Raid Curiousities - Important information we don't yet have

[Archadius]

Upon reading the Lodestone post, I had a few questions when finished. Whether you love/hate anything to do with the announced content is irrelevant to me, so please take your opinion on that matter elsewhere. This is a discussion about important information that we still need about these raids. A few points to note:

- Do players gain SP (soon to be XP) in said raids or are we going to get a repeat performance of what side quests started out as?

- Are these actually repeatable? Seems ridiculous, but tbh it's worth concern because currently we have 0 repeatable quests in-game, and these raids are based off of a quest

- If repeatable, how often? Once per day? Once per week? Once per "guildleve reset"? Unlimited?

- Is there a rank (soon to be level) cap for these raids? Obviously the second one is min R45 and max R50 but the other says R25+, so does it cap at R30? If so, does it cap you at R30 if you try to enter with a class higher than R30 or simply deny you access? * It has been confirmed in the French forums that these raids will be uncapped. Using Google Translate gives you enough information. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...331#post192331

Please feel free to add further. If SE takes notice, perhaps we will see some questions answered if there is another post/letter before the release of 1.18.

Thank you for your contributions.

I think they learned their lesson from capping shit in CoP.
Even with the ability to equip gear at any level really in this game, people will still lug around a bazillion different gear sets, which then will induce community wide bitching that they don't have enough inventory space for it all.

I don't see how these would not be repeatable lol. I would imagine that there will be a cool-down timer, so that you can only do one every however many hours.
I'm sure we will find out in due course- the post on the Lodestone was just a further teaser after all. ^^

I think if they end up locking raids to leve times or once per week ect, I'm gonna give up, uninstall, and play just about any other crappy MMO that at least lets me actually do shit when I feel like it.

Gods, Guild Wars 2 couldn't come sooner.

Playing devil's advocate, if they don't put a limit on it (e.g. a certain item required for entry, or by a cool-down on time to enter) then people will be back on the forums bitching that they finished it within a week and got all the gear they want......

People will be back here within a week regardless, unless there is some time sink, a good one.

People are already complaining!

@thread i would like to know if these dungeons will have linked rewards ie: r30 dungeon drops r30 equip thats upgradable with drops from the r50 dungeon. Would be an added reason to go back and do both dungeons.

I would like to know if there will be any varying objectives to these dungeons- i.e. will we just have to kill all mobs with a boss at the end, or will there be other objectives to make it more interesting?

bottom of the news. You'll have your answer.

An array of rich rewards awaits dauntless adventurers who would brave these forsaken domains, and can be obtained by vanquishing formidable foes, fulfilling certain conditions within the area, and, of course, plundering treasure chests.

Doh, not sure how I missed that, thanks! lol
Sounds promising.

(I do hope that "fulfilling certain conditions within the area" does actually mean more than just kill everything lol.)
