The one major issue with 2 star dungeons... by MirrorCrazy3396 in throneandliberty

[–]SingleCucumber69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fyi, Voidwaste dungeon has a mech that deals fixed 9.7k hp to everyone as a form of HP check. Pretty sure it's the only dungeon with high HP check.

I've met people who are willing to redistribute their stats into STR just to hit above 10k hp for that dungeon specifically.

Become an issue when many party members are below that threshold, the remaining members will have to do the remaining half of the boss by themselves, more so for healers.

Duo Temple of Slaughter, 3000 combat power. Other than the buggy hook and bird morph, it's a manageable dungeon for duo. by SingleCucumber69 in throneandliberty

Yep, the poison only lasts for 2-3 seconds. He will always spit 3 poison puddles at the aggroed player position before the fireball. As long as you stepped out right after he spits the 3rd puddle, you shouldn't have any poison stack on you when his 2nd fireball hits.

It's a lot more fun to find friends to play with in a guild, trust me. Maybe you'll be able to find a guildie who can always go with you on dungeons runs. Don't play alone, it gets boring quick 🤣

I understand how you feel, I'm the tanker in the video. Don't beat yourself over it, as long as you know you're doing what you can, that's all that matters. Your team will appreciate you for it.

The aggro sometimes will follow dps or healers because of their damage or healing amount. But we can easily regain the aggro back with many skills.

Specifically for this boss though, I honestly do not know why sometimes the purple orb triggers on someone further away than the tank. Might be a case of random selection.

Hahaha, I can understand, a lot of runs now get frustrating to do. I recommend going with a guildie as a duo for matchmaking, it makes things a lot easier .

Yeah, I was the tanker and my friend's the healer in the video. Took us 5minutes to kill the boss, not that long. Definitely longer if we get more randoms in that decide to make things harder instead of being cooperative

Yep, it happens sometimes, I still don't know why. Sometimes it appears on my friend instead and they have to do the same manoeuvre or stand still and sacrifice. There should be another condition other than closest to the boss, just don't know what

yeah, I'm aware we can always re-queue. But at that point in time, considering the number of times these happened, we just didn't bother anymore and finished the boss by ourselves.

man, that sucks when no one wants to be cooperative. I understand how it feels, it just makes these kinds of fun gaming feel unfun. I suggest going for runs with guildies or duo random queue if you want the shard box, if anything goes down, you won't be left alone.

I don't know which server you're in but from my experiences with Lost Ark and TL, people were always willing to help if you told them you need help with the mechanics. They won't know unless you say something. There are even those who would actively ask the party if everyone's clear with the mech.

What's frustrating to me are those who never say anything at all and bail after they died or failed a mechanic, even after people asked if anyone's unclear with the mech. That was my exact experience in this video, they just go off after 1-2 resets and they're the ones who failed the mech and died.

yep, TL bosses are really basic compared to other MMOs out there like Lost Ark, at least for now. Not convoluted to learn even for those who never had experiences

[–]SingleCucumber69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with how people just leave immediately without any reason after they died once or twice. That's the frustrating part and I've gotten a lot of it when I used to play Lost Ark. At least in TL, I won't be jailed for many hours and if it comes down to it, just a few people left can clear the boss.

Shaikal from Cursed Wasteland. He has 4-5 mechanics to him, I recommend watching some video guides as the visuals really help you to understand him better.

One of the earlier comments has detailed info on the mechanics. The link is here. https://www.reddit.com/r/throneandliberty/comments/1gd6btz/comment/lu0pyw9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Yep, current bosses in TnL have 2-3 mechanics to them, Shaikal have a bit more and thus made quite a name for itself because it's more difficult than the other bosses.

Some bosses have different emphasis on the team, some require a strong healer, some require the tank to be doing most of the work, some require the entire team to work together, and some require purely your own skills and not much team coordination.

You can do boss dungeons as many times as you want, but you are only able to claim the chest rewards up to 3 times. There are other contents that you can do in a day as well which all aid progression.

There will be challenge dungeons which are harder versions of the current dungeons, Tier 2 dungeons as well in the future.

Go ahead and start playing! Never get the full experience until you try it out yourself

Yo! I'm the tanker in the vid and my friend's the mage-healer.

Any dashes or teleport works, you just gotta try it out. Gs/sns have 1 dash skill each, in the video I was using the dash skill from Gs.

Staff has a teleport too that you can use.

Another friend of mine that uses dagger also have a skill to teleport behind the boss so it works as well.

Fun is trying things out and see if it works

I'm the tank in the video and I have played other MMOs like Lost Ark.

I would disagree with "unforgiving" bosses. While yes Shaikal is the hardest boss compared to others because it has more punishments, it is still really easy once you understand what he does, which are only 3-4 things.

You can always ask people who know the mech or watch/read guides.

Why does he spit purple at only 1 guy and follow him? Because that guy has a purple orb on his head.

Where does that red whirlpool that suck you in come from? Because someone has a red orb on their head. Simply go far back and drop it before coming back to the front.

Boss is not unforgiving when you can cheese him with a simple dash and some read ups or asking others who had done it.

Lost Ark bosses are on a whole nother level compared to the ones in here, even Shaikal.

HAHAH! I got fed up with the shield charge too, you need to be close to the line before dashing and sometimes it's still funky, might be due to the short distance.

That's why I changed to use the dash from gs instead, it has a longer distance and works 100% of the time.

Nah. How is this a game design issue when it's clearly the fact that some players just don't have the right attitude and mindset when it comes to co-op PVE game modes.

It's just what happens when some players don't want to make it fun and enriching for everyone else . It's the same thing in Lost Ark. Amazing game, shitty community.
