I've noticed that since the new exp change that people will camp in the very few gryphon rooms near rossmans for hours on end. Sure, I could go elsewhere to train my primaries, but it sure would be nice to maybe see an expansion of this area or perhaps some mechanic like an elder gryphon that boots folks back to town after a given amount of time.

Just a thought.

>>Or make it so mature and elder gryphons don't fly

I find that flying creatures tend to be weak when you can actually hit them. If you take away their flying, they will be compensated elsewhere.

Try using magic, ranged, or a pole-arm? I am fighting flying creatures right now using the above and it is lovely.

Thats the reason I won't hunt them. I don't mind the thunderclap or being knocked down, but not learning defenses is a deal breaker for me.

Ditto. I really wanted to like those guys, and would have stayed if they didn't fly. Shoot, the thunderclaps never hit me, anyway.

That probably won't be (as much of) an issue once I finish overhauling the combat mechs.

Dart,

Are there any plans to fix the issues with flying creatures with the combat rewrites? i.e. enchantes not being 'in range' to hit them, or the fact that they can instantly jump back into the air after being knocked down?

I really don't mind the flying in theory but it would be nice if we could target body parts to make it so they cannot fly anymore and/or if they had a timer on getting back into the air. Right now it's a little skewed to the flying side of things.

Thanks
