Really hope next savage tier is delayed.

Just like on the start of the expansion. I hope savage is delayed 1-2 weeks so raiders like myself don't have to rush, rush.
To unlock savage as fast as possible and ignore everything and skip cut scenes from the normal mode.

they won't. savage is only delayed for the first tier.

Unless you're participating in the world-first race, I don't really see why you'd feel the need to skip through the ~1 hour of normal-mode content. That's a very small subset of people.

well, then don't skip the scenes. enjoy the game story that you paid for. idk what else to say.

Or if you're not in a WF static, but they want to start progging immediately and you're in a situation where yo work all day and come home and would rather enjoy the cutscenes... just communicate that with your static?

Nothing is forcing you to rush.

So just because you feel like savage mode must be tackled the first day it is available (to the extent that you feel like you must skip all other content in order to rush it) or else it presumably just isn't worth doing, that means it should be delayed for everyone else just to accommodate you?

Sounds like the epitome of selfishness to me.

This seems pretty reasonable to me. The difference between the first tier and second/third tiers is actually quite noticeable. With the first tier you have time to take in the normal fights and enjoy them, they're not immediately mechanically and - in terms of gearing - obsolete, and you get a window to gear up to the base ilvl that the Savage fights require. Then, when the Savages unlock, if you're not in a static then you don't feel pressured because you've had time to take everything in. The second tier is a lot less enjoyable to start, in my opinion. If, like a lot of people, you want to try and enjoy the fights before guides have dropped, then you're pushed into grabbing the new crafted gear immediately, melding it and rushing through the story, all so you can hit the savage fights before everybody knows how to do them. Like, yeah, you're not forced to rush but when the first tier is already doing this and people who, for whatever reason, can't join a static get a more pleasant experience (and people in statics don't get a worse one) then it doesn't exactly seem too unreasonable?

Unless you are world first you don't need to rush the story of the normal mode. I know my group does the normal content release day and then we wait a day or two and start it. Really you have a whole week to get it done, unless you're getting paid to rush and beat it, beating it later in the week is no different. Same rewards.

You shouldn't need to rush through Normal mode to do Savage before guides are released, especially if you're in a static, as they're not released that fast.
