Beholder procs

Postby Dezzex » Sat Jan 11, 2003 10:10 pm

I'm curious as to why there are two versions of beholder eye-procs... one seems to be the 'old' version, that is un-ANSIed and whose tenth eye is deadly and seemingly very little chance to save vs. I've seen the beholder in UM2 and the stalk-of-the-deep in Oakvale use this version.

Then there is the newer colorized eye-procs, which beholders in Hulburg use, and aren't as absurd in terms of insta-killing you.

A beholder named 'Ylantha' misses you with its bite.
A beholder named 'Ylantha' glances at you with his first eye.
You somehow resist the will of a beholder named 'Ylantha'!
A beholder named 'Ylantha' glances at you with his seventh eye.
A beholder named 'Ylantha' glances at you with his tenth eye.
You feel yourself falling to the ground.
Your soul leaves your body in the cold sleep of death...
Your globe shimmers, and fades into the air.
Your dragon scales melt back into your regular flesh.
Your magical shield shudders and vanishes.
Your body returns to its normal size.
Your body returns to its normal size.

Haha, I know beholders are superpowered, but this might be a bit much.

10th eye pwns j00!

sux0r it up =D

PS - disint ray is a different topic. I'm all for death, but eq loss possibilities are a bit much, if there's no warning beforehand like there is with dragons.
