Monster idea
 

I think GK needs a type of monster, in short magic lords with good speed.


Poison Mushroom Lord: does poison and physical damage via magic, same gfx as mushroom lord but recolored more green.

Electric Bomy Lord: Electrical damage via magic, same gfx as the blue bomy that has that outer electric glow when it attacks you, enlarged.

Ice Bomy Lord: Ice magic damage, enlarged snow bomy gfx


With each of them, I suggest a speed comparable to a player speed of 4 to 5. Every monster in GK is painfully slow, speed is a major combat factor and fast monsters would be a good idea.

As far as where they would be found, a very basic underground level would be easy enough to make, there is a dungeon generator I think.

For exp, I really think they shouldn't have more xp than a normal lord, maybe even less. The reason to hunt them would be that the electric bomy lord would drop an electric bomy lord skin (normal skin recolored dark blue) and when combined with a bomy lord helm, would make a bomy lord helm with 5% electrical resistance. Similar for the Ice and I haven't thought of anything for the mushroom.

One other thing, when a lord gets below 25% HP it should run for its life, making the player have to corner it in a tunnel to actually kill it, or have a strong party.

Last thing: these should attack like magic but not be interruptable the way demons and other magic monsters are, its too easy to cheap them with rapid hits. The compensation would be that the magic attack is limited to the area the lord touches - instead of a wide range of area. They may be found in groups up to three at a time, making it a bit harder to fight than normal lords.

The bulk of the code and gfx I think are in place for this type of monster, and players have nothing that are dangerous to fight (other than players) once they reach lvl 25+.

No mang. There should be monsters that can only be killed with magic, and give about the same exp as brutal worms. Reason: there is no current way to level up magic unless you tank on lords, which is like so hard :frown:

Also, the new monsters shouldn't be as fast as 4-speed players, dude, you're out of your mind :megaeek:
The main method of killing monsters for mages is animate weapon, or large bullet and such if they have enough mana. Compare how fast that crap travels in comparison to a 4-speed player yo.

I AM SAYING YO TOO MUCH X_X

Good idea, but bad for GK.

I would rather see something new instead of what we always see...

....how is new monsters with new gfx, new abilities, new locations, and new strengths/weaknesses not new? Lel.

How are overpowered, old items with horrid GFX not new?

Flying creature I made the other day.

I want to help make things for GK if its either levels or graphics. :cool:

Hm, that isn't too shabby but like...bleh, try and make a monster with new like...type, rather than just crappy old ice or fire or poison, of which we have WAY too much.

Yea I know, its my first gfx for a long time. We need flying creatures, thats why i made it.

New things are needed. Grab some monsters from the mudlib and make them. Dragons and spiders!

How about a smoky lord that appears in dungeons and mines, they will just dig there way in.

Something new. omgosh Thats not what we are talking about for new. ;p

Unless it is a demon lord with big red wings, flaming aura, and a 10 tile reach... no more lords please.

demon lord strong enough so only the magic god edwin can destroy it? :P

No. The demon lord will simply fly to me... smack me straight in the face with a big ass halbard and tell me "Know your place, boy!"

That strong eh... I don't know Ed...

We should have a monster, perhaps, a Aegir, or a Matyr, with a wc of like, -60, damage of 90, and speed of 4.5. No more of this bull**** bow laming.

Before any more monsters are made. We need more online undead monsters. scripted so that brigid users can use holy word like on skelly's since we cna use Wounds on worms and stuff like normal people. kthnxbai.

grim reapers are undead. but they arent available to kill...why? why do you reduce their EXP and put them in a map with like skelly's and gloks and stuff and call it like the Undead Map or something. just an idea cause ya. just because =D

Taharu.. use your fists. And for Wisdom Leveling, glitch, or use Avatar. >->

i use my fist for lvling physical. and avatar is all well and fine but i cant mouse over a monster and cast and expect it to hit everytime like with wounds ;-). avatar is quite difficult to stear over monsters over and over. and what glitch u know >.>

lol, Tah, I wouldn't tell you it :P

But Avatar is way easier in maps then wounds :/

That's a pretty cool monster! Like a heavil Gargoyle XD If you change the heavil part a bit, I'd love it.

aerovil - swoops around clawing victims and casts ball lightning.

We could have the Bradorgle, that steals items from people that try to help him and cast forked lighting everywhere.

Pity i suggested a lord/monster that digs its way through mine walls ****in' ages ago.

Ghosts. ..

whats wrong with a smoky lord

Smokys suck, thats what's wrong with them.

Ghosts. ..

Spam? lol :p

The suggestion is to make Ghost, physical damage doesn't hurt them while Magic does, and you need a special spell to see them (it casts an aura around you for so long)

I think that's a good idea, but hey, who am I?

I'm comming to your house, thats it! >:]

You don't even know where I live, besides I was out all night.

...And I could probably beat you (;...

Ghosts ..

hmm. i think they already have a special spell that lets u see monsters that arent quite visible to the eye...hmm what is that spell on GK called, oh yeah!!!!!! Detect Monster =D XD

Why not make seabomys wich attack you when sailing on the boats?it would make sailing much more challenging and really hard to do when you are alone!

No more bomys please.

ghosts... .

so, bomies and bunnies suck, and yet, they have lords, anyway, this one will attack you in mines and come when you least expect it.

So what if they have lords? They still suck.
