AQ3D Frostlorn Boss Raid

I see it as a three boss battle.
Pull one, kill, repeat

 

I wonder if there will be exclusive item drops?

 

Might be the winter aura drop? Not sure what other drops we might get ...
Should be fun ... as long as the drop rates aren't too low

 

yea the winter aura is still missing.... also I hope there wont be bugs to exploit on release day this time around...

 

So it's sort of like the Enraged Valek dungeon. I just hope this raid's not super grindy; I'm not a fan of holiday releases that are very grindy because holidays only come once a year. I already felt like the Frostval release we had was enough, and I haven't even farmed for the Frostlorn weapon drops or the new craft items from Blizzy yet.

 

Werent frostval dungeons reworked so that they were easier to do? I think cysero mentioned something like that

 

Im pretty excited I hope they also add the weapon drops in the dungeon ^w^

 

Nope. The dungeon's essentially the same, though they did change the quests and monster drops a bit to make the quests easier. It's pretty much the same grind after completing the quests though, and the map's still not mobile-friendly. I do hope the boss raid is quick though, but challenging.

 

well, i wont be doing the quests for frostvale though so it wouldnt matter at least to me...

 

The challenge for me honestly is kinda meh its just a small room with unlimited respawn of bosses. I like how they added some dialects for the raiders tho

 

Even though there were dialogues, the challenge didn't feel so interactive, and the dialogues had a few silly typos. Now if a cutscene (around Ashfall-quality) played upon defeating the Frostlorn raiders, it would have felt more interactive, because there would be a lot of cinematic action going on.

 

But overall I still love the update more cooler gears wooo

 

Dage is working on Winter Aura(Hoping will be added n game), prolly because of the animation due to steam limitations/ a.k.a cross platform. Let me be honest here the RAID was boring no boss mechanics at all and the players just standing there doing nothing waiting for the loots, It seems the other thread about "BIG RAID ISSUES/AFK" is actually happening.

 

I dont like it. there was stay 3 boss. it is too easy. i crafted all item in my half day.

 

The raid didn't feel like a raid at all. It just felt like any ordinary boss fight, except players had to defeat the bosses multiple times just for drops. That's about it, you defeat monsters all for drops; no quests or various map parts to accompany the raid, and the monsters weren't even a challenge. I felt like more time could have been devoted to fixing the Frostval dungeon instead of creating the raid map.

I don't like that there's no support monster. There should have been some Frostlorn Healer who would have acted as a support for the three raiders, so then the battle would have more challenging.

 

Snowcrasher didn't really feel like a support monster since it never did last long. Even players have tried to cheesed the map by only attracting certain raiders, but not the Snowcrashers, so everything felt much easier in that sense alone. Even with players jumping in and attacking all of the monsters, the challenge's pretty easy. It takes about 15 minutes to get a full stack of drops from the raiders; whereas, it may take 20 minutes or longer to get just a Yettun Fur or even a Yettun Horn from the Epic Yettun Cave dungeon which is a lot more challenging.
