I think this is an absolutely amazing addition to the game! Its a great and terrifying feeling coming across one of these nasties. Especially when doing that daunting first trek from noob river to Sepermeru. And this brings me to my point…
I just have a bit of a hard time identifying the corrupted mobs. The glowing eyes are very visible and a good idea in my opinion. I think it would be great if you could make the eye effect visible from allot further away. And one suggestion is seeing as they are corrupted maybe add like a purple smoke effect on them like with the obelisks? Not over the top but just a little to add to that corrupted feel.
The corrupted sandreaper is a bit of a problem though. They have no eyes, which makes them difficult to spot. And yes, they are pink/fleshy color but IMO I think a more dramatic color and texture would be easier identifiable and would look allot more intimidating than pink.
I honestly kind of like not knowing if I am about to get stomped by a super strong version of the same beasties I normally drop with ease. It seems more fair that they get a fighting chance to even the score.
However, maybe the starting river would be a good place to make them more visible. New players may not understand why they can kill one but the other is suddenly so terrifying.
Valid point. If anything I think specifically the Corrupted Sandreaper just needs a bit more love. But I totally get what you are saying. I’m still a bit on the fence leaning more to clearer visibility from farther away. XD
The Corrupted wolf model is my favorite! It looks so menacing and hungry…
I wish there was a way we could corrupt our food when taming and have the corrupted versions.
I like know, and do a choice, it’s also a playstyle, or you fight because you may be able to handle, or you change your road. I think clever choices is better than stupid run in all things.
But that’s me.
When i started a new game after these guys introduced, i was happily surpised by the first shaleback i saw at the noobriver. It’s darker, with glowing eyes. Not to much, just enough so that if close enough you see there is a difference, without knowing what exactly. I fought it then and saw that this guy was much stronger, especially for a new char.
I think a difference is good, but it should not been seen from to far and not to spectacular. The bit darker color here, the glowing eyes what just what was needed. Other beasts may need other features, like the mentioned sandreapers.
Glow, hmm not sure, if then just little, not a big cloud around them please !
Also while people still love make pets with all, i think corrupted should stay wild, yes, because they’re corrupted, and so not tamable, theyr mind get lost and crazy with time. Forget it !
Yeah, I am a bit of a barbarian/viking and just charge in…to a quick demise
Thank you for your feedback. I am slowly getting to the other side of the fence with the rest of you guys.
Still would like to see a more dramatic looking corrupted sandreaper. And yes, NO CLOUDS! Just a little corrupted smoke
