Kobold Assault upgrade ideas

[Lleren]

Honestly, though, can anyone think of a reptilian monster for the Kobold Attack boss?

Kobolds riding Dragons and Dinosaurs!!!

Well Malicia has 2 appearances throughout the game so why can't Kasquik the Mighty lead the kobold invasion and also be one of Harry's lieutenants?

The Mabar Event Robe of Night has a Nightshield Clickie and some tanks can UMD ML:10 shield wands

So the shaman missile spams are invalid @_@

Unless of course, those shamans took the wizard past life

One slight miscalculation. The first part would last approx 80 minutes, assuming you can constantly slaughter the Kobolds. The nightshield clicky lasts about half an hour if you use all the charges, plus, the UMD for the wands is about 24, so that means they'd have to spend unnecessary skill points just for one quest, and what happens if they fail a couple times? Short of wasting tons of skill points, it's just not possible to remain fully protected through the whole thing, especially due to the Lag Factor. In other words, healers have to spam Mass Heals, or have their party get hacked apart by many, many, nail files .

Just realized something. You would have to 1) have UMD 24, 2) have perfect timing: if you cast it before the previous one ended, you'd waste a few seconds, too late, and you get nailed by hundreds of Magic Missiles. I guess you could get a lot of wands, but it's kind of wasteful. 3) it's not easy to switch to a robe, wand, etc if you have hundreds or maybe even thousands of kobolds attacking. Can anyone think of any other reasons why tanks wouldn't be able to use Shield?

On another note, I guess there could be no Resurrection Shrines. And if you try to get inside the Phoenix Tavern for the Rest Shrine, you run the risk of dozens of kobolds coming after you, and bad stuff happens if random citizens die because of that.

On yet ANOTHER note, why not add Lizard Men minions? They wouldn't count as "Kobolds", so they wouldn't further the quest, except maybe as an optional. Voila, you've got damage raining down on the barbarians that gets past their DR.

Now for a couple of details, then we can get to signing and asking Turbine about it. You can answer these questions and/or mention something else, then I'll mesh together the details and see if we need to rearrange them, if we don't we /sign and send. First Question: what will be the name of the Lizard King? Second, what will be the name of the dragon (it morphs when you kill it the first time, illusion or whatever)?

2000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 CR 2 Kobolds all attacking at the same time continuously without shrines in sight.

Not at once, if you look at post 1, I made a measurement of Kobolds per Minute (KpM). It's an average of 1,000 KpM for Kobold Invasion. Of course, it ranges from an actual 500 to 2,000 KpM for the Optional. And there's the dragons. And Lizard Men. Yark!

[Zectarash]

As for level, it depends on whether you picked norm/hard/elite.

A great kobold general would just say, "Yark! We hatez them forever! Yark Yark!!!~ Charge!!!~" and not measure KpM for the sake of DA and whatever reasons human attributes to their overconfidence and demise.

Remember the pic. )

Can we please have a no KpM limits for epic as option? )

And can I suggest to make this epic mode serverwide so it would also solve server lag from cloning instances? )

[Zectarash]

What, have a cascade of Kobolds like the whole ocean was unleashed? Eh, why not?

[Zectarash]

Just for Epic, though.

Not going to reply for a week or so, but keep posting, and I'll see what merges best when I can (don't reply to this).

Let me rephrase that, hardly at all.

[kreltis]

hmm a reptile boss ey? lets make up something new a halfkobold? a trog+ a kobold? or errmm what about a troll+a kobold or just get the kobolds from the mired in kobolds quest and feed them more steroids (like they aren't big enough yet....)
