Hey there, I'd rly like to start a conversation about the location maps.
So what are your first impressions?

Deadly Safari

+ the bosses are rly nice animated and look rly sweet
+ fights need a lot of tactics to get them down
+ four completely different bosses on the map
+ every boss has its own difficulty (from fairly easy to kinda hard)

- the map is way to big
- nothing happens on the map besides the boss fights
- speaking of which are hard to find in the first place
- the roaming areas of the bosses are way to big, you spend most of the time searching for the bosses...

So far...
I'll keep this updated.
feel free to post your own opinions!

cheers

Agree with all the above.

Make the map smaller and Safari will be a whole lot more fun. Also give the maps paths. A path will lead us to the fights, Like doing a dungeon in an MMO.

Is it just me or is the scorpion insanely hard. I've tried a couple times and i just don't get it. The only thing i can think of is that you just need to hang on long enuff for him to do his thing and kill all his adds. Cuz we have wailed on him and can only get him to 99%...
Anyone have a strat on this?? i like the idea behind this, and i hope i'm not hijacking your thread arjuna.

Agreed with the OP, mainly on the size of the map: only 5 interesting fights (the rest is too easy for 3 players).

Also:
- perhaps tune down a bit the Scorpion fight. Just a bit, not too much, because this fight needs some strategy (always good), don't kill the fun of it by decreasing it"s difficulty too much.
- tune up (a tad) the guy fight who drops the key to Bill (he's easier than the Scorp).

Bill is (very) tough, but that's normal, he's the last Boss of the map.

I think so, too. Besides, the creeping buys your reinforcement skill time, to cool down before the next boss. Safari may be the map to blame for the longest loading times, but also for a fun, easy-going boss hunting. :)
