More Minibosses, Please.

A big gripe with warframe is that no single enemy is hard to kill or dangerous (unless you're under equiped, which isn't fun either) So, whilst you main get some satisfaction from completing objectives, escaping death, talking to the clan or pulling off the correct sequence of powers, there's no real happyness to be gained from killing a common enemy. Ya just shoot them, no risky manouvre or strain of skill required. A horde of enemies is dangerous, but a horde of enemies is also easy to beat. 

 

 

(we're still waiting on that infested juggernaut and shield moa; but I don't think they're going to be enough.) #

 

Something like; 

 

The occasional flying terror. Think an Ogma. A dreg or two. Maybe a Raptor. An infested flying spaghetti beast. Perhaps, like vey hek, If you damage the tougher ones enough they might retreat further into the level to fight you once again.  

 

The Tenno mashing mellee monster. A big grineer with a hammer, A corpus robot that will kill you real close, an infested ancient that knows tentacle kung fu. A nutcase with a jetpack and a sword.  

 

A weapons platform. Think Jackals for both grineer and corpus (though modified differently to suit each faction's taste), the infested juggernaut which is coming soon(never), maybe even an infested Jackal. Just think something slow moving, with powerful but avoidable attacks, that probably needs two players to take out. 

 

The support wizard. 

So think of an enemy who doesn't attack the players. Instead, his abilities have two functions. To keep himself alive (teleport, nulifier shield, huge jump. actively avoiding player crosshairs. whatever.) and to make the enemy more dangerous (increased rate of fire, movement speed, increased agression, martyrdom, group invisibility, the dead come back)

You've been gone awhile. The Shield Moa was part of a PC event we PS4 players will be getting soon. Also, I recommend playing Void Sabotage at T1/T3 and T2/T4, as those both have more examples of well-done minibosses. Hyenas are another example.

They exist already in the game, but it's a matter of getting DE to put them in normal gameplay more often.

Totally agree, boss fight are amazing, but rare.

[(XBOX)LordPuck]

Yes please.

With the Manic added to the game....they're coming.

 

The Riot Moa was shown off during the False Profit event, and the Juggernaut for the infested has been in the works for awhile now.
