Elite Smashes

I kinda miss being able to battle Graviatar every day. To me Gravitar is the perfect balance of challenge and length. Regular smashes are just too short. Any way you talented beautiful Devs could add an elite mode to the smashes? Maybe if players queue a team set to elite they can fight a tougher, more deadly version of the smash boss with an extended time limit and a better payout (like 5G instead of 3G)?

    Gravitar is an excellent boss fight.

    every player has to pay attention and look the hell out for themselves. yes even you healers and dps.

    You mean an easy fight that one again eschews team work for the selfish people that would prefer a single player game instead of an MMO.

    HMMM i have a little Zig-Zag Opionion about this because she is a CHEAP Boss!

    The only thing you can pay attention and avoid are her Force Field, but again there is trouble with the Awful Hit-Box Detection her AoE have

    You can always avoid the Gold Force Fields as well, since at 1/3 of her HP her Stun Fields will always be followed by Gold Bubbles of Death

    BUT

    Her Force Cascades are random and can hit up to 3 times in the row when she is at 1/3 HP
    so this makes her Cheap, the only way to avoid them is if you see the Visual of the Cascade to your direction and Block as soon as you see it... but this needs a good View of the Boss and Quick Reflexes

    Melee characters eat both Force Field and Force Cascades

    and sometimes she decides to Force spam the healer who is trying to Ressurect People

    I like 30 second smushes. Makes it quick and easy to pull together some globals for a random CC.

    But having the option to run content on Elite actually DO something is a good idea. I also like epic rewards meaning at the very least 10g instead of hooker clothes.

    Maybe because every time you make a suggestion and talk about "team" your observations are the antithesis of a team. Fights where people do their own thing and not really concerned about everyone else. And contrary to your imagination, I do read what you write I just read exactly what you write and generally you don't write anything that suggests anything else. Hell your post about Gravitar demonstrates that to a T where you sit there and proclaim that people need to worry more about themselves than their team mates. This is not team play.

    You make an actual suggestion that actually considers team work and team play then I will get behind it.

    Someone told me once that they aren't actually random and she targets people who move around a lot in that last 1/3.

    Uhhh, I really dunno where people get their info from. Gravitar's Cascades are random, they don't fire three in a row at a single person they randomly go around. In fact, all her attacks randomly attack people except for one attack; her Force Geyser, which she uses on whoever has the highest threat.

    Her attacks are random in the last third, just most fights most fights due to less numbers it feels like she targets whoever. And because of how the yellow bubble works, aka she holds first before dropping a yellow on her target, I am sure it looks to people it's whoever is moving the most. But that isn't true.

    I think you're interpreting the definition a bit literally if you think the elite bosses are going to fight exactly like Gravitar. OP's discussing making alerts with a similar challenge as Grav - and there's more than one way to be challenging than tossing out randomized cascades instantly. You could do crazy 'x10'-ish versions of bosses: A Jack Fool that throws out fast super-stabs constantly, or Mr. Gemini who very quickly summons adds to overwhelm the team (and each one generates a defense AoE!!). The only issue from there is to implement these sorts of villain upgrades while making them make sense in a team context.

    At some point, though, it kind of just brings up the question of why not just make more Rampages: Questionite's generally a more valuable reward, and at the rate we're going, they will also deal out bonus costume sets and stuff to get Heroic gear. It's also a bit hard to make a tactically deliberate battle seem fair when you're also on a time limit of any sort.

    But who knows, maybe just slapping the 'Elite' buff on everything in the alert could be something to try.

    How is 5g a better payout? I can get that much from selling gear that's drooped by enemies

    You can continue that mature and reasonable critical discussion of the merits of supergroups in private messages, but this thread's for suggesting Elite Smashes.

    Consider that if your Upgrade all the Bosses for Rampage fights, then you have to Turn their Power Up to 11 to make them more challenging (right now they are just Stacks of HP)
