Normal/Savage Alexander complaint

[Kosmos992k]

The fights do feel different in savage, obviously A1 & 2 are basically the same as they are the starter floors but A3 is a massive step up from the normal mode in terms of mechanics.

And it's not a matter of exclusivity, it's just that clearing one should not a requirement to do the other.

To me the best way would have been to make Law gear I190, clearing Alexander Normal not being a requirement for Alexander Savage and releasing them at the same time. But this has already been and gone now, we will have to see how they handle the next raid.

Perhaps they will allow those who have cleared Alex Savage as it stands to continue to the next part in Savage mode, that would make sense to me, and it would appear to resolve the issue completely by creating literally two separate paths that have the same starting point. If the second part of Alexander requires to be cleared in normal mode before undertaking Savage, even if you have already cleared the first part in Savage mode, that would be a problem in my opinion. I really hope that they maintain the two paths through Alexander separately to provide the raid experience for raiders and the less demanding experience for everyone else.

high skill players should be rewarded for their skill.

That's what the top tier gear drops are for, unless I am mistaken.

they should earn that storyline and earn that final fight with the big boss.

everybody else can wait to the next patch for the story mode.

Why? So you can be a special snowflake (to quote the usual Forum response)? Seriously though, why do you think you should get some special story elements all to yourself, even on a timed exclusivity, when you are already being rewarded with gear that those other players will likely never see, except on someone else.

Saying "everybody else can wait to the next patch for the story mode" about some content in a story driven game sounds pretty entitled, especially as you are clearly rewarded with the raid gear and additional achievement/titles in game. If the story is completely optional and has no bearing on the main story, then it's less of an issue to me, but if the story ties into the main story line, it should never be gated by real raid content.
