Hey Abe. Since the EU is going into daylight saving a week before the US, can you confirm that this is still at 4p eastern? The GMT seems off.
Thx di

Reserve? At 16 points? That's......

I've been stuck at 16 points for weeks and now I won't even get the chance to spend them D: I'm cursed.

That just means you're guaranteed to be in the raid on Wednesday, Vike. Although, this is the first raid for me since spending 14 on a fuse so that means subway tokens will drop...

Seeing as we have 2 reserves here and the EU raid is lacking many signups with just 2 hours until start, I'll withdraw my sign up here and jump over to the EU raid in hopes that I'll get in there and get a chance to lower my points :mrgreen:

As it stands, there's no personal incentive for me to show up, besides being helpful in spirit of course. I won't even get a raid point for being reserve :P
Each raid leader doesn't only consider those with a points cap though when organising a team. The team is created based on many factors as listed in our Nine Swords Raid Policy :)
If you find yourself forced to mercilessly slaughter your teammates because they become infected with some rare mutation, keep in mind that you are only doing your job -
They would do the same for you.

People often get to 16 points because of the whims of the RNG. If everyone who was at 16 always got in it would make team selection much harder.

But we can't raise prices or the points cap without causing other, more serious problems.

Any loot system based around random will always be imperfect so the most we can hope for is to just have it as a guide to loosely allocate loot.
