Heyas fellow knights, this is my first idea and post on the forums so plz dont b 2 harsh XD. Ok so i had an idea about a new boss called the arcane snarbolax and arcane priests and i thought u guys moght wanna c it xD.

Firstly, It would kind of be like the Snarblax base-plate and view, but instead of it being in the woods it would be like ancient ruins. There would be a Statue of The Arcane Snarbolax in the middle back and would be plain buy have a floating halo above of its head. It would not be moving and it would just look old and dirty. Secondly there would be two other things either side of it. These would be Called the Arcane Priests. They would look like knights with the Barbarous thorn shield on there backs and they would have the barbarous thorn blade in the ground whilst they are holding the sword looking down.

As soon as your party stepped on the button the Arcane Priests would step backwards onto a grill, like tho ones the ice, fire, poison and shock status come out of. Then the status would shoot out of the grills whilst the Arcane Priests are still on it. Then the arcane priests would walk out and some features would have changed.The first Priest who had stepped into the poison will have rabies, his Halo will be green, the tip of his sword will be green and the shields red bits will be green and the Eyes on the cap will be green. The second priest who stepped into the shock will have the same things but yellowy-blue color on everything listed on the first. The third priest will have the same but the color will be Whitey-blue because they stepped into ice. The fourth Priest will be red-orange because they stepped into fire. The reason for this is because the different priests will inflict the status they stepped into, onto the knights when they attack. (Intermission whilst Knights kill the Priests or the priests kill then knights)

After they are defeated the party once again step on the button. As they step on the button the camera pans onto the Arcane Snarbolax Statues Eyes. They Glow Blue. Secondly the halo glows blue. Thirdly the Arcane Snarbolax breaks out of the statue and attacks. He looks like the normal snarbolax but the red features of the normal snarbolax will be blue. It is killed the same way as the snarbolax, with a bell. There are four bells on the map, one in every corner of the map. Once It is defeated, They could obtain Arcane Fragment tokens.

They will be used to obtain the shields and weapons the Arcane Priests use. So The poison sword would be the same line and design of the normal Snarbolax sword but with more poison damage and maybe it looks like poison is dripping off the edge. Plz send in some art if u have the time to resemble the boss and weapons. I would do it but i'm terrible at art. Also, please say what u think the other like 2- 5* items like the poison snarble barb and change names and then the other ones fire, ice and shock and then names for em. Same with the shields. Thanks for reading it, and as i said, its my first forum post so plz dont b 2 harsh. (srry for any weird typos)

new boss

i want to mention that tier 2 got 2 bosses.id like to make one more boss to tier 3 and tier 1.i that would be intersting.i imagine a gremlin who trps the knights and put them to the fight with his huge robot(this shall be tier 3 boss). the tier one boss..mhhm..something easier .a fiend monster ...it shall not be big.it shall wear big armour on tim and also a blade.it must seem like an exe-knight from spiral order,who decided that he shall serve the creatures of the dark.i leave the three rings and sega designers to figure their shape.they did it without help so far and did a great job.

Thanks, it was originally a support request that's why there was a lot. I also try to put some art up there. and for anyone who does put some art up there for me, ill give them 1k. I know its not much but its not bad considering maybe a noob who is really good at art reads this XD

You can come up wth an original mythical creature, no need to fall back on snarbolax again.

Ok, i suppose so...

Ok, i suppose so it could just be the arcane priests but i thought the arcane snarbolax would make it more fun/ harder

I Really hope...

I really hope people will think this is decent, it took me a while to write it :S

I Actually Really Love This Idea

I love the idea of the priest the only bad thing about this is the game already has a snar its not as original +1 Here and Hope 3rings takes a look at this one......:))

very nice idea

I think it would be pretty cool if the snarby had a halo above his head :)

and its a good idea with the two priests:DD

Aced-Acer

Four Priests...

Four Priests, Sorry if it wasn't clear, i meant there would be two either side of him. In front of the Four Elements Poison, Shock, Ice and Fire. In that order.

Thnx for the +1 though Amaaziing.

I don't care really what kind of boss the next one is. So long as it's t3 it could be a bunny for all I care lol. Nice ideas good to see people putting forth time and effort :).

Junecat

"insert emote here"

I think this may work as a T3 or Danger Mission boss, though I do think the main boss could be something other than snarby

Thanks for the support and comments guys, i like junecat's idea of the Danger mission or other T3 monster, that what i intended it to be anyways, a t3 monster or another SL monster. Thanks guys and I have now +5 of those +1's XD

Yea the boss as i said in my comment after Junecat's was it were to be a T3 boss, Danger mission boss or another SL Boss. But i doubt it will b a SL boss coz we already have 4. Thanks for the comment though Benightz

Suggestion for your suggestion:

Paragraphs.

Thnx, It was originally a support request that's why there is no paragraphs, Would you like me to add them?

PARAGRAPHS!!!!

OK, there are now paragraphs. Hope it's easier for you guys to read!

Paragrapths make it easier to read.

I couldn't be bothered to read it.

#21

Aced-Acer

Its laziness...

its laziness if you dint read it, not because its too long or the paragraphs. I can read this in like two minutes or less.

Tue, 08/14/2012 - 01:53

#22

Softhead

I wasn't bothered(WITH NO PARAGRAPHS).bECAUSE IT PUTS ME OFF,

When it's not there, it the laziness of the writer no to use proper grammar, and the fact it hurts the eyes.

I'm not going to strain for something like that?

Vaclavv

Now that there are paragraphs.

Now that I've read it, I'd say it's half good. The stuff with the priests is decent. The Snarbolax thing, not as much. If OOO is going to add more bosses to the game, it would serve them well to come up with something new. We already have two variations on all existing bosses as is (except OCH).

