The state of AAC Light-Heavyweight Savage is unacceptable

[Raven2014]

Undertune or not, I like the new design. Because it feels like it's designed for the shake of the entire player base rather for the shake of the WF races.

- WF raiders have very good communication and reflex skill. aka execution is the strength.
- So the only way you can force extra time for WF raiders is presenting them with a puzzle complex enough to stumble them.
- On the other hand, the average PF player's challenge lie in execution. A guide can show the solution, but won't just improve their reflex.

The problem with a puzzle approach is it's a one time/one trick pony. It may make the WF scene seems to be more competitive, but once the puzzle is figured out and filtered down in the form of guides ... most people beside the blind prog group doesn't stand to benefit from this kind of challenge. But on the other hand, take a look at M2S design:

- Mechanic seems easy, and you probably can figure it out after a few pull or watching a few voids.
- But to complete the fight, it does require a certain degree of perfection in execution, at least right now until the gears catch up.
- I like the fact most failure won't just wipe the entire party, we'll just be progressively punished.

The last point is actually huge and probably contributed greatly to why people clearing the tier faster: because we're allowed to learn better. In previous raid, almost every other mech will just instant wipe the party forcing a reset. Even after the group reached a new prog point, there is still a good chance you'll spend the rest of the night wiping to old mechanic instead of learning the new one. But here, we're allowed to pick ourselves up and continue.

I'm at M3S enrage so haven't seen M4S. But challenge or not for me isn't that much of an issue, because this is the most fun tier I've ever had in a while.
