Hi - I was hoping we could get a precise time for the raid blackout from someone in the know. We know it is the 27th, but not what time on the 27th, and that’s important to help us use all our tickets without going over and losing the raids!Current guesses are midnight PST11:00 AM (ish) PST with an update3:00 PM (ish) with an updateSomething else? But no one knows for sure. So if we could get an official word, it would be lovely! Thanks!

There won't be a compensation, you will get full raid tickets (something you would get anyway during a week) and that's it.

ok. so we lose a week of raid rewards. In addition judging by the lack of them telling us what the new rewards will be, I suspect the rewards for the new raid won't add up to all the rewards we would have gotten with the old raids combined in a week. I want to be proven wrong, but the track record for CG isn't good at all when it comes to this sort of stuff.

Right now, my answer is none as I have more than I can currently use. Seems you are in a different boat...You get zero from raids now, so one would be an improvement. . But, if the TB impulse detector discussion is any indication, most that want them won't be happy with anything less than a boatload...Meanwhile, folks that don't need them will be outraged if they replace even the slightest amount of GET with them....Either way, I guarantee the forums will be flooded with folks complaining that the rewards don't suit exactly what they want. Absolutely the forum will be flooded with complaints. It’s going to happen whenever they release the information. I don’t dispute that. I just have hard time understanding why they consistently give as little information as possible and allow rampant speculation to take place. I highly doubt the reward structure isn’t finalized and if it isn’t well it should be. The forums will need to burn themselves out might as well have released the info and let the burning start.

when you least expect it because CG isn't even sure when.

Han sure did take being a wall display personally, I can’t blame him for that response on Jabba’s pet.

I'm just looking for any information that @CG_Tusken_Meathead can give us on what rewards we'll get during the week when the raids are shut down.

I "think" i remember this being mentioned way back when, but not entirely sure. But it seems fair enough for them to compensate the players for the weeks worth of raid rewards we will be missing.
