🚀 The raid planner now knows who'll be there

Picking a raid time used to be guesswork: you'd put 9 pm on a Tuesday, hope for the best, and find out on Thursday that you were two healers short. The planner moves to v2: your members say when they're around, the site uses it to help you choose, and your daily or weekly runs now create themselves.


Your members say when they're around

An availability page in every member's account.

On a weekly grid split into half hours, each member paints the slots where they're "Available", "Maybe" or "Unavailable". Click a day header to fill the column, an hour to fill the row: a typical week takes seconds.

Time off is declared separately.
Holidays, a trip, a busy stretch: a start date, an end date, a reason if they feel like it — and it takes precedence over the weekly pattern for as long as it lasts.

Nobody is assumed missing.
A member who filled in nothing stays "Not set", which is deliberately not the same as unavailable. Whether you chase them is up to you.

A safety net at sign-up time.
On a raid page, everyone sees whether the slot fits what they declared, with a link straight to their availability page.


🎯 The raid form tells you what a slot is worth 🔒 Platinum required

Availability shows up as you type.
An availability panel counts who is free, unsure, unavailable and not set, breaks down required versus allocated for each role, and scores the slot out of 100. It refreshes on its own whenever you touch the date, the time or the roles — and it names what's short rather than leaving you to work it out.

An assistant that does the looking.
The suggest-a-slot button asks for a date range, an earliest and latest start time, and a duration. Guildi hands back the best slots, ranked, with a "Recommended" badge on the top one and a button that fills the form for you.

The whole week at a glance.
In the admin, the availability explorer draws a heatmap: the greener a cell, the more members are free. Filter by role, see every absence declared over the next thirty days, and click a cell to start a raid on the next matching slot.


🔁 Recurring raids, and series you can steer 🔒 Premium required

A daily, weekly or monthly raid is only filled in once.
In the form's "Recurrence" section, pick the rhythm: Guildi creates the coming occurrences — 14 daily, 4 weekly, 3 monthly — and adds a new one as the earlier ones go by. Each of them is a raid in its own right, with its own sign-ups.

A recurrence panel on every occurrence.
It shows the rhythm of the series, its schedule, its end date if it has one, and the upcoming occurrences, each a click away.

Stop a series on the date you pick.
Guildi tells you before you confirm how many raids and how many sign-ups will go. No more reaching for a delete button to get a result that isn't one.

Reschedule mid-series.
Change the start and end times, either for that one raid or for it and every later one. Past occurrences and existing sign-ups stay put.


🧰 The officer's toolkit

A sign-up window.
Open registrations on a date of your choosing to build the anticipation, close them before the off to lock your roster. An email goes out on its own the day sign-ups open.

A redesigned creation form.
Collapsible sections — general information, planning, groups, limits, options — with expand-all and collapse-all, the raid's own dates split from the sign-up window, and an explanation under every field.

Private notes on a raid. 🔒 Premium required
The backup roster, the instructions that don't belong on a public page: visible to the raid's creator and to moderators, nobody else.

Reminder delays of your own. 🔒 Premium required
Under the reminders tab of the module settings: two days out, then two hours out, whatever suits your guild. Default reminders stay open to every guild.

Attendance tracking for your members. 🔒 Platinum required
Average attendance rate, active members, and a per-member breakdown between raids attended, declined, tentative, no-shows and late cancellations.


📅 Your raids where you already look

A calendar subscription.
The planner page hands you a link to paste into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Your raids land in your own calendar and stay up to date there.

A time zone for the site.
Set from your guild settings, it's the reference clock for every raid. Each page states which zone the times are shown in, and a member abroad also reads what that means where they are.


Happy adventuring, everyone!
