Boss Pacing (First Three Bosses)

So having played up to the Ferozium tier, I have a decent handle on the game, but all the bosses seem to outpace the gear. I know there are a lot of people having problems with the penguin boss, and this is indicative of a greater issue.

At the first boss, you can have iron/silver armor at it's best. Now for me and the others who have beaten it, imagine playing this boss in the open, no cover and without cheesing (i.e., trapping and exploiting the boss with the environment). It would be damn near impossible if not entirely impossible.

Now the second boss, the AI robot. With the highest level available gear, armor and weapons, this boss was still one-hitting me. So again, I exploited by trapping him in glass blocks and hacked away for 5 minutes until he died. Awesome.

Flash forward to the third boss, again with the highest tiered gear for what is available. The bone dragon's pinky claw on his foot would one-hit me, and the embers left over from his flame attack did 85 damage to me. So again, I had to exploit the environment, trap him, and pwn him slowly.

Surely this isn't intentional, and I mined and crafted the BEST available items for the tier I was at! Bosses need to be tuned better to what is available..

 

I saw on reddit that they are tuning the boss the first one is going to have less health and will be lvl 9. So seems like they know about this so far and all i can really say and don't want say is "it's beta" But for this it fits. Also it's only the second day so give it like a week or two and everything will be different I promise.

 

I'm not worried about the usual beta issues. I know they've been playtesting the first parts of the game, so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one wandering what the hell was happening, since this is less of a programming issue and more a design issue.

 

Yea i made that first boss item and he is a total tank in hp but i'm just going to give them time work things out. I don't plan on playing to much more of beta. Waiting on my new pc then going to play planetside 2. Just thought would try beta get a idea of what to expect then go play PS2 so i don't burn out on starbound like i did for terriria when it first lunched.

 

PS on the main web page tonights update says there changing the first boss abit, for the other bosses have to wait till more people get there. I think its only a handful of people who even seen the other two.
