Yesterday i attacked random monster in the woods and turned out that monsters spits out acid which not only killed me in seconds but also destroyed my gorget of magi and doom leggings.

This is an excellent reason to read the wiki, so you know about all of the warnings posted there!  Many monsters have some nasty traits, including acid, eating pets etc that require specific strategies to beat.

Games are supposed to be fun and challenging, but i really don't see how this "feature" can be any of it. Players invest hard work (or real money, for some) to improve their gear to get more competitive but this acid "feature" can make all of this work worthless in a matter of seconds. You can also lose items by forgetting to insure them or accidentally trashing them and that's fine because it was your mistake and you can learn from it, but acid thing just kills any fun or joy. When i realized what items I lost and that i lost countless hours of farming gold/scrolls I just also lost my willing to play this game.

In conclusion, I'm suggesting to remove this acid thing or just make it possible to avoid (slower destruction with better visible warning like the one from slimes). This will not ruin gameplay in any way but will make it better instead. I know this post is not going to bring me back my items but at least, if action is going to be taken, there will be less dissapointed players in future.

When the damage is so high you avoid mobs because of things like this.
I agree it should be looked into. Either make it worth the effort great item drop/money. Or reduce the damage taken.


Things like this go to waste. Just sitting in game to upset people. So not worth it if the risk v reward is not there.

Maybe a priority list of items affected..  Acid on the ground  or ground damage...
Boots --> Legs --> Torso and on up..
Splash Dam..
Shield --> Weapon ---> Head --->
 
Prolly complicated script though  idk Script from umm yeah that thing..

 The only way I ever attack anything that spits out acid is with a bow and a summoned Energy Vortex. 
 
This is a great tactic and avoids the acid attacks

I found out the hard way about the Solen hives.  I remembered they did spill acid but I never imagined it would kill me that fast.  However, it only took me one time to never attack them at close range. I found that my pet can handle it fine and then I just wait until the acid fades.

id also like to add bruce lee to this list of mobs that destroy your gear....   seems a shame that items with self repair that players have spent EDS on go poof fighting one mob that does not even drop anything good....

I too agree with this post. I spend hard earned money for self repair on my high end items and lost alot of duarability on those items too. Please do away with this unwanted aspect of the game that really makes no sense to have. Just not fun!

I have a fun story about that....... but that'll be for another time.

As Dante stated, that IS a very good reason to read the Wiki and find out what's on the shard. The Monstrous Interred Grizzle is who you have to thank for that. He wasn't so bad before, but when you need to adjust the HP and STR of a monster to be able to fight against the items here, it tends to toss it a bit overboard sometimes... then again, you should be watching for cues on when this happens. *grins*

I understand you might get upset about losing items, but that's just the nature of the beast. Either equip yourself with "secondary armor" or don't fight it at all. The reward vs risk for some of the monsters that have the acid isn't worth it, you are correct, but some are. And some are just for the fun and pride of beating them.

We will have to take a look to see what can be done about making them more viable though.

I have made changes to this system that will be posted in the next live shard publish in the "shard updates" section.
