Sad trend[]
Alpha represents a sad trend of just taking existing monsters and bumping up their stats and drops. No originality. Kinda like movie sequels. --

- It is kind of really odd that they would do this, especially for such a new monster. Though... I'm not surprised. We have 4 different colored dragons/sea serpents, why not multiple forms of epic bosses/worldors. But... CA is a for profit game, I can understand the want to not do a lot of extra work and get tons of money for it ;p. Why not stretch what you can get for every monster?...

What if mages/rogues fail to deflect/cripple[]
- How much damage occurs to party health if mages or rogues fail to fill the deflect/cripple bar? Someone said roughly 670k. I know it takes it down from full to approx. 1/3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.69.56.220 (talk • contribs) 22:09, 3 June 2010
- If the mages fail, the party loses 670,000 health. If the Rogues fail, he'll regain 1,15,000 health. It's always these set numbers, it's not relative to his health/party health, or how close the Mages/Rogues were to succeeding. Vincent The Frugal 01:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
- The text says 670k, so we assume that it's 670k. If that takes 1/3 of party's max health (full bar), maybe we just happen to have 2M health. --Hanzou-sama 07:19, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, believe me, it's 670k. I've seen the mages not suceed when the max party health bar is as low as it can go, and the highest it can possibly be. It's always a set 670k damage. As for max health... When I do a 40 energy fortify, I heal the group for roughly 90k, which ends up restoring about 9-10% of the health bar. I would say that the max max health is closer to 1M than 2M. Vincent The Frugal 23:34, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
