Would it be possible at all to have the length of time the 'Raid Event' from the Black Beasts is available for extended? It's already rather hit or miss to get people focused enough on the beasts to start it, depending on time of day, but at the moment it doesn't seem like there's enough time for anyone to actually make it through the events without being EXTREMELY FOCUSED or building specifically on huge fire AoEs.

Unless the timer is randomly decided or dependent on the first group to defeat Seto which is... Even worse.

Case in point: We had a group including two fire users, one of whom was AoE cinders with Force Move, a healer, and a non-fire caster who IMMEDIATELY transitioned from participating in a black beast attack to taking part in the raid. Very efficient at killing beasts, and even had teleports all around to get up the mountain, but we got denied at the last second when the beasts vanished immediately before we could initiate the Seto fight...

Now, we certainly weren't immediately taking all our turns and preparing our tactics beforehand and granted, if we'd been even a LITTLE faster we could've made it, but that's asking an awful lot on an event that's basically multiplayer mandatory (to say nothing of the BYOND platform)...

Moreover, it makes the event basically impossible for characters who are slower-paced or focused on outlasting opponents instead of bursting them down with DPS, and there's no doubt it turns a lot of people away to have to be 100% completely focused in your computer chair with a mountain dew energy drink just to scrape by the deadline...

EDIT: I've only participated in a handful of raids myself, so if there's other factors like whether reboot is imminent or not, please point that out for consideration.
