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.

I'm excited to see C3P0 on a speeder bike...I'm assuming you can't have both raids active.

The implication would be that new raids would replace the old one. That being said, Krayt will probably be cycled back at some point in the future, so those teams would be useful again.

That's just inaccurate, but it depends somewhat on what teams you built up. Lots of great units, Jabba, pilots, etc. that are very useful in other areas of the game.Also, if you went for Jabba, you should be on your way to having JKL unlocked (or have him unlocked) which puts several of the new raid toons at a very good level for the upcoming Endor raid.If you solely focused on Tuskens, or like Carth OR, that would be not so great an investment..but Mandalorians? The GOOD Old Republic toons? Hutt Cartel/Jabba? Lots to love there that's great in GAC, TW, Conquest, TB, segues nicely to Executor, etc. Investing in good units is rarely a waste. Unless you only care about raid performance, I guess."Zaraos;c-2429768" wrote:So assuming the special raid currency refers to the MK3 tokens, which can only be earned from Krayt. That would basically mean MK3 will be removed from Krayt once the new raid launches. Which means anyone who has taken the time to build teams has completely wasted their time.

Ideally they rotate every 3 days or so. Then revamp the old raids into the new rewards system.

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.

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

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

absolutely not!

my guild is the exact correct amount of bad

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?

I agree with your point, but it's worth noting they changed the reward structure after that post, because they shifted to all raid currency, instead of just one special raid currency.

True. I’d be surprised if they back-track on mk3 being linked to the newest raid though, as always forcing players to chase the faction for the newest raid can only boost their bottom line.

Again, you fail to realise that the top 40 guild you are in is very different from most other guilds.
To get near the 256m box you need a fair bit of focus from all members.
On average all members in my guild is short 1 GL + some other toys.
Pursuing those permanent gains which benefit personal crystal income and support TB/TW efforts permanently has a better overall ROI compared to temporary raid benefits.

Those of us who could easily push above 5.4 are better off pursuing ops toons for an extra ROTE star, which will bring us more permanent gains as a guild.

We could probably push 190m right now but not super comfortably and the gap to next box is way to big to be bridged economically for short lived gain.

Your main gains are Krayt not RotE. Yes your guild mates should focus on guild things. With 490m you guys have zero reason to not get the 256m crate except for low effort. It seems low effort guilds like to complain about low rewards when it is their own fault.

You saying your guild mates don’t have JTH, Maul and OR? How can you guys be 490?

LordDirt labours under the misapprehension that guilds can just flick a switch and earn the 265m reward crate.

He’s in a top 40 guild (by Krayt Raid scoring), which is commendable, but he can’t shake the view that any guild in or around their GP that isn’t earning 265m must be a shower of poorly-led button mashers.

I’m genuinely impressed by LordDirt’s guild’s dedication to the Krayt Raid, but I still can’t get my head around how he can’t see that for most guilds the outlay required to reach the 265m reward will take months to earn any benefit at all for the guild so just is not worth it.

I understand most can’t but 490m should be close like I said. I don’t understand how you missed that.

Should have just left this in bed.

I didn’t miss it.

There are now 39 guilds who have earned the 265m crate.

There are well over 200 guilds who have earned the 130m crate (I’ve no idea how many more, but I know that the 200th guild has scored 139m points).

I’d love to know why you think a guild at 490m “should be close”. Why?

I guess they got their millions relicing non meta characters.

Ah yes - I forgot - all guilds not achieving what a guild with 46 r8 Jabbas have are terrible and poorly led.

They would get more R8 material getting better rewards in the Krayt raid. ;)

So to speed up the process of getting 46 r8 Jabba, a guild should earn the rewards that you need 46 r8 Jabba to earn.

You should be in sales.

Eh, I’ll just let everyone complain about bad rewards for not trying .
