1 ultimate instead of 2 ?

[CKNovel]

No.

Delubrum savage was way too long and every night was 2-3 pulls. I hated this.
15 minutes is long and it's a good thing the last part is often a road to victory.

When progging, if you're at the end of prog, on a raid night of 3 hours, you get 12 pulls minimum.
If your abomination of 30 minutes ultimate would happen, that would be 6 pulls.

Thats the point

Its supposed to get harder, become more prestigious

Except making it longer achieves neither. Tacking on twelve more minutes to UCoB doesn't make it any more prestigious nor would it be necessarily any harder in terms of actual challenging mechanics. It's simply be mentally exhausting. Content still has to be fun and engaging even if it's difficult. There comes a point of diminishing returns where something takes so long it just isn't fun any longer. You also run into creative limitations. There is only so much the devs can come up with when designing a fight, especially one of this magnitude. Eventually, they'll just be throwing the same series of mechanics at players to pad out the length because they've simply run out of ideas.

I much prefer having UCoB and UwU, two very distinct and different fights in theme, concept and execution, then for UCoB to be a 30 minute slog I'm too exhausted to even enjoy by the time I clear it.

It will be way harder, and less clears, so it will be more prestigious to have achieve a 24mn-27mn lenght ultimate fight

Time doesn't make the fight hard, though. That's what the mechanics are made for.
Making the fight last 30 minutes forces everyone to make sure they will not be interrupted by IRL stuff (such as suddenly needing to go to the bathroom, or your child needs you for something while you're 24 minutes into the fight, etc). All Ultimate needs is difficult/tricky mechanics.

Theres nothing prestigious about increasing the fights duration, people will continue buying their clears as they do now anyway.
They COULD add some more complexity in ultimates i guess? but length? nawh.

I assure you that the clear rate will significantly drop

less clear = more prestige

[hfang]

less clear = more prestige

no one gives a shit. UCoB has the least clears out of the three ultimates and that doesn't mean that it's the most prestigious, just means that people won't go through the trouble of clearing the fight because it's A) too long and B) the mechanics can get annoying. I can say this because UCoB is the only ultimate i have cleared, myself, and I see that you're a triple legend.

You shouldn't be doing ultimates for e-peen points or for "prestige". You should be doing ultimates to challenge yourself.

Making it longer doesn't makes it harder. (Don't take this out of the context)
It just makes it less accessible. Delubrum Savage is hardly accessible because people don't have that much time and can't find the required amount of players.

People already use Pandemonium Warden and Absolute Virtue as example.
I'm going to use Palace of the Dead solo as an example.

It's eight hours long of boredom, it's not hard to get the Necromancer title.
It's just that no one wants to spend 7h in there, then waste it all because of a dumb mistake, disconnection or lack of luck.
And if you make the mistake you need to redo all the previous boring hours.
