Have not seen a Raid Button

My alliance can’t get into Raids durring raid week because that option isn’t Available? That we had to click some button that was not offered to us is not an answer to this issue. I’ve checked and checked raid week info to make sure we were set for it, and come raid time we are shut out of participating.

My Alliance IS NOT HAPPY, as their Leader I am not happy and I’m hearing frustrations from them which makes it worse.

During the week PRIOR to Raids week, the normal NEXT WEEK tab shown above is renamed to RAID WEEK!
This originally was to take place 2 weeks ago (and did briefly), until they decided to delay Raids by a week due to the Raid Tags issue and effect on normally occurring AQ/AW, and thus it reverted back to a normal NEXT WEEK tab 2 weeks ago).

So, a week later (which was last week, 8+ days ago), the RAID WEEK setup became active again.
And you had to get your Raids setup during last week (or at least, make sure that it was still carried over from your setup a month ago for the initial Raids in January).

Once yesterday (Monday) hit, and the Raid Week started, you could no longer modify any BG to change into or out of Raids for the week (Raid changes became locked for the week) as the first day had started.
Just like in normal AQ weeks, you can not change Day-1 AQ Maps once Day-1 has started (only subsequent days for different maps 1-8, but since Raid is week-long any Raid selection is locked).

**and note, in this particular pic above, all of the BG’s in that pic are *NOT* setup for a Raid yet and neither are they setup for ANY normal AQ map yet either. Thus all 3x7 are blank.
(If you think that just because there is some RED LABEL saying RAID there in above pic, that it means they are setup for Raid, even though the next 7 day grid still shows either empty or specific Maps 1-8, THAT IS INCORRECT. That is NOT what indicates that it is currently setup for a Raid).

(continue with below..)



Setup Explanation for @Ifheresomethingisoff
(also for @Eb0ny-O-M4w , although sounds like you actually know how to set it up, but just didn’t work for some reason ?)

So, now (above) that you are in the Setup for the RAID WEEK (from 1st part of commentary above).
First thing you need to recognize is that the circled RED-LABEL “RAID” underneath each BG # is actually the Button you press (for that BG#) to be able to switch that BG between a normal AQ week versus a Raid week.

Pressing that RED “RAID” button takes you into the actual 2nd pic above.
You see it identified the BATTLEGROUP # that the setup will apply to.

Now, use the similar LEFT / RIGHT Arrows (like you normally do to select between AQ Maps 1-8.
When setting up for Raids, these Left/Right arrow will switch between “RAID MAP” or “NO RAID” above the Boss Pic of Ultron.

If you want to switch that BG# to do Raids, use Left/Right to go to when it says “RAID MAP” above Ultron.

(*note, to set this BG# up for a regular AQ week, you would leave this to (or switch it back to) saying “NO RAID”. At least I believe that is the wording at that point).

Now, click anywhere on screen to remove that BG's right-side split screen setup, and go back to the 3-row by 7-day screen.

As examples in pic above, that pic currently has BG's 1 and 3 setup for Raids that week, and BG2 setup for a normal 7-day grid of Map choices (in this case, Map-8).

**Note, if your 3 x 7 day setup grid does NOT show any BG having an entire row (all 7 days) as a single entry, saying RAID MAP across all 7 days together (not individual days), as shown above, then you have NOT correctly set it to do Raids.

Repeat steps above for EACH of the BG’s you want to setup for Raids (during the prior week, which is Raid Setup week).
** And then press SAVE, to save it all. Best to then go out and come back in and make sure it was saved and looks correct.

——
Final note, whatever you have setup for Raid Week, will by default be what Raid Week comes up as NEXT MONTH again, unless you go back in that prior week next month and change your setup.

There was only maybe a very short time (couple hours ?) a couple weeks ago, that if someone had changed their Raid Setup at that small time, that things may not have been saved.
But that was right before they opted to delay raids by a week.
Once last week hit and you could setup/verify Raids again, any properly setup Raid week is what would have been started yesterday (Monday).
