Letting us watch the next stage from a Clockworks Terminal or a Sub-Town, but keep the order of the next floors' stages random; giving us a choice between an open world stage, a linear one, and a beat-em-up one for every floor; an open world stage with many mini-quests and few enemies...
See? Now you're doing it right OOO!

Now if only you could nerf the amount of "elite" monsters that appear at once in Arenas, and add some other Clockworks kinks, like choosing between going through boss stages or continuing on regular clockworks from a Terminal only, and you have a solid, fun PvE experience.

No monster is too powerful at the moment. If you think they are, you're not fit to play on elite. JS

They are called elite monster

They are called elite monster for something, unless you don't go to Arenas or Compound levels, you are safe...

if you cant handle the monsters in arena in elite mode... you are too newbie for it. Stay away from arenas son...
until you get the right skills to handle the monsters there. arenas dont need their elites monsters reduced. thats what make arena fun.

Well excuse me for not being

Well excuse me for not being a swordsman or bomber who have an easier time with greavers and mecha knights.

If "Elite" monsters, as OOO says, are only "[named as such] in order to avoid spawning many at once", then why Arena does the contrary?
I'm not saying to nerf the elite mobs, because they're meant to be elite and therefore mildly hard to beat, but if you're going by the logic of "Elite mobs are tough but aren't spawned a lot at once", then go by it entirely.

And I love how there are 5 people in this thread who've only read 10% of the actual topic.

@OP

You don't have to do the final arena of an arena. It is an optional for a reason.

Greavers are not a problem if

Greavers are not a problem if you have Barriers item or the Barrier Drakon ability + Barbarous Thorn Blade/Final Flourish in Arenas. Trust me, i have survived some times in the final arena with this 'tactic' surrounded of eight Greavers without use the auto-rev. An experienced knight can handle that situation.

FYI greavers also appear on

FYI greavers also appear on the first part of an arena stage, usually 3/4 accompanied by 2 silkwings. So no, it's not just on the final part of an arena.

Anyway I like the new general design that this new mission offers, and I'd like it to be put in the Arcade as to give it a new breath of sorts.

@Brownie

3-4 greavers is not a swarm. If you can't handle 3-4 elite enemies, go down a difficulty.

Oh I can handle 4 of them

Oh I can handle 4 of them alright, it's just I have to do these complex acrobatics I don't usually do every time they approach me while trying to shoot down the silkwings.

Inb4 this topic turns into "How to deal with Greavers" #35

if you are only playing using guns then you are just restricting yourself. This is likely one of the issues that is causing problems for you.

I like how people brag about how "4 greavers are easy" and totally ignore the fact that the arenas spawn up to 12 IN A SINGLE WAVE.

Which brings me to "Elite mobs are tough but aren't spawned a lot at once"

Very funny, OOO.

Oh hey, it's THIS thread again.

Grievers aren't easy, and they aren't hard. If you can't deal with them on elite difficulty, then don't play fiend/undead arenas on elite difficulty without a competent team.

I like the challenge they offer. I would much rather have them swarm me in groups of 12 in the last part of the optional arenas than having them replace Gorgos everywhere and constantly swarming me like they did before they became classified as elite monsters.
