It's too lenient. The only time I even glance at my stacks is when I'm flying or gliding because if I go down up there I fall to my death. Otherwise it's just an annoying thing clogging up the screen. I think it should defeat people instead of down them.

They made another amazing mechanic, yet it doesnt do anything. It doesnt punish you at all, and people dont even care about clearing stacks anymore because there is no way you are going to get killed since you are able to self-break it.

We experimented with harsher conditions but the fact became that it was just too annoying while trying to do a collection or event or story bit. There is absolutely room for a stronger version to exist in the future. With that said, if you are flying on a Dragonscale or griffon and get turned to ice, you fall hard haha. So that is something that is a bit more punishing.
