You could always hide in front of pets. Good NPCS is a nice change. Does this fix being able to hide in front of your summons and summons that your party has (fuck you monks)

[eggmceye]

you can hide infront of your summons definitely - I did it for my backstabbing stealthy necromancer on NG

teh beholder

beholder.png

[Mackey]

Awesome!

[Eclips]

Awesome update. Can I suggest making quest items that start on the ground glow white or something? Maybe at least when you have the quest active. Enough maps have items anchored to the ground where it can be easy to overlook them.

[Eclips]

Are the beholder items all supposed to have identical stats, or is that a typo?

The beholder seems underpowered compared to Apoc new sosaria and to the rest of the lair. I dunno what his VOG is supposed to hit for, but with 1700 mr he barely touched my health.

[eggmceye]

yeh he is underpowered

[MoonGoat]

Nice updates. Makes me want to play again.

* added new artifact off hand 'Mark of the Beholder' (rune, +20 int, +regen, +health) <- This one has regen
* added new artifact off hand 'Rule of the Beholder' (rod, +20 int, +mana, +health) <- this one has mana

The regular eye of the beholder is an orb with +20 int, +regen, +mana.

The are all different but similar, just like rogue/warrior/mage bands.

[Djanno]

Wow mega update!

[Mackey]

Beholder lair is a cool little random map. I like that idea, seems easy to implement.

But yeah, seems way too easy for Apoc NS. Maybe make standard heroic and add a heroic version (epic) of that?

[Dudle]

Must play now!

[stegos]

Thanks Egg!

Making it heroic to start would be insane if it stayed full of blood dragons, shadow dragons, etc. It would limit the map to only the highest level players with the highest level gear which would be a good thing.

I don't think every map needs to be insane difficulty, I actually think the map has the right power of monsters to solo or to party. I think that a lot of level 350 characters would have trouble soloing there unless they were fighter.

The monsters in the map are fine without heroic/epic but the beholder should have about the power level of a 2x2 blood lord, also it should drop a crystal coin instead of an item imo. The spells could be summon gazer (with the stats of an epic gazer) or summon shadow imp, AEP, XC, IJO, and CP (necromancer death missile).
