Raid Release Schedule for ToV?

Can we get release dates for when the tiers of raids for ToV are going to be available please.

They said every 30 days so I calculate Jan 17, Feb 16, March 17.

I think they were hoping for an official DBG employee to state exact dates of unlock, kind of like how a launch would be.

They wont tell us exact dates, raids are broken all mobs will be wielding bags and using a damage aug with no delay...

I remember some discussion in beta but I cannot remember the final outcome and I can no longer look it up.

I think it was Absor who said every 30 days but after that there was further discussion on having it changed so each was released at the weekend.

Would be nice to get an offical announcement so we all know where we are. Not that it will make a much of a difference to us, if they stick with Friday 17th January we still won't attempt them until Sunday 19th, Friday night is party night and no raids.

they just said 30 days after launch but no times or anything.

Pretty sure it was 9 am Pacific at 30 days, 60 days and 90 days for the 3 tiers

Also it sounded like it would rely on server time to unlock like Alerts do (which don't go active at same second on every server), so there could be +/- a few minutes on each server

I think they'll do a staggered release where every server gets it at a different time. This will allow people to squabble over who was the first to beat the raids, AND who was able to beat the raids fastest in relation to their server unlocking the target.

The forumquest will be great, and will serve as a distraction from the raids being too easy, and designed to where several classes should not, and even cannot play as their class is intended.

Or maybe that's just my cynical view, because it seems like there's really no point in a raiding guild clearing tov more than once or twice.

Officially dbg devs have already answered this ..

One month after expansion launch Tier 1..

Month acter that tier 2..

Month later tier 3..

Thanks for that Whulfgar, I expect to see them all released on 18th of January, Feburary and March exactly 1 month after release.

They also said the TS quests and augs would be in the Jan patch. We sure that 30 days is concrete?

It was not promised in January? I believe this was the official statement on the TS quest release, which does not state that it will be in the January patch, just that their goal was to release it then:

No, it's 30 days, not one month. That's the 17th of January, 16th of February, and 17th of March:

New content always follows a Friday - Sunday - Tuesday release schedule. Everybody knows that.
