Thread: 5 floors each raid tier in 5.0?

@Ameela I dunno but this feels more like a "Lets make something big and cool looking but people with no brains can beat it in less then a day" kind of content.

The latest Raids are no where the the expetations people want. Coil set the bar quite high back in the day with raid designs etc., nothing is anywhere near Coil in terms of Difficulty and Design (difficultie is arguable cause some fights like in Alexander are quite tough). Ever since SB we get tossed straight into the fight. No more little paths or mini bosses before the actual boss fight ( Aside from alexander normal perhaps but that was just flat out boring and not challenging at all).

i honestly do not understand why those Floors are still getting Called Raid, cause they are not, it is nothing but 4 Fights we get each new tier, 5 if you include the savage version of the 4th floor.
Sure we also got those ultimate fights but what happens after you beat them? Those fight will get repetetive over time just like the Floors or Primal fights. ( and dont come at me with beat the fight, 99% of the player community has No interest in those fights ore are incapable of pressing buttons in the right order so you expect them to beat the ultimate fights.... or you wanna do them with them in PF? no way!). Calling them Raids is just plain out wrong.

What they really need is actual a proper Raid design just like the 24 brain dead stuff we get every odd numbered patch like mentioned above, but this will never happen because they simply cater more torwards the None raid community and try to make them happy, hence watered down diffiult and desing in litereally every content. It takes less then a day for the Elite playes to beat the latest tier, roughly a month for the more active raiders, but even after the second month the majority of people beat the fight and that even without playing their class correct since its gotten so easy. It is simply way too fast!

For me personally i am having the same problem many others do, which is continueing this game. I promised the raid group to stay around for 4.4 but if this is just as boring and short like the previous raids and the "fan fest" does not show anything cool and exciting for the next expansion, i will doubt that i will continue to stay subbed. I will probbaly just move on and search for something else.

They'll never do "proper raids" with Savage difficulty as that would mean having to do fights you've already beaten every time you want to prog.
People already complain a lot about having to do Kefka before being able to go into God Kefka, imagine if they also had to do Phantom Train, Chadarnook and Guardian.
And you can say that it's already how it works but at least with how it is now you can beat the early fights and then save the one you're progging on for the next day or something, so it's not as draining as doing them all in a row.
