Is there anyway when you 100% a piece of permanent content, you can just jump to the boss?

BadPullsMarco · January 5

There are tons of bosses that I really enjoyed and would love to play again, but not at the cost of revives and time to get too. My favorite boss in the game is Necropolis Grandmaster which I would fight all the time for just fun but as it is now, it’s just to unreasonable. Again, this feature could be locked behind total exploration as to not take away from any monetary gain from initial reward chase, but once that’s done, and there’s no incentive to go into a quest again, why not unlock the fights for those who just really enjoyed them?

MrSakuragi · January 5

Probably not happening because bosses get reused in new content from time to time.

BadPullsMarco · January 5

Yeah, I actually thought about that almost immediately. Shame though, I would love if they did.

Squidopus · January 5

There’s also the issue that with this feature comes the possibility that people will have monetary incentive to account share in order to give people free passes to practice bosses they themselves haven’t fought yet. It’s a very neat idea in principle, and one I’d love since as you say some of the boss fights are quite fun, but there’s too much abuse potential for it to ever realistically happen.

Darthbane3141 · January 5

I was just thinking that would be a great addition to the game. I just did another Grandmaster run yesterday for fun, and I had to spend a few minutes doing the path, which was annoying. I think once you defeat a boss, there should be a way to just jump straight to them.

I have thought about this too. I was trying to advise someone on how to do the Bahamet and IronMan Cerastes fight, and make a vid showing how I did it, but didn't want to do the paths again. Same for 9.1.4 BWCV boss. I wanted to go back and make one small change in the fight to see if it made a huge difference in the outcome, but didn't want to do the paths again.

Kabam has made skipping to the boss an option before, in Act 4.3 with Venom boss. I remember that because that's what I did lol. So the idea wouldn't be totally new. I think it could be fun, but Kabam would have to find a way minimalize or prevent potential cheating and abuse that Squid mentioned.

That's not a valid reason with the act 4 venom as doing it the short path adds a ton of nodes to the fight and makes it different than taking a long route.

What? I was pointing out the "skip to the boss" option. That's it. The ability itself is there.

That fight specifically gets harder if you don't take the other paths. It's not the same fight if you skip straight to it and the quest was built that way

Did i not make it clear enough? Taking the short path on venom is a different fight than doing it after a long path. The nodes change depending on path taken. The short path leaves all nodes turned on.

Ok since your deliberately trying to be a dunce here, you claim it's a shortcut to fight the boss. That would be correct except in this case all the nodes stay on if you take the short path. That makes it a different fight than doing the long paths. Therefore it's not a shortcut to practice the fight over and over as each time you fight it, it will be different. It's the same thing as grandmaster and other notable boss fights. So, say clearly, there is still no way to practice boss fights. Unless of course you've never beaten act 4 venom? Might explain a few things.

Hi @BadPullsMarco ,

I, like you and other on this thread, also always wanted this option, as there are so many fight that I would to jump back in a just have fun with.

But as @MrSakuragi and yourself pointed out it wouldn't happen because some of these content get reused for Carina Challenges, ect.

I think the best we got so far was the Crucible, I wouldn't mind if Kabam make more of that, maybe one for every Act, and for the lower (earlier Act) they can put a champion rarity in (like 4* only or 5* only), so players remember what it feel like completely those Bosses with lower rarity champions. Would be good fun nostalgia 😊

By that logic, every season of agony etc fight is a skip to a boss fight.

BadPullsMarco · January 5

Oh, what about the idea of a skip ticket for champs that you already fought on a path. Make these skip tickets, purchasable or rare so that people who account share are not incentivize to give out their skip tickets and ethical players can save them up for when they wanna have fun with an old boss they liked?

Well techinically yes and no. Seasons of Pains bosses are the only one fight, until you get to the gauntlet, so yeah you would "skip" to the boss. In questing, there are other mini bosses, so skipping to the boss option can be applied with the same coding or whatever it is kabam does to make it that way.

Now where was I? Oh yeah..
