    At this point just be happy you got to do them before they got nerfed to the ground, I would fall asleep and quit before 50 as a new player.

    As somebody who started playing the game way later than you, it was more annoying and frustrating to sit and watch a battle when I fell off (or not being able to resurrect somebody when they fell). It didn't make me want to quit but I don't think the person you were 7 years ago enjoyed it much at all.

    Hate to be that guy but you know there's a solution to this besides unnecessary nerfs?

    Don't get knocked off.

    Agreed for the most part. The 4 man should allow you to rez but 8man hard/ex modes should not be touched. In a way, the way it felt already felt like it was exclusive to Titan which made him a much more dangerous threat. Get rid of that and people might as well run unsynced since what little thrill to that fight is now gone. The bigger question is will this "fix" be applied to the Unreal version when it comes back?

    A lot of players are playing with bad latency and poor FPS. I can remember when I started playing - I was on a toaster of a computer (barely met the minimum system requirements at the time) with a slow internet connection.

    I would do my best not to get knocked off by Titan but it was always a crapshoot. Most of the time, I would still get knocked off despite doing my best to anticipate the need to move. I would feel bad for not being able to contribute the rest of the fight and it discouraged me from queuing for group content because I would never know if I would get stuck in a duty where my FPS issues would be a big detriment to the group.

    Then I finally got a decent computer. What happened? I stopped getting knocked off and was able to contribute for all of the fight. I don't worry when I queue anymore.

    What SE is doing not only making a better experience for the individual player, it is removing a penalty that the entire party is incurring because one member doesn't have the best equipment.

    I don't necessarily agree that they needed to make the change for the EX trials (EX is totally optional content) but certainly it was warranted for Normal/Hard modes.

    Aye this, my friend from Brazil couldn't even see the lines on the ground one time, Titan just went into the turn animation and instantly cast the push back. My partner was doing the wondrous tales while I was at work and forgot to turn the vpn on and even moving when the lines first appeared moved and got yeeted anyway extremely late after he thought he was safe.

    You can also get murdered by your team bursting you from the rock if you are freed within the yeet lines. You can't move right after freed because you are stunned for a small amount of time. I think it is sad. I would much rather prefer the sprout going through the fight their first time to actually get to play the duty they may have spend 20 minutes or more to queue for.

    Avoiding getting knocked off is not a justification for seemingly very poor game design. Insta-death alone is perfectly fine.
