Lost Vale last boss is really badly designed

[Nevermore2000]

So we tried this dungeon and failed on last boss. Not because we are all noobs but because this fight is just terribly designed. There is too much trash on the ground with all those carpets. The white floor is way too bright. You hardly see the ground effects where you are not supposed to stand on top of. They also are similar to the Zealot rituals. People often did not even realize they are standing in a "puddle" which was no puddle at all. There are other boss fights where you clearly see ground effects.

Then those tablets to stop channelling - no clue when she is actually channelling. I have never seen any indicator in chat that we knew what she is actually doing. Then there are supposed to be colored balls with buffs - after half a dozen of tries I have not sees them at all although someone called them out. Maybe I am blind, but maybe it is just because, as said above, the whole fight is visually a mess. Way too much crap on the screen and everything too colorful and too bright. I could not see anything that matters for this fight on the screen. Really terrible.

Jus remove all the carpet crap on the floor, change the ground effect to something people actually can see and add chat and on screen messages so people know what is actually going on. After all those tries, reading guides in parallel, reading what ppl in chat say how the mechanics work, I still could not follow them because half the stuff I could not even see on the screen.

Sooo maybe you were sleepy idk, but she starts channeling when u bring her hp low enough, she kneels and everyone is being life drained by a purple beam. That's when.

The floating orbs are quite visible

The only criticism here I factually endorse is make the borders of the walls a bit less lined with weirdness, and also the idea of the aether pillar that u need to click just having a flat percentage chance to kill someone is terrible design because it's unavoidable and just depends on luck (if it even does that, someone said so)

I edited the last boss' name out of the thread just to avoid any spoilers for newer players.

Are you using reshade or any mods that adjust your graphics, by chance? We found that some people using graphics mods were seeing the beach become much brighter than normal during testing, but we hadn't seen this on the last boss.

The final boss is, by far, the most challenging 6-man fight in the game right now. It's going to take strong teamwork, fast reactions, and lots of persistence to learn and layer the mechanics before you conquer it. This is by design.

The Aethyr Conduit does not have a random chance to kill anyone, don't worry. If you hover over the final boss' buffs while the Conduit is fully activated, you should be able to understand clearly what it does. (Doing its mechanic will remove the buff on the final boss and restart the stacks.)
