Summary0004096: Bosses drop loot
DescriptionIt feels kinda empty after a big heroic fight you don't get anything (besides xp). This is surely already planned, but if not I think it would make the boss fight more satisfying. Anything would be good. Maybe a bundle of potions? After a boos fight you're gonna need them.

Note: I'm referring mostly to micro- and mini-bossed as they are the only ones I encountered so far.

Yeah, we definitely need to do that. I'm thinking that having them drop semi-rare commodities might also be nice.

Oh yes, please add that. Killing a boss and getting nothing feels rather anti-climactic.

I like the idea of boss drops being a little better than normal room drops. Perhaps a random assortment of region-level-plus-one loot and occasional gems or rare commodities. I think it would be odd to fight your way up to the top of a tower to find a treasure that's less valuable than two of the things you got from bosses on the way up, though.

I also think the quality of loot dropped should be influenced by the level of the boss defeated relative to your own level. If you defeat a higher level boss, the loot should be very good. If the boss is a certain amount of levels lower, the loot should be mediocre at best. And if you beat a boss many more levels higher than you... you should get incredible loot and a parade back at home base. ;)

I'm not sure if Microbosses need loot drops, really. Maybe small attractive health/mana pickups in addition to the shards. Or single item versions of stuff that drops as stacks in stashes now.

But Minibosses and up, I am in full agreement. Getting useful stuff off of them would be nice, maybe with some things you can -only- get from leutenants and overlords.
