Einsof.1457 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Strikes 👏don't 👏replace👏the👏raid👏 experience. Strikes are one off fights with no feeling of adventure or purpose. I want to go on an adventure with my friends. We need wing 8 and Anet is doing a gross disservice to the players who enjoy challenging 10 man content. We need another raid wing.

Obtena.7952 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) There is a thick wall on this echo chamber. Apparently nothing gets in as well as out. The hints are pretty evident people. Try taking one. Anet are giving them out for free. Edited February 15 by Obtena.7952 4 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumboJumbo.1308 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Anet will release another Raid once more people play the original raids. Lol not hard to understand 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol not hard to understand Well since raids are repeatable pretty sure each penny spent on them have paid back more then each living story episode if you see to dollar spent and how long people played each content. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What??? Just because someone repeats the content that doesn't mean X amount of players that haven't played raids have now played raids. Or that the amount of times the content has been repeated therefore means it's worthwhile to spend money on to produce. That don't make no sense. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that the content raids for the dollars they cost to produce they have paid for themselfs over the years in a higher % then any living world episode. Sure less people play raids then living story episodes but they cost less and the replay of the each week adds up over the years. I have for example not replayed any season 2 episode after I got all the achievments from the but still play w1-7 each week to this day. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great that the content paid for itself due to how replayed it is. This doesn't mean that anet is going to wait however many years just to get a pay off from it from the few players that consume that content. If more of the gw2 population plays raids the more likely anet is willing to spend money on producing raids. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtena.7952 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) I don't think anyone should try to justify the raids based on their ASSUMPTIONS about how much they have made or lost money for Anet. There ARE some good points being made here that even if Raid did make them money, the payback time is also a factor. I am willing to speculate that revenue and payback time are not the only factors that determine the current lack of raid development. It's stunning how hard it is for some people to accept the situation. I have forgotten how many years it's been since a raid was released ... over 3 now? Move on people.

More content is always better so if we can justify to Arena Net why there should be new Raid Wings i sure they will follow through.

The question isn't if more content is better ... of course it is. That goes without saying. The question is why that 'more content' should be raids instead of something else.

I mean now with the mini expansions that focus on different things there is no reason they cant do a raid focused mini expansion and see if it is profitable or not. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the reasons are that raids a no longer developed don't go away just because they are packaged as a mini-expansion. I mean, sure, Anet could dip their toe in the water to see the temperature for raid appetite again ... but not having mini-expansions doesn't stop them from doing that for the last 3 years either. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It make raiders put the money down for content they want + none raiders cant say development time was spent on raids and we had to pay for it tho. And if it is not profitable enough for resources spent they can finaly tell everyone that so the raids can go the way of dungeons. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Raid believers are funny.

Krzysztof.5973 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Raids have died with release of a first strike. The obvious trend right now is half-everything. Right now we are getting half-expansions. If you want good raid content, play other games. GW2 does not deserve your time if that's what you want to play. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs aren't going waste time and money on creating more raids for a "small audience". I would just enjoy your strikes until those are stopped being developed as well.
