Question about Rancor SimmingCurrently, my guild finished heroic Rancor in about 10 minutes. If you don’t start your run within that 10 minutes, you don’t log any damage. We have a 24 hour join window so people can still get rewards. Pretty much status quo for higher-end guilds.With simming, how will the payout work? Will we have 24 hours to sim and then get the reward? Or will the raid end and start the hour to payout right after the first sim? I really hope they think about it and don’t give everybody 1-3 seconds to sim the raid.

I was assuming that a guild officer would select “Sim Raid,” and then presto, rewards in every member’s inbox. There’s no reason it needs to be any more complicated than that, right? But then I remembered it’s CG we’re talking about, so...

But if it is, cue the complaints of “why does everybody get the same rewards.” If they do that, how would the reward structure work? Would everybody get first rank rewards? Or would it be randomized like the people that post 0 damage? I think everybody should get rank 1 rewards to make it fair, especially if it’s simmable.

I would consider the chances of everybody getting rank 1 rewards extraordinarily low.

In my guild we run themed pit raids. Sometimes focusing on specific teams we want to boost (ie imp troopers) otherwise fun stuff like blasters only, no hair, died in OT.We sometimes also field our five weakest toons followed by the next five and so on until it’s down.The few individuals who don’t have 7* han can ignore the themeAs the rewards are basically pants it can be a fun way to keep engaging with pit

I think reasonable rewards is anywhere from rank 10-20. Preferably 10-15 range. Anything less would be disappointing and could consider just ignoring the feature.

I guess that means the mythic/arcade/superhard Rancor raid isn't happening, then...just as well. We are busy enough with the other raids now.

Everyone gets minimum rewards... something like 6 han shards category.

I think the data mined arcade was grand arena. I want first place rewards for everyone as there will be a sim expense involved.

Yeah, they said that, and it’s kinda confusing. Not sure whether they meant the officers can decide whether or not to sim it for everybody, or that every player gets to decide whether to play it or sim it themselves. Why can’t they just write clear posts?

That is something that needs no clarification from them. The Pit rewards all run when the raid is finished so you couldn't have people just individually simming the Raid whenever they want and others running it. The guild officers will decide if the guild is running the raid or simming it. If it's being simmed, most likely it will be a feature that is turned on by the guild and the sim will run once the 24 hour join period expires. As it stands, most established players can solo this whole raid on auto so rankings are just totally random anyway. Simming is much better than people having to try to get in there in that tiny 10 minute window before it's over. This was a Road Ahead post, not patch notes for an update. Obviously there will be more detail when the feature is being released....I don't think they need to go into some detailed explanation of how it will work in a Road Ahead post...it's not like you can do anything with it until it's ready to go in an update and it's not like people are going to plan their rosters or farming around whether the Rancor raid is going to be able to be simmed. Patience is a virtue.
