I recently had an idea. Path of Titans has a problem with mega packs and too many apexes running around. What they should do is add a territory buffer in each named zone that only allows a certain number of apexes at a given time per slot class.
For example, if there are 6 adult slot 5 carnivores in Great Plains, the apexes would get a general area marker showing the locations of the other adults. They would then have a certain amount of time before a debuff appears that continuously reduces their damage against all other players and critters (excluding the other apexes) until the number of apex carnivores in the area drops back down to the zone requirement.
For GP, let’s say only 3 slot 5 apexes are allowed at a time in that zone.
This system could also apply to every other slot group, giving each zone a healthy population limit to help keep raptor packs, mega packs, and herbivore herds at more reasonable numbers.
This would help push players into different zones, create a territory-control and protection element in the game, and help manage overpopulation overall.
