You can definitely read it like she's anxious about her dirty laundry being aired. But my instinct is she's just scared that Kurapika's scheme is gonna get them all killed. Maybe what he's planning is even more dangerous than I guessed at!

The former allow you to misposition such that death is coming but you can't escape it anymore. I think that helpless little lag time between the mistake and the death is what people resent, which is why iframe rolls/dashes are so popular (you're never helpless, but also positioning now matters less)

It's completely normal to keep your distance from a boss while learning how it moves and then gradually play closer as you figure it out. Without contact damage, there's no satisfaction in managing to get right in the boss's face once you've mastered it. You're just waiting on a telegraph wherever.

it's good. great approach to difficulty settings too (without compromising the score-player experience at all)

I think they're aware that the show could be more focused, but a more-focused version of the show would end after two seasons. They're already working on s3 and they knew they would be. People are mostly fine with getting "more of the show they like" so TV gets stretched for more content hours.
