Direhorns possibly getting an improved stampede.

Unread post by ShootsAlot »

Was reading MMO champ and on the notes I found this little thing
•Direhorn Stampede are everything you dream them to be.
and then I scrolled down a little bit more to Promises

We're not making any (except maybe that Direhorn Stampede bit). We're providing you some notes of changes we are currently trying in order to provide you context for some of the other class changes. Many of these may not make it to the live game -- that is the nature of a PTR. As always, we appreciate feedback on any of this.

Sounds like our Direhorn pets are going to be a little more fun to use stampede with, any thoughts guys and girls?

Either it's a sly joke or there's going to be some sort of additional effect that I can't even imagine. Fascinating.

Probably just a joke though - one to pad that section. Direhorn stampedes ARE awesome, though.

They will charge in and gore the enemy, lifting them off the ground and shaking them while impaled. Probably not but it would be cool.

I think it was more a joke because of all the "ONLY ONE CHANGE?!" comments that keep popping up when only one change is listed for a class on the PTR notes. :P

And thereby changing the rating of the entire game with it. :P

It's called a joke. :P Just because the way he described it made it sound extra gruesome.

I want 5 direhorns to run in with bloodthirsty rage, then all circle the enemy, and then rear up and do the bear dance animation.

You know, if there was a way for bears to do that, I'd actually glyph my stampede and run with Ursa. :lol:

Okay, I'll amend that: if there was a way without taking up bag space! ;)

The only thing I can see this as, other than a joke, would be something like, upon being used, non targetable non damaging visual only direhorns are summoned and they simply just run toward the target, and then disappear shortly after, problly being loud and making footprints.
...
Well, I can dream, can't I?

Very interesting. Makes me think. I don't consider it a... joke per-say. I wonder what they're gonna do with Dire Horn Stampede.

Except... DIRE HORNS!

I think that's what GC was talking about. That you get to have your target trampled by a herd of angry triceratopses.

I think he was just referring to the fact that an army of 5 triceratops(es?) is awesome. So basically standard stampede....just looks cool because dire Horns XD

The only thing I can remotely think of is the movie "Mighty Ducks" with their "Flying V". I imagine 5 dire horns performing their ability creating a short time immunity field within the V.

...well at least from the front.

All I can imagine is 5 direhorns all casting their channeled defensive shield spell for 6sec of stampede -_-;;;
