[Discussion] How do you define a fun boss fight?

[Kith]

Honestly, the grouping issues aside, I think Crystal Tower is a fun dungeon. The mechanics for the bosses are interesting and varied and with number tuning could easily be made "hardcore" level difficulty if that was desired and, to me this is crucial, none of the mechanics outright punish you for daring to play Realm Reborn with a ping in excess of 200 like a lot of people are forced to do due to the limited server clusters.

I've done Titan (HM) but I did it by learning the patterns and timings and moving before I even saw Plumes appear because if I wait for the in-game tell (ie, graphic to appear) i'd be hit most of the time; it wasn't particuarly fun to need to do this. Just giving a longer cast time on plumes (just half a second would do it) would mitigate the high ping issue so its not like its a huge change, but it was enough to make me consider Titan "not fun" even though I can quite comfortably farm it now.

One shot kill mechanics? Fine, even interesting at times.
Rapid response required mechanics? Fine, even interesting at times.
Combining the two above with a netcode that makes what you see differ from the server? No, just stop.
