Instagibbed by an archlich in ruined dungeon

[PowerWyrm]

What the hell happened with the recent betas? This zone was supposed to be feasible at level 20 or so and my necro just got one shotted by this (new to me) undead horror from around a corner...

The ruined dungeon can generate horribly out of depth pretty often actual.
I've gotten a patchwork troll and a champion of Ur-rok(I think that's the right name) before.

Haha ya I suffered a similar fate.

It seems that ruined dungeon now has 6 purple level baddies rather than one (like it used to).

Yeah, the new rares can be pretty deadly, it seems. Though I've always gotten the impression that you can get a pretty wide range of beasties just from the orbs...I even used that on occasion to scum for alchemist quest parts. Never got a multihued drake, but got the other drake ones. Mainly I used to to acquire a faerthing part, since those seem exceedingly rare in the West.

Nothing happened with recent betas, you just had really really bad luck.

[SageAcrin]

Actually, two things happened.

One, six rares have guaranteed spawns in the dungeon now.

Two, there are some...rather nasty foibles with target passing right now that make enemies come from surprising distances to attack you.

Having said that, neither of them made a difference for Archliches. I drew one back in...b38? b36? by mashing an orb for a while, because I was using that to grind up Ice damage with an Alchemist...

Tackle at lvl 15, rather than 20
