| Zakum doesn't take three hours to kill. I have went on many Zakum runs. A group of thirty fourth job players have taken Zakum down in less than five minutes and there's a video right on youtube to prove it.
Typical runs range from thirty minutes to one hour but one hour runs are an epic failure now days. This is without the fourth job advancement. After fourth job is out I suspect typical Zakum runs will take anywhere from ten to twenty minutes tops.
I actually kind of think trickster bosses are the perfect boss. They don't take all day to kill and they aren't too hard. Not everybody wants to have to worship the higher level players to get into boss runs, that's part of why maplestory is so full of drama.
The bosses in this game are not as easy as everybody likes to make them out. If you are Level 300, with all the new myshop gear compounded and refined to Level 11 then DUH, the bosses are going to be a piece of cake, but not everyone can go out and buy myshop to be overpowered.
If they buff up the bosses a lot of other players who don't buy myshop or don't buy a lot of myshop are going to have a hard time fighting them. If they do buff up the bosses, they need to redo the entire way the boss spawning works because the higher level groups will hog the boss maps to themselves even worse than they do now. It's already bad enough that any old joe can walk into the map while you are fighting the boss and KS it off you if they miraculously deal the final hit even if its 100 dmg. |
