Title says it all. Can we expect a T3 boss anytime soon?

I don't feel like writing an essay about how bored SK has become, you know it already. A T3 boss would be nice and it's been a while since we had any new boss to chew on. We got new mobs, would be great to implement them in current bosses. I could see some Scarab in RT instead of those mechas and some Glop Drop with JK and some dust bunnies with Snarbolax

How long as the bosses been like that?

I'm not talking about promo bosses or danger missions bosses. They give nothing. The only real payout for the danger missions are prestige and a room full of 40 boxes.

New boss = New aracde door = more levels randomized to play in, is it really a bad thing?

New boss = New token and new gear/items

Well yeah it's about time you make new content that are actual gear and not costume/accessories... no?

What you'd like to see next?

Balancing? (Dat Polaris aoe, Dat Chaos set, etc.)

T3 boss? (heck don't even talk about T1 boss, Snarby is good enough and JK *could* be moved to T1)

Promos?

Of course Battle Sprites are coming but come on... I didn't need shield bash or dash or battle sprites to solo FSC or solo danger missions. I want something new to chew on for a while....

And have more than 1 specific mission to farm cr please? that would be appreciated

A couple stuff

"some Scarab in RT" Perhaps for FSC, I don't need undead in a construct/gremlim boss o_o

"some Glop Drop with JK" Maybe it's me, but RJ feels hard enough solo (first two levels at least). I could do it with a bomb though...

"Dust bunnies with Snarbolax" That's something nice I guess. Fits nicely. Even they look somewhat similar.

"New boss = ...." They'd have to expand the arcade for that o.o Also can we do something about that empty space to the far right? It's bugging me

"Balancing?" I still like to think polaris is fine as it is... No other comments

" T3 boss? (heck don't even talk about T1 boss, Snarby is good enough and JK *could* be moved to T1)" RJ was in T2 since preview event I think, no need to add in more T1 boss. While we're at it, let's not break the current mission system. I'd like to see how a new T3 boss would fit into the missions though. And the arcade.

"Promos?" We just had one, let the attention die down a bit. We can expect something with sprites. Or maybe wait till Dark Harvest, or a little before that. Summer maybe?

"Of course Battle Sprites are coming but come on... I didn't need shield bash or dash or battle sprites to solo FSC or solo danger missions. I want some new to chew on for a while...." I don't really care, I just want new *toys* to play with. I still can't solo vanaduke with no deaths so no comment :'D

"And have more than 1 specific mission to farm cr please? that would be appreciated" This is your own fault here. FSC gives the highest payout, correct, but farming the first level of twins ONLY gives you 1.2k cr for just 10 energy (good for beginners), RJ first two depths is somewhat viable, Gauntlet arena too... Sure we should have more than those though.

TL;DR:Yay wall of text

Take off your mask. Then show us your Smile.

I think there may be more armour in the works, but apart from that, some gear balancing would be nice, and it would probably be easier for Three Rings in the long run. As for new bosses, I'd like an Undead Boss: Margarel (Margrel?) doesn't count.

Forget about Undead bosses and that fake fiend icon on Vanaduke. Give people a fiend boss that isn't a silly Maulos (Blitz puts him in his grave) that is something like Vanaduke's health, flies like a gorgo, throws projectiles like devilites and on projectile impact a greaver mist spawns. That should satisfy people who want some actual hard content. /joke

On serious notes if you want to do it that way we have: Construct (Twins) Slime (RJ) Beast (Snarb) Gremlin (Seerus- but expansion only). Lacking Undead (Margrel- does not count as you said) and Fiend (Maulos: Danger mission, does not count) and Gremlin (for those who don't have expansion) Vanaduke is still gonna count as no-class. Interestingly, this downs the bosses left to something that should deal shadow...

And considering the huge numbers of elemental weapons we have and blitz Needle I think fiend and undead bosses are gg.

my 2 cents

The sad thing is all those lovely Thread in the suggestion forum with bosses and thought out depths/items/challenge/lore is just being ignored.

/sigh

The OCH boss isn't that hard TBH, I T3'ed him on my first go no rea with my buddy. Both of us were doing it for the first time... and so does Magrel (the kat thingy ghost), they didn't put up much a fight and the danger missions are *ridiculously* easy...

Werr... wat 'bout Tortodrone? It could be new boss, isn't it?

I'd like to see some gear

I'd like to see some gear balance and then a T3 boss. While they are working on the boss they could just bring back Kataclysm and Nonna or something.

Tell me that double post which occurred with a different of timing of 5 minutes was a delay glitch.

@Kimah: If they bring back nonna I'd want to see something new, not the same mewkat, love pup and chromawhelp.

Shadow Lairs. I know people have mostly forgotten about them, but those are some fun levels.

They should really just make those free already.

Besides that, I think FSC needs to be redesigned, especially Vana.

They havn't answered any of our open threads, and i don't think they start answering them in anytime soon.

Maybe we need to email / send in letters directly instead to express our concerns.

Why do you guys even bother

Why do you guys even bother wasting energy posting your great boss ideas? (i k it sounds like it, but this is NOT sarcasm).

The developers dont listen to you guys. They do their own thing. I must say, some stuff is pretty interesting, like the poison fire slimes in C42. Then again, I am only a 5k prestige player.

Aside from recycled content (shadow lairs), the only real new boss was the Crimson Hammer one. But that you had to pay for, even though its not too expensive.

And so the cycle continues....
-Players give honest suggestions
-Ignored by devs (and mods too, they just correct bad language and EXTREMELY occasionally chat)
-Devs come out with some gimmick while claiming to be working on something big.

Happens in a lot of games to retain players' interest.

To sum it up, I think the Devs and Mods are very nice people judging by their lrevious forum posts (could be faking it, no one really knows, but Im giving benefit of the doubt here). They act nice, but ultimately ignore player suggestions, no matter how great they are. They dont even make a thread on why NOT to do what the players suggest.

Oh yeah, if you find multiple examples of devs/mods actions that contradict my opinion, please post them without being a d*** about it.

Thanks for reading guys. And yes, ill be the moron who does the hashtag thing.

Thanks.

You labelled yourself a moron, so I don't have to do it for you.

I could go into some detail here, but honestly I've argued this point too many times for it to be worth doing again. I will just say: If they weren't listening to any suggestions, they would have closed the suggestions forum long ago.

Funny that you bring up C42, because didn't that closely resemble one of the better thought out suggestions?

@Voza I'm sure somewhere there has been a thread that recorded the stuff the GMs have been posting recently, and some actually responded to suggestion threads. I'll go dig it up.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Voza, I'll let you know that the current guild halls came from the suggestions forums, at least partially.
