You and OOO have two choices for the boss either have him be ninja like in a way or just go like Vanaduke with one weapon. (Look at the CEO)
You can post which you like better below.

Just suggesting for the bump
Besides it kinda worked. Plus this seems to be the first boss suggestion to get four pages. The devs have got to have read this thread by now. Oak the boss looks very underwhelming. Not that it's bad, but it looks kinda like a granny devilite. And I saying this with no intended offense. Maybe make it look fatter. Not too fat of course. (I did not intend to offend you with my comment. It just seems underwhelming compared to the bodyguard.

I know that
It's just that I'm worried that OOO can't do it because it will have to much detail.
Besides do you see buff guys as CEO.
I don't think that the Apple Founder (Who died yesterday R.I.P.) looks rip.
That's why smart guys hire the dumb brutes to protect them. (Like Obama, except he's not that smart)
Besides if OOO chooses the bottom one the CEO might be a master in some kind of devil like martial arts.
So the CEO will be ninja-ing all over the room.
Now that I'm done with drawing the characters I will try and add color to their dull little lives.

Well just posting my thoughts
And yes it's true that I shouldn't judge the appearance. Any way the boss phase isn't that complicated. The levels we suggested Yes. But seriously. Do you notice an increase amount of boss threads lately?

My thought: tier 3 fiend boss
My thought:
tier 3 fiend boss is an idiotic idea only US player could come up with. In other words: someone so close to server they CAN put up a shield AND have it registered on server before they get hit, not after (like "normal" players living a bit further, just over the pacific/atlantic).
Maybe I'd think about it more if the game didn't lag so bad I wouldn't have to avoid devilite levels at all costs. Remember they're ranged, can move (unlike gun puppies, who are glued to the ground), are extremely fast, have almost zero pause between attack animation and actual hit and won't let you get your shield up in time if you're not right next to server?
Tier 1 devilite boss would be ok. There are already 2 tier 2 bosses. Tier 3 devilite boss? Thanks but no thanks.
I'd rather have european server.

#157
You did read the OP right?
I mean the only attack that would be fast is the pencil. I don't even think that the pencil is that fast. Besides a teir 1 boss? People would just play it for the gear and never play it again.
Fri, 10/07/2011 - 09:29
#158
wow. just wow.
way to give constructive criticism Round-Shinigami. It was nice to throw in the little attack against US players too, nice touch. If you want to say something that would help build the idea, thats one thing, but just knocking a fraction of the game's players and calling the idea stupid is just plain rude. Why don't you rethink what you said, and see if there's anything conductive to the idea building environment you could say.

Not to mention that if you know the issue is your connection, maybe you should be looking at your computer, your service provider, and not rage on US.

token award
i think the token award should be named... devilpaper (description) A special purple paper made from the firey trees of the underwold. A common choice of devilite buisnessmen.

#161
Well its up to OOO
OOO have definetley noticed this topic
And they chose which ever idea was put out there.
@Beastlikethat
Yes there is many boss topics because fiend is the last category besides Gremlins.
And right now this idea is #1 so they are trying to get their idea out their before we get even a fifth page because then we win over all others.
My next goal is to finish something by next week.
My life's busy right now.

Anyways
Does somebody else have ideas? It doesn't matter if someone made an idea about the subject. All ideas are welcomed, and I don't mind if you criticize my idea as long as you give a suggestion on how to improve it.

I know I shouldn't, really shouldn't
but, on an older, failed boss thread, a single comment on it suggested a similar boss, and he called it luCEOfer. I thought it was clever, it was just that the formal ideas on the thread lacked enough solidarity for me to build on them. here, I think a conversation starter based on the boss's name could get the thread continuing.

LuCEOfer
actually sounds like a good name for the boss. Thanks for informing us Dragoroth!

I enjoy a name like that, but
isn't OOO afraid to offend people religously? I personally don't think they do, but who knows.

Thank God
Didn't know if the thread would be on the first page when I got back

well Beast...
They've already made demons into office workers, puning on "jobs being H-E- double hockey sticks" so I don't think a play on words relating to big beelzebub himself will be too bad.

So much to do in so little time
I gave up on adding pixel color to the already done drawings I don't want OOO to have to find a way to avoid copy rights and all that.
Instead I moved on to drawing the city.
It's going to be hard, time consuming, but I should get the first and second level areas finished over the course of the next two weeks maybe sooner...
And I'm still waiting for people to come up with good attack ideas for the newly made devilite characters.
Try and focus on that instead of little side talk that doesn't need to be argued about.

