Been running around the Twilight Forest for a few hours and it's becoming apparent that all the Hydras and Ur-Ghasts are wiped out and killed already. With this situation it becomes a road block for Age 2 players and new comers. You need Fiery Blood and/or Fiery Tears which drop from the bosses listed above to craft Fiery Ingots to proceed in making a Coal Engine which helps advance further into Age 2. A possible solution is to have Fiery Blood and/or Fiery Tears as a possible loot in the chest that spawn in Twilight Forest. With the amount of chest scattered around this would be very suitable for new players and current Age 2+ players to gather after all the bosses get cleared out after day 1-2 of the reset.
Actually a very nice suggestion. Now, I do not know if this is possible. I would need to see if I can either A: have a script to add loot tables to chests; or B: save the world reset locally, add loot to all the chests, and then upload it to the server. Option B is more likely as the world is already generated for the reset and changing the loot tables wouldn't do anything.
Thank you! Keep me updated on how the test go and if there is anything I can assist with. I believe in you!
