That's going to be a lagfest. If anyone goes, snap some pictures of Cuppa as screenies.

Don't forget to record the information so you can post it here. That way others can go at the GM when it comes to Live. I'll sadly be working that night most likely so I won't be able to attend the event. -_-

And where exactly does one find this Hami like monster? An upcoming zone?

I second KLaw, and push for a vote of.... what is Caleb supposed to be? Giant Monster such as Deathsurge or an actual villain-like character with its own story?

I wondered what it was too so i went to the main boards and found this

QUOTE

Here's everything we know about Caleb:

# He's the Giant Monster for Nerva Archipelago (equivalent to Ghost of Scrapyard, but harder)
# He is NOT spawned on a random timer like other Giant Monsters. He will only spawn based on player triggered events - Confirmed by CuppaJo + GMs (see below for quotes)
# Caleb appears as a Giant Nerva Spectral Daemon - and has the same resistances
# According to the Badge text for killing him, Caleb is most likely to spawn in or around the Thorn Isle

Here's everything we've discovered about the strange land known as Thorn Isle, starting from the outside, in:

1. The beaches are surrounded by mobs who make "fire" that they call a "warning" and a "beacon". The MOBs also say "we must protect the sacred fires"

2. There are possessed scientist both in the beaches and inside the isle. The CoT near them say "the summoning is not yet complete"

3. The island is symetrical is several ways.
# There are 2 large sacrificing/ritual/summoning circles, on the North and South points of the outer ring.
# There are 2 stone hands on opposite ends of outer ring
# There are 2 altars with pillars of light rising up on opposite sides of the Thorn Tree in the inside of the Isle. They are surrounding by spawns of CoT with up to 3 bosses + LTs/minions. They say "the beach has been breached!"

4. There is a barrier around the inner island. Inside the island, there are selas/runes that make up the barrier, and the barrier twinkles. The stone heads with red circles above are mission doors, inc. one of the respec missions.

5. The mobs spawn very very quickly after you kill them. To prevent their respawning, you must keep a character still on their spawn point.

6. There are Devouring Earth (DE) all around the outer ring of the isle. They are inanimate rocks and trees, but can only be targetted/attacked when they animate due to a player coming near them.

7. There is a single lvl 43 Behemoth (cons Red to lvl 40 players). He spawns at the Northern summoning circle and wanders around the isle.

How to trigger Caleb:

Possible steps involved in the trigger:

# Kill all Nerva Demon spawns on Thorn Isle within 1 12 hour in-game day/night cycle

# Kill X Nerva Demon's around Thorn Isle during day/night cycle

# Kill all MOBs around beach fires

# Leave players at destroyed beach fire spawn points to prevent respawning

# Kill all MOBs around north/south summoning circles in outer ring

# Kill all MOBs inside the inner ring of Thorn Isle

# Leave players inside inner ring to prevent MOB respawning

# Bring Possessed scientists to the north/south summoning circles (and/or kill them there)

# Bring Possessed scientists to the altars in the inner ring (and/or kill them there)

# Bring the lvl43 Behemoth to one of the circles/altars (and/or kill him there)

For the "bring" tasks, using TP Foe will be attempted where possible.

Order of completing the above tasks may or may not matter(unknown), but doing it in a time frame *is* important

There is a possibilty we have to do things in parts of the zone outside of Thorn Isle as part of the trigger, but that's unlikely.

Where might Caleb spawn:

If he doesn't appear in an obvious place on Thorn Isle itself, he might spawn at the Nerva Wreck (raid meeting point).

Here's why:

# If you look at the badge for Nearva Wreck it says "you have vistited the strange nerva wreck. What strange creature could have caused this disaster?" - Prob a reference to Caleb
# in CoH the maps that came with the game had a few clues to the giant monsters. If you look at the map that came with CoV there is a big X on map near the nerva wreck

Boy...this seems like it will require a ton of teamwork. More so than a Hami raid...I wonder what the payout is vs the work and potential loss?

Anything like Hami-Enahancements will be appreciated...but until I have lvl 50 and my Epic powertypes, I don't want a lvl 50 SingleOrigin that's both Acc/Damage..like hami-enhances..

Probably will be some large exp/inf bonus...who knows, sounds like it's an all day type of mission...lots of waiting, and teaming..

From what the devs mentioned, taking down Caleb isn't the hard part...Spawning him is. So we'll see how it goes.

RE: CuppaJo to Join the mases taking on Caleb

Sounds like a reverse Hami. Spawning Hami is easy, taking him down is the hard part that requires the teamwork. That is just truly, downright, without a doubt, plain and simply evil! AND I LOVE THE CONCEPT!