Well time to necromance this thread
Seeing as the shadow lairs would be played by people who pay with real money, OOO needs an idea for free players. So lets try to get more support for this idea. Oh and can someone come up with a shadow lair version of this? I can't because I've never been to shadow lairs. Hopefully someone doesn't go overboard with it.
Sun, 10/23/2011 - 10:45
#178
For a shadowlairs version,
For a shadowlairs version, the corruption made the devilite a rich guy, transforming into a kind of yesman-overtimer and attacks throwing giant gold bars instead of pencils. He'd upgrade all his employees with the money, by giving thme shocking/stunning/any status weapons.
Also: a new enemy, homeless devilite-he was fired and now seeks vengance launching cursed cans(that can inflict curse D: , to mach the new slags of vanaduke).
Sun, 10/23/2011 - 15:12
#179
wow thats a awesome idea for the shadowlairs
It can have everything be white and decorated to look fancy. The boss could be a white overtimer/yesman devilite. The levels can have a bunch of those lazer things in the jelly farm (I forgot what they were called.) I'll make a detailed version of what the level would be like soon.

Sorry for the wait
Shadow Lairs Version- Boss level
Obstacles to the boss:
His stage now looks like a white and golden throne room. He sits on a throne, surrounded by two bodyguards with white suits. The clock appears again like the original level. When you step on the party button two golden trojan statues that were in the room come to life. They're golden so you can't kill them. Also blocking your way are pitbosses with golden suits that makes the immortal. Just shield bump them or swing your sword to get them out of your way. The final obstacle are things similar to spike wheels except the shoot out giant golden crowns at you. You can destroy the the wheel shooter, but the regenerate after each phase. The giant crowns however can only be destroyed by the golden trojans charging at them. (the crown wheels contains a lot of crowns so try to bait the trojans often)
Phase 1:
Now for the actual boss and bodyguards. The bodyguards don't block the boss anymore, but they knock you back more often. The boss himself haas gotten a huge health bonus. His only attack now, is him throwing golden bars at you. The bars have a shield breaking effect so your only choice is to dodge them. (the bars are much slower then reguler devilite projectiles) Damage him enough and move on to the second phase.
Phase 2: This is when he gets a bit more serious. He gains the ability to throw piles of paper money at you. This is similar to Vana's falling roof debris, except the piles stay for a while. If they directly land on you you get damaged and you get stunned. If you just walk into it you walk slower. Also the bodyguards' knockback attack will freeze you if you damage the boss. (Example: Walks up to the boss, doesn't get to attack, only knockback. Walks up to attack, Damages boss, Knockbacks and then your frozen.)
Phase 3: Nothing much changes, besides him throwing faster and two more golden trojans will appear. (The room is very spreadout so don't worry) Also some floor tile became freeze inflicting status traps so tread carefully. I suggest you kill him in this stage.
Special stage: Once again if the clock runs out you have to fight him in a special phase. The fight pauses and the CEO becomes enrage saying your wasting his time and that he needs to attend a meeting to make him richer.The stage becomes empty and instead of a gran faust pitchfork, he gets on a giant segway and gets a diamond pitchfork that glows with an eerie aura. He now chases you around to personally skewer you. Every so often he coughs out a gas that stuns you. He also can spit out his denture that will chase you. His dentures cause piercing damage and can freeze you. Your goal in this stage is to trick the dentures into biting the CEO so that he would fall down leaving himself open. Afterawhile he'll float back up and land on his segway and repeat again. His pitchfork has a charge similar the the an avengers except when the land they create a vortex similar to the graviton series. It is recommended that you avoid this stage completely.
Other things: He's immune to statuses. He deals shadow damage all the time, except when we talk about the dentures. His bodyguards are immortal so don't bother killing them.
Well I had to rush crazy, so just tell me if I have to fix anything. Also I think the levels should have a devilite thief. It moves very quick and it's only move is steal your crowns. When you kill it it returns it back to you. So yeah. Just post your thoughts. I don't mind constructive critictism.

@Round-Shinigami
why does everyone hate fiends so much? i personally find them quite easy. well, that's only me. i think it's because i use a heavy sword...
now, retrodes are another story...
just thought of random level for this stuff. "Payday." basically like a treausre vault except there are fiends, but more money. =P

meeting
for the last phase the people he was meeting with should come in from behind u and there should be a lot of them this is a great idea

