Rare types of baddies
 

Well we all have our insane encounters with rare baddies. You try to explain but nobody really ever trusts it. Today it was my turn..... The fabled golden blob!

Photoshopped! Lol jk.

I had to take on two badit captains at once. I killed one and almost Finsished the second, when some guy stole my kill.

Bats with hats? Works for me :D

Skull bats
Gold slimes
Flaming slimes
Giant crab
Pirate leader
Not sure if theres a normal baddy that became something different like instead of green its blue who knows

Bomb rats?

woah dusty, how did you manage to do this? i remember you tried getting a similar extrude effect with polys years ago

i achieved it similarily with a clientside overlay... is this the same?

Two polygons. One overlays a large polygon over the entire screen, then carves a hole out of the center(when polygon coordinates overlap they invert, or in this case erase). Then another polygon that draws an image where the hole is cut out that represents the circle.

However if you think it allows you to draw overlapping circles you misunderstood. That can be achieved though with creative use of drawingpanel gui's, though:


Gotta be careful with darkness effects for mobile servers however, because of phone/tablet brightness and such even a slight darkness overlay can make it very hard to see.

So how hard it would be to make a day night / weather cycle

It wouldn't be hard at all

Would be a great idea to add so in case something like idk *cough fishing* the code would just need some slight editing plus it would look cool

Making those things is easy. Giving them purpose is hard. If you have rain and night it's cool at first... then you realize there's no reason for it to be dark and making it harder to see, or have it rain that's distracting and loud. Then players ask for ways to disable them and then suddenly some players are playing in darkness(which is a handicap imo) and some aren't... so they disable it because it adds nothing to the game.

Like I said maybe certain fish come out at certain times and stuff like in terraria or maybe bugs are more common during certain conditions or different things are sold at shops or the bazaar events something special or it could just be there for ascetic to make the world feel more alive. Or it could have your character status effects like in Xenoblade Chronicles x. The possibilities are endless less all you got to do is think

And that stuff is hard to implement.

Yes I know things take time and currently most people seem satisfied with the current updates but still just saying

Wow, the possibilities must be endless if it is endless less!

Twice I've tried to fight it. If it touches you it detonates which is how both my attempts ended actually
Anyone know what it's drops? Those gold slimes are very profitable if you can manage to find one. Not that many things drop nice golden gralats :D

When i fought it before it only gave me a red gralat.

Yeah rat drops red. Sometimes a blue crab drops a gold gralat... and black snakes... every tiem.

I've killed many a bomb rat in my day, and I've never seen them drop a red gralat. Just a gold gralat or nothing.

Which I'm really not a fan of. Let's face it, it's barely anything given how hard it is to come by a rare spawn. I've long since said that rare spawns should at least have a chance of dropping something special.

I love the concept of rare spawns. But a measly 100 gralats that's not even a 100% drop chance? And now people are saying some are only dropping red gralats? C'mon..

Here's a simple idea: Make rare spawns drop a chest that contains either a random amount of gralats (100-250), a map, or a unique item exclusive to rare spawns (hats, furniture, etc. The rare spawns can share the same drop table, except for one item that would be exclusive to each one: a pet version of the rare spawn. Ie: golden blob pet, bomb rat pet, etc)

If all of that can't be done, then I'd be happy with just the rare spawn pet idea.

Or a loot item... oh, wait!

so has anyone produced conclusive evidence that killing the small blobs around Swamptown speeds up the rate at which the huge blob spawns or can I proceed to laugh at those people as they experience placebo effect

The only wayto make the giant blob spawn is by killing little ones, it's not like before where it spawned randomly at any time.

There was a giant gold slime yesterday around 11:59pm EST - gave gold slime spoils.

Wow! Hope you got something great after tangling with that thing :)

I managed to run into one of those Black snakes the other day and even managed to get a gold gralat for dispatching it

Is this enough proof? I have even more of these because I planned to make a compilation at some point, don't know any good free editing software though
sorry for terrible quality, does it look like I know what a jpeg is?

Kudos. :D

so true. i encountered one at air asia and no one believed me

Medium-small blobs seem to be important. The midget ones that pop out after you kill one seem to make no difference.

Proof?

Also, how do you spawn the bandit captain?

The big blob spawns from killing a large one. You have to clear the small ones in order to make more 'mid sized' ones appear... but I find that the count is from the mid sized ones.

And, as to bandit captain, fight bandits for 5-10 minutes and you should see one or more.

It's just a glitch but I had to post it

nope not a glitch. fire blob actually spawns, but its pretty rare... and sometimes appears off map.

It was very cool to see but then I stumbled into a man diguised as a crab. I swear I hit the crab and a guy popped out

I have encountered the fire blob. Then some person tried extinguishing it with a water pot.

Is this new?

It was pretty hard to kill but it dropped a gold gralat.

Yeah that giant spider really rips players apart :O very cool to see it in action

Thanks for getting it to spawn FoulPoot

This is simply the default character graphic for all npcs... the red noobie. It used to appear at christmas too, when you sat on your horse and slashed a present.

Yeah, like a tank. Definitely the hardest baddy to kill.

no... just no ive played enough windwaker to know thats a terrible idea

bomb rats ftw

Bomb-chu's.

Anyone ever discover a rare version of the Lizardon yet? I don't fight them very often

Must suck being the one creating the giant blob bc then a whole mob comes at you and you barely get to hit the blob

Lizardons themselves are rare (so... no).

Actually the blob bounces into the sky and then spawns in a different location, depending which of the small bobs caused it to spawn. The only one I know for sure is if you kill the top right spawn point blob (just beside the bushes near the pond/witch hut), the blob generally spawns on the far upper left hand side of swamp.

So, like most of the features in the game?

(In all seriousness though, I did encounter a flaming blob. Someone tried to put it out with a water pot, but it was out of bounds.)

If you manage to catch a rare baddy in your bounty box you get paid a 250 gralat bonus :o

Also the box itself gets a sparkle animation if you manage to pull it off

4-Lom said: Lizardons themselves are rare (so... no).

They not rare anymore when you go to the volcano in Big City.

Tbh they really were never rare there were just not enough of them in destiny for bounty, but they were always there for sure and it's not like they were a rare spawn.

I think a cool rare variation for a lizardon would be blue colored and it would be called a Hydrodon and it would shoot out water rather than fire,, sounds kind of cool right?
