Are we getting a chaotic raid for every raid tier?

[Hypnotic13371337]

for MS 5-8 and MS 9-12 are we getting a chaotic 24 man to go along with each of them?

Just had a thought what with the CR offering savage ilvl stuff... whats gonna happen when the next set is gonna come out?

Think they are just trying it for this one time to see if this is some side content they can release along side raiding in the future, or just have it be a one and done kind of thing, or even maybe higher ilvl variations of the gear that unlock once the next wings come out?

They were very clear that this scheduling for it isn't necessarily permanent. They are just trying it out as a concept and may or may not continue it.

Well, let's hope it goes well and they see promise in it! I for one would love getting a Chaotic Ivalice Raid around Ultima or T.G. Cid

[Kaurhz]

I wouldn't think they would do it for every raid tier. It's just a concept. We may very well get another as part of the exploratory zone, but it's content that is relatively difficult to organize for when compared to 4-man or 8-man content, which is why they probably won't elect to make it a consistent part of the patch schedule.

I hope so, odds are it'll be a more lenient version of savage raiding where a few people dead doesn't = a wipe guaranteed like savage/ex/ultimates with much more unique mechanics

[Jeeqbit]

It is relatively forgiving. But people doing it do need to know the mechanics, even if a few of them mess up occasionally.

For example, messing up might mean a bleed, a damage down, a bit more damage on party stacks, or a death+rez or Esuna. But if this happens to a lot of people, it's gonna slowly crumble the alliance away.

So provided you actually know the mechanics and mostly do them, if you just make a mistake here and there it's alright, but you can't really have the whole alliance in there being clueless (which is quite evident in blind prog parties).

I'd rather have them experiment with actual fresh things instead of reprocessing older content into yet another trial boss but with 24 people.

[Garruss]

I think it's going to be a test to see how well this one does and how long it stays active for.

One thing they seem to have actually done different is the mechanics are extremely random. They are still phases, but it can do a lot of casts in totally random orders or even just choose some mechanics but not others depending on the pull. Maybe they have some pre-set patterns like usual but I didn't particularly catch on to one earlier.

Amen. Would be nice to have a little variation for endgame activities. Not like there are no other MMO's that do different things one could take inspiration from.
