    2. Just a matter of time till players figure out these "Criteria" and tweak the fight by setting up those "Criteria", this is called seed-manipulation in most speedruns because they know the exact sequence that's going to happen
    3. You mean like the Susano fight? What's the point, this is just another scripted phase then.
    Yes thank you.. understanding the boss is a skill that should be learned.. players should be able to understand those criteria after many many many fights.. let people start to analyze fights and act upon it not all bosses should have same mindset or way to fight

    Rage mechanic shouldn't be scripted

    As I said unpredicted movement and attacks that can be randomize from set of attacks that is assigned to boss

    Scripted but randomized and have some variants that can be randomized like who is boss targeting and why based on boss hp or boss set up for next mechanic

    Which leads to the problem that was described earlier:

    Either people will simply bruteforce it, or they will find a very specific, optimal setup that negates the randomness, forcing everyone to follow that meta or not be invited to groups.
    It will not make the fights more fun, it will simply alienate a large part of the player base and grant access to a select few.
    Not a sane decision for a company to make.
