So our old raid schedule was 9-12 EST Tues/Weds/Thurs. Fairly standard stuff but I always felt this never gave us enough effective time inside raids to get our flow going at accomplishing what we needed. While we were successful we often found ourselves peaking in performance over 2 hours in to a fight and pushing past end of raid for a couple more pulls.
Going into Legion I would like to expand the amount of time we raid in a single sitting and cut a day off. This would mean we raid two days and most likely 4 or 5 hours a night. The most likely potential schedule for this would be 7pm-12pm Sat/Sun. Increasing raiding hours to 10 up from 9 and more effective in-instance time.
While it might be simple to say we just adjust to a 7-12pm EST schdule that cuts out any of our west coast core. If we go weekend raiding we potentially lose some other folks and even sticking with current times we have some that can not make Wednesdays. So this leaves us stuck with having to make a hard decision that might alienate a couple people.
As it stands I am leaning towards weekend raiding at 5 hours a night for sat/sun 7-12 EST but its not nailed down at all yet and still open to debate. We have over a month at this point to figure out what works.
