scorched beast queen needs some more damage Resistance

[Hellcat999]

now with legendary enemies unable to mutate i see one or two glearing problems, the encrypted event and scorch beast queen are too easy to kill. sometimes you cant even get a hit off to get the xp.

I would rather fight them once with double health than to all of a sudden get all their health back and just basically start over again. I did not find the queen easier this week, but I don't have juiced up super weapons. Now when I face a legendary, I always have to spend more energy killing them. The change was good for the most part...

Yes, please make it an even bigger bullet sponge.

Remember, alot of veteran players are comming back for the new scoreboard, so you have player with finished builds and they are powerfull.

lol ... , wait to see them left the game as weeks past then fighting the SBQ with a bunch of low levels ... !!!

its more like the SBQ is one of the easiest bosses to kill, even when it mutated it was a piece of cake. i run a good bloodied build with primarily prime weapons so i shred her either way, but if i kill her too quick robs others of xp. SBQ is just super weak now

It really frustrates the heck out of me when people rush her. So much experience and loot wasted because they had to kill her fast. 20-25 minute queen is perfection for all the adds.

If it took 20min to kill her i would be afk after getting some hits in her, hope this is sarcasm and i just cant read it xD

Not sarcasm this time. Truth. It’s not requiring 20 minutes to kill her. It’s stretching the battle out for 20+ minutes before she dies. You get her down a bit, then just focus on the adds. For the love of Todd don’t cryo her in the air, you want her to land. She lands, pops out adds, and you get lots and lots of tasty tasty mobs to kill. Some legendary, some not. But worth a ton of XP. Did it one time and rolled the weekly repeatable over 15 times and there was so much stuff on the ground that my weight maxed out and I couldn’t pick it up.

THAT is a good time.

Well it would be nice if there were level 200, 500, & 1000 events. But that's way dif than simply bullet sponging (or at least it should be).

What you can do is launch the nukes you self and make sure its earl or the giant mole rat and problem is solved :) I think its great with a boss like the SBQ that frem level 50s can do and then mole rat that takes a little longer time but is actually the most easy boss out of all 3 to kill.
Earl for higher levels and more experienced players, i think its good how it is right now with those bosses :)

EDIT: If you are unable to get a few hits into the SBQ and the Encryptid boss then its a you problem, never had this problem at all even on my unarmed and melee builds, you must be doing something wrong TBH.
I just killed the SBQ in private world with a Bloodied Combat Knife, took me 18min though, the game isnt hard and have never been for experienced FO76 players but its a good game to goof around in and just chillaxe in :)

no its a Bethesda problem since a lot of the time their loading screens take WAY too long, they just need more HP because you can melt them within seconds now which is honestly not good. your response tells me you don't seem to understand that this is an actual problem, what if it was your first time fighting either and as soon as you loaded in the event was over and yo got nothing? simply put it isn't Just a me problem, some unlucky newbie who just got the ability to launch a nuke for the first time to fight the SBQ or first time doing the encrypted event was basically robbed of the experience, they could get unlucky several times over like this as well knowing Bethesda.

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

Right after they canned all the Magic Weapons everyone cried how hard it was now. But players were able to adjust their weapons and builds to melt her again. Even if you pushed Her to level 1000-some level 3000 player would find a way to one shot her. This is how it has been sense launch and it will never change.

[Mooman]

Her resistances are fairly low, see screenshot (this is with Slug Buster that has AA -50% and Tank Killer):

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3027462528

The thing with the bosses is that they are at the maximum allowed HP of 32767 (16 bit limitation of game). They have a reduction spell that reduces damage before resistance calculations.

If you increase resistance you disproportionately affect players. Higher damage players will have less damage resisted than lower damage players, they become proportionately more of a bullet sponge the lower your damage gets.

What should happen is the resistance equation should be tossed out. Instead resistance should have a set reduction, say 10% for every 100 resistance. That way the time to kill can be balanced regardless of player min/max.

Won't happen, don't expect it to happen but one day I'd be pleasantly surprised if BGS even took on the task of addressing weapon balance.

These bosses went from 100% hp + ~50-55% hp to 160% hp

They are fine

The queen went from

Regen her crippled limbs and auto taking flight to sticking it out until dead which is a good chance

Earle went from being able to get killed before he regens to not... and he is a terrible boss with that 5 minute gate wait

Mole I'm not sure but probably got a 160% buff too... he wouldn't need it as he never mutated before

I.Sheep got a buff to his health, before he was super easy to put down before he could mutate

So...instead of balancing people that have broken weapons (that they probably duped and traded over and over) with bloodied builds with 40 in all specials kills a boss in like 5 seconds with like a railway rifle, you want to punish the regular players who likes to have a fun time with other regular players by making an already bullet sponge boss, even more of a bullet sponge because the high tier dmg people are having easier time? Bruh fr....

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

" you want to punish the regular players who likes to have a fun time "

I don't think BloodPie has anything to do with it.

I just find bloodied to be kinda too meta, it's very overpowered, especially with unyielding. I don't hate it personally or the people for using it but it kinda takes the fun away to just almost insta kill any bosses no? It just need a better balancing. ^^

Edit : I guess having a very low health bar is fine? Maybe?

Edit-2 : Most people who complain about bosses being easy and needs to be buffed are usually the ones with crazy builds that deals a lot of damage to these bosses, what builds gives a crap-ton of damage? Usually the Bloodied with unyielding builds, but regular people who wants to use other builds like Full health ones usually find themselves having to fight more bullet sponge bosses clearly unbalanced because a few people find them "easy" because of how overpowered they are and then they add even more health and resistances instead of balancing all the builds even-like.
