Dungeons Raids

[Edellis]

What are you even talking about? CT/Sycrus/WoD are only 3 different raids, and technically they each have 3 "levels" to them.

The problem with branching is 1) it requires more development, 2) it defeats the purpose of having 3 parties, and 3) It's very likely that people will find the most efficient path and grind it out anyway


I'm all for dungeons having multiple clear paths or alternate means of getting to the end, but i dont know if Raids are the best place to do that.

I think what he means is that there are branching paths - each with their own specific loot. Something like.. one path has one boss with high difficulty while another has multiple bosses with lowered difficulty, but they all retain their pros and cons. Maybe one side requires more team coordination, and one side requires more individual awareness. Loot distributed has differing stats. Such as one side giving stats that focus more to Critical Hit and another favouring Spell/Skill Speed. I could be wrong though. The OP was very confusing.

Edit:

The OP is talking about raids such as BCoB and Alexander, and not from the CT series.

The devs already tried something like this with Turn 2, and back when it was relevant content the playerbase found a single optimal path and stuck with that one constantly. Branching paths sound cool in theory, but in practice rarely work out as intended, and thus lead to development time that could've been successfully applied elsewhere.

I suddenly wonder how many players actualy how ROT works xD all i ever saw on my server back then was enrage parties
