Early Access Feedback - If the map bosses are not nerfed for next season, there will be a HUGE drop in player count. - Forum

" tiberius1116#7027 a écrit : After the recent "buff" to map bosses, beating maps has just gotten MUCH more difficult with non-meta builds. I am a player who started in season 1 and I have so far banked over 1600 hr in the game. Recently, I started a new lighting spear Amazon just for fun, and after spending 200+d on the character is still having an extremely hard time killing standard t15 map bosses. I clear the entire map without any problem by flying through everything but then i see a regular boss I just get 1 shot.... while there are builds out there that wipes all bosses with 150% IIR....like this is just insane. Any build with 200+D sunk into it should clear content easily! Right now I have to switch to my end-game minion infernolist to kill those bosses. I am extremely lucky that minion build is actually fairly strong this season and I started off by playing a meta build. Or else, I actually just cannot progress. For new players next season, I wonder if anyone else is gonna try to play a non-meta build at all....the moment they run into a boss, they are gonna realize the content is just insanely hard, that this is actually the wrong game to play if they want a cookie-cutter casual game play experience. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I'm casual and always create my own builds, so I doubt it's meta. And I enjoy the boss fights. But I don't level them way up on the Atlas either. I think I just have them increased once. So if the bosses are too difficult for you, I would just tone down their difficulty on the Atlas until it's in a comfortable spot for you.

The game is already empty due to the balance issues. Doesn't need to bother someone with power of Bosses to make people flee like rabbits. The question remains the same 8 months now.. When Devs will solve balance issues???????	Posté par a09368652#0684 le 20 oct. 2025 à 06:14:24 Citer ce post
doubt. Many enjoy it, it is a challange. Boss should be hard and taking a minute to kill at least. They could change the Atlas to be more emgaging and fun tho. None version felt good so far. They could add a Tower of Bosses with floors, even infinite mode. They could add survival arena mode. They could add quite a lot of stuff and make Atlas obsolete completely tbh.

Bosses strength are good. You can't expect winning all the time. Where the game has serious issues is in DPS differences between meta and common builds + reward system sucks. We've expecting improvements in later patches. Dernière édition par Xesepshla#5714, le 20 oct. 2025 à 06:52:25	Posté par Xesepshla#5714 le 20 oct. 2025 à 06:51:47 Citer ce post

Several people seem to have reported that after 0.3.1, the bosses were a tier harder than they had been before the patch. Can you remove two atlas boss passives and run the same content you were running before? This doesn't seem like a problem to me, fyi. A lot of people were asking for the game to be harder. And maybe it is. I think its not the problem that its harder its that bosses on maps are just unfair. bosses are designed to work in the campaign. The issue if you increase the cast speed and damage etc. things deal way more damage. And not every build is running a shitload of energy shield to tank it. Skills and normal attack that dont kill you in the campaign kill you in Maps. The only solutions to this is a lot of energy shield or armour or very high damagw, but the developers want fights to take longer. Which doesnt really work with how bosses are designed. “The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.”	Posté par Alzucard#2422 le 20 oct. 2025 à 09:46:41 Citer ce post
" I think its not the problem that its harder its that bosses on maps are just unfair. bosses are designed to work in the campaign.

Therefore, i would much rather see boss enouter being a "rewarding" option. You could make them as hard as you want and you could make player feel like "oh wow if I am finishing a map without killing the bosses I am missing out"....

In general melee builds with none ES based character is just very difficult to do end game content....	Posté par tiberius1116#7027 le 20 oct. 2025 à 12:03:10 Citer ce post
