The Balbala fight is incredibly stupid

There's no logical reason why "find where the invisible guy is now standing still" should be the answer to "stop the poison from filling the room". It's 100% pure gimmick. It's really highlighting how cowardly you guys are: so desperately afraid that some popular streamer is going to call your game the dreaded "e" word ("easy", in case that wasn't obvious) that you come up with the worst ever gimmicks just to add essentially fake difficulty. The fight is impossible until you faff around enough to figure out that running within 2 meters of Mr. Invisible stops the deadly poison for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Is this your game? That's your idea? It's the equivalent of those tests where they're like: "what's the next number in the sequence? 2, 4, ___?" It could be literally anything, you're just asking us to read your mind. Difficulty level: read the mind of the developers. Walk very very slowly the whole game and faff about until you kinda get what some random developer decided seemed like it added fake difficulty. That's your game?

Also most of his damage is literally unavoidable making this more of a gear check than other fights. Gear checks would be OK if you actually let us get any gear, but you don't. I think I've dropped like 4 rares in the entire game up to this point? Luckily I was geared enough to squeak by, but someone whose build has not come together yet and hasn't randomly dropped a half-decent rare has essentially no options on how to complete this fight. It's not like they can go out and just get better gear. They have to leave the fight and just walk very very slowly back later when they're overleveled. Boring.

Coward, afraid…
Could you show some respect for the devs ?
You play this game for hours and hours, and you lie. 4 rares ? You simply lie and insult. Disgusting.
God I wish your kind could be banned to get forum with clean respectful returns.

This just in: Guy gets killed in video game, gets very mad

i think his statement is somewhat valid. i had half a stash of rares at the end of act 3. And balbala was very hard as a slow melee char hence i overleveled and made him with lvl 32

Partially agree, in act 2 cruel I kill slow or stationary bosses in 1 minute, but balbala constantly dashes and teleports around so I have to freeze it first in order to hit it at all. Backstab attack is unavoidable, you just facetank it. And you must constantly dash across seals to prevent them from activating and spawning mobs, which further hampers your dps uptime.

This boss is the reason why I ragequitted at act 2 first difficulty before. Now at cruel, if not for a blink skill finally replacing clumsy and slow dodge roll, this fight would've been needlessly tedious again.

You have a weird fetish with total respect for authority while calling me a liar and referring to "my kind". Very weird and stratified, my dude. Most people don't just rank everyone else in a pecking order, that's just you.

I just counted. I've found 5 rares that are at all worth equipping on my character, 14 rares total. So I "dropped like 4 rares" (5) that are even options at all for me. My point still stands: gear checks only make sense if you actually can make decisions about gear, which you really can't at this point in the game.

Can you address my actual points? Like the logical disconnect between "make the poison go away" and "find the invisible dude"? Or are you too busy ranking your acquaintances in order of how much respect they deserve?

This just in: guy responds to internet comment without addressing any of the points being made.

See? I can do that too. Everyone can always do that. This is what you're doing with your time?

So, you dropped way more than 4 rares, but only 5 that you judge fine.
You lied, and you insulted.
Your kind i mean ppl with 0 respect.
It’s like that today for some ppl, not happy in a simple video game ? Let’s insult the dev’s
That simply disgusting.
There are many returns which explains things with manners and respect.
I mean what the hell ? Did you lose your job there ? Or some irl important thing ? No it’s a boss battle which Is harder for melee players.

Could you just post a constructive comment instead of blabbing like a child? It could have been a nice feedback about how the fight is unfair and needs a tweak, but instead, it's mostly about insulting the team because you "wasted" 2 hours of your time on the first week of a early access in testing phase...

If you don't like the current state, just put a nice constructive feedback or just go away and come back later. You can be sure they will just skip over your post as it is useless and the issue was probably already pointed out by someone else.

It become tedious to navigate between proper constructive return and insults posts.
