- Week 2 - I group 10 of the same ppl from Week 1 plus three newcomers that haven't set foot in SoO yet, extend my lockout and queue for Flex Wing 1...what do we see upon zoning in? All trash/bosses dead through 3rd boss (as would be the case today in Normals)? Does the appearance of newcomers force us to start fresh?
Alternative using above facts:
- Week 1 - 14-person team clears Flex Wing 1.
- Week 2 - 10 of the same ppl from week 1 plus 3 newcomers that haven't set foot in SoO yet try to extend Week 1 lockout and queue for Wing 2. Is it possible even though 3 ppl haven't cleared the first wing at all? (i.e., currently in LFR, you have to clear previous wings to be able to queue for later wings -- is this how Flex works?)
Any insight on this is appreciated - I haven't come across a solid explanation from Blizzard.
