Raid Dificulty levles - request to SE

Yeah. Go a5 and skip bombs / bird lol. Go a7 and skip jails and hearts. Go a6 and explode the bombs. Go a8 and ignore executor. Then tell me ignoring mechanisms on normal mode doesn't wipe again.

Also back on patch release we were i210. If some people cleared it in under 2 hours it's because they bothered trying to understand strategy(which is quite easy indeed as you said).

Plus some of us were already able to beat a8s dummy while being i210(even if rarely). Gear itself helps but it's not everything(at 230 you should be able to beat it 10 out of 10 tries ^^).

Normal was added so the people who don't have the time to commit to a "static" can see the story that they pay for each month.

what story? there is none from alexander, a few text based or cut scenes.

if u want story main scenario or hilderbrand side quests.

yes in a5 u can get hit by 1 bomb. the only case where it would wipe is 2 or more bombs.
jails and hearts? yes maybe u can fail them if ur AFK lol , what is so dificult in those that a 6 year old cant do?

You'd be surprised at how many people can't even do that ._. (Such as people on a7 with prey taking whole group inside jail somehow and I see people not killing add on a8 all the time). Hell, I even see people dying on roullete bosses somehow.

Just to argue schematics, the Alexander side quests/raids technically have a story, regardless of whether or not they're good or how people feel about them.

Of the options, I'd much prefer one raid difficulty, like coil.
Savage Second Coil was cool, a pure optional thing for the challenge, with a title showing your accomplishment, not gear.
But the entire thing being challenging rather than "DF-level easy" as Alexander is would make earning the story that much sweeter.

The only problem i have with savage is lack of ppl to form a static with, just as gordias... quite a few change server only to find a group that fits to them.
All day on party finder over weeks just to find 1-2 members is NOT fun, and atleast for shiva i can say it's a problem for alot groups.
Coil didnt have that problem because you could do it with randoms, might take a while but it was okay....

A server-wide function(per Datacenter) to form a group/static/linkshell and raid together could maybe help some i guess, but wont happen.


I can really understand that ppl get bored of it and rather do or play something else. Waiting = evil.

The issue with casual server. Finding static takes forever <.<. But hey, I've seen two groups asking for a caster this week (one even yesterday) in case you need a static.
