Gigas does not spawn in the forest, they spawn on open areas as I have marked on the map that I have provided in the pinned post. Usually they end up that way if they chase some dinos. Trees are fine in my opinion.

THis is happeneing far to often for them not to be spawning there, and how can you say its fine when its so dense you cannot see anything at all and the dinos that are spawning there dont even have room to move without hitting trees.

Yes I know that its hard to go with a rex through the forests but when you run around with a saber or smaller dino than a rex than you have no problem at all. That's why there's always like a small paths around those forests. Thats why we all love Valhalla because of the forest ...

interesting, its the biggest complaint from my server and some say it didnt use to be this bad : /
I was also talking about normal dinos and I cant even see anything on foot, let alone on a dino lol

The forest canopy is so dense you can not see anything from the air. You have to be on ground, and then you can't see anything in the sky. Prior to this last major patch, the flora wasn't so.... heavy, at least not everywhere.

While Valhalla is my favorite map of all, the recent forest and flora changes have made my gameplay overall a bit less enjoyable. It's still the best map overall, and I remember people complaining about bare patches, but as a fan of the mod I feel like it went from one extreme to the other.

I think the forest density is just right. Ever been to a real forest? Well, you can't see sh*t..
Of course, we need to adapt to the flora changes first. I got lost on my mountain several times since they put a forest there, but that's the fun of it! One thing I hate about the Island, besides it being too small for more than 10 players active, is that there is no real forest. Only the swamp is really dense there.

this is ridiculous, can we please get a response I have lost two DIFFERENT dinos to two DIFFERENT forest gigas today alone. You cannot see them in the forests and they are there way too often to not be spawning there and if they arent there is another issue. I am going to post this on annunaki as well in case its their issue.

I actually kind of like it. You're in a forest in a land full of dangerous dinosaurs... there should be some risk involved.

not in the way of something thats foot couldnt fint between the tree let alone its whole body

too many trees equals too much demand on the server and cpu and gpu to process the images. our server is getting hammered and the fps has dropped across the board because fo ram usage. Just too much trees all over the place. it was fine before. my computer is actually really powerfull and it still takes a dump in the dense trees and flying around over them. My video cards cost more than most peoples entire systems.

I actually enjoy the dense forests and brush, more realistic. And I'm not experiencing any drop in fps... good job on the mesh details btw !

>.< how on earth are giant creature in dense forests realistic? I can see them fitting into the redwoods and the snow trees but they spawn and are all over. They do not break down the trees they just lie in wait, hidden.

i love valhalla but i dont understand the last patch with all the "new trees on the hills".
its so hard now to find alphas because all you see are trees...
you cant farm well with quetz/anky on the hills because of the trees...
it makes nonsense for me to fly on a hill to scout with a spyglas because of the new trees...

iam very happy about your patches on valhalla but the "new trees on the hills" are absolutly nonsense in my opinion.

I agree, way way way too many trees as of last couple patches. Also what happened to most of the beaches? Many of them has just be turned to grassland.

I feel the Trees are just fine. It makes it so if you want to see the sky you fly and if you want to see the ground walk. It makes if FAR more dynamic
