    We're seeing some problems with Xi Xia Xius inthe Aurelian Coast: The Emergent Eclipse [Raid]

    (1) The emote "warning" of the impending dark vortex comes AFTER the vortex has already killed a swathe of people. Shouldn't that emote happen BEFORE the sucking vortex business?

    (1579656274)[Tue Jan 21 19:24:34 2020] \#FF6600The air around you turns thick and the skies dark, as a vortex appears nearby... Beware not to be sucked into it or you may not surivive!

    (2) Typo: "Beware not to be sucked into it or you may not surivive!" s/b "survive".

    (3) Even those people who correctly ran away from the vortex were being killed way on the other side of the circular area where Xi Xia Xius stands, but were still given the same message, "\#FF0000Xi Xia Xius has pulled {PLAYER} into the very center of the dark vortex, killing them instantly". It was killing people who successfully jousted away from where the visible vortex was located, which seems incorrect.

    while everything you said i agree with - in summary the messaging on this fight and visuals on tornado danger zone need some serious TLC - the timing of tornadoes is % based, so u can be prepared for it. and jousting is just way way longer distance than we're normally used to

    to be clear - this is perfectly fine imo, throwing a change-up from what we're used to is great, and it's definitely very possible to do this fight flawless. it's just for such a drastic deviation from the norm, there need to be some clues alerting us to the need of joust way longer than the tornado graphic would leave you to believe
