I launched a HAAT raid, set the join period to 16 hours, hit confirm, but it still let me enter the raid and log damage. According to this, that shouldn't have happened right?Tagging Raid/No Damage Period: Officers can specify a period of time (1 to 24 hours) that players can tag the Raid but are not allowed to do damage. Tagging is done by tapping a “Join” button which will auto post 0 damage and qualify the player for rewards.

You must set the join period BEFORE launching the raid. If you launched first then set the join period it will take effect NEXT raid

Worked for me. Did you make sure to confirm your changes, or did you hit the red X to close the window after you made your changes?

My guild set it to 24 hours. The battle button is grayed out with a countdown timer showing how long until we can damage. So I can't even enter the battle.

If you join, does it log 0 damage?

Then one would get the rewards, and not actually have to enter the battle?

That's the idea. Pressing the join button = posting a zero = getting raid rewards. It's handy for us because Rancor takes 10 minutes, and hAAT barely takes a couple of hours, and no one can make every raid.

Looking forward to people no longer being able to say "oops, I hit the wrong button and accidentally did X amount of damage". Good for peace keeping.

I kinda hope so. I will find out soon enough. My guild is scheduled for Hpit within 24 hours or less.

The only thing to watch out for is that if you're starting a raid manually (maybe you want to do a 3:00pm start instead of a 6:00pm start to help out folks on the other side of the world, for example) the 24 hour damage period will start as soon as you hit the start button. This means if it's 4:41 when you start, damage will start at the really weirdly-timed 4:41 tomorrow.

If you really want to do a different start time, then be sure to change the automatic start time to your new start time and wait for it to launch on its own. Much simpler and cleaner.

Have you guys had any issues with the timer , we had our heroic tank set to go for a join period to for a 24 hour period . It was set to open at 8pm est. tonight instead it opened at 1125pm est. Granted we opened the raid 1125pm est shouldn’t it still open at 8pm est ? Like it has In the past.
