mod orion has a prompt at twitter thats kinda a poll about which, if any, bosses should have enrage mechanics added, and I tried many times to reply in an 80 character limit, but the best response to that is too complicated, and I can't do it.

yeah you can add enrage mechanics to all or none* of the bosses, but the most important thing missing is that y'all seriously need to cap the number of enrage pushing wins above a certain percent gain per day.

so arch glacor 0% enrage is probably an average of 4 minutes to fight. there is no reason to cap the number of wins for a fight that short. plenty of breaks are possible even when on aura burning hours.

by about 500% enrage where the first title for iceborn unlocks you do need to cap how many times a day those fights can be won/looted a little bit like two day lockouts for raids. the 3600 enrage is a 23 minute fight for the speediest paid gamer right now.

so if any other boss wins a poll to have enrage mechanics added, fine, but do that with some regard for the health and well being of the highly visible paid gamers who to my skimming survey... theyre getting sick. man. I mean not just the 5 o clock shadow stubble, the bags under eyes, but most emphatically the congestion I can hear in their voices. Thats fatigue. Theyre pushing way too hard, and if one of them drops dead... thats really bad for the game.

*more on "none." thats my personal vote. That seems harsh, but its not meant to be, and I'll elaborate following this.

I vote none, but that doesnt mean dont do it, but moreso dont make me do it (with cape held hostage etc). I have paid so many dues. Man. Pre eoc hour for jad. Organizing groups to raid, and I mean like... play 20 minutes, but I spend 2 hrs scheduling, inviting, replacing, managing... ugh. I did that for 2 years, and I had to skip dinner with my family every other night. It was okay cause my kids were younger and didnt mind going to see grandma with my wife, but now theyre all older... grandma cant make dinner every other night, and my kids/wife would really start to resent my absence.

I really like being able to teleport out of kpac if they need me. In fact if I was to simplify my vote to like... enrage all but ___ it'd be kerapac. Add enrage to Vorago or Graardor if you want, but not the newest gwd3 stuff that I really want to keep doing as it is.

Please dont do enrage for Bik and Ful. Please do the extra action button like Time Warp. I love time warp. Thats the coolest thing. I dont like arch-glacor at all, in any way. The best thing about it is that I got 500 enrage done in one free death week, and I dont ever want to go back. It hurts my eyes on 4k, and it has no special action button.

oh! I should add that my daughter likes the arch-glacor. She can do the normal fight with all the mages helping. Thats good. I do like that. She can do it without me if thats her reaper task. She has a 4k laptop screen (asus flip s), but its smaller, and the harsh white doesnt kill her eyes. My 4k SDR monitor is ginormous, and I need low contrast like barrows if I am gonna play for more than 15 minutes. I can't imagine how intense it might be in 4k HDR on our shared monitor (our common room has 2 laptops and 2 NUC running 24-7 and no TV).

I did my free death week with glacor skyboxed nightstone, but realized after the fact that my heads up menus are kinda frontlit with daylight, and it was a lot of contrast anyway that did fatigue my eyes despite my cursory efforts to lower contrast... I saw on reddit some dude had got into the RGB tab to play with skybox and make all the colors warmer... and I regret not trying that myself.
