These raids zone better be fucking huge because with instance saves you eliminate part of the reason EH gives guilds so many problems is that you can't do it in 45 minutes. Hopefully this means we will have encounters that take 3 days to learn due to the fact that you can just save and come back the next day.

There's a chance now that I'll get to sleep at a decent hour now. Tired? let's save game. I will miss the late night shit that always happens when everyone starts to get tired.

Good or bad the save game option will piss off the hardcore raiders... for a while until all of the sudden you have more people to choose from to raid that zone at odd hours.... Think about it, why do most casuals not raid? 2 Hours until bedtime? Yeah I can't go on a 4 hour raid. I think this will make filling up raids/raid forces SOOOO much easier. and as a casual/dedicated player I'll finally get to see some of the other raid content than the first 2 mobs in EH and 50 minutes worth of FTH. Coolest idea ever.

Im mixed. If they make the raid zones sufficiently hard and long (.ie EH) then it will be good. However if they make them short and easy it will let shit guilds spend forever on the encounter. Oh and they MUST have instance Reset if theyare gonna do this wow style.

Long, long overdue, IMO. Even EQ1 had state saved raids before EQ2 was released. It always boggled my mind why we regressed backward.

Contesteds will now be more interesting.

Yeah thats what I was thinking.. Either that or they are going to have a "raid schedule" like WoW does where instances reset on certain days..

avatar whatever is up
save instance, kill avatar returns to instnace
PHH is up
save instance, kill PHH returns to instance

or
clearing trash mobs in big zone
hey look timer is up in fast zone, save clear then come back

i think the hardcore guilds will love this locked out of every rok, eof and kos zone woots, and kill all contested

mendor bots are now useless?

casual guilds will still be stuck doing what they always do, except now the can save and just hammer at the named until they get the right mix or master the strat

so far i like this

This video looks friggin' amazing! Lotus just confirmed that the model Scott is using is in fact the PC model of the Sarnak. It is apparently changing on a daily basis and doesn't have many animations connected to it yet.

Persistent raids means that time isn't an excuse anymore, on the other hand :P
