Guild Wars 2

Hi All,

Current Raid Reset Time: Monday 08:30 UTC. (This is Monday in the Americas, EU, Asia, & Oceanic zones.)

Okay- so I know this seems crazy but wouldn’t it be better for this to be Friday?

Why ?
This would mean the group could get together to Raid over the weekend (across multiple time-zones as a guild).

What is currently happening is multiple groups are forced to RAID over the week – leaving many individuals who can only get on during the weekend for the RAID missing out as others have done it during the week.
FYI – I play on a NA Server (EU Timeslot) – waiting for the weekend for any Raid to play with guildies in the US/EU at a time we can meet up.

I know ANET currently has the reset time on Mondays so they can do something or other (support them ?- but this time is like really late Sunday night or something for them in PDT?).

Your thoughts !

How well does the current raid reset time work for you all – could it be better ?

It’s the worst possible time. It should be Friday evening like when WvW reset used to be.

Ye- I could live with a late UTC 23:59 Fri reset. That would work reasonably well – at least we could all meetup then at 14:00 UTC Sat (10 am EST/2pm EU) to try a co-ordinated run together with guildies.

Yeah its terrible right now. Everyone who raids during the week are token capped by the time weekend comes so they get no reward at all for helping guildies who couldn’t raid on week days.

To add to the arguments for a friday night reset:

Not everyone has 6+ hours to practice on a weeknight.
Given I’ve heard anything from 6-30 hours to beat the vale guardian..

It is quite disheartening to try for maybe 1-3 hours, knowing full well your group won’t have enough time to practice and beat just one boss, even if you yourself know how to and have successfully beaten it.

Chuck into that mix: different players each night due to schedule clashes, and the time to actually get 10 players who are even geared up to take part. Then getting a partially new squad into the right rhythm to beat a boss.

I think 40-50% of the time it took us to beat VG was organising a squad tbh.
