raids and the time you need
Hey guys.
i had a little conversation with our raidleader earlier and i just bring it up.
As far as i understand you have a weekly reset on your raid ID right?
So how should this work once more raids and wings get released?The thing is (actually something good) GW2 has no GearUP system. You wont get better gear and do OP dmg like in other mmo so you can just run a raid in an hour or so. You will prob do more or less the same dmg in 5 months then you do now. so bosses wont die much faster. Sure people get used to the encounter but at some point you cant get any faster.
Now the 1 Week ID is fine for the current state of the raid but what about if the other will be released. say we have like 4×3 bosses and the average+ group will take around 2 hours per boss, some faster some just take more time just because they wont get that much easier over time once you know how the boss works as the gear stays the same.
thats 12×2 hours resulting in a 24h playtime to complete the entire raid. thats next to impossible to realize for most people as you also need to consider things like: everyone needs to be online at the same time.
you get it.
So, i really dont want the bosses to be easier by any means but (if its allready possible let me know) what about the feature to expand the ID like you can do in other games aswell. So for example your raid managed to kill 5 bosses this week and want to continue to progress so you can just expand it at the cost of the first 5 bosses you loose the loot on but you can continue at your current location without redoing 5 bosses only to get to the point you dont have enough time afterwards to try the next ones.
bosses wont be easier that way at all but people with a little time can still do the entire raid without a 1 week timer.
As far as I understood, every wing counts like an own, seperate raid. So you can start at any wing you want.

well if this is the case, fine
do you have any link on that btw? thank you
If you don’t have enough time to do ALL raids, just focus on one! One you particularry like, one you havent ever beaten yet, a different raid every week. I really don’t see the problem here.
What about the Ley-Rifts? I thought they were installed to skip bosses after you have done them, so you can just travel to the boss you want to train on. Or are they only accessible when a certain boss was killed within that week and you can only rush to the next available rift?
Took me 3 runs of the dungeon to get the bug.

tankfully you cant do that. this is just a waypoint system so if your sitting at the last boss you dont need to run all the way back to the repairstation and then run all the way back to the boss. i guess some people still dont get my point i think. personally i dont even care if you just have 1 week to clear the entire raid but you need to think of the fact that 99,9% of the placer care about that and the mayoritiy of the playerbase it what counts in the end because arenanet wont pay their bills from those 5 guilds who run the raid within one day. and the suggestion that you can just leave it as that and well you can just do one wing per week then or do your favourite one this wont solve problems for smaller guilds either who rely on everyone to be online for example.
