Does Nexon even realise That they've completely ruined all interest in root abyss by removing the portal? It's now become yet another niche boss area for high level solos and "for the lulz" guild runs. That's not inherently a bad thing, but considering the fact that these were arguably the most interesting bosses (in terms of gameplay mechanisms), it's a real shame to see them going to waste. I'm currently at ch1 root abyss (in Scania no less) and there's one guy here who's afk, when just yesterday we'd see droves of people looking for groups. I usually wouldn't care about this, but it's the fact that these bosses are actually difficult and not just high health high damage pseudo-difficult bosses.
A question about the new Cpq Would I be correct in postulating that the revamped CPQ works such that when one summons a monster, it is summoned for THAT peron's team? If so I find that both fun and slightly annoying, given that I've refrained from summoning any monsters because of the belief that they'd be summoned for the enemy team, as per the previous CPQ paradigm.
