[Makkah]

Gotta admit... sounds really cool.

[droit]

Plane 4? Really?

[The Ponzzz]

So what's happening to Plane 5?

And are the higher up things still on a non-plane rift area?

Man...a plate wearing warrior with magic immunity? Crazy.

[NocturnalRob]

Plane 5 = new 110 area, I'm sure. And with the exception of the Vvrael, all I'm seeing is more shit for me to 1030.

[The Ponzzz]

Yeah, that's how it appears. But at SimuCon 2008, it was said that the 110 area would be completely new. Not Plane 5. I don't honestly care, just curious.

[NocturnalRob]

I HAVE SPOKEN!!

[Stanley Burrell]

So what's happening to Plane 5?

Not to mention Plane 6 undead:

[Plane Six, The Rift]
You see some really awesome stuff. Awesome stuff adorns other awesome stuff and next to it is an awesome stuff that awesomely stuffs an awesome vorpal turkey of awesomeness. Fiery crimson eyes awesomely eye your stuff as a lot of stuff looks awesome. You feel a bit stuffy as the awesomeness overwhelms your senses and gives you a stuffy nose, wisps of tendrils, made of awesome, stuffs your nasal passages. Awesomely. You also see an ethereal Chuck Norris.
Obvious paths: southwest, northwest, Dennis

An ethereal Chuck Norris looks at at you!
AS: 99999 vs DS: -12 with AvD: +You gonna die + d100 roll: +at least 600 = +Facemelt
...And hits for A GAJILLION points of damage!

Right arm severed at neck. Right leg turned into a balloon animal. Left nose reconstructed. Clock cleaned. Corpse medium-well and served to a herd of hungry cyborg cannibals.

[droit]

:rofl:

[Lumi]

an enormous rift crawler, 103, plane 4
giant rifty roa'ter, can burrow through planes

Does that mean we could end up seeing these things on planes 1-3? :(

Thanks for the update, Belnia!

[nub]

That stuff sounds pretty cool, maybe i'll buy that level 100 empath

[DwarvenTank]

So they just going to pull the soul/n'ecare combo off plane 4 and replace it with the high level stuff? Not a bad idea since plane 4 is hardly ever used anyways will save some time/work, these new creatures sound pretty cool.

[The Ponzzz]

Those roa'ters have me shitting bricks.

[Bhuryn]

why not move the stuff from plane 5 down to 4 then put this stuff on 5? I've never been the rift though, so maybe there is a reason =P.

[Mikalmas]

Probably because you have to go through five to leave four.

[Drew]

Man...a plate wearing warrior with magic immunity? Crazy.

And swinging mauls.

[Rimalon]

Fuck me in the ass. I'd definitely have to run constant rapidfire with that huge ass roa'ter threat and crit protected shit in there. I HOPE THEIR SKINS ARE WORTH A DAMN, THOUGH.

Fixskilling is looking likely for me, if I can't reliably ward these shitbags with Immo. Might have to put all my Lore TPs into 1x CM and 3x Harness Power.

Looks fun, though.

As long as Droit fixskills back to sword/board to kill the Vvrael and Gnimble's CS is high enough to send their fudge packing with 1030... we'll be FIIIINE.

EDIT: At least the roa'ter type creature SHOULD be a hated enemy for Sunfisters. Amirite?

[Back]

Post-100 hunting should make a few people happy. Post-100 undead? Nice.

[Belnia]

The rift worms will have the roa'ter "swallow whole" maneuver. And it'll do nasty damage!

Also, Immolate may or may not be considered too awesome.

"Swallow whole"? So I'm picturing a rescue where you have to kill the worm to recover the body. Sounds neat.

If someone dies inside a roa'ter, they get shat out. It's a standard maneuver now in regular worms.

[Androidpk]

I believe Methais has been hoping for an immolation nerf...

[Rimalon]

The last honest-to-goodness heartpounding moment I had in GS was when I was the first to get sucked into a roa'ter and didn't know what the fuck was going on.

