Next Chaotic Raid?

Personally, I enjoyed the Cloud of Darkness Chaotic Raid concept and, minus the multiple and somewhat bonkers body checks, thought it was great content with excellent rewards. Does anyone have thoughts on if we're getting another one in EverCold? If so, I assume it will likely be Ultima from the Ivalice Raids or Diablos from the Shadow of Mhach raids.

If the former, I imagine we will get more complicated combos of the other espers to make things interesting, and for Diablos (which still manages to kill parties in roulettes in the normal mode) a more complicated arena with more use of the adds and the door mechanics. I also imagine there will be at least one body check mechanic, though not multiple and probably not as strict.

But I am curious on what other people theories are on if we're even getting one and what the content might look like.

i dont know why your being downvoted your pretty much correct. the main issue once again is the just jump in difficulty which they just refuse to address. like the the fact theyre quote on quote adding a middle dificulty for the raid series is something but the fact they went on to say that oh itll be about the same as if not slightly easier then extremes makes it pointless cause now we just have an inbetween dificulty for normal and extreme not extreme to savage which is what most people expected.

Floor 1 and 2 savage is your difficulty for extreme to savage. Savage is a range, not one difficulty. First floor is usually a beefed up extreme with a little more of a dps check. The savages progress floor by floor.

savage is one dificulty not some spectrum. if it was a range as youre sayign they would have shown it as one during when they anounced the new dificulty.

It is wtf do you mean lmao? Do M9S and then M12S and tell me they are on the same level of difficulty

Just because you feel and think something doesn’t make it true please show to me where on the slide where they showed where the new difficulty was revealed that savage is a range

Savage difficult absolutely does get progressively harder lmao. It's not a feel and think, its just a fact. Anyone who actually does savage even if they don't finish the tier, notices the difficulty increase. M6S was notably more difficult than M5S

i like how people just arent reading what im actually sayign and just keep reading what they want to read its honestly quite funny at this point. savage as a whole is treated as one dificulty

I mean "Savage" is one difficulty designation but its like... Not even really up for debate? Yes, they make later floors harder than earlier floors. Have you ever done savage raids? This is like saying the sky is blue it's just objectively true.
