I am disapointed by the new bosses, they don't feel EPIC at all, and they are so weak..

> You know, it wasn't THAT long ago when Baran, Drox and Co were the new bosses. Try fighting all 4 at once at 60%+ quant, its part of one of the challenges.

Baran, Drox, Veritania Al-hezmin are exactly what i am talking about, i love these bosses, they feel more epic than the new bosses we got

But because of the perspective of the camera (top down), and the too quick introduction, that feeling is being diluted and the tone is not impactful enough

Their voice too doesn't match the theme of PoE, it's supposed to be dark, but they sound too much fantasy, not even terror, anger and despair

Again, nothing about the gameplay, it's the way i feel, nothing else


That is why i think you might perceive my replies as "entitled"


Delve was the last time i felt that epic feels (also Catarina from Betrayal, what a beautiful boss):

Listen to that voice... it is PERFECT, it's proper pacing, it convey the proper emotion

"Afraid of the dark, exile..? .. you should be..!"



Minus the rock music, it's too much

If delve boss had proper introduction with voice acting, it would be exactly what i'm personally seeking

Well like I said, the new ones are just really training wheels to transition folks into harder bosses.

For the longest time eradicator was more dangerous than the actual elder. I was kinda surprised to actually die doing elder, once both with maven and once without.

The reason they lack "flavor" (the new bosses) is because aside from being the training wheels they're also being retconned into what was an established storyline.

I get the disappointment, but PoE has needed a better transition into the bosses for a long while. I think it took me 3 leagues just to get my bearings with the atlas along with a streamer video explaining how the atlas (at the time) worked and its limtations and stipulations for shaping.

This league I've had to get caught up on all the changes since harvest. I'm glad the new bosses have essentially taken elder's old spot in progression. It did take me a while to get used to not seeing influenced items in the lower tiers.

I'm sure they'll flesh them out more if they decide to keep em.

They need a 1 m DPS cap when everything will feel epic


But sure play META where you can insta gib or phase bosses and no problem. Internet maybe ruined this type of gaming since it's basically an information/discovery war and all info is out there. Thats why streamer make thousands a month.

You don't need much dps to trivialise the new bosses. I used a 400 edps claw (dumpster tier, you could buy 600 epdps claws for 1-2ex or self-craft a 500+ edps claw with a few essences) with precision as my only offensive aura and was still able to phase the infinite hunger. No clusters, no omnscience, legitimately nothing fancy.

Have you actually fought the new bosses? They are a joke. We got Sirus and Maven (+maven invitations) in the last 2 big updates. These new bosses are pathetic in comparison, even with high quant/dangerous mods.

Yeah they are are little light... but try with 1m dps. Whole new challege. Besides they are supposed to be light as you get them every 13 maps. Uber atziri back in the day before all the cards and stuff took 1600 maps.
