Rancor Simming
Question about Rancor Simming
Currently, my guild finished heroic Rancor in about 10 minutes. If you don’t start your run within that 10 minutes, you don’t log any damage. We have a 24 hour join window so people can still get rewards. Pretty much status quo for higher-end guilds.
With simming, how will the payout work? Will we have 24 hours to sim and then get the reward? Or will the raid end and start the hour to payout right after the first sim? I really hope they think about it and don’t give everybody 1-3 seconds to sim the raid.

I hope that’s the case. But if it is, cue the complaints of “why does everybody get the same rewards.”
If they do that, how would the reward structure work? Would everybody get first rank rewards? Or would it be randomized like the people that post 0 damage? I think everybody should get rank 1 rewards to make it fair, especially if it’s simmable.
They said everybody will get equal rewards. I would consider the chances of everybody getting rank 1 rewards extraordinarily low.
Everybody gets equal rewards, but they haven’t decided what the rewards will be. From the dev post:
We sometimes also field our five weakest toons followed by the next five and so on until it’s down.
The few individuals who don’t have 7* han can ignore the theme
As the rewards are basically pants it can be a fun way to keep engaging with pit
Yeah, they said that, and it’s kinda confusing. Not sure whether they meant the officers can decide whether or not to sim it for everybody, or that every player gets to decide whether to play it or sim it themselves. Why can’t they just write clear posts?
Logically this wouldn't make sense. You can't have the option to sim and battle it at the same time. How would that work?
Logically, the officer would choose prior to the launch of the raid whether or not to enable simming. Whether there is still a join period or whatever remains to be seen but honestly the way it should be done is at launch of raid, officer or leader chooses if it is sim raid or not.
If they choose sim, all players currently in the guild will receive rewards, raid over.
I think you’re right. This is what I said initially. But the dev post is vague and someone up above interpreted differently from how you and I did. How would it work? I have no idea! But CG has been notorious for turning something that should be simple into a total cluster.
I think the data mined arcade was grand arena. I want first place rewards for everyone as there will be a sim expense involved.
'Sorry, but too late, the raid has just ended...'
That is something that needs no clarification from them. The Pit rewards all run when the raid is finished so you couldn't have people just individually simming the Raid whenever they want and others running it. The guild officers will decide if the guild is running the raid or simming it. If it's being simmed, most likely it will be a feature that is turned on by the guild and the sim will run once the 24 hour join period expires. As it stands, most established players can solo this whole raid on auto so rankings are just totally random anyway. Simming is much better than people having to try to get in there in that tiny 10 minute window before it's over. This was a Road Ahead post, not patch notes for an update. Obviously there will be more detail when the feature is being released....I don't think they need to go into some detailed explanation of how it will work in a Road Ahead post...it's not like you can do anything with it until it's ready to go in an update and it's not like people are going to plan their rosters or farming around whether the Rancor raid is going to be able to be simmed. Patience is a virtue.
