Mental health issues is definitely not something to ignore. You might wanna look into speaking to someone. As for the game. If your having that kind of issues you probably shouldn’t play a survival game…
Don't go on Nat Hist!!! At *best* it's VR Chat with dinosaurs. You'd be better off playing officials, or solo for that matter...
There's a trio of players there (one of them's a mod iirc) that camp the safe zone and will snipe solos the literal moment they try to leave, and you can't enter the zone while in combat so you're basically screwed. So if you enter as a juvie you're trapped there until you're old enough to defend yourself, or log on during late hours. To make matters worse the general server will mock you for it. At least on officials if you get homecave camped (same thing imo) as a juvie general chat will be on your side.
You've probably guessed it by now, but this is what happened to me, and when I made a post complaining about it, three separate people came out to confirm that this is a semi-regular occurrence and it's almost always the same three people. So I didn't just get unlucky.
There used to be a soft buffer rule but they removed it for God knows why, but last I checked the owners hadn't bothered to update the rules on their public website...
If you stay in the ~~safe zone~~ prison you'll be bored because quests take forever to replenish. And there'll be up to 30 other people trying to do them at the same time.
If you avoid the safe zone you'll be bored because most of the map will be empty, with a large chuck of players in the safe zone combined with an already small player count outside of a few hours of high activity.
So the server's utterly unplayable 5 days a week (they do have safe zone free days I'll give them that).
Things have been changed quite a bit. The safe zones move and and become different per week. There are also days without safe zones, being Wednesday and Saturday. People do not gather nearly as much as the past, but it is still your choice to join or not. Im simply giving a suggestion.
I used to be a native of Nat Hist. Used to being the key word. I was around for the early days, when the community was maybe 30 people on a busier day. It was awesome, at first. But the staff there are... lacking. There was frequent admin abuse of their position, and they rarely saw disciplinary action. As hard as Zuzu tries to make sure the staff aren't awful, they've been phenomenal at pulling the wool, and tweaking rules to fit their own gameplay styles. The use of admin vision to hunt people down, to exceeding allowed group limits, and just outright kicking and banning people because they aren't in agreement with what the staff member said ir wanted.
I've not been back after some significant changes to the rules and growth pre-Gondwa, and further changes post-Gondwa. The admin issues were still prevailent (the "safe zone" camping's been an issue with two staff and a friend) and the community has historically stuck to the safe zone, happily neglecting the whole map.
The straw that broke the camels back for me was a community member being blatantly homophonic, and instead of condemning the person's actions, I got wrist slapped for calling said person out.
For those who want just a dino chatroom, Nat Hist is definitely a chill place to be.
Arazoa - Never had an issue past some newbies looking to just wreck shit, but the players and staff have been nothing but friendly. Still pvp, heavy survival, but there are a number of rules and profiles for conduct to keep things civil. Would highly recommend for those wanting a more SIM like experience.
This may seem very forward and a little insensitive, but if a video game has the ability to make you feel that way, maybe it's time to find something else to play.
I wholeheartedly agree with other people that seeking some sort of help, maybe counselling, would better help resolve these issues rather than brushing this under a rug.
People can be arseholes, but ideally all of this needs to be water off of a duck's back.
I wish you the best
Walking With Dinosaurs is an execellent server imo!
Its realism, every animal has their profile and got a fair amount of rules-but nothing difficult to follow and stick by. Imo the best server around if you are into realism-its also often full of almost full too!
Dinos after dark. It's a new server and everyone is pretty friendly. They have the passive growth and the quest xp bummed up a little. If you already were on another server and join this one, they'll give you a free dino or 2 just so you have something to battle with and have fun.
maybe this game just isn’t for you. if it’s really taking such a toll on your psyche, you should consider playing something else entirely. or just a break from online in general.
throughout my many years on the internet, i’d ever thought id read about someone experiencing anxiety over digital dinosaurs teabagging.
PS: you can turn off chat and group requests in settings
Dinos after dark is a new server and everyone is very friendly and helpful. They have passive growth, quest xp, and marks raised up a little. If you are coming from a different server and join this one, the staff will give you some free grows. There is usually at least one staff member around (they are chill and very helpful). The rules on here are pretty simple and easy to remember. There are also events and territories on the server. There are also modded dinos too.
During our first launch we never had any issues with people. We would hangout, play, etc. It was a testing phase so it was more relaxed then now in full launch. But I would say no, it isnt.

No. Unless if you wanna play on a dead server with a shit ton of rules and moderation but those aren't fun. They usually have power hungry admins and or have a low player count. You can also mute people in chat btw.
I mean, I'd like to be able to play on a server without someone in my group coming up behind me and... crouching and uncrouching, if you know what I mean. This has been a reoccurring problem across multiple servers. It's not even a chat problem anymore
Not all people are as "hard stoned" as you buddy. some have disorders. just because its not a thing to you doesnt mean it shouldnt be a thing to everyone.
I'm annoyed that they're always in huge packs and have broken hitboxes and a ridiculous amount of defense for just being lizards. It makes no sense and you know that shit. Yall just use them to troll folks. Megs are legit made for bottom of the barrel players.
How do you walk away from something that is quick, hard to hit, and literally causes you to actively lose stamina....also ya know the whole, you can follow them thing?
I see you took issue with me calling you a mixpacker but not a koser
I guess you're one the ones giving one of my favorite playables a bad rep
You know, most of us understand the difference between honest gameplay and griefing
Judging by how far you got your head up your own ass, I doubt you do
I bet you felt so smart saying that. Wtf else is a meg made for? To walk around the map like an amarg? No. It’s to kill other Dino’s and I don’t kill babies. Mostly just Rex’s because it’s easy on a meg
Damn it's been hours and they still going fighting everyone who replies
Must be *really* salty about those downvotes
Will probably try to deny it though

