    And the dungeon? Rename the game to "heroic encounters and dragons". Yesterday I did the Demogorgon and seemed very simple once zerg fest and this time without the players knowing where to go ( just saw people running as if they were headless chickens). It would be comical if it were not tragic. Btw The idea is good about the mechanics of madness , but what is the real necessity to buy a new set that protects the madness if we have into the fray points where completely cure this debuff?

    Just googling around about it the mullets make no sense either. Shouldn't it be fur?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogorgon_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)

    According to the wiki the heads are supposed to be from a Mandrill (some kind of monkey).

    The one in the trailer (1:33) makes a lot more sense.

    and one hit by these hands you will die like Japanese hentai .... :s

    I've never liked big crowed HEs bursts or things like that... clic clic clic until the enemy die, alongside with a freeze or low fps like Tiamat or Heralds in WoD. I hope Demogorgon to be for fewer people and a more tactical thing. The best would be a hard fight as a dungeon's end boss... but I suppose that will not happen. So, at least, it would be nice something like a 10-man tactical HE, I think of Valindra kind of fight or Cover the Night HE. I don't know, I would just love a dungeon, 5, 8 or 10 people, but a dungeon... like almost everybody else! By the way, I like Demogorgon look.

    It is. One have to run some WOD HE's (yeap big surprise here lol) in order to get some mats to unlock the fight via campaign window (takes few secs).

    Than it's all about getting to the fight and look it up.

    Sadly it took ages to find a full group yesterday so I couldn't have a peek.
    Some folks said that's just another bigger fight aka. HE that can be ZERGed with a bit of coordination and strat.

    Hope I will be able to check it out myself, soon.

    @hquadros care to elaborate?
    What do you mean by saying "we have into the fray points where completely cure this debuff?"

    @kemi1984 better explaining : during the fight your character receives a debuff of madness when it reaches 24-30 (do not remember) their skills are locked and then to unlock them bushy look for a blue healing field that is on the floor and HE appearing randomly. is a real party meaningless players running as if they were headless chickens!
  • kemi1984kemi1984 Member Posts: 849 Arc User
    Wow cool, so after we're locked we need to get to the field in order to use our skills again?
    Uhmm...need to see it myself, but it sounds rather silly :)

    Anyway, thanks for headsup!
