Raid Questions

Post » Wed Oct 23, 2013 6:42 am

I did a little searching and probably could have done more, but I have a few questions regarding 24 Man Content i.e. - Raiding.

  1. What type of rewards will there be in Raids?
  2. Will there be loot rolls or loot options to control loot distribution?
  3. Will the loot be potentially epic, stat-wise, or just cosmetic?
  4. Will it be progression based?
  5. Will raids be in areas or dungeons?
  6. If areas, why not dungeons too? If both, great.

The reason for asking is that as a pain as it was to do, I loved raiding. The reason was that it was difficult and took real planning, coordination and time (days, weeks, etc.) to beat. And that was fine. And then you only had a chance to get loot. That was great. It added to the fun of it. And cosmetic was nice but stats were better. Always.

Please don't make this an http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/even+stevens, kumbaya experience. Make it hard. Make it rewarding. Make the rewards epic, random and rare. Make it so that not everyone is equal at the end of the Raid as in not everyone gets the same epic or equally epic reward. The reason I say this is that there seems to be a trend in MMO's, that they have to make everything equal as if some federal agency is monitoring MMO's for some sort of Equal Opportunity infringement that they may be fined for or worse, that might be posted on facebook, twitter or whatever. And don't make things too hard or some MMO Players Union will come down on you. It's silly. Have the testicular fortitude and make a great game. Make it EPIC.

7. Speaking of Epic, will there be Epic Weapon questlines associated with progression Raiding? Like Fabled, Epic, Mythical, etc..?

8. Will we have gear levels with colors like Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red, etc..?

As an aside:

Can we please call 24 man content, Raids? Or is not calling them raids a possible CYA so that when we actually get to play them, and we realize that they are nothing like the raids we've come to know and love, they can say that they never said there would be raids. :icecream:

They are currently, like right now in time, working on their version of raids which they call Adventure Zones.

Not alot of details because of this whole "working on them right now as we speak" thing.

What we do know is that they're PvE content tuned for groups of 4-24 (full raid) people, and are endgame content.
