  anyways, anyone noticed that episodes are getting shorter and shorter?, ep9 was way too short, it should just be called episode 8.5...

  
  
  It's not so much "shorter" as it is they're doing less copy & pasting and more original work.
  
  If you look at boat 5 for instance and pull out all the actual unique bosses, the only ones you have are like, the fisherman and yellow card guy. The rest are either clones of previous bosses or clones of bosses within the same boat. Even two of the raid bosses in there are just beefed up versions of previous monsters (could probably argue that Irukul is just a giant Polar Bear if you really wanted to). Boat 6 is like this as well, and to make matters worse, both of these boats use maps from previous boats.
  
  Although, in terms of original content, the game definitely peaked at episode 7 (which was far and above previous boats) and has been dwindling ever since.

  Colru is damn near impossible.
  
  Why does this game expect so much from us?

  I actually like that about him. He's an extremely cheap boss, but it's also a hilarious fight to me. It gives an adrenaline rush kinda, especially when you're halfway from any walls and he begins his Big Bang attack. In my very first Colru, I was so happy that I recorded. Reason being is because towards the end, he started the Big Bang attack and we hid behind a wall. Literally .5 seconds before it hit the wall, the wall retracted, causing 5 people standing in front of me to all die at once. I just stood there laughing. . . even though I wasn't in the mood to laugh at all.

  Some times the orbs went right though the walls and kills the person behind it too....trollwalls....
  
  but personally i think Colru is easier than Lionotus. Colru attacks are slow and you can see it coming most of the time, lionotus just bounces around and does random triple attacks and tail swipes, the cliffs are painful too.

  As a Fiona, I feel the complete opposite. I haven't learnt Colru yet, but I've already figured out Lionotus enough so I only died 3 times on Macha. Lionotus actually has an easy to follow moveset, he'll either swipe once (normal, can tell by shield sound), once and spin, jump, backflip, backstep and shoot a fireball, charge, or roar. Colru just runs all over the place with no openning to attack.

  I really dont like the first part, it really brings out sword lann's weakness to being carried while slip dashing. Getting cornered and wall raped isn't very fun :|

  As a Lann, I find both Colru and Lionotus PRETTY easy. Colru duos, just get their aggro and run around in circles, Colru, use quick Sprint+smash attacks and LR for crit chances for GF. Lionotus, chuck a sticky and go up right next to Lionotus and start combo-ing.

  One time I hit the wall and it separated from the ground, levitated 10 feet high which allowed the dark orbs to hit anyone that was behind the wall.

  You can stay in his face all day as a Sword. This trend started with Glas...Lanns have no reason to be complaining right now. In fact, I was in a party with a spear who basically spin2win'd Colru and didn't die all that much.
  
  As far as Boat 5 is concerned, there are tons of unique bosses there. The Yeti's, the Madness guy, Yellow card, Fisherman, etc. The only blatant copy/paste is Greedy...
  
  So in that sense, the game is getting shorter, and a lot shorter at that. Shouldn't be able to exhaust all the new content with a guild within three hours after it is out (and we were slow).

  One of my buddies said they added nub stuff to the armor and Weapon suprise supplies.
  
  Is this true? :|

  True.
  
  Also, lots of Lann hating going on. Idiots calling me a "fail Lann" because I tried popping a DPS streak once, and we were pressured on time. I don't see these ***holes going around doing damage. ***ing Fionas trying to go up in my face saying I don't do enough, I'm carrying half the team.

  Thats one thing I'll never buy again.
