I've been honestly kind of lamenting the state of current content difficulty lately, where my options are either content that's easy enough to probably clear in one pull first try (and fairly boring on reclears), or content that's hard enough to probably require multiple lockouts in party finder. There's really not been much for in-between content, something that you can realistically clear in one lockout but will actually take a chunk of that time.
The 3rd of the new Arcadion raids released this patch honestly scratched that itch like nothing else has in this game for me. It took my group more than half of the lockout! And not because of like, one or two people who just couldn't stay alive, but because our whole group was figuring out the fight and actually had to learn and improve over the course of it. I got to have an incredibly satisfying experience in beating something challenging (for me, at least) without having to spend hours in party finder.
My only real complaint is that the look-away mechanic was a bit confusing at first, because it looks like a normal look-away mechanic, and it's easy to accidentally solve that way, so it wasn't the most intuitive to figure out.
But otherwise I loved it! I'm super excited to come back next week and try to do better at it. The Arcadion fights have all been great, but this one is my favorite by a big margin. I really hope we see more like this going forward! Thank you for making this!
