[LCN] Raid Boss [BETA] Walkthrough and Feedback

So I have to go traipsing about in London to get keys?

Is there any achievement with this boss?

Edit: I see now:

Kill the Hacker Ring

10 Skill Points

So I should "Heist some Crown Jewels" to get keys?

 

The invite ability is broken just like it was on Viking. I'm getting the message: "Another action is currently in progress on this boss. Please try again."

 

That doesn't sound like a broken invite link, that usually says "sorry this link is not valid". You're getting the correct link out of the invite box, right? The link below the Boss picture will not work.

 

Am getting exactly the same but it's not the link, it's the boss, I can heal the group & luckily get this below, but I am not on the list of participants, just the person who started it!
You don't have enough Energy to heal the Raid! Wait for your Energy to refill or ask The Godfather for a quick refill below.

 

Check the Healing tab or Total actions tab, you should show up there.

 

Oops, this boss requires an invite to join. I send the invite - that's what peeps get when they try to join - do they need keys as well?

 

From what I can tell, the overall feeling is that 25 energy for healing is far too costly, even with the drops.

 

I've got 2 invite links from another mobster, they all do the same thing. Either "Oops, this boss requires an invite to join." or "Another action is currently in progress on this boss. Please try again.". Talking about the link with the invite code inside.

 

You need to send them a link for the level they have. 0-1349 need one link, 1350-2659 need another, 2660+ need another.

 

They don't, they should be able to join in regardless. Make sure that they have the right invite code for their level and that they are clicking it directly; we've found that copy/pasting the link into a new window sometimes will not work as the URL gets cut off.

 

Can you send me a private message with the link please? I'll get someone to look into it.

 

Someone invited me to theirs - same issue - I noticed the ingame pm has ";language=en" tagged on the end but it's not part of the link....

 

There's also an issue currently with in-game messaging that is preventing people from joining bosses. If you're sent a link to someone via private message, have them copy/paste the link as it isn't hyperlinking properly right now. We're working on a fix.

 

ok Kano..... i feel like you guys just reached into my pocket, and took out a $100 bill. this is AWFUL. it takes a ton of stam and energy, and we've been busting our rumps in the boss i was able to activate. i will NOT be doing these, and advise everyone else to NOT do them.... it's a complete suck of REAL cash.

 

Yeah, that's the in-game message issue I mentioned. Copy/paste the entire link into your search bar and it should work.

 

@mi7ch These boss timers are way too short, 3 days to kill a boss that powerful will really detract from the other areas in the game or due to their high energy/stam consumption, no-one will want to do these as a long term option. However, with a bit of tweaking they may become a more acceptable option. First off, a larger raid party max. health would be nice. It would take some of the necessity for nigh on constant healing and would allow for bulk heals aka when someone levels up or their daily boosts come in. Second of all, the timer really will put a lot of time pressure on players and it may put them off the raid bosses if it interferes with other activity like syndicate wars or battle arena.
So here's an idea off me, how about a time increase to kill the boss after passing each checkpoint? That way the players remain active on each boss and there isn't too short a time period for completion. This should alleviate some of the time pressure and make them a little less difficult to kill. Furthermore, a bar indicating the checkpoints on the bosses health would be great. This way it would be clear to players how far through a current checkpoint of the boss' health they are and how far the next one is.

 

Yep it takes alot of stamina and energy , will need douzins of refils to kill a raid boss

 

tried it. spent a shed load of money. got f**k all so far......... what a waste!

 

Okay, so I now see that this thing is useless. I will trade in the three keys that I recieved for 80,000 energy that I used to not get a fourth one once it's over.

How do you disable to notification on the main page, and wipe this boss' existence from your LCN? It's at the top of my boss page, ahead of bosses that are actually useful.

 

I hate to use this argument, but it is a Beta. Value can be tweaked.
