So with the announcement of Raids I think it’s worth discussing the need for a Raid Leader or if there are any plans to counter hijacking parties.

Given that we already have abuse of this in both Dungeons & Fractals; People kicking 2 players from a near complete instance and either selling or inviting friends for the last few moments.

Are we going to have a Raid Leader type option in HoT?

The reason I ask for this.. is with the current system, 3 people can effectively kick an entire team. If the team is made up for 10 people, thats 7 spots that are potentially on the line.

Having a Raid Leader.. while this eliminates the option of a hostile take over (3 people joining and kicking the rest of the team) this inevitably allows a single person to do a similar thing.. however I think it’s probably safer for preformed groups to keep control over their own parties.


Workings~

I imagine a raid leader would be the person who formed the team.
They have the power to kick/invite/ban people from parties
They have the power to talk in an announcement (special chat everyone can see)
They have the power to mark enemies (1,2 3) sort of thing
They have the power to make a Vice Leader

Vice Leader

Power to Kick/Invite
Power to Mark
Power to talk in Announcement


Additional – Will we get a raid subsection added to the forums or is it just going to be lumbered in with the ever forgotten Fractal&Dungeon section?

I imagine raids being slightly too difficult for typical pugs at the launch. You’d be better with friends and guildies.

Just because it will be at launch, doesn’t mean that later down the line pugs wont be able to complete it.

You also have to remember there are still a lot of small guilds that have less than 10 members that play together. I myself only play with an exclusive group of 5 or 6 people. That means that for me myself, I will be looking for other people to play with in the coming months.

I’m sure others would agree, getting 50% into content only to be kicked by a trio of random guild members that joined to invite the rest of their guild would put you off attempting said content in the future.

But kicking requires majority vote to remove someone so I’d imagine you’d need atleast 6 ppl to get rid of someone in a raid.

Then you’re lucky because you need a majority of votes.

That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a proper Raid/Group leader system in place.Squads don’t cut it any more.They are so inferior.
