AW: Mini-Boss on node 53 - Just 1 Portal?

Feature or bug?

All of the mini bosses can be approached from two or more portals, and this makes sense, since you might need to team up with an alliance mate to take one of those buffed bad boys down...

BUT: This does not apply to the mini-Boss on node 53! It can only be approached by one portal, the one on the upper left lane... Is this a feature or a bug?

I am on that exact lane right now and have to face a Hyperion on that power gain node all on my own, without a power control champ in my team... FML...

Ummm...where is the rest of your alliance? You could send two people down the left side and still 100% with everyone else taking the other 8 minis at 2 a piece

It would be better if you could get to node 53 from 2 paths... it just makes more sense.

Is it not the same as with 51, 52 and 55?

Sure, but that would mean that the "backup guy" will necessarily have to go that route and cannot support at any other place...

As said, all other mini-bosses can be accessed from 2 or more paths...

@Kabam Miike

Any info on whether this is intended or a bug?

Come on mods, can't be that hard to say "intended" or "faulty"...

As long as that top miniboss isn't dorm or a Hyperion that decides to be really stingy, the tile is pretty easy with a magik or voodoo. Hopefully you do t need backup if the person taking that route takes proper champs.

Also, maybe post this in bugs and known issues? @Kabam Miike thoughts?

It is a feature. Its not that tough to beat a mini in this AW.

The status immune miniboss still rough. And the limber mini can still be tough if u have the right defender/mastery. And I'm ashamed to say I lost o a Mordo on the recovery tile but that was a combo of him refusing to use anybspecials and mystic dispersion taking him from a 1 bar to a 3 bar fight after fight. But for the most part I agree, with the exception of the status immune mini.

The way I see it, it doesn't matter, whether the mini-bosses are generally easy or hard. The only question is: Is 53 that much easier than the 4 other mini-bosses, that it would justify it being the only mini-boss that can only be approached by one lane...

Even in the old Map, all the mini-bosses could be approached by 3-4 lanes... Now with the portals Kabam promised more flexibility, not less flexibility...
