Add a beast that can not be killed

Post by shubla »

There should be animals that hearthlings simply cannot beat. Some so strong creatures that killing them would be nearly impossible!

Just a thought.

What's the point in that then? So you can grief and try bringing it to someone's place and just leave it there?

Well, point is that you have to avoid it. Maybe make the tree guy running around the forest attack you?

Jorb has mused about dragons before. I'm not sure he was thinking Smaug level of impervious hide (or Tiamat, Destroyer of Worlds level destructive), but I'm sure they'd be way more dangerous than trolls.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

I still think it would be a better solution to make characters unable to reach levels that they can solo everything (even if that would annoy the ones that are used to reaching four of five digit numbers in their character sheet).

Or then just add megabeasts that have like 10 000 hitpoints and deal thousands of dmg?

Exploiters still would kill it day 1 and get the epic loots.

Make it so it can not be exploited, or just make it not drop loot, so there would be no point in klling it.
