You would have to think on your feet and work with it as you went...you would repeat scenarios by chance, but that would not be common for quite some time. There have been boss mobs in the past that were random in which version you got. Each version of the mob had a different set of abilities, so it did require some dynamic thinking and action on part of the raid force. There aren't nearly enough of that kind of mechanic in the genre though. Please, ANYTHING would be more entertaining than facing the same mob week after week and the only "challenge" being a silly enrage timer.

I came back to Swtor after 3 weeks in GW2 (and a quick dabble on WoW) and was horrified just how clunky this game really is. Combat felt awful and the graphics were very subpar to GW2 and ran like crap. Such a shame.
Monkey see monkey do.......so i lost my job.

No, but I wasted about equal amount of my effort to my answer as he did for his comparison. I also have heard a lot better direct comparisons of the 3 games. I could do one with wow myself if I wanted but I am too lazy.

You do realize this game has lost 2/3 of its population, by some accounts as many as 100k in the last week and a half alone (14% of base). Here is an off color unfair question in response to your behavior....do you want this game to fail?

Not saying your idea is a bad one, it's actually really good. An easier way to accomodate hardcore players, or players who want a challenge and group-centered play would just be to copy any dungeon from Everquest or Vanguard and replace the orcs/goblins with Imperials/Republics. Done and done. I just saved $50,000,000 in development costs. You're welcome.

Actually, you just increased development costs by 100 fold since all of those will have to be ported to fit into BWs "version" of the hero engine.
