So, that server boss.....

[Misery]

.....Seems extremely broken.

Is there some sort of wacky trick here that I'm supposed to magically know to defeat this? I mean, the way this works, it's as if it expects me to suddenly be playing Nuclear Throne, wildly waving crazy deathray guns in all directions and zooming all over the place due to overwhelming foes just appearing from random angles non-stop. The game's deliberate and tactical combat just dives out the window and dies horribly in a pit of acid spikes.

It doesnt feel like any amount of skill is involved here. Granted, the bosses in the game are... more than a little screwy at the best of times, but this one is a bit beyond "screwy".

This might be a bit less completely irritating if there were more bosses for the game to choose from (or if I could just turn them off). As it is, this thing appears *REALLY OFTEN*. It's honestly kinda killing my desire to keep going, knowing that 50% of runs will just end arbitrarily due to that thing simply existing. It's the one big blemish in the game's otherwise stellar combat.


Seriously though: IS there some sort of trick to this? Some gimmick I'm not seeing?

And yes, I do know you have to stay in a certain range of it to drain it's health. Even if that werent true though this would still be a total mess. But that's not the sort of gimmick I mean.

imo, hack server "boss" location is one of the easiest in the game, it can be cleared even with starting pistol, you have 3 walls around a lot of space on map.

Which is true, you do have walls around.... but you cant use most of it without giving the boss it's HP back. That's one problem with the fight. If it was just "survive this encounter in this arena for this amount of time" it.... well it would still be idiotic, but it wouldnt seem broken. As it is though, it forces you into that small area. And walls stop working when everything just roams around to the other side (or outright spawns there... the randomness of the fight is ANOTHER issue). Enemies werent exactly coming at me in easily avoided clumps in that one.


As for which class I was using in that run.... I *think* it was the guardian? Pretty sure that was it.

The devs changed the spawning in the latest patch. Its now one of the easiest boss fights.
If you still have trouble beating that stage then you'll just need to work on killing units faster.

I beat this one every time with Guardian or Rogue. Commando not so much