-Priests: Ok
-Snarbolax: Meh

Aced-Acer

Thnx Choobski

@Choobski

-Priests: Ok
-Snarbolax: Meh

Choobski if you have any other idea what the snarbolax could be changed to or what could be useful to make it better, please tell me.

Tue, 08/14/2012 - 07:51

#28

Vaclavv

The Problem with your

The Problem with your Snarbolax is it's basically the existing one.

"He looks like the normal snarbolax but the red features of the normal snarbolax will be blue. It is killed the same way as the snarbolax, with a bell."

If the Developers are going to spend a lot of time on a new boss battle, they'll make something different than what we already have.

Expand on the Priests idea, they could probably be a stand alone boss battle themselves, skip Snarby entirely.

Tue, 08/14/2012 - 08:16

#29

Aced-Acer

I suppose...

I suppose so, i could make the Priests the main battle, or i could change the way of the snarby, as in maybe it could shoot like blue love puppy bullets out from its mouth, or when it goes underground if the spikes then shoot up, something else happens with that. The snarby was just to make it a little harder.

Wow this is rly...

wow this is rly cool, i love the idea of the priests and the snarbolax because there is not anything like the priests at the moment but there is the snarbolax and rabid snarbolax. There are two snarbolax's but if there are some moves/bigger features changed it could be really good.

I'm speechless, That is

I'm speechless, That is really great! I'm hoping that a boss like this will come out soon. What would be great is that if they have a boss like these for Snarby, Twins, Jelly King and Vanaduke.

Hazardfox

you mention arcane, there's

you mention arcane, there's the arcane salamader outfit so why let them make the chroma boss, because do we realy want another overgrown wolver?
this realy could be something to look forward to, that and an undead boss, realy vana is more fiend than undead

Fri, 08/17/2012 - 12:04

#33

Aced-Acer

Well thought...

Well thought Hazardfox, I suppose it could be a chroma boss, not that this is what your saying but chroma is still beast like wolver and snarby. It would be nice to have a chroma boss, but what would its name be? Arcane Chromalisk sounds a little boring. Perhaps there would be like a leader of the chromas, like king tinkizar, I think his name is, the leader of the Gremlins.

Too many snarby's?

I like yur general idea, but yur making sound like the other versions. One snarby can take so many relatives*cough, cough*.

Sat, 08/18/2012 - 02:13

#35

Aced-Acer

I know...

I know that there are two other snarby's, but I suppose i could try and figure out some other things to do with it, Check out post #29, i know its not the best idea but its better than nothing. Please if anyone has any other ideas about what could make the snarby better, or a change for the boss, please tell me.

Coming-Storm

YES!

Love the Idea Aced. Love it. From the first time you said "ARCANE SNARBOLAX" in my face as I was quietly and innocently sitting in the meadowy left garden, I knew something was going on. You had an arcane halo above your Snarbolax armor, and I began to chuckle. " Aced, you have a great mind " I thought. And yes, you do. I love the priests, but I have to agree with one of the critiques. I believe you should come up with another name for the Snarbolax, for it already has too many relatives, and it is already a prepared beast. Maybe give your beast a separate name, but keep the Arcane. I totally support this thread. +1.

"try not to write so much it puts people off."

*Headesks*.

If replacements for snarby(Ideas):

Head Priest, Archbishop, Bestial Deity( NOT Vog), Arcane Dragon, giant Greaver, Vampiric like Enity.

Thanks for the ideas to replace the snarby atrumvindex, i like the idea of the dragon and head priest. or Archbishop. 'Arcane Archbishop' Perhaps so. Ill think about that.

We don't need over nine-thosand snarbolaxes, we already got a rabid snarbolax.

Aced-Acer

I know what...

I know what your saying Incinization, if you have any other ideas of what the arcane boss could be please tell me. I mean, the Snarbolax could have like shadow valk wings on it back and perhaps look more rigid/old. it could have different moves, for exaple, Comment #29, and perhaps instead of bells, there could be a stun vial spawner, and thats how you defeat him. Also, perhaps a silkwing spawner. This was mentioned it should be a T3 or DM boss.

SK is good enough right now, they already have maulos, would you really call that a boss?
Well they got that + Seerus, Snarby, RT, Vana, Slime thats 6 right there man.
We've got 6 BOSSES and they are good enough.

Also,

Saying that is like saying "No more enemies, there are several", or "No more levels, we have enough", or "No more having enough content, we have craploads."

Also, why doesn't he say that in other people's boss threads?

People want more content.

People want more bosses, as they are a fun addition and most of them get boring quickley.

When was the last time we had a new boss with a stratum disortion?

Last year. The others were basically buffed, CE walled copies, and more like miniosses with the rest and the final one is unaccessable for any other F2P who don't have steam.

I love how he's trying to be like most of us, yet he's falling down on his face with the most stupidest arguement ever.

Not even about thew boss itself.

A thanks to everyone who posted.

Thanks everyone who posted and supported me, and the supporting criticism has really helped because sometimes your ideas aren't great, therefore you need someone to set you straight and tell you what needs to be done, and what is good. Thanks for the useless comment(s) Batca and robot though, they were just pathetically useless, especially Batca's.

Thanks for everyone who has supported me so far, Aced-acer.

Turn the Arcane Snarbolax

Turn the Arcane Snarbolax into an Arcane Angel? Dunno what it should look like. If anyone plays League of Legends, theres a champion called Kayle, maybe the Arcane angel should sorta look like her, but Kayle is not an angel :(

Oh, it should be a T3 boss cause it would make it much harder. Shock and fire in T3 is a pain.
About the rewards, I'm not really sure if I like it, but I think it should be armour (but I dont know about it's stats). Since its T3, the armour should start at 4* and the 5* recipes are at Basil (not HoH)
