The Chronicles of Masteria Update

No, it's actually just annoying when it's fought with a platypus party. I've done it plenty of times. It's like, Hay guise, let's chase this monster around the map. LOL! It's still not interesting. It's just...boring. Its damage is pathetic, the map allows you to practically hide in the thorns all battle if you need and all he does is prolong the battle by telespamming or hiding in Super Def and flying away. Sweet muffins, GENIUS. You guys shouldn't boost Nexon America's ego with their crap boss. Bigfoot is the only decent one they've made, besides the fact it's way too easy to pin.

Yeah, there is. This game could easily make much better boss battles that actually require teamwork and/or focus. Like having to devote an attacker or entire party to activating different switches (or whatever) to allow the other members to be able to damage parts of the boss. Or like have a fast or hard-to-find monster appear that protects the main boss until it's killed. I dunno, add things into bosses that are creative, require planning and don't make the battle boring/annoying/draggy. Something that lets you still do something, instead of just having to sit there waiting for Super Def/pointless telespamming.

Horntail and probably Pink Been (can't say, since I haven't fought it) are the closest this game has ever got to interesting and challenging bosses. Maybe some of the new JMS ones, too, I haven't seen 'em all yet. Stop praising garbage like Geist just because it's different.

Edit: HECK YES @ Cyanne's underwater idea. See now that's the kind of crap we need.

And what are you praising? The same old thing! Bigfoot is Anego is Black Crow is HH... They're just varying damage. A mobile boss with high touch that you have to stick in the corner until it dies. Very creative. At least Geist stands a chance to break free since it flies. All these monsters are doomed as soon as everyone gets on one side of them. Clearly, if so many people are saying they like it, there must be *something* to this idea. The only thing that makes Horntail/Pink bean seem interesting is that they have different parts doing different things. Admittedly Geist can be annoying, but often times when fighting the aforementioned mobile monsters I find myself zoning out because of how insanely boring it is. At least if you have to move around platforms you aren't going to completely zone out.

A lot of the things that are being brought up have happened in some ways, but people are suggesting they be combined in new ways. Dropping the chandelier on Ergoth, high HP summons that act as walls to slow the fight, Reactors a la Monster Carnival, etc. I would agree that a boss with aqua gravity would be interesting (You can see Bergamot has a mixed gravity system like Nautilus Harbor does), but I don't agree that there should be no platforms. Archers can't jump while they're attacking, so if there aren't any platforms we'll just sink. Having to swim back to the top every few seconds would be rather annoying. Instead, I'd suggest something like very small platforms to stand on, which the boss can easily knock you off of with a weak fullscreen attack. that way, there would be something we can shoot off of, but you couldn't have everyone piling onto those.
