Instanced Raids Unveiled!

Yuck. World of Warcraft (I'm not up for it.) Different content, different names, different systems. Raids and dungeons can go to Hell.

@ Dav: if thats true then take the suckers down...
I can bet most of the community would agree to take down the servers if it meant we get more stuff faster.

The ideal solution would be to balance content in a way that you can get by the skin of your teeth when you're short one person, but any less than that the dungeon in question is pretty much impossible. Lowman world mobs are alright, but that won't go over well if you have that kind of stuff going on in instanced dungeons. At least, not at appropriate level.

That doesnt make sense. instances have been around before WoW...and i'm sure raiding dungeons/ the name Raid for large party dungeons has been too.

Similar to when a SWAT team carries out a raid on a building, you go in with a large team. Thats all raid means when it comes to dungeons: Assaulting with a large team. And as far as dungeons go...well thats obvious. Besides, i'm sure they will have official names later, not just called raid dungeons.

This would make an interesting Poll.

Would more people be willing to have the servers taken down for 2-3 months if it helped the Dev Team with production?

or DO more people want to continue to "play-test" the new content in incremental patches?

I am for whatever gets more stuff done faster/better.

p.s. I am too lazy to make a Poll, besides the "Likes" would go to my head, so if someone wants to...feel free.

Patches are developed with test server, taking the servers down will not speed up development and it will exclude the devs from getting input from players testing what they put out.

All negatives no positives. Why shut it down.

some people want to stop, but dont want to fall behind others, and this is their solution to it...
and some just want the game shut down so some people will go back to 11

Yoshida had to be the director from the beginning, with Tanaka as producer. That's all.

No, but it's a start.

Especially for a game like this, where having a good, honest relationship with a developer that you give feedback to and expect it in return can make all the difference.

Having to develop new content while keeping the live servers working and maintained seriously subtracts resources.

They should either turn the live server into a TRUE testing server (as in we get what they're working on as soon as it is playable) or invite people to a testing server and take the live servers down.

It's what makes sense as far as wanting feedback goes. I mean, we haven't gotten any large content patches so far so there's not much to give feedback on in-game that wasn't there on release.
