Hardest Boss in game?

Cronopoly · January 2017

The hardest boss in the game? Is it RNJesus?

You go to a dungeon and complete it, experience the story etc. Great. However the gear you received is less than optimal as half of what you received is Training, Prosperous. Or worse a Stamina set with Magicka traits or vice versa...

Lets say the dungeon drops 3 sets (Light, Medium, Heavy sets)
07 Armor pieces
09 Armor traits
11 Weapons
09 Weapon traits
02 pieces of Jewelry...

I laid this out in Excel and assuming a broad chance distribution and only one type of Jewelry Neck or Ring per set I came out with 519 separate types of potential drops if ANY boss dropped everything available. I know this is not setup this way for multiple reasons obviously as certain bosses have been confirmed to only drop certain set pieces. So even if I cut this number in half is 1 in 256 RNG acceptable for something that we cannot sell, not that half the junk would anyways...

Though I seem to get way too much Training and Prosperous gear which seems they are highly "weighted" to drop. Last patch notes we saw some pending adjustments again to loot tables in certain dungeons regarding drop rates.

I wish the consternation we see on a daily basis was about a Boss and tactics but it's not. It's about RNG delivering the death blow to groups regardless of the dungeon run. Prices on select trait for Spriggans and Spinners is out of control as all the dungeon sets are BoP.

Screw being polite, I'll just say it, many of us are putting up with this because Camelot and other MMO's are not available. That's right I said it.

Truth be told I like this game, but we willingly put up with being farmed which starting to get to me...

And now with the release of Jedi as a class... I mean housing.

I believe our playerbase is going to go into a tizzy of "have's and have not's".

Loading Screen Boss.

He's a pure RNG and there's noone killed him.

Your clickbait tittle got me. I wanted to read about the game but it is another thread about how everyone hates RNG.

You make all the right points, just like dozens of threads before. It is a shame that so (so so so) many people take the time to come to the official forums to complain about the same issue and there isn't any sign that it is being listened too.

I don't think there is an easy solution. I actually wouldn't want the best items to drop the first time because the content is fun for a while, but the horrific RNG means that the same content is played over and over again until long after it is fun. If logging on feels like a job then I may as well go and do something actually useful OR actually fun.

At first I was like "yay! I can solo for my gear!" And "yay! Dungeons have a reason!"

It quickly went into..

"Wait a sec..." and "third m@$!# f@$!# sharpened bsw bow huh?"

To...

"Wait the odds are WUT??!!"

Then finally...

"Up to 30, can we guess what item we don't need this time?"

The funny things is the RNG here is nothing like as bad as the RNG in the new Star Wars ToR end-game.

Players have gone through all 300 levels of Galactic Command Crates and still not got anything useable, mush less and complete set.

You cannot kill him but with a SSD or hybred it improves dramatically.

Tested this out on my wife PS4 vs mine with a hybred 32 SSD and 1GB HD. My system loaded faster.

I wonder if the PS4 Pro with a Hybred or SSD would load even faster.

Not to mention the 'Hard Mode' version "Unusually long load time".

Man, I was looking forward to an actual discussion of in game bosses. Your clickbait title, and my falling for it, has left me sad now.

Traits are the real problem. Balance traits and this problem goes away.
I'll post you a suggestion that I keep making (this hay to be like the 100th time):

Precise up to 15% (or 10% crit chance and an 8% crit damage multiplier), nirnhoned to 33%, sharpened and defending remain the same or become 25%. Powered gives healing done and significantly buffs light and heavy attack damage to make it effective in weaving builds. Charged increases chance for status effects and doubles their effectiveness and duration (this would be cool in both PvE and PvP). Decisive reduces ultimate cost in addition to the current buff to ultimate gained. Prosperous buffs gold gained and increases the item drop chance for rare items to make it useful in farming overland sets. Training remains as it is. Infused applies to poisons as well to make it worth using on dd characters and PvP.

Hardest boss in game ?

PvP zerg combined with lag. You will never know when, how, where or what killed you...
