A golem can look like a pile of rocks only to come to life when the unsuspecting newb gets too close...


That would also be awesome/hilarious.

I think I'd rather get off the Island of Dawn AS SOON as possible during release, BAM's would get in the way of getting off the tutorial island.

Yes definitely, I made this suggestion in the beta 4 info thread

It needs to be on iod as if it was near Veika I think it would be a griefing hotspot

Placing it in the last wave of the protecting bridge quest would work well



I'm not saying right outside Velika. Even if it was right outside Velika there's 2 gates into Velika and 3 Bridges and you can swim or take a pegasus out. Anyone able to grief that well has my admiration.

I'm saying way over the west side. Near the coast (*see map)
The Masion to the north would be a perfect spot for Vanarch/Exarch shenaniganry.

This would backfire in their faces. All it would do is piss off all the new players who find the BAM and watch it getting chain farmed by LEGOLASTER.ELFBUNNY901876234.

The noob quest lines already lead to an instanced BAM. That is as good as it can get. Open world BAMs in the nooby area would just end up making people angry.

Honestly, even WATCHING a real BAM fight would be an improvement over what we have now.

And Karascha dies far too quickly to even be called a BAM...

Seriously the first island takes at most 4 hours of gaming... It makes zero since to have a BAM on the starter Island... This won't make people like the game anymore or any less having it or not having it.

If a player is going to like the game they are going to like the game. Sure BAM's are fun but BAM's are not the end all solution to getting people to stay in the game or love the game.

If BAM's were the only reason you like this game then I have a good feeling you wont be around long.

If Emeril Lagasse was a dev, there'd be BAMs everywhere.

Given the game is chock-full of BAMs post-20, I disagree.

It is not the only reason but there have been many "First Impressions" saying that the isle of dawn lacks the action combat that EME raves about. I have to admit I even felt that way but was so engrossed in the amazing environment that I kept pushing to see more. Then I met the baskalisk and then the first real dungeon. It went from easy to wtf was that? in the best possible way!

Yes, please add at least ONE BAM to the island.

Make it roam around with a small aggro range.
