Disagree, they fine now as is the Greater dragons. Of Course Destard is a ghost dungeon as the spawn sometimes gets to a point you cannot handle it.
In my opinion, Ancient Wyrms should never have been killable by one person in the first place. They are basically a boss creature like they should be. Live with it.
*raises hand*
How many here remember when you saw the Silver Serpent in the lost lands you pss in your drawers trying to outrun it,
. Today that poor guy has been nerf so bad that most warriors can swat it, poor serpent needs some 
loving to. So lets quit with nerf crys and go look for something that really needs the attention of the UO Gods. 
amen
Spoken like a true tamer
There...fixed it for you.
I think monsters should get a overhaul since most people in the game are geared to the guts... make it a challenge to leave the town if your still training a character... make it actually thrilling, if you see a orge.. you would have to either be brave.. or run becuase you know it will kill you... Well, I don't care much because I never farmed them.... but the incessant healing they do at the end is what the problem is. Nerf that healing. Maybe they can only heal every 10 seconds or something and then they would die a little better. It is inhumane to let em suffer like that.... Get em down to 20 hp and they heal to 200 and then down to 20 and they heal to 200. Very inhumane. Just let em go without the torture they are put through.
Agrees. I think many of the changes developers have made to the game were made for the reason of getting us all to work togethter again. Since AoS we have become less reliant on those around us, becoming in many aspects sceptical of the players around us. seems we are starting to work our way in the other direction thanks to the live team. (i appreciate it folks!)
Indeed, a decent number of monsters should require multiple people to take down.
Hmmmm when compared to here just how much more of a bump did they receive ?
Why should an ancient wyrm be soloable at all? I remember treasure hunting as an entertaining and challenging night out for our small guild, usually at least 5 of us as a whole. Not 1 guy doing them solo. UO has become a game where too much can be solo'd, where no monster really gets the adrenaline going like they used to. Keep AWs just the way they are. It's a fix that was long overdue, I used to be terrified if I saw an AW, just before the change it was "oh it's just one of those" and any thrill in soloing the AW was non existent.
agrees...
Silver serpents! I was just thinking about them a few days ago. I remember when I first came back after being away for four years, and seeing them all spawn on the last level of the Despise champ spawn, I panicked, only to find out they were basically easier to kill now than giant serpents used to be back in the days when I left. I was disappointed.How many here remember when you saw the Silver Serpent in the lost lands you pss in your drawers trying to outrun it,
Creatures should have more hit points and should be given resists in keeping with their lore. Fire elementals should have 100 fire resist, so that they are completely immune to fire damage. Earth elementals should have way more hit points, and do far more damage, and their resists all round should be much higher, and even moreso when you get into the ore elementals. (Giving a water elemental resists like a greater dragon would be ridiculous, but yes they do need to be buffed.)
Ya that how I remember them
I'd like to see something creative done with treasure. Keep the loot on the mobs the same as it is. But every time you kill a mob, there should be a small random chance that a much better treasure cache would spawn nearby - one that can only be found with detect hidden, and is guarded by a nasty trap that can only be found with detect hidden, and removed with remove trap. (For low end mobs this could be handled with spells, but for high end mobs this should only be able to be dealt with the skills, at high level.)
My first hunt excursion my guildmaster took me on an AW hunt. I earned the name Nikes that night after all they saw was a blur of me running off screen after one peek at the thing *big grin*
They should have the loot of a boss creature... and not of a normal dragon
