Why not a super boss?

Not that it bothers me, I like guild wars for so many different reasons. But maybe an addition of a super hard boss to the game would of been a good choice. Maybe a team of 10 players would be required for the instance, and the boss would take a very professional, and developed team to beat. The Titan missions after Hell's Precipice was hard, but not a real challenge. I am aware that PvP is a good challenge, and i do not dispute that, but an addition of an exceptionally hard boss for the hardcore gamer would of been nice. What's your opinion?

Like Glint, only harder! I vote for a hugely powerful Charr boss in Old Ascalon, or perhaps a Charr boss that is attacking the Ascalon Settlement. It would be nice to have another reason to go back to those areas.

Precisely. Glint was ok, but still again a little on the easy side. I like PvE challenges, and one that was extremely hard to beat would only drive me forward more to better my character, and go on quests to find the perfect group to win. I love working towards targets. It's fun working towards my goal of FoW armor, but I need incentive to use it. Sure it's great for PvP, but I would like a mission that required me to get great stuff in order to win.

Oh well, maybe on the expansion? Who knows.

The Fire Djinn was easy (well, it was easy to me, I ran it to those dudes that have the big boulders on their hand, they knock the djinn down, the monks heal those dudes, and the warriors attack the djinn like crazy)

synk the houndred tounged is a bitch to beat. lvl 30 boss surrounded by lvl 28 wurms as in the giant worms.

I thought the Fire Djinns were easy too, it was just me, my friend, and henchies when we took them on. A hard boss would be cool, but I have a feeling there would be a LOT of whining (just think about all the whining for Drok's mission or killing Glint but a million times worse). But yeah, all the missions/bonuses are really easy if you have a decent group, maybe an extra side mission that actually took a lot of skill.

Burninating the countryside, burninating the peasants... -hums-

That'd be really neat. Level 40, or something, with three classes instead of the one or two most mobs have. Heck, that would be awesome.

Pondering on this and what was said. An Uber Boss that has all professions and an Uber skill that can only be capped from it. It should be Gwen, as if I recall properly she always states in pre how "I want to grow up to be just like you"

lol am i the only one whos read the lore section of the manual? it says that until the blood stones are reunited there cant be one person who holds the four classes of magic.... preservation destruction aggression and denial.... in other words there cant be someone who holds these four classes at the same time.... Mesmer necromancer elementalist and monk.... the gods have made it impossible..... seeing as mesmers use the magic of denial.... necs use destruction eles use aggression and monks obviously use preservation.... just saying that would go against the lore..... but hey i hope all the bloodstones are reunited..... it would make it much easier to decide on a class

oooh! the bloodstone could be reunited, and you could go on a quest to break it again, in the process fighting bosses who could use all magicks.

I think maybe you just gave the devs a new story line for the expansion...

What about Rodgort? Burninating all the outposts randomly, and then all people in that outpost have to cooperate to even have a CHANCE of killing him!

How about physical manifestations of balthasar, grenth, etc? Bosses so tough, that with a fully tuned tombs build, you still could only maybe take away 25% of the health. Something terribly hard, not meant to be able to finish, and definately not by using some sort of trick. Just like glint, who can be easily defeated with a few small changes to your tactics.

They should have a doppleganger party at the end of a mission, so you fight an equal party that has all your normal everyday skills equipped...

Hopefully that's not in order. A decent Interruption Ranger can utterly rape
Glint.

But yeah, level 100 Undead Jesus FTW.

Sound Scarily like Diablo2? Im hearing talk of ppl wanting unique items from a Super hard boss.
Anyone remember Uber Diablo? and the unique drop annillus charm. Caused more problems than enjoyment imo.

I think a super hard boss that require one and two guild to kill will be good. At least it gives a good challenge to those who are at level 20 and ascended

Everyone loves the Glint! I must admit, that was one of the best things I ever came across in this game. Very fun to challenge her, even after getting wiped out possibly one or 2 times It kept the casual players happy too because it was just the bonus. Shiro wasn't bad, but he just made peoples bars go to 0 without a fair fight

Yeh what you could do is have a monster that has constant guardian and healing breeze and obsidian flesh and spell breaker and shadow form and mist form and feigned neutrality going all the time and you can never remove enchantements and he has like a billion life and infinite mana and he kills you by looking at you or if you get within a thousand feet of him or if you attack him..... <.<

All the more reason to get a bajillion people and kick the crap out of it.
