Most annoying thing about Blight: Bosses one -shot the pump
|
This is the most infuriating mechanic related to this damn league. Why does it have to one shot? Would it be some kind of crime if the Boss maybe 2-3 shot the damn thing? It would make fights not come down to some idiotic DPS check.
These fucking bosses have way too much life in a LOT of cases. Fucking annoying as fuck. Last bumped on Oct 29, 2019, 12:52:32 AM

Yes, I would say that blight is just as bad of a dps/speed check as things like incursion or legion. GGG need to stop punishing tanky and slow characters so much.

" This kind of playing just sounds antithetical to their vision. I mean, many other games balance for slower tools of engaging like Dark Souls and its heavy weapons, or shooter games and bolt action rifles and pump action shotguns, but they clearly don't want that in this game for some reason it seems. Melee must be more frustrating than normal in this league. |

The worst part about it is that any blighted mob with a charge attack (including some of the bosses) will charge the moment it sees you, leave its designated pathing lane and then just run straight to the pump.
This league is very raw and un-polished. |

Completely agree, this league has really stupid dps checks.
That is just cheap game design. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading. Last edited by Fruz#6137 on Oct 27, 2019, 1:41:45 AM

It is pretty dumb for sure.. I'm a big tower defense fan and one of the games i play quite frequently Sanctum 2 features some arguably nasty bosses and while they are a significantly higher threat to your pump(the core) they certainly do not 1 shot it.
The panic that sets in when a boss is at the end beating down the core in sanctum 2 is wonderful and it pushes you to really get better rather than be demoralized the second it reaches the end because POOF its all over like with the pump in blight. I'm not sure how well this would be received but if the pump could take a bit more of a beating but it reduced the potential loot outcome would that be better? Given the rarity and cost of the blighted maps idk.. Perhaps better because you at least don't blow up an expensive AF map because 1 thing touched your Pump lol... Innocence forgives you

I failed like 50% of the encounters due to
1) unbalanced state of the league content (ONCE AGAIN) 2) half a dozend bosses coming from different lanes destroying the pump in like 1-2-3 in blighted maps 3) monsters running like +1000 movement speed from 4 different directions to the pump, which 4 out of 5 of the characters i played this league can't handle at all. 4) getting one-shotted myself (especially from bosses outside the screen (GGGs specialty) It's not a bad idea in itself to make a tower defense mini game (although coming like 5 years late), but its buggy, laggy and unbalanced. For me it makes no fun when the whole screen start being wobbly and shaky, when the framerate seems to drop to like below 2-digit values. But since the rewards are so terrible this league, its no big loss, since almost everyone, except some streamers already left the league. I played like 6 weeks, 6 hours daily -> dropped 2 Ex, 1 silver oil, no big item, NOTHING LOL At least better than the 10k fusings i needed last league to 6-link |

This is what happens when you have aRPG developers trying to incorporate a totally different game genre

GGG stuff should play Lost Ark and see how bosses fights made there. Arenas larger, no one hits, telegraphing is much better, everything is better actually.

I agree with what reported, and I add:
the portals always appear next to the pump (not fix), with bosses the mobs don't respect the roots at some point, there is such confusion that it is impossible to manage the rewards are not consistent (0 silver oil, 0 opalescent and 0 blight maps). The blight map that does not drop blight maps, this is a paradox for posterity, you cannot play maps of the blight league, because in the rewards of the map called "blighted" they are not given. Blight or "" tower defense "" (some tower defense for smartphones are made better) is ridiculous, poorly made, badly managed, and even bad fixes, or fixes that don't work at all, I don't think I have to add anything else, than I already said . |
