world bosses

ArchivedUser

Any nightmarish looking creatures are fantastic in my book. I really like the pressure that's created by something that disturbs a majority of the player base. Gotta make something as epic as a world boss really drag people into the event.

Maybe something similar to these baring the Dragons and general world boss creatures.

The standard Golem Colossus is a staple.

That's just horrifying from what little you can see...

Really love the moving castle concept.

This is why I hate the ocean...

This last one is concept art for the Nightmare from Prey. I've always really liked the design of such creatures but sadly it's AI was a bit lacking in the game. Something like that would make if not a world boss, a good Nighttime stalk you and eat you creature if you ask me.

imo i don't think it matters what the WB looks like, as long as its mechanically challenging. I can't stand games where its just a face roll dps. Im hoping for some amazing mechanics with amazing rewards, as well as some amazing pvp fights o/

I'm thinking a smurf, scaled up to giant proportions, tinted green, all smurflike attributes removed, and bacon added

I'm thinking that coffee or more sleep might be needed...

Some of the best bosses I've ever encountered are from Dark Souls

@lexmax They certainly are among my favorites despite there being a vital flaw in every single one of their defenses. (I smashed the game using greatswords. The only 2 creatures that got me were the stone lizards and the guy riding the dragon in DS3

Inspired by DS' awesome bosses would be... well awesome. While I'd expect people to piss and moan about them being too difficult, I'm all for mechanic driven difficult bosses. BDO really left me wanting. PvE was never my favorite thing in an MMO but with BDO's total lack of interesting mechanic driven bosses, I'm dying for a change of pace @_@

Personally I would like a "Horde" world boss where some sort of local tribe attacks in full force, even sieging cities. Loot can be awarded from a clan chieftain or chest after defeat.

i think a horde/swarm as a boss idea is fantastic

Since NYT thinks this is a best seller, we need sword bird world boss. Not mobs. Boss. Gotta go big.
