Nerf Chaotic

Honestly when they announce harder alliance raids, I thought it would be great I love alliance raids they are some of my favorite things to do. Instead of getting something like Orbonne before the nerfs and without echo we get another Savage raid just this time with 24 people instead of 8. Completely uninterested.

Well they advertised it as being savage difficulty so I dunno what to tell you.

It wasnt so much the difficulty being the problem as it was the fact it's just another boss in an arena. So innovative.

Yeah it's a bit of a separate issue but I can agree that "boss in a room" has gotten a bit old. We used to have trash in 8-man raid content too but players complained (I think) and now it's gone.

It's pretty hard to have an immersive experience of storming a large area like pretty much all of the alliance raids when there's no trash or journey to the boss. But there's a few issues with trash in this game in general:

• Trash mobs in themselves have just been "round up and AoE down". I can't speak for current expacs but at least in Classic WoW, the trash was as hard and in same cases harder than the boss and even somewhat had a solution for the next point...
  The game has no reward system that would be appropriate to put on trash mobs. There's no crafting materials they could put in a Chaotic raid and not piss people off who don't wanna do it. There's no gear to really gain as that's on the boss and the overly simplified stat system leaves for almost no variation in gearing. And it's pretty obvious that cosmetics are also not liked in Chaotic raid.

I was hoping for something like an Alliance Raid version of the Unreal trials

A lot of us were hoping for Echoes of Vana'diel Extreme/Unreal.

Massive disappointment when they showcased a new Trial instead.

I was expecting a hard mode version of the Ark Angels... like what FFXI has (Divine Might). It was the first thing I thought of when I heard FFXI alliance raid + new hard mode alliance raid content
Would have been fairly easy to make, timely, and thematic. Instead they chose to make a bunch of references to a Savage fight, pretty bizarre
