This is one of those things I thought was hilarious about half the time and the other half it made me want to scream. Mixed feelings.

The enormous reaper spawns were fun. Why must any mechanic that could possibly result in danger for players, or that requires even the tiniest whisper of consideration or strategy to deal with, be removed?
I see also that helmed horrors will be merely immune to force instead of healing from it. Whew! We can't have a mechanic that punishes blind spamming now can we! What a relief!

Again you are missing the point of the classic SSG smoke and mirrors in this situation, there was a benefit to players that has been removed, some players used the slime splitting as a perfect resources for farming mysterious remnants rapidly.
Typical SSG making any and all farming/grinding as sloggy as possible. When will folks realize that changes like the ones that are out of the blue and dont seem to have a point certainly have a hidden bonus that players were using and SSG wants to slow then down.

Heh. Wizard of Wines specifically comes to mind.
Probably would be less fun if I didn’t have as good AOE. Never even occurred to me to farm slimes for remnants(?), btw.
Reaperbombs is a great term. This was fun but I understand why it’s gone. I think this patch note is giving a spotlight to a phenomenon I’ve never seen brought up here before. Will people really be bothered by this change…?

No in fact they were actually weaker version of the original and you could pound out serious remnants thru them, but seeing as they are working towards eating up the remnants economy this change does not surprise me in the least.

I just ran that one with my brother and I couldn't help but single-pop the slimes enough to pull dungeon alerts. There was definitely a bit of pucker factor with it. I hate to say it, but I kinda enjoyed getting cussed out by him.
Suffice it to say, we didn't die and got a generous amount of remnants. We only had three reapers appear which was a little disappointing.

Try being an Arcane Trickster who gets stuck in the timeout zone in Relentless by yourself and tell me how much fun it was.

I can't tell if some of you are being sarcastic. This is fantastic news in my opinion. It was the highlight of the update.
