Hello GM's,

Was hoping you might consider adding a few new rooms to the lava drakes area. Seems like a lot of players are now hitting that area's skill range, which is great. However at nighttime especially... each room is packed with 2-3 (sometimes even 4) people per room. People get pushy about their rooms... and while some people will share, the real solution here is a few more rooms!

Maybe expand out the rooms in each corner to go out one more? I am sure lots of people would welcome this change with open arms! It is a good thing to see so many people hunting drakes now, but a little love would go a long way here!

Woot. Thanks for taking notice!

Why is it that people are so desperately overcrowding the drakes while the seemingly good alternative is almost completely abandoned? I think this only proves that the special abilities on wyvers are a little disproportionately harsh and those two problems could be resolved by a simply re-balancing those abilities? It must be really bad if there's literally no room left in drakes but no one is still willing to touch wyverns no matter what.

I could be missing something since i don't really hunt either of those two but something certainly doesn't smell right.

The short answer is Wyvern special attack is ridiculously overtuned, and melts armor when it hits thus requiring repairs much much faster. Drakes have a special defensive attack but frankly its not as frustrating to deal with. Thats the simple fact of it.

>I gave adult wyverns a fair chance, but their special attack sucks. Even with nearly 800 Athletics and the mechanical wings I'd still come away with a broken leg and bleeders when they caught me with it. I would be lucky to lock a single weapon before I had to leave and get healed, and to make it worse the Shard auto-healer stays pretty busy. I'd rather share a room in drakes than deal with wyverns.

This for me, too. I love wyverns and don't mind special attacks, but I've had to skip adult wyverns altogether because of this one. I'd rather deal with a knockdown, immobilize, stun, web, fair chance at a small bleeder or anything else. I don't mind the naphtha attack either. As it stands, however, it doesn't matter if you can dodge wyverns all day; you'll still randomly get trashed by that one special leg attack. And, this is coming from someone who's appreciated the challenge and diversity of attacks from some creatures like adan'f and malchata over the years.

The only time I'm in favor of severely damaging random attacks is when there's a fairer chance at a save, or it's a rare creature that drops above average loot.

>>Special attacks in general are broken

The one that really bugs me is Assassins.
