Re: New Notorious Monsters to Take Campaign by Storm! (03/09/2009)

Would now be a good time to say that I cashed in most of my AN for extra funds to my COR expenses? XD

Sill it sounds very interesting. Does this mean we're getting new gear in the next update too?

I agree with you about Nyzul...infact that's why I specifically didn't mention it. But with Assaults, ENMs, MMM and such, those "one or two quirks" are tied into the mob's behavior and makes them unique and creative fights. I mean, when push comes to shove there's only so many ways you can beat something down in this game, and with Assaults, ENMs and such, we see variations of how things go down. In the end, I doubt these new fights will be any different from the basic "tank-and-spank" or "burn burn burn" methods of combat people currently use as is, but in the end, there's very few ways to make the actual fights all that different.

Either way, the point still remains, creativity is not something new to SE, just something a lot of people overlook.
