rare creatures

[AngelEight]

I was thinking it might be neat to add rare creatures to the game. They wouldn't be bosses or uniques but they would only spawn rarely. Mabey 1 in 200.

I'd say that a rare creature would be like the difference between a hulking centaur and a centaur warlord, but for different types of creatures. Even as small as the level 1 demons you fight in the beginning. A rare demon among the level 1's might be as hard as a goblin.

Rare creatures would hold rare loot or non-purchasable non-craftable consumables. Nothing fancy. Mabey a scroll of +10% exp for 10 minutes, an item with a lower level restriction than usual, a scroll of speed that lasts 5 minutes, or even a quest.

i like it, sorta like how they do it in WoW.

ahem, will you mind if I say, that there won't be such patch for TBR 1.xx and before suggesting that for 2.0 you must wait till it comes out?

Honestly, I don't know, why this forum board (suggestions) is not closed atm, cause there's nothing to suggest right now. I myself have a few suggestions for 2.0 in mind, but I keep them until it's released

so your saying we cant suggest things for a game just because its not released? do you not see the flaw in logic in that? the whole idea of this suggestions board is to tell the developers what we want to see in the new game. whats the point of having suggestions after the game is released?

just to put the nail in the coffin, I'm going to post some links to professional gaming studios that have a game suggestions board, even though the games havent been released.

Halo 3 ODST suggestions board (technically not a suggestions board, but suggestions are both allowed and encourages there.)

I think that what Edge wanted to say was that the things you guys suggest cannot be put in 2.0 since its already in alpha testing, nor to an 1.xx ver because they are currently working on 2.0. So you have to wait until it comes out and then suggest what you want for the next vers.

DeVa understood me correctly.

I'm not aganist suggestions (and it's not me, who decides if they're going to be implemented anyway), but suggesting anything RIGHT NOW is kinda... pointless (IMO), cause I think 95% of forum users want 2.0 to be out ASAP, so let mapmakers and testers finish their jobs (don't sure, that "job" is a correct word here) before suggesting anything new.

[monkeywithafuzz]

i don't believe its impossible to change something in a game just because its in an alpha phase, hell even in a beta phase. i would agree with you in cases were the suggestion is massive (I.e. a new hero class, or a new city), but just to add few more creeps? There is no law nor regulation that says this can not be done, so there is no harm nor foul in suggesting the idea...

Is it my bad english, or you simply can't read correctly?

95% of forum users want 2.0 to be out ASAP

means "it CAN be done, but it will postpone the release, which we want so badly (just look through the forums and you'll find a number of "whining threads" like "wtfbbq when will 2.0 come out?" "

I don't mind suggestions as long as they are good ones.

This one does not qualify.
