    (Chaotic) Cloud Of Darkness Release Date Is A Joke?

    Why does SE release content like this on Christmas? Its the one holiday (most) people share and are away seeing family for. Not to mention 99% of groups that are attempting FRU will not be done.

    This can all be avoided if SE would just move it up by 2-4 weeks and release it mid jan-end of jan or.... Just release it before FRU!!

    please?

    Isn't it in 7.16? Which would put it in January like you said.

    6.1: 12th April 2022
    6.11: 26th April 2022
    6.15: 7th June 2022

    So applying that to 7.x:

    7.1: 12th November 2024
    7.11: 26th November 2024
    7.15: 7th January 2024
    7.16: 14th January 2024

    The timing may be a little different because SE will probably take a holiday at some point.

    (Also, scratch the 7.16 thing, they probably mean the quest will become available a week later like seasonal events, because that's how they do savage now in .2 and .4 patches).

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    I'm not a raider, but I think the problem lie with joining a static progression group. You begin 2 weeks later and people that began day one will be very probably won't want to restart the learning process from scratch. Or it will be hard to find groups to run the content if you begin searching 2 weeks after everyone.

    It remains to be seen if it will even need anything resembling a static. They seemed to imply it wouldn't and that it may not even require the level of coordination provided by BA/DRS discords:

    - They said there will be random reward bonuses on different data centers, motivating us to DC travel to PF it. Which suggests they do expect it to be PF'd.
    - They said there will be rewards for helping first timers through it. So hopefully their intention is it is realistic, and not too tedious, to help a first timer through it.
    - 12 is a rather specific number. If it's possible to enter with 12 people it sorta hints the mechanics can be done with 12 and that therefore only 12 people have to be totally competent at the fight and the other 12 can be sorta carried, but we'll have to see.

    If this raid is going to require a standard progression static, then it's going to be an abject failure.

    From what I understood, the reward structure for Chaotic heavily incentivizes taking as many new people into the duty and clearing as possible to get more rewards. So it doesn't matter how long you take to clear Chaotic, you'll most likely have people wanting to help you clear on the principle of getting more goodies for themselves. The fact that there is no loot lockout either may lead to people running it way more often over and over to gear jobs, so I don't think it will be that bad to not do it on release.

    To add onto this, this will likely become the new DRS and BA where it will get better to do it later on, since you'll eventually have Discord or PFs pop up with tank raid leaders who can walk people through the raid and give instructions to make reclears or fresh clears easier.

    You don't need a static for anything in this game
    And I doubt this will be the exception
