There’s tons of other games where these type of fights can be done, not in Diablo. There isn’t a single fight like this in any other Diablo game. There’s a reason I play Diablo games and not the games with these kind of fights.

how to make a post without saying anything. Can you be more specific what “kind of fight” you mean

A 15 minute boss fight where 1 wrong move gets you killed, where you need 8+ randoms that know what they are doing in order to kill it.
Edit: not to mention it being up only X times a day, with a despawn after 15 minutes.

Sounds like Uber Diablo in Diablo II, on pub servers, with 8 random people trying to get that Annihilus charm.

D4 is a Diablo game in name only. Even D3, despite all it’s flaws, wasn’t that much of a departure.
Stop trolling. It should be pretty obvious what he meant.
Diablo is the kind of game, where a lone hero can stand and kill the Prime Evils.
Diablo is not the kind of game, where you need to raid a boss with a dedicated group and you get constantly one-shotted.
Diablo MMO makes no sense to begin with.

Sounds like a lot of fights in D2 and D3. Not sure what the OP is on. Theres a lot of issues with D4 but this is a poor take.
I still have nightmares about Duriel from the original D2 launch.

Ashava is lifted straight from WoW mythic raids
And you could take Duriel on as many times as you wanted, alone. If you wanted, you could outlevel it and try whenever you had time.

Duriel also wasn’t optional, Ashava is.
Also we are currently underleveled for Ashava, world bosses will be much better when your toons are actually the correct level for it.

diablo can evolve, you know. it still very much feels like a diablo game, just with new elements.

I don’t think it should or should not be in it but…!!
Jesus, my gear got broken, went back town to fix it, then the original 7 players i was with was gone with no boss spawn…
Then I had to keep wasting time Town portaling until i got match into an other group which has a bunch of under geared players, then knowing it was imposible and not to waste time on this time, I did it again until i hit another group which are now under leveled.
The mechanic of how this should work as an online mmo is what’s not working for Diablo and it never has been.
Not to mention I am now playing solo because those who are interested already lost them in the last 2 beta tests.
And looking at the current situation with the currrent balance (I am looking at necro, and any close range class in a close range fight that can’t land any hits to even generate enough resource to do anything)
I am really really considering a refund right now.

Don’t know about D3, since I played that completely solo, but didn’t really have that experience in D2 outside of trying to rush Uber D for the Anni; I don’t really ever really remember being in the same game as 7 other random people trying to clear a boss.

Personally I loved the Boss. The music added tension. Skill patterns are easy to learn.
Can’t wait to see other World Bosses after release!

Doesn’t matter, because you had infinite retries, whenever you wanted. If it was too hard, you could outlevel it.
Yeah well, maybe they should actually let us level to 25 then.
Evolution isn’t always a positive thing. The MMO part is actually what I enjoy about D4, getting 1 shot is not. I was also doing a LEVEL APPROPRIATE dungeon, and out of nowhere a butcher just came and 1 shotted me… like really? Why is this even a thing? is the next thing going to be asking me to buy gems to get a shield that reduces boss damage by 70%?
Relative. When the boss was going from top to bottom with the 2 circles and then the backwards swipe, I can’t see the circles. With all those people running around and all the puddle on the ground, it suffers from the same issue as wow: visual clutter.
The mechanics are easy, but I need to be able to actually see them, and they need to be in my screen…

yeah it sucks lost it twice in a row now with 1 bar to go
You are aware its a challenge right? Much like mythic raids or high level GRifts, its meant to test and challenge players. Some will clear it through skill some through luck, some just wont.
Keep trying you have more chances, you can get it.

Optional my right butt cheek. I heard that world bosses will be the only thing that drops the mats for adding gem slots to gear. If that is true than they are not optional content.

There are a few annoying things about the encounter. The first thing is once every 3 hours? The second is that you have a bunch of random people with you(unless you have friends etc). It’s basically rng, just like getting legendaries. You either down Ashava or you don’t and have to wait 3 hours.
Gotta be real… Fighting Ashava has been the most fun I’ve had during these beta tests. Once you learn her pattern it’s really exciting.

No it’s not. The boss is set to L25, people will outlevel it if this is how it will be on live. Mythic Raids aren’t something a random player wanders into and takes up a slot either, they require a set amount of dedicated players, and you can decide yourself when you want to fight it, without a time limit.
