Hellborn is kind of a joke enemy isn't it?

[Cruddy]

It's just pathetically easy, even compared to rotjaw, I know what people will say, "Blah blah blah, AI is just an obstacle for PVP" but it isn't even an obstacle, it dies to a light gust of wind and functions like a slightly harder Immolator, it only has 5 spawns, 2 of which are in the same area.

I was hoping it would be a boss that could spice up other areas of the map, make you make use of some of those buildings that aren't compounds but it really doesn't, most of the time it gets found immediately due the proximity of it's spawns to Hunter Spawns and it does so fast it's dead before you can blink.

I think it could use a significant HP boost imo.

Yeah that's also what annoys me about it, it's a fun fight that only lasts about 10 seconds.

Another sticky bomb "Boss"

I was expecting, you know, roaming, the thing chased you round the map.

The first time I got absolutely battered and chased around, fireballs hurled at me and it was relentless. It felt great.

Then after that initial encounter just lobbed chokes at him and the fun was over. You can just shoot it from certain spots over and over and his fireballs won't hit you.

Not what I was wanting but it is just like all the other bosses. Easy and just something to attract players. Why it chases you and once it reaches a point it turns around and goes back to its initial spot. Why can't it follow you everywhere like regular AI?

Give it 2 weeks and it will be like RotJaw, if you stumble upon it great kill it. Otherwise nobody is going to bother.

Rotjaw is gonna look sick in the new graphics

I thought his fireballs were pretty insane. I think it's fine he only lasts "10 seconds". Of course I exclusively play solo, so my perspective is a little different. Maybe let him take another hit or two to compromise, but a boss like that we don't want to be kitting forever.

If it lasted a long time you'd just get 3rd partied constantly out in the open.

Which could have been very entertaining, proper roaming Boss with a couple of immo bodyguards which i thought was what was going to happen creating a massive fireball ♥♥♥♥ show somewhere on the map.

That's exactly what makes these fights interesting and why the community has wanted roaming targets for almost as long as the game has existed. Instead of being "Compound Assault: Showdown" all the time.

The first day of the update felt like exactly that and it was awesome, having 3-way firefights at Oro Mine, and Miners Folly was great.

I just had a match where he died less than 60 seconds into it wtf.
