I have minor concerns on the number of zones, but hard guild caps being tested, this is a little more understandable. These look to be far more interesting approach to Dreg's campaigns overall. It almost feels like you have taken some note's from how Path of Exile run's it's league's, and applied it to a shorter time frame format.

To come back to the guild caps aspects, and to pre-empt the inevitable crying of the larger guilds, would you occupy the notion of running more than one of these at a time, to lessen the potential of people "missing out". also what kind of time zones are we looking at, are we going to have to suffer with just East Coast NA and EU timers only?

Overall I like this concept far more for dregs, And keeping shadows around for the other zergy experience in a FvF format.

 

As the population grows, we'll start adding more of these as we see them needed.

This is important. Alliance system definitely has to be disabled for this. Or capped to the same 12 total players.

Yes, there are alliances.  Alliance has 12 simultaneous cap

We only planed 2 regions for sieging and went with EU and West.  There are no East/AU zones in this Dregs, thought the temples will be hosted in US East.
