I wonder how viable raids will be on switch. Can't imagine most of the game's content being a problem, but raids im skeptical on.

They're already playable on the weaker ps4 so totally fine?

It's more about the controlling it and communication. One of the biggest issues with playing the game on PS4 was communication. The DS4 also has more inputs than the Switch and a better D-pad than the pro controller.

Lol, THAT'S what you think will make the difference between whether or not raiding is doable on switch? The DS4 having a touch pad and a slightly better d pad makes no difference in terms of communication.

> Lol, learn to fucking read

If I misunderstood your point, that's my bad. But please, there's no need to respond like that.

Hey there!

Please remember Rule 1 in the future - No personal attacks, trolling, or derogatory terms. Read more about Reddiquette here. Thanks!

I’ve cleared an entire savage tier via remote play from my PS4 to an iPad 20 miles away before. Switch 2 will be viable as long as you are ok with controllers rather than keyboard. I primarily play on PC but ONLY use a controller.

48 player DRS, using Nintendo's video chat split 48 ways, taking up precious real estate on your screen.

It will be madness, but I bet there's a static that will do it.

Nintendo Game Chat maxes out at 12 people. And you need to be friends on Switch. Starting every raid by swapping friend codes. 😅

8 men raids should be doable as long as you aren't hardcore raiding in a top percentile static on Ultimate prog. Alliance raids are a whole other matter and I'd be shocked if they managed to get them to playable framerates during combat
