Has any guild beat the normal raid yet?
We are on day 6 and are only halfway through. We are a mix of ftp and a few small whales. Did they really design this raid to be completed by a regular guild in over a week?

Why are more completing the harder of the two? That seems backwards.
Because the harder one has lower health, so is generally actually easier.
Heroic is both easier and harder. Once you have enough of a roster to complete heroic (same thing happened with the Rancor raid) it is way easier (lower health) and much better rewards. Only whale guilds (or whale guilds that pull in the top 50 players across all guilds) have the depth of roster to attempt the heroic Tank Takedown. Apparently there are at least 35 of them.
It's also a time issue. With the higher HP on the normal, it is taking that much longer to complete. By the end of the week we'll see those numbers shift to more normal completes as the top guilds (not 100% whale) are finally able to beat the normal raid.
So if your guild has not affected by bug, it would on an average going to take 8-10 days easily.

Can anyone honestly give a real answer as to the logic for having that big of a discrepancy? Its the same problem with the T6 in rancor vs t7. T7 should have 2x the HP that it does. when we are all 85, this content will be played out again, way too soon.
CG had their chance to fix all the problems with the rancor raid...nothing changed and they made something completely worse...I'm still in shock I think. I want to throw them a bone, but how could they think this is remotely healthy for the game?
I think the raid tiers serve different purposes. Tier 6 is supposed to take a while, so people can practice different toons.
I assume that was for me. So you are ok with the approach of only the large guilds with 50 big rosters can complete a heroic raid, without strategy, only zerging but 95% of the players need to slowly slog through 4x the HP for less rewards, less frequently? As if to say the gap between the top 1-2% and the bottom 3-100% of guilds isn't big enough?
this is a joke lmao good thing they took that extra 2 month delay to test and refine this new raid, I see that time was put to good use
Personally, I wonder if EA cares about f2p players at all. If their goal is to stay in business, it is well within their best interest to reward the whales. If I were a whale (I am not), I would be furious that f2p players compete with me at all. I may just take my disposable income elsewhere.
This reason is exactly why the p2p model is terrible for the video game insustry.
Now saying that, I'm not sure that the current target for normal tier is correct. The best that anyone in my guild has scored on P2 is 460k. If the numbers above are correct, it would take 166 teams to clear P2 (76500000/460000 for those not mathematically inclined). So it would mean each member would need over 3 teams that could do that amount of damage (166/50 members in each guild). And that's if the 460k is the average that everyone can score (it's not...at least in my guild).
I don't have a problem with a challenge. And I don't mind having something to build toward. But this seems a bit more than a reach CURRENTLY. Of course, we all said similar things when the Rancor first came out as well.
Not true. I don't remember thinking anything similar, and a quick search of the forums for the week surrounding initial release, there were few such complaints. Of course there *were* complaints, but more about bugs than difficulty. Possibly because if a tier was too hard you could just do an easier one, and still participate while figuring it out.
That's just insane! We are on Day 3 of the normal AAT raid and we are almost done with Phase 1.
Some please tell me these other phases allow you to rack up damage faster than Phase 1 or I don't know how long our guild is going to be doing this raid!
Ps CG/EA anger and or frustration is not an attribute you want people to say about an element of your game!?!
P2 allows for some big numbers, but only with some really top level modded up teams. Also it has more than double the HP of P1. Enjoy!
As an estimate, how many days did it take your guild to clear Phase 1 vs Phase 2? Just trying to figure out a time estimate.
