![]() There would be no more single giant raid bosses where you have 20-40 men whacking away at it for 30 minutes, instead you would have many smaller single group bosses, it would require coordination and movement, no more standing in one spot the whole time spamming a button. There would be a plethora of strategic options, would you try getting the objective? or would you try to get to their ship and ambushing them on the way out? would you rush to the security room and use the ships defenses against them? or would you just send your whole raid at them to try and drive them off? I also thought it could have a really cool tie in with PvP, imagine you just board the ship and begin clearing, when you hear over the intercom ∺ second ship has boarded us! on the starboard side! be on alert! then it becomes a race to the objective, and somewhat of a capture the flag mission, you getting to the target and escaping with it. Be it the ship activating its self destruct or your target jumping in an escape pod and leaving. So that there is some added pressure and excitement they would be timed so that you dont have raids lasting hours to appeal of the casual gamer. There are a lot of other class possibilities as well. As in my previous example you have slicers you have your diplomat who would try and settle the conflict without combat(for non sith raids) you would have your charismatic entertainer type profession(if they have one) trying to talk her way into getting maybe a passkey or maybe the location of whatever your looking for or even maybe you could convert him to your cause and he would join your group almost like a second companion character for the mission. Raiding would not just be kill everything there would be a multitude of non combat capabilities. Once completed though he will have the ability to open and lock doors, hell be able to go through the security cameras and find what youre looking for, and have access to defense turrets and gas rooms, being able to disable or use them on the sith themselves. Just clearing it though isnt that simple, you have to have a skilled enough slicer with you, its not just a simple click and done task either, the slicer will have to work his way through a series of tasks through a lack of better words mini-game. You call your commander and report your situation, he relays the command to all available squads to look for a security room to unlock the door. As you travel through the halls you come to a sealed door that cant be cut through with your handy dandy jedi. But its not that simple, every corridor is filled with sith assassins and other military types, maybe a few sith tamed creatures if your lucky. Your raid of twenty splits off into squads of 5, and begin to spread out searching the ship looking for, prisoners/convicts/stolen plans/intelligence/some valuable object. The rest of your men, man the turrets with your captain steering the ship.Īfter an epic battle and the sith fleet destroyed the real fun begins when you begin boarding. Your best pilots jump into their respective ships in the hangar and head off to be greeted by a squad of Sith pilots. As you come out of hyperspace and begin to close in on the ship. You all jump into your guilds carrier/cruiser type ship and head off, your target? that Sith Destroyer cruiser that has been spotted around said planet. Imagine you have your twenty men sitting in your guilds hangar organizing for the up-coming raid when time finally comes. How do you spend your time once you reach that max level? How do you see raiding implemented into The Old Republic? I love being in that elite group of players who are known server wide. I love that not every single person you run into is able to pull it off. I love the difficulty, skill and coordination required to raid. Hope you enjoy!įor me, the real game starts when I hit the level cap, and can begin raiding. This is my first article and I want it to be what got me noticed here. ![]() Hello everyone my name is Darth Kraze and Im from California, and an avid MMO enthusiast.
