Well it had another hotfix update so the server isn't matching. Which is just as well, since someone who will not be named decided to thrust us rear end-first into Hard Mode against the wishes of literally everyone else on the server :mad:

It's just bigger numbers delivered faster. People just threw themselves at him until he died, with one of them being invincible. It was like watching a Lemmings death march.

From the standpoint of someone who just sat and watched, I'm not sure how that could qualify as fun for most people unless they like seeing the HP whittled down bit by bit.

Don't forget we had a martian invasion at about the halfway point, at which case our litany of deaths became half from him, half from having tesla bolts rammed up our asses.

FUN! :shepface:

Yoyos might be somewhat overpowered.

You shut your mouth, Yoyos are the greatest thing ever and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

In other news: I built a thing in Poxins' server!

Don't sweat it until you get a super crazy drill later on that makes it trivial.

So I finally got Red's throw and I'm kind of disappointed they nerfed it.

They nerfed all the Dev items. Red is apparently a yoyo enthusiast irl, some yoyo company is going to make several of the in game yoyo's. Including the Eye of Cthulu and Terrarian, if the wiki is to be believed.

Do minions attack the Martian probe? I could see that being a problem.

EDIT: By the way, since the invasion isn't time based like the Pumpkin/Frost Moons can you just not kill anything and farm saucers?

They do, I remember my Stardust Dragon shooting ahead and assaulting more than one probe. And isn't there some bug that stops the saucers spawning after a point?

As much as I like 1.3 I'm not really feeling most of these patch notes aside from the medusa one. It feels lot like those times in say, FFXI, when they had a super hard boss no one could kill they'd get mad and buff it any time someone did manage to kill it because they were "exploiting" the game to do so. Maybe the problem is that people have to exploit the game to kill your boss, because it's not fun to fight.
The boss you're thinking of is Absolute Virtue. They kept nerfing or outright removing/making him immune to whatever players were using to kill him. Absolute Virtue Syndrome is a thing in the game industry.
"The beatings will continue until you ingrates play my game ~THE RIGHT WAY~."

E: not only would they keep removing ways to beat him, but they actively refused to tell players what ~THE RIGHT WAY~ was supposed to be. gently caress you for not being psychic, I guess

Thank you, I keep thinking it's Pandemonium Warden for some reason but those two bosses are literally all I know about FFXI. Warden was the one people fought for so long they passed out, then? Or am I wrong again?

Pandemonium Warden was indeed the one people fought for so long they had to call it off when they had to sleep and/or go to the goddamn bathroom. Bonus: When the dev team did release how they'd killed Absolute Virtue themselves, their released info required violating their own loving games' TOS :shepface:

Didn't they before that also release a video giving some "hints", and by hints i mean "it was cut together so confusingly the only thing you could tell was that they used some certain abilities but not what for"?

Do you have a link to what their intended solution was, by the way?
Not off-handedly, but all this was a while back. It's been revealed/figured out how to kill him "The Right Way" and parties take him down regularly on every server now. A quick youtube search should be able to find the 'proper' way to do it- Using abilities on certain character classes in a certain order disables his abilities, as I recall.

You know as well as the rest of us that any armor bonus too good will get beaten by the nerf stick until it stops whimpering.
