Flex-Raid Type System

[KoujiMoreno]

Just curious on what the community thinks of a flex raid type system? If you don't know what it is, just google 'What is flex raid?'. Of course there would have to be a raid tier that is a step above 8 mans, but if SE could hash it out, would you like it? Would you dislike it? What do you think the pros and cons are for you and your FC/LSs?

Your suggestion you explain it too me because I'm not googling anything. And you say I'm bad at making suggestions at least I explained mines.

I would love something like this. The current raiding system makes me feel too disconnected from other FC members.

I propose a new system, if you don't know it, please search for it. LOOOOOOOOOOL!

Should have cited what this "flex-raid-system" is all about atleast.

OP, I hope you're not one of those that calls this game a WoW clone...

Since clicking is hard yet you still hunger for an answer...

Flex system is basically a solution to guilds/FCs that have too many players for 1 static group but not enough to fill a 2nd group. So instead of a team of 8 and another team of 8, you'd have a team of 8 and 3 people sitting around hoping someone didn't log on that night. The raid itself (including gear) would scale depending on how many players were present. The fight mechanics themselves were mostly the same, but the bosses would have more heath, defense, stronger attacks, etc. Some mechanics would change, though they would mostly be small. For example instead of the group dealing with 1 add in a normal 8 man, they'd deal with 2 adds.

Yeah I don't like the sound of the dungeon and gear scaling. Plus they going to be introducing the FC alliance feature.

Just so I'm clear on the scaling part, it scaled itself between the two tiers of gear. It wasn't a random item level number.

I'm saying I think the ilevel of a dungeon or raid should be locked to a certain ilevel. Know how mad I would be if I got lower teir gear after weeks of raiding. I'll rather not get any at all.

Of course you would get a lower ilvl item, the dungeon itself is less difficult than the tier above it.
