January 19th - You're Not The Boss of Me

That is a real nice boss, real challanging, good work.

 

Reminds me of the bottom of a certain lunar mining expedition...

 

The design of the boss is very original, imho.

Hopefully there's going to be more creative bosses like this.

 

Laser tentacles!

 

There are indeed other bosses (penguin mech, UFO and you could debate that the floran gladiator is a boss but its realy just a buffed up floran npc). But this is the first one, as in the first one you run into on your first mission. Before there were no boss on said mission.

 

Well, it has to be, dosen't it? since it's the first boss, you don't want a (Insert the name of a super hard boss here) kind of boss

 

Uuuu I am tempted to play the nightly now, but I afraid I would be spoiled by it till stable.... The worst boss of all, spoilers!

 

Futuristic hentai. I like. Not in that way...

 

Cerberus from Devil May Cry 3? I don't know about the devil, but I was crying bloody tears by the time I beat that thing at the beginning... And he was the second-ish boss (First, if you consider that he's the first unique boss you face).

 

Imagine my surprise when I came back to this mission for a leisurely second playthrough. I thought I had taken a wrong turn!

 

This was the first time I've played since the last Stable release. I tried nightly and got to the first mission. I didn't expect a boss like that! Was a fun fight, one that I had to do twice because, well, unstable.

Either way, I'm excited to see what other bosses you bring out in the future. Keep it up!

 

Imagine if it had a voice. Would it sound like that Sovereign guy from Mass Effect?

 

I p

I disagree; many people fear that the Starbound team has "taken the money and ran" and no new updates after this one are coming. If it doesn't come out this month or soon after like it was promised, a lot of people are going to agree with that theory. Already people are suspicious they have delayed the update thus far.

This is not to say I don't trust starbound's devs, but other people don't. I would hate such a cool game to lose their huge following before the first big update is even out.

 

Those Hammer Guys on that Mission hit invincibly hard... how the hell is this Boss gonna be beatable when he's gonna hit even harder...?

 

A shield is your best friend in this one.

The map could use something like checkpoints, though. It's kind of a pain going all the way to the end from the start.

 

First off, they have released aloot of updates, just not in the stable branch. Try unstable or nightly. ("I dont want to play unstable or nightly" is hardly a valid argument when your playing something thats early access).

Second they didnt promise that it would be released this month. Not even close. There exact words where "we’re trying to push these updates to the unstable branch next week and, depending on how that goes, pushing them to the stable branch in January."

Saying "We will do this depending on how this work before goes" is hardly equal to a promise that it will be delivered at the time specified.

The latest we have heard from the devs is "its still on track to be released this month" but thats just a status update not a promise.

 

I am tempted to hear a BGM from Ikaruga when I'll fight this boss soon.

Say, any more content update about the Penguins? What if there are friendly Penguins? What if the Peruvian Giant Penguin came back to life because of them?

 

It dosen't actually hit that hard, ~21 DMG per hit, i believe

 

I'm with you on this one! The first time I went down there, I was killed in two hits from the hammer guys. The second time, I ran past them, and fell down the hole to the mining machine. It took three times to get through the mission in one piece.

I'm going to go try the new boss with my (current) end-tier equipment.[DOUBLEPOST=1421779951][/DOUBLEPOST]Well, next time I play through from the ground up, it's going to be a much harder game. I already saw they "fixed" the Penguin Mech battle. Players like me are going to be waiting for the alternative advancement paths...[DOUBLEPOST=1421780167][/DOUBLEPOST]

Checkpoints! Yes, that would be very nice. One right before a boss battle, such as this one, would be great!
