Considering this hasn't happened with the first tier of any Savage fight, I imagine they would only release the Savage files with the subsequent patch. At most, groups would be able to predict more mechanics through Normal mode, though that isn't usually a big help.

It is when SE chooses not to delay the two subsequent Savage tiers and requires Normal mode to be cleared. The whole point is if you want to better your chances of a week one kill, you have to skip cut scenes and rush through Normal. Ultimately, the decision is SE's to make but we are encouraged to provide feedback. Hence the purpose of this thread.
