Working in an Alternate Raiding Night

We are looking into how to best work in an Alternate Raiding Night. By a combination of factors, largely:
  • some raiders cannot raid on Tues
  • some raiders cannot raid on Fri
  • there are people we miss since we shifted to Tues+Fri raiding (e.g. think wombats!)
Net effect is that with the boon of dynamic raid sizes plus the pre-made group feature within the dungeon finder tool, there is a strong possibility that we could raid core nights with an alternate night.

The nights we will be testing with are Tues + Fri (core) + Sat.

Friday seems to be the night that 90+% of the raiders can make, even if arriving later into the run. The raiders that cannot make Sat or also the ones that can make Tues, and the ones that cannot make Tues are also the ones that can make Sat.

Therefore, it makes sense that some raiders will raid Tue+Fri and some raiders will raid Fri+Sat.

If you think about the flow: the Tues night raiders will down the first half of the week's bosses; on Fri night, everyone piles onto the second half of the week's bosses; on Sat night, the main's that were not present on Tues and the alts of the Tues mains run the first half of the week's bosses.

It works because the main's on Fri+Sat don't miss out on any bosses, nor do the mains of the Tue+Fri night raiders, and in addition, the alts get some raiding time where they would make the most headway anyways: the easier first half of the bosses.

Let's give it a whirl, adjust as we need.
