PoP and piggybacking

    One thing i dont think ive seen brought up with PoP on the horizon: will the piggyback rule be in effect for raids with PoP, or will those unflagged have to all sit out of content until we do backflagging?

    It is the 85/15 rule I believe. 85% of the raid will need to be flagged.

    With the AoC's on Phinigel it may not work the same however.

    Theoretically it will work.

    I don't know if anyone has tested it with the AoCs though. All of my testing has been done solo on a fully flagged character.

    There's no way to test it. On test, zone entry requirements mirror live (based strictly on level). Flagging is not required.

    Not exactly... These are AoCs. It's possible the instances don't check flagging at all or don't utilize the 85/15 rule.

    Also using a level 46 character should safely allow you to test if flagging is necessary but you'd have to actually flag him. For example to get into CoD I think you need level 55 on live. So get the CoD instance and see if a 46 can zone in via the AoC. Then drop it and clear your lockouts then kill Grummus in the AoC instance and hail on the 46. Zone out get the CoD instance again and attempt to zone in.

    It would just be tedious to do this for every zone I think.

    Prathun stated "Yes, the instanced zones use the same zone filters and requirements as the base zones, which are 85/15 friendly."
