I have a lot of experience in various games where programming plays an important role when carrying out a confrontation of any kind (PVE, PVP). Particularly in Diablo IV
there is a dynamic in which some bosses do not receive damage and not because of any particular ability, but simply because they decided that the transition should be
that way. This is absurd that just because of “programming” a boss stops receiving damage. Look within the company and see examples like in WOW where there are bosses
that no matter how powerful a character is, they cannot break the dynamic for x reasons (chess event - karazhan for exmaple). Here in Diablo, only the boss does not receive damage because… absurd. Do not
pay more than 70 dollars for it not to be programmed properly.
Only 4 forum guardians think that is “challenging” while all others don’t think so.
It is Blizzards way to slow down progression and have more challenge and fun in the game. There might be different opinions how they managed to do that, but for me immunity phases makes me crazy and I prefer to do other bosses. I hope they dont listen on this and change every boss to have immunity phases.
Just Farm Belial.
You are welcome.
don’t blame the devs’ programming.
it was the youtubers who mocked the devs for providing a lame boss fight and bragged about how good their RMT build was.
the devs had to react and won this round.
those youtubers shut their mouths this season after eating back their own medicine.
Duriel is fine
Andariel on the other hand… way too much stuff going on.
Yes these bosses are technically challenging, andariel in all the wrong ways. The problem is they’re not rewarding. If they dropped better loot than T4 belial I don’t think anyone would be complaining about a bit of mechanics, but currently they don’t.
Yeah it’s fine for boss fights to have transition phases but only if the bosses power up or switches to a new form and uses new mechanics. But just to heal and then repeat the same mechanics? Might as well just let us kill it quick and autostart the boss dungeon for 2 more rounds but without the boss mats. as that’s essentially the same thing.
They must buy lots of cosmetics so Blizz listens until the CC auth clears.
