have the rats become demi-gods?
« on: January 30, 2005, 11:25:52 pm »
ok, this title isnt too appropriate, but I really wonder:
last time I played, I was killing rats fine (Im still a new char w/o any equip, just earning money for a pickaxe).
but with 3.006 - WHAM! I get killed by rats waaaay too fast.
If things run really well, I can maybe take 25% off the rats hp before I die.

If I may ask: what is going on? no money -> no items. no items -> no kills. no kills -> no money?
hows this supposed to go?
is this a bug or do we need groups to bring down rats now? sorry but I dont get it :/

Some rats are stronger than the others. I think it depends from the spawn point (from where in the sewers they are).

yeah, I read about some being glitched, but so far 3 out of 3 rats took me out in no time :/

@androgos: what other ways are there to earn cash? mining, yeah, but I need trias for a pickaxe first :P

as to the different types of non-glitched rats...(ary mentioned this earlier)

if you right click them and click on the eye symbol(the one the brings up a description of whatever you have selected) the descriptory text is different for each type of rat for example the weakest rats simply say \"a rat named rat...a one eyed rat\" while another stronger type says \"a rat named rat...a vigorous one eyed rat\"

so new players look before you go stabbing something and if you run into what you think is a glitched rat (or as i call them an uber rat of doom)...RUN!RUN FAST!AND DONT LOOK BACK IT ONLY SLOWS YOU DOWN!

In my opinion, this adds to realism.

Some monsters are more heavily trained then others, we cant expect for all monsters to fight at the same level.

But they grow, As they grow they get bigger fangs, longer claws, and a bigger body for endurance

This is because certain rats are more powerful than others.. its a way to reward higher level newcomers with more exp.. (Insted of geting 5 or 10 they get 20 or 25)

Rats get old and DIE. They don\'t grow with huge claws/fangs/etc. Gobbles are much better exp for me than rats, I get like 55 or 60 each..
