#MyModMyRules

Ok so I have been getting a lot of comments about balancing my dinos. balancing my weapons ect. well im taking a stand I created this mod to be mainly for PVE servers of course you can use this on PVP or PVPVE but your gonna have some OP stuff involved. I made this mod because I found PVP annoying full of trolls. The PVE community was much more welcoming to me as a new player. I saw that in PVE servers you saw a lot more people going out to have fun in tames and boss fights. PVP focuses mainly on one tribe doing stuff to annoy another tribe other tribe retaliates everybody loses everything. In my mod you need to tame specific dinos to combat bosses with that is the point. Vanilla creatures are extremely weak so there is really no point in using them to battle a boss with. yet if you get a xenon enforcer or something you have a chance. I am happy with how my dinos balance as a challenge. I only will nerf my dinos if they are to OP in my testing. people need to remember when broadcasters and others challge my dinos they send armies i will not watch my dinos fail just to balance them for PVP.

My Dinos are designed to be a challenge of strategy.

The day someone pays $10,000 for My Mod is the day They will be able to tell me how to make my mod.

Well said, And I'm proud of you. PVE really is the place for mods anyway. You don't need mods to kill each other.

Considering your dinos vs weapons and stuff, the way you're doing is fine. If people are having that much issues with the "balancing" I use that in quotes because balancing usually boils down to personal preference, there is no universal acceptance of balance. Anyways, if people are having that much issue they can add other mods to get the "balance" they want. None of us are here to please everyone, especially not you.

I agree as well. As a single player I am enjoying this mod so far and I have spent some time in the Mod Dev Kit myself and even though I am still a noob at it I at least have a understanding on what it takes to make a mod like this. As for balance you will always be in a losing postion when it comes to balance since there are many ways I can change your dino power within my own INI files so trying to fix to everyones since of balance is a complete waste of time since everyone is going to have different opinons on what is overpowered and underpowered.

At first thought looking at health on a lvl 24 ptero was omg this thing is massive. then i came across a blue direwolf with a tophat and nearly lost my poor little aurora that i struggled to get at lvl 20. Naked, sunburnt, and thirsty in a desert with nothing but a bola and a boomerang is tough work! I think its fine considering the mobs you need to go up against.
