nerf sneakBoss ai #236

Closed 3xionDev closed 1 month ago

3xionDev commented 2 months ago

sneakBoss (the big black respawning pentagon thing) is very unfair in my opinion. The ai is very, very aggressive, and it's almost impossible to know if there's one in the level before it attacks you. its movement speed is much faster than the player, and it does a lot of damage. there are multiple instances in which my run has been destroyed by a singular sneakBoss that seemingly came out of absolutely nowhere and attacked me at a speed that made it nigh impossible to dodge. it would be more fair if the speed was nerfed, the ai made less aggressive, and maybe a damage reduction.

I never had problems with sneakboss as it just gets stuck on a corner and just blare which's there for most of the level

Sometimes sneakBoss dies just once and is never seen again with me unless I actively search for it But never have I had your issue

sneakBoss works the same as normal sneak mobs. After they die they teleport to a position in the player's last 10 seconds of history and wait until they see you again to attack.

I don't see a need to nerf sneakBoss right now, It might a quirk of your play style. I find high dps is the best defense for sneakBoss

sneakboss usually just appears directly on top of me and instakills, but its kinda a skill issue because it only happens when you aren't moving, should be fine to just keep it as is
