Would be cool to have some flying bosses. Currently most quest bosses are really repetitive and two dimensional. I imagine they could add an item that allows flight, but is only usable in bossfights against flying bosses. Right now all most bosses do is just run at you and try to hit you or stand in place an shoot you with terrible aim. I get that there are a lot of quests and that all bosses cant be unique but at least some bigger quests could have more unique and harder bosses.

Flying bosses could be used to extend boss time
Ex., have it spend a decent time in the air then have it land for players to beat the crap out of it

#

give it dr while flying so ranged classes don't exactly have it super easy either

shoutout to levitating enemies that just disappear into the stratosphere when you uppercut them

Only downside is you gotta be close to said enemy for it to rly do what it can in the air

make so if you downstab you rocket jump like

#

trapper is nearly useless in that fight too

#

riftwalker and arcanist have problems depending on how high boss flies

Can op only damage groot when its flying a few dozen in air

#

a boss fight that makes over 1/3rd of archetypes (borderline) useless is horrible design

*stares at TCC for summoner

did you ever think why golden avias have only 50 hp

trapper hater here

#

Vro wants some classes to not be able to do content

#

Trapper rights matter

lusty field
#

i kind of get where this comes from and i think a flying boss with a LOT of considerations for how players would be able to hit it in a fun way would be cool

#

but it's just not very feasible for more than the gimmick of one boss

#

the entire combat side of the player'S AT is practically built around the idea of fighting on a completely flat, convex area where the boss does not leave the ground ever

#

some bosses only mildly skirt this description and it already has effects like summoner being really hard to use against the canyon colossus, trapper just kind of having to cry in the nol escort 3rd challenge, etc.

That's the level of post y'all engage with now 😭

Things like that

#

Ah ok

#

Yeah flying enemies are notoriously annoying for most archetypes to fight

#

also bosses do have some custom movement, it's just quest bosses earlier on that are more outdated

sweet helm

#

that is option 2 indeed

burnt swift
#

Nuh uh😭

#

I'm not that bad

jaunty vault

#

Anyway yeah the vast majority of archetypes would struggle really hard with flying bosses

#

Lack of good ranged options or limited air time being the deal breaker here

dapper parcel
#

this is epic but ct are COWARDS and would never add this because of made up concepts like "would be really annoying since wynn isn't really designed around being airborne" and "screwing over half of the archetypes in the game"

#

also sun attack is a good example why flying bosses are horrible idea

People forget the reason everyone hated on Foxxo was because his level of cluelessness bordered on art, man didn't just woke up and went "hmm, today I'm gonna piss off everyone", he carefully crafted his points to achieve that goal

Guys he might be on to something

Outer Voids boss when???

#

I dont think this is possible but I think the concept of underwater bosses could be explored, assuming spells and abilities get tweaked to work for underwater combat

brisk matrix
#

original post does say that it could give temporary flight, and swimming is just flying in water

deft elbow
#

The original post makes no mention of tweaking abilities to work for the concept

brisk matrix
#

🥴

deft elbow
#

If underwater combat were ever added I'd want it to be actually designed

#

As people pointed out here, the idea of flying combat makes certain classes objectively terrible

brisk matrix
#

but what if abilities were tweaked to work for the concept

deft elbow
#

I think it would be inherently harder to tweak many abilities in a way that makes sense for flying combat, that's what would make underwater different

brisk matrix
#

I genuinely have no idea how an underwater and a sky battle would be different (counting the player having free flight) ngl

deft elbow
#

I'll put it this way: it makes some level of sense and isn't too terribly jarring for a summoner's puppets, for example, to be swimming around in the water, but it doesn't really make any sense and would be very jarring for them to be flying in the air

brisk matrix
#

oh you were talking from a thematic point of view, I was thinking of gameplay xd

deft elbow
#

Pretty much

#

I'm making a concept for an ocean rework with underwater combat in mind so I'm planning on ideas for how each ability would work underwater to make them all viable

iirc, he said his highest lvl class was 51...

That is to say, they do that in addition to having basic spells from the old system
