Fesitval specific mobs: Killer snowmen and more!

[Khoal]

First off. Malt. Go to the question and answers section. They'll take care of all your billing questions. [;)]

OK, it's a simple idea. Let's have festival specific mobs that only get dusted off and implemented during the time of festivals.

For the Fall Festival: Scarecrows (not strawblights) that have jackolantern heads and straw hats.

For the Winter Festival: Possessed Snowmen. They're based on the oastic model, but instead of the little blob body of the oastic, it's a snowman (complete with tophat). These little guys creep around in the northern climates.

And don't forget Christmas Treants. They look like big walking XMAS trees, complete with blinking lights and decorations. They hit you with Boughs of Holley attacks, or something.

There. Now, what else could we come up with?

(Edit: For the inevitable statement of "there's more important things that need to be done." No. No, there isn't. This idea is the greatest. It totally is. No doubt. And if you don't think so...well, then you'll just have to talk to AA0. It's all his fault. [:D])

Hey, does anyone know why we don't get better prices for signing up for more months?

Just kidding.

How much does it cost to have my billing questions answered there?

Link?

I bought two snowmen, but got billed for five.

Fruitcake golems on insta-respawn.

No matter what you do to a fruitcake, it keeps coming back...

AA0 brought up the idea of a demonic Santa figure on IRC, so I'm posting that here.

So here's another: Demonic Santa, or Surly Santa. A drunk dwarf spirit.

Here's the lore, maybe:

"Each year, the dwarves celebrate the winter festival by exchanging gifts. The traditional gift giver of the clan is always called "Sahntah of the Northern Reaches," an ancestral spirit. Only sometimes, if the person receiving the gifts has been bad, this ordinarily jovial spirit becomes wrathful. This season, people have been especially naughty!"

Edit: The Surly Sahntah is accompanied by his pack of rabid reindeer. Watch out for adds.

Gingerbreadmen! With evil smiles

[Drulgar]

Don't forget Santa's helpers....mad miniature elves.

[Hal`cyon Sskyler]

Giant Chicken + Alpha Blending + Evil = Poultry-Geist

Oastic + Pumpkin + Evil = Bloop-O-Lantern

[Varangaard]

I agree, no winter festival is complete without a christmas tree treant, fully decorated and dropping gift boxes for loot! It's spawn zone should only restricted by the length of its electric cord.

Oh, and everyone with more than 20 gold in pocket should be haunted by ghosts of christmas^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hwinter festival past, present and future.

Gingerbreadmen! With evil smiles

Armed with cookie cutters, of course.

Good suggestions.

If they could drop the random festival mob in all tiers in many spawn locations, that would be sweet. Or maybe just a few selected spawns in a couiple tiers... christmastree decorated cedar treeants on new tris, etc. with blinking lights attack (2 second mezz), exploding christmas presents, and branch scrape.

do same for all tiers. Pick a spawnand convert the mobs. The snowmen should only be in snowcovered areas. scarecrow type mobs would be plains only. none of these mobs fit in the deserts.

The exploding gifts could cast cursed bauble effects on people....

........................... I would rather see them spend their time on the games existing issues than seasonal add ons.

One in every crowd *laughs* C'mon, get in the spirit, this is a fun suggestions thread not a demand for Give Us This Thing Now.

How's about the Sslanis basin deer zerg all get red glowing noses?
