Flexible Raid Locks
Dear community,
with the next ID reset on Wednesday, Hades will be updated to include the reworked ID system introduced in Cataclysm – Flexible Raid Locks. We tested this function for almost a year. Many of you helped us with implementation of this mechanism and we are no longer able to make any progress with this feature on the PTR.
This change will affect only normal difficulty ID raid locks. It will not change anything for their Heroic versions, or for dungeons. The old ID system was saving ID for the whole group and everyone from it was bound to the same version of a raid instance. Flexible Raid Locks will bind your characters only to defeated bosses, not to the instance as a whole.
What does it mean?
If you go to Firelands with group A, you defeat Beth’tilac on normal difficulty and then the group disbands, you will be able to join group B which has already defeated Beth’tilac. You should be able to join them, even if they defeated more bosses than just her.
We hope this feature will make your progression in Dragon Soul much smoother.
Hades team
