Staggering Alexander Unlocks After Launch

[PArcher]

I am happy with this, as are the others in my static that were in TS when we were chatting about it.

Staggering the content like this allows the raiders who want to go through the story and take it all in to do so. It allows those of use who want to change jobs a chance to try them out and start to figure out what we need to do to raid with it. It lets us level and gear up and change our rotations properly, not in a rushed fashion with many potential errors.

If you want to rush through everything Day 1 and be ready to raid Day 1, you can do that. No one's stopping you. But there are many raiders who are also heavily interested in the story, in the environments, who want to take proper time and make sure they are ready to raid with all the changes. This is evening out the playing field between them.

If all you want to do is raid, stay away for another two weeks. Go ahead. Come back the day Alexander is released, try to level to 60 and get the gear you need then. And watch those who took the time to prepare properly push harder and faster than you can.

Only you can't get gear because no new tomestones from dungeons till the 2 weeks are up according to the interview tomestones are locked out too not just the raid. This will be like get level 60 then have whatever crap set you got when leveling till new tomestones and the raid become available.

Most people will just take this time to cap all their jobs to 60 and new jobs and crafts. If its anything like FFXI when they rasied the cap after 75 I got like 5 jobs to the new cap a day.

Oh and I watch all the cuteness and it sure doesn't take me 2 weeks to do that. Half my raid group doesn't watch them and they are done with the patches usually in 30 min to an hour if there is a dungeon.

Except you're can't buy anything other than an accessory week 1 anyway, so what do tomes really matter week 1? They're not going to make or break a run for a few weeks.

It's the preparation getting to lv60 and getting the best lv60 gear, learning the new skills/rotations and that sort that's what this is for

No tomestone gear was involved in FCoB first clear.
And i'm sure level 60 crafted gear is not locked out during the first 2 weeks.
