So with age of sorcery they took that feat away so can’t create wights and skeles and monstrosities. Multiple inquires yielded the idea it would come later on.
Well here we are in the last chapter and nothing. You can admin spawn them but that’s about it. Or if you had a couple legacy thralls you were in luck.
I’m not digging the zombies or these golems. Just not my thing. I want skeletons, wights. Albeit a vampire would be kick ass lol.
Anyway, so what’s the deal? It’s dead after all? Yes pun intended
I dunno where you think you heard that, but that’s never been concretely stated. They may consider integrating the assets back in some way or another, but that’s not a guarantee.
Nostalgia aside, witch doctor was dumpy. The undead were always worse than live thralls and nobody I’ve ever played with bothered with them outside of visual novelty. If they ever do make a return, once again they’ll be cast aside by 99% of the playerbase as they were before.
The stuff in the Witchdoctor feat was relegated to content for modders to use. FC decided they weren’t exactly up to the quality they wanted for the base game. Zombies were the direct replacement.
In what regard? Any “superiority” they have is completely artificial due to the novelty of them being instantly level 20. But the fact that they decay in such an extremely short period of time is certainly a massive downgrade. Also, the “superiority” of their stats comes from the fact that you are using the best human thralls to base their stats from, where as the witch doctor followers were, for the most part, the same as your animal pets. But again, they didn’t just go away after a day or two so yeah, still not “better” to have such temporary zombies. And don’t forget the artificial “superiority” that comes with the sorcery potion that just lets you re-roll feats to get the best stats you could want from your zombies (or other pets) that didn’t exist during the witch doctor days. So in all, any “superiority” you claim that zombies have is fleeting at best and artificial at most. Thus, they are a piss poor excuse for a replacement as I stated previously.
I’m sorry but a follower barely breaking 1,000hp at level 20 is far inferior to even the weakest zombies. Even with them being temporary, you can farm up several strong T4, Berserkers, and Treasure Seeker zombies in quick order from several location, compared to the singular dust location you need for Legion Warriors…
It’s also worth noting they would have received the pet hammer as well… so enjoy the memories of what they were rather than what they would have been… the only one really worth keeping was the legion warrior and his health was garbo even before the pet nerf.
Speaking from an Rp aspect. It’s undead. It makes sense. What’s the diff btwn those and pet hyenas lol even great pets die … great fun from Rp perspective but virtually useless in a fight. So what’s the diff between a crappy skeleton and crappy lesser pet. Cool factor imo
The new system uses zombos as a thrall replacement, so it matters a bit. They could still bring back the skins in the context of the new necromancy system (with some dressing up for newness). It won’t be witch dr though the way it was. It would be some kind of interactive system that fits with sorcery. They can still be modded in the old way (I do) but once any new system for getting Silent Legion Warriors, I will be ditching the old fully.
I would LOVE to have wight thralls as guards. I really wish Funcom put them back in some form. I would even be willing to pay money for them. Some sort of skin for thralls, or maybe cursed armor that makes you look like a wight. It doesnt need to be witch doctor as such, but since the skins exist in the game files, just put it to bazaar in some form…
Yeah, except that Zombos are not permanent. What I want is permanent guards that look like wights to guard my mage tower…
Yes but sorcery has a theme now, and undead are done being permanent pets. By thrall replacement I didnt mean to imply same as thralls; its in lieu of thralls.
There are many “useless” thralls that are still in the game. Like Frost Giants. But they serve nice RP addition as base decoration. I see no reason why these were removed as they were quite unique. I wish devs bring them back as I see no harm to have them.