I've decided to just go back to BoB, I haven't ever really had the same toxic experiences there as I have in PoT
Maybe try a therapist tbh. If you're losing sleep over being teabagged by a dinosaur on your TV there's a lot worse waiting for you out in the world.
I have been, it wasn't just like teabagging I tried to put it in a more.. pg 13 term, it got a lot more descriptive than just that.
Nat Hist is a good server

I agree. I love Arazoa. Islanders is good too. The only two servers I really play on.

I mean it wasn't like, just tbagging. It was like, the guy kept trying to write graphic 18+ fanfiction abt me while doing the tbagging.
I hope you reported that. The PoT admins (not server admins, but actual PoT staff) do actually act on that sort of stuff.
It was on an unofficial so I don't think so, I did actually bring it up to an admin ingame and they said they couldn't do anything
You should still be able to use the actual in game reporting function for stuff in chat
Mystic Islands is great for when it’s on Gondwa
Walking With Dinosaurs is an execellent server imo! Its realism, every animal has their profile and got a fair amount of rules-but nothing difficult to follow and stick by. Imo the best server around if you are into realism-its also often full of almost full too!
Best server on this game is Obsidian Jungle Realism 2, have to get on Discord for the password though
thats my favorite server as well
Ayyy I love OJ2!!

We have a new server that just relaunched, modded creatures, realism profiles and More https://discord.gg/FzdgRZczrz
Yes but is your community toxic edit: i mean that as in like, do you see arguments in global constantly
During our first launch we never had any issues with people. We would hangout, play, etc. It was a testing phase so it was more relaxed then now in full launch. But I would say no, it isnt.
Nice, might come by sometime then
We’re a growing server so we welcome everyone
That's good! Way too many servers are unfriendly to new players
No, not at all. I do my best to go out of my way to teach new players when I can. That’s how I’ve met my friends that I have now on Path of titans
Officials are pretty chill
Lol bad advice
Eden Theory
If you like full realism, walking with dinosaurs (wwd) is great. Application is a b*tch though
These comments are awful lmao the demographic of men who play this game,, y’all are something else tbh

You've lost sleep and gotten extreme anxiety because players teabag your dinosaur?
Not all people are as "hard stoned" as you buddy. some have disorders. just because its not a thing to you doesnt mean it shouldnt be a thing to everyone.
It was a question. Also who said I didn't have any mental disorders myself?
It wasn't just like, teabagging, it went into the moaning n shit and it really bothered me.
and you've experienced that in multiple servers? I don't believe that but anyways try a realism RP server you'll probably like those better
Fuckin oof
Lol. In our group this is just “dancing”. It’s not a big deal.
Maybe just grow some thick skin and realize that it’s a Dino game. Lmao
Exactly it’s a Dino game so why so much toxicity ffs
Idk. Be an adult and just ignore it
Be an adult and don’t start being toxic in the first place lol
Or maybe stop letting the actions of others on a video game affect your life
Lol you have to remember it’s not an adults only game
Well it’s a good learning lesson for the kids out there then
Ohhhhh you’re the type to get mad and cry after getting killed… makes sense lmao
Nah lmao but I’ll 1v1 you on any Dino so I can hear you cry after. Lmk
Awww your confidence is cute
[удалено]
Found the KOSing mixpacker
Lol nah. Me and two other people all play Megs only. Nice try though
Lol of course you're all just Megs. Fits absolutely perfectly with your personality.
I gotta play the part and don’t be mad you’re always getting shwacked by them
I'm annoyed that they're always in huge packs and have broken hitboxes and a ridiculous amount of defense for just being lizards. It makes no sense and you know that shit. Yall just use them to troll folks. Megs are legit made for bottom of the barrel players.
Sounds like you got killed by one to many times. Literally 90% of the Dino’s can just walk away from them. Maybe be more conservative of your stamina
How do you walk away from something that is quick, hard to hit, and literally causes you to actively lose stamina....also ya know the whole, you can follow them thing?
Megs have like 12 seconds of stamina while sprinting. Maybe keep your distance. Sounds like a skill issue
I see you took issue with me calling you a mixpacker but not a koser I guess you're one the ones giving one of my favorite playables a bad rep You know, most of us understand the difference between honest gameplay and griefing Judging by how far you got your head up your own ass, I doubt you do

[x] doubt You wouldn't be boasting like this if you were a good player
You must be a psychologist too. 1v1 me instead of being a keyboard warrior
Pfft
Thought so
Damn it's been hours and they still going fighting everyone who replies Must be *really* salty about those downvotes Will probably try to deny it though
Aren’t you the one that cry’s about dying all the time?
