Title: going to bosses (stealing badangels idea)
Post by Jurian on 01/06/04 at 19:48:51
posting badangels idea here cuz i like it alot and i think it deserves it's own thread :D

she posted in the other thread that you should be allowed to enter a boss square if the boss is mortally wounded. i suggest you can't etner the boss square if it is moderately wounded.

only problem might be that someone could get a boss to mod and then leave so nobody can enter.

my solution: if a boss hasn't been attacked for 5 minutes hp goes back to full.

Don't think there is any place for this idea in Nightmist, what if someone gets it to moderately logs off to get mana. Can't get back in for 5 mins, then the boss is at max health?

Better idea yet is to have every boss spawn every 30 minutes or so, but have a very very low drop percentage. So everyone gets a chance at one point or another. Obviously the difficulty of the bosses would need to be reduced, and possibly a restriction on numbers introduced, so only 10 people can be on a boss square at any one time.

Ya, twas "You cant go north the boss is Mortally wounded."

Hmmm getting it to mort then leaving would be a problem I didnt consider.

Or, if the boss hasnt been attacked for 5 minutes the square is accessable again.

"A strange force stops you from going north because the boss has been mortally wounded.   "

Then if the boss isnt hit for a few minutes, the strange force could just go away allowing passage.

yeah something like that i just like mod better then mort cuz basic oss rule is don't enter or keep drop after mod (well unwritten rule but that's what i use with friends)

If someone walks in the last min and gets the kill, more power to them, sucks for you but don't make up rules to stop it...

hmm ever seen the fights about hallys? when someone steals a drop you get massive fights most of the time. but guess it doesn't happen to you often then.

not if it's your drop :d

It's only your drop if you killed it, so if its mort it isn't your drop yet...

if you go to a boss and it takes you 30 mins to get it from sli to mort and then someone walks in and gets the drop that;ll piss you off to.

anyway other comments?

And if you go to a boss and someone else has been hitting it for 30 min and you walk in and get the drop, then you're happy. It's the way it is, no other comments are needed..  :)

Ideas likes these make NM even more boring....

No offense to you Jurian, afterall Badangel came up with it  :P

I agree with Jurian on this one. Unfortuantly the unwritten rules aren't heald by all.

Even though I like the idea, I don't think it's that practical

i like the idea, because in most clans theres that unwritten rule, and i believe there should be a written rule for it. for instance, i am very poor, the most gold i have ever had in my 1 year of playing is 400k(lasted all of about 5mins too, bought 2 crits  :-/) anyway, i have sweet nuts all to buy specialist equipment (eg, Boots of Time, sgs, crs and soforth) and one day i was taking the spider king by myself (heh, bad idea) and it was at mort and my crits were just about dead i had lost a couple on the way to mort but anyway Ryan(leader of hell then) came in on theives, dropped me and took the kill. Now i dont hate ryan for this, i applaud him for his tactic, yet i do think this should be changed because seriously... i wanted that sg :'( :'( :'( this happened months ago(something like 4ish) b4 my crits were deleted and finally(as of yesterday :D) they were restored again..
anyway thats my short, suck up tale, basically what i want to say in a few words is


i support it, :)
