DoD Westside is hosting a raid race the two weekends prior to Beyond Light launching. Since we’re all sad (blue) about some of our favorite raids being vaulted, we want to hearken back to the days when skill was required to clear raids and not just OP weapons and cheese strats. To be a test of true skill, only Blue (rare) weapons and armor will be allowed.
October 30th – November 1st: Eater of Worlds Raid Race
November 6th – 8th: Scourge of the Past Raid Race
The Rules:
Teams
- All players must be part of same clan or clan affiliation (sub clans of larger clan).
- All teams must belong to a recognized Dads of Destiny clan.
- Clans may enter multiple teams.
- Same 6 players that start the raid must finish
- If a team submits a second run, at least four of the original players must be a part of the run.
Loadouts
- ONLY blue(rare) weapons and armor may be used.
- The player streaming/recording will inspect all players loadouts before loading in to raid.
- We can only verify weapons used during the raid after the fact, so please, no cheating.
The Run
- Runs must be done within 72 hours of reset of the first day.
- Must be a full run. NO CHECKPOINTS.
- All encounters must be completed by all players.
