DC stat loss problem?

When you disconnect from a server or get kicked, you can't get tomed in again, since you haven't "spawned" yet.

Fair point. Should be possible. Will have to discuss internally RE: Nordic Giants as new enemy type? - oracolus - 20-01-2019 (19-01-2019, 09:04 PM)Pavel Wrote: Just a thought on the matter: Actual giants would be extremely easy targets for archers/ranged, so they would have to be extremely tough to pose any threat to players, which would in turn make them a real pain for melee troops to deal with. It's something the developers of 'The last days of the third age' are trying to deal with right now actually - trolls in that mod recently went from being laughably easy to kill to almost invincible (ruining the whole game experience for some players). I´ve thought about that potential loophole in the design. Perhaps replacing the Militia with an Archer tier, a Giant Slinger or thrower mayhap? or at the very least give them some strong headgear or broad shields to keep them from being one-shoted. The giants are supposed to be the enemy that takes full priority as a threat. |
