Anyone else find this raid unfun?

Yes and no. I absolutely love that they're pulling more from KOTOR, and I'm fond of mechanics that (in theory) require you to plan and think as you play instead of just finding the one or two teams that work and then just mindlessly doing the same thing over and over. I don't even mind the lack of an escape mechanic for a raid that (again, in theory) requires use of its mechanics to fight the bosses rather than finding a cheesy strategy to beat it. But now comes the part where I have to complain, which I hate having to do since I love so much of the theme and characters associated with this raid. The bosses have so many counters to common strategies that the majority of teams are not viable. Teams that use debuffs are all but useless because of the stacking tenacity. Characters that multi-attack are more of a hindrance than a help. "Looming threat" style characters (Wampa, Farmboy Luke, characters that build up increased damage over time) don't have enough time to ramp up their damage because their teammates get in the way by causing damage that increases the speed of the bosses. Speedy characters don't matter because they just make the bosses that much faster when they attack frequently. The COLOSSAL health pools of the bosses mean you need characters that do insane damage, but most of those do so via a "gimmick" of some sort that is nullified by one of the above problems. Apparently even high level guilds are struggling with the heroic, mandating perfect coordination with 50 people that all have hefty rosters. People with less coordinated guilds and/or those where not every player is active or useful at those high levels are out of luck. I can't imagine that I'll ever unlock Traya with my current guild unless years pass and the level/gear caps increase (assuming as well that my guildmates actually stick around that long and gear up the needed characters). I don't want to leave my guild, even to get one of my favorite characters for a triumvirate team I've fantasized about for years. I like my guild. They're not the best, but I've been with them since essentially day one of guilds. Yet I don't see another option. Frankly all of this has worn me down as far as the game is concerned. I was really excited for the new raid and characters, but now that's mostly eclipsed by the demoralizing prospect that parts of the game that I was most interested in may be completely inaccessible.

I agree 100%. This raid has essentially killed medium and small guilds more than tb or tw could ever have done. The devs have made it so your guild needs to have over 100mm gp just to have a crack at heroic. Thats so wrong in so many ways. Then you nerf any and all strategy thats being crafted. I mean the st.han team actually requires so much end game materials that its not a Cheat but something that actually worked so u have to take it away. Probably bc you can get all the toons f2p.... its just sad. I loved the concept. Loved the characters. Love the kotor era. Then you essentially beat us down to the point that the raid has become unplayable and unenjoyable within 2 weeks of release. Please go back to the drawing board and fix this thing, as well as please consider your player base more in the future. Remember, we are the reason this game is successful, not the other way around. Without us, you wouldnt have jobs. Otherwise you may wake up one day and realized that the beautiful thing you were a part of crafting and creating is dead and gone bc of simple greed.
