Fix the Second boss in Forked Tower: Blood.

[AstreaLove]

In Forked Tower: Blood, Dead Stars (the second boss Phobos, Triton & Nereid) to be defeated all three of them need to reach 0.1% however our group can consistently defeat them long before Fireballs, usually sometime between the second Delta Attack and around the line-stack marker, we have all three at 0.1%. However, we still have to do the full Fireball mechanic, then wait for them to get up, and start casting Six Folded Fistfight, and not until then does the fight consider itself to be over.
Do you think that's an oversight from SE, or do you think it's intentional, it doesn't really make sense that the fight goes for another 90 seconds before it's considered dead.

It happens in other fights in the game as well. For example, in EX3, once ice phase cast begins, you have to do the entire thing even if it's at 0.1% throughout. There's also Thordan.

I don't know if it's intentional but I feel like it's something that would be coded intentionally to prevent bugs when it's in the middle of a mechanic. It's hard to say because there are plenty of mechanics where that isn't an issue as well.

I do know that in the past they wanted to address an issue where mechanics were getting skipped and different parties were seeing enrage at different timelines which is unfair, so maybe it's some side effect of trying to address that.

The second "boss" in Forked Tower: Blood is the only encounter in the entire instance that actually has its own, internal narrative structure and story. It absolutely makes sense that you should have to see all phases of the fight.

This still doesn't explain the HP bars. People shouldn't be punished for dealing good damage.

What's the matter afraid you might have to actually do a mechanic?

It's one of the mechanics where one person being in the wrong place can cause a wipe, so wanting to skip that mechanic if the damage has been on point is actually understandable.

On the other end, if they're already getting the three bosses to almost zero, chances are they've done FT for long enough to know full well how to do mechanics flawlessly which begs the question again on why do they need to do mechanics they've long beaten when they've put good enough DPS. At that point, it's not an obstacle, but a waste of time.

You probably replied to a troll, this sounds same as some people complain you can skip scales, so hurr durr first timers can't see them.

Hp lock is just oversight/bad programming.

its no punishment if theres no disadvantage to low dps groups

Then it shouldn't be an issue for them and it's not worth complaining about.
