The first 30 seconds were a riot... same game I know since when I was in the Beta.
Ahahahah its a recycled Minotaur with different skin.
))))))))))
LOL @ Desync'd horse. So basically you stand there, he doesn't even hit you, and you just keel over and die every so often.
Very engaging.
He who keeps his cool best wins.
Is it supposed to just stand in place like that? It looks like it's giving people heart attacks or something.

Wow, I knew you guys were pretty desparate to slam the game, but hacking the web page of a major game site so a user review masquarades as an official one? Pretty impressive.
[Edit: no, after seeing there's an actual video associated with it, I guess not, despite the wierd way GameSpot distributes its content making it looks like the reviewer didn't even write this.]
I don't get it. Why isn't the boss fighting back?
I don't know. It wasn't all spectacle...with spells firing off left and right and power cycled special attacks...but it was still kinda cool. I especially like that they had to haul ass...in unison..to the bank before someone robbed them of their booty. LOL. i dig it.
Wow... Are the other parts as compelling and how many are there? There must have been half the server there!
Is the mob desynced /lagged or supposed to do nothing?
I win!!! LOL@U
it doesnt do nothing, it will kill you if you go near it, basically they kept there distance and it doesnt really move very much at all. Firing arrows at it i believe it took 15k arrows to kill. There is a proper way to kill it but nobody has of yet figured it out so they use this costly tactic that takes 4 hours.
I agree though that it looks like its bugged or something when infact its working as intended its jsut they are to far away from it. The devs need to make the kimuru actually try moving towards its opponents a little
there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters.
So.. what I gather from the above.. is that the AI (which is now said to be fully functional) for the big bad boss mob in the game.. consists of standing in place for 4 hours while being shot by 15,000 arrows?
If I somehow misunderstood.. please feel free to correct me.

This boss fight is a perfect example of the game. It takes no skill and is all about how big your zerg is and what resources are at your disposal.
This is why I left MO.
They should have made it a Ent, at least that might explain it static nature.
I win!!! LOL@U
So whats the difference between this boss and shooting at that big tree in the jungle? It's working as intended that the boss is a stationary drake mount dispenser?
I've seen mobs like these in Perpetuum lately. Nobody calls them boss mobs, just bugged mobs. :P
Lulwut? Are you sure that you did not confused it with some WoW thing? Because all that Kimuru drops is metal or needed to make metal. Thunderegg is an IRL metal as well.
Please, get some facts strait instead of talking bullshit.
Also, as it was said, if you shoot at Kimuru from range you WILL eventually die if no one will heal you and fighting it head on is pretty much impossible at the moment.
How does it kill you from a distance? Just curious as it doesn't look like it bothers to chase people down.
As much as I want MO to succeed all I have to say to that is:-
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
God... laughing irl so hard at the video and thread comments.
Kimuru spreads Ebola, he doesnt need to chase.
lol
I win!!! LOL@U
It's like Mean Look from Pokemon, except it does damage.
Each time you shoot it from a distance you take some damage, something like magic reflect shield, but for arrows.
Wtf is this crap? the most boring raid i have witnessed in years of playing MMOS.
Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

Im picking on WoW btw because its the beast that made all of this possible
are you kidding this is supposed to be exciting/unique/. its freaking boring
live long and prosper
strength and honor
if urgent do it yourself
if you have time-delegate it
if you have forever-form a committee
So my question is, if this was suppose to be some EPIC Boss kill were the 11 people that were there the whole server?
Looks like it will still be a long time before I use my free month from that nice pre-order cd sitting on the shelf!
Eheh, doesn't look very interesting, does it?
))
Its not epic boss, just a normal one.
So if I understand correctly from the vid I just watched, all you need is a dozen of archers and 1 or 2 healers and shoot a huge static target until you depleted his weak amount of HP.
I'm playing EverQuest Classic on EQemu (project 1999) and I'm thinking how a 1999 game have such superior AI and strategy for raid bosses compared to a 2010 game?
Is that what they consider dynamic content in this game? Damn that looked incredibly boring, I've found crafting in games to be more fun than that looked. The music in the video was cool, that was about it.
I still can't decide which game I would want to play less if they were the only two games left on the planet, Mortal Online or Final Fantasy XIV...
