Alexander too soon?

[Kaedan]

Not really. Problem in this game is if you don't get into something from day 1, you get left behind. When people try to catch up, they get kicked for being new or not being an expert. I'm not saying they should delay the release of raids. For those that have real life responsibilities that keep them from getting multiple jobs to 60 in a week, this will be the result.

Huh? No, not at all. Not unless you belong to a hardcore raiding FC, which wouldn't be the case in the example of someone more casual.

I am somewhere between casual and hardcore. I generally play about 30 hours a week. I have never been kicked for being new or not "being an expert". I've even talked someone through a fight I had never even done myself since I researched the fight beforehand. Best thing to do when you're doing content for the first time is simply say "first time" in chat when you start. 9 times out of 10 people will be more than happy to tell you about any mechanics you might need to know.

This game is actually one of the few MMOs that DOESN'T have a problem with being left behind.

random junk

Hey if you don't like reading something then it sounds like maybe you need to just stay out of it? No but you rather just tell ppl to stay in 2.0 claps your helpful very much so hooray. Anyway once again i never was asking SE to hold things back for others i was simply
giving out my opinion which somehow seems to threaten players like you :P maybe you should stay off the forums

How about no! Cause if it gets delayed then there isn't anything to do for those of us who are ilvl170+ already.

[Darkobra]

I think they should release it when it's ready and I'll play it when I'm ready. Just because it's out doesn't mean you HAVE to do it right now.

Nah I don't think it is too soon at all.

The first Alexander raid coming really isn't going to be the hardcore one anyhow. It will be more casual like coil with echo type feel. The savage mode is what everyone will be pushing to get down and where the challenge is.

Actually I think the complaint is directed at things being obsolete too quickly.

The biggest thing bothering me with this is that queuetimes are sooo long for things that are only a month old.

If you're not in a world first type of FC content is not going to be obsolete anytime soon.

Ex primals probably will. Raids are fine as they are.
Like right now I'm afraid I will have to wait forever to beat the new EX primals because I won't have time to attempt it in 2 weeks.
So in two weeks I'm assuming no one is doing them anymore (Lets hope i'm wrong, but looking at moggle and ramuh ex it could happen)

i doubt alex normal is going to drop weapons , ravana ex weapons are going to be BiS until alex savage last turn...

and to do ravana ex u need to do bismark ex , so both are going to be relevant for weeks.

remember that relic weapons arent coming until 3.1 and thats 2months+ away

And im sure SE will add echo later on and put on DR trial.

And by everyone you mean 3% of the server? :P I jest!
