again a bad endwalker trial

[Supersnow845]

The trial just felt………..undercooked, maybe a better description is it felt like an extreme trial they cut down but the trial has no extreme version

The “shiva mirrors” with the giant clone was totally fine as was the 6 half room cleaves but everything else was just kinda……..disconnected in a weird way

Why was there onion ring AOE’s, what was the point of the overdesigned colour half room cleaves, why did that one random AOE leave behind after images that just ended up being generic circular AOE’s

It felt like a whole bunch of mechanics that an extreme would stack together in an interesting way, like the shiva mirror clone would store 3 mechanics, then progressively release them whole you did other mechanics like remembering a series of the coloured half room cleaves while dodging the onion ring + after images AOE. But there is no extreme so the trial is just kinda there

The thing is, this trial wasn't designed to stand besides the usual ones. It was primarily designed to be played by people at fanfest and just got added to the game after. Its easier because of that.

While you're correct it wasn't designed to be at the same level as the usual trials, I'm fairly certain that it was always intended to be part of the Hildibrand questline. I was predicting that as soon as the trial was announced before the first FanFest.
