The bosses (SPOILERS)

Hi all, I would just like to say that I don't think that the order of bosses don't make sense.

Warning this will contain spoilers

First of all you have a UFO flown by penguins. Fair enough

Then you have a robot you built which drops the item required to get to the next sector .If you built the bot surely you could just make the thing required for the next sector. I know that it is to make it more interesting but maybe rethink that boss a little.

Then finally you have a dragon made out of bone and not much bigger than the UFO. Surely you would be able to kill that faster than the other two bosses. So maybe just rethink the progression of bosses.

I know that it is early in dev and they will probably change this anyway but just wanted to put that out there
Also just wanna say that I'm not saying my idea is better than chuckle fishes because after all they made this brilliant game .

Feel free to add whatever you think. And give me so feedback on my suggestions

 

I completely agree with the robot boss.
And I would love to know how they make the bone dragon make sence with the "quests" they "are" going to add. I mean, is it the result of some techno-necromancer playing around?
I think most people will come here spouting "it's only placeholder" or "it's only beta, it will make sence when the game is complete", but to be honest I doubt that chuckle can make this game make much sence

 

4rth Boss:The Jelly King;a giant purple jelly that summons more minions and has 3000 HP.You need the item it drops to get to sector X.

 

True but ah well it's the fun that counts in the end. I'm going to go play it now
Thanks for the feedback

 

The jelly king makes even less sense. C'mon it's made of jelly slice it in half with your giant space age fire sword

 

Also the jelly king seems like a copy paste from Terraria. Don't get me wrong I love this game but some of it needs rethinking

 

Don't doubt the creative power of the mind!
That aside, it is an entire universe they are working with here. Considering most of our enemies in the Starbound universe are

... Anything is possible, and a lot of things could potentially make sense.

I disagree, Terraria did not create the 'slime' alien archetype. It is practically ancient in that regard.

EDIT: don't get me wrong here, I agree with a lot of the points made. I don't think the boss progression makes sense at all. There needs to be a build-up instead of place X on the floor; use X to summon Y boss.

 

The big thing I hate about the dragon is that the parts of it that can hurt you can't be hit. In other words, he gets close enough to touch you with a foot and you take damage... but if you hit him in the foot your weapon goes right through him.

 

Now that is something that is unfinished, you can expect to see some improvement upon boss Hitboxes, A.I. and optimization.

 

Yes, we can expect it, but it's far from a certain that anything will be done to improve it. Better that many people let them know if they think it should be changed.

 

Eh. I've been playing video games since ye olde Atari and they've been a trope since long before Terraria.

 

Okay, it's just because they are similar games with a similar boss. And they are two games that are compared against each other a lot. Having this boss doesn't help the situation

 

I think the only interesting (and worthy) boss right now is the UFO, since it has a lot of different attacks/minions and is just a lot more interesting to fight because of that (they could increase damage output a little though).

I really think the other bosses are still WIP, because that's how they feel like, like unfinished concepts compared to the detail that went into the UFO boss.

I'd love it if they got rid of the "craft item and spawn boss" system and instead made lairs for the bosses on special planets you'd have to travel to, that'd be so much more interesting.

 

Yeah that's a lot more interesting. The crafting of the items don't even make sense. To make the peanut butter trap it takes forty dura steel bars and pixels. When you make it, it is just a fricken wooden box. Wtf

 

Definitely the Jelly monster was ridiculous. I understand their trying to add humor to the game but its kind of cheesy. I think they might change it in future updates.

 

I agree with a lot of what's been said. The bosses after the UFO feel "rushed" and don't make much sense.
And am I the only one that finds the bone dragon's sprite/art completely out of place; too detailed compared to everything else in the game?

 

The UFO boss is so much more complete because they had to have it ready for i49 so it only needed minor improvements. About the crafting, the distress beacon makes total sense to me, including the crafting recipe more or less. But everything else seems like a placeholder.

 

Without a doubt the UFO boss is the boss that makes the most sense so far. And his crafting recipe is the one that makes the most sense. But as for the rest like you said... Placeholder
