Do you stand and fight or Run in Fear?

[beater1771]

First: This is about adding Dragons to the world of Haven.
Second : This is not like any other post about dragons. This will strike Fear into all Havenites.

The Basics:
1) the Dragon Flies: (I know 2d world ya ya ya.) Simulated Flight then. The dragon has no hit-box. it moves through all objects."flight" it crosses rivers, cliffs, and yes walls.
2) It travels at speed 3. in 1000 tile long paths.
3) It cannot be targeted by sword or fist.
4) Armor class of 1000/0
5) Hit points 5000
6) Self healing.....say, like deer.
7) Every 30 seconds it spits a 1000 pt fireball at targets in range.
-Range: "sight" Prioritizing 1-players, 2-Tame animals (a dragons got to eat right?), 3-Defensive structures, 4-....whatever houses....or just random....but players first.
8) the dragon would be a persistent NPC kind of creature. no Despawning when out of player range.
9) Only 1 dragon in existence anywhere in the world at any given time. It just continues to travel bombing stuff till killed.
- This means there is no player based method of "farming" dragons.
- Say 1 spawn per month. even if 1 is killed after 4 days. ya just got to wait
10) the reward: simply the body.Bones, scales,hide,maybe blood,skull.......what ever but should be worth more than a LVL 5 troll. and of course bragging rights.
- Thinking along the lines of 10+ players to take one down.

-Doesn't want his stupid idea locked
-Makes this title
You aren't very bright, are you?

No thank you. A monster that can only be affected by ranged attack and kill players tamed animals and burns buildings... It is one thing to have a challenge but to kill off the player base with an idea like this is just absurd.

Even large factions don't always have a lot of people on at one time. To have this rampage through their village even with skype calls to get more people on to help would create serious damage and upset a lot of people. If you thought complaints from new people making mistakes were bad wait till you hear from all the high end crafter's who would be dead because of this or months of carefully raising quality ruined in one stroke.

It's a very bad idea and the moderators were quite right to lock the original post.

Now see nooby93 the right way to counter:

2 points:
1) It would always be moving in very long straight lines. not hovering over a village
2) a slow enough "recharge" for its fireball would basically mean 1 maybe 2 shots over a village and its gone.

Not:

Edit: thought of something else. SURVIVAL is the name of the game right...
and what "high end player" can take a single 1000 point hit?

[NOOBY93]

I wasn't trying to "counter" anything. I think this idea is stupid and has no potential, so why even discuss it? I was just saying that, the title you made was making fun of mods and it's not a good idea if you're not planning to get your thread locked.

[beater1771]

so what your saying is your post had absolutely nothing of value to add in a critiques and idea thread, about the idea resented.

you just wanted to make fun of someone.....

[Killface]

No. None of that. It's a stupid idea and you mistook it for a great one. SO great it needed to be posted twice.

[DrakenRahl]

LMAO
My first vision of this was noobs running for a cave hole as the dragon flow by....lol

Not sure I agree with it either....don't think we need yet anouther thing to kill us.

But it would be funny as hell watching it smash people villages.
