[X] My Assistant

I think my pet Rincewind did his first kill around PL ~35ish

edit : not kill, rather battle won.

Also IIRC when i started playing HV in may, i didn't see any custom mobs until i hit level 25. Not sure if this is still the case.

Is there a minimum limit monster has to be, before is can meet people ?
I mean, If I make these monsters, will one of them never get to kill anyone ?
Monster - lvl 3
Monster - lvl 6
Monster - lvl 9
Monster - lvl 12
Monster - lvl 15
... and so on.

My monsters below 30 are still 0 wins 0 kills. They do also suck...

They will be in game with PL 1 but will be among the weakest mobs. So it will be hard for them to kill anything.

Yeah ok.
Just like SneakyGray mentioned in another thread (what did your monster bring)
My monster also brought home loot with 0 wins and 0 kills.

Because the chance increase with time too.

To clarify things, is that first time only? Or they have brought you more presents?
There's a big difference.

Becuase my monster also brought me something at PL 0. Then it didn't bring me any present.

When I made a new monster I got them to level 25-30. In that range they seem to get into the most battles. My 2 best killers are level 35 with a record of 1142/582 and 205 with 1498/534. So i'd get them to 25-30 range and leave them.

My 0:0 monster (Pl 8) only brought me one gift. nothing more.
my 7:0 monster (PL51) hasn't brought me anything.

Since the chance is 5% for a monster without wins since the last check, i just have baaad luck.

that sounds like a good idea. i'll bring Detritus from 8 to 30 and see how that'll turn out

Since I can't be absolutely certain if the gift my monsters brought with 0 win/kill.
I'll post as soon as I know. (in an arena right now)
I did make them after the patch. But still I think they'll come bearing gifts without wins.
Will confirm soon as I know.
I write down my monster progress every morning, so I check them at least once a day.
Now I'll keep bothering my 0 kills until they give me something.

Monsters can bring gifts without getting any wins, but the odds are very low. (1%)

Monsters that were created before the patch would have brought a gift immediately as long as they had at least one win, since as far as the system was concerned, they didn't bring one since January 1st 1970.

Wouldn't this be abusable?
Or did you make it so that kills by your own monsters don't count?

Do you have any plans for Mini Bosses, Bosses and above? Since they will appear rarely they will not get many wins > less loot.
So upgrading would be a bad Idea.

If I had to guess, I'd say they would have a higher win to appearance ratio than normal mobs as a miniboss+ should have some additional power modifiers to make them worthy of the name... but mostly that the quality of the loot received would be adjusted to compensate for the lower appearance frequency.

Has it been confirmed that monsters could be upgraded to mini-bossa and above? it seems like a rumor to me.

Nope. Just a rumor. For now.

No, but I probably should.

There aren't any technical classifications like that for custom mobs, so upgrading them to "boss grade" won't make them appear less.

So we won't be able to make actual bosses with fancy orange color, HP Tanks and stuff?

Absorb is pathetically useless now that 99% of enemies in the game are custom, but the only classes strong enough to survive to actually use Skills all use physical attacks.

Are there any plans to make very strong custom mobs have their own type of trophy drop? I ask since the dragonkin at the end of the last arena clearly have legendary like stats yet drop nothing. If you are going to insert unique monsters at the end of an arena, why not have a unique drop, like with Trio? Also having the last enemies of the last arena drop nothing is pretty lame.
