Scylla and Alliance A, a tale of Frozen?

[Bebekurenai]

All the runs I've done in Syrcus Tower since it was released, and being part of different parties (or alliances), I always saw Alliance A having the worst time since they get frozen most. Really, up to 6 players get frozen at the same time while the other alliances maybe get 3 max, with no fireballs to spare and relying on the other teams to be set free. And of course, the healers get frozen first, always.
Is this "working as intended"? If so, for what purpose?

Whenever I am in group A I don't get frozen anymore so than when in any other group.

I always see an abnormal high amount of getting frozen in A. But I saw some odd behaviour from the iceballs as well in the last week. One was iceball ran away from me across the field then back to me. Another one I get an iceball on me and it comes to me but instea dof freezing me dodges around me for a while while the fireball hits me then it freezes me.

Never really seen a difference in any group the only time i see more people get frozen is when the other groups are not doing well and die a lot so the remaining people get all their ice and fire so you get things like people getting attacked to two fire orbs. It takes a raid working together and communicating if both their healers are frozen but a lot of people will just take care of their own party because they can't see anything that isn't in front of them or groups don't ask for help. Most ST's just run as 3 separate parties operating on their own instead of a raid.

I done a good number of ST run, and yes, "A" gets frozen the most.
Once it also happened all party were frozen and NO fireballs around.
And yes, parties are concerned only on their own and don't see what happens around them. When both healers down on a party nobody cares them because the "omg noobs" attitude too much people have nowadays.

Alliance A definitely gets frozen the most. I myself have been froze the moment the ice balls come out, and soon as someone brings a fireball to thaw me out, I'm frozen again 2 seconds later. Then all the AoE markers find a way to hit you while froze. Double tapping, triple tapping if you factor Unholy.

I was in Alliance A yesterday and 6 out of the 8 of us got frozen. So yeah, I'm definitely inclined to believe it happens more to Alliance A because I've never had that happen when I was in B or C.

I can also attest to this that some runs seem to be "buggy" in a sense that A will get the Ice orbs a lot more than the other 2 parties.
From my many runs of ST, I have only seen 2 scenarios

1. Each party receives an equal number of ice
2. Party A receives all the of the ice and party B and C split the fire

I have never seen B or C get as many ice orbs as A does when those odd occasions crop up. There's definitely something buggy in the code that spawns this odd behavior certain runs.

When I was in Alliance A, the party condition become really... bad. Me as healer(SCH) and other healer(WHM) in Alliance A frequently frozen and only depend on fairy to heal one party...

Well, after the maintenance I went 2x in Sycrus Tower. First time, alliance C, I don't get frozen. Second time, alliance A, 3 frozen lol
