My Recent Boss Experiences.
Main Character: Moonboy, 31st level Force Field/Radiation Technology Defender. Infinity server. Six slotted X-Ray and Neutron Blast filled (save for one slot I think) with five SO damage enhancements and one SO Accuracy enhancement. The main big bubble power also has six mostly SO defense enhancements.
1. Yep, noticed the new boss toughness right away. So far I've done three missions with bosses and been told there was a boss on one of them. I managed to solo the two orange bosses - but it was a tought fight - , then went to get help to deal with the red boss.
2. I can understand the idea behind encouraging teaming, but... I don't like it. In fact, I really dislike it. Been playing for eight months now, still have never found a supergroup to join. I've grouped in the past, a little, but never ever seen the same people again or been contacted by them. I have a couple people in my friend list, but I never see them on. So, teaming is reallly a big minus for me. Enforced teaming... well, not good at all. Even de facto forced teaming.
I've given it some thought, though, and might take some of the Leadership pool powers that enable others to do more damage or defend better. But I'd really prefer not to.
3. Really, really need to make sure that the boss warning is in the mission statement. As in a big red 'Warning: Lark's Vomit, er, Boss' Usually seeing a person's name is an indication, but not always. Also, there have been a couple where I've accepted and then the contact says 'Oh, by the way, look out for Hero Skull Buster, he's bad news' or something similar.
I still have two missions to do that require teaming, since they require that a number of bombs or whatever be fooled with at once.
