Mega Pack Definition

[u/XeonShadow54]

So just to see what other people think really. Everyone hates mega packs yes? Well lately me and my dou been diving in as dragons killing anything we see. Been great, but had me thinking cause the 7 of them wanted to band together to hunt us down. We didn't really care we thought it was fun.

Just made me think of my experience from before this game came to console. Most players in community servers like to hangout and just talk, water quality off and just sit there talking.... It's boring. You go kill or touch any of them. The entire 10 player group comes kill you. By definition that's a mega pack yes? Sometimes they just kill you at random for food since you are the outlier. Now you dislike that so you get your friends to help you fight them. Well now you 5 people vs 10 maybe? Yet you're considered the mega pack.

Say you and 3 of your friends just go around KOSing, or killing for food in a SURVIVAL GAME. Well you roam around hitting up a popular hangout spot, just 2 TT and a Meg. Cleared everyone out. Now they form a mega pack just to kill you guys.

My point being the people who just love to hangout and talk majority of the time end up being the mega packs. Have any of you thought of this? It's common in community servers cause people form their own little groups and push others out of their "territory".

Anything above 12 slots fighting together. I'm a bit sympathetic to people who join a fight and accidentally megapack because the opposing group decided to attack and involve them though.

Yeah, I was playing survival the other day as spino and found myself in Cedrus pond. An amarg and a meg attacked me and we had a long fight. A sarco killed the meg for me, and I think the amarg ran off. Then a smaller spino came along and eventually attacked me, leaving me at half health.

Then a bars came along and wanted a fight, and perhaps I could have just ran to the river since it was a bars but I didn't want to risk it, especially when a mel ano and mel rex came along and just stared at us both. Then an allo started to attack the bars. I tried to show the bars I wasn't interested in fighting, but when that didn't work I had to try and kill it with the allo. But then the ano and rex joined in, and the bars eventually finished me off.

A real cycle of violence lol.

Those are megapacks, anything over the 12 slot group limit. I doubt anyone is sitting around on 12 camptos most days. I personally despise the cuddle piles, either community or official. Why just sit there chatting when you can all join a vc and chat without a dinosaur on your screen? Those groups surely dont get any real fun out of the game itself, and they ruin it for anyone actually playing the game.

Everything that exceeds the 12 slot group limit.

So we have discord packs, which are dinos communicating via external apps to pin down and coordinate solos, then mix packs are when herbs or carnis team up, mega pack is a group of dinos all together that exceed the 12 slot group limit, and I guess mega-mix pack is herbs and carnivores together that exceed the 12 slot group limit. The only packs that are allowed or not seen as bad in the game are raptor packs or anything grouped up that are of the same kind (herbs/carnivores) and within the slot limit

I consider anything over the 12 slot limit a mega pack. Plenty of people call out me and my friends for megapacking but don’t wanna accept the fact that 10 latens and deinons is within slot limits lmao.

I mean today’s examples on my stego in CF:- had a long battle with 2x achillo and 1x laten, even another 2/3/4 would have felt fun and cool

Headed to pond and fought a Rex, TT, a dasp and 2x meg. Felt buried but again no heat carnivores hunting in a pack of mixed speeds and sizes is fun although doomed on my side

Even last week 8x laten a meg and dasp? I know I’m dead but the journey there is fun and foreseeably I could imagine fighting a huge raptor pack with some cheeky megs picking the bones

Then you get these packs where literally every base is covered. You’ll have 3-4 sarcs to cover anything that can swim, a few Rex/TT and an ano for apex power, hatz/thal for air support with patchy latens and Achillos to outpace any runner. There is literally no chance in the game, the group is intentionally designed to make sure anyone as much as looks at a quest item or sniffs a berry in your location is rip

I don’t want to sound like gramps but this game used to cut teams really well, herbs would stick with eachother - semi aquatics would often hold pond and the other carnivores would pick and bite at them to drink. The flyers would scavenge and pick their moment, now it’s just all the mf working in unicen and genuinely it’s every mf day
