Bosses

Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 11:54 am

Alright. The boss system right now is lacking. I have a bank of bosses. I can remove the heart gem drops on them that is no big deal. But should the bosses that we have that arent in be put in? For drops i was thinking dmg stones. big ones. rare and physical. As far as i can tell so far none of the bosses drop dmg stones currently. If they do id assume its a random drop.

So yes or no.

how about we do what i suggested in the DM forum on bosses awhile ago

1. static bosses - any lvl spawn - dmg stones

2. high spawn random bosses (1/100- 1/250 spawn rate) - specific lvl - heart gems/ spell figurines (like one at kewpie shop)

3. Med Spawn random bosses ( 1/300 or 400 spawn rate) - any lvl spawn - boss drop weapon med (ie svivs hammer, Eittin poision spear or exotic dmg/onhit)

4. High Spawn random bosses (1/500 -1/1000)- Specific lvl - High boss drop weapons (ie Alb, Slaad Gloves or +6 weapons)

Also how bout a larger variety of Weapons drops ( can be class specific )
Cross Bow
Short Sword
Sickle
Trident
Longsword
Druid/Sorc/Cleric Staff
Sling

i like those idea's except those heart gems.. they shouldnt be put in

i love that boss idea. I had fully intended to use it actually. But for the heart gems only a few would go in the rest would be spell figurines. and with those they wouldnt be huge ones...(these arent supposed to be amazing) but they would have unlimited uses. The ones in kewpie store are nice but ive had requests for some unlimited use ones and this is a perfect way to do it. So what couple heart gems were actually worth it and liked.

also vendetta can you hit me up on one of the following so we can discuss which boss belongs in which category?

Yahoo = SeraphimDex1DEV
msn = xeno@live.com

those are the only useful ones really i could do aim but i dont like to use it for dev related lol.

also for those of you that read into my last post wrong. I have brought this drop system up a couple times it passed dm and dev level and no one realy had an issue with it community wise. 1 or 2 people might have. thats why i intended to use it.

Newb friendly boss system ftw? Anyone?

that boss system isnt bad at all. It makes dmg stones more prominent...the random drop is really low and i cant find the script for it.....im looking. Some of the bosses we have now dont work. Many need to be added. Some of the bosses currently also are impossible to spawn while others are to easy to spawn with good drops on them. So if the vote passes it goes in. Ive had multiple people come up to me in game and say that bosses need work.

Why are we pushing for a DeX full of farmers and twinks?!?

I'm not sure if I like the whole heart gem/tear drop idea. Those things were pretty lame on Lysol-deX, so don't go crazy Razz

Other than that, I like the ideas. But don't make bosses TOO hard to spawn.

There should be no heart gems whatsoever. There's UMD and scrolls for a reason. Even something as simple as a TS or II heart gem can make a chunky imbalance between those who can spend the hours farming them and those who can't/really-don't-want-do-because-it's-a-fricken-PvP-server

Lets make something Clear here can we ?
1.) when we say heart gems we are talking about some spells that can be used 1/day there is not the boss trade item
2.) the spells that would be availible for use would be the same spells that you can get from skeebawls.

so if you didnt know that for 1 kewpie you can get a figurine with 50 charges of ii/ ts along with greater spell mantle !!

has that made such a difference in the game play ? i dont think so

3. people should be rewarded for spending hours of time farming. if you read the suggestions heart gems/ figurines would be a high lvl spawn mean 1/100-200. So if you cant spend 15min of your time to spawn this u dont deserve Shat in the first place.

4. if there is gonna be that much crying then we can just add figurines instead of heart gems, meaning more farming so u can get 10 figurines of 50 charges of ii 2 hours rather then spend 15mins and get 1/day useage
