Now I'm not going to sit here and pretend I boss all the time, because as some of you know all I do is try to make mesos until I can finally be on par with some of the more elite players on this server, but I have noticed that bossing seems to be ...well..not very difficult. Considering we don't know if PB will be added (or atleast when it will be added..), does anyone else feel like the difficulty of certain bosses, say HT, should be increased? I realize this is supposed to be a nostalgic server, but just coming from a gamer's perspective it just feels a little too easy imo. Or possibly a separate boss that may not be nostalgic, but provides nostalgic level drops with a higher level of difficulty be added? Thoughts/opinions?
if you got problems with the game being too easy i think you should find another game, this isnt a skill based game in any way. Nothing will ever be rly hard as long as you fullfill the certain requierments needed for each boss its pretty much just a matter of finding ppl that is willing to spend that certain amount of time you will need to kill the boss. (if you were even up to date on the updates about bosses you would know that ht is changing quite a bit actually)
Timing the boss with this lag and instability is harder than the boss itself, so I'd say it's difficult enough right now! But yeah, considering the bugs at HT will be fixed, it won't be as easy. Same with Krexel.
HT is correctly bugged , what makes it easier than usual . You can freeze some body parts , cancel the wep defs , use magnets to take the seduce / dispel and the mass seduce never works.
thats not me being rude. its just ironic to me that someone who doesnt boss at all complains about bosses being to easy, its known by pretty much everyone that do ht that it will change with the new source and it has been comonly discussed among most of the runners (that i know atleast) sorry if i come across as rude, thats not my intent.
The only boss I really dislike is Krexel. It's just mashing an eye for 1/2 hours. Most people watch series or do other stuff while killing it. That's really how interactive that boss is. And it also happens to be the one that gives almost the best exp out of all of them...
in my opinion i would rather see dev working towards making everyone able to do bosses like ht for example without having to remove graphics card install vmware or etc
There are a huge amount of issues in the current source relating to bosses. Almost every boss is currently affected by 2 major issues. The first one is that there are no mobskill cooldowns - meaning that the boss can use the same skill repeatedly when it shouldn't, although this one probably increases the difficulty. Another problem which lowers difficulty would be that curses done by mobs only affect one player, rather than everyone in the map or a group of players. There's also the fact that stun is currently disabled due to permanent stun, auto aggro is incorrect and can cause people to attack without being hit, and there is no damage reflection for some ToT bosses. All of these will be fixed in the new source.
The real boss of Royals right now is the lag. Lag2stronk. The real boss of working royals/GMS is/was the EXP curve.
