The Q&A consists of 42 choice questions submitted by the active Hellgate Guru
forum community, with answers for each and every one!
12. Do you plan to have more bosses than Diablo 2? Will the bosses be a
bit more unpredictable than the ones in D2? How about difficulty with bosses?
Will it be more of an issue of being undergeared, or more of an issue of trying
to learn of how to combat the boss? Or both? Will strategy be involved is
basically what Im asking. How much?
Right now it looks like we'll have substantially more recurring boss-like
characters and a few more named bosses. I don't know what you mean by
predictable, though. Our bosses are bosses in that they're bigger, meaner,
tougher hell bastards than what you've been fighting, but they're still just
hell bastards of a different sort. So I suppose they are a bit predictable in
that sense, but then they're kind of supposed to be. In terms of strategy,
you'll need to learn how to combat bosses since they all have specific strengths
and weaknesses and are prone to certain actions. You don't just need to be
tougher. It's more that you need to be prepared. Of course, being tougher would
certainly help. As an example, Lee beat Shulgoth on the first run as one of our
classes because he knew how to handle him with skills and certain weapons. I, on
the other hand, died about 20 times because I just tried to hit him with my very
strong sword.
