My point was: am I (or, within a reasonable timespan, will I be) able to have a miner build that can survive a troll - or - shall I see miners as disposable since they'll die the moment they uncover a troll and make an alt for mining (which I hate, but I see no point in aiming to kill my main) ?nytro wrote:Toads won't help anymore since animals can apparently attack and kill small creatures in their way. In terms of stats needed, probably dependent on the level the troll spawns, but for now it would be best to stick to archery until higher quality armor appears to really start testing with trolls.Granger wrote:So a troll instantly attacks, und kills in case you lose the fight.
What stats does one need to be able to win?
And what was it about the toads?

Why should you avoid players near salt sources? Because they're SALTY.

They certainly become stronger the further down you come, but they're not exactly harmless on level 1 either.Clemence wrote:Well, if I find a troll in lvl1, should I expect a baby troll or a full power one ?

Re: Game Development: Colorful Troll
level refers to the mining level in this instance, ground level has caves to level 1 of mines. build a mining hole on level 1 to get to level 2 and so on. the deepest level is 5

Re: Game Development: Colorful Troll
Maybe L1-L2 trolls should be between deer/boar and lynx, then deeper mines should get stronger but as there's too few information is given I doubt that is going to be a good idea.
But - as Granger said - it would be a shame if current miners would have to risk getting killed by a troll which instantly attacks and the miner probably had to be fully armoured and armed in case he would get attacked by a troll just to survive. Trolls IMO kinda discourage people from mining with mains and further push the issue with slave alts.
Sure, I like the challenge but either make them spawn randomly or give time to react when they'll spawn.

Yeah, losing a character like that is BS. Please don't force us to use even more alts, devs.

Re: Game Development: Colorful Troll
Even L1 trolls should be stronger than bears. What we need is time for reaction. It's impossible to even throw up defences with the retarded cooldown at the start of fight, which animals don't have, so they can instatly smash your face.CWorm wrote:Maybe L1-L2 trolls should be between deer/boar and lynx, then deeper mines should get stronger but as there's too few information is given I doubt that is going to be a good idea.

Re: Game Development: Colorful Troll
just dont be so bad xD
There was a wise soviet conscript that was surrounded by the enemy on the battle of Stalingrad. A mortar shot teared his pants apart causing a big hole in his pants right on his right butt cheek. He felt a glorious cold ass breeze of wind on his butt cheek, like it would be sent by stalin himself, he said - hide your butts

Atleast L1 trolls should be around boar/deer.
