Raid ID & Getting Saved

#0 - Feb. 10, 2009, 12:35 p.m.

Just read a Blue tagged post on the US forums about a guy who got tricked into going to Naxxramas under the impression it was a Full Run/Full Clear/No Bosses Dead etc. The summon he got took him into Sapphs lair and he was immediately saved.

Now I haven't been "tricked" into this but It's happened to me where the leader of a raid forgot he'd cleared Archavon and got 9 other people saved to an empty instance. It was quite frustrating and I wasn't able to raid Archavon for that reset.

So i guess what i'm asking is;

1) Anyone else have this problem?
2) Suggestions/Are there any ideas in the pipeline to combat this, more people will start realising they can trick others into a saved instance and then those people are basically forced to comply or waste their ID for that week.

Yes, there have been discussions with the development team about this. Due to the vast amount of feedback we have received from players about Raid IDs and how they’re distributed, plans have been set in motion to see this side of things improved to avoid players being saved to an existing instance.

It is safe to say that whilst no specifics can be said on the matter, we certainly all agree that things need to be revised with regards to Raid IDs. It’s unlikely we will see changes to this in 3.1, but we will of course provide more details as and when they’re known.
