Prepare for....

savage is hard in jp. for them it's like brutal mode (our savage)

for them they are getting alexander normal and savage. (normal and hard)

[Eidolon]

Hah, thanks for citing the sources. If the Story is going to be harder than extremes, it looks like I might actually have fun clearing them tomorrow. I was worried this would be a complete joke.

Ravana Ex was pretty easy though. Guess I'll wait and see.

[Mhikail]

Damn and here I was expecting a Team Rocket speech. I am disappoint. ;_;

Was waitin' for Rick Roll'd.
I am too, disappoint.

Oh when normal mode drops ilvl 170 gear and makes all the hunt nastiness non-essential.

It would have to drop 180 ilvl gear to render "hunt nastiness" moot. Though I'm guessing it will actually drop 190 ilvl and then Savage will drop 200 ilvl.

[MisterLucie]

Why would normal only drop 170 gear? That'd make it nearly completely irrelevant.

Not to mention if it's going to be harder than ex primals it should be dropping gear that's either equivalent or better, not 20 item levels worse.

Prepare for the b*t*hing about weekly lock outs and how it's unfair that they can't get what they really wanted because they lotted on a stupid belt on Tuesday and now the robe dropped on Saturday.

[Eidolon]

Lol. I just wonder what people's excuse will be this round.

2.0: there should be a story version because it's relevant to the 1.0 story!

3.0: there should be an easier version because it's relevant to... Goblins?

Alexander normal is gonna be on the token system -- each boss drops a token, and you turn them in for gear. The example given was kill all 5 bosses and you can turn them in for the chestpiece.

Not sure if gear will drop normally in addition to that, or if it's just the tokens. Hoping it's the dual-system like they have with Ravana EX and whatnot.

How is pre-emptively smug posting even a thing? "I bet people in the future will complain about this thing, but not me, I'm the best (in the future)"
