5 people is NOT a raid.

Tell me when there's 10 or more. I guess six would technically be a raid but I'll have none of that!

How about 5.5, and I throw in a toaster?

i see no numbers

Fleet Actions are more of a "raid", and appropriately named. Sure, it would be cool if they came up with a more trek-like name for high end, high difficulty, missions. Suggestions?

This isn't WoW.

You say 5 people doesn't equal a raid, well, maybe that ls why they are calling them RAIDISODES and not RAIDS.

And this aint EQ or UO either. So what's your point? You do realise that the term "raid" was established in MMO's well before WoW don't you?

You might as well call them Bernard-isodes for what its worth because Cryptics use of the word does indeed fly in the face of the established definition used in many other games. In short, Cryptic have b-astardised an established term just to create a marketing "buzzword", which to some people makes them look a little silly.

They could have just stuck with calling them "group-centric episodes" and no one would have battered an eyelid.

Agreed 100%. And good sig, Sir.

Yup, Special Ops would be much better. And it's not referring to any established concept in mmo.

Then WoW has no raids.

Cause I remember it taking 80 people to raid in at least one of those games you mentioned.

But then this thread wouldn't exist and there wouldn't be any player input. I'm not seeing a problem here.

How about Special Operations.


I was going to go for Suicide Mission but I doubt they'd want Fox News saying that they're condoning suicide ha.
