This is a smaller, but nonetheless highly requested change. On the Bosses page you will now be able to see whether or not you have completed the minimum actions to be given a reward on Raid Boss. Here are a couple screenshots to get you acclimatized with how this will work:
Actions not completed
Actions completed
Event-Length Benching
Benching is when a player is restricted to Healing actions only on a Raid Boss. This has been applied to any player who wipes their Raid Party twice.
We're trying out an extension of this mechanic where any players who have caused wipes in three individual Raid Parties will be benched for the rest of the event on
all Raid Bosses.
Say there's a player named Unknown Viking (or Pirate or Mobster or Slayer) and he's in five Raid Bosses. On three of those Bosses, Unknown Player wipes the Party once. Those are three individual, unique wipes, and now he is benched for the rest of the event. Once he/she is benched, he/she will see this pop up:
Now Unknown Player can only Heal on every single other Boss they join until the end of the event. They will be unable to attack any Raid Bosses until the start of the next Raid event in 4 weeks time.
A couple of caveats: players can still be benched on individual Raid Bosses if they wipe the party twice on that particular Boss, and players who are benched event-wide will still be able to attack any Raid Boss they own.
You might remember this concept from our Raid Boss survey a month or so ago, where
over 75% of respondents were for this idea. As this is the first time we are running this change there might be some hiccups, but we will be watching closely during the event in Viking Clan (which is the next Raid Event). We can also adjust the number of unique wipes up or down depending on how this works. So tomorrow during the Raid Event, please be mindful of where you leave the Party Health!
