We are missing Content between Normal and Extreme. Wrong Audience for Chaotic

[Supersnow845]

An alliance raid for people who only do their roulettes and dailies where everyone can screw up is called normal mode, which dropped earlier this patch.



In your post you mention BA/Bozja which are normal difficulty content. If your point is that you want more exploratory zone content, I totally agree and that content is confirmed to be on the way.

If you're asking for them to bring back Hard mode however I would have to disagree. The current pipeline of normal/expert/alliance/extreme seems reasonable to me. If you can handle the latest alliance raid you should be able to handle an extreme. If you can't do that then you're not ready to move up. Creating a difficulty that is marginally different than normal isn't going to help that issue.

There can and should be content that sits between something like juneo and the current extremes, BA is an example from a difficulty perceptive (ie ignore its entry system), launch orbornne is, dalriada is, DRN is

If you still want to call that normal content that’s fine and I’d agree as it’s not that hard. But just because you can nearly sequester dal as casual and extreme as entry to hardcore doesn’t mean there isn’t still an ocean of potential content difficulty between dal and extremes

Yet the Extremes are ways and bounds more often than not in terms of difficulty compared to Alliance Raids. As a reminder: people praised the Althyk and Nymeia fight. Why? Because of a soft enrage timer. That was the one thing people liked and it felt 'challenging' on content to have something like that. However, we don't get that in our other Alliance Raids - ever. Only in that one instance has an Alliance Raid had an enrage at all. In all other content: Normal, Normal Raids, Expert? We don't get those. Regardless, unless you have a bridge to EX you aren't going to get them even potentially wanting to go to Savage Raids or higher; which is still on the player to decide what they're comfortable with.

Nobody praised a fight with an 8 minute enrage timer when a below average group could kill it in about 3 minutes
