- What tier or tiers did you play?
T5/6 ( did one incomplete 7 as a merc in another guild )
- What GP is your Guild that is attempting the raid?
Currently 108m ( has dropped a bit after losing a few people in the last couple of weeks ).
- What teams you did you attempt the raid with?
Think I've used just about my entire roster and various times, but most success with JTR, Troopers, Chex Mix, Nightsisters, some FO.
- What part of the raid motivated or demotivated you to continue trying?
The only real motivation is getting geared for T7. For demotivation the long grindy nature.
- What about the raid did you enjoy? What did you dislike about the raid?
I find it really tough to zero in on anything that I actually enjoy in this raid. If there wasn't a very slight glimmer at the end of the tunnel I probably wouldn't be doing it.
For dislike:
The Grind. Lower tiers should have the same mechanic as T7, no character refresh, 2 day timer. Then you can balance the health/damage around those expectations, and they're useful as a tool to work towards T7.
At the moment, optimal T7 is pretty much 1 Team for each phase, plus stuff to finish P4. ( with some bits in between ). For all the other Tiers, it's use 5 teams over and over and over and over and over again, with maybe a little variance. But using JTR in every Phase on T6 isn't doing anything to prepare you for T7, it's just more grind.
If the 2 day, no refresh mechanics were the same, then if you couldn't do T7, you could try T6, or T5 ( etc ), until you can find a level you can do. When you can clear it easily you know that you're ready to move up to the next Tier. Currently, just because you can clear T6 in a few days gives no real indication on whether you are ready for T7.
The other thing that would be really useful, is partial rewards per phase. Wouldn't need to be much, but some reward for managing to clear to P3 of T7 ( even if it was only a little currency ), would make it so that it didn't feel like a complete waste of raid tickets and time spent. ( I'd still expect character shards and the best of the gear to be only for full completion ).
