Re: Project Phoenix!
Couldn't help but laugh at the new armos boss lol
I wouldn't say its impossible to beat, but with no sword and boomerang its definately challenging!

Re: Project Phoenix!
Alright lazy ass me has (first taken a break and) finally come up with a compromise for kholdstare.
Hard mode only - Slowed the ice drops by half to reduce the lag, but everything in the room goes double speed (the ice doesn't drop twice as fast, but the things it splits off covers double the distance as a result). I think the main body also moves twice as fast.
Doesn't make him hard-hard on hard mode but at least it's less laggy compare to hard mode in conker's.
I was thinking about changing it so he's immune to the fiery blaze/bombos but gave up finding the code for it. If you can make him immune from the damage editor it'll be great, otherwise I'll try digging it up at a later date.

Re: Project Phoenix!
I had some time to test out your kholdstare fix and it is quite effective as is actually, there's no longer lag and its more difficult to dodge and predict where the ice will fall compared to the original that had a much regular pattern.
I'll remove the fire medallion vulnerability tommorow after work and maybe work on a task or two, worked on something else tonight lol

Re: Project Phoenix!
Alright Euclid, after changing a couple of bosses weaknesses already, I've now changed Kholdstare's shell so its immune against all items except the icerod. That should fool some players haha. To accomodate the change, I'll add iceblocks in front of the entrance of the dungeon and change the boss into a fireball!

Re: Project Phoenix!
Now i just need to be less lazy and get to work.
On the other hand is the 4th dungeon/spencer all done? I don't think I have the latest rom to check the layout/make maps from.

Re: Project Phoenix!
Hello Euclid, everyone who tested the agahnim superboss complained about the difficulty being too dumb, so they will need to be nerfed. On Patty's chat however several people have given suggestions to make it beatable. Here they are:
I also got a seizure warning from one guy about his brother that has seizures to if you could somehow disable the flashing white screen of the lightning on the screen, it would maybe prevent us from making seizures for people with serious health conditions
Thanks will post a full suggestions and bugs list once I'm done watching all playthroughs!
Patty just finished agahnim superboss on livestream with savestates and it took 16 hits or so...and the game crashed when getting warp on overworlds, so there might be something broken.
- Spoiler:
- seph: so what should we do to nerf him down in a way that would be accepted by mosts here?
chronoquairium: Here's my ideas:
1. The shot speed and charge time are too inconsistent, I think that's a bug.
2. Blue Ball rate should change in some way, or you can do vanilla Aga1 logic and make some forced.
3. Magic is only drained on contact with a clone or taking damage from a ring.
4. Make there be a tell, no matter how small, to know who to aim at.
3 isn't as needed as the others.
Darkblood935: increase the ring spawn rate
tylotungsten: well we aren't 100% clear how the mana drain is working here, but it seems inconsistent and impossible to avoid with skill
if you raise ring rate, the magic drain needs to change
Smithy4224: A tell for the real Dorf seems like the most necessary change.
Falkon: I think just raising the ring rate is all that’s needed, personally
IM_Mustela: Maybe a tiny visual indicator of which one it is? something hard to see
interpol_freeze: I think the inconsistent shot speed comes from the lightning lagging the game.
tylotungsten: since invincibility solves lightning anyway, low ring rate just makes the fight longer with nothing happening
zthoop64: even if it didnt drain magic the speed of the shots and the ratio between balls, circles and lightning is ridiculous
seph: thanks all for your suggestions, they will be implemented in time for the open beta, in a few weeks time if y'all lucky
chronoquairium: Alright, thanks for listening! Again, I'm not trying to be unthankful. Also I think the lightning is fine on this difficulty personally.
I also got a seizure warning from one guy about his brother that has seizures to if you could somehow disable the flashing white screen of the lightning on the screen, it would maybe prevent us from making seizures for people with serious health conditions
