Anyone else thinks Proto Ultima is fine?

[Zojha]

Since that trial was stand-alone it led to the problem of people no longer queuing for it as time went on. We’ve taken a lesson from that [...]

I'll let you finish Yoshi, but noone's gonna queue for Dun Scaith as time goes on either >_>

[Jim_Berry]

to be fair it is proto ultima XD

but really I got what I expected the fan fest fight in game and really didn't expect to be its own trial due to this interview.

Famitsu: At Fan Fest we enjoyed the 24-man Proto-Ultima fight. Was it created solely for the event?

Yoshida: We plan to implement it in a patch for those who were unable to attend Fan Fest. You might want to look forward to how you access the fight.

Famitsu: Will we be able to play it in-game?

Yoshida: Yes, the release schedule will be similar to the Odin trial. Since that trial was stand-alone it led to the problem of people no longer queuing for it as time went on. We’ve taken a lesson from that and we’ve put Proto-Ultima in a new place, so please look forward to where it’ll be.

Famitsu: Will it still be a 24-man fight?

Yoshida: Yes.

This answered everything! Thank you!

It's not what I was expecting but yeah, I'm not losing sleep over it.

I think my qualms with it is that Proto Ultima, while yes a weaker version of Ultima, shouldn't be as squishy, easily pushed past and forgettable. The Succubus it replaced dealt more damage, had more HP and was overall more enjoyable [And that's saying something, I didn't want to fight Halicarnassus again >_>]. It's also extremely out of place in Dun Scaith, a predominantly Void-themed area, and the justification they /attempt/ to do was half a sentence. The whole thing was half-assed and felt clunky, pretty sure just as a means of giving players another way to get geared, sure, but is this the best they could do?

When the Little Ladies' Day event had more substance and the Succubus was a better overall mini-boss, I don't think people are wrong to complain. I won't lose sleep over it but I will say I'd rather they not bother at all if this is what the end result ends up being. Or at least be honest about it. They kept the whole thing a mystery and implied it would be more than what it was. That's why everyone was riled up.

I'm fine with it tbh and I'm not even bothered. I would of liked it to be the last boss in Stance.

But we can't have everything can we?

So who doesn't like it they need to get over it.

Proto Ultima is poorly implemented since they just lazily plopped it there. For such an intimidating enemy and franchise known superboss it was given no buildup and dies in less then a minute despite AoE bullet hell. An amusing distraction if anything.

[Ageofwar]

it kinda would have been better if the fight started off with the succubus and Proto Ultima dropped in on the fight like Brayflox's Longstop

[RosaLunaCelestia]

Im fine with it but it surprised me when i saw it for the 1st time xD i thought we will fight him as extra boss but no xD

[ChocoFeru]

Quite spoilerish but... I think we haven't seen his final form yet.

In 3.55b we'll get Diadem, and we know what kind of special weather Diadem had sometimes.
