What is the migration system?

[Rhibirr]

It was mentioned in the new vlog but kinda side notish as if folks know about that. I don't have or want discord. Is anyone who might know a little more willing to enlighten this random silly on what a migration system would bring?

It most likely is referring to the AI, There willl be brachiosaurus and styros and other herbivores that will travel around in large numbers I presume and migrate from zone to zone.
Would be cool if they allowed Users to join the herd and get a health and damage reduction buff while near the heard

So players follow them to help newbies learn where stuff is? That would be pretty cool. It's weird that the examples you mentioned aren't creatures that are in the game though.

I went to the developers website and saw all the lists of dinosaurs they're going to be added, and the ones that are AI are heard Dinos like the Brachiosaurus and stuff. So most likely there will be a little loop where Predators show up to take them down, and Humans to take down the Predators and Herbivores.

From what I know/understood from what the devs said about migrations:
Herbivore players will have rotating diets that will (apparently) randomly change from time to time (Species specific tho, so all Dryos would have the same diet at any given point. Say, all Dryos now want to eat Pumpkins instead of Agave for their proteins). That would make players move more through the maps and, since carnivores need herbivores to survive, they should follow, creating a less streamlined experience.

Tbh that's not how it will work. Herbies will move and carnos will camp known travel paths. Moving around for carnos is a risky process with little reward as camping spots and killing other carnos who want your local will keep you fed.

That doesn't sound to unrealistic honestly. But they'll still have to swap territorys sometimes. Because if known travel paths are ambushed too often then herbivores will stop using them and make new ones.
