The raid isn't a money maker for them, only datacrons are. That's where most of their focus appears to be recently. So don't expect anything to get too fancy, unless they can tie datacrons to it somehow.
They expect us to move mods every time we do a raid? that ain't happening at this point. I already do that too much as it is for other events.
Ahnald's video was pretty detailed and gave a lot of interesting points about it. This should be a "phase 1" or "Phase X" of a real raid, not the whole thing.
At least they'll dump out a new boring raid in 6 months?
8-9 months is the stated cadence.
It would have been trivial to tie datacrons to the raid. I think your bitterness about datacrons is coloring your perspective on the whole game. They're not going anywhere - they're here to stay. Ignore datacrons or minimally engage. Plenty of people are doing that and getting along just fine in GAC.
With regard to the raid specifically - I can auto all 8 teams and collect rewards? Sign me up.
So it's not trivial to tie datacrons to the new shiny?
Datacrons color player's perspective on the whole game because they have a significant impact on the whole game. If you get the best ones, that helps you win gac. you win gac you get more rewards, crystals, etc. you get more crystals you can get more gear, unlock characters faster, do more in pvp and pve with an improved roster.
Just because they're here to stay doesn't mean I can't talk about them and complain. I'm a paying customer after all.
I really enjoyed doing all the other raids as an accomplishment of completing them. Even having to solo the Sith Raid each time it appeared was a quick fun thing to do, even to see how fast I could go to get through it. Krayt was fun a couple times to hit that max score with non hutt teams too.
If this raid is setup this way and everyone can just "auto" their way through 8 teams, why make a raid at all CG? Why not just give us raid rewards for clicking the join button each week? Or we just do it once and Sim it after we hit a certain score we are content with?
