Remember when raids were fun?
We complete the new Heroic Sith Raid in less than an hour, but god it sucks. Great graphics, but worse than Rancor to stomach.

Well here's a new complaint.
Sheesh.
I agree with you about Nihilus. He's not a lot of fun in any way. Random Annihilate usage, causing a restart occasionally, the protection drain/regen making it so a lot of your damage doesn't count.. It's just pure frustration on about every level.
Sion is just a boring slab of meat to beat on, but I guess some people might enjoy that.
P3 Traya is okay, yeah, I don't see much issue with that one. Fairly okay design.
P4 is where I check out.
Phase 1 Nihilus is fine if you only attempt it with a strong JTRey team. But in our guild, if you're not around within an hour of launch, you could miss phase 1, as those teams can do 8%+ with decent rng.
Honestly, just like all other raids its not horrible once you get an idea what works and what doesn't. Also like other raids, the strongest guilds are going to have to start putting damage caps on or 24 hour "0 damage" rule.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

I'm not sure if I feel bad for them, or just feel bad in general as a result.
*Raises hand* That is one very busy hour. Sucks for anyone who has a P.O. during that time, dinner, work, a life.
I’m glad my guild purposefully splits the raid into two days with extra restrictions on how many teams can be used.
Yes, I feel sorry for HD Wolfpack.
If that's what you're doing, you're doing it wrong.
I think we're talking about HAAT at HSith, not Rancor. That's exactly what it is....and how you do it.

It’s a tough life for sure, but I always feel just a tad worse for the guilds that tank in TW and still struggle to clear someone’s board. The struggle is real for Alpha Squad too. Enjoy the extra restrictions! To each their own!
lol ok, you are right. Sometimes your best cannot even make it to enrage.
It's a good thing the separatists did not produce many of those B2 Rocket Troopers, because they would have won the war with all the abuse they can take.
(assuming it's bugging because too many players are chipping away at traya at the same time)
Still sounds like you need a different HAAT squad.
- this is difficult and new and I hate it
- oh yeah, we beat it!
- this is fun! we're clearing heroic regularly and I have more team comps I can use
- this is such a chore, why won't CG make it simmable?
repeat
Sounds like the Wolfpack is a little salty that they almost lost to a 20mil gap in GP
This is the exactly, polar opposite of fun. EA and CG are of course well aware that players are using this airplane mode workaround, and could have anticipated that this would be the response to having no retreat option built in. But that would require prioritizing player satisfaction over revenue-generating frustration.
If the people in your guild have different goals and the guild can't manage the varying goals, it's gonna break up. The content may be the accelerant, but it's not the cause.
You should switch guilds with the OP
Joking aside, once your guild has cleared 2 or 3 HSR's, clearing won't be an issue anymore. I highly doubt any guild that has done more than 3 HSR's expects their members to keep mod swapping. Once it has gotten to the point where the OP is at now (way sooner than that actually), you don't even have time to retreat and try again because the phases fly by. You snooze, you lose the oppertunity to do dmg in that phase.
Also, there is a build-in retreat mechanisme ingame. The only "issue" with said system is that you can only retreat during your own turn. That's why people use airplane mode, to not get caught of guard and being whiped before you had the chance to retreat. Not sure if you knew that, but judging by your comment you didn't. I personally only use airplane mode with NS in p4 and still almost never have to restart the game because i have i could retreat before my team got just fine. The abilty to retreat during enemy turns would have been nice, but if we're being honest it would only be usefull in very rare ocasions.
Not really related to the topic, but I was in DS TB yesterday, final wave, and my NS were down to Acolyte and Zombie. A bunch of HR Scouts in the battle with varying amounts of TM. One kills zombie, they all gain 50% TM. The next one goes, kills zombie, they all gain 50% TM. Repeat over and over. I watched it for about five minutes for the entertainment factor, then I force crashed.
Long way of saying I wish you could pause the game and retreat, just for these kinds of situations.
hahahaha. I watched that to the bitter end.
The person who made that vid did us a favour by not making it last 20min, we would have been glued to our screens for that long instead of just the 2min xD
Airplane mode isn’t a workaround.. the retreat option that you speak of is very different than being able to start over.. the only “retreat” mode that is different in this raid is the ability to conserve toons, not the ability to start a run over.
What would be a nice function to have though, a really really nice function that would make all players happy @CG_Kozispoon is an in game restart button. Instead of going back to “choose a team” and replay a short scene.. if we could just restart with the same team right away.. cuz a lot of us ARE having to retry 20 times.. that’s just how the raid is
