Forever Buff Hogger

A new generation is gathering. They must be taught. They must learn what it was like to know fear. To think oneself safe in the bosom of Elwynn's eaves, when in truth one was only ever prey.

Turn hogger into a Stitches type event.

Make it two Stitches Hoggers then! Terrorize the whole elwynn forest till people can't take it nomore!

•

u/Beardwnthar 42m ago

Alright but they gotta start at opposite ends of the forest. One at Westfall and one at Red Ridge and they can only be beaten if they are within a certain distance of each other

Double the number of kobolds in the fargodeep mine too while we're at it.

•

u/Ok-Section-1224 1h ago

u/-Amplify 1h ago

Just increase the cast distance

•

u/Hefatros 1h ago

Increase the amount of humanoids that will get tagged on the fear run before death!

Honestly Hogger should be level 60

•

u/Ok-Section-1224 2h ago

Hogger approaching should feel like the Fel Reaver. The screen should shake and you should shit your pants when you see him close.

•

Honestly, I really wouldnt be opposed to a special "zombie hogger" event quest where some mad necromancer buys hogger's corpse and reanimated it at 60.

He should be the exception to the level cap.

•

u/Active-Response-7155 2h ago

Buff all elites while they're at it!

•

u/Not_Significant9345 1h ago

So it does seem elites are too easy imo.

u/sarpeishans 53m ago

always has been

u/Eevee_Mcgee 2h ago

I fully agree lol. I want it to be unsoloable pre level 14 hahah. It should be a world boss level event. You gotta get a 40 man raid team to clear the camps!

Hahah but no serious I like the last boss of each area to be a big deal. Camps sitting on the outskirts waiting for someone to come along and help them

u/SloboGaming 1h ago

We need more dangerous roaming random elites like Son of Arugal in all Zones tbh.

•

u/MrMimeWasAshsDad 1h ago

You want to see buff Hogger there a subreddit for that already.

•

u/RangeCreed 2h ago

I think most new players who tried to solo hogger would die which turns into maybe I should group up for this. Which then creates that mindset for them for other harder enemies. Personally it's fine as it is.

•

u/Khagrim 2h ago

Exactly. And experienced players were always able to solo Hogger/Vagash etc

•

u/One-Comfortable-5624 2h ago

Hogger now patrols with Hoggette and Hogger Jr.

•

u/Capital-Square-9894 2h ago

Stitches be like.. “Here.. hold my patrol.”

•

u/missingpiece 1h ago

He should have a second phase where he digivolves into Noggenf-Hogger

•

u/ligma_then_sugma 1h ago

I got a buff hogger for you right here, pal.

u/Zestyclose-Lunch-430 1h ago

BUFF PRINCESS!

u/Artrery 2h ago

The only thing that was difficult about Hogger was that it took so long to kill him that the gnoll camps would respawn and swarm you. This still occurs, in fact they increased respawn rates. Soloing Hogger was never the problem with that fight.
