IMO it is not hard but has already in the second day become a monotonous, long boring grind.

Lol yup, pretty much like every single game that comes out now a days. I'm glad it's not just a one team and win fight like rancor though

Absolutely but it might have been to a very far extreme. Maybe in a couple weeks when we run the second one it will be interesting.

Overall you guys of been majorly on the upswing lately I give credit where credit is due.

This raid however is fucking garbage. Maybe stop using the top guild as a measuring stick to determine what is difficult or not.

I personally Won't waste anymore of my time on this raid.

I thought phase 2 was a myth...
But honestly, I'm fine with a very hard difficulty, we shouldn't be able to beat T6 or 7 in a few days.
The problem is that there is no T5 or lower, so the vast majority of the guilds won't be able to get anything done. Most guilds don't have 50 active level 80+ with great mods and gear, and this just alienates any guild that is not godly

That is a shockingly ignorant statement to make. If raid tickets max every 5 days, and a decent guild can only finish one normal raid every month, then about 670,000 tickets get wasted every month. On top of that, getting no more than 12 raid chests in a YEAR to max all your character's armor means that the level cap will go 2 90 by the time you max one character, maybe two... then what?

That's what too hard means... you must not be a gamer... any gamer with half a brain knows the normal raid is overtuned... dramatically. Since it or heroic are the only non-crystal/challenge source for yellow gear, it's a major problem.

I have faith this will get fixed soon... otherwise, this is a game killer. I can't even imagine Blizzard putting out content this hilariously unbalanced... Emerald Nightmare where guilds with an 870 average can barely kill the first boss on normal... but hey Blood Legion did it on Mythic, so it must be OK, right?

Well said. Thank you.

I think its just too much HP on the T6. Cut the HP on the T6 in half and it will be fine. Keep T7 hard.

To weigh in on this, our guild is a top 200 guild therefore meaning a top 100 because everyone was tied from high 80s plus. We have a few whales other mid whales etc. We could put the heroic rancor down in1 to 2 hours if we wanted to.
I don't mind a raid with some difficulty. This normal raid is a litte much especially since we have to figure out thw mechanics while being eaten alive with dots.
The first day I did 200 k. I hit 600 k today and I have a pretty deep squad. But we as a guild are at 50 percent on part 1.
The raid needs some toning down of the health or the amount GG keeps hitting with dots or sending out adds etc. My main lu put down adds easy but then they keep back real quick.
I read the mechanics of the raid so I have a good grasp of it somewhat on day 2. Still 30 million for part 1 on a brand new raid is way overboard. We've been talking about running the heroic and fail versus filling up on coins because the normal will take a few weeks to complete.

Get it?

Is that Morse code?

Simple PHP code

Ahhh. I only use GUX code anymore. Didnt recognize it.

I was tempted to dig out perl but.. lol I work alot with dynamic templates and it was the first I thought of, smarty php etc..

Last time I did any code was on an Apple IIC in high school.....

10 new raid is too boring and slow
20 goto 10
Run

This raid was expected around July/August. Most didn't complain over the wait. Those that did complain, heard from people on here that they would rather wait than get a half baked update like we have had before... ie gear pre-craftIng, mod fiasco etc

But EA can you please acknowledge that this raid is broken. I belong to a strong guide, which after 48 hours of opening a T6 takedown raid are still in p1.

The raid look great, but is disheartening and getting boring quick. You have a hardcore fan base but stop kicking us.

It's very hard and I'm fine with it. Well done, EA.

My only complaint is that the animation of the tank is so darn slow. Wish it could be sped up a little. But honestly, it's great otherwise. Extremely difficult and I appreciate the challenge
