Like the title says; when are we getting a new top lvl raid?

all the rumors i have been hearing says there is NO new raid in the next update. We have not had a Raid added since Mod 9, 4-5 updates now something like 9 months.

Don't get me wrong all the other fluff that has been added is kinda nice i guess but DEVS it's time! NEW RAID PLS.

Well we got the new Pirate raid in the last update. All you have to do to access it is complete the Update4 quests on Epic and then go see the zombie druid in the Druid's Circle who will give you access to the raid.

I can haz new raid?

Please, people like raiding a ton--I don't even need anything from the Epic raids on most of my capped alts and I still run 3 or 4 a night to just to be with my friends,, but they raids are getting quite boring.

Maybe add a new Raid to the Reaver Refuge area?

An old raid made Epic won't be exciting enough.

When's the Dracolich going to poke his/her head out at us that you mentioned in the before time, in the long long ago?

Yes, please don't epic old content and call it new.

Epic is interesting and can be fun but in no way does it substitute for new content. Not even close.

I think all of us except the super casual players who never get a guy above 12th level and the very new players want this. That said, when do I think we will get it? Probably around the time when all the other raids have been made epic already and the developers are told by the marketing people that sales of low level packs are falling off. In other words, I'm not holding my breath.

No, that's when they introduce "Super-Duper Epic" :D

That would be cool....
I'd rather run afoul of the Archons first though :D

hell no, none of my weapons would work. :)

takes place after ToD. Since the fall of Horoth, the demons have taken more territory and we side WITH Aaritreokos, who's now in charge, to preserve the balance. he then stabs us in the back and in the final raid we get to kill him for good. Maybe TWO raids one versions the demons then back on harry. Possibly some Demonic upgrades to Greensteel?

That's what I'd do if I were the DM . . .

Exactly :D.

Actually, a Mineral 2 would bypass any DR. It would just miss out on bonus damage. And most other Greensteel weapons would bypass lesser good creature's DR.
Since they're all Evil aligned.

That's what I'd do if I were the DM . . .

Only if either:
1) Greensteel upgrades are changed to cap at 2 ranks, and this just puts the 3rd rank upgrade back in, at ML 20.
2) They give us greensteel handwraps.
3) Both.

I agree we need some new raids. I had to take a break after 4 years of fairly regular play. I couldn't take re-running all the old stuff for the millionth time. Epics can be fun, but getting the items is insane grind.

I'd love to see a couple new raids with new flagging quests. I need a break from devils. We've seen a lot of those at end-game.

I'll come back to check out the airships when they come out. I'll even run the new quests once. But I doubt I'll be a regular player again until there's quite a bit that's new to do.

Why can't we just get Tempests Spine Epic? That's my favorite raid.

/scoffs at Grodon.

No, just no. Not as it is. It could easily be a mid-level explorer area, but when was the last time you or anyone else stopped to kill everything outside the caves? I don't think I've ever seen it done in almost four years. Why bother?

If they expanded the area to about the size of the Vale, put several other quests in there, perhaps a chain of raids starting at the lowbie side and moving up to cap off at TS, maybe. I would not count on it ever happening. We've been screaming for more TS style casual no-flag no-timer raids for a long time, and we haven't gotten any and aren't likely to.

Fixed that for you.

OP: In Update 5 Turbine is going to release a bunch of new 6-man raids! And as an extra bonus each 6 man raid is going to feature Turbine’s patented “No Grind & No Waiting™”* raid repeat mechanic! Imagine it! A 6 man raid with NO RAID TIMER! :D

*Note that since Turbine does not like redoing old content the “No Grind & No Waiting™” mechanic will ONLY apply to 6-man raids.