Thank goodness for all my characters carrying like 4 daggers apiece, or I would have been pwnt.

[Back]

Never carry less than two. :)

[Danical]

I'm stuck in LA but have they talkd about sheer fear? It would suck to have to god damn stock up on fear defense.

[Renian]

This. If you do, no one's going to move from Teras/OTF except Volners, Paladins, and Clerics, which is bad because I thought the point of the new Rift area was to allow all capped people to hunt on the mainland and not be isolated from everyone.

[Danical]

Also, extra lulz if these 100+ creatures are in the rift and your outside spells (fear defense) gets stripped. I fucking hate sheer fear.

[TheLastShamurai]

My bet would be that they won't be getting rid of the spell stripping mechanic.

[Asha]

Wonder what kind of instant death maneuvers are going to be introduced here.
By introduced I actually mean ripped off Radicals and Defenders and placed on Vvrael for shits and giggles.
Also, how could I have not expected them to place the new critters on plane FOUR?
Fuck me.

[Swami71]

I see a lot of accidental deaths by others in Siphere's future.

[AnticorRifling]

Cant be worse than when I decided to try and hunt ants on Anticor....fuck me that was a mistake.

[The Ponzzz]

I just would have liked to see more creative names for the creatures. Some of them are good. But fetish master?

[NocturnalRob]

But fetish master?
but it's darkly inked!!

[thefarmer]

[Some Rogue]

Critter levels are getting adjusted, some will be moved to different planes and these new ones are in a totally new area, just not on a new plane.

[NocturnalRob]

i immediately google imaged that to see the nips.

Nips and candy corn...a dangerous combination.

[The Ponzzz]

but it's darkly inked!!

Yeah... This is how you know it's capped and nasty.

But seriously, I would have used something like sage instead of master, in the very least. Or like a a darkly-inked crazed puppeteer/illusionist.

so did I and I was not unhappy. :)

[Danical]

I think the bigger question for me is what is a voodoo master with FoF doll attacks (copy/paste Greater Earth Elemental clay beings) fucking around in the most dangerous hunting area in the game?

[Durgrimst]

She has pierced nipples... Nice

[Bhuryn]

picutre is definatly much improved without the white boxes.

[The Ponzzz]

Thank you for the neg rep!



Your ideas are generally poor.

[Nuc]

I just hope the Vvrael destroyer isn't immune magic. That would require me to fixskill my wizard to swing a claid.

[Danical]

Don't bother. Since it's lvl 108 you'll wiff an insane amount with only 1x weapon training.

[NocturnalRob]

fixskilling your wizard in order to have a better chance against one critter...sad.

OH NOEZ!! DID I HURT YOUR VAGINA!?!?

quit or start over, you whiny bitch.

[Danical]

I'd suggest to Mestys to recode Vrael to have magic resistance instead of immunity. Immunity (to anything) is a poor design creation.

People still bother with Rep?

I never understood Rep. Just quote the part you disagree with and offer a rebuttal instead of a cowardly insult.

Weak.

EDIT: This made me lulz.

[The Ponzzz]

Yeah, I wish I could turn rep off.

[Donquix]

Just don't look at it...not complicated.

[Swami71]

http://inquisitr.com/extra/wp-content/2009/01/fetishes.jpg

Anyone else think the fetish was cubes of butter and candy corn?

[Stanley Burrell]

It's bleached blonds and butterfly tattoos, dur.

[Allereli]

Don't bother. Since it's lvl 108 you'll wiff an insane amount with only 1x weapon training.

it might not be a bad idea combined with a 117 item and maybe a few weeks before free fixskills. Vvrael are some rich mo-fos. Should have enough time to get a hit in before 117 is stripped. Maybe not a permanent change, but something to experiment with.

I'm talking about E/B/P. Someone that is already 8 levels on average lower AND only 1x weapon training will get E/B/P'd all the god damn time since E/B/P compares your weapon training per level to the creatures; it's infuriating.

Could try group hunting with a disabler. Again, not talking about a long term fixskill
