So, obviously we don’t have every detail, but we have been told it will be unwise to be in raid groups.
So what’s to stop players from forming multiple groups and hunting together? And if the answer is nothing - then whats the point of dissallowing raid groups?
I forsee people getting upset when a raid groups worth of players working together rolls over 5 man squads.
I’m not for or against it, just a thought I had. Seems like guilds will have a big advantage here to coordinate this collution.
Nothing really stopping people from making multiple small groups and working together on Discord, besides accidentally kill stealing or AOEing each other.
My guild has speculated that the event might not be faction locked. People might be hostile to literally everyone not in their group.
Also not being in a raid and doing what you suggest does have less power. Certain things can only be done to people in your group.
Like priest 1 can’t save priest 2 with pw:s when they are jumped.
Yeah it would just devolve into essentially “win-trading” at that point. With the groups swapping back and forth over last hit or whatever it is that will drop on player deaths.
This was already confirmed by Blizzard.
It’s going to be a Free for All, like the Gurubashi Arena.
Sure but sub-optimal healing wont matter when you have multiple 5 man groups calling priority targets in discord.
Watch the first 20 mins of the dark knight and get back to me…
This makes sense on paper but in practice it’ll be absolute chaos. If you’re fighting Horde as well, how are you going to discern which Horde you’re trying to kill and which was your friendly group?
MAYBE a bit more easy to coordinate for close groups, like guilds maybe, but there’s going to always be collateral damage.
You underestimate players determined for an advantage. An easy solution i could see is obfuscation of names in the zone during the event.
It’s all easy to say. Only one way to find out.
Good. Join a Guild.
Groups doing that will be hampered by ineffective targeting and inability to use any kind of multi target ability without risking hitting their friends.
haha i love this
