Bosses?

[Kader]

Ive only just realised that this game actually has no bosses. Sure it has clan leaders or whatever of some mobs but theres no actual bosses!

I reckon it would be a good idea if Mindark made Various bosses, not one for each type of mob but maybe a couple of bosses for each level of player?

For example you'd have something like an Exosaur Giant which could just be an oversized exosaur which was pimped up. It could just spawn randomly anywhere there are exosaurs every week or so. Of course the boss would have to drop something significant, maybe have a 1/100 chance of dropping something rare?

And if it only spawns every week then theoretically it would take 100 weeks to drop something rare. Which is nearly 2 years. Im sure Mindark can handle one expensive drop every 2 years

And to make it even harder, they could make the boss spawn in the middle of a mass of mobs. Everyone knows that painful ring of atroxes around the oil rig? Well maybe a boss in the middle of that big group of them It would end up being like a raid - needing more than one person to even consider trying to bring the boss down.

Anyway Poll on it and lets see what you think.

You mean like Rarkash, Ludark, Longtooth etc. that has been used on events?

[Kader]

Oh, i wasn't aware that there where bosses at events. Well then i mean making them spawn at random times around the map so you could run into them while hunting and stuff.

They've had raids with bosses before. I don't think we should have regular bosses with a spawntimer.

Only at events

I think it would be cool to have unique mobs, which respawn randomly when they are killed and have good/unique loots, these could be 'bosses'

Imagine if there was a unique mob who spawned randomly somewhere on amethera and always dropped some cool item that you couldn't get anywhere else, like a piece of its bone that could be crafted into a ring which gave you some sort of small boost.

ahhh....the ring....

Yeah bosses would be good. We could all load up on health and mana pots too and maybe get some good battle elixirs.

I'll dps with my imp and banish the elementals, you tank and MindBuster can heal and shackle. We'll down the bastards in no time. Woohoo

There are bosses. But they are'nt labeled "boss here", and unlike hackemslashes, EU bosses don't necessarily give good loot BUT they can.

If you research eu history, you can learn about cool mobs and when they spawned/what the dropped:
Eomons
Warlocks
High Gen. Segs
Atrox Elite/Slayer/Marauder
Argonaut Elite Series
Migration Event - Elite Exas and a whole heap of high maturity mobs that usually go unseen.
High Level Umbranoid - scary because the have armor. (more coming soon)

But there are everyday bosses you might not realise:
Atrax Stalker - over 10 times harder than the Prowler
Aurli Queen - Seen more rare than Warlocks.
Araneatrox Stalker - If you kiled 100 of these things and didn't get something nice, you'd have to be the unluckiest avatar in all EU
Hogglo Old Alpha and Above - harder than Spider Stalkers. SPiders Miss. Hogglo don't.

Beacon Missions - if this isn't 'bosslike' enough for you.... what is? Done a 35 hard mission yet?

I know what you mean, you want a hackemslash mob-boss appearing. But EU hunting is more about what you CAN hunt, rather than what is beyond your abilities. If everyone found out the atrax stalker was dropping a lot of nice stuff, they'd all hunt it. MA have learned from events in the past that lag kills everyone's fun, and have stated they will avoid the kind of events that involve lots of green dots and lots of red dots.
