Open world raid size

We know that there will be maximum of 40 players in a raid group, but how will it work with open world raids - are you going to be able to bring multiple raid groups to kill the bosses?

    AFAIK, the raid group with the most damage gets the rewards. So you could, but only the highest DPS will get anything.

  • My question is if you can essentially bring unlimited amount of people to open world raids?

    As far as I can tell, yes, but only one group would really get anything out of it.

    Damn, cant wait for the raid groups being just a zerg of 200 players killing a raid tuned for 40. They are all going to be in the same guild so it doesnt matter which raid group gets the loot. Thanks for clearing that up

    Hi there - looks like someone already got you some answers above, and you can also check out more on where we've discussed raid sizing and loot rules/tagging before on the helpful community-run wiki here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Raids

    All of this will definitely be something we look for your help with testing in upcoming phases as well!

    I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything further we can assist you with!
