Interesting approach. I'll be interested to see how it's received. I will say the primary challenge is coordinating that many people to be online and ready to go rather than the difficulty of the content. Back when I raided with any degree of seriousness the first hour was just an exercise in herding cats as people slowly trickles online and then you get the requisite "oh sorry I forgot about x, oh my wife/mom/whoever needs me to do x, oh the baby is crying". If there was a reason WoW moved away from 40- man raids it's that. I don't miss it.

Anyway I'm willing to bet the hardcore raiders won't like this because their whole identity and sense of self worth revolves around running content others can't.

Hey, Herioc Games: I hate to break this to you, but literally NONE of this matters until you have animations and special effects that don't look like ass. In a superhero game, visuals are the most important detail by far.
