Scoedt left a comment on the SHIELD Q&A – Eldar Run:
“I think one part of reason for the departure from can be seen in the transcript at question #19, “Raids are an order of magnitude larger and are vastly more risky than anything else. They are definitely on a level all their own”.
The part of that I want to focus on is the use of the RISKY. I imagine Turbine is well aware of the difficulties they have had in recent years producing instances that don’t get hindered by bugs or rendered outright unplayable by them.
-Draigoch bugging out in multiple ways (My static groups rarely saw this, but when I joined pugs, it was frequent).
-Flight to the Lonely Mountain rendered unplayable by many by lag spikes upon spawns of groups of adds is another.
-Neither were resolved quickly, leaving raiders very fustrated at being unable to utilize the new raids. Additionally,
-Flight to the Lonely Mountain closed by Turbine due to numbers of people exploiting a loophole left in it.
-1st age symbol drops repeatedly assigned in locations where they later said they intended 2nd age symbol awards.
-Big Battles were not warmly received by the raiders who feel unable to perform their class roles there.
I reiterate all of the to point out that Turbine, while not in a position to discuss it, is obviously well aware of their track record in recent years in the development and deployment of raids. It it … not great. But they know they can make landscape quests with a much lower rate of problems, and when there are problems, they’ve been able to resolve and/or bypass them fairly quickly. They’re not RISKY.
Incidentally, I think their decision to stop delivering instance clusters and raids is also the reason we’re not seeing expansions … how could they justify that additional price? I, for one, would not have guessed two years ago that I’d be about to step into Gondor without an expansion tied to it. You would not have been able to convince me of the possibility back then.”
