Exploiter Orb boss fight wasted potential due to pacing / rewards issues

[Vit0Corleone]

I remember doing Exploiter back in the day and my thoughts were at the time: what a cool boss fight.

It's an example of how you guys can make a boss fight that isn't about damage output, but rather about mechanical multi stage challenges with cool animations in between.

I went to do it today, and I felt something has changed.

The pacing is just way off on the outside stage of the fight. Coolant Raknoids either don't spawn or spawn only a couple far far away.

This causes most of that stage of the boss fight to be about just waiting and hopefully eventually find enough Raknoids.

It's a real shame really, because this bad pacing and the lack of any interesting evergreen rewards, makes this boss fight pretty much irrelevant, especially considering how much time it takes.

I still think that in concept it's one of the best fights we have, it will be great if you guys could do a review on this and bringing back to life ..

Thanks for listening!

Edit:

1) After maybe 5 minutes waiting around, I went to explore further away and found canisters not anywhere close the fight. Seems somehow the Raknoids were dying on their own far away before they reach the area.

I have observed the weirdness with Raknoids as well. I'm not sure what happened with their spawning but there's something goofed up about it now.
