    Good on perma death changing. It was bad design anyway. That's why we still have platform fights but they stopped doing perma death. There's nothing fun or challenging about sliding off and getting carried the rest of the fight. It just puts undue stress on the other players and the person who slid off learns nothing. It also limits the ability for a team to recover from errors, increasing the likelihood that there will be a total wipe and people will start to bail. This is a good change.

    For Stone Vigil and Sohr Khai, those are both MSQ dungeons. They probably had to make some adjustments for Trust AI.

    And let's be real here, when is the last time you saw someone do the cannons in SV? I've gotten it in Leveling a lot recently and unless I interact with them, the other players just ignore them. I'll be happy if they managed to get Trusts to react to them so I actually see someone using them again.

    Would be muuuuuuch more worth interacting with those if it did not stink so much. Spam spam spam away at numpad 0 until it registers the click then the attack goes off anyway because I activated it "too late". Then you realize that one single whispering dawn and the fairy can heal that entire fight so you greed uptime instead. Actually anything involving cannons is so fricken wonky for reasons mysterious.

    Makes the alterations even more of the confusing. Just watched family member blast through Vigil first time on Scholar, did not even need to clense burns from first boss because the fairy took care of everything. Pulled the entire first hallway to the boss door and obliterated the pull after one wipe. Yes I mean everything. The first hallway, all the dargons in the adjacent room alllllll the way to the Swinge boss.

    Fairy has pretty much always been that OP all the way back to ARR, though. AFK scholars who went on /follow letting the fairy heal was a common thing. And yeah, the cannon mechanic was also flaky. So it's not really teaching much except how to hate something in the game for not reacting when you interact with it.

    Not related to the quote, but going back to perma death. I think many in this thread don't realize Titan got nerfed years ago. You used to have to stare at the floor when you slid off. So you weren't even able to see the fight. A QoL went in so you could at least watch the fight, and now there's another QoL going in so teams have a chance of recovery.
