Talk: Powerful

Treetop Whisperer

(in response to Drour's edits)

The Evoker at the end of Pumpkin Pastures and the Illusioner at the end of Frosted Fjord used to have boss health bars, however that was changed, as seen in this page's history section. These missions are still considered boss missions, but that was likely only done because otherwise there wouldn't be enough boss missions to get to the maximum difficulty level without DLC (before accessing apocalypse+25, you need to complete a large amount of boss missions, I forgot exactly how many). So the confusion about the health bars isn't a thing anymore, all powerful mobs have the smaller health bars and all boss mobs have the large ones. The Treetop Whisperer has a boss health bar, is not on the list of powerful mobs in the luxury merchant screen, and it only appears at the end of a single mission. All other powerful mobs appear multiple times throughout multiple missions. Therefore I think it is safe to say that the Treetop Whisperer is a Boss mob, not a Powerful mob.

I would still like to know evidence of this from the game files, rather than observations in the game.Drour1234 (talk) 06:00, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

I've been discussing this with User:Collecter Alan on discord and they have told me some interesting things. For one, boss mobs use the tag fullboss and powerful mobs use the tag eventboss, funnily enough, the Treetop Whisperer uses neither of these, it also doesn't have the enchanted mob tag. However it still has the boss health bar, and it keeps that health bar even when placed in another mission, so I think we should continue to list it as a boss on this wiki.

All that should be mentioned on the treetop whisperer page then. It should also be distinguished from the other bosses on the boss mob page. In addition, I had no idea that there was even a discord page.Drour1234 (talk) 23:25, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

I agree, I'll put the information on there soon. And yes there is one, although the discussion I had with alan was in private messages. I'm pretty active in there, here's the invite if you'd like to join: https://discord.com/invite/fGdE5ZE HMPilatus (talk) 23:43, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
