Hm...sure about that?

Never tried Savage before EW but been doing Extremes since HW. You telling me I could have been clearing 2 fights of Savages for all these expansions? Extremes used not to have a lot of the things they have now. I'm not sure when they decided body checks were a good idea (Emerald Weapon, maybe?), but they used not to be as much of a focus as they are now. The used to feel a lot more approachable and allowed a lot more room for errors.

Yoshi P said Ex5 was more the traditional design, and it felt COMPLETELY different than the others in EW. (My bigger issue there is long periods of no damage and then a big spike of like 5 mechs at once towards the end then another 3-4 at once right after that). The only ones this expansion that have felt kinda like old expansion Extremes to me were ZodEx and RubiEx. ZodEx and HydEx are the only ones that I don't think had body checks (though Hyd is iffy with the LP stack late in the fight). ZodEx has a semi-soft enrage before the enrage at the end as well. ZodEx is also the only one that really felt like it was between Savage and normal/MSQ content difficulty. And even it had the snakes that were hard for a lot of people to wrap their heads around.
