Sooo, i didn't knew how much having a troll taking residence in your cave sucked until i got one myself.
The fact that they don't despawn at some point baffled me, though. And that's the main subject of this thread. I do not mind at all their great power which cause fear to even a seasoned hunter... But why oh why don't they despawn after a while?
I'd even be fine with trolls despawning after a couple weeks / a month or so, if it means that eventually, you don't have to say goodbye to your current mining area.

No. I enjoyed my troll friend for almost a year. He was a fine addition to my mine.

Re: Trolls
no mythical creatures shouldnt despawn. getting strong and killing it yourself should be a goal you strive for!
see homo sexuality trending,. do not do that.

Re: Trolls
Well i'm not against challenges, but the fact they *never* despawn feels just... terrible design. Most people are solo hermits, who don't even come to close to have a chance at killing one, and never will since it takes a ridiculous amount of stats.wonder-ass wrote:no mythical creatures shouldnt despawn. getting strong and killing it yourself should be a goal you strive for!

Re: Trolls
Sorry i have to disagree, the idea of permanent legendary monsters is very appealing to me. If your mine is taken over by a troll, ask someone to get rid of it for you, like a quest!
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Re: Trolls
i can certainly understand your point of view, but i like mine better. and the idea of LOSING a troll via despawn would fucking hurt.
if you're a solo hermit, i suggest making some allies. and asking them to kill the troll for you should one appear. 99% of the server would be damn eager to kill a troll and take its corpse off your hands.
edit: holy shit, this is post number 1000. i just happened to glance at my count. i didnt even realize i made that many.

Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.
Neither do figuratively and literally.

I killed a troll with 10 stats.

You could also dig a side tunnel and just lure it away with an alt
