"Attack of the Frost Giants!"
Seriously, are the devs just pulling a big joke on us that we are simply not getting?
I mean, we have all of this new Nordic-themed content. At the forefront, we have Odin as the first Clan Raid Boss - a powerful adversary who thwarts the ill-prepared with his mighty Freeze ability. Now I am not just talking about the individual battles, I am also referring to the persistent lock-out that many players have been experiencing as of late.
In this sense, Odin quite literally freezes you out of being able to even attack him.
I already have clan members who are Iced-out of the Raid Boss battles. After only a day's worth of attacks, Odin has hurled them into a frozen wasteland (not the Frontier Dungeon, but a cold place where they cannot contribute or earn a damn thing) and they can only await until some "divine intervention" frees them from their glacial prisons. Not cool, bro...
So, is this merely the set-up for some very elaborate punchline? A twisted prelude to a character rollout for Ymir?
I know there are a lot of players feeling the chill of this unfortunate setback, and it really is no laughing matter (despite the humorous angles I am playing here). It is actually quite discouraging, and a real kick in the nads for morale. All I can do is try to laugh about it on some level, because we all know that shaking your fist and yelling at the screen accomplishes nothing...
Bonus: Alternate titles considered for this thread.
