I'm definitely excited as a seasoned raider to see more fresh blood enter this game modes. I do hope there is a way to introduce new player into learning mechanics though rather than just auto completing things for them…
I'm not really that familiar with raid and strike mechanics. I know there are raid mechanics where the action or inaction of a single member of the group can wipe everyone in an instant. Eg Xera.
Are there any such mechanics in any strikes?
Hope they expand this to dungeons and to t1 fractals and possibly the other tiers down the line along with agony requirements to go to the next tier. The difficulty of finding a group for stuff has been this game's biggest problem since day 1 imo. I still haven't finished all the dungeon paths and have been playing since launch because it takes so long to find people for them, especially back in the day where i remember being rejected from groups because i play warrior.
Without seeing it in action, the only use i can see myself using it for is weekly shiverpeak pass for my pve weekly. Depending of course if queue time is faster then lfg lol. If there's no raid incursion event (like the fractal one) not sure if it'll be a significant boost to raids/strikes. I imagine it'll go up by 50% initially then settle to 25% more players afterwards. Will be interesting to watch in the coming months at the very least.
excited for the year of GW2
I wonder if we could use strikes content to also contribute to raid legendary acquisitions
We haven't got off this train since w8, and it's not stopping.
WE'RE SO BACKKKKKKKKKKKK
Got a friend who's just getting into raids but struggles to keep a constant schedule. So, having quickplay for him to do some easier encounters instead of committing to a static is great for him 🙂 Will definitely be queuing qp as a duo.
If it has a daily bonus like ff14's dungeon roulette, l might do it more
Huge. Bravo anet 👏
* boop for the open. Yes this is going to be awesome! Just need that queue sys to include heal+quick/ alac, quick/alac dps, and pure dps. And it will fit right in with lfg. Maybe condi dps for encounters designed with that in mind.
Really looking forward to being able to play all this hidden from lfg content. 🙂
hopefully i am not actually dreaming and all of this is true
wow
Super hype!!! I really hope they do the same thing for Fractals quickplay system, and not the LFG thing they are doing for the beta.
I am so hyped for this not gonna lie! 🙏
