Grunach The Undying, invincible boss. bad game design

[david_adrm]

so this boss has the same 3 balloons that spawn, as all high-tier enemies, and we have to destroy the balloons................but........................the mechanic here was never explained, and there is no hints, no learning curve or indications.
to defeat this boss you have to destroy the balloons in order? what??????

A lot of players hate bosses with invincibility phases. but how will we understand that THIS TIME, the mechanic will be different somehow? it's double dipping on bad things.

want to know something devs????: I stopped playing.

I don't want to play whack a Ballon anymore

"no learning curve" AKA cant figure it out without a tutorial

The shield balloons appear in a specific order and need to be destroyed in the same order. Horrible mechanic for pub teams.

Any mechanic is going to be horrible in a pub ... even more in a pub of this game that has insanely stupid player base in general

Nah, that thing is not well designed.
Appearing one my one, does not imply that should be destroyed in that order. Unless someone had some recent, or strong memory about similar thing.

If the orbs would have a different design or color, that is something that could imply an order, for those used to this kind of game mechanic. E.g.: The orbs will have indentations implying numbers.
There is also the possibility of not paying attention to the order, since you are dealing with others threats. And of course, others players that don't know what they are doing.

It's one of these "OMG challenge is fun", that masochists love. Like making bosses heal fast by giving a short time or window for you to stop it.
It's not about making a game "easy", but not making it frustrating.
