Void Ark Preview

Bingo! Someone get this guy a cookie or something

Also, I am willing to bet 25 million gil that they have not fixed the TERRIBLE loot system of their 24 man "raid" series.

just curious, why did you put raid in quotes...CT/VoidArk is the only content that deserves the RAID tag. 8-man lobby bosses are not even remotely deserving of the moniker...difficulty has nothing to do with it

Meh just more primal encounters. These shouldn't even be called raids as sadly they are not.

[Gralna]

Sooooo, we gonna get the Caith Sith minion we got with the ARR pre-order but, instead of a ribbon, it's gonna have a cape?

Don't think that'll be a minion, they've shown that same cait sith at other live letter announcements for Void Ark, so assuming that it/they will have some connection with the void ark storyline.

I barely call alex a "raid". The only thing that ever came close to an authentic raiding experience in this game was first coil.

So, spare me your assumptions about my personal beliefs.

I agree with you. While I did not do Coil I hear it was an alright raiding experience, nothing compared to world of warcraft raiding though sadly. I miss Ulduar, Nax, and ICC.

If SE wants to make an actual raid then learn from wow. Give us 10-15 boss raids with trash that can drop end game gear and materials in between. Remove the stupid raid timer and let it save your progress until it resets on Tuesday. If they do that, then I will call this game's end game content raiding. Until then, all we have are primal boss fights over and over again. I will never accept 4-5 boss fights per "raid" when Ulduar was 14 bosses, ICC was 15, and Nax was I think 15 as well.

cant agree more!

dont forget how awesome was the INSTANCE ITSELF , ulduar was huge! , even had a train! , ICC was climbing to the top ...to face the Lich king!....

FFXIV 2.0 "raids" were just corridors to the boss ....some trash that wasnt important (some gil ? or some rare mats?)....3.0.... Alex....we dont even have trash anymore.

Trash is fun the first two weeks. After that it becomes more of an annoying thing. T11 was very unpopular after echo and whatnot.

I rather have 10 or more difficult bosses. It does not necessarily have to go from less difficult to most difficult. Random is fun with the very last boss the most difficult one of course.

Maybe someday..

What I want to know is why dungeons give 2 pieces of loot, Alex and Coil give two pieces per chest.... but seriously? I only ran the entire CT thing once.. was it really only one item per alliance? The hell is up with that? 2 per 8 people makes more sense.

Uh no it was one item per party per chest so...
four items per party, and any special mat/minion WAS rolled between the whole alliance

LOLEDIT:
this is for the 24 man stuff not coil....

Every time I've walked into Coil with my four man group it was 2 items + material. Didn't do Coil when it was relevant.

Alex has two items per 8 people. Doesn't matter if it's in two chests or not.

Three items for an entire 24 player raid is a stupid idea.
