dungeons/boss monsters/ and dragons

[Da Fleegsta]

i heard there's only 1 dragon in the whole game??? wtf.. are there more, are they gonna add more, or what..

are dungeons in the game yet? and do they usually have a boss monster at the end of them?

and are there even alot of boss monsters roaming the world? like if i wanted to fight some giant ogre dude, would i find one?...

[cr0ss]

More than one dragon. I know of at least 4.

There are dungeons. There are chests that you need keys to open for phat lewts at the bottom guarded by boss mobs.

There are hardcore 'boss' type mobs around the world. I know of many. :D

[Dovregubben]

In Darkfall every mob is a boss mob....




Anyway, there are quite a lot of dungeons, and they are no pushovers, they usually contains some of the toughest mobs around and often require groups of 6+ people.


PS: take a trip to the Human - Alfar border, I think there is a Red dragon there that would keep you entertained for a little while. :sly:

[keeperofstars]

There are 4 "true" dragons the famous red dragon at the large lake just west of monk field, not the the lake bordering monkefield but the next one west. :) he pwn your ass.

There are 3 others, a sleeping one in Ork lands not yet awakened.
One in the frozen tundra continent, (according to lore) etc etc.

There is an undead dragon in middle of the map which is a push over kill, but with tons of hp on him. Killed a few times in beta.

There are a few bone dragons and smaller offspring which are pretty epic fights but are not "true" dragons persay.

We have yet to see / hear word about the demi gods yet either.

Nor is the watcher activevated in his impressive as fuck flying keep.

There also seems to be a shit load of locked areas now, doorways in sides of mountains / inside caves which appear to be openings to even more dungeons / under ground content.

There are several dungeons which have some pretty epic quality mobs as well.

It's all there you just have to go look for it.

[Narcowski]

There's another Fire Dragon on Rubaiyat and yet another on Cairn as well.

[Bobanja]

There is also a Dark Dragon (though this may just be a creature type -- I only saw one that I ran from) on Cairn. And the Fire Dragon there is an asshole for sure.

[Kayos]

There is a Dark Dragon in the Center of Agon as well.

Alright awsome!! thank you very much for the information everyone! very helpful :)

Go explore around the middle of the world, man =) The red dragon is truly awesome- it is the first game I've seen where dragons really use their wings to rape, and not only fly "in stage 2, ok ok nuke it guys so we get it to stage 3 where he lands again".

Or if your smart, find a mob which drops the relevant key to a dungeon and farm them, then go to dungeon and sprint past everything - open chest - leave - saves alot of time (as we found out in beta)

[Dunmer]

According to lore, there's a celestial dragon on Yssat.

why play the game at all?

[yuppy]

4 da phat ass lewts

Thats a stupid argument.

If a game (any game) presents some form of reward which i must work for then im going to obviously find the most quick and efficient way of doing it.

Its like suggesting you increase the longevity of your gameplay by tieing one hand behind your back. As long as they arent outright exploits i dont see why you wouldn't use shortcust where possible.

I had no desire (neither did the guys i partied with regularly) to slowly grind my way through buggy rooms full of tedious creatures like troll lords and night hags which were just irritating to take down with 3 people. Add to that the fact that only the troll lords dropped any loot worth actually using (the occasional high ranked 2h axe) and i had no reason to grind slowly through all that crap when we could sprint the entire thing in like 5 mins get the loot and then leave and do something more interesting.

If AV dont want people doing that they should design their game better.

Id do the same in any game its just most games prevent you doing things like this with something called well thought out game mechanics, they dont (unlike AV) expect you to enforce your own game restrictions and gimp yourself to make up for shoddy design.

[Dovregubben]

Well, some of the mobs in the dungeons drops a pretty decent amount of stuff. Of course, if you find a key you will probably do a speedrun through to get the chest, but farming the mobs in the dungeons for loot is also a viable passtime.

Some of those dragons and mobs sound awesome! I haven't really had a change to delve into dungeons or anything much yet, I am really looking forward to it. I can't wait until the Watcher is added in, I hope there is a live server launch event or something, would be EPIC!

[krugar]

leenspar key = gold for 20 building modules + some drops to flip for more gold.
clan holding entities have serious business to attend to, killing dungeon mobs can wait ;)

I have to say this again :

Why are you actually playing this game ??

You think, AV did a bad game design ? Why do you play ?
Don't have fun with fighting mobs ? Why do you play ?
Don't want to get the bad loot also ? Why do you play this game ?

I don't know, why people are always playing games they don't like....
Why so they hurt themselves with not having fun ?

I really don't get it.

You know what i don't get, why the fuck you or anyone cares what i choose to do with my time...

Fact remains my point is correct and if you read my posts, i DONT PLAY ANYMORE i just come here to listen to the worst arguments in the world while fanbois try desperately to defend the un-defendable with their flaky arguments and faulty logic - its hilarious.

[SupremeMe]

Some people like it, some people dont. Leave it be.

The problem with pve is that theres not exactly a way to legitamitly outsmart the mobs unless you exploit them, all you can do is overpower them. Most mobs have a shitton of hp so basicaly you round up a dozen of your clanmates box in said mobs and spam left mouse button for half an hour and then you get your lewt.

yeah are they going to fix that soon or... do they actually think its fun?

[bongloads]

There's a dead bone dragon roaming called Bone Exarch, near the center of the world, he was about 45 minutes of a solo fight for me. Right next to him i found some named oak/tree thing with a giant glowing staff... he hit harder than the dragon, and had a LOT more HP. I wasn't able to do him that time (out of regents) but hopefully with a few more spells and a properly packed backpack full of pots/regents next time, he could be doable.

Don't get upset with Rodhull;he doesn't play anymore.
How could he have done 1000+ replies in a couple of months if he had his game account active?
He's probably just pissed off he missed his preorder and he spent his time bitching on the forum and crying

Yeah thats it buddy you got me there, im sooo pissed off that i didnt get to pay €50 for a digital download of a beta client i had previously played for nothing and got bored of, yup i just couldnt wait to throw my money down the shitter

Please try to stay abreast of my game situation if you wish to attempt to discredit me.

[nethervoid]

Sounds like mobs need a hamstring move. Problem solved.

[ClockworkOrange]

Exploiting mobs is actually more fun than killing them legit.

You didn't play since beta?

Didn't you stop playing in beta very early in the stages.

Forgive me, but you may be passing judgment on DFO a bit harshly if your basing it on the first few weeks of beta. The game has changed significantly since then.

The named oak mob is a boss called Barudon or Barudov , don't remember well. He hits hard and has a lot of HP.

So far i've also seen an archer skeleton boss that could take down a mount in 3 hits.

And the bone/dark/red dragons.

[Nemesis X]

Someone else see, as me, something wrong with this?
The game barely have a month of life and there are players killing the hardest mobs, doing the hardest dungeons and probably their character are not even 50% developed.. i see some lacking of mid/end pve.. (yeah, ok, the game is pvp, but still..)

The hardest dungeons aren't even open yet lol.

There are plenty of dragons, as well as the flying red dragon that I don't think anyone has killed yet.

There are also several boss mobs talked about in the Lore that don't seem to be implemented yet, but will likely get patched in as the storyline of the game progresses. There's an absolutely massive dungeon in the center of the world that is supposed to be the Watcher's fortress, but there is no Watcher! There's also supposed to be a crypt on Cair with the best treasures left to this Age. On Yssam there's supposed to be a Celestial Dragon. We'll see if these things are on the way.

I got owned by the red dragon on the EASTERn part of the mainland. That thing is crazy and acurrate.
