RyanCentral SOLO HARD Arcanist gameplay

this has been posted before.

Also, he plays really weird (i.e. tactically wrong) at the final part. He keeps focusing on the big guy and keeps getting hit by the little guys around him, while he should obviously take out the little ones first so he can run circles around the big guy.

I still think the mobs go down way too easy and not at all reactive (maybe it's the latter that's really the problem). Moving forward some changes I'd recommend is to have more, different, and multiple simultaneous bosses integrated throughout each mission. It was only difficult at the end because he handicapped himself...it's as Pillarbiter said the mobs should have been taken out first.

K+M looked smooth...me likey.

I feel like no developer can win on this topic. If you make the enemies too squishy, then the game looks too easy. If they take more than 6 seconds to bring down with constant weapon fire, than they're too bullet spongy.

I think lennybusker put up an infographic of how enemy density and enemy health/difficulty are - typically - inversely proportional to each other.

Can we PLEASE get some Colossus gameplay?!

It's a pickle to be sure...though I'm not asking for bullet sponges...how about just having mob-types scatter and flank you (rather than spawning and standing around clustered together) mixed in with more special units.  Higher difficulties should spawn more and variable boss-types.

This is one of my bigger complaints about the game so far. All of the explosions and particle effects are really detrimental to maintaining situational awareness. I'm sure some of that will be alleviated once we start playing and get more familiar with all the different effects (so instead of seeing just "BLUE EXPLOSION -> RED FLARE -> GREEN SPLASH" we'll automatically convert that in our heads to "Ability X -> Ability Y -> Ability Z").

However, some things do just seem overdone. For example the UI effects during the interceptor ultimate: why are there random textures which provide no useful information filling up a quarter of the screen along with a weird filter that tints everything green and applies a distortion effect? Also the Storm ultimate just looks like a clusterf**k. I get that you want it to look cool and powerful, but it just overwhelms everything else within its radius.

There are still plenty of people on YouTube posting how 'dull and boring' it looks, so I can understand the pressure on the devs:

'more bangs! more pizazz!...'

The expectations of the gaming populace lacks consistency.

My stomach wouldn’t fit in any of the javelins so...

Whimp.
