R162

R162 is bringing reworked harder PW bosses.
They have new skills and attacks (keeping the old ones)


ps - I will make updates later with info and pics.

 

From what I've see, Grimmag now have fiery tornado's and Heredur can spawn Ice Archers (same as Miller) and on top of that makes a triple Ice Nova explosion.
Wonder what other boss have?

 

Here are 2 pics from my side, I had some time and being able to inform others isn't a bad thing... drops seem the same, just a lot of silver is added
Grimmag's new 'skills': fiery tornados after every laser and meteor (and he uses both of them much more frequently)

'skill':


Drop:

Took me quite some time to beat him but note that it's a TS acc with legendary items that I got from those packages.

That's it for now, I'm off to read something. Cheers.

 

On painful mode bosses do not have new skill . i guess 1 more skill for excruciating and 2 more for fatal mode...
And % enchantments looks like have more minimum value at fatal mode

 

so what? Drops are going to be better ?

 

Doubtful... more work for the same cruddy drops.

 

Grimmag:
those from Dylannn's pics + he is using MC . So rangers should forget about healing and SWs should forget about hiding behind the guardian. Also ... if you are not summoning the minions he is casting MC at you. He can't MC the players BUT ... your damage will be reduced by (believe it or not) 60% for 10 seconds



Arachna:
All previous skills + 2 kinds of spiders ... those from the eggs are just like in Q2 m2 they are buffing up all the others including Arachna (BTW they just copy pasted them from q2 m2 ... therefore they are dropping loot during the fight ), the net is breaking the armor and stuns ... and there is another kind of attack something like poisonous breath or something ... it breaks armor and can kill in one hit



Heredur:
Now he hits in 360 degrees ... no matter if you are in front or behind him you get hit (if close).
He is now also teleporting and using triple frost novas ... spawning Ice Archers as well.




Bearach:
Same as before + he uses Lightning strike and casting shield barrier.



Khalys:
Same as before ... killed her in painful mode it was same as before ... in fatal mode I couldn't survive the first wave.
(so I guess it is the same)

Mortis:
Same as before in painful ... I didn't even try fatal.
Now the Skeledragon is not there to attack you at once ... he is rising from the ground when you approach (old school like before few releases).
The room is always light and it looks little bit bigger (or maybe not).

At last ... the drops
I have killed those 4 bosses in fatal mode 5+ times ... the drops were same old crap in quantity and quality. (I only got 3 legendary items from Arachna once ... from the others 2 legs).
So where is the improved drop?

 

That is the sad and twisted part, I would be totally excited to take the challenges if the drop was worth it, but I guess we'll find out for sure when they hit the live server.

 

If the drops are still crap, I'm seriously thinking I've had enough of this game. I've got quite a few game bundles that are waiting to be played....

 

okay guys, understand it like this - after BP knew about bugs and etc, they haven't even touched them in try to show us, that they can make the game harder for us and the drops maybe will be same crap, after I made 20-30 kills hero fatal all I got were only dumb level 1 uniques and only one shield on level 3...I don't understand why the drop ''sucks'' so much, but if I don't drop Predator before/after R162 DSO is RIP for me...I'm pissed of from the game already so I will simply shut up..

 

Gnob's offers are all crap, so there's no reason farming any more drakens
and
Now PW bosses have new skills making them even more tough to beat with same old crapy loot.

These two updates narrows down my gameplay to just STONEKEEP and STONEKEEP alone
Already reduced my game-time by half. Not sure how long Stonekeep will keep me interested

 

Their pre-patch notes look so optimistic don't they? They always do. The reality is they always make things harder or take something away that actually benefits players.

 

These new updates are not inspiring. Like MANOJ I love Stonekeep, but the Miller has become annoying. The fact that they have added these stupid archers to Heredur makes me wonder if any dev has ever played any game, let alone DSO.

 

i farm heredur fatal a lot of time (5-6 hours per day) the loot is really bad I would say, but maybe after R162 things will get better. But what about the unique items like Predator, Hero cap level 3 and etc? Is the drop going to be increased ? Cause its useless to make one or two bosses mega strong and the loot be same EDIT after all

 

When you say drops are crap, is it the quantity or the quality?
If the quantity is not as what it says in the patch notes, then it is definitely a bug and we should report it.
Quality on the other hand is subjective.

 

What this dude said

 

looks like, that unique items drop, but you must kill bosses 50 times per day in try to get even one, if R162 do something about this bad drop we will see it, but if not? What is the use of searching for something, that seems like impossible to get? o.o

 

So harder PW bosses (those notes look painful, SMH... even Arachna, for goodness' sake!), same reward. Nice! Guess they should just scrape off any & every "better loot" line they deliver us... most (if not all) of them seem to be untruthful. No, sorry... I talked too soon. We get more items... green and blues most of the time, it seems, but still... more... oh, and more coin stacks, hehe.

Cool new feature about reviving group-mates.

Nice to have Gnob as a fixture... hope his "limited offers from time to time" will be announced in-game, LOL. Also, since he comes with his spheres... I hope his typical 2 sets (Darkness & Dragonache) will still be available separately. Yes, "duh" hopes... but nowadays, you never know what they might come up with...

Great new costumes, good way of making them available. It's not even been long since the contest that gave birth to them... . *sarcasm*

Kaylin's cloak seems "meh" to me... YAY, now Nefertari has 2 of those "bleh"/random uniques as possible drop!

About the Deluxe Premium... so, if you get it but won't keep buying it, then while you're not "Deluxe" will one not be able to use the wings and the pet (since the patchnotes say they can only be equipped/summoned by those with the new Prem.) ? Also, what does the pet do? If I saw right in a video from TS a little while ago, there are two versions (available in a Gnob sphere - there were 2, and the more expensive one said it will have higher effects) and... it has one random line? No info on that? Minimum or maximum values on stuff? Whether these new Prem. users will get which version? No? Alright... at least it's better than the Blue Phoenix, LOL.

Nice that you can drop higher tier gems now.

Ah, LOL... I thought it was intended that regular Hard bosses (meaning Gorga, Herald, Sigri) had a level requirement of lv45. Did they only revert it to lv40 for Gorga? Haha. It seemed logical to me when I first saw... most of lv40s can't do well in a Hard fight anyway... judging from when the level cap was 45 and mostly all Hard groups were 45, not 40... cap-levels didn't want or take lv40s with them. Eh, my apologies... forgot that sometimes when we see a good thing, it could just be a mistake.

Uh, no... unless I remember wrong, there were more costumes in Zahir's shop that did not get a 25% off when he had a sale, not just the Helios one. So, again... they only corrected that one? Pfffhaha.

 

LMMFAO!!! Harder pw bosses!!?? Guess BP wants to make sure NO ONE gets any uniques from bosses.
Hello? .. HELLO!!!! Is anyone there?
I think they all FELL ASLEEP at the wheel!
You go through the "hard work" of creating all of these uniques... but then lower the drop rate on them to the point that almost no one gets the chance to enjoy them, or all of that "hard work"

INSANE!!

Doc.

 

It's always been like that, though. If you really want something in this game, the best chance you have is:
1. Abuse the crap out of one of their oversights
2. Take advantage of the first implementation of whatever they release
