When will Forked Tower stop keeping players Hostage in instance?

Though all of these do scale, it was implemented incorrectly. It should have been more like Bozja where it scaled with an echo rather than an HP reduction. The echo made things more survivable for smaller groups.

I think they added or increased the echo when it was no longer new? But anyway, the echo made it a joke to solo. I literally had 400,000 HP in one of the CEs and that was in Shadowbringers. Otherwise devastating mechanics became a complete joke and I could ignore absolutely everything, including deathwalls and just auto the boss down.

In contrast, the CEs still require you to do mechanics just as much when solo. I'd actually say it's perfect. They feel like duels when doing them solo, and that may be why they didn't add duels... because we kinda have them with the fact we can solo CEs.

Currently CEs don't get more survivable with small groups, they just get less tanky.

True, and that's because the sheer amount of players, quite frankly and obviously, carry eachother through. If you're doing it with a small party or solo, you are hopefully relatively confident that you can minimize or avoid vuln stacks or alternatively are prepared to risk a delevel.

I think it's still a valid concern to reassess the scaling to NOT take account the players within FTB. Especially the FATEs.

CEs except Calamity Bound are all fine though.

They are going reassess FATE scaling anyway. They are actually going to try and fix this problem they have ignored for 12 years.
