That initial landing at Magwytch has been seriously watered down.
The original landing, with it's horde of standard bound, 2-3 of the flamethrower guys (can't remember the official name atm) and 2 of the Brutes used to be a memorable and notable moment during progression, one of the few points that really put the fear of the bound into you. It had impact, really highlighted the escalating danger as you moved through the realms. A real pucker up and panic moment.
I just had a new character get there for the first time, and was really looking forward to it.
The realm loads, I land on the pad and.. nothing happened. No howling bound, no panicked glimpse of lumbering brutes below. Nothing of note at all.
I casually wander over to one of the two control points and stand there, figuring that should trigger something. About the time I complete taking control of that point 4 standard bound round the corner and were swatted down in about 3 seconds (on Balanced difficulty) and then.. nothing else.
Stroll over to the other control point without any conflict along the way, no bound in sight. Take the second control point and that stirred up a nest of a whopping 2 more standard bound and one flamethrower guy.
So I start to wander if maybe they had a pathfinding failure and were hung up somewhere, spent a couple minutes combing through and around the area and found no other bound.
TLDR: The current Magwytch landing event is a hint of an echo of a whisper of what it used to be, please restore it to it's former terrifying glory.
