Seriously. Dragon's Crowne. The monty python rabbit is the 3rd hardest boss in game.


Image

This thing right here can summon tornados and it's bite is a one hit kill.

I get the reference, and this was funny as hell, but it's the second hardest boss (after final boss) if you don't consider story positioning (there is one that is harder but only because you face it at a lower level). And fighting it is frankly a pain in the @#$. This bunny rabbit can literally wipe out an entire party of level 30 adventureres single handedly. The level cap is 35. Who comes up with this stuff?

You guys should check out the Diablo III demo even if you aren't going to buy the game. I played the Demo last night and it was 3 hours long (You gotta have 1.3Gigs available). I was exploring every little nook and cranny so you can probably blast through it in 2 hours if you tried, maybe shorter. It allows for 3 different difficulty settings so it can be set to be challenging. There are multiple mini-bosses in the Demo along with the first Boss you fight in the game. Which is rare. Most Demo's I play let you get right up to the first boss and then cut you off at the first 5 seconds of the cut scene before the fight. There's 2 playable characters (Mage/Barbarian, no you don't get to play with the supercool Demon Hunter or Monk) in the Demo so you could get a good 5 hours or so of playability for the price of FREE.ninety-nine.

As someone who played the game for quite a while, the game is only fun the first time through with each character. Once you have gone through with each person on Normal, it just becomes really repetetive for people who aren't addicted to the loot system. And it only escapes repetetiveness before then because the characters are well designed.

Stop playing games in normal mode and move on to Hell Mode with the Hard Difficulty set!

This is the actual description from the wiki:

"Nearly all of the Killer Rabbit's attacks are capable of Stunning players, particularly its multi-bite attack and stomping attack. The only exceptions being its Whirlwind attack and its one-hit kill bite so simply standing toe-to-toe with it is not a great idea. Melee characters should wear it down through hit-and-run tactics, using short combos before moving away and coming back after its attack animation. Ranged classes will simply have to stay out of melee range and avoid its Whirlwind attack as best as they can.
As the fight drags on, the Rabbit has a tendency to use its one-hit kill maneuver where it emits a bluish aura for a moment and starts glowing red. When it is in this state, it will do a single jumping bite attack that instantly kills its target. It causes an x-ray image to appear on the victim that shows a large part of their skull breaking off. The Rabbit will jump twice in this state before the effect ends if no players are hit. Look out for the initial startup animation and immediately move away from the Rabbit.

Poison and Fire damage works well against the Rabbit as these elements inflict damage over time which help wear it down.

If you take too long to defeat the Killer Rabbit, knights will pour in along with a crate of bombs in an attept to kill the Killer Rabbit. However, you won't earn the talisman or treasure this way."

They really went all out with the Monty Python reference didn't they? I wasn't sure until the first time that happened........ then I had nothing to say but "ni".

Do you play solo or with a "raiding party?" I used to play WoW and it was WAY more fun with a group. But having to grind out Honor for factions, I completely understand what you mean by boredom setting in when you have to do the same thing over and over and over and over. I would never level all 5 characters though, I normally stick to 2 characters in games like this.

Well I hit the level cap with the demon hunter.
Everyone else I just went through with until the first time I killed Diablo. Just for a change in combat tactics.

Unlike previous games, you are too reliant on your equipment. Diablo 2 had insane personal customization when it came to leveling up, where Diablo III........ Diablo III is almost completely equipment based. Go find the best piece of equipment you can. Put it on. Congratulations, your stats are higher. And the paragon levels were and are ridiculous to get for a game with this kind of combat.

I just hit a dead end where the game wasn't fun anymore. Even with other people. Because I don't care about the loot system enough to be invested in that....... and there really isn't anything else once you try every character.

This is the first day of it and I'm already tired of being sick. I was just sick two months ago, so I'm honestly not sure how I got ANOTHER cold already. Anyone else under the weather?

Nah, no kids here. Just a college student, so there's a slew of people I could have gotten it from (namely my Macroeconomics teacher). I wouldn't mind it as much if I hadn't been sick such a short time ago.

Don't forget Hemp is a cure all.
Makes your cold feel better, good for weight gain, forgetting prior commitments and you can make rope out of it.

What were we talking about?

Not my cup of tea, honestly. I'm content with being sober (minus medicine) throughout my life.

As for the previous topic, it appears to have been about excessively deadly rabbits and their effect on human population.

Did you ever see how far you could make it in Hardcore/Hard Mode with a Lvl 1 character? That sounds like it could be an interesting way to kill a day.

24 REBOUNDS!!!! TWENTY-FOUR!!!! Why the hell couldn't Dwight Howard pull down 24 rebounds when he was with the Lakers? Oh yeah, because he played like a bum when he was in LA.
