Is this official information from the Devs, or just your personal opinion? This isn't intended to be snarky, I was just wondering if you have inside info as a moderator.

It was the way I read the original post about it, but based on what people are saying, it's possible that was just an assumption I was reading into the text. It could be they leave Krayt as a legacy raid, I guess, with the mark III moved to Endor raid...but to me that also seems weird because if we add a new one every 8 months, the raid list would just get really long. I also can't see them spending development time on something that will never see the light of day again after a few months. We've seen datacron abilities recycle...I guess I always just assumed the new raids would too.

Krayt hardly feels like a Legacy anything. I'm really hoping they let you alternate between the two, otherwise this new Raid setup is dumb AF.

You can do whatever raid you want, just like today. But Mk3 tokens will only be in the Featured Raid. Currently that raid is Krayt, but once the bike one comes out that will be the Featured Raid.

I get that. But the fast turnaround and need for leveling up specific squads for each is tiresome, especially if they crap these raids out every 3-4 months. Plus as I said, calling Krayt a "Legacy" raid seems IMO dumb since it's so new, whereas the old ones do feel like Legacy raids. Amnd is it definitive the MK3 is being removed from Krayt or is that still speculation based on the Feb post being kinda vague?

Not sure why you're stuck on the "Legacy Raid" thing. No one has said that Krayt will be a Legacy Raid, whatever that means, just that the new bike raid will be the Featured Raid.

That's where I read it and rolled with it. yes it "could" be and it might not be. But that's why I was saying it was stupid if it was.

With the raid changes that were made putting the old raids as legacy we are only now allowed 1 raid at a time. Will this continue to be the case with the new raid coming essentially replacing the Krayt Dragon or will we be able to run them simultaneously.

I'm debating if it's still worth investing in the Krayt Raid teams or should we abandon that as come fall/winter it will be a legacy raid we don't do anymore.

Assuming they didn't lie about their system, the new raid will replace the Krayt raid as the top rewards choice. You can still continue doing Krayt at worse rewards or if you can't score high in the new one, just like you can still run HST instead of Krayt nowadays.

From what I am getting from you guys is that your guild mates just do whatever they want and whatever rewards you get in any guild events you are ok with. Sorry if I am misunderstanding.

If your leadership is pushing you guys to get then next star in RotE or the next box in Krayt then that is great. If not, I dont understand.

PS, 100 million is only 2 million more per person. That should be your next goal. You run the bot on what your guild should be getting? What each person should be getting?

I can’t put this post to bed because it’s so far of the mark it’s actually funny.

My guild is around 490m.
We the officers can choose to either push every member to increase to 5.4m damage in Krayt to get the 256m box OR to “let members do whatever they want”.
Whatever our members want is to chase missing GLs, Levi reqs and stuff like Aphra, more relic levels on key squads like Reva etc.

Which do you think will overall help progress the guild faster?
It is the “whatever players want” since rounding out rosters overall brings more benefit to the guild relative to pushing meh toons for a raid that will be de-prioritised in 6 months max.

Now the point from Darjelo and others is that since this is the best path for the guild, individual members who do already have “everything” have no reason to R8 Tuskens, build the second Hutt team etc since it will not benefit themselves nor the guild sufficiently.
Thus, CG haven’t built in as much incentive as could have been expected for the individual.

Getting better crates gets you better gear so pushing the krayt raid benefits you more.

I think it comes down to investment v/s returns.

For a guild hitting 150M, they are over the 130M box but no where near the 265m box.

Prior to the loot changes to move some rewards forward there was a 170m? tier IIRC.

They removed that so now its pretty hard to justify the return on pushing for 265 if you are 100 million away when the raid is going away.

Very true, but that person's guild is at 490m so they should be close to getting the 265m crate. That gives everyone 900 more Mk3 tokens every three days. That would help their guild out greatly for the next 4-6 months.

lol my guild is 490m and we have to yell at people so we hit 130m

not all guilds are created equally

why is the assumption the krayt raid is obsolete, and not something along the lines of the raid available to launch depends on the day of the week? The idea that it is replacing krayt has shot off as a rumor or speculation and people are freaking out, but that wouldn't fix the raid burnout issue once endor drops. Releasing a raid to go alongside krayt that is available on alternate days (effectively both raids once a week) makes more sense than endor 24/7, which is what krayt is currently. heck, krayt one week, endor the next. 3v3 isn't every gac signup, and lstb wasnt either.

I don't believe that Krayt will be removed - but I 100% believe it will be superseded by the Endor raid. The problem is the (possible) removal of MK3 rewards from Krayt - making it less beneficial to do and thus, very likely ignored (obsolete) after the Endor raid is released. There's no overlap between Krayt eligible teams and Endor eligible teams - and that's why CG simply announcing the new raid makes it pointless to continue working on Krayt teams unless you're very close to the next guild reward box in Krayt.

My eyes have definitely been opened with other guilds and their approach to the Krayt raid. Want to join the one I’m in? ;)

This special Raid Currency can only be earned from the Featured Raid (the latest Raid released)

This ^^^ was in the Feb road ahead when they discussed raid rewards. Basically Mk3 will only be available from the newest raid, so once Endor drops it will no longer be a part of Krayt rewards.

From that point onwards why would anyone choose Krayt?
