Bosses - Not enough adds and aoes

edited May 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
This game has some seriously thought out boss mechanics.... but I think they should add adds and some aoe attacks from the bosses as I think there is not nearly enough of that going on right now.:mad:

    I agree. You can see this really start showing in battles such as the Mad Dragon. Could easily do with doubling the amount of adds and the dragon doesn't have near enough hp.

    might i ask to what level you have played up to? i would seriously suggest playing lair of the mad dragon. grey wolf den and The Dread Vault. that or i hope you seriously were being sarcastic. if you were being serious then try the above dungeons when you reach their level or if somehow your capped try the epic versions i assure you they are *fun*.

    OMG this! More adds, it's ridiculous how few there are in the dungeons. It would make the boss fights much more clever if we had loads of adds.

    Have you guys played Star Trek Online? Ya Cryptic has a some issues when creating boss fights. They think throwing adds and more hit points makes the event "better/funner".

    Seriously they need to get some people hired who can do better! The dungeons themselves looks pretty good and some of the trash mobs are ok, but the bosses.... so bad!!!

    Ah I know what your problem is.....

    There are enough adds.

    You just haven't looked over at the Cleric in your group - you'll find all the adds there. :D:D:D
    ...............vote for your favourite expansion..........

    As a GWF, Clerics are my best friends for this. Until Steve the Wizard is like LOLNOPEREPEL and I'm sad and useless again.

    I would like to see more adds and AOE's also. What I propose is adds that spawn more adds that do AOE's. If they added this in I think the boss fights would be much more interesting and fun.

    Yup, we need more adds, right now we got a boss, and tens or even fifties adds running out of no where, and wiping the whole group in dungeon or a solo player in a quest dungeon, but hey, we need more challenge, eventually we will still kill the boss!............. *pokerface*

    That person probably is still in the early levels...

    Zing!

    I normally play healers in mmos. Kind of glad I opted not to for once in this game. Seems like it would be a massive PITA.

    Yeah especially the adds that do aoe knock down and can't be CC. Like the ice golems in Frozen Heart. Those really make the fights awesome. More please!!

    I have nothing to add to this thread. I'll wait until a few more people post then I'll add to this thread. To spice it up I might even use bold or italic in the font. I won't change font size though. I'll wait until the thread is almost dead, then I'll use the biggest size font for a real challenge :p

    Honestly why stop at adds? we should only be allowed to fight the boss 1 at a time, no actually, heres an idea, the boss gates should charge a zen toll. (maybe 1000 zen? PWE get your best men on this)

    Good idea! They could charge zen too for allowing groups to decide how many adds or lack of are spawned during boss fights!

    Eureka!

    Great idea! But as an alternative to using the Zen Toll gate, you could also have an optional narrow, twisty, windy path, with a sheer drop to nothing on both sides, filled with CC immune AoE knockback casting groups of mobs, it should take about a half hour to get through.

    That way no one can complain about not being able to get in, the toll gate is just a convenience!

    Exactly, stupid freeloaders complaining about the windy passage, don't they know anything about business, the windy passage/zen toll gate is what keeps neverwinter afloat, PWE has to do this to make money, anyone who disagrees is a troll, a heathen and a generally unsavory character beyond redemption.

    Hear hear! We can't let in the riffraff. Only those with blue names are important! Keep this f2p game exclusive to us true believers who paid a little money upfront once so everyone else leaves in disgust and they don't make any more money!

    Yay sarcasm.

    But seriously.. The adds on a lot of these events are just ridiculous and makes me not want to do them anymore than I have to. So instead of designing fun events they are more of a chore.

    And make sure that their standard tactic is "Stand in my buddy's AoE! It's nice and warm!" so that meleeing them is more convenient.
