Giant Monster for the Hollows

[Ice Ember]

The Hollows is neglected and as a hazard zone is without a giant monster.

 

Add a Magmite giant monster.  Have him spawn after 100 of the pumacite are defeated and have him spawn with two equal level spawns so it is a challenge for all levels and not only easy merits for a GM.

 

I know you can do Cavern of Trancendence, but leave it as is.  

 

A giant Troll monster in the caves would be cool too. 

[Cancrusher]

Great suggestions.   Also, how about a Kaiju Apocalypse event like the Nemesis and Rikti Invasions where giant monsters simultaneously pop up and rampage all over the city?  😁

Koago, come out and plaaaay!

Meh. don't really think it needs one, personally. (Nor would I want to be flattened by one running a sub-level-10 character around trying to do missions. )

Maybe what the Hollows needs is a flood event for the Red River.

[Rudra]

Nope. The Hollows does not need a giant monster. Not from the Igneous. Not from the Trolls (which makes no sense as they are still human). Not from the Circle who already have a giant monster (in Nerva). Not from your choice of deity, cosmic entity/event, or unnamed group.

 

A flood event from the Trolls damming the Red River? Sure. Another giant monster stomping around because people seem to want a giant monster in every zone? No.

Sounds fun to me and adds a badge maybe.

Badge hunters are always looking for more badges.

 

More seasonal giant monsters would be nice as well.

     Whaaaat!

     Part of the charm, as a newb in the Hollows, is turning a corner, hopping a boulder or exiting a mission and getting splattered ... isn't it?  My poor scrapper still wakes suddenly recalling putting the team lead on follow, hopping a rock and catching a house-sized pebble to the face thrown by a very purple Ogre before she even reached the bottom of the Gulch she'd unknowingly leaped into.

     I personally wouldn't mind some creature/event for the Hollows.  It's a favorite zone where I cut my teeth in my first MMO many years ago in i3.  But there does seem to be a call for a monster in every zone these days.  Hollows was is special I'd want any new event to be equally special.

I prefer to have more world events and not just a GM but if i have to choose between a new GM and nothing,  i will choose a new GM.

 

And they dont even have 100 feet of vision.  I wouldnt take into consideration that less then 600 square feet of a zone will become a lowbie death trap.  They can go around.

Maybe have the giant lava monster from the trial spawn in the middle of the crater when someone completes the trial. 

[SwitchFade]

Yes vote, magma GM sounds great

[JasperStone]

A giant lava monster does sound cool, but as it has been said, I don't think every zone needs a Giant Monster.

 

I do prefer the flood event. Maybe akin to one of the iTrials (Underground?) where you race through the tunnels stopping charge.

[Turric]

I would be ok with this. However of higher priority, IMO, would simply to add more magma bosses. It is one of the kill tasks that I struggle to complete.

[kelika2]

The Magic Origin place in Atlas still gets looted/raided a few times a day, right?

I can see handfuls of elite bosses/bosses of hellions/skulls playing king of the hill or fighting over a random neighborhood

[SeraphimKensai]

The Hollows has a monster. It's just stuck in it's lair under the tunnels. Kaogo.

*Tries picturing the proposed Arachnos bank robbery event* *Can't picture Recluse, Ghost Widow, Mako, Scorpion, or Scirocco stooping to robbing banks*

 

Uhm... no... attacking the city? Sure. Robbing a bank? No.

 

(Edit: I don't see why level 50+3 incarnate players rob banks though... so... I guess? As players, we are limited to bank robberies as the culmination of doing papers though, so it's less a bit of logic and more a theme we are bound to. Arachnos forces are seen in safeguard missions, but that seems less an Arachnos operation and more a sub-faction of Arachnos operatives being ordered to support the (not but still may be according to the List from Kalinda) Destined villain or making money on the side.)
