i partly agree with the dimension part
ars could add some stuff to the end or nether, like structures or mobs yk
just a little bit
we'd like to do some too, though we are packed with other ideas we are working on atm
also it is very very very hard to make a minecraft mob encounter that is not easy lol
Yeah. Turns out minecraft is a cheesable game. Bosses at least get to only be encountered by prepared players, so that lets you dial up the challenge without ganking random earlygame players.
I wonder what the ars presence in other dimensions would look like. Ars additions has some interesting stuff.
we have some ideas for a boss that should hopefully cut down on the common cheese, but it's inevitable
Minecraft bosses get exploited more than the Americas in colonization phase
People will find a way 😭
tbf, player will find exploited on every game boss not just minecraft
-# Minecraft just make it easier
Adam's ars plus:
but yeah even those bosses can be cheesed ig u use the specific spell senate made lol
If you want challenges you should uninstall ars nouveau
This mod way too op and Is also easy to progress trough it
An actual difficult boss would need a damage cooldown that can't be bypassed with
at the end of some spam spell and the ability of trowing spell at the player as well as some spell reflecting mechanics
(It would still be chesed)
If you want to be evil you can also give
and [homing] to his spell
Hold on... reduced healing skips immunity frames?
didn't knew that...
anyway:
Different bosses could interact differently to spells to make it more interesting...
And it could go beyond just elemental weaknesses or immunities - You could have one boss erase all magic projectiles, but be unable to do anything to forms that cast spell instantaneously, or have a Boss that upon receiving spell - cast it's copy as it's caster back at you, meaning you have to design a spell that can hit the boss, but not you (a gravity projectile could work really well since you could cast it from above the boss and it couldn't reach you back).
You could have a boss that is extremely difficult with massive pool of health, but take like triple damage from specific school of magic and it could change between them on a locked cycle to allow all schools to shine in the combat with it (he should NEVER be immune to any of the schools though because that kind of turns it into that one other boss fight where a guy was only weak to one specifically colored stick which both limited damage AND made fight heavily unfun).
The Ars Elemental pre 1.21 IFrame skip:
Cast
between damage instances with a Pyromancy Focus or T3 kindling thread
Nope, healing something inflicted with hellfire did
There were also aethermancy and aquamancy equivalents
It was sealed away in its own glyph because with the gatlings it was just destroying any attempt to make a boss challengeable in packs
So sad the ice one had to go, since it was Actually balanced
Freeze skip was made with built-in Gatling prevention, lol
