Can we please delay Savage?

This one gets it.

Take your time if you'd prefer or are obligated to. But don't penalize the people that have made the time to make it happen.

How is delaying Savage’s release a week after a x.2 or x.4 patch punishing anyone? World Race raiders and Week 1 raiders can still make the time for the raid, so I fail to see how anyone is being penalized. The delay would obviously be announced in true SE fashion; it’s not like they’d say Savage is delayed a week the night of. It would become just as formulaic as everything else is in this game.

But by week 2, you can have 1-2 tome pieces on top of crafted gear. That weakens the difficulty no? Plus, in terms of the delayed weeks during expansion launches, the capped tome gear is also delayed, so you'd have to delay that too. Plus, isn't the crafted gear thats required for Savage for expansion launches also delayed until that 2nd week?

Not nearly as much as you are trying to imply with your post. I’ve only stated my personal goals, and I still find Week 2 challenging despite having a tome piece (since you would opt for body or pants if either are BiS) or two (assuming body/pants BiS for your jobs are Savage).

Even if they delay the crafted gear for the Savage patch, that would be better than what we have now. I like to enjoy both raiding and the story, and I couldn’t this tier because I can’t just request time off of work for video games. The developers stress delaying it for the first tier so that people can enjoy the story. Why can’t that be the case for all tiers?



Can anyone actually provide a solid reason why Savage shouldn’t be delayed a week?
