What are your thoughts on Allanon?

This, him zipping around everywhere so you lose track of him easily (even with the enemy outlined after attacking (if you even hit him)), regen and him just randomly respawning in the middle of fighting is making him to be THE worst boss in AO for me. I really hope we never have another flying boss because this is just miserable

vid version since I just randomly decided to record it now

I wanna point to the testers but from what I’ve heard, I think Vetex seriously needs to prioritize clarity over visual noise

allanon is a fucking fraud, for a lost magic user he got jumped by 3 guys who only left clicked with a dagger

afterwards he doesn’t even try and crashout towards the assassin syndicate or other people

If you have magic he’s a pretty easy boss as long as you don’t get hit by the untelegraphed 2000 damage grab rush

remember that if you hit him, he’d be highlighted through all that.
you could also use sensing to get a quick look at his location.

the problem is, the highlight disappears if you cant hit him consistently within like 4 seconds
and sometimes the highlight color blends in with the color of the AOE

cool fight

i feel like because sensing is so new of a feature people forget its a thing

Actual sensing is worthless in fights. Flaunting locks you in place, and it takes so long to start sensing Allanon can kill you three times over. Not to mention, if you wanna see stuff, you gotta turn your sensing off afterwards as well.

Unless you mean the highlight which shows on hit, no clue what you’re on.

As for highlight, it’s not some high technology to use it. As long as you hit the enemy, they’ll be outlined, there’s nothing to get used to.

You can quickly swap in and out of sensing, you don’t need to hold and flaunt to switch it. Problem is if you do things too fast so you can see better again, there’s a pretty common chance the screen blackening doesn’t disappear, so you have to do it AGAIN to remove it.

As a character? Yeah pretty great

As a boss? Yeah no straight up the worst designed boss
There is a lot of reasons everyone has already either heard or probably saw so I am not gonna go into the details of how bullshit his bossfight is

Allanon is a bottom and Callahan is a top.


Allat when the hitbox is probably right here

They both switch but prefer bottom

as it turns out, introducing a character and having him spiral into chaos in ONE HOUR is not very feasible for this kind of game

i felt nothing. felt like i’m being battered over the head with a mallet labelled “PLEASE FEEL ENGAGED WITH THE STORY” when allanon said that cheesy ass “i love you… so much…” hardly even remembered liara’s name. also i know damn well veronica’s up to something, she nodded no before allanon even came in. fuck you skyhallians. you’re lucky you don’t have any boats down at sea or you’d end up just like those ravennean bastards

somehow didn’t notice how much he looks like sephiroth though. that’s pretty cool

Count Bleck mention :fire::fire::fire:

But yeah he lowkey reminded me of Count Bleck in a way

Do you want a side with your order of 4 buff werewolf warlords of ambiguous sexuality, or is that everything for this necropost?
