Guild Wars 2

Jade Maw? Pft. My grandmother could beat him. And she’s dead!

Fractals need a real man’s boss!

Vote Giganticus Lupicus boss of fractals 2012!

Maybe we could fight 2 at a time. That would be sweet.

Hehe Lup with agony, no running from wp, sounds fun but a lot of people would stop doing fractals

I second this nomination! Might actually make fractals interesting again

is it bad that I actually agree with this?

i think giganticus needs a buff…maybe give him tenticals with lazer beams pew pew?

And since i know the creator of the aquatic fractal frequents these forums…

I’m going to suggest remaking the aquatic fractal using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nybmygtLiKE for your inspiration.

what is dis, i dont even…

Yes, lets make every Fractal a horrid armor repair grind, just like the old dungeons!
People are having way too much fun right now. I suggest we add Lupicus as a final boss to every Fractal to effectively stomp out all that cheer.

Lupicus isn’t hard

If you’re continously dying more than 1-2 times during lupi’s fight, you really need to improve. Besides, he’s one of the few fun encounters in the game.

Right.

I have to admit I love the idea even if it does not make sense just because I love this boss :

• it is fun
• it is impressive
• when you die you don’t shout : Geez this guy has too much damage and whatnot.
• actually the only boss I find challenging and very well made

I’ve only done Lupi once, it was with a pug, but I don’t think we had any deaths at all. Everyone knew what to do and it was pretty easy to execute. Lupi with Agony however might be a different story. I think Alpha is tougher overall though, especially without graveyard rushing. Add Agony to Alpha and you would have a hard kitten fight.

I wouldn’t mind lupicus, but if we add him into fractals it’s going to get horrid at 20+.

I mean, if you all want Fractals to be an elitist thing, then sure.

I think adding certain story and explore mode dungeon sections into the even numbered fractals would be interesting… and completing them would still give you the daily chest (it’s just an alternative to the Jade Maw). Though with agony and no wps, there might need to be some serious retooling (certainly less hp).

Doesn’t this comment mean you have been tempted?

Temptation has occurred. Fear the future!

What just happened? It would certainly be more exciting that going afk on the Jellyfish Beast.

ON TOPIC: I support Lupicus for all bosses, in every instance, 2012.

If you’re going afk on the jellyfish, you’re doing it wrong.

OMG! A giant lobster with lots of crabs are trying to kill me…

UUPS! Already done that idea…

And Simin, too.

Make it so, #1.

How about some notable GW1 bosses making a comeback? Whether they are in Fractals or in their own dungeon, it wouldn’t matter to me.

When I saw the Jade Sea fractal, I kept wondering to myself: “I wonder what would it be like if Kanaxai was there instead of the Jade Maw?”

I think that would make my day!

I like that they added things like the Jade Sea, but I think we need to move the story onwards. Onwards! There’s so much new history to make!

This.

Normally i wouldn’t support reusing bosses, but Lupicus needs more love! Easily the best boss in the game.

What anet should do is reduce the physical damage he does with his attacks, but have them cause agony to compensate. The result is the boss is easier than the Arah fight if you have high agony resist, and about the same/harder if you do not. Makes for a nice skill based fight, rather than a gear check like jaw maw.

Maybe have kohler be a boss only early on too. Some players need a reminder that the dodge button exists.

The Demagogue is a group event in Brisban Wildlands. He caused a lot of people a lot of grief in Prophecies.

DO IT >:D

Stop trying to turn a casual game into something else.

Finding a group for your own fractal level is not casual anymore.
It requires hours of active group finding grind.

If they add Lupicus to Fractals: Great.
If Simin were to be added to Fractals: Ragequit and never get back there.

Arenanet should make Frost be the endboss of the Snow Blind fractal.

I would stop doing Fractals if they put Lupe in there.

Are you implying Lupicus is hard? Gooby pls

I remember the Demagogue. I can’t remember how many attempts I’ve made just to get the bonus objective for that mission for the first time, but it was annoying to say the least, especially in Hard Mode. As with the Demagogue’s event in Brisban Wildlands, I have yet to participate in that one even though I’m aware of the presence of the White Mantle and their subtle involvement with the human bandit attacks. I suppose a Fractal that involves the White Mantle might be in the works for the future!

Lets replace the Legendary Grawl Shaman on 30+ with 2 Giganticus Lupicuses, with certain party compositions it would be a lot easier and less frustrating.

Villagers spawning Grubs, no thanks

Let’s have Lupus, Simin and Alpha3 in every fractal instead. Y’know, ‘cause we don’t fight them enough.

Speaking seriously, the “Fractal Lupicus” is Legendary Imbued Shaman (from level 10).

Ground damage, AoE damage, arrows impossible to be seen (cuz you lose time watching your burning feet), 20 lava elementals with a dps higher than the boss dps, hp regen…

So do not add another one :P

Lupicus with agony, oh how the pugs would cry.

I would love to fight Lupi powered up with agony! But for this one I would like some real rewards- even finding people to try him with me would be an acomplishment;)

Hehe Lup with agony, no running from wp, sounds fun but a lot of people would stop doing fractals

…I’m suddenly in favor of this.

I’m sorry, did you just say that agony resist = skill and not gear check?

a Shiro based fractal would be nice

Adding old bosses from GW1 with “similar” mechanics is a far more interesting option than adding Lupi

i also support the ideea of lupicus instead of jade maw. (even if atm i don’t play gw2 for the moment, thief strike :P)
it would separate kids from real men !

Negativity.5801:

Lupicus isn’t hard

But in Fractals at some level he will eventually become “hard” no matter how good you are. And you have to admit he’s a lot more fun than the Jade Maw. I want to see whoever made Lupi back for Fractal bosses, I got sick of doing daily runs jut because the Jade Maw is so kitten boring and long.

Oo? What in the world did I just ….
Must be nippon, must be.

PS: Dear DEVs if you are going to add something insanely hard to Fractals please make it optional, with no extra reward, but the challenge itself.

THIS^^

while i try to do fractals with my usual group, sometimes real life issues force us to play with pugs, and since there is no inspect option so you can filter out the MF leechers, and even if there would be one you still cant say if someone is skilled (i tend to force roll volcano or dredge as 1st fractal for the pug groups i create, so if we fail at that at least its a disband at the 1st fractal, and not the 3rd one).

And don’t get me wrong, I’m not an elitist, everyone can make a mistake, it happens, but I fail to understand how can someone be fractal 25 and not know how to fight the volcano shaman, we 3 manned in a guardian(tanky) -necro (pure condi) – elementalist(glass canon) setup on level 24, and we had to 3 man because we wiped with the group of 5 four times, and the 2 decided to leave (we were trying to give them advices, to no avail), then we tried it as 3 and made it on the 1st try with no problems.

Please add Lupicus, maybe in a slightly adjusted form (less hp, no grub phase, lower dmg, but with added agony on hit).

Lupus with agony…

Koptev said it best: NO NO NO.

+1 to this Idea Lupi with agony would be funny to watch :P
