Outdated Raids

[Rizon]

I do not know what it is like on other servers but on Hyperion it is impossible to get 1 of the Alliance Raids (ARR) through the Duty Finder. The Heavensward raids are not much better. Yet these raids are still part of Wondrous Tails. While I understand that the team wants to jin up interest these older content it does not appear to be working. Respectfully recommend to the Dev Team that they review the feasibility of their continued use in the rotation for things like Tails.

I understand a 24 man raid roulette is coming in an upcoming patch. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Last I heard they were aiming to have that roulette ready for 4.1. Whether it makes it's appearance at that point or not is still completely up in the air.

I'm in Tonberry, it is still ok in this server, in my opinion, but the queue can take quite some time. And yeah, I read too that the raid roulette is coming, that might help somehow.

I don't stay on top of WT like most people, but I can say I never do the alliance raids. It's just not worth the time compared to other options.

I am aware of the roulette but unless SE spices up these older raids to make them relevant for today's game I do not see it succeeding anymore then the standalone entries.

I think the Raid Roulette is a good idea. If they offer up suitable rewards (I'd say 30-40 Creation at least), then I'd jump on it.

The last thing I want them to do, though, is integrate the old raids into content like the new relic -- again. Offer new rewards instead of tying them to new content.

The previous arrangement on both NA data centers was that Sunday, 6-9PM EST, was "24 Man Raid Time" under the assumption that if everyone made that their plan to do the raids, then there would be more people queuing, and therefore the queues would be shorter. This worked well throughout all of 2.0 and 3.0. Queue times went from the painful hours during the week to a nice zippy 5-10 minutes even for DPS on Sunday because of this arrangement.

Even now that it's old content, it's still the time of the week when the NA data centers run the 24 man raids for the glim glams. So I'd suggest trying Sunday afternoon/evening and seeing if it's any better.

They never pop. T.T I'm about to make a post here and just ask people to help me finish these raids cause.... It's been a month and I still can't get into them. I just want the coins. T.T

Raid Roulette in 4.1 is fine but that also means 4-5 months of dead ques since 4.0. Why not introduce it earlier? In 4.0? 4.01? 4.05?

I'm also disappointed they made The Wolrd of Darkness gear craftable, it devalued anything exclusive that was left in that raid. They'll probably do the same with gear from other raids too. So basically TT card and minion is the only reason to do these raids after first clear.
