hoppin mandrake Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Would anyone else like to see some giants added that announce their arrival and spawn around the player when on a boat or in the caves kind of like Deerclops? I especially think a giant hunting you in the caves would be really terrifying and effective. Any ideas on what kind of giants they might be?

Cheggf Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 If you're in the caves when Deerclops is going to spawn in Uncompromising Mode he just falls through the ceiling lol. Adding more giants that hunt you could be fun, but I think ones that you choose to fight are better. The ones that hunt you are limited in how strong they can be since it'd be quite BS if for example Bee Queen just spawned on you out of nowhere, and if you want to fight them but it isn't time yet there's nothing you can do about it. They serve more as an initial shock for new players, which quickly gets overcome with experience.

He doesn't roam too much either since his AI disables when there's no players near him. A roaming boss could be cool if they actually roamed instead of just staying put when players aren't nearby. Not sure how feasible that is.

JustAFlower Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Some seasons in the caves or at sea (the sea and the caves don't really have big interactions than the surface/land with the season) will be the best cherry on top to create new giants for the players, I don't know if the servers could hold though.

Golden Daemon Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Maybe a roaming terraforming raid boss? The closest thing i could think of would be a spiderqueen. A boss that just roams around in the game world (not hunting the player, but doing his own thing) every few days and changes/corrupts/implants/removes/creates new things that are in his vicinity over a long period of time for a set time (meaning the world can heal if the boss is not there anymore), almost like the current rifts, but its a moving entity rather than a stationary one (meaning that it can both migrate closer and away from the player, specially if players decide to "help" him move). Defeating him would give the players some part of the boss alongside the regular loot stuff that would allow them to perform the terraforming manually , letting them create a controlled area where they can access the new resources that come from the new environment. This would be a massive amount of work (not the boss itself, but the changes it can bring to the world and creatures) to make but i just thought it would be a cool way of adding a dynamic element to the game which could spice up playthroughs and make them differ from each other a bit more. Maybe even an ocean turtle boss with his own mini biome full of barnacles and kelp and other bushes on its back that roams in the ocean? submerging during dusk and night and re emerging during day in another random part of the ocean.

-Variant Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I wish there were more threats that came to you, the player. I noticed they all kinda disappeared, lately. Dfly was made into a stationary raid boss and was replaced with Antlion which... sorta counts? I guess? Not really. I want more bosses like the seasonal giants, more threats that approached the players. The novelty of going to the raid bosses has died off for me. They can be more unique, like SW's Tiger Shark! She's an awesome example of a boss that actively lives outside of player interaction! You can find her in any season hunting and exploring the world, and is even neutral outside of defending her kittens. Bosses like that, that explore and do things. Like Bearger, too. Those're fun. Maybe have more sorta like the existing raid bosses but instead are territorial, and explore their reign without needing to be forcibly activated. (Klaus sack. Beequeen hive. Toads mushroom. They all feel really game-y.) Although, all in all, I'd also like more threats outside of bosses in general.
