How are you guys preparing for the expansion?

Snip.

Heavensward is on a Friday and if you do roulettes or whatnot throughout the week, you can easily complete some things in the first 1-3 days without noticing. I'd prefer to have it close to completion without completing it rather than missing out some stuff because I happened to do Expert Roulette 5 times to cap Poe. The story is supposed to give more than enough EXP and the monsters are supposed to be a bit harder. I'd rather have a slight advantage in the beginning than feel like I'm not ready for what's coming.

Besides, if there's any suprise or extended maintenances (especially on the 22nd before Heavensward goes "officially live" to everyone else). If you're sitting at 58 an the game goes down on the 22nd for a full day (like it is on the 18th), and suddenly poof, 23rd maint is done, and you've missed out on the whole week of bonus EXP because you were waiting and something unexpected happened. Or if the servers aren't very stable and you find yourself struggling to get on every single day of early access. I'd rather not miss out on all that EXP when so much can easily go wrong.
