Little suggestion about raid fights.

[StrejdaTom]

Hello,
just wanted to drop here a little suggestion. As Alexander is already made this could be used only for 4.0 raids or later but.. I kinda think that the raid fights are sometimes too long. I would appreciate more if each turn had for example 2 boss fights half long than one long boss fight.

People, who would progress these fights would benefit from it because if they wiped they wouldn't have to do the phases they already know for 6 minutes to get to the problematic phase.

And I wouldn't be falling asleep as I momentaly am during T13 farm. Dealing with Earth Shaker and Megaflare 10 times doesn't make the fight harder, just longer.
(and nope, we aren't doing low dps and dealing with them 10 times, I am exagerating)

I thought I heard somewhere they were thinking about implementing a "practice" option where you could practice specific phases, but I could just b e sleepily reiterating something my old static brought up during t13 progression.

Ooohhh now a practice mode would be helpful as I'm learning/training through T9 with my FC and I'm now starting to drift off while playing at the meteor stage since I've done it so many times but actually want to learn the fire/ice/divebombs section. As for this, I get what you mean as I feel like sleeping during Hydra & Cerberus in WoD. Those boss fights aren't really challenging but seem to take forever to finish. More bosses that hit much harder with less HP would make a nice change for me personally

Yeah these 2 fights are actually the reason why I am glad that I don't have a reason to do WoD anymore. Don't get me wrong the fights are nice, especially the Cerberus brought some new ideas, but they are just too long to be enjoyable when doing for 10th times. On the other way I still enjoy Shiva EM or Titan EM.

Sorry 14 min is not long, except for maybe WoW 14 min for a top tier boss fight is prob the shortest of any MMO. At least any of the ones i've played. There is not 1 piece of content in this game that takes more than one hour to complete. No thanks, this game is casual enough already.

The average is usually 10-15 minutes, for games with this kind of set up. Hour long boss fights are for completely different systems.

Eh. Even if they had the exact same mechanics as they do now, giving you an "intermission" of sorts by splitting up the boss fight into two separate fights would just make the content a lot easier all around. So then they'd probably compensate by putting in more intricate DDR style crap that you have to deal with all at once. >.>

Yeah 15 minutes isn't that long. TV shows on some networks go that long between commercial breaks.
It's not the LENGTH that matters, it's what you spend that time DOING that matters.
