Is Bungie incapable of creating a boss WITHOUT the stupid stomp?
I mean for real though, off the top of my head, what, is it almost EVERY boss has the same stupid stomp ability? Why did they feel the need to add a repulsive insanely high damage dark souls wrath of the gods move to almost every boss enemy? Do they just not want us touching their precious museum relic enemy designs?
*ATTENTION, PLEASE REMAIN AT LEAST 15M AWAY FROM ALL BIG SPACE MONSTERS*
It just feels like another annoying and generic instance of Bungie indirectly telling us exactly how to play their game, regardless of the context of the boss fight.
"What's that, you're trying to USE the SWORDS and MELEE SUPERS we gave you? What are you STUPID? Get your a** back 20m and use a godd**m gun like a NORMAL FPS!"
Because of this, no matter how they design the boss itself or the theme of battle, every final fight turns into 3 guardians hiding behind a wall and firing scout or auto while standing still.
TL:DR - A stomp is fine on certain bosses, ie the big heavy cabal thicc bois. But it makes no sense that a spindly legged humanoid enemy like a vex or a large psion in the one strike can do the fox trot next to me and send my corpse to the f***ing MOON

The “mortar” Shield Brother boss didn’t have that stomp attack. It’s just unimaginative strike design and Bungie’s need to micromanage play. I also think it’s an ego issue. The strike devs don’t like us shredding their work as we get more powerful. So the boss fight designs are getting more and more obnoxious and getting more and more layers of artificial difficulty stacked on them. Which is why the Heroic Strike list modifiers have been such a flop.

1 ReplyYou crybabies and the stomp. I'm a D1 titan I have killed Atheon with a FoH clutch. I shoulder charged a spider tank to death. I have more boss kills with shotguns than anything else. The stomp isnt op you just are bad
-
I’m fine with stomp, just remove the effect that turns us into birds.
-
1. It makes sense that a giant monster with 2 feet A.K.A. every boss in D2, would stomp. 2. Suppression abilities such as Suppresion nades and tractor cannon should stop the bosses from slamming every 2 seconds but Bungie doesn’t know how to make a game.

I'm it's called timing? we killed spire of stars boss at his feet.....and pretty much every strike boss......i melting point every large boss with an up close meele....i mean come on them stomp once every few hours or so there's a pretty big damage window between stomps
-
I've been saying for so long I've lost count of the time that stomp mechanics kill all fun and make fights stupid. Oh you're using a shotgun? Let us punish you by having the boss stomp and insta kill you by launching you so fast that you die on impact against anything at any distance without being able to slow down if you're playing a warlock
-
Makes the EP shotty pretty much worthless
-
95% of my deaths are from the stomp that flings me across the solar system
-
Felt like they buffed it for Warmind too.
-
Completely agree dude. Downright lazy design.
-
Im pretty sure its so bosses don’t get melted with swords and shotguns.
-
Thus the reason why people resorted to camping in the back with icebreakers and gjallarhorns. 90% of destiny's bosses have a close range aoe attack. Pair it up with triple burn and light switch and you'd have no choice but to sit in the back.

1 ReplyEdited by Xc_LuxZenRa: 7/4/2018 7:58:39 AMDamn!🤨🤔😤😤😤🧐 Well there is a way to stay where the boss is when he stomps...forgot how to do it. But as to your overall issue. Boss's would need to have Powers/Abilities besides stomping and shooting. I would suggest the new boss's have new ablilities😜 Example: 😊Let them have the appearance of both ranged and melee weapons.😁 Once The OP goes in with his sword. Said boss will change to its second Stance Aka Melee.😎😯 And focus on him. The only difference is. They get a 🌟Buff. We dont get debuffed calm down. Lol Was gonna suggest it but not worth the extra talkin. Said boss gets Katanas, 2😑...unlike most Bosses instead of them 1 hitting you. They have to 3 hit you.🤣 Haha bungie...lol His Buff: Health Regen when in critical Condition.🙄 The boss moves at moderate speed with the katanas. If your good you can dodge those blades. Giving you more You time!😉 Your teammates can also stagger🤐the boss. *Special mechanic* call me lazy...lol (lack of time) Attacking the boss while one is engaged up close. The boss will Proc a weak sheild around teammates who are shooting. Aka UR IN A BUBBLE!😭 Take that shield down to help out UR krazy🧐Teammate! ya hear!! So yee! Thats only for this boss. And there u go! Resilence also proves to be useful here...there u go titans! Go get em!😉 🤨🤔Its definetely do able. Not a huge issue right now tho. Would rather have more crucible options, Strike choices, chat box on consoles in tower, horde mode for the love of Destiny! Omg...u dont kno bro...., Better skill tree than what we have now.😏 Oh and another boss can have Lapiz Lazul Knuckles.😨 It will go toe to toe with you. Careful though that Buffs a Killer 1,2😡🤬 Knockout! Literally! BUFF: One-Punch causes foe to fly into teammate as they burn to death in celestial Void.😩 After doing a certain ammount of damage he'll charge up his fists. If your still alive...good luck If you dont dodge that blow. Its gonna send your dead Body to one of your teammates(make sure your behind him cough😈👿) If you dont have full shield ur as good as dead.(Teammate)😵😵 So its a bit risky. Oh and It's Melee is Slow. Big fella need practice too ya know! Lol🤕 But that One Punch...that's almost 2 Quick! Careful!🤮 Edit: Want to all just 2 or 3 sword em? Dont forget the stomp bruh!... BOSS: ....FOH🤧

They could at least devise an alternative close-up attack, if it's that big a deal to keep the shotguns and melee supers away.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing a boss instead of a stomp teleport you into either a trap you need to escape or just away from them
-
3 RepliesI would like to have a boss battle like in DarkSouls, no stupid mechanics just insane dps.
-
AGREE 100%. Absolute dumbest mechanic in ANY video game EVER!!!
-
Completely incapable
-
-
It would make more sense if Bungie just put them on a platform for a majority of the fight instead of recycling the stomp on every boss.
-
Bungie isn't going to come up with anything new. Don't be ridiculous. We still have all the same enemies from D1 vanilla just reskinned. And all of those enemies were just reskinned Halo enemies. Bungie doesn't do new. They do the same old stuff at jacked up prices.
-
I was just going on about this mechanic with my clan mates, Literally every boss in the game ( d1 as well) has some bullshit one hir stomp mechanic that either kills you instantly or send you flying to the other side of the planet, take that away and every boss will be melted in 3 seconds. Its basically the cheapest way to inflate difficulty and make it so bosses can’t be one phased that easily. Regardless its annoying as shit.
-
Thank God we are finally complaining about this. I had that heroic strike vex boss stomp me across the map sending me off the map to my death. Which happens anytime I use my given striker ability to pound the ground around him. My question: why do they bother with weapons when in a single stomp they can send me to my death? Send an entire army of stompers and do what the Red Legion failed to do! LOL
-
Lol, the tl;dr.
-
i wish they had more complex melee attacks for sure. it's just weird how they do it. honestly wow is the same way though. i think dark souls does a better job with boss design than any of them honestly... that and sorta fighting or pseudo fighting games bosses are just more interesting frankly imo
-
Man! I WANT that stomp ability so baaaaddd! I wish my Titan had stomp boots. Yes please.
