addedIn preparation for Update #4, we're deploying a smaller patch ahead of the main update to combat a variety of issues that were present in the previous version of EVRIMA. This patch also includes a plethora of quality of life & balance changes that we'd love to gather community feedback on, that way the upcoming stress test for Update #4 can be predominantly focused on testing the new systems like Diets & Fractures.
changedHere's a brief overview of the main balance changes:
changedGlobal health/blood rework. Health now matches character weight, which will hopefully make character stats feel less artificially inflated.
changedGlobal damage changes. Damage was adjusted to better match the health changes. We've also put a large focus on making the smaller dinosaurs/juveniles feel much more fragile compared to their adult counter parts. Special attacks have been made much more crucial in combat, as basic attacks such as bites have been nerfed across the board.
changedGlobal speed nerf. Most characters have been slowed down by 10% of their previous speed to mitigate speed creep. Some animals were being pushed to their absolute limit with their speeds, resulting in animations looking bad visually and forcing smaller characters to be increased in speed unnecessarily as well. This was also done to encourage the use of special abilities, rather than just running and biting wildly.
changedLocational damage adjustments to prevent people from being bitten on the head through their entire body.

Here's a brief overview of the main balance changes:

  • Global health/blood rework. Health now matches character weight, which will hopefully make character stats feel less artificially inflated.

  • Global damage changes. Damage was adjusted to better match the health changes. We've also put a large focus on making the smaller dinosaurs/juveniles feel much more fragile compared to their adult counter parts. Special attacks have been made much more crucial in combat, as basic attacks such as bites have been nerfed across the board.

  • Global speed nerf. Most characters have been slowed down by 10% of their previous speed to mitigate speed creep. Some animals were being pushed to their absolute limit with their speeds, resulting in animations looking bad visually and forcing smaller characters to be increased in speed unnecessarily as well. This was also done to encourage the use of special abilities, rather than just running and biting wildly.

  • Locational damage adjustments to prevent people from being bitten on the head through their entire body.

  • Corpses now give an amount of food more accurate to the size of the creature. They do, however, take longer to eat. This change was made to encourage more contesting over bodies rather than just being able to eat them quickly and leave with no real sense of danger. Drinking time remains the same but if you want to see this change for water too then be sure to let us know!

  • Pounce rework. Mechanic has been further adjusted to be utilised as an attritional tool, rather than a killing tool. Dismount now launches the player further to somewhat prevent pouncers from instantly being hit after releasing.
