TSOTF 462.5

• Thylacoleo - Of all the changes, this is the most extreme. Thyla's current kit is incredibly versatile. It has great mobility, can climb, has solid damage, bleed, a situational dismount wears armour, has a solid health pool, and great stamina (especially with TSOTF's general stamina changes -- and this endless jumping sucks (not just with the Thyla)). With all of this in mind, this is where we've taken the creature to find a better place in the meta but not the be-all-end-all. We may not always provide this additional context, but as this is the first *big* change we're making by taking away some functionality, we wanted to shed some insight, and as always, this may not be the last time we visit this creature.

• Tier System
  • Fixed a bug where the Dino Tier system was using the default stats of the creature and multiplying that rather than the TSOTF stats; you will experience some stat changes on some creatures now that this has been fixed. Namely giving more creatures additional stamina.
  • Increased the maximum health bonus of achieving T1 from 175% to 215%. Previously T1 creatures had too little health, enabling them to get crushed when coming head to head with any tier above it or bosses. Whilst they still aren't as strong versus T2 or T3, they will have better defensive capabilities for a cheap investment of tokens/experience. Overall this change aims to:
    • Reduce the gap between T1 and T3 creatures
    • Makes T2 less rewarding overall (driving players to commit to T3)
    • Aim to incentivize having more T1 creatures to help bolster your Dino Army (Dino Armies are outclassed at the moment and we're trying to bring them into a place where they could be considered an option). 
    • Fixed a bug where when leveling up a Dino Tier, it was resetting your current values to the default and then increasing them. This resulted in players sometimes having more or less current health when leveling (max was unaffected). For example, if you had 100 current health left and leveled up, you would be increased to whatever your default tier 0 health was and then have your max increased. Alternatively, if you had 2000 current health and then leveled, you would be decreased to your default and then have your max increased. This fix means it will respect your current health when leveling.