#190
i just read shadow lair idea
i think his area for normal should be rowed with trojan statues that are normal stone then when u start the come to life and so on but they can only damage each other and you so u need to manipulate them into one another so they kill each other.
Wed, 11/02/2011 - 15:52
#191
@spyash
What if I told you the people he was meeting were the other bosses? Jk. Jk. But no to that suggestion do to the fact that would be unfair and random for the knights. They just killed the demonic boss of the devilites and what your saying is that they now have to fight a horde of teir 3 monsters appearing for no reason? No. Just no.
On the matter of the regular stage and trojans, Why would they waste time on that? Just wondering since players have a time limit.
On the lighter note, I'm glad that your trying to help with the suggestion.
Fri, 11/04/2011 - 08:22
#192
Just like to improve on the idea.
Indigo, you've changed your avatar again? :P
Have a few suggestions for the levels leading up to the fight - I'd also like to make that more interesting to go along with the pretty unique (and I daresay entertaining) bossfight.
I'm going with Michaelb's arrangement of the levels:
Stratum Level 1: Lucrative Lobby
Stratum Level 2: Wretched Workplace
Stratum Level 3: Corrosive Cubicles(preferrably containing many poison devilites)
Stratum Level 4: Sizzling Storage(prefferably containing many fire devilites)
Stratum Level 5(boss): CEO's Headquarters
Cubicle Warfare
Basically when you enter certain parts of each level there will be an area filled with occupied office cubicles with about 8 to 12 Devilites working away (probably mix the types up a little for Levels 1 and 2), and one patrolling Pit Boss.
Simple enough, the Pit Boss is pretty oblivious to you, as with the Devilites in the cubicles, until the Pit Boss is attacked.
At that point, the Devilites spring out to attack you, or to defend the Pit Boss (I'll explain this point later). This is the only time you can attack the Devilites.
What makes this battle even more challenging is that Devilites on low health may try to escape to a door stating 'Break Room'. It's recommended that you kill them before they enter, as Devilites entering will escape from the battle altogether, earning you no rewards. More importantly, when encountering another Cubicle Warfare zone in the level, all escaped Devilites will rush out of the corresponding Break Room at full health as reinforcements.
Thus, if all Devilites in the previous Warfare escape, you can move to the next, but you may face up to 24 Devilites and 2 Pit Bosses in a small area. Not good.
Pit Boss Benefits
As the Pit Boss' home territory, all Pit Bosses in these levels (maybe except for the boss one depending on circumstances) gain additional perks:
1. Calling for a 'staff meeting'. This calls all nearby Devilites to congregate near the Pit Boss, attacking all knights that stray too close. Generally trying to prolong its lifespan.
2. Firing Employees. When given the chance, a Pit Boss may effectively deny you a Devilite kill by 'firing' the employee for you, granting you no rewards. This will not occur in Cubicle Warfares, and luckily for you the animation for this takes quite awhile, so kill the weak Devilite quickly.
3. Manager - Yesmen that survive a tad too long will be promoted to Managers - essentially darker green versions of the Yesmen. Unfortunately, this makes them a lot more deadly; being capable of summoning more Devilites to the fray.
Obstacles
What is a CEO's office without its own unique obstacles?
1. Invulnerable, golden Devilites that rush around the office with huge stacks of paper. Crashing into one makes you lose up to 3 bars of health.
2. Filing cabinets may collapse randomly, dealing 2 bars of damage and stun. More as just a nuisance - basically look for the shaky ones, and backstep just before it hits you.
3. Flying Memos - in the form of paper airplanes, more prolific as you approach the CEO's lair. Each one hitting you deals half a bar, but be warned that eventually they will flock in large numbers.

I was worried Kentard
your name made me freaked as to the level of your suggestions but... they're pretty good.
I think, Indigo, that you should consider cubicle warfare into the level designs. It would be an interesting twist on this boss stratum, and would very definitely set it apart from others, added onto all the other aspects.

#196
WHOA
Lovin the idea SUPER GREAT STUFFFF... I think the third stage is a little over the top with stuff flying everywhere... but i guess it makes sense, considering he is now going to miss his meeting ^^
Maybe after the time runs out, the special phase is not that you have to defeat him, but you now have to SURVIVE for a length of time (since he really does have to go to that meeting). Thus, after a set time, maybe an overhead system or something will call down the CEO to the meeting, and he will be all flustered and rush over to the meeting. The rewards could be less/ different, being that you failed to defeat him in the first place (if there are tokens to be won, maybe you get less, or you don't get crowns/ heat)
EDIT: Ignore the first part, that 3rd phase chaos would just add to the survival-mode fun :)

@Beastlikethat
Aww, you care...
But I haven't posted here because the last thing I said I'd do was draw a swarm devilite hobo, but the thing is there's only so much that I can do after adding all these unique devilites, I can't really make any designs that make it distinct
@Kentard
You just made my hard work useless >.<
And not only that, but your idea for the boss level is just bad and morally wrong, just wrong...
Golden monsters will not come back to spiral knights, EVER
Flying Memos?

if you saw such a practice end badly, why would you emulate it? only bring up this topic to others in the most strictest regulation you can think of.
