Monstrosity Feedback

Could be waiting awhile, the only monsters that are blu/brd are beastmen, no?

As far as BRD, there are large-bird NMs that have that job, so that's a possibility there.

BLU is probably out of luck except as a special case on either flans or soulflayers, though.

There are a number of bird and dragon types that sometimes have brd jobs; small birds, rocs, hippogryphs, dragons (the wingless undead looking ones), and puks. Very few of them actually cast songs (just a handful of roc and dragon nms I think?), but some of them are brds stat/trait wise the same way most crabs are plds.

The only non-mamool blu mobs have afaik been soulflayers, but that doesn't mean we won't see any outside those. Many of the current monstrosity skin/job combinations are not reflective of real mobs. IE: blm/war rabbit|lizard|wivre|antlion, blm/mnk korrigan, etc. They were just something SE put in to make those skins different. So I wouldn't be surprised if there's a blu flan/colibri/whatever eventually.

Greetings,

I'd like to quickly clarify that the lunar phase effects would not be all monsters. This was an error in the original post, which I corrected. The plan is to introduce more monsters that have special properties, and one example are Gnoles who would receive special effects depending on the lunar phase. Apologies for the confusion!

That's better, but still, it will be an annoyance to someone like myself who wants to play a monster and have full access to everything that monster can do while they play as it. I believe I would find it more annoying if I enjoy playing as a Gnole standing, but not as much on all 4s, and at the same time were unable to freely change between the two. Or even worse, if I couldn't during the correct moonphase either, and were stuck in whatever form I ended a battle in.

Will monsters such as ladybugs be affected by night/day then?

Also, please comment on the door situation. I can't be the only person who wants to open doors as a monipulator. I've seen some people claim they've been able to open doors in certain dungeons, but I haven't experienced that. So far, doors have stonewalled me in Gusgen Mines and prevented access to certain monsters in Fei'Yin.

To clarify the monstrosity door situation in dungeons, we’ve made it so you can gain access through doors that we have flagged as okay to be opened, but if there are doors that cannot be opened that are posing problems, please let us know and we’ll look into it.

Already making an epic montage of my monipulator failing to open doors. I reproduced the monipulator trap in Gusgen easily in my second feretory warp. I filmed three videos of my raptor failing to open every door (from both sides when possible) and lever in the mines. I'll edit them together later tonight and post on Youtube. But honestly, I shouldn't have to do this; anyone can do it. Maybe this is monipulator-specific to raptors, but I doubt it. I don't think any of these people claiming to have opened Gusgen doors really did.

Also, we need our "Pouch of weighted stones" to let us open banishing gates in Garlaige simply by clicking the door, which is how it functions in normal form. Currently, it does nothing as a MON. You cannot pretend the banishing gates are unproblematic.

Fair enough.. If PvM happens then having acess to exclusive areas could aid you in recovering for a second round if the NM persists.....

i got thru doors in gusgen jsut fine. I cant remember if i was able to hi tthe lever or if they just opened for me. one time i spawned beehind them adn i just went thru it.

You know you really don't have to make a video for the Devs, a simple "Gusgens won't work" is enough to get them to look into Gusgen, Since they have "Flagged" doors as okay to open I imagine they can simply view the list and go "Oh hey, Gusgen isn't on here".

But yah, I'll say Gusgen and Garlaige should be added to list of approved doors ;x
