Guardian Raids are the worst daily ever

[iSven✅]

It depends too much on 3 randoms. I know boss mechanics, skills and I get 1-2 potato players who lose all lives in 3 minutes. It's unbelievable

[ApathicAlpaca]

Well you gotta be really unlucky on most guardians for that to happen. There are a few you should only do once (for 1st time chest) and then skip, rather do the earlier ones than wasting your time on them with randos.
Fiery Fox. White Lion with its shield. Velganos. Possibly Maokai (tree dude) and one or two others. Especially the extremely anti melee ones basically. They are pure frustration with randos.
The rest is quite OK to be honest.

Some people don't like using pots, for people that don't die sure fair enough, but they're also generally over geared. Issue is when people that can't go through the fight without dying don't use it, that cascades, they die, respawn, die again, repeat, and now you've got no safety net. Dps drops and everyone else is forced to use pots because one or more people refused. Really just need a system where pots don't rely on critical or time consuming resources.

Events and one time rewards really skew things, but guardian raids are pretty much the main source of leapstones, so unfortunately can't really avoid them unless you want to take a hit to your honing.

If I have greedy noobs in grp I /escape and play alt (or main) for 20 mins. They all learn. Eventually.

You can solo it if you don't wanna party with friends.

its just going to get worse as the progression in game gets faster that means people spend less time in Tier 1-2 and go straight to tier 3 with garbage skills and no knowledge of anything.

had a teammate that somehow died 3 times to Tier 3 Yoho who is for all intense and purpose a joke.

cant wait till the complains come in for Argos and velganos being too hard in the upcoming weeks.

I usually do raids and abyss with people I know from my previous game. We also use VC since it is easier to communicate. I avoid doing high level abyss with randoms as much as possible.

If you are a god in this game just solo them.

[Kernel Cinders]

Stick to soloing materials yourself otherwise you run into the problem of having your time and resources wasted. If you're not playing alts then that's on you for ignoring the design of the game. ^ ^

Most T1 460 and 960 ranges are worst than any other guardians at T3 or respective tier.

The 4th one is always bad regardless of tier.

100% this ^

The guardians with mechanics can be a real trainwreck in pugs sometimes. I didn't do any of the difficult ones on my alts. I stuck to doing the easy ones like the turtle.

Like ApathicAlpaca said get one clear on the difficult ones so you can access the next level of raids and then go back to one of the ones without mechanics.

[Echorion]

I just hate how they are a long slog of wailing on these things with SO much health it takes a while- then you have to do it again, and then 2 more times per alt you have.

I wish they would double the rewards and make it only one a day. It would make it more enjoyable.

I actually haven't even played in a week because I got tired of just doing the same things over and over with nothing new to do.

[sanjia]

If you really knew the mechanic and your char, you could easily pull 2 people along, no matter what ilvl you have.!

[MrHustler]

I can understand if you are in T1 are T2 was hard as hell but T3 is easy mode for Raids it's a Joke!

The T3 guardian raids we're currently seeing are the easy ones if you take the design approach for T1 and T2 into consideration. The first 4 T1 bosses are easy. That is followed by 4 hard T1 bosses. Then you have 4 easy T2 bosses followed by 4 hard T2 bosses.

It seems that the second half of each tier has the more challenging guardian boss designs.
