Can we please delay Savage?

There are numerous ways to accommodate that. Delaying Tome/Crafted gear is one of them. In fact, it wouldn't be a bad idea as now people can focus on all the new content at their leisure without having to worry about capping the first week. If they didn't want to do that, simply bumping up the DPS checks of each fight just slightly would fix people having a tome piece, though one i490 piece isn't going to make a big difference. You're going to have full crafted regardless because it's required to kill Shiva. Another solution is simply not making Normal mode a requirement.

While I'd appreciate not having to mad rush prep, I'd be content simply not having to choose between story and Savage.



You know, except during the first tier where they do delay Savage and not only is this not considered an issue but welcomed at all levels. In fact, even World First groups have asked Yoshida directly for this delay to continue. Just because people can adjust or work around their prior commitments doesn't mean they want to. And some can't.

When they manage to release an expansion's worth of content with each patch, then they can consider delaying Savage.

Until then, let the people that want to race for it week 1 race for it at content drop.

Everyone else that can't make the time or unwilling to make the time can continue to play at their own, slower pace.
