[An Appeal to Bioware Regarding Operations Difficulty and Design]

If all you wanted was challenge and prestige, you'd be happy with titles. But no, you want a) better gear and b) to make sure the people with less time don't get the same gear.

 

That makes you poison for a game that's not focused on a few no-lifers.

 

Unfortunately, even the title timed runs are very easy, having been one-shotted by many guilds.

[An Appeal to Bioware Regarding Operations Difficulty and Design]

The drivel about wanting a challenge is just a smokescreen - those kind of players are not happy unless there's content only they can do with rewards only they can get. If everyone can get it they are not interested, no matter how challenging it is.

 

I'm afraid that's a fallacy (circular reasoning). If the content is challenging, then almost by definition not everyone can surpass it. Just thought it amusing.

OP /signed

[An Appeal to Bioware Regarding Operations Difficulty and Design]

Just read the OP. Well-thought out. A post I, and I'm confident much of the raiding community, strongly supports.

 

At it's core, we need more challenging encounters that take days/weeks, NOT hours, to complete on maximum difficulty 16m.

 

The bugs are similarly significant. However, there has clearly been a marked improvement between EV and Karagga in terms of bug prevalence. Just please don't lose your ambition for introducing interesting mechanics because you're afraid of creating a few bugs, devs! Soa is very buggy at the moment, but is probably the most interesting of the encounters so far (I personally also enjoy The Annihilator Droid and Karagga).

 

I would add further comment, but Jinga presented all the points my guild have been discussing for weeks very well.

[No more trys to fix Soa, please, just do THIS, seriously]

3 and 5 are not bugs.

 

People need to move away from ligthning balls, and the person blowing up needs not to hesitate when running into it. Easy if topped up.

 

As to Soa's throw, it's a raid mechanic. Of course it should kill people.

 

The others are VERY ANNOYING bugs indeed.

 

Don't forget invisible lightning balls and platforms disappearing!

[Quality management utterly fails on Soa]

Soa 16m NMM requires IMMEDIATE attention. It's far worse even than last week.

 

To add a 4th bug to the above list, Platforms are less likely to spawn than ever before...

 

A 5th is that lightning balls chase players during platform phases (and sometimes also go invisible). O, and sometimes 2 balls go after one player.
