Great way to punish griefers. Lure them into an arena, then summon a boss and seal them in. It'll at least give them a scare.

If we can get everyone on here in a server I would say fighting the Eater of Worlds would be a piece of Cake what with me hiding in a hole far away and all. ( Now thats Dwarfy )

I could write a novel on how many ways that could go wrong and follow up with a sequal consisting on reasons why that sentence is stupid, to boot.

Oh man, these guys are twits but at least they are funny to listen to and watch play, once you've seen the early game.

"Oh Lewis, I've fallen in hole! Noooooo Lewis, don't pour water in my hole!"

This whole game seems like it's built for griefing if your server is open.

-Load up on Corruption seeds and dynamite.
-Go to open server.
-Blow everything up.
-Seed corruption everywhere.
-Leave a wooden sign that calls everyone on the server a fag.

Thank god they had the commonsense to create password protected servers before release. Still, that only deals with the random anonymous griefers. It's the griefers you know you have to worry about :P

Mm... I can see hopping into a server and quietly going about stripping off the top layer of stone/ore for the overworld, replacing it with dirt, and then working your way back towards the spawn picking up sunflowers. Some bit later...

Alternately, going and aggroing 6-7 devourers, then leading them back to spawn in a early-game server. The real trick is doing something vicious without being totally overt, heh. Spamming dynamite would be easy, but what would be better would be walling in someone that just threw some :P

Watching the PBat stuff though, I am sorta' curious... anyone know if holding down the mouse button'll keep swinging or not? I keep hearing P going berserk on the mouse when things get hectic, and if keeping the button pressed doesn't autofire... ugh. That'd be painful (and auto-hotkeyed into oblivion :-\).

I am going to do this in single player. I want to create the last bastion of good in a corrupted land.

Surviving boss fights seems to be about having enough potions, having enough armor so you live long enough to use said potions and having enough/the right type of weapon so hitting the boss isn't a total pain in the ass.

Though I like how if you know each boss you can build an arena for each one to make the fight easier.
Surviving boss fights seems to be more about either preparing a lot over a long period of time to do exactly what you described or using your head and predicting the boss movements thanks to a predictable pattern of movement. This is known as having skill and mastering the game, which I'm told is fun.

 I dunno, when we got meta about what the game is about and how the elements are used it all looks so pointless doesn't it? Differing opinions on what is fun or not, bickering over how features will work based on closed alpha builds that are not the final game, saying specific features are negative while ignoring the fact that for a lot of people these features are what make a game fun, completely missing the point of the game and other such infuriating nonsense we seem to be squabbling about.

 I dunno, something about this thread is infuriatingly unfun and is turning me off from the game.

I think you're seeing more squabbling than is really happening. All of what I said is fun to me. I don't see a lot of magical boss strategy though, and I'm simply stating that opinion. You can find that magical strategy, if you want, but on the other hand, just a shitload of potions and shurikens work too. Not trying to kill anyone's fun by studying the game, but meta is what forums are for. Shouldn't let it bend you out of shape.

If it's anything like how minecraft servers turned out, we will have 10 empty servers and one full one that few B12ers play. :P

If we can keep people going on this, I could imagine a lot of fun setting up a Red Vs. Blue battleground, spawning a few bosses and going to war just for shits and giggles, seeing how many sticks of dynamite it takes us to blast through each other's fortresses.
