Red-named trash . . . whay does it exist?

[Teh_Troll]

If something is red-named . . . shouldn't it at least have a name?

[Hathorian]

haha. this is a great question! I don't have an answer but I agree with your implication that there are far too many red name. they aren't special anymore (not sure if they ever were?). the game is all about dps now partly because nothing works against red name except dps.

I think it's fine as long as it's just not the same as normal mobs. Instead of Orc, I'm fine with the red name being Orc General or Orc Leader. And that's generally the case as I've experienced it. I wouldn't expect the devs to come up with a unique name like Kkomglol for every red name.

My guesses are that's either a response to "Epic is easy" or they want you to have a better look at what you're invising past...

That would be acceptable. but it's a copout not naming stuff, very lazy game design.

The reason why there is red named trash is for characters built more for dps rather then insta killing or tactics or what have you. It gives dps oriented characters a little bit more variety then just being good against the one red named blob that they put in per quest. I actually like having some red named mobs for my dps characters.

Another way to implement blanket immunities.

Why should any trash mob have named benefits?

Are the devs that uncreative that they can't come up with the names for the "unique" mobs?

Orange trash doesn't bother me, but I'm sorry red-named trash is ********.

It does; Troll, Ogre Mage, etc.

[Certon]

What? I'm AGREEING with Teh_Troll?

This can't be right!

Did Red-Shirts in Star Trek have names???

They dont live long enough to get named Red-Shirts are the opposite of Red Names; instead of blanket immunities they're like Coyles weaker siblings - they have blanket vulnerabilities!

To further boost Monk sales in U22 there will be purple named trash. Continuing the onslaught against anyone wanting to play a DC caster.

I love how the natural response to "this thing I do not like" equals "blame monks"

I remember the good ole days when ponies developed a new trick when their one trick did not work for every scenario.

Aside from 'red names' being like, you know named it also defies logic. A red name is supposed to be a unique or at least one of the most powerful representations of its type. Looking at the two new raids is this even remotely the case? Take Deathwrym, you mean all the Cult casters are the best of their type? Their entire order in the end fight? I could see maybe a council of 4 or so but when they are random trash spawns they all are the top tier? How did they all get so powerful? In FoTM its even sillier, all the salamanders are red named? Really? What about the elementals? All of them? There is a rare elemental in Thunderhoilme that actually has a name but what is the difference between him and all the other red elementals? Well other than HPs.

Better monster design would be to have one red named leader and then orange named around him. You could even go berserk and make the red name a huge sack of HPs.

[NaturalHazard]

every red name that doesn't have a name yet should just be named Bob.

....I got to say, chai is right.

Years back..... oh soo long ago I remember a thread where devs was introducing this to us, and the reason was like this: They aren't red named bosses... the color of the creatures name represents its types of immunities and blah blah blah.

ppl was upset they was getting no chests for red named critters.

I ran trial by fire the other day and there was a red-named troll...
