Thread: Incapacitation in 2.0

Instead of a mane dropping 10% of the time at Chimera's death, incapping the Lion head has a 50% chance now to drop a mane, but you have to work at incapping the head.

Something like this we have already, but mostly for horns. Moosy Horn, Aldgoat Horn, Antelope Horn and Buffalo Horn
You need to hit them off the head or you don't get the chance for the drop.

It would be fun to see more monsters use the system - specially on some bosses (where realistic / good looking).

AHHH yessss valkyrie profile.. sooo much incap. Remember that one secret character in VP2, Ceres I think? She started with Dismantle and you could rip mobs apart, it was glorious.

But yes, a true incapacitation is one where the mob cowers/flinches in pain.. maybe throwing them off balance for a second and ultimately inhibiting a skill from their move set. and there's so much room for creativity. ALSO, incaps don't always have to be helpful. I remember in Monster Hunter if you break Diablos' (a bull like wyvern) horns he was unable to get stuck in the walls when he charged at you.

Imagine incapacitating Coincounter's eye and him going on a crazy rampage lol. On the plus side you've just shot off his Eye of the Beholder

I'm sorry I just get really excited about incapacitation.

Good evening!

We checked in with the monster team and they let us in on some interesting incapacitation details!

In A Realm Reborn it will be possible to incapacitate some bosses and this will play a role in the overall battle strategy. As an example, we are currently looking into features where if you break off a monster's horn, their attack pattern will change, etc.

We are also reviewing options that allow users to target parts of the monster that can be incapacitated and make it so the graphics will change if you successfully incapacitate that part.

Finally, incapacitation can be accomplished through both physical attacks and magic attacks.

I might be confused but, were we supposed to have something like that in 1.0 as well?
Will work only for bosses or most mobs as well?
