Is there any way we could get the gen in gryphons bumped to 4 per person? A ton of people dance with 4 and at the moment they only spawn at 3 per person. When we get 3 or 4 people in there you end up with 1 or 2 people that only have 1-2 gryphons.

Also there's a rumor changes to gryphs make them less desirable overall as well.

I'm pretty sure that this isn't the case anymore.

There's a good reason why you shouldn't believe rumors.

When in doubt, http://elanthipedia.org/

which part? them retreating or the knock-over? because those aren't just rumor, that's fact in their present incarnation.

which makes them ideal for a ranged or TM user - so that's where i train my WM; but not so ideal for a melee-centered barbarian. Although there are other critters at that range that do fill in the gap, which is why I moved my barbarian to caracals. <which would not be a good option for my WM because of their M'riss location, my WM being s'kra mur. My barbarian is not a s'kra. :-)

Oh and last one, DR at any given time has a population of weenies that will criticize at the drop of a hat, don't take things personally it happens to everyone.

Fighting them for 3 weeks and experiencing the same thing repetatively, and then taking action to set myself in a better environment for my characters is not being an "idiot", nor is it being "impatient." Having asked repeatedly whether they were intended to have these actions, not getting a reply - tends to make me believe that the intention is to leave them as is.

>>I'll stand by what I said.

You should. It was stated 3 weeks (or so) that they would be adjusted eventually.

>>Rumors

I am able to handle the same 4 young/fledgling gryphons I was always able to handle with my Barb at that skill range, with a couple minor annoyances that again, are to be looked at in due time when important things are adjusted.

Buuuwl who do you play? You've been claiming to have 'insider knowledge' that has been consistently specious at best.

Adding nothing to the conversation since 1834.

> I play Buuwl (with only two u's you cant choose three) and I claim no such knowledge. Why don't you settle down.

You have done so repeatedly here and in the Barb forums. And I apologize about the name, my phone freaks out about things like that.

You are thinking of the wrong level of gryphons. The ones that do the knock down, and such are mature, and such. The baby, fletchling, young don't do any special moves, nor anything fancy.

>>And this is why we are not supposed to mention specifics from Plat on the Prime boards. The last I heard, it was a bug and not intended to stay, so it just creates unnecessary (if minor this time) confusion<<

I really hope that this doesn't stay active for dr 3.0. I'd hate to see young/fledgling gryphons become a basic wasteland like mature are now. Ranged only critters are just so niche that they tend to not be used very much at all.
