Many players have approved of the new plot of this update. They think that the story of 7.2 has made significant progress compared to the previous story. Calyx tried to sneak attack Warrior of Light with lightning instead of confronting the players head-on, which shows that he is a smart and excellent villain. At least he really does something that a villain should do.
