Another go. Another fail. Highly organized. All possible buffs, boons, etc. Excellent leading. People knew the mechanics. Hardly any downs during slam, etc.
2 breakbars - 1 during tail phase. Both times we broke the bar, she IMMEDIATELY swooped. No stun. No nothing. We barely got any chance to DPS her. I got bubbled and whirlpooled 4x. Yes, 4. I realize it's random but my goddess.
I'm....tired. Demoralized. Frustrated. This isn't about the turtle. Or weapon collections. Or achievements. It's about this open world meta that flies in the face of nearly every other open world meta to this point.
I can't bring myself to try this again. I just can't. And feeling that for my favorite game? Awful.
ETA: the wombfruit don’t even want to attempt this because they’re both really into the lore and personal story right now and they love tooling around on the open world maps, doing quests, exploring, and every so often, fighting this huge dragon in the middle of the open world that a random group of enough players who happen to be around at the time of spawning can down and hooray loot!
Thats what’s fun for them and, honestly after my oldest put it that way, yes please. It’s fun. It’s immersive. It keeps the imagination going.
That’s their 4¢, anyway.
