    Announcing The First Ever Raid Replay Weekend!

    Episode 16 launches for Members next week, and to make sure you are ready for the new storylines, we're kicking off a Raid Replay Weekend. That's right, THIS weekend only, the Replay Badge cost to unlock Raids will be cut in half, from 87 Replay Badges to just 43. Play, replay, gear up, and get ready.

    Whether you're finishing off your last pieces from Episode 15, getting lower level alts up to speed, or starting brand new characters, this is the best weekend to do it! The reduced Raid Replay Weekend begins with early morning server restarts on Saturday, August 29, 2015, and ends with early morning server restarts on Monday, August 31, 2015.

    Final Weekend For The Booster Bundle!

    The Booster Bundle runs through September 1, 2015, so that makes this weekend your last weekend to get those auras, Marketplace items, and Replay Badges you need for the new content ahead (or even for the binge leveling you're planning this Raid Replay Weekend). Don't miss your chance at the Glimmering Aura, Blue Smoke Aura, and all the others. Grab a Booster Bundle from the Marketplace before it is too late.

    The Booster Bundle ends with early morning server restarts on Monday, August 31, 2015.

    The event returns at 4PM PT (US) or 4PM CET (EU) on Friday, August 28, 2015, and ends with early morning server restarts on Monday, August 31, 2015.

    I'm waiting for the fury from those who spent 100's on replays already.

    Why would they be mad about this? Better gear is is less than a week away, 3 days after this sale is over

    You can't justifiably get mad, this sale is intentionally offered at the most useless time. Who needs anything from raids at this point? Still a good move.

    I only have 3 pieces of 120 total. Need? No. Actually don't even need any 120 piece for that matter. But if I wasn't going away for the weekend, you bet I'd drop some RB to get annother piece or two.

    Exactly. It's a nice way to get people to spend up their replays before the new content drops so they can buy some more next week or whatever. Actually I may like this more than the half of replays thing.

    I like the idea but I have all the 120 pieces and I'm maxed out on marks so I might not even run the regular raids this week.

    That's cool i guess, for the upcoming folks, but majority of the folks are at end-game CR 130-131 such as myself. Especially with ONLY 1 RELEVANT raid out.o_O

    No point spending replays on the raids, when new content will just override the CR of the previous obsolete episode. :(


    SUGGESTIONS:
    In my opinion its bad timing, it would have been dope to see this replay weekend come out a week after bombshells release, Double promo, then drop the booster bundles following week, then new episodes.. The consistent Promos would have been top notch marketing.

    Would be nice if we got more RELEVANT raids(4-5 raids excluding ELITE) per 3 episodes.. Duos and Alerts are just too easy, there are no real mechanics in the duos and alerts(excluding fatal exam, best mechanical alert ever)

    Gear Drops
    Spread out the Rare (purple) drops within the duos and alerts as well, makes THESE content relevant AT ALL TIMES.

    For example : The best pieces can come from the raids

    Raids:chest legs head shoulders weapon back feet waist hands
    Alerts: face neck
    Duos : Rings trinket

    Majority of folks are not CR 130-1. Only about 20k characters across all servers are in that range. Compare that to those above CR 100: 165k.

    why? better gear drops next week in the alerts. I see no point in spending them this week but when you can spend less next week for better gear.

    It's a pretty cool idea. But I agree the timing is wrong. For me anyway. I'm fully maxed on my main toon, both roles so I will be saving my badges for the 2nd of September. But, it is a neat precedence to set. Like, throw it out there on a random weekday (or weekend day) as just a "here ya go homies, enjoy" type thing. Hopefully people will take advantage of it and gear up and then buy more badges.
    Help keep the lights on. :p
    Long Live DCUO!!

    Thanks devs, there's nothing more to say, even if you don't need it, doesn't mean others wont either.

    Yep, next one would be reduce the cost to 0, put a non-changable weekly lockout on raids, make drops guaranteed and get rid of this stupid replay system.
