The programmer that decided "HEY, I KNOW. LET'S MAKE IT SO IT'LL TELEPORT FREQUENTLY, MAKING IT A PAIN FOR MELEE CLASSES AND NANOBLASTS TO ATTACK! Also! We'll make it lunge forward with a huge ass, disgustingly OP sword attack that'll one hit kill a lot! Oh, while we're at it, let's give it a spin attack that'll also one hit kill you! Fuck yeah, this'll piss players off! :D" is an asshole.

tl;dr: Magas Maggahna makes me rage and I hate all of its attacks. Who's with me? D:

Seconded. Wait, which game is this? No matter, that boss is still quite annoying at best.

Definitely PSU. He's not so annoying in PSP2 due to actually being able to attack his lower body when you break part of it off, and yeah. Maggahna puts Dulk Fakis to shame. Earlier, I was doing an S2 Spiral Labyrinth run with 3 other players and annoyingly, it was teleporting constantly and would barely stop moving long enough for me to even think about attacking. Wasted my Nanoblast and managed to cheap kill me twice in a row by doing a combo of sword thrusting and spinning.

Kinda ruined an otherwise flawless run for me. :/

Magas Meghanna is just kind of bad boss design (although in PSP2 he's not so bad as you said, also due to the fact that you can dodge roll through or block his sword attacks), though Dimmagolus was worse, not sure what they had in mind when they designed that one, but it certainly wasn't fun.

Hey, let's have a boss that you can't hit ever, oh, it finally landed, looks like it stunned you and started flying again, better luck next time. Wanna shoot it down? looks like a thing grabbed you while you were immobile in FPS mode, looks like you can't avoid that tornado now.

But he has a god damn tell for that move. You guys seriously can't get out of FPS mode fast enough to avoid it? I am disappointed. Also, going in a fight you know that deals with a flying boss as a Fighmaster, is ballsie, I'll give you that. Doesn't mean it isn't stupid.

Olga Flow 1st form, Dark Falz final form, and De Rol Le/Da Ra Lie/Barba Ray.

Playing the melee class sucked during those boss fights.

Anyone defending Magas Maggahna in PSP2 have their point rendered moot by Faz'ntar & Seg'ntar. Whatever movement and evasive capabilities were taken away from Magas were given to these two fucks three fold in spades. They are constantly jumping/attacking, and by the time you maneuver into striking range they're ready to leap away again.

Bring ranged weapons, and the fight is a whole lot less annoying.

I can dodge Onma and Dimma's attacks just fine. It's getting them to stay on the ground long enough so I can beat the piss out of them that annoys me. D:

Always have guns, no matter what class you are.

I liked Magas, but mostly because I always play rangers and it gave me an opportunity to use the Rifle bullets I spent decades leveling.

Magas was only ever mildly annoying when Goliath very first released.; he gives a huge amount of warning for any of his dangerous attacks. His attacks hurt, but are easy to avoid.

Some of the PSP2 and PSP2 Infinity bosses are FAR worse :wacko:

Was a terrible boss for any Techer class, even those weak bullets were an instant kill.

De Rol Le isn't bad, since he's scripted to run up to the raft where he can be hit several times in several places at once for massive damage. Barba Ray is much worse, as are the others you named.

I forgot about those jerks. Yet another interesting idea that was horribly implemented, much like the chaining system.

God, don't remind me about Barba Ray. Soloing him as my Hunter on Episode I & II GC offline was a rage fest for me. Amusingly enough, the thing that infuriated me the most was my game DREing on me as I was returning to P2. God, that was depressing. Mind you, I've had the disc since its release date.

I always though Barba Ray was fun.

I guess he's not so bad if you're a RA or FO type, due to epic ranged damage (RA) and Buffs/Heals and nuking like a boss (FO).

Also, I found something else to rage about.

The lazy fucking scrubs sitting around the lobby begging for pathetic amounts of Meseta (10-900K). If you feel you have to beg for Meseta, then why the fuck are you playing PSU? You could be earning more than what you're begging for if you actually fucking run missions. We've an event going on right now, so that means slightly more cmission clear Meseta than usual. Lazy twats. What annoys me is, once they get that Meseta, they'll probably spend it on some stupid Rappy suit which costs way more than any S rank weapon that's around 50k-500K Meseta and they'll probably try to sell it for double what they paid for it.

Seriously, what's with Rappy suits being more valuable than fucking weapons?God damned little kids and undercutting scrubs.

Why whine about Magas?
Even the Faz'ntar & Seg'ntar are nothing with ranged weapons as backup.
In Infinity, i can easiely melee them with Foverse on.
Focusing on the one weak to ranged first so itīs faster to finish them both off.

Bah, i like to get my ass kicked and i rarely do.
I will probably swear, but at least it keeps me motivated.

Speaking of annoying bosses, Dios gets my vote for most loathsome, doubly so when facing him alone as a melee character.
Whoever designed him at SEGA must have been a sadist: this guy was made to make you lose your chain.

All those moves he uses, 90/180 degree spins, the little hops, all the charging attacks, and pretty much every single move he does knocks you down.
Nothing like having an 80 chain going and seeing him dash 2 screens away in the same second you unleash a PA, it's like he's reading your input. (is he?)

Or playing chase-the-tail, when he does that 180 degree turn when you're getting close, over and over. I noticed that when he's close to the wall and his tail is "inside" it (thus untargetable), he often stays in the same position for longer than 30 seconds, even though normally he's hopping all over the place.
What's up with that, that bug abuser!


And not to mention the drop rate, or lack thereof.

Dios gets my point for being tough as a nut.
Feels like ages taking potshots with the rifle.

Fun to fight otherwise.
Always being on the move. ^^
