Yeah I recall enjoying the sheer scope of the book but a lot of questionable choices along the way

And the recently cancelled Respawn game was a Titanfall Extraction Shooter.

the remotely save plugin is pretty nice, should you wish to sync across devices. though absolutely the $5 tier is worth supporting them

I don’t think players need to be in full tier in a month either, but if the raid is tuned for the avg player having it, it will take 2 months or more

Napkin math based on 2/3/4 bosses for multiple weeks. That’s 2-6 tier pcs per week, the cumulative power gain will be slow. After a month you’d have avg 4 ppl with 4pc bonus. Not a lot.
I don’t think recruiting up to 40 suddenly is a realistic ask of most 20-30 player groups.

To be clear I don’t think the idea of a 2 month prog for less skilled groups is inherently flawed, only that it is a fundamental mismatch for how SoD has been operated and was not communicated in any way ahead of time to manage expectations of the big shift in intent. Which feels bad to me.

I think they have trained the SoD playerbase that raids are generally accessible and clearable within a month, albeit not on the hardest difficulty available.
I think two months of partial clears due to tuning and difficulty isn’t a match for many SoD raids and will kill a fair number of groups.

That's putting words in my mouth. I do not expect PUGs should full clear on release. But his stated rationale and tuning target ensures PUGs will struggle for weeks/months ahead, and not just to full clear it.

Not to mention how problematic the bit about clearing "a couple bosses a week" to power up is for PUGs, alts, etc.

Big fan of SoD, but your team keeps falling back into this trap. Pivoting from a successful series of opt-in difficulties to a single, "hardmode" raid with intentional friction really misunderstands the appeal for many players. Shades of PoE2's current issues.

Now I’m intrigued about how many volumes there are in the Mountain Man Matchmaker cycle

Lived a similar experience - down to "sounding the DOTA alarm" after exams - so I loved this.
Like MMO nostalgia, early era DOTA had such a fun air of experimentation and discovery that feels unique to new genres and the "old Internet".
