phs.6089 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Can we get the boss fight changed to somewhat/ something, please. To say it's boring would compliment it. It's the Spirit Watch of Fractals. there I said it. i dunno how to put it more politely :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogba.6204 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 On one hand I agree, it's a snorefest. But on the other hand, the changes to Molten Boss and the latest releases (Oasis and Deepstone) make me dread drastic changes to Solid Ocean.

thrag.9740 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 No thanks, I saw how Anet "improved" molten duo, not a fan. If Anet were to have taken molten duo, and kept it as a single boss fight, but ramp up the difficulty or maybe add some mechanics (similar to a raid boss) I would have liked that. But if improvements mean adding a bunch of boring ads, no thanks, I'd rather just clear solid ocean for my daily and move on to other content like raids.

Lahmia.2193 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Improve it in the way they improved swamp, but not the way they "improved" molten boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombyturtle.5980 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hope they dont change it. Was the first real boss with actual mechanics. I love it for the nostalgia and seeing how far boss design has come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather them keep it as is, the changes they made to other boss fights are extremely boring, they just made the fractal last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogba.6204 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Solic Ocean is ancient (November 2012!). At the time it was fairly advanced mechanics wise, compared to the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phs.6089 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 I believe in Anet's creative team! Surely they can come up with mech that is interesting and doesn't put you to sleep. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they can come up with mech that is interesting and doesn't put you to sleep. :) Previous cases (with the possible exception of Swamp, but that one _started_ at sleep-inducing levels) do not seem to back that up. Personally i quite like jade maw, and it also has a big sentimental value to me. I'd rather it remained as it is. I definitely wouldn't want another molten boss style rework.

Hex.2579 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 i really want a boss fight or at least fasten up the whole process. it's just like it doesn't matter how much dps you deal, you're going to spend that much time anyways. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherofMalakir.4067 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 For me, all fractal reworks were great. Only "bad" thing for me was that fractal 40 farm was removed but molten boss is much better fractal now. On the other hand solid ocean is the one I hate the most because there is no reward for skill and strategy. You just run to the end, afk and get loot. For same reason I hate deepstone. There is no way you can fail but it takes so long because some things cannot be skipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Neither Uncatagorized nor Aetherblade end with a boss fight. So what? I like that fractals such as those 3 exist because it's different than the usual trope of "kill first mini boss, then kill main boss, collect loot" you see in 5 man content in every game ever.

cryorion.9532 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Please no :( Molten Boss, Swamp and Mai reworks are terrible. They literally just added 875421687 more mobs to fight with more gated parts... so... much... fun... These reworks was probably the worst thing that happened to fractals. I really miss old Mai Trin. The orb phase was actually fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry.5713 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'd expect them to add DPS phases (can't have interesting bosses without at least three phases, right?), interrupted by "crystal throwing" phases to break some shield, and or a ton of trash mobs, and possibly forcing us to kill all of the trash on the way. If it is anything along those lines then I very much prefer it's current form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate deepstone because it's long, but also because the fights aren't fun outside the spider queen and maybe the shadow minotaur. And having to activate those orbs of light?

And having to activate those orbs of light? Ugh You know why I love 99cm and 100cm? Absolute silence GODS, the next time I see Kai and Torin I gag them personally. The drama wouldn't even so bad if _both_ wouldn't need to finish their lines before advancing the fractal GRAAAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhaid Zhem.6508 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yes pls, put a boss like The Voice where you can't even finish your burst andyou spend your time to run on every corners every 10% life. Absolutely frustrating. Aquatic and solid Ocean are fine like they are. I would like more fractals, more challenge/diversity but I like to chill too and these ones are like a free reward, a moment of relaxation after cm.

I would like more fractals, more challenge/diversity but I like to chill too and these ones are like a free reward, a moment of relaxation after cm. Aside from the dolphin / light weed segment of Aquatic, I actually really like it for 2 reasons: 1- Daily Ornate Rusted Key 2- Guardian Trident is downright broken OP - I don't even know what my secondary aquatic weapon is, I've never used it. If underwater content was in any way relevant, I'm sure my trident would get hit with the nerfbat. The only thing I hate about Ocean is that a lag spike can really ruin your day, and you're torn between standing still holding a crystal and doing nothing, and gambling that you will be able to snag one while DPS'ing soon as the icon pops over your head.
