Global Boss + Other Changes?

**Provectus** · 29-09-09

I've had a good think about this and again I'm sure it'll be met by some tears, but hey, we've not even been online for 2 weeks yet and are in Open Beta, some changes happen, namely based on your feedback, so blame yourselves for having a voice that only seems to hit my pm box and not the forums.

Start at level 40, the levels before it aren't any real work now with the addition of the LevelUpPet, it means we can take a fair few "When Player hits level xx" crap out, meaning a little less work for the server to do - This would mean (bar one or two select skills), every skill you need, will drop, other than the RB bought ones.

The reason for removing 1-40 is WT is currently a waste, all you do is spend 30 minutes there and then there's no reason in hell to go back again, ever - Any players from the old Euro days will tell you WT was the place to be, I've missed having a decent version of WT and I reckon most of you have as well, so here's the idea;

We have a handful of versions of WT, one for each RB bracket, all with different names so it's easier to distinguish between them, we'd have one for each RB stage, as we currently have a rare set in for 150-250, I'd love to have another in for the next bracket (but maybe lower the level gaps a bit, as they'll take that much longer) of RB, but I digress (good word for this time of day), the point would be a 150-250 WT cave for people to solo bang WT's and for a WTKing (or Lord, or Dildo, or whatever you want to call it) to pass the time. I like the idea of not having an actual top end level requirement, but 250 is the top level you'd really want to go here due to drops. The exp would be around the same as PB, without the chance of drops from mobs, giving say 3 or 4 WT's every 10 minutes? Would lead to some good fights, I'd also like to make 1st non-RT'able, but make 2nd rt'able, as 1st is quite a short run.

Thoughts? (Again I'll condense it, as I try to put a butt load of detail in so people can actually picture it, whereas most people just want the jist of it and for it to be added);

150-250 (no top end cap, but that's the levels it's aimed at) version of WT.
Ok exp, nothing major, but with no drops from mobs.
Disable RT's on 1st, allow them on second, so some running is required.
3 or 4 WT's spawn every 10 minutes, so 2 people could happily stay there, but any more and you'd fight for it.
Aimed at solo players, leaving the start of BDD to them too, meaning groups have this King**** of a WT, in addition to OK/PT/middle-end of new BDD (if it goes in).
Once every 1/2/3/4 (would need deciding) hours a King**** of sort of WT spawns, with a decent DropFile, enough to make him worth fighting for - Maybe GlobalShout when he spawns?

Working on the good ol' 3 hours of sleep again, so I may have to amend this slightly later on, not presented the idea to Cerb, so it's possible I'll get kicked in the ribs and this idea will be dropped, unless you all love it.

As i was saying to you the other day i think most people are sick of the same old stuff. Its why im trying to bang all the used caves out now and bring in completly new maps and mobs instead. I think people would prefer totally different caves with different mobs and maps than re doing wt with different names.

**Provectus** · 29-09-09

Cave/mob wasn't the point, a place that takes 5 mins to get to KR with a few buns of rt's, an easy to kill boss with the occasional uber boss, all of it centered around fighting, was the point.

By all means find a new map for it, I love the ones you've picked out so far, so have confidence that you'll find a decent one, but the main thing I want to add (going from feedback) is something other than levelling between 200-250, especially as it's done twice with RB (the new cave is cool, 200-230 will be fine, but 230-250 will grind on them again... People don't think far enough ahead to do 200-220 in JT and THEN go to the new cave, so they get variety

).

You know my thoughts on sub boss and uber bosses...

**PoleDancer** · 29-09-09

I like the idea of the every 4 hours a "big" boss spawns and DF is good for it with the global (just like OKS on euro) that will cause alot of fights with the bigger players which would be fun

maybe start putting recall set into place?

also all floors should be able to RT cause i can see some players fighting, getting pkd and thinking nah cba to run first floor then rt.

just a few things maybe change

/Proof

**Tsarin** · 29-09-09

it is good but maybe disable rt's in there altogether it not exactly a long temple like BC

Apart from that i am quite happy with this idea

**m1metal** · 29-09-09

great idea, WT was the place in beta euro,
find a corner wizz in back then taos healing and hiding warriors in front lol
used to be good fun but maybe make it so there are mobs for different classes so ppl have to go in grp 4 1 of the caves?? the other a solo campaign. rt in the solo cave?

lvl do i need to rebirth pleaz?

**Provectus** · 29-09-09

Nah, running second takes an age, I'm curious how many other people think allow rt's on both floors, the thing is, I'd want it to be a really Big**** of a boss that takes a lot to put down, meaning it takes quite a while to kill... It'd be a huge hassle if you have a 30m fight, kill the entire (rival) group, get it down to 20% and the group comes back and the boss gets lost, lol.
