Lindwurm

[Gorgeous_Joe]

Aside from the prestige of killing it the once, there is literally no point in bothering to kill these things ever again, they are just too much hassle when compared to everything else.

If i fight the usual pack of six, which equates to 12 because of tail and head, you can pretty much guarantee at least someone will die because of RNG.

If i fight a plethora of Bandits I get more XP and their loot plus the contract and virtually no repair bills and next to no chance of someone dying for a tiny bit less coin and once i sell the loot I will usually make more coin.

Farming Orcs is also far less riskier and more profitable.

You can make a crappy armour attachment, some acid flask and a crappy shield from the remains the wurm, so it's definitely not worth killing them for that.

Some contracts are not worth the coin but are worth it because of the rare loot drops which never seem to happen with the wurms.

OR

Am i missing something? Is there really a reason to kill these things?


Also, are these even working as intended as the DLC clearly states this.

“Challenge your mercenary company against a fearsome Lindwurm, an adversary of legend, home to the wild parts of the world and fiercely defending its hoard of treasure.”

Notice the singular and not plural in the wording.

The lindwurm shield looks cool.
It's a unique fight that takes special tactics and is high risk. It offers variety for players looking for variety and can always be avoided by players with no interest in it. Hunting lindwurms is not critical to game play but no battle is critical to game play. The game is designed that player can skip any battle. Except for bragging rights in a single player game, it's not worth much. And as a human life skill, fighting lindwurms is worth nothing. I am certain my obituary will not have the line, "killed seven lindwurms with no losses".

Hi. Yeah OP i very much agree with you.

[turtle225]

The attachment is really good though. I'm usually happy to find Wurms so that I can get the attachments.

But I won't fight them if my team isn't ready. Need to have a few super tanks close to full level for it not to be super risky.

Common bro, be flexible! No one forced you attack them alone! Go bait them into orcs camps or troops castle! And if you want fight alone? Bait tactic! That the only way

Hunting Lindwurms is one thing; BEING HUNTED by 7 or 8 Lindwurms is another adventure ;)

[Estieukua]

My obituary's going to say "killed 7 lindwurms with no losses and with only 26 injuries".

[w.f.schepel]

Lindwurm shields are just not good enough, sadly. However, the armour attachment is brilliant. Also, if you want to take out the kraken in reasonable time, the acid bomb is quite nice to have.

Still not a fight I particularly like. Even with super tanks it only takes two lucky rolls to be in serious trouble.

The zone control change on the tail was what made me avoid them. Used to be fun to hunt em and be able to position easily but not worth the trouble now.

You realize you could kill any number of lindwurms with a single naked level 1 dude? That alone was reason enough to add zone control on the tail.

Sure, you could no life solo lindwurms so what? 99+% of normal players dont do dumb stuff like that.

You can also use single naked level 1 dude to kill group of 10+ barbarian chosen too. Reload save like 300+ times before success, maybe?

Aye, that's how balancing is done. Let's leave the broken feature there and ask players not to exploit it. Good point.

I mean, you can let ♥♥♥♥ players exploit it if they want.

You don't have to ask players not to do anything nor bring it to the attention of those who don't use it.

Why stop there? Let's add a perk that permanently increases all stats by 100. If they players want, they can use "dumb stuff like that", just let them.

Or maybe get rid of broken features, and instead add modding support so that the players can do whatever they want. Oh, wait. The devs already did that.

[Grimwulf]

Heh, someone has a bad day. Lindwurms are supposed to be giant lumbering serpents - how does making them faster than humans make any sense? Rhetorical question, don't bother answering. In fact, maybe stop posting and get some tea. Cheers.
