@Drusenija Love the fights, the boss designs are excellent, mechanics innovative and fun (except for the random floating hearts in 2nd, same dislike as the running puppets in the spooky expert 1st boss), will need to listen to the music proper when I'm back at my home PC but it did seem good as well.
Really enjoying the transformative arenas in 1 and 4, but hoping we don't end up with PvP tiles in M1S like it was in E9S - it put me off from that raid tier, which I still regret.
Oh, don't mention those puppets, they're horrible ๐ตโ๐ซ
What are PvP tiles? I'm very new at Savage, haven't ever done the older fights on level so I don't have context on what that is.
@Drusenija In Eden 9 (The Cloud of Darkness) there is a phase where the arena turns into 5x5 tiles, in Savage 3 tiles in each corner and the middle tile are death zones, leaving 12 tiles to move on - if 2 players occupy the same tile, it breaks; if a player stays on a tile for too long (~15s?), it breaks. There's a half-room cleave which requires everyone to scootch over to the safe 8 tiles, which can easily make players step into another's tile or be locked out of refreshing theirs.
Ah, fair enough, I see what you mean now ๐ Then yes, I agree, hopefully they don't do that again!
