Fix Trolls

[Onep]

Trolls shouldn't spawn and 1 hit your miner before you even see them.

We considered it, but I figured the forums have been raving on several times about NPCs that need several characters to beat, and figured we'll always have time to revise it afterwards if necessary.

This isn't a fun mechanic. You're not going to bring your whole group down into your mine while you sit and grind away at a wall. You're taking a tedious task, that requires tons of stat grinding, and throwing a insta-death mechanic into it. And the rewards you get for killing the troll aren't jack shit compared to the miner you lost before you even saw the troll appear.

And before you say "use a main" you're not going to be mining l5 with a character who has diverse stats unless you've been grinding nothing but pure salt on one character.

itd be funny if the troll gives you a 2-3 second head start and says something like "YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CANT HIDE" or some roleplay shit before it starts chasing you

as much as I like trolls I have to agree that certain death is not a fun mechanic, you should at least be given a fighting chance

[jordancoles]

Do they still bug out and cavein on you even though you're fighting them face to face?

[Thedrah]

what if you unmine a troll that is petrified and you get like 5second headstart?

Thats just a big, "Fuck you" Loftar wrote.

seriously, just have trolls spawn a ways away and have them wander about at a WALKING speed, only switching to running speed when they aggro you. giving you time to get the hell out of dodge.

people still kill them with 1mm alts by bugging them

Probably.
