I just had the '''Garrundar the vile'' skirmish. What an absolute piece of **** skirmish.
Million ads.
Million ads that heal.
Million ads on my cleric's ***
No thanks, im tired of that lazy mechanic.
Every dungeon is like that, but atleast i was enjoying the skirmishes... 'till now.
Whoever designed that every single boss battle should be a swarm of minions should be fired.

Especially when you can buy the gear with AD from AH which makes it pointless to run dungeons.
to late buddy - it was 8 years ago
I agree with the OP. The dragon is fine. Maybe a little low on damage. However, all the dragon is right now is an acid-spitting centerpiece for a fight against stacked Marsh Mystics and Trappers. The lizards kite you like crazy and then the Trappers yank you around with unblockable nets and the Marsh Mystics out-heal an entire group's DPS unless you work hard at keeping them separated (and these buggers dance all around the battlefield, making it nearly impossible to keep them separated).
The adds in all the boss fights actively sap my will to play the rest of the game, and they're not even fights against the bosses, they're fights against the adds while you dodge the oversized red-splat-generators.
What you don't understand is people are instead just bringing 2 Clerics and standing in 2 Astral Shields and just standing there doing some silly skill rotation while DPSing the boss and ignoring the adds till the boss is dead and then just AOEing adds down. All it takes is 1 CW basically chain rotating Mage Shield & Arcane Singularity which also helps with survivability.
form your own group.
use Round Robin loot.
exchange with your partymates at the end.
LOL, I'm assuming you're talking about WoW amirite?
Atleast they had actual boss fights, that were fun, and challenging, and fun, and not the same stupid rehashed HAMSTER like this.
What annoyed me more was that I needed to complete it 3 times, but outlevelled it by 46

It's sad that all these overtuned fights have to be cheesed by things like Astral Shield stacking and/or just knocking things to instantly kill them.
Knocking things off stuff to delay them maybe, or knocking them into traps, but instantly killing them? Just dumb.
This sums up my feelings perfectly. My will to play is effectively zero now after discovering that it's all the same boring "mechanic" over and over and over and over and over again. Hire a designer with some bloody imagination.
Eh, i disagree, wow fights are pretty much simon says now with DBM, do what it says when, sleep through it. More so when you've out geared the runs. Played from launch to off and on this year. If you think the boss fights are challenging and fun, you don't remember Wrath, run with your eyes closed. Nothing unpredictable or that interesting, especially once you've run it once or looked up the strats. Cata pulled out the interrupts, but those were more annoying than adds here, at least until people out geared them. Fifteen minute dungeon runs, all bosses included.
My only real complaint here is that the bosses are such damage sponges, take so long for the sake of long, like the whole dungeon. Which you notice if you DC and have to run through the whole thing again, empty, long run. :P
And here it is even worse, because all the boss ever does is place a red zone somewhere.
The whole boss content, even the solo ones, feel like the copy&pasted that together in a few hours, there are basically no bosses that have any real abilities up til 45. every time i enter a boss battle i am only wondering what and how many adds we will get, the boss doesn't do anything interesting anyway. And while DBM made a lot of stuff in WoW very easy, at least the designers tried to do a lot of different mechanics and not just replaced models to fit with the current zone. I am not even 60 and the whole PvE repetition is boring, i won't even try the rest of the skirmishes and dungeon if they are nothing but the same encounter with different skins every time, it is worse enough in the solo missions already.
Did you clear Heroic modes in WoW?
What's getting stale in NW so far is that every boss is almost the same. Couple abilities, summons adds from the rest of the instance. The only times they're challenging is when the boss has some kill-all move (Marrowslake's ground ability) or the adds are more deadly than the bosses (shadow wolves on Marrowslake, Hellfire Magus in Lair).
Not to mention that a lot of these abilities basically amount to 1-hit kills. Messing up once and being dead isn't a very satisfying game experience.
Sidenote: This game's "boss" design is ****ing awful.
Yeah I've already had some hardcore gamer friends leave because of this. They've done their T2 stuff and made this same comment about boss fights. Oh and lag apparently.
Skirmishes and dungeons are ok if you queue for them and end up with 3 clerics
The MMO may change but the inventory tetris stays the same.
I agree in general. But there is also a limit to on how far to go. The one thing that bothers me is the AOE circles that just go bonkers and nearly non-stop. It makes life extremely rough being a melee based class.
Dude...Its the same for pretty much every MMO. If you dont like it, dont play. I however dont have a problem with it and think they did a great job with the dungeons.
Just because it isnt easy doesnt mean its not a good game/ mechanics.
oh?
I'm from DDO and thought I would check this game out. DDO is a lot more handcrafted than NWO I'm coming to realise. Which is both good and bad. This game is very beautiful but there are patterns everywhere that my humaness is trained to look for. DDO each boss fight and each dungeon is handcrafted although it's older now so not as pretty.
So no, not all MMOs are like that. I'm sure DDO is not the only one to have varied and differing boss fights and dungeons.

Don't steal my challenges, you selfish! You have T1s for you.
Yeah I used to play DDO and It had a good dungeon system, I just didnt like how you had to pay for content and the visuals arent the best in DDO.
