Out of Time!

You were inactive for at least five minutes, so your battle against Hydragellos has ended, but feel free to enter the fray again!

Well that is new to me...lmao.

and the damn thing to all my health, well that cost me a pretty to heal. ..Stupid boss thing a ma jigger!

it does that for all boss battles since idk when to avoid camping I think :p

I'd say make it so you can participate in all battles, but only your best score is counted. So if you only caught the last hour of one battle, you could try again on the next.

So crazy overachievers can still participate for 16 hours straight if they want, but you only need to fight for a max of 4-6 hours to get all the prizes.

I had an idea for something like this but I'm thinking it over and I doubt it would be fair or hell even doable....

I had no idea it did that! Was a first for me. LoL

I think the point of it was NOT to have to sit and battle for 24 hours. IT doesn't matter how you do the math, as long as the output is 24 hours it isn't fun.

This is why the site is having trouble keeping old members. It ain't because the site just suddenly lost it's appeal it's that people get older and suddenly don't have 24 hours to sit in front of a computer clicking buttons hoping to be one of the 15 people to win a weapon.

People wanted to see something else happen with boss battles meaning we DIDN'T have to sit here for a million hours. Making it where there's 4 hour hydras BUT you only get the highest point value from 1 of them = hardcore battlers/people with time and nothing better to do can fight all 4 of them in hopes of beating their own score, while everyone else can just fight 1 and be happy with where they land and move on with their lives after 4 hours.

This? Just means a break in a long ridiculous thing I can't be bothered to care about. I'll knock out about 25 battles and that's only because I wanted to watch some GoT vids on youtube & I have 9450835 loads of laundry to do inbetween traveling.

if I had anything better to do, I wouldn't even make it to 25 battles. There's just no point when there's people who'll battle from start to fin.

Yeah, wasn't there one year where there were two Hydras (maybe the first year with two Hydras?) and one hydra gave out like 15 cores and then the second hydra gave out 15 corse? idk, but I also just want to say that I still love boss battles and I appreciate all that you guys are doing. I know that there was an issue with people able to do Gelatin wars and so to see it happening again it's really great and I appreciate it. I just hope you guys don't take all the salt from this thread without soaking in the honey. idek if that analogy made sense but I do want to say that I'm personally not just trying to complain, but we've had smaller bosses, like Tempest, before and maybe you guys can have smaller bosses in more plots, with less rare prizes, to try and test out some of these ideas to see what does and doesn't work.

genuinely wondering: how much more negative feedback do we need to provide before the whole boss fight concept get chucked on the scrap heap? because if we never had another one, I would be so fucking happy.

- How would the killing blow work with timed battles? Or would you want to see it done away with?

Didn't we beg for a gelly war? Yes, some things could be improved -- but I'm happy we got a war at all.

dumb unnecessary luck based mechanic imo :p would sacrifice that in order for a more user friendly setup

I remember that. There was 2 different ones for different time zones and you could only fight in one. Thus giving everyone a fair enough chance.

have a "final round" that has like 5m health that doesnt count towards total damage after the other rounds, the final blow there counts for the one to land the blow.

speaking as someone who's gotten a "killing blow" core AND a top X damage output core, i'd be in favor of doing away with the killing blow factor if it meant we could move into an infinite HP, timed boss battle. one person having a massive stroke of luck doesn't really justify keeping around an old format when there's better ways of doing it.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not crazy. I thought it happened and it was a great idea, but it never came back so I wasn't sure. lol

Honestly, I'mma just start trying to trend because I do think a part of the slow progress that gets made to battling is that I don't think anyone who specifically works on battling is paid for that??? I could be wrong, but idk.

I just want to know who to yell at when I'm being very angry!!!

in kiyo, the same person got two killing blows of the three, but only the person who got the final killing blow got a prize.

Set up an achievement style:

The boss is there everyone can battle if they want and you can re-heal him if needed but there's tiers for how much damage is done.

And it can be cumulative (sp) And top damage tier is a core. (or whatever weapon of choice) Keeps it one per account too.
