Halfway Boss

[[Luky]Ace]

I was thinking maybe the game could throw in a boss when you're halfway through that wave/whole game.
ex.:
Wave 1//10 - 100 kills
When you get to 50 kills, spawn a boss (i'll tell you my boss idea in a sec) that takes as much time to kill as a Patriarch, or a little less time. Deals less dmg, etc.

Or the other way:
ex.:
Wave 5/10 - 200 kills
show a warning message saying:
-Warning! Halfway boss approaching!-
then that's that.

My boss idea was:
A specimen who masters in swords (not like the Gorefast), such as longswords and stuff that reach at a distance (let's say 3m or so.. mak him dangerous). And the scientist tried to merge two humans into 1!!, BUT something went horribly wrong, oh no! and the specimen has a muscular core, and what not, such as upper/lower body, but now has 4 arms! so what does he wield? 4 swords.

In short:
Specimen with 4 arms, 2 legs, 1 head, muscular, pulsing chest (2 hearts), and wields 4 swords that reach at least 3m in length, and deal about 8 dmg per hit on HP and 5 dmg per hit on armor

Good idea

Good idea

I like the idea of a halfway boss. But the boss idea you had could be better. I think it should be something very unique

IDEA: i like the 2 in 1 thing. I think it shoud be big like a gorefast but with 2 heads and a big @$$ club. He could be fast(not to fast) hard to kill and a fun battle.

For the long games, I would say yes, a halfway boss is a good idea imo.

Off topic:
WOOHOO I has a good idea finally no one listens to me very much on Cheat Engine :/

On-Topic:
@clotking:
did you mean a Fleshpound? lol gorefasts are skinny and fast, with low hp
Fleshes are slow if you don't hit em, then EXTREMELY UBER HELLA FAST when you hit em, super beastly, and like a 3 hit kill (even if you have armour!)
And yea, i'd say a little bit slower than a gorefast without being hit.
The gorefasts though, are actually slow.. they get triggered with something.. i don't know what to call it.. it's their aggresiveness meter thingy.. when they get to close they go ballistic, maybe that would do good on the halfway. Gorefast aggro speed (normal) then when he sees you, Fleshpound beastly speed.
The club's a good idea, too.. hmm, maybe a sledge hammer
and the 2 heads acting as the damage areas.. cover him in armor except for a few places: heads, LOWER leg (lol), and lower arm, maybe stomach? that might make him harder than the patriarch
I like to expand off ppl's ideas maybe too much xD


@Lucky_Fr4gg3r:
Short and Long games.. Medium games would be kind of hard to determine the middle of the whole game, seeing as they only have 7 waves.. but then that'd completely wipe medium games off the list... hmm.. we can only wait and see what they do

A halfway boss sounds like a fantastic idea to me

 

[[Luky]Ace]

yea, cuz it seems to easy to get to the patriarch..
anyone agree?
they should've made the boss round for patriarch have patriarch, and every like 10 seconds, he summons his "children"

I would like a halfway boss as well, maybe one with a pair of pincers for hands, and a big shark mouth or even a leech mouth so that eating players would restore its strength.

I like the general notion of a half-way boss and I also like War Peanut's vision.

Make it a giant enemy crab. You have to change a lot of weapons in real-time, so you can knock it on it's back with powerful weapons (Shotguns, LAWs, Crossbows), then attack it's weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE with more rapid fire weapons (Bullpup, Handcannon, ect).

Gets my vote, halfway boss would be brilliant. No idea of what it should be..

How about it carries a Lee-enfield and when you kill it you can have the rifle :O I am a genius. Oh, but if i was playing, the rifle would fly towards me and never leave. Yeah thats a good idea!

But yeah halfway boss is a nice idea, go on Devs you know you want to

 

[Makino]

Nice idea, he ought to be a real test to the teamwork btw... if they get past him they are somewhat ready for the pat.

Should be higher xD, Bloats and Scrakes do more damage.

 

[Nanostrike]

No one liking the giant crab? How about an enemy that throws bloats at you!

I saw a modded server where instead of the crossbow, they had the 'bloat shooter', that shot exploding bloats...wow...just...wow...

 

[Akamaz]

The giant crab isn't nessecarily a bad idea, but the physics of it seems like it would be a pain to do.. having to knock it over onto it's back, then flipping back over alone would be a problem i think.


I'm liking the idea of the massively muscled one with a hammer hand though.

 

[[Luky]Ace]

Should be higher xD, Bloats and Scrakes do more damage.

it's a fast attack speed and movement speed would make up for the damage it deals..
whos to say it doesn't deal more on normal, hard, or suicidal?
