Act bosses are way overtuned and arbitrarily difficult to pad content
Like the title says... Act bosses take way too long and you don't get any good gear during the campaign, so you're stuck running around in circles for 20 minutes doing a couple damage at a time spending most of your time dodging the endless attacks that just 1-shot you (why is there even an HP stat in this game?)

Completely boring. Probably done with it until they fix the glaring issues with progression.

A combination of better gear, better game knowledge and better pattern recognition... this actually isn't weird at all and has nothing to do with bad boss design...and common sense.

No, its just bad. Using the best gear I can, you just get 1-shot. And the fights last way too long

Kinda weird considdering my warrior facetanked Geonor and my Merc facetanked Jemenra.... their "OHKO"'s certainly hurt... but they didn't outright kill me.

As for bossfights taking too long... my monk beat had to wait for Geonor to transform and after he did he was dead within seconds... whole fight took less than maybe 5 minutes.... And I think my merc took maybe 5 minutes to kill Jemenra...

So definitely a gear/build issue

I play Lost Ark. And let me tell you, that game has bad boss mechanics. Only because you can't solo the bosses since every boss needs a specific counter from a different class.

I oneshot Geonor after he transformed with my lvl15 Warior, so no.

All these people don't even understand the game they are playing.

It's like they play to a multiplayer FPS the first time, and complain they are getting killed while they don't use weapons because they think the objective of the game is to harvest flowers.

Its an RPG, you need GRIND and STUFF.

If you don't GRIND for STUFF, you will sucks, even if you are the most skilled player of the universe.

I had trouble with the difficulty of the game at first, but it's because I forget I needed stuff. Once I started trading and got stuff, the game became so easy. Two shoting boss during campaign in cruel with WARRIOR (you know, the class that everyone say it sucks).

It's not about git gud or skill issues, its about PLAY THE GAME AS INTENDED.

You all followed the hype as every big video game release without even knowing the mechanics and the gameplay of the game you buy.

Just learn.

Adapt, overcome, survive.

You are prolly not using the meta builds, like the rest of the toxic shills in this forum that often posts: git gud or skill issue. :lunar2019coolpig:

I'm not forgetting anything. Character is about as strong as they can be at this point. Its just poorly designed.

I didn't follow "hype" I generally dont even play new games because they suck on release. The game is overly difficult

Too hard: Not that I've encountered so far.
Too long: About right imo.

Drops are a little lean at the moment tho.

For ascension I could understand how a boss would OS you... that whole system IS badly designed; I'm not going to deny that.

Count Geonor 2 tries Jamanra 6 tried and Doryani 1 try all blind to the game and didn't check anything beforehand and not even that good and winged it without looking anything up beforehand lmao. The Act bosses aren't even all that bad Blackjaw killed me 10x and VIper killed me 6x in act 3 if there are bosses that need some serious looks its them for sure. Jamanra mainly killed me because I was fighting him with -10% lightning resist quickly went back to stash for lightning resist rings and charms and did him easily because the game rewards you for being prepared.

I agree that the trials can completely suck beyond belief especially if you are melee with honor.

Those of us who bought this game for an ARPG got hustled into buying a disguised soulslike game; complete with the obligatory guys in the forums telling us it's EASY we just need to "get good".
