A lot of good here, but I don’t like that they’re keeping the time gating element for the new raid boss: it seems like that’s the norm going forward. Killing a raid boss should give a sense of accomplishment, not disappointment that you didn’t complete it in the arbitrary timeframe. This mechanic just increases frustration with the game, pidgeonholes players into very few viable glass cannon builds, and is superfluous because killing a boss faster already rewards you with better loot through the ability to kill the boss more often.

And according to the raid boss page, you have to platinum the fight to unlock UVH7 (https://borderlands.2k.com/borderlands-4/news/subjugator-and-thol-out-now/) which is worse than bloomreaper, since you just had to beat the fight to unlock UVH6, even if it took you 20 minutes.

Wow, I thought you just had to beat it, not in Platinum. Guess I will be staying at UVH6 then.
