StationOfbarny: We went from Dhuumscrolling to Dhuumflapping

yanchinga: i hope they make a dungeon quickplay

Djynni: It's like they had an Easy list and a Hard list and someone put the wrong list in that article

xStryphe93: Was hoping for another piece of a legendary armor like the Fractals quickplay :(

reson8: I'm anticipating a lot of tears from the quickplay raids.

joyboy6067: we take his scyte,his helmet now we make him as mount,my man cant catch a break at this point i dare Anet to make sabetha as mount

brawlercaeryck3913: I want them to doing a quick play with dungeons

Tukotaga2024: New Raid boss could be a crab... new ring has crab* graphic.. hmm

sand9577: I will become a Raid God. I must make everyone know I am a toxic elitist.

rikitube-p4k: Considering just how extremely approachable the fractal quickplay made fractals, I can see that list being tuned much easier than their normal encounter, while hopefully preparing you for experiencing it in a normal mode. I'm excited for this

Insig385: being able to switch to a diff raid wing/encounter without having to exit is huuuuuge!!!

I am a little sad that its now guaranteed you'll miss full wing experience though, I doubt anyone would run the wings as they were intended anymore, loosing the vibe, and definitely nevermind on seeing the story from earlier wings that had exclusive story. Hopefully ppl still run full wing for older encounters just cuz used to it lol

not having roles at all for the quickplay is also a bit wild - especially with that list with boneskinner and olc

TheZerothbase: it's almost like they chose encounters that will be the most helpful for them getting the most information on balancing and how the beta is going rather than just 'throw the easiest strikes in there' which can already be done pugging with very little thought to group comp...

KHfanz: Just wanted to mention, the only reason healers are needed for Boneskinner is because players actively ignore the torch mechanic for bone skinner.

If you actually relight the torches as they get extinguished and kill the wisps trying to douse the flames the fight becomes stupidly easy, with basically just needing to avoid the tickle fingers.

attemptcreativity: I love the list idea I'm actually really intimidated by strikes.Because I can never find where i'm supposed to go

MatLinnett1: lol, old Lion's Court easy?

GaryTaro45: what a surprise, no Shiverpeaks Pass and the polar bears at quickplay?

Rejendji: This is exactly what I hoped they wouldn't do.

Why do we need another seperate feature that doesn't improve the existing system and just add another layer to existing content?

Anet chose to leave and even promote the different roles in group play, so why can't we choose it? It could've been an easier to understand group finder and also would've removed a lot of the entry barrier for new players, while also making the search for groups and specific roles easier and faster for old players.

micheljolicoeur6094: Thank you for your thoughts, have not done Strikes or Raids in GW2 before.

kennethvannorwick3557: I’m looking forward to this raid finder system. I play at weird times, so it is not always easy to group up. Plus, I’ll get to farm for raid legendary armor. Excited!!

JuanDiegoSolisMadrigal: It is time for my Raid Legendary Accesory!!

iFlu: OLC is so hard to explain, I'm pretty sure no one knowing the fight will look for group for it

themoose89tujtuytu: This seems like a really underwhelming update. Just rename strikes and stick them in a quickplay. If they were gonna do a quickplay feature with extra buffs to help, they should have added raid wings. That way it give people a chance to practice the encounter before giving the real one a try.

ogrejd: Here's hoping that doing the encounters individually will have a total reward that's less than doing the entire wing in the more traditional manner.

timritter8677: So excited about this update! Looking forward to doing a bunch of raiding again after a break for a couple of years.

odin13th76: This looks ok on papper, but seems too hard to implement compares to the fractal quickplay. How its described right now i doubt id ever use it. Maybe just when its strike weekly for wizard vault, but...that would be an expensive overhaul if the majority of casuals ended up useing it that way. Will still che k it out a day 9r two after release and see how it goes though, but with no raids in the quickplay i dont see how it will get ppl into raiding.
