What BLU got this Patch

[Fyce]

I do like BLU for the spell collecting and SOME semblance of choice with picking spells, as well as the Masked Carnavale. The problem is this patch gave a lot of people whiplash. BLU was intended to be a solo experience, or at the very least something you could quickly gather some friends and get spells (barring a few primal ones), as well as being OP as it had to be a limited job. Now they locked things behind content on a Savage level, and once those people interested/capable of doing it get it, very few people will be able to get help doing so. Even people who ARE interested now need to find new statics. This would be all fine if BLU was OP but nah.... Barely got much.
Not all content is for everyone, but dont suddenly change a "casual" challenge into a savage-level one.

The request for something challenging to do in groups of BLUs came from the community though. And it's fair to have a (non-mandatory) reward for achieving these feats.

Also, no, BLU wasn't really intended to be all about solo. People simply got stuck on a few badly translated powerpoint slides and stretched everything to make ridiculous assumptions.
So, that side-content getting more varied stuff to do (including difficult content) isn't really a surprise. SE never said that BLU was only going to stay within that "casual" zone forever. Especially if the community requests something else.

In short, one might criticize how they did it, but not the fact that they did it since "we" asked for it.
