Raid "locked" feature should not exist.

Hi,

I totally agree , this is the main goal of an MMORPG, play together, help people.. No ?

In your dreams, never met such a load of toxic players as in this game.

I agree, Feature should not exist in this form nor require you to actually grind for a buff that removes that restriction.

+ this feature should not exist

The regular dungeon system makes sense. The raid lock out system is complete garbage. Even if, Big If, someone wanted to pay to be carried through the dungeon, you still have an RNG wall to hurdle to gain any real benefit from looting the bosses.

It really makes not sense to do this in a game that was supposed to be about being social, as they stated.

Let people run it endlessly for 0 loot. Why not?

Since we have the pro mentor flag system ingame, a quick fix for the Western market would be , remove the ONE TIME purchase only restriction mentor pro buff flag from the Mentor npc trader. RIght now you can only buy the buff/flag ONES.

So the one-time purchasable item isn't permanent?

Can somone simply tell us how it works so we KNOW what happens? Will be greate!

I was under the impression you get the 600 points from mentoring.... then you get the pro mentor buff... the +28 fortune one.
Then you can do whatever with whomever, acting as a mentor for that group.
That said you still can't get any loot that way or anything, so don't expect to farm drops like this. It's purely to help other players.

If you want your friend to help you, I'd advise you to become their apprentice so that you can help them rank up as a mentor faster, and then they can do normals with you and hards with you and PvP with you and get the pro mentor buff that much quicker.

So I asked arround a little: The Mentor buff only works for 7 days. The 3.5k mentor Ticket and 200 gold flag lasts forever.

How would anyone know this for sure?

Everything about the system lead me to believe it would reset when everything else resets. I'll be interested in knowing for sure when the server comes back up.

It'll last for 7 days. Then you do 600 more points worth of Jade Helper scroll stuff, and get another 7 day buff. This is how I assumed it would work, and would fit the theme of just about everything else in this game that resets on a weekly basis.

Just as an update... Jade helper did reset.

So collecting another 600 points here would lead me to believe you can get another 7 day pro mentor buff, which you can then use to help whomever with whatever raid you'd like.

We don't play the same game haha

I still don't get why the mentor farming stuff just to be able to re-run the raid ?

I mean what does that achieve as a gamedesign goal ?

There's a million other way to incentivize the mentor system : more parchment, gold, titles, name icons, etc ...

We've also been looking into making raid lockouts work more like their dungeon counterpart, more on that in the update notes.

Whatever they do they should do it fast :D. I don't know how this made it to the western market but I think everyone would know thats a bad idea to implement :).
