Time for a new boss?


ghjkl

Recommended Posts

The last real boss added to Runescape was the Corporeal Beast, back in summer 2008, while Tormented Demons were added in November 2008. It has been over 2 years since any real new challenge to people in rs. Since then, the Corporeal Beast, once thought unsoloable, has been soloed with a bronze spear without armour. People have been getting 50 kills at bandos soloing, and every world at every boss is packed during peak hours. Is it time for Jagex to add a new challenge with high level rewards?

jagex is just to damn worried about unbalancing the game or some [cabbage] to release anything worthwhile. Dungeoneering was such a great opportunity to release new bosses and they failed.

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.
...
It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

There are supposed to be other Dungeoneering places released with batch 2, right? Maybe we'll get something there.

I'm sure not many would mind if there would be a new one released every month.

Bosses never stay 'Bosses', new equipment comes out, yet bosses rarely change.

 

They might add some nex bosses in Dungeoneering batch two in those surface dungeons.

Let's hope, because the more bosses, the more choice, the more fun :)

Ideas for drops:

 

New belt slot and belt drops

 

Holy ring (Which can be imbued) +4 prayer and +1 in all defense stats.

 

Higher level capes.

 

Dragon defender parts (Maybe) which also would be buyable from a shop for a high price.

I'm hoping we will see some above ground bosses involving the dungeoneering skill tied in sort of like slayer except with bosses involving dungeoneering. Maybe they could drop some primal armour or something, I'm sure people would love getting primal armour outside of daemonhiem.

dragon kite

dragon cbow

dragon warhammer

 

new mage robes/staff

 

better thrown weapons

 

more range/mage helm selections, more ring selection, more gloves, more niche weapons (like seercull, zgs etc.)

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

How about they make a boss that can only be soloed and is instanced? That would solve a few problems at once. Like masses making the boss too easy. Or having trouble finding an open world. Oh, plus you have to risk because nobody is there to bless. Sounds cool to me. Maybe throw in a slayer requirement.

There isn't much in this post that I don't agree with to be honest. Although a belt slot seems to be heavily out of the question, it would certainly add another aspect into the game. Higher level capes would be pretty interesting as well.

What they should add is a boss that is different everytime it spawns. You need to enter the room, but you can't see inside and you have to tele/make it to the other side of the room and pull a lever in order to get out. Every time you enter, there's a chance it is either: Melee, Mage, Range, or a combo of any of those. That way you don't know what type you will get, and it will be an actual CHALLENGE. Go charging in with your bandos and whip, only to find it maging your [wagon] would probably make you panic. It's ability to use prayers can be optional, and it may be teamed, except it gets harder with more people.

We've needed a new boss since God Wars Dungeons. Tormented Demons are way too easy, and the Corp Beast's drop rate is way too low.

 

With a 4-5 man team you can basically AFK all GWD bosses. The Corp is boring to fight because the point of killing it is to get an elusive rare drop, however those drops take weeks if not months to actually see somebody get one. TD's are like fighting a normal monster that uses prayer and switches combat. And any other boss...is not worth mentioning.

The new boss, unless Corp-like would be soloed day and night by people like me, and the drops for at least the first day would be used to get into the high street market.

I would love to see Jagex create an instance dungeon like Godwars. Each instance would contain a series of creatures which would compliment the number of players as well as the players' combat levels followed by a high level boss. . There would be a interface which would display information such as the players kills,deaths, time running, etc. Drops could include the aforementioned.

1. it better put corp to shame and take real skill

 

2. as one of my biggest motivations in rs is the small hope that the lvl cap will be raised to 120, i hope if its extremely hard that maybe with all stats at 120 it could be solod

We have plenty of Bosses as it is. First thing's first is work on the skills so that the game isn't dominated by Boss Fighting alone. High levels have ENOUGH updates now.

Disagree with above. There are currently very, very few (0??) updates I would consider truly high level for combat.

 

Agree with UNTRADABLE drops.

 

Some sort of monster that perhaps actually takes skill to fight or is different every time. Maybe a boss where it has been designed so that you are actually benefited by having people who use each of the combat styles on your team, instead of having everyone use the exact same gear and combat style.

Finally a real discussion! It's kind of sad I've been away for over two years and don't really feel I HAVE to go monster hunting right away to check out some new amazing venue.
