What tier or tiers did you play?
o We play 2 * T4 then 1 * T5 to farm currency only
· What GP is your Guild that is attempting the raid?
o 107 Mill – However we have a serious lack of participation
· What teams you did you attempt the raid with?
o Phase 1 - I play Magma Trooper as I don’t have Rey, I can’t be bothered to play any other teams mostly, occasionally I might hit it with another team but I need to be really bored
o Phase 2 - I play a droid team (I have always loved my droids, though I am working on GG, MagmaGuard and B2 in preparation for getting Rey as R2 & BB8 will be needed in the JTR team), however - I don’t generally put any other teams in as it goes too fast (or I miss the phase completely leaving only the magma team in P1).
o Phase 3 - I don’t usually bother
o Phase 4 – I only bother if there is a sliver of life left to help finish the damn thing
· What part of the raid motivated or demotivated you to continue trying?
o I don’t like the fact that I have been playing for two year and have a wide and deep roster, but this raid eliminated almost all of my favorite teams that I love playing (and spent a lot of time building) in favor of a new team that I (and most people) don’t have in order to do reasonable damage.
o I don’t like the fact that Rey is probably on a 140 (ish) day Cadence, and if I don’t get her next time I will have another 140 days before I am able to do decent damage (plus gear up time), were mid cycle now and that puts me at 210 days (very roughly) before I will be able to start doing decent damage if I don’t get her next time, and I probably won’t.
o I really don’t like being a guild slacker, or appearing to be, in all other raids and activities I fully participate with the guild, I don’t even auto Rancor or HAAT as I enjoy the mechanics and it is fun to play those raids, I can solo rancor and am improving my teams all of the time for HAAT so that I can better participate in guild events, but on this raid the complexity, team requirements and RNG just make me say “Nope not doing any more than the minimum”.
o I don’t like the fact that this raid seems to be ripping many guilds apart, you mention “community” a lot on the forums, especially when you are making mistakes, Guilds are communities and you are not looking after them, your tearing many apart and demotivating them, guilds are important, it’s what really keeps people playing, I have seen many people state that they only stay for the guild and the people in it (community)..
o Gear drops, what were you thinking, T7 drops G12 full pieces, so shouldn’t T6 drop G11, T5/G10, T4/G9 Etc… why are you only pandering to the heroic capable people when it’s the vast majority that are actually putting more time and effort (agreed with worse toons) into the raid, shouldn’t the reward concept be across the board in principal in order to encourage the player base to improve and attain higher things. Heroic is everyone’s goal, but the lower tiers should be helping people to get to Heroic, not throwing a wall up to stop them.
· What about the raid did you enjoy? What did you dislike about the raid?
o I particularly like the couple of days when we’re taking a break, I like nothing about this raid, it’s far too complex for me and I just don’t have the required toons, throw in bad RNG and everything else stated in this thread and it’s just too much for me to find fun
o I do appreciate (and love) the bounty hunters, they are a great addition to the game, but as they are a PVE specific (confirmed) group they should shine like the Rey teams, and they just don’t, well done but more tweaking required.
o Phase 2 is actually fun for those that don’t have JTR teams, if they can get to it in time before its done.
