Fruma Suggestions

So firstly, I think many people agree with me VFX were a good idea, they look nice and cool and all but for some players FPS is an issue already so adding these new VFX is a bit too much. I was playing on beta I tried the new raid and my FPS was very bad. So having an option to disable them (Not change to low/Medium etc...) would be very nice. About the new raid, it's very cool, I like the rooms and the ideas is cool. My issue with it is guild raids, they're way to hard. The first room, maybe make the light beam a bit bigger? Make the boss deal less damage or the sweep less damage, I think these changes could help. 2nd room, the shields are way too op, they respawn too fast and the fact that when 6/6 shields are up he gets 99% dmg reduction is bad. My suggestions are to make the shields spawn slower, 6/6 shields have around 90% dmg reduction. About the third room, I haven't played it in guild raid yet just because it's way too hard to get to it. (could be becuase of a skill issue but it's not the point) I hope this reaches you and you'll be able to change or think about some of these suggestions

 

The new VFX are better for performance than particles. Your FPS might've been suffering because the beta servers do not have as much resources dedicated to them as live does.

It's a Hard raid in the Hardest region of the game, it is intended to be difficult.
Shields used to only apply 80% DR to the boss at 6, but this was actually changed to its current value, but we raised it because it was deemed to be too easy.


If you or the people you're playing with just joined beta and are only testing the raid, and/or if you haven't updated your build, then you might as well be doing TNA with a build of purely level 80 items, and that could be why you are struggling.

 

Most of us had updated builds with the new armor (whatever you can use) I understand what you're saying about 80% being too easy but people will die and if one person stays alive it's near impossible to solo the boss at 99% DR when the shields spawn that often. About the VFX, I was wrong and it was an issue on my part also NA servers make it even worse for me but I'm sure it's going to be better when I have EU server. Still having an option to disable to VFX and/or go back to the old ones will be nice.

Also considering it's "The hardest raid" I feel like the rewards should be on par with the difficulty and not the same as other raids that are way easier.

 

Also I feel like I have to say this, by better rewards I mean more possible mythics (higher chance for mythics) maybe more LE.
The 120lvl Tomes and the other things like corkians are nice but these things are purchasable whereas mythic aspects which you have to grind raids, and this raid being much harder than the other ones and takes longer I think it should be more rewarding.

 

Also, Sry for complaining alot but I feel like the part where you bounce on the things to get to the cutscene should be skippable. (most people that I've spoken agree with me on this one and on the others)
