Void Ark to drop Esoteric parts for upgrade why?

[Miscreant]

3.1 is also a month later than usual.

And that will have a knock on effect with 3.2 being later...

It will likely be 1 week = Coat, 2 week = Twine. If you're stuck on A3S 5 months in after legitimately trying, then... maybe having easier access to Twines outside of A3S will help your group with A3S. It is a catch-up patch after all, Thordan EX is giving out (likely) i205 weapons, so I don't see a reason for them to make it take too long to get Twines from VA.

I don't really think people are stuck on A3S because of it being gated by gear, A4S is gated by gear but A3S is more of a mechanic based fight. We had 4 deaths during last weeks clear and still beat enrage. It just takes a lot of wipes to get the mechanics right and a lot of casual/mc raid teams need a bit more time to get to grips with it. Even Ellysium has 300 odd wipes before they cleared it, it would take even more for the average raid team.
