Is syndicate grossly overtuned?

Did something changed about the Fortress encounter recently?
Previously if the door fall, no more adds will get summoned.
Now they constant summon until syndicate members are dead?

I'm pretty sure adds have always spawned until syndicate members die regardless of if the door is opened or not

This would be better if the interception branch did not agressively try to murder you.

It's intervention, not interception. And if you've ever experienced an intervention, they're all about murder. Usually you want to murder the people staging it, but they're also trying to murder something in you. Aggressively.

Interception, on the other hand, is pretty much what we do with the Transportation division. I wonder if at some point in testing if it weren't actually called 'Interception' and, in a strange fit of Actually Giving A Fuck About English, TencentGGG were like 'nah, bru, they sound too alike. Bitter not.' (Chinese-owned company, sure, but they'll always sound like that to me. Because I'm exactly as Australian as they think I am.)

Now you have me wondering what passively trying to murder someone is like. I suspect there's an argument that TencentGGG do just that when they encourage people to play PoE for days on end...Teeheehee.

Seriously, though: Intervention's a fucking bitch and Tora is queen fucking bitch but hey, you can't win them all. And if you can, well, that's what hardcore is for. And if you expect to but can't, maybe temper your expectations. Something GGG have been telling their players to do for years, while at the same time letting player powercreep take over. Mixed fucking signals much?

Holy Jesus this post was all over the shop. Sorry mate.
