Reaper?

Formous

So Devs, I know the Anims for the reaper have been done of late (and realize the chances they may be redone), but I was wondering, any chance we will see big willie in experimental any time soon? I would love to play around with him.

keep a close eye on the trello is all I can suggest

We are hoping to implement that big guy soon.

The sooner you add that big boy, the sooner I can have an excuse to not sleep at night.

This will be amazing!
Reaper Leviathan just sounds legendary as it is, oh dude. I CANT WAIT!

Wolf2000

yeah... I think I will just stick to the shallows from now on...

Seldkam

Insert massive evil grin here

What if the reaper patrolled the edges of the shallows ;3

Korith

I have this dream of extracting crash DNA, pumping it into the Reaper, then dropping a rock on it's head and watching the whole thing explode \m/

Ok probably won't happen, but it would be awesome >.>

Wolf2000

@Seldkam if it patrolled the shallows then logically the safest place to be would be the middle of the ocean

Seldkam

I know I was half joking XP hardcore is too hardcore if we did that I think LOL

Either out in the koosh or red grass zones... Or ma ye the open ocean

Fireclaw

Yeeeah.

Once that dude is in the game, I'll probably cry harder than I usually do at all the strange sounds in the game.

I mean, I've already heard this weird screeching/chirping sound that I assume is coming from something in the creepvine forest that is next to my base, that I have never heard before, so o3o.

Seldkam

I hope this one has a hissing metallic sound, think of how creepy that's be xP

Wolf2000

Yeah. but I expect the reaper would be in the 150+ zones though. I hope he feeds on reef backs

Seldkam

Nooooo, Save the reefbacks XD

That's be fine, as long as it doesn't get out of control like Bonesharks finding their way to the shallows because they are so obsessed with peepers lol

Wolf2000

Was on trello just now and it seems they are working on added them as we speak https://trello.com/c/ljqy5vlA/3979-reaper-implementation

a part that worries me is "approach player and move around him (so player has a chance to see him)" (

Wolf2000

Maybe the reefbacks could make themselves useful and have a kind of fish on their backs that repels the reapers (either because they hate the taste/smell of them or they bite him) as a defence to the reef backs. seems logical if you ask me

Fireclaw

What I think would be absolutely terrifying, is if the Reaper was mainly Nocturnal and you'd be out there just kinda derping around in your Seamoth or Cyclops or even just derping out in front of one of the windows of your base, listening to your shweet tunage or just staring off into space and then this massive shape appears from the darkness and swims slowly by the window and disappears. That would be freaky.

Seldkam

I agree, id like to see more use of the day night cycle as well

The Reaper Leviathan is in the game. I'm not sure if it has a place in the world just yet but if you wish to see it in action, just type spawn reaperleviathan

Beware of it's bite, all it has to to is bite you once, and you are dead.

Seldkam

Yep, the trello card says "cinematic one shot one kill" basically

Fireclaw

I spawned a reaper in my game and it started flying around. In the air!

I was like "Holy mother of Peeper spit, they can fly! D="

Unfortunately I don't know how to take screenshots so I couldn't get one of it =(

Seldkam

if you're in steam, press f12-- then, exit the game, wait a bit, and a window should pop up. look for the "show on disk" and then take note of it. Then come here and attach the file

if you're not, i assume there should be a button depending on the OS / version
