Just as the title says. I'm really tired of seeing giant spiders and spider-like beings. Please Devs, leave out the giant arachnids from whatever new content comes out! It's not the just in DDO, either. Giant spiders seem to be a staple of many games. If there must be oversized animals, let it be something else, something new... like giant ladybugs, or giant squirrels!
Please, we have enough giant spiders already....

There is a patch or something that changes the spiders to something less threatening for arachnaphobes.
I do think that there is a lack of creativity in most mob creation. I am tired of spiders, oozes and bats. Just boring types of mobs.

No kidding - enough spiders!
Something unspider like would be nice. Not a bat, nor a rat, or a wolf.
Can we just get some monsters please?

Let's go back to this game being Dungeons and Undead, and then Dungeons and Devils! People complained then, and they complain now because most of the newer content this year involves spiders.

so you are suggesting that there are only undead, devils, or spiders?

I was actually just restating what others have said in the past about this game as updates/modules seemed to string together with either of those monsters being the big theme.

I'd vote for chimera and slaadi. I've voted for slaadi several times but we just don't see them for some reason.

We could bring in those armor plated centipede looking things. Along with the alligator things and the big ol froggy things. (Ya I can't recall the names offhand)

I'm sure if you give the devs enough um "creativity serum" they will be able to invent some truly amazing monsters. I mean look at Ozzy Ozbourne he had a ton of "creativity serum" and look at what amazing music he made. Earnest Hemingway had the same "creativity serum" and look at his writing. And its not like you have to go far to find it, its available in the refrigerator (or near it) in every major grocery store.

Wererats
Goblins
Umber Hulks
Displacer Beasts
Owlbears
Bullywugs {those big ole Frog things}
I'd love to see all of these in DDO!
Plus of course - Kobold Player Characters!
Yark!

Formians from the plane of Daanvi have hives in the jungles of Xen'drik according to cannon Eberron lore. Formian CR range from 3-17, they are always lawful neutral.
Or maybe a quest on a ship that involves a Kraken of some sort, perhaps being released.

Less spiders would be nice. When I can look in my monster manual and see the spider kill count doubles any other type of mob in it, I'm willing to say they are bit overused.

Yea....I would love to see Shambling Mounds, Owlbears, Ettins, Otyugh (SP?), Thri-Kreen (SP?) & how about some plain old Goblins.

Wish granted. Next update will be primarily populated by Bezekira and Razor Cats. :cool:

Oh, man. The Brown Spider Princes from Tangleroot (and a few other places) used to be horrendously difficult. On elite they were nearly impossible to hit with a melee weapon, had Evasion and a super high reflex, and hit for almost as much as an Elite Orthon from Shavarath ... to Level 10 characters. They were brutal.

Ya know umber hulks and Owlbears are at the top of my list, how in tar-nation they can bring out an under-dark expansion without fricken umber hulks is well just plain sad.

I remember running an elite harbor quest at +1 level, and of our entire party, even while flanking we could only hit the spiders on a 20, while they were taking off 2/3rds of our hp on each hit.
Scorpions were just as bad.

I wish they would tie the worlds together a bit more... Like the Quori discovering another portal to Faerun and crossing over there to attempt a takeover of that land, or even Red Wizards of Thay attempting to come over to Eberron.

And I would like a law or something, banning drow and underdark from ALL games for the next few years...

They only had the first rift open due to Lolth ripping open a rift so there would need to be something just as powerful to open a new rift.

Well, a minor god(dess) is not THAT much powerful, than, lets say group of epic casters together.
Epic rituals powered with blood of many slavers and rare/powerful components should do the trick.
I think it would be actually cool to see more Eberron in forgotable realms (but not much the other way; their most advanced technology is like a child's toy when compared to Eberron, only monsters assaulting this world could be interesting).

All the above suggestions are good. I like long plot arcs where you really feel as if you're fighting a war so owlbears doesn't really tickle me much, but I'd be very happy to never see a spider again.
Been there, done that, seen that, read about that, killed a million. Over it.
