The developers spent time, money and resources making a boss, which in my opinion was very fun and simply discarded.
I think the more content the game had the better, we could have a place where we would make the safes and face Malphas. They made a story, a city and just discarded everything? I can’t understand.
We killed him. He’ll likely show up as another farm boss for ubers, possibly in S5 with 30 new uniques.
Yes. That’s what I expected in the middle of season 4. But it didn’t happen.
I’ve been wondering about that myself. Why isn’t he back yet? And what about his son? The butcher must be terribly lonely in nightmare dungeons. Bring them back please
They should appear in the pits. The butcher in the odd pits and Malphas’ son in the even pits. It would add some excitement to the doldrums of the pit.
Malphas got the vault treatment. They’re all gone, turn to ashes because… reasons.
They got paid for it. Battle passes sold etc and it paid for itself. They might bring him back at some point in the future, it’s not like they just delete everything. All the code and so forth sits on a server and can be used at some point, perhaps in a slightly different format.
We’ll find out one day, perhaps.
Yes…but it’s a waste, the bosses from season 1 and 2 were added to the game.
I wouldn’t say it was a waste. When they add seasonal mechanics they are often testing the waters for later features. Like AoZ is gone from the game but the pit was clearly influenced by what they learned from AoZ.
I liked the malphas encounter I’m sure we’ll see other static bosses come back but with tweaks based on feedback they got from that fight. Same with vaults. I’m sure we’ll see some reincarnated version of them.
i dont see why every stuff should be added. sorry, that stuff is for poe.
i dont need every single season idea in the base game.
Dont worry. He will come. He is still just tempering as he ruined his first item set…
I actually quite like that idea
Maybe not everything, but adding a little bit every season would definitely make the base game more attractive over time imo.
It’s a delicate balance I’m sure, too many mechanics would clutter up the game making it annoying af to play like Poe but I think new mechanics overall would make the content richer.
He is under my bed… sometimes when I sleep with my arm hanging down the side of the bed I can feel him touching it.
Yes, that was 100% Malphas and not someone else.
(ಠ ͜ʖಠ)
You really don´t understand? They ofc discarded nothing. They will add it later on…
Bcs why add everything now when can sell it later.
They worked on DLC even before relase of the game 
i mean, thats kinda what they are doing.
quite a lot of stuff from previous seasons returned in a way or another. certain season specific powers had their comeback as aspects, aoz became the pit in the end. arcane tremors became the new helltides etc.
regarding the “what do we put into the base game” i feel they are doing a nice job really. Also a reason why im not really that worried if stuff gets broken in a season. a season can be a little playground. let them test weird stuff and let them see how it resonates with the playerbase to then decide if it could hold some value for the base game.
