Stayed up watching a twitch stream of a guy grinding for gear and preparing for the raid with his friends. They started at 11 and when i woke back up to go to school (at 6) they were still trying to beat the last raid boss. On the raid itself, its crazy. So much stuff was going on.. It was intense to even watch the guy play.
At one point there was a major boss that would spawn around the room, but as the boss is alive there are these things called oracles that if they stay alive too long they cover the screen in black and/or wipe out your entire team. If your screen became black you had to go to a teammate who was carrying The Relic and he has to cleanse you to remove the curse. Then the guy with The Relic has to super the shield off the major boss and everyone has to try and kill it. Throughout this whole process there are just level 28 enemies that just pour in around the room.. Also this was only the second phase of the raid..And people wanted matchmaking??
From what I saw, the raid heavily depends on teamwork. During the stream, the guys were splitting up to do different roles like kill the mobs or find and kill the oracle. After watching the stream, its laughable to think that the players who didn't have a team of six wanted matchmaking. They probably wouldn't had even made it past the first part.
