New ways 2 die 4 u!!1! (New monsters - Feedback please)


  • Thanks to Coaan and Baboo, Peltarch hunting areas have a lot of fun new monsters for you all to die to. We need feedback on danger, xp and thoughts in general. (Do not worry, the idea is that they are an improvement… we hope)

    There are new giants, new ogers, new Polarbears and a little surprise that is just the most evil (and adorable) thing I have ever seen. ^^

    So make a nice party and go adventuring and exploring in to the Giantspire.

    And if anybody come back alive, please post here in this thread your thoughts.

  • first time there gave me a good start when I saw the penguins for the first time but I felt really sad seeing a dead one on it's side

  • V

    Heh… here I thought the penguins are a bit easy... but that's only true if you fight them one at a time... drop a group on a party and you'll even see your neighborhood level 13 tank run around in circles scared by the little mystery monsters 🙂


  • Polar bears without cold damage auras make them less annoying, but still just as scary physically. The penguins are a huge series of "aww, that's so cute…. WHY IS IT KICKING MY BUTT!??!" The challenge is just right for a mid-level party. I love the new beach.

    I've tried them out a few times in the last week. They're not too tough for a level 10+, but then the xp isn't substantial.

    I'm happy with them now. I wouldn't want the beach turned into a serious roadblock again, since it's the only way to get to ogres and giants right now.


  • I think knockdown should be implemented for polar bears or perhaps disarm for the penguins. Feels much more of a threat then.


  • For purposes of RP I went through the motions of skinning two of them.

    But I was with a good group who made sure that the poor old man was well protected.


  • Coincidentally wandered out there the other day on a hunting trip (hadn't been out there in months). I hadn't read this post so imagine my surprise when the little "mystery monster" came running up - :lol:

    Anyway, my whole reason for going there was to get some bear skins, but I didn't stay long. Once I realized the new bears couldn't be skinned, I turned around and went home.

    FYI - No exp. for a level 12.

    P.S. I think the bears should be skinable.

  • S

    I've always said the xp on the polar bears should be upped - but they are getting other changes soon anyway.

    Bugbears aren't even worth discussing as a spawn.


  • Personally, I feel the Penguins give as much xp as polar bears which is too much.

    I got roughly around 12xp in a group that consists of 11(2), 10(2) and 6. The bugbears are far more dangerous which doesn't even give xps or even as much at all.


  • Party of 3 - (12,8,7) vs polar bear
    L12 get 17xp, L8 gets 38 xp for kill.

    Bears hit hard, routinely for 10-15 with crit for 33. Cold aura bites.
    Low sight range, easy to sneak round or avoid.

    Mystery monster - fast, vicious and cute!

    Challenge is good, need management or ludicrous hp to tank them reliably. Fun! 🙂


  • Hm, the giants and ogers are not spawning yet it seem, but should be soon after we have done some more experimenting, (on you). But until then enjoy the new (Cute so cute ^^) and evil mystery monsters and polarbears.

    And give feedback here.

    One warning, they are meant for a mid to high level party.

    😉
