Dinosaurs Indominous Rex should socialise with Velociraptors

[zelklen]

Your Feature Request / Idea
In the movie, the Indominous Rex socialises with raptors, however in game it interacts with raptors the same way every large carnivore interacts with them.
The Indominous Rex's Social Group Size should be Solitary + 0-6. Raptors should not panic due to the Indominous Rex, and should instead actually socialise with it, as they do with each other.
The Velociraptor Social Group Size should be 0-6 + 1.

P.S.
It would be awesome if they all slept together in a group. Adorable little critters.

I'm really surprised that more people aren't interested in this idea. It clearly isn't the greatest idea, compared to things like day/night cycle with sleeping, and herding behaviors with pack hunting. But it is incredibly easy to implement, and I feel it would make the Indominous way more fun to have in your park.

I thought the same thing! They should be able to socialize!

As much as I think the mechanic is missing in the game, I have to disagree.
To me, in the movie, they are communicating, not socializing. They are not meant to be getting well along.

Perhaps their confrontation animations can be made unique, including communication ended with roaring but they shouldn’t be considered as social buddies. I will not vote on this one.

I agree.

I can see your distinction, between socializing and simply communicating. I still think that they do 'get along' though, because the raptors and the indominous talk it over, and the raptors all join up with the indominous (at least initially).

In game, raptors some times socialize with each other, and they some times fight with each other. I would be thrilled if the indominous could do those same interactions with raptors. Sometimes socializing (talking) and sometimes fighting (what they already currently have in game).

With the changes coming to allow the Indominous Rex to camouflage, I wanted to revisit this thread (and also people people are making new threads about the exact same thing).

With the current mechanics in the game, I see no down site to the Velociraptors treating the Indominous Rex as if it was a Velociraptor itself. So the Indominous Rex would basically always be the group leader. The reason that there is no down side to this, is because I already have the Indominious Rex in the pen with the Velociraptors. They currently never hurt each other. The changes would just (in some ways, as others have pointed out. Though I do disagree with them) match the movie better. Since they at the very least worked together, but in my opinion they formed a pack together.

Since after the scene I linked in my previous post, they then moved to the center of the theme park together as a group. Which extends beyond the Indominous Rex simply using the Velociraptors momentarily in order to kill the humans.

And now they could sleep together! They would be such an incredibly adorable little-massive ball of death!
