ADM Posted August 26, 2024 Share Posted August 26, 2024 The Greater Depth Worm got me hyped, but we've seen concerns and experienced enough with it to make us question if it'll ever fit in the settings it is (seemingly ?) planned to release. Which is the 'Varglet of the Worm Waves'. Obviously... it's a little more than that, and I like that outcome especially if we could just have gotten a reasonably buffed worm. Instead we got something close to a full boss. But considering its lethality and unprecedented potential for mass destruction. I find it inappropriate to make it (fully) part of the standard wave protocol. To me this seems more the type of an approaching giant, like how Deerclops or Bearger makes their own warnings before appearing. I think the Greater Depth Worm should still be using the usual worm wave timer and cooldown, but that it should be more of its own things so that we don't always encounter it so that we also preserve numerous worms from waves from time to time, make it use a different warning sound, and a bit more time to prepare than the 30 seconds before its arrival for aged worlds when this peculiar individual is coming. I think this has chances to be healthier, and if we want to assure Greater Depth Worms to happen... maybe we can involve Hostile Flare in the system.

-Variant Posted August 26, 2024 Share Posted August 26, 2024 Oh my God... all this take about either making it its own boss, or nerfing it and keeping it a part of waves, and I never once considered it being the caves own version of a seasonal boss. I take everything back, I want this!! I want more approaching bosses again, its been ssoooooooooooooooooo long!

HowlVoid Posted August 26, 2024 Share Posted August 26, 2024 All you really need is a lasso and the Texan spirit. Then you too can tame the Alaskan bull worm.

The worm is blind though.

In fact if you use them, you can cause earthquakes Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/159358-greater-%E2%89%A0-normal-worm-waves/#findComment-1744219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiko24 Posted August 27, 2024 Share Posted August 27, 2024 20 minutes ago, Milordo said: Ohh..... ok then I mean, when we are talking from a purely logical perspective, the flare would cause vibrations throughout the cave ceiling, not necessarily to the location of the caster's ground. Falling rocks would mean vibrations everywhere, causing the worm to be functionally blind for a period of time. We don't see many pillars allowing vibrations to travel to the exact location of the ground below, so the worm that is dwelling under the surface of said ground would not know the exact location.
