coso.9173 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I mean, the design is so awesome! the idea behind it too, a scary creature that hunts you down and devours you or makes you disappear, the scared npc's, everything about it is so cool!but the fight itself is a bit of a letdown, it's a simply hp piñata that sometimes teleports to a nearby victim.Now I heard they'll make another dragon thing a world boss for episode 2, but we've alrady fought so many dragon, and dragon things before. the boneskinner instead, is something much more unique and neverseen in game.Would you like if it the boneskinner was made a world boss with harder and more complex mechanics other than just zerging it down?

They buffed it with changed scaling, so it is harder. Before then, it didn’t even seem to teleport or live long enough to do soOp, it will be a strike mission boss with apparently very important mechanics to follow.I’m kinda ok with the fight now, but it is disappointing not to have it stalk us throughout the whole episode as well.

Jimbru.6014 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Imagine if they had given us a scene where Almorra went down fighting, killing a bunch of Icebrood and Svanir before being killed by the Boneskinner, instead of her death being off screen and alone.

Teratus.2859 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Considering all the hype around it I was pretty disappointed that it ended up being just some random event champion that really isn't that hard to kill or very special.The way it was shown off in the trailer suggested it might have been something cool and important to the story or something.Shame.. it's a cool creature which could have had some cool lore around it..Hopefully it'll play more a role in the next episode or something.. if not oh well.

It does fail if the group doesn't bring and CC which more often than not rarely happens. I did see it fail twice, but other times, it's easily beaten.

Michram.6853 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Boneskinner was bugged due the bad scaling.It's now harder and more engaging, also all the mechanics can be seen and the fight is pretty damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to go to completely new places, races, creatures, lore.BTW I think the map is expanding to the west where there's water and ice under which the boss is/was supposed to be.@Jimbru.6014 said:Imagine if they had given us a scene where Almorra went down fighting, killing a bunch of Icebrood and Svanir before being killed by the Boneskinner, instead of her death being off screen and alone.In the last Guild Chat the lead writer mentioned they'll be going back to Almorra's death and revealing more about what and how it happened so maybe we'll get some type of cutscene.

I'm loving the whole atmosphere of this story and the whole thing with the Boneskinner is the best part of it. He should have been more than just a rando champion. A world boss or even a strike mission to chase him down and finish him off would have been fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flog.3485 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Personally I wouldn’t like it to be a world boss. The model of the boneskinner feels too small to be one. If they are ever going to add a new world boss, it would be better to have another Tequatl-like model and fight. I hope Drakkar will be like that.
