Treasure Goblins in Path of Exile?
|
This thread is to discuss the idea for Path of Exile having its own version of D3's treasure goblin.
When I was playing D3, before Path of Exile rescued me from eternal boredom, I would have to say that the treasure goblins were my favorite part of the entire game. I cannot imagine how much fun a treasure goblin type character would be in Path of Exile since this game did itemization correctly. There is no chance that any of you dislike D3 more than me so please don't post something like.....POE should never borrow anything from D3!!! So if you are interested in this idea then please post suggestions for how Path of Exile could put its own spin on this idea and how it can be improved from D3's version. Devs: Have you guys ever considered doing this before? Is it even worth discussing? Thanks Standard Forever Last edited by Raycheetah#7060 on Sep 20, 2012, 3:45:08 PM

There are already mobs with the so-called "Wealth" affix ... they'll drop a huge variety of items.

" I agree with this, however even if this weren't true I would like to see something more like a treasure goblin. Treasure Goblin= NPC that notices you and then runs like the wind because he is carrying a ton of loot and knows that you want it! If you can catch and kill him before he gets away then you get a big explosion of loot. Now what exactly the loot should consist of is up for debate but I would say that it should at least have a couple rares and then a slightly higher chance for orbs or uniques. I loved the adrenaline rush I got when playing D3 when I ran into these guys. It was particularly fun when you would accidentally send the guy running and then be yelling at your partner to come help. I also like how your fun greed can get you killed....I know I died a time or to by ignoring the enemies that were nearby. Standard Forever

Do a search. You didn't? *Slaps forehead*
Prior to the stress test in May/June, this topic popped up all over the place along with the Golden Axe Goblin. Especially brought up by previous D3 players, such as yourself. Don't be lazy, do a search and find out what happened to this idea. Since you joined in July, some of these treasure goblin topics would have cropped up. You would've read them. Post in a necro thread about it. POE is a constantly evolving game, so expect balance changes, buffs and nerfs STILL!

A little while after this accident
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/8272/ they implemented "of Wealth" Sidenote: It works better than Goblins. You don´t see it coming You can get killed by other monsters when it happens Lootexplosion included After your first meeting with them, you´ll want more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drDs-Y5DNH8

Your right I didn't and I figured it may have been brought up before but newer players like myself may not have seen them and I wanted to get a fresh take on the topic.

" The wealth thing is cool but its not the same for me at all. Goblins were exciting because they run from you and you have to get them before they escape. The wealth guys are cool to find but theres no worry about them getting away. They are going to die easy just like everything else :) Standard Forever

It's not like the wealth goblin was original to Diablo 3.
If I recall correctly the first appearance of the creature was in Dungeon Siege, and Dungeon Siege 2. It's not like they made a completely new revolutionary game with their own ideas so. I +1 treasure goblins, hell it doesn't even need to be a goblin but something that fits the PoE genre and IP. |

" Nope. First appearance was in old popular game called Golden Axe. |
