Heres an original
« on: August 16, 2002, 12:31:04 am »
Maybe this isnt one that would be as good as it sounds but..., a monster, that when found is so powerful that it requires every gamer currently on the server to work together to kill it... and then it drops a special magic itme that u can only have 1 of,  oh yeah, and it drops one for every character that helped to defeat it, that sounds cool to me, guys some feedback?

if everyone has to help kill it and it drops one for everybody, then everybody has the thing, so whats the point?

LIKE a super boss, a mother of all monsters!!! whahah...
It sounds cool, but a bit far fetched, i mean, that would be ALOT of ppl, in one are, causing TONS of lag to everyone. Than there is always a chance of a server crash because of that. Maybe not everyone on the server, but maybe like 5-10 ppl. But as i said, it\'s cool. 8)

Nothing worse in online games than Uber mobs, the ones that take 80 people to take down and have HP\'s into the 100,000\'s. It basicly becomes a heal fest, nuke fest and tank rush in the end.

EQ is filled with them and every expansion they get more and more tougher... whats fun about haveing the whole server crowding around one mob and hacking away. Considering the Frame rate drops and server lag that would arrise from such a situation as well. Ive been in those situations and believe me they stink.

A God is a god, you cant kill it and I dont see how letting players kill what should be un-killable as being fun.

Down with Uber mobs....

To be honest. I hate monsters so powerful I HAVE to have someone there to help me. For once, I\'d like to tak down a boss monster on my own in an a mmorpg. I know it encourages team work, but there\'s really no glory in 50 people killing a Dragon.

Bob: Hey! I killed a dragon!
Ted: So what? There were like 30 other people there healing you. And another 14 mages throwing death spells.

See?

Uber mobs are great i think (except for the lag). They promote team work, and give a guild a bit more fun then the usual stuff. It also keeps the game interesting in the high end, though i think a mob shouldnt have more than say 30 people there to take it down. Just my opinion 8)

I would like to see these \"uber\" bosses in PlaneShift. It\'s a lot of fun planning a raid and then actually using the plan. They could drop some very elite items, complelety random. I think this is one element that is very popular in EQ and a similar element should be applied to PS.

Item drop should depend on the damage done to the monster by player X. If player X did most damage, the uber item gets transferred to him... if any.
