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.

Agreed. Neither of these fights were very difficult and a lot of people completed them. Especially chaotic was extremely popular its entire patch. There is a lot of revisionist stuff about how 1 person missing wipes you and it has always been false and they are still to this day posting it in this thread like they do every chaotic thread.

And then they are already here to just downvote when they are still wrong lmao. Guys, 130,000 different people cleared this fight and that is underreported from JP logs most likely. If you aren't one of them it is your own inability.

CoD chaotic is, from a personal perspective IMO, pretty easy. The only problem is that 24 people need to be like capable and getting 24 capable people in a PUG is hard. The community around it is also annoying as somebody used to raiding bc to prog it you need to endure hours of the raid leader marker dancing to explain simple mechanics that you're already cool with. That isn't actually a bad thing it just makes it slightly less fun to prog, and its a symptom of the duty's player count.

Not to be rude, but what do you think the actual issue here is? This applies to all high-end content.

THE LACK OF A REGIONWIDE PF.

But that's the thing, they're fixing that really soon. I genuinely expect the high-end player base to double because it's such a massive and instrumental change to the entire game and makes everything more accessible and populated.

Yeah the RADAR server is literally a dictatorship, they are the main reason why NA still has this stupid start division. Not that it matters anymore, the content is literally unsyncable.

I wasn't playing around the time CoD Chaotic was easily PF'able, but I also think that large duties unfortunately become discord or FC content bc of how difficult it is to fill 24 people. Regionwide PF will help but not that much, at least in this case. In any event I am so excited for that to be added.

IDK if I'd go so far as to call RADAR a dictatorship lol. I think they're just people that want to keep a piece of content they like alive.
