Overtuned MSQ 4-mans and subpar story ends 12-year journey

[AlienDiplomat]

Can you please provide an example here? Like genuinely. “Unimaginative, unintuitive insta-death mechanics”

Yuweyawata Field Station Boss 2: "Lost Hope"
Four random players need to rely on their ping and spatial relationship ability to line up the spinning hand in multiple directions to navigate through zig zag paths to the outside of the room or they are 1-shot.

Everyone I talk to hates the spinning hand mechanic, but they keep using it. Re: unimaginative + 1-shot.

Yuweyawata Field Station Boss 3: AOE Spirals
Absolute cluster of visually confusing animation effects. Very large AOE spirals fill up whole room rather than alternating rows as implied by the pre-AOE visuals (and every other similar mechanic in the game). Must locate the 1 or 2 small safe spaces instead. Very short duration between AOE circles appearing and damage vs. any MSQ-required 4-man prior to DT.

Could also point to the jump to Raging Claw on Boss 3 during the hole phase where you need to sprint to the tiny area behind him in time to avoid being killed, while avoiding falling in the insta-death hole, WHILE spread markers are dropped on you.

Like I said I'm sure raiders and people that enjoy more challenging roulettes love this stuff, but it has no place locking people out of progressing the base game MSQ.
