Aul the Crystal King

Look, I've had enough with this... what kind of players do you think play your game? The bosses in this league are beyond a joke, the first boss is a face tank but Crystal King? This cannot be intended.... the build I am using dropped Shaper, Atziri, Uber Elder, it can clear all content with ease. The problem I have is this boss simply one shots you, regardless of health, resistances, immortal call, doesn't matter.. any kind of damage mitigation is irrelevent. There is barely a tell that he's going to do the strike let alone the chance to avoid it, what makes it more frustrating is that if you fail... load up the sulphite wagon and prepare to do a whole bunch of maps to get it all back again for another shot or two...

This fight has not be tested. Period. I would wager a huge majority of this league has not been tested, we are the test subjects. The first two weeks was bliss but the more and more I play the more I see the huge disparity between reality and the average player.... the challenges you have set for this league are beyond 99% of the player base. In past leagues, things have been achievable but this... I've stopped caring, it's not fun. I don't want to have to roll a summoner, totem build or RF to cheap my way through bosses.

Please. Map mods should not apply to ANY of the delve bosses.

To mention, I have seen this boss with a player having 8k health, 86% cold res and 90% phys reduction being one shot by the crystal king. This is a joke.

Intelligent answer

4 challenges to kill Delve bosses, including mutually exclusive encounters (e.g. 1 beam active at most vs 4 beams active for vaal boss).

After nearly 3 weeks of playing, I've ran into the vaal boss twice and thats all.

G fucking G to the geniuses who designed this shit.

If only there would be a way to sit down with GGG and talk to them, what and why drives them to make these decisions.

I even begin to see patterns, like seeing the same minds coming to similar conclusions. I see endless Quarry farming in Incursion in hopes to get that "Use these devices" lottery. I see endless Quarry farming in pursuit of Sulphite.

Was it foreseable? Absolutelly. Does it mean that GGG development cycle is so tanky, so rigid that it cannot be steered two months ahead of release date? Or did they simply not care until too much noise is heard from the crowd? Do they even do any type of pre-release playthrough testing? How many people and for how long?

Next stop - Delve bosses content is unaccessible for large majority of players. Is it a problem? Yeah, I think so. RNG lottery gated content is, sadly, GGG's family silver.

This boss is a literal joke.... This is by far the hardest fight in the game right now, mainly due to it being affected by map mods and RNG. I don't even think the rewards reflect the difficulty either and it's clear it's hard because it costs 3-4 ex to buy the clear off someone else... come the hell on GGG... please start catering to the average player too. My head can't even imagine achieving some of the boss challenges from it... I've been trying for 3 days now.
