evrima players are simply ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. ask for name or any response in species-local-chat, if u get no response prepare to fight, as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ players dont like to give away their names.

[ghostskills82]

(for reasons of recognition of course - they fear of future-payback and bad reputation).
Even (wannabe-) devs like 'Seiza' act like this and kill their own species, just if they like to, even as a herbie.

ahaha ive done this a couple times when i wanted to be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and attack everything in sight, dont give them your name so when you do wanna group up they cant just call you out and kill you for it 😂

Same thing happens in nature. This game is really great. I play as adult Deino. I kill as many deinos as i can. First, to keep them from killing me, and second, to keep the player base food supply in abundance for myself. This game isn't for woke garbage. If you're sensitive, go play minecraft or something of the likes, where you can chase butterflies and kiss unicorns and have purple hair on your character. Cheers. See you around, in the waters. hehe

The isle's always given players the choice of killing their own kind. I agree with this, bc anything outside a trusted group (a nesting group or random pick up group) should be something you approach with caution.

Ya, if they are the same species as you, you automatically feel a kinship, or connection to them. You relate to them on a basic level. That can lead to random grouping, or nesting. That said, you also need to understand that anything outside a trusted group of players IS a potential threat to you and anyone you're grouped/nested with.

If someone randomly decides to kill group members for w/e reason, I can't help ya there. Just remember them, and never group with them again. A player's name will mark that account. Every time a player does something like that, players remember, and word gets around to the regulars, trust me lol.

You just don't know what the intent of a random player is! Making assumptions is just plain bad. Assuming everyone of the same species should be friendly to you, or assuming everyone is out to kill you. Neither is true all the time lol.

Gauge the moment, watch them. If they near attack range, be rdy. If they assume everyone's friendly, and violate your safe zone? You should be attacking them. If you do not, and they are of the same mind as you and assume everyone of the same species should be friendly...you're just plain lucky is all lol. You'll both get eaten for the wrong reason at some point, to be fair?

The fact is, you're going to run into friendly players looking to group, and others who aren't, or can't (their group may already be full up). Sometimes, players will talk it out in local...

"Sorry man, we're full up." - That's that, and everyone peacefully goes their separate ways. Or, bc there's no real coop play control outside of forming a group, those players may hang and play coop anyways lol.

Or, a player will friendly call you then kill you. Or, invite you into a group then kill you. A player isn't bound to the meaning of those actions.

Running into random players can be tough, I know. Nesting invites will probly be your only real safe option for a while after that mechanic gets added. It's going to promote more grouping, but that will take time.

A safe rule of thumb, at the very least, is to make sure no players enter attack range without you knowing their intent. You and that other person should know better in a survival game when you don't know one another. Kinda like trusting another person in a post-apocalyptic setting, right? lol.

the isle evrima is so far dissapointing, bad optimalization, lack of popular servers that have rules, and yeah toxic community

[Cain]

the only problem is large group persuing the same race i almost stop playing utah because evrey time i find other uthas the run away or are in groups of 4 or 6 and just rush me ... almost the same thing for deimo if im not full grown.

You just gotta find some friends that mutually hate what you do. Get a good ol’ Carno-Purge going with a pack of Pachy or Utahs seeking to give all Stegos death by a thousand cuts!
