Hey, first of all people, i haven't posted on these forums for a while and it's nice to be back. BUT, that's not what im talking about. I've been checking out the ideas for the devilite ceo recently and then i had an idea.... We haven't ever seen devilites on vacation yet...

So what if there was a boss called the Party manager, which would look like a pit boss wearing a party hat and holding a balloon? The setup of this level would be a large room with the party manager in it singing karaoke and holding his balloon, and there are ten balloons with the explosive timer thingies in front of the breakable stone all around the room, and when you come in he drops his mic and says "HEY! This is a private party!!" He spawns ten "vacation devilites" that look like devilite overtimers with blue eyes that throw phones at you. after defeating these, you have to go and destroy the balloons around the room without being hit by is mic which stuns you, and deals normal damage. after destroying all the balloons, he freaks out and starts restoring the balloons by running around to them and putting them back up. at this stage you can attack him, but he is completely immune to knockback and is running around pretty fast.

Stage 2: He runs back to his starting spot, picks up his mic and spawns two "party pups" reskinned rocket puppies that wear party hats and shoot little pellets that explode and make confetti on you, dealing the same amount of damage as rocket puppies. He also spawns 10 more vacation devilites. In this stage he will not only throw his mic, he will also shoot purple balloons at you, which deal pure shadow damage. Again, to deal damage to him destroy all balloons and attack him while he's running around restoring them.

These two stages will continue alternating as long as the manager is alive. As soon as you defeat him confetti will float down from the ceiling and you get four "party poppers" which you can trade in 12 to brinks for an "Overfilled Balloon"

Overfilled Balloon: Basic attack: a small air pellet that doesn't deal much damage but has great knockback. Can be shot three times before reloading. Charge Attack: You release a full whirlwind of air that resembles a large winmillion projectile. it deals as much damage as winmillion projectile, but has large knockback.

Please Tell me how i've done!!

Sounds interesting, I'm not sure Devilites get days off but it could be something Morgral'm ( Assistant Supervisor of Resource Allocations from Undercorp ) is trying out to see if it increases productivity. SK could intercept an invite and send some knights to investigate.

Release fiend related costumes and call it Operation Brimstone prior to this release.

The gun sounds like a pulsar with less damage and far more knockback making it an ideal crowd control gun.

This could be turned into an expansion mission like OCH or an event like the Tortodrones. While I am still waiting for a piercing themed event to show up I'd be happy so long as we get something new.

This is original :)

I like it a lot. This sounds like it could be an insanely fun yet difficult boss fight. I hope that it won't become something like MOTT (march of the tortodrones) where you farm for the key card and then get to face the boss, but maybe something like this could be a bit less annoying than crafting the key card:
If you kill all of the devilites in a fiend or undead themed level the last one will drop a material called a "Undercorp Invitation" (feel free to come up with a different name. I am terrible with names.) and if everyone in the party has this material that isn't too hard to get they can set up a team and go crash a party.
Suggestions for the Devilite vacationers:
Have them wear hawaiian shirts and/or board shorts with flower patterns or palm trees. If you plan on having some with status effects, their clothing could designate their status. Have them all wear dark sunglasses. Just to be funny, have them all sunburned a blazing red or orange. Then the clothing would tell knights what status effect they deal. Have some throw sunscreen and beachballs as well as phones. Possibly beach lounge chairs too instead of office chairs.
Could the party be around a pool? That would be rather cool.
Great job on the idea. This could be a fun summer event mission.

Great idea!

first of all, i would like to say thank you for the ideas!! secondly, Holy-Nightmare i will try to think of a different one for a piercing event. Eltrooper, the invitation idea is great! what there's like a miniboss battle before you go in though? maybe the security guard is a trojan (who is, of course, wearing a suit) who's and npc that you give the invite to but he doesn't believe you and becomes a regular damage trojan, which you have to kill to get in?Thanks for the ideas!

Holy, look at the description of the gran faust on the wiki. It says they have time off (very little)

like the idea

my only comment is to have some kind of obstacle while he is going around fixing the balloons. Something like dropping slippery juice that if knights accidentally walks on makes them slip 3 tiles in one direction the way they were going. This should make the boss a bit harder to catch while the knights are chasing him.

Nah.

I'd rather have it a rare monster, more than a boss. It just seems to silly, much like what a lot of people said bout the Mixmaster. Plus, it seems to fit if it's a pit boss. Why have a giant pit boss, when they all look the same, just with some accessories? I'd +1 it if it was a rare monster.
