    Alright, I got that out of my system. Sorry  :D

    I love MTG's artwork.

    Perfect World and Cryptic better not mess up the MTG MMO.

    I like Runescape.

    Lol, I can see that you do.

    I'm quite interested in the MtG MMO too. I always like the concept of the different planes. I think the card game is dying a slow death to more dynamic electronic CCGs.

    Aye, it'll be difficult for RL TCGs to compete against the digital world. MTG hasn't been sitting around idly though. The MTG games on Steam are a decent start but they do have a ways to go before recovering from the recent storm of CCGs like Hearthstone and the ESO card game. I won't even start on all the Asian CCGs out there. 

    Anyway, I digress. This warrants further discussion in the off topic section once they make it lol.

    Mobs that have behaviours, reacting to the envoronment and the activities of the players around them.

    Below are some random ideas for mobs from other games and just inspiration:
    1. group mobs that herd, graze, attack en mass or flee en mass
    2. mobs that deplete in areas if too much pve and replenish over time
    3. mobs that interact with other mobs ie predator, prey
    4. mobs that remember you if you were unsuccessful at killing them last time
    5. mobs with lairs
    6. mobs that may be above you in tall forested areas bringing three dimensions into play
    7. waves of mobs guarding choke points in paths that become a true achievement to pass through, never on your own
    8. seasonal mobs
    9. diurnal and nocturnal mobs
    10. some mobs that when distrubed will follow you and wreak havoc all around 
    11. mobs that setup camp to guard an area and move on if successfully attacked
    12. mobs that might pick you up and carry you unwittingly back to their lair to be released if someone comes to save you or after x time chance for escape
    13. mobs that might just give a high reward but might also steal the gear of defeated foes, creating a player generated treasure trove!
    14. small group mobs that fight quite strategically
    15. patrolling / nomadic mobs
    16. mobs friendly to the local community and not friendly to outsider

    Yes, please.


    Plus not all mobs of the same type be exactly the same.  Have some weaker and some stronger, have the occasional alpha specimen and the rare mini-boss.


    Please make the loot drops make sense.  I don't want to get a sword or a scroll or money off a wolf.

    I am also one of those that love the D&D style monsters.  I would like to see some of the undead creatures like the Githyanki, Lich's, Death Knights, Vampires, Trolls and what not.  Maybe some lesser type demons, Dragonkin\Draconians, Mimics, Lycanthropy, Kobolds, and other humanoid type of monsters.  
    What I hope you don't do is take something like a Bear or Spider and just change skin and put them everywhere. I know we are talking a lot of time and what not goes into each monster but running around killing the same thing over and over just drains you.

    Also any monster that you have to think about how to kill it rather than just hack and slash. Have a couple that you really have to think about how to defeat it or maybe even trick it into letting you around it.  That would be interesting.

    I love creatures with impact and gargantuan size. 


    I love dragons the most but they're a given, so I won't bother posting them.

    @ruairidh; Aye, MTG artwork is among the best. I really hope we get some badass colossal size monsters in the world of Ashes.

  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    There needs to be some so rare with such unique drops that nobody will believe your story!

    I want nothing that looks like a spider, sounds like a spider or even once heard of a spider on another world.

    @nagash; Not sure how to describe the badassery of those undead bosses. My favorite would be undead versions of giants and dragons like the first and second image.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    @nagash Does our Lord already have a pet? It would be unacceptable for a ruler of the dead not to have one. I hereby offer thee a few examples of what pets might assist thy undeadness best:

    Silent Hill Doggy


    Alien monstrosity of nightmares


    Undead goat slave thingy


    Classic Cerberus

    Yes to all above..

    Then for the mobs that bring environmental changes/moods.ie
    • the mob that brings darkness where ever it goes.
    • the mob that bring fog where ever it goes
    • the mob that brings fire/ice/lighning storms
    • the mob that brings blinding light
    • the mob that brings noise!
    • the mob that silences everything
    • the mob that fears everything in its wake so you know something evil is coming
    • the mob that infiltrates your team appearing as a member before turning
