Back-logging weekly clears

[Vidu]

Tiers last for six months: that is plenty of time to get whatever gear you want (and, very likely, then some). They’ve even started removing loot lockouts in the last month that the tier is current to make farming them even easier. There’s no rush to getting this gear unless you’re planning on tackling the Ultimate that’s coming out soon, where it’s actually needed for survivability/damage requirements—otherwise, missing a week isn’t that detrimental. You’ll be behind, yes; but it is what it is.

...just as a little sidenote: No one whos planning to tackle Ultimate should be pugging Savage right now. Ultimate will ultimatly (...excuse the pun) require you to have a static anyways, which means setting aisde a dedicated time-frame every week. If someone cant do that for Savage, they wont be able to do that for Ultimate.

Additional sidenote: Being on the same DC and even server as the OP, I can confirm that I'm seeing PFs for Savage-clears up at almost all times during the week. There are always clear-runs up during evening primetimes from 5-11pm, I've seen some around noon aswell as the occassional ones late at night, so from midnight to 4am. I even joked about seeing a "late weekly clear"-PF up at 2am on a monday-morning, 8 hours before weekly reset.
So, yeah... my only guess would be that a lot - or at least some - of those groups arent able to clear it (or at least not able to carry people...) and thats creating a feeling of not being able to get a Savage-clear. As mentioned before though: Thats due to the more complexe mechanics... the whole notion of "people cant go back and help others with their clears!" falls flat on its face since they actually can do that - with a loot-penalty, though - and that kinda does sound a bit like wanting a carry to me... sure, its comfy to pick up the FC-tank who cleared E4S for your E1S-clear so you dont have to deal with PF-people, I get that... but there is a price to pay to fo this content: Either in time and effort in maintaining a static - or living with pugs or/and loot-penalties if you want the easy way out.
