Will Von Leon be defeated day 1?

Simple question that's been on my mind lately.

With Von Leon dropping (presumably) sometime in the next 10 days, what do you guys think? Will the community already be so overpowered to the point that as soon as the boss is here, he'll be defeated basically immediately? Or will it prove itself tough enough to actually last a little bit before the first drops go to the FM?

Personally I think VL will croak day 1, with just how many level 200s this server has to its name and the amount of time there's been for people to fully optimise their equipment. Either the new mechanics will have to be unusual enough where people have to get used to them before being successful or the boss would have to be just ridiculously powerful for this not to happen, in my opinion.

What do you think?

 

i voted no because i predict that VL will have an undispellable 25-minute "NL cancel" mechanic

 

Pretty sure there's going to be people attempting VL multiple times a day on different characters, some to learn mech and some to actually fight. so yes.

 

If possible I want to run twice in release day, and I'm sure older players have many more characters to run on

 

Rdy to solo

 

Probably day 3 after the bugfix patch is released

 

Yeah assuming no bugs or anything he will be toast. Theres already videos of his mechanics and this is a mushroom game from the mid 2000s, I'm sure it won't be rocket science to kill him. However I read that hard mode von leon has like 11b hp, so imagine if they used that version of VL, giving him like nearly 6x? the hp of HT. That would be crazy, and might also be a real challenge.

 

You're assuming we're getting VL from GMS with 0 changes. That seems like a bad assumption to make since we're confirmed getting custom mechanics.

Still though with people running many times in a day, it won't surprise me if VL dies day 1. Just might take a bit more effort than most people are used to for bosses in Royals.

 

^Only solo runs count as clears.

MMO stands for Me, and Me Only

 

Meme only?

 

All the Trihards and plebs from Fryslan/rogue/oblivion will come together and beat it day 1 tbf.
Also how small is the chance that staff testing VL didn't tell the non staff guild mates how to beat it, it's a rhetorical question but still. (just like when all the elites bought all the Elixers from FM before the ULU elixer droprate got nerfed)

 

i think it's normal that those super geared players would be able to defeat the boss in a day or two (after figuring out the main mechanics) because ttheir dps allows for more leeway in clearing the boss.

that being said, the importance of new content is not how fast it can be cleared by the super geared players who have invested immense time and effort into the game. the importance of the new content is for the any player to have more fun and interesting content to do and get different rewards.

While its true that those who have been in the server longer and gathered more OP gear have an advantage, that is an earned advantage.

Looking forward to the Von Leon fun! (new untradeable gear? +80 stats belt )

 

So much confidence here! I'm excited to see the in game results and reactions

 

All those perfect equips advertised everywhere must be good for something, yeah?

 

Spoiler

i'd let him beat me up

 

no its impossible nobody will be able to figure it out
