Desdomona and cut scenes
i like the underground trial in every aspect except for stupid desdemona, being forced to drag around an NPC thats not even that strong for 1.5-2 hours is very frustrating

I was on that league, and was the one who noticed that Desdemona's health was suddenly dropping like a rock. It was somewhat of a letdown to have the trial fail that quickly after we had been doing so well up to that point (all of the other objectives for a Mo run had been met up to that point).

or just phase everybody during the cutscene... or TP all the league in the same location during the cutscene... or a vote system to skip the cutscene... there are so many possibilities...
but they are thinking about the next currency to introduce for the new incarnate slots, that will make our stock useless, so no time to fix that... so hard to put everybody in phased state at the begining of a cutscene...
While leading another MoUGT tonight on Liberty, after succeeding everywhere except against the avatar, I've got to ask you devs to please disable the cutscenes if des is in a state of aggro.
Prior to entering the final room, I was explaining the perils of the Will of the Earth, when a league member mentions that des is dying - her hp was at about 87.
Then, the cut scene begins.
When the scene ended, it was at 25, and with superspeed, by the time I got to her (I'm just a blaster) all I could do was spam a clarion and the trial failed. We never even got so much as scratch on us.
Apparently, a stray critter - I've no idea where it came from, but des ran into the room after it - by the time anyone even knew it ( good players focusing on what the leader is putting out on the request channel) the cut scene comes on.
Isn't it time to put a stop to these silly cartoons? Can't there be some code written for the cartoon not to play at that stage - but earlier - say after the last bomb is detonated? or when we enter the gate that leads downstairs to the hallway that preceeds the big finale?
This was really unfortunate. People were still off from the holiday, likely the last chance these good people had to run it, and it was ruined because Des is too prone to aggro.
My first failure in about a month, since I started running these - and the bonehead player was Desdemona - I can't even 1 star her.
True, this is likely an anomaly, but an earlier cutscene would prevent it.
