SWORD is very cool sure, turning it into a z-level boss for drops always makes me lairy but if it's truly mean enough that it's hard for a single nerd to do it then maybe that'll work. I just really don't want "another thing that one person does by themselves and eventually has to be spoken to by admins because they can't help themselves" syndrome to happen.
But like I said, the SWORD is kind of brutal, it has been very fun to fight (and die horribly to) every time I've seen it, and it's just a very spicy sprite so theoretically I guess it might be scary enough that it'd require at least a few people to do it, I just want it to be a collaborative experience rather than satisfying a pretty non-contributive margin of the player population. In fact it might work out well for that if you changed it up so that you require some debris-loot to summon/deal with it (thus sort of turning the debris field into more of a direct purpose an experience) That's more work though.
I am always also a bit nervous of "Make it so it's doable sooner" because of the reasons above: I'm not neccessarily saying don't, but the more possible you make something for one person to quickly cheese the certainty of it basically being ruined by this increases in my personal experience, and the more work the poor soul who worked on it has to do to make it work.
All of this in summary is: Yes I agree SWORD very cool I like the idea. Just please, make it a thing at least a few crew need to team up to summon/deal with.
