Actual GIANT Monster attack?

Lol.

For me the only giant monsters we actually have is Lusca and the sewer monster. Most of the others are just larger versions of things that we already have or the models/fight are not different from what we already. Its not that sense that you are fighting a giant monster but rather just a normal event.

I think that is key to a giant monster attack is that you don't see all of the creature and that the attack happens in stages. This makes a giant monster attack different from an event.

Paladin and babbage are so closely related that I actually can't tell the difference between the encounters. I would leave babbage as is but Paladin I would make into more like a giant monster attack.

For Paladin the object is to stop the clockworks from finishing building him. Its not really all that exciting though. What about if the clockworks are trying to build paladin inside of a building, and as they construct him various limbs appear to come out of the building like he's trying to step out of the building. You see his head on top of the building, and arms sticking out of the sides of it, crack down the front of the building for effect. The beauty of this is that the various buildings would give him a different sense of size, imagine him on a big skyscraper his head on the top and arms sticking out the middle maybe a leg out the front massive cracks and crumbling all around the building. Then imagine him in a smaller building where all you might see his his head and arms sticking out the side with the rest of him seen as underground. This leaves you with a massive sense of size and ugency in defeating him as well as a nasty fight incoming. First you need to stop the clockwork rushing towards the building, then once they are stopped defeat whatever has begun to emerge from the building.

Why doesn't the sewer monster attack locations with sewers? Just imagine tenacles coming out of manhole covers or ripping open the streets, through buildings at various heights and sizes. Basically a tenacle model with a different base to show it ripping up through the streets, buildings, ect. That would be a cool attack and give a sense of the size and threat of this creature that lurks deep in the sewers. I would love to see a hold from the attacks with the hero floating in the air and a tenacle wrapped around him that burst up from the ground, or immobilizaion by wrapping tenacles around their legs.

Rularuu could be seen as a set of arms and a head ripping through the fabric of the universe. You need to beat those back and then defeat the portal.

Hamidon could look like that rather then this.

Hamidon loses a lot of his current size because we fight inside of him so he becomes disconnected. You have the various parts of hamidon but the actual hamidon is perceived as that central giant oval. Imagine him more like that first amoeba image. You have a smaller central mass and off of that mass are interlocking models of nodules and tendirls. Think of it as stages.. beat the tendrils down to nodules, the nodules regenerate so they are beaten down and destroyed to the main body. Once all of those are destroyed Hami begins attacking using his various rays while the heroes bash on him until he is forced to divide and scatter to escape. That seems more like a giant monster fight then fighting a series of orbs and ovals. You could keep the raid as it is and use a different version of Hami to assault Founder's Fall.

Overall I really love the idea of fighting giant monsters. But that doesn't mean I want to just fight a large model. Rularuu as is would be kind of meh to fight imo as when you up close all you are going to see is the bottom of his robes and lose that actual sense of size because of that.

I religiously pull the Paladins in High Park into the Galaxy entrance police drones, because if they get to three in the park, the badge event doesn't spawn anymore.

LEGION OF VALOR - Be a part of the Legend!

Perhaps a zone should be put into a state of emergency when a Giant Monster attacks, with buildings, trains, and highways being sealed off. That might give heroes in the area incentive to take it out.

Ah, the "Hotel California Gambit".

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave...

Absolutely more monsters need to be the size of Lanaruu and Jade Spider. That would be perfect, their monsters, they should be that big. I hit this topic pretty hard in my Sig, about the life of Giant Monsters in general though. Bigger monsters? /sign.

I love a good GM battle so ANY new one on either Red or Blue side would be welcomed. :-D

Now until Castle can find a way to make GMS bigger.. and as mentioned compared to the TALLEST super hero we can create they are all Giants... how about this option to make things more interesting.

During the 5th Anniversary the Devs programed a Zone attack by a wide variety oif GMs and AVs which definately required more than one team of 8 to combat. It was a lot of fun and gave players the chance to pick up a lot of badges for defeats without the need to run from zone to zone waiting on individual GMs to spawn. For anyone that doesn't recall at some point the attack would begin and suddenly Adamastor, Kraken, Jurrasik, Eochia, Jack in Irons, the Winter Lord, the Kronos Titan, Babbage along with Lord Recluse, Ghost Widow, Sirrocco, and Black Scorpion would appear and teams of players would attack to defend the likes of Atlas Park, Port Oakes, etc.. of course on Red Side the villains were replaced with Statesman, Back Alley Brawler, Manticore and so on. The mechanics are already in place since they OBVIOUSLY did it once already so turn it into another type of invasion just like the Rikti or Zombies. I'm sure with a little coding they could even alternate it so one invasion could be strictly GMs and the next all AVs.

Now lets pick a spawn point so some poor hapless 1 level arriving in Atlas, Galaxy or Mercy doesn't arrive and find themselves staring a 5 or 6 Giant Monsters or half a dozen Avs but don't hide them away in some remote corner of Nerva or IP so it takes 20 minutes just to find them either.

I'm not sure what to use to trigger the invasions.. We know that the Rikti attack after a successful LGTF and Zombie supposedly occur 20% of the time after someone turns in Halloween Salvage on either Red or blue side. Options are sort of limited but I'd like to see the event spawn for both but having one occur a certain percentage of the time after a successful ITF seems odd.. Okay we defeated an ancient Roman traitor how exactly does that spawn 6 GMs in St. Martial and Brickstown? Maybe a little reverse logic would work... A team of villains successfully completes the LRSF with all of the signature heroes defeated and in Hospital recovering Lord Recluse uses the lack of defense to launch an attack on Steel Canyon? Heroes complete a succesful STF and Statesman and the gang rush to the Rogue Isles to attack while the Arachnos forces are in chaos? Then just vary it so one time it launches AVs and then next GMs or keep it just like that anniversary event and have a combination of both.

Okay its not a 60 foot tall Radioactive Lizard that breaths fire but it's something until they figure out the way to make the Lizard work LOL

I Wantto see " JAWS" be able to swaim in any water way so every map is a danger area and not saFE WATER

the real thing most player wantto see is whaT THEY DO IN SAFEGUARD MISSION THE WHOLE CAR AND DUMSTER BLOWING UP ....... but on a bigger scale

i mean the Ginat moster could be a freaking super flea as long as that flea can knock down a build or two along the way

Like this?




I enjoyed that bug.

Nice Necro. BUT, as it piqued my interest, and before a Mod smacks it down...

Sounds like the Black Knight from Monty Python. All for it, Devs! DO IT. You know you want to!

/Tis but a scratch. I've had worse!
//And... Modlock for necropost in three... two...

Oh man, I didn't check the previous dates, just the poster above me. I feel kind of dirty now.
