All we wanted was court of oryx back.
[b]And Court of Blades is so needlessly "complicated" that it is guaranteed to soft lock.[/b]
All you had to do was copy & paste D1 court of oryx with a decent twist....
Literally a copy & paste of the public event on the moon/ titan/ Savathuns throne world on endless mode would've sufficed.
Having 2 boss rush modes release on top of each other was a horrible move considering guardian games was a lot better than this Court of Blades (Free vs an Activity we paid for)
Endless stream of curse thralls + seasonal challenges that require melee weapons is a surefire way to get me to love the game again.
Also "coil-level loot"?? This comes nowhere near close.
Another undelivered promise yet again
Edit: To clarify....because i forgot to.
I meant Mechanically complicated..... as in.....The activity is too fragile to keep up with what you're doing or able to do (ie; burn the bosses down as fast as possible) that more often than not the activity itself breaks.
I got soft locked 5 times last night. Lame activity, when it could've been done so much simpler.
Edit #2: Some of y'all don't do Salvation's Edge enough to know what "Mechanic Bugging out" means.
So here's a list of bugs in that raid because it is one of the more mechanically advanced raid so far & by far the most mechanically fragile (next to Garden of Salvation)
[spoiler]Encounter 2 & 3,: The box does not spawn once requirements have been met. (Soft-locking, or delayed may result in a death)
Encounter 4: Verity, when "Witness notices your efforts appears" do not deposit or it will soft-lock = Knights & ogres won't spawn just grim.
shifting between rooms, The cloth physics will bug out & black out your screen.
During the Ghost Phase the Guardians will refresh & sometimes won't show the guardian that's highlighted......Sometimes all guardians will be invisible as well.
If people are speedrunning it is possible to duplicate someone's ghost & be stuck with that ghost if you unknowingly picked their ghost up....this could result in a wipe during the ghost phase.
Encounter 5, witness: Sometimes after breaking a hand & obtaining the glyphbreaker buff one of the witnesses hands will not appear....at...all....Resulting in a potential soft-lock or failure in challenge.
Court of Blades: Kill the replicating boss too fast = soft-lock.
Kill the boss & 2nd boss immediately spawns in & disappears resulting in soft-lock.
Each boss has their own mechanic (sometimes) and bonus objective attached to the round. Too many things going on all at once in a short amount of time & the game doesn't know how to handle it.
That my friends is called a Mechanically Fragile System that is easy to break/ bug out.[/spoiler]

7 RepliesIt's not guaranteed to soft lock and the activity is only complicated if your teammates refuse to do anything other than barricade camp in miasma sludge or shoot at immune shields.
