There is new content in v.136, and there’s bound to be spoilers ahead, either in the original post or its replies. If you’d rather keep the new content a surprise, stop reading now.
It’s been a while, but I have been feverishly working on a new boss. Yes, for the entire last 8 weeks or so. I will make a detailed post during the v.136 release proper, but for now suffice it to say that this has been a very complex and challenging boss to implement. But I think the end result is worth it.
New things are always buggy things, and since it is no longer possible for me to instantly release hot-fixes, I’m going to run a BETA server to iron out the kinks before releasing this officially.
To make testing easier, the boss for all Invasion missions (and other similar/compatible mission types) is always the new boss. It will also appear on all difficulties – note however that in the official release it will be restricted to higher difficulties (possibly at least 65%).
Please post feedback here about technical issues (slowdowns, graphical glitches, etc), as well as gameplay/difficulty of your fights.
You can link your existing account that you normally use. Multiplayer games will not work. Progress on the BETA server is completely separate from the LIVE server. It’s based on a database snapshot when v.135 was released, so your progress will be rolled back slightly (when compared to your live account).
I don’t know how long server will stay on-line, but it should be online for 24 hours at least. It will also depend on your feedback. I will notify as I take it off-line and back on-line.
Bug: Its arms can smash through player’s respawn shield, killing the player immediately even during the invulnerability time just after respawning. This only applies to its arms, all other attacks are correctly protected by the invulnearability shield.
Burger should appear in Food Raids (with equal weight for both bosses), since Chef is still the only boss that appears there. All the other Special waves/missions have two bosses.
destroying the eyes gives you a powerup but they have no effect on the boss itself and the boss can die without any damage dealt to the eyes, kinda weird
