BI damage was the right thing to start

The idea of creating some new damage type with certain damage resistance is awesome, but it's implementation was not that good, because BI damage was the only a portion of enemies' damage and could be easily ignored without building intended defense.
To bring some challenge and delay new content farming, the following could be done:
1. In the new dungeon all mobs should have new damage type (let's say, True damage) and only that, without dealing physical, arcane, fire or any other damage.
2. The damage from their attacks should be enough to kill a player with a couple of hits, if the player has zero True damage resistance.
3. You may obtain T2.5 gear through campaign tasks, PvP or HEs to reach a certain lvl of True damage resistance to be able to complete the dungeon.
4. For completing the dungeon you will receive T3 gear with, let's say, False damage resistance needed for the dungeon in the new module.
T2.5 gear would be an analog to the current BI/Draconic/Profound gear but with different bonuses and stat allocations plus True damage resistance. The dungeon will be very hard and provide new significantly better T3 gear.
The point is to give players an ability to complete their T2.5 sets within a month (like we have now) and then let them farm the dungeon to be prepared for the next module.

The thing that they're not gonna do this.
Another way could be to use a ward system. You have dungeon X in Module 5, for killing every boss in it you gain a part of the Ward. If you don't have any part of the Ward, the mobs in dungeon of Module 6 will deal 100% increased damage to you and receive 100% less damage. The Ward returns those values to a basic amount.
This game is in extreme need of making competitive PvE, I'm just trying to find a way to do this by creating a pure 1->2->3->...->n dungeon progression, because now you can farm only the newest content immediately.
I think this thread may be closed now.
its a ffn teribad idea just like all the other unavoidable damage. damage resistance is called damage resistance because it resists damage, not making some stupid exceptions because ohhh... well... whatever...
its stupid enough that they gave hr free ticket to ignore most of your damage resistance
getting 2 gear sets enchanted(pvp and pve) already is expensive, so you want 1 more set for each stupid damage type ? not even talking about things like inventory space, bank slots
so we would have to say to a guild member that he cant come to a guild run because we need class X but he only has class Y ? and we would have to pick some random person because of class ? or have to grind through months worth of boons, spend 20mil ad+ on gear to get "correct" class. if we want to zerg content with 4 gwf and a cleric, AND we have the skills to do it why the hell shouldnt we ?
adding these kinds of restrictions would be stupid, and would make many ppl to leave
and there is so much you can do with bosses in an action mmo if you want, go watch TERA or Vindictus boss figts, that the bosses here are static boring failures that spam adds doesnt mean that its impossible to make awesome boss fights. boss fights here are made so ppl who are required to wear helmets when they leave home can do any encounter when they are geared enough
like that doesn't already happen, even in guilds?? even without rainbow parties, say u have 1GF in a ToS party, u need one more person, and another GF wants to come...no one is gonna take them unless its a BiS party, coz syndryth just isn't gonna die
u may be right about those kind of restrictions making people leave, but I think a lot will welcome the challenge of each class playing a defined role in a party
well run with 5 gf if needed and kill the boss, hell well do it with 5 dc. atm we do tos in a bit over 10 min and thats without trying hard.
you can beat any content of the game with any class combination
Uhm....well, almost. I really doubt you could do VT with 5 DCs, for example - I just don't see enough DPS for the last phase, but as for anything else - yes, it should be possible.
You'd be surprised just how many players struggle with a good portion of PvE content . . . I witness it regularly, and I am probably in the middle of the crowd at best, with respect to my skill/ability.
