absolutely love the game so far. could we please make gnomer a 20man raid with a 7 day lockout though? we’re trying new things here i understand, but let’s give the more serious players a little breathing room. I don’t wanna burn out raiding on 4 chars before i even hit 60
why would u need to raid 4 characters every lockout for a level 25 early testing phase of a project concept?
unless you wanted to ofc, then in that case i don’t see an issue.
learn to pace yourself, there is absolutely no reason to play that much, UNLESS you want to of course which is perfectly fine as well.
i too want gnomer to be 20+ raid size, but sorry to tell you, its going to be 10 man and likely on the same 3 day lockout because they are just copying existing ingame code infrastructure while they focus on other more pressing things such as the new content, the new loot and new class/spec designs and functionality.
i would expect different raid size format that is brand new to the game after w reach level 60. maybe the karazan crypts for example?
the early testing phase of a concept is exactly why I want to raid on several chars! I love trying out the new specs and playstyles, maybe because the dungeon is short the 3 day lockout makes more sense? idk we’ll see in new phases i guess
Just don’t raid so much. Phases last a while, right now you see people complaining about having nothing to do. If you want to raid every single lockout bully for you. I have alts that I don’t raid every single lockout, and I’m not overly worried about it. Unless we see an overhaul of loot from the 25-40 dungeons people are going to continue farming BFD for pre gnomer bis even in P2. If anything it will be better since we will probably be doing so with 5 or less people.
i do agree with your tbc point tho, breaking down a 25m into 10m raids was a pain - i think keeping it at rounded numbers like 10-20-40 is better in general (though i don’t like the idea of 40m raiding in SoD)
I doubt this is about trying new things, and probably more to do with BFD already having been a 10 man instance, like pretty much all WoW Classic leveling instances.
I’m not sure if the 3 day lockout, which I imagine is the same 3-day reset schedule as ZG and AQ20 has anything to do with raid size, but I could imagine it being the case that we’ll only see 10-man raids on a 3-day reset schedule until later phases at level 60, or if they decide to add new raid instances.
I just hope if they add 20 mans they dont rid of 10 mans and keep the loot the same. I think one of the great parts about 10 man is that you don’t have to fix to a raid schedule or over commit to a raiding guild and can just casually play with your friends and fill slots as needed.
The larger the raid the more overhead and people who will call out 1 hour before raid begins
