    The Foundry

    With the details now leaked about the upcoming Raid, it’s beginning to sound a helluva lot like Dragon’s Nest with an added mixture of propane, poison and ground shaking lol.

    Better start on those 92% Hazard Protection builds, agents, we are going to need them.

    Damn I miss my 6-piece Reclaimer support station right about now.........

    Honestly curious, wonder if they will change matchmaking or not and release a discovery version at the same time

    I'm glad I have the sawyers neepads, I'm finishing up hazard build and healer just for this raid. Not looking toward the toxic raid groups though. Two biggest thing that peev me during a raid are sweats yelling people are trash in mic while boasting about how they are carrying the group and those who remain silent about not knowing what to do even even you go out of way to help people learn mechanics. I'm always willing to help teach freshies.

    I mean there will be parts that will require DPS obviously, i'm just afraid of what they said many many streams ago like making something that is only damageable by skills, that would just a the same situation but with skills of everyone running a skill build because one demands it.

    Dps will always be king, as it should be. That being said, the raid is supposed to be more puzzle heavy. I assume that means there will be more room for other roles. Tanks with max hzp and crowd control will probably be more important in keeping the dps core alive.

    Now if only they would quit dragging out the release... i'm guessing it drops right around the time they start trying to sell the season passes... the y1q3 raid used to sell y2 passes... that should tell you what their content pipeline looks like.

    Really?

    I am not sure about that anymore. Right now the legendary missions are way harder than the normal dark hours raid. The devs proved they could do MM with the discovery portion of the last raid. Gear has been simplified severely to the point that anyone can recreate a build they see posted from a YouTuber. There is no more DTE or other talents to farm except the chest and backpack. Exotics armor and other gear are quite powerful now as are gearsets. Gear score and the actual value of a piece are closer in line. You can tell how powerful you are a lot easier now and cover the power gap.

    I have my own reasons for not liking matchmaker and I have pretty much laid them out. Still, I can't honestly think of a legitimate reason to not do it on this raid.

    Even if you are just kidding with people. There isn't much of a reason this time to not have MM for this raid.

    He was being facetious.

    I'm sure there will be - the coding issues preventing them from doing so in the first one should be sorted by now.
