Cata Raid Lockouts

Let me see if I understand this correctly, and the simplest explanation is usually the easiest.

If you beat a boos in raid 10/25 man or Normal/Heroic, you can no longer join another group on that raid, unless they have defeated the same bosses as you. Is this correct?

If so, this really limits options. My guild runs Normal and Heroic, but the Heroic team is full, so I run on the Normal team. This would limit me to just guild runs, since I can’t run Normal with the guild, and then a Heroic, of the same raid, with another group.

It’s a lockout. It’s designed to limit your options. Running Normal with the boys will be better than running Heroic with some randoms.

The cata changes are less strict than vanilla, tbc, and wotlk. So this is the start of them expanding your options.

heroic is limited to the same ppl no matter what but the normal so long as its at the same boss as you can be cleared by other ppl.

This doesn’t expand my options in any way, shape or form. Thanks.

Maybe if you were better you could join your heroic team and this would not be an issue.

Well to be fair if you kill a boss on heroic but do not finish the raid and bring someone with no raid lockout at all, they will get locked to some other random raid ID instead. The lockout system is f’d completely with no fix or communication in sight.

That is 100% correct and that person has to “ack”/agree via a click. It really make sense to be honest.

The other players of the raid can’t go back and kill the boss’ the pug missed and who wants a pug in a raid that starts fresh that only needs 2 boss’ to complete the set and then drop raid.
