Talk:Giant Monster

Devouring Earth Creatures

The big Devouring Earth creatures are listed here. Last time I checked, they were just Monster. Is the article incorrect or do they sometimes spawn as Giant Monster? --GuyPerfect 18:13, 11 February 2007 (PST)

its incorrect, they're always monsters. o.o its just a common goof up that alot of ppl seem to make. --Sleepy Kitty 20:29, 11 February 2007 (PST)

There is one time that a DE Quarry appears as a Giant Monster, which is during the Eden Trial. Screeny -- StarGeek^{Talk page} 23:57, 26 October 2007 (EDT)

Damage delt

I removed the line that said "* The more characters attacking a Giant Monster, the less damage it will deal to individuals when it attacks. [Needs verification]". From various battles with Eochai, this appears to be untrue. It's more likely a result of various debuffs laid upon the GMs. I didn't matter whether I was solo or there were multiple teams. Damage delt didn't change until the debuffs wear laid. -- StarGeek^{Talk page} 23:57, 26 October 2007 (EDT)

Further verification, a small (5 person) team I was with that had debuffers took little damage when attacking Eochai. Later, when attacking a different Eochai, 2 teams/10 people, all Blasters/Tankers/Scrappers (no Trollers/Fenders at all), the damage stayed the same throughout, with a few deaths. More people did not equal less damage. -- StarGeek^{Talk page} 16:58, 28 October 2007 (EDT)

Despawning

I have personally observed this effect on two occasions: Kraken, in perez, and Kronos, after the appropriate mission. I suspect it may NOT be true for the Halloween Giant Monsters, and may not be true for the Devouring Earth monsters in Peregrine Isle. --Jumping Jack 19:09, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

What, despawning? What are you trying to say, exactly? Imagine running around and seeing the rotting corpse of the monster you defeated ten days ago... --GuyPerfect 19:14, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

I'm going to have to disagree with that. Kronos (and TF Babbage) will despawn, since they are a special case, being part of an ambush. But I've attack various GMs many times in order to find out their exact spawn site /locs and various resistances. I've seen them stay in place after the attack for days, and several times on Test, for more than a week. -- StarGeek^{Talk page} 22:37, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
