Revamping Seed of Hami (First Ward)

[CU_Krow]

I looked and did not see a thread on this topic yet.

 

When the game came back, one of the things I was excited for was league-events (e.g. MSR, incarnates, CoP), but when it came to Seed of Hami, I was EXTREMELY disappointed.

 

For a gigantic monster that moves around and terrorizes an entire map zone, giving out monstrous roars that can be heard from a distance.....only to be taken down by a league of 1.5 teams in less than 7 minutes......it's comparable to an April's Fools joke. I vote we revamp Seed of Hami monster, make it more difficult to bring down, and maybe increase rewards. Otherwise it'll remain a GM in a zone that people pay little interest to, only if they're badge collectors and want to add it to their collection. Heck, I find it more difficult tracking down Sally in Croatoa than I do bringing down this GM.

 

Current Seed of Hamidon rewards:  5 Reward Merits, the Germinator Terminator badge and the Devourer temporary power (+15% mexp and inf for 30 min)

 

Revamped Example for an increased difficult SoH GM:  25 reward merits, Germinator Terminator badge, and reward option list (e.g. choosing between addition merits, incarnate slot, or longer term temporary power).

I mean...that's what the Seed.  It's more or less a "normal" GM, with one extra little mechanic (like, say, Lusca).  It's not, and never was, meant to be a raid.

From what I recall prior to shutdown, Seed of Hamidon was essentially meant to be "Baby's first Hamidon raid."  It was meant to give level 20 to 29 characters a taste of raid mechanics in Hamidon raids and Incarnate trials.

That's what it is - a GM/zone event on par with Lusca or Eochia/Jack in Irons.  It's not an endgame raid and was never (NAICT) meant to be.

[Beul]

It's nothing more than a GM/zone event.

Only 5 Merits and a badge?  No wonder nobody does it.  Heck don't see many people in First Ward in general.

 

Maybe it could be part of an accolade or a bit more Reward Merits?
