Sandworm Totally Swallows - Pics Inside!

[Arcanesoul]

For some reason I can see Serket+1 having the Enkidu set, KA+1 the Avalon set, and Guivre+1 that other one. Will be interesting to see once kills come in.

Personally I think the Enkidu's, Oracle's, and Aurum sets drop from the Tier III popped NM's. Hachiryu possibly from the Tier IV.

I think Serket +1 drops Antares Harness, and Antares.
I think King Arthro drops Avalon Breastplate, and Avalon Shield.
No idea about the other two.
Guivre +1 has tentative links to serpents but so does the Lambton worm, so either could drop the Zahak's Mail.
Guivre might be a strong candidate for Cuchulains gear though.
Perhaps the Organics might come from the same NM as Zahak's Mail too.

Knight crabs took normal damage.

Someone posted in the ZNM thread they got Oracle's off the Tier 3 Soulflayer. No screenshot, but if that's true, I'd say it's probably more apt to the Tier 3 NM drops like Arc said.

I'm impressed, they did a hell of a lot with this update, and keeping this a secret was awesome. I wish I would've been sucked in before I found out about it on here, I can only imagine the feeling.

All it needs is a mix of Gogo's theme for me to die happily. Or even just a NPC in red, face hidden, in the deepest depths. That works too.

HOLY SHIT that is cool
Serket/KA/Guvire are real HNM again ;P

So SE, imagine you implement a brand new nasty giant NM/HNM.

How about having it use a tp move "Swallow Whole".

If a player is hit by this they are zoned into a special zone "XXXX's Stomach"

Players swallowed whole are stuck in that zone and have to dodge aggro from/kill Digestor slime mobs tring to kill them.

Players are stuck in this zone until someone kills the monster or they find a part of the "stomach wall" that they can attack and once they deal enough damage to are zoned out of the "XXXX's Stomach" area.

All kinds of cool things could be done with this like having other NMs spawn in the stomach so parties have to get swallowed to get inside to fight them.

New difficulty in party members randomly being swallowed.

Dev team works fast, took them only 5 days to put it in.

This is big, very big. Normally they'd show pictures of new zones like this but they didn't, I might having a little bit too much hope but I still hope for an Ixion SMN from a Light Ixion in storyline or whatever, it has to capabilities of doing so; so imo it could happen.

Are the knight crabs nms? bring a bst and try charming them

These aren't new zones, are they? I thought they were accessible before, through campaign ops.

I did not know that, thank you kind sir, for pointing that out. Nevertheless, this is big; they should atleast show pictures of Serket/KA in a different envirement or such, ANYTHING. They kept this secret so who knows what they kept secret about UPCOMING avatars(Note I said upcoming, right now there are none according to dat miners).

I'm still laughing at the fact they used the Lambton Worm in there as well as the other stuff - go-go semi-obscure local legends from my childhood!

[Synbios]

Niki, I know you said only crits seemed to do real dmg, what kind of dmg are you talking about on crits? Full normal crit dmg, or was it somewhat reduced?

[Niki]

usually 40-50 dmg

[Clynt]

Bring a SCH to do enspells for KA?

[Buuuram]

i was the rng in Merc and i did 2 crits that did 149 and then others was 40-50

[vagus]

[Gerkin]
