Deathcon Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 So far we only know a few things, they've been keeping it pretty under wraps. What are you hoping for drops wise? Guesses to mechanics? Thoughts on kill speeds? Heres some of the info we do know. -no new armor or weapons -drops codices for abilities(new or buffing existing ones is still unknown) -solo AND duo -hp is scaled for duo -you can teleport out at any point -not a dps dummy, its an endurance fight Link to comment
Samimo Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'm guessing there will be an instakill mechanic, looking at Mod Camel's tweet, interesting! And my guess that it will be a typless damage one. I'm also hoping for other tough mechanics to deal with throughout the fight. For kill speed, I'm guessing the fight is around 4-5 minutes and then perhaps a little bit of shaving on the time. Link to comment
Chopper75 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 This is my very first new boss that I’ve been around for I’m hyped as fuck for it!! I feel it’s gonna be doing a lot of poison damage for it’s insta kill other than that I don’t know how the mechanics will roll. New Codices have me wondering if the ed2 codices will fall in price if these new ones actually make a big difference. Link to comment

If I remember right Solak had unskippable mechanics on release and it really wasn't popular to the extent that they changed the boss so you could DPS out of ever seeing some mechanics entirely. But Vorago is a boss that mixes timed phases with sort of minor DPS-tests periodically. It works a lot better on that front. I hope they found the right balance. I am excited for new drops and a new boss. I'm going to be honest I think on Day 1 I'm more excited for the RS stream content than the actual boss lol. Link to comment
Veggie Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I want: Adrenaline renewal replenishment flask recipe Super summoning renewal flask Overload summoning salves (current salves + summoning renewal) What we'll get: New threshold ability for magic that isn't worth using Link to comment
Kris_Kronkle Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Inb4 mutated conc but no mutated sonic wave, new constitution ability that is unusable by one style, and a soft typeless hit is accidentally released as hard typeless resulting in an unavoidable near one shot for the first day Link to comment
aPrayer Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Jagex when this boss comes out: Lag - Check Graphical Glitches - Check Unplayable mechanics because our servers are shit? - Check Unavoidable damage because a newborn could code better than us - Checkkkkkk Reverting Boss to DPS dummy about a week after release because of lag - Check Edited November 26, 2020 by aPrayer Link to comment
Deleted User Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We'll see what happens... don't really have any hopes at this point for what the boss might drop etc. Just hope it doesn't involve doing extra things for either comp or trimmed :$ Link to comment
Deathcon Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Pretty neat cutscene if you play the video Link to comment

Aside from that, I WISH reaper was still required for comp. Link to comment

I hope the boss is generally rewarding and while I know it has enrage mechanics I hope it also changes like araxxor/vorago every 'x' days or even every week to keep it interesting. Link to comment

I hope it doesn't tbh, arbitrary difficulty due to X% enrage is rather boring. If its endurance and fucking up mechanics is punishing enough i hope thats the route it takes. Link to comment
Red Rat17 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I'm not the craziest for endurance bosses (Vorago and Solak have been fun, but cause I'm with people. Killing the boss themselves aren't as fun to me personally), but gonna give this a shot . They say its difficulty is gonna be between Rax and Telos, and I struggle at Rax still, so may need more practice before grinding it. In terms of drops, Magic is definitely weak right now, but if they are not trying to do a direct buff, a book codex that lets you have all spellbooks at one time would be pretty sweet and full of utility imo. Greater Magic ability codex would also be good. Link to comment
Wolf Eyes Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I appreciate that it scales in duo. Solo content, in my opinion, is pretty boring. It'd be interesting to see some weekly mechanics to keep the boss interesting, something similar to Vorago. I'm hoping for the codicies to be beneficial for magic. Mutated Conc would be nice but I think Magic needs a bit more of a buff for the casual player. Up to this point, melee dominates in most cases so it would be nice to see something for magic.
