Forked Tower: Blood Needs A Normal Mode

[Supersnow845]

Here’s a question more out of curiosity

Let’s say there was a forked normal. And let’s say this forked normal dropped sanguinite so now you aren’t hard blocked at +1. There is still the fact that the gear progression ends at +2. Forked also doesn’t have a story and doesn’t expand on OC’s non existent story

People say CLL felt like a cap off but was that because people actually liked the raid (this applies to dal as well) or was it because Bozja was fantastic at environmental storytelling, hell dalriada doesn’t contribute to bozja’s power structure at all. Like what would a hypothetical forked normal “cap off” in the zone for you. Or is it more simply not wanting to miss out on a dal quality raid

For me, the problem starts with OC's gameplay loops: it's endless zerging between FATEs and CEs, or it's endless killing of trash mobs. There is nothing "accessible" that interrupts those loops.

These loops are the same ones as in Bozja, but CLL and Dalriada interrupt them.

And unlike Calamity Bound, Eureka's capstone NMs are a slog to kill the trash mobs for solo, have other conditions attached to them, and drop special currency, so you have a reason to look forward to them and to rally people for them.
