Alexander!. Thoughts on difficulty? and endgame. [possible spoilers]

[Altijacek]

The fights were a lot of fun. They're not difficult, somewhere more or less equal to extreme primals, note that I say more or less. It depends on your attitude towards it really, and group coordination. I just really like the fights but they're not too tough. Though seeing these mechanics makes me giddy and curious as to what we can expect in savage.

I cleared all of these solo-queuing into the DF, as well, this morning, and I thought that they were very well-made fights, especially for random groups in the DF. It just takes a bit of perseverance, is all. My first group wiped on the last boss of F1 once or twice because of some mismanaged adds, but we regrouped and cleared with few issues. F2 was actually one-shot, and the only clutch moment was towards the end when I died (I was OTing at the time) and the large add almost ran roughshod over the healers, but the MT grabbed it, a healer got me up, and I repaid the MT by getting the big add off him, as he was getting beat up pretty bad.

F3 had quite a few wipes, but we adjusted our strategy after each wipe and had a pretty clutch clear. F4 was by far the most difficult with the most wipes, but we just kept trying and we got our clears. We even had the minion material drop, haha!

Funny, I have yet to get through the first floor after numerous attempts with two separate parties.

Seems to me like they nailed the difficulty level.

... took me 7h trying on duty finder got one party finder on my server clear people need to learn to read other explanations...

[PlumpyMcduff]

Needs 3 difficulties...

Got to turn 4 but can't beat it. The healing check is kicking the ass of the pugs in the DF! Also, I don't know if it's a bug, but as a tank I keeping getting pulled in to that side room to kill the add over and over again. I know it's an intended mechanic, but I mean I'll land on the ground, start running towards the leg and get pulled back in immediately before I can even do anything. There's no way that it can be intended to be that fast.

Can't be, unless DPS on the add is very very low ( but then the tank would die )

The new raid seems to have some real challenging bosses for the short bit; Not like wow's raid finder which some players stated that it was like it. I really enjoy it and enjoy the zone.

This version of Alexander is designed to be forgiving, so the mechanics aren't as perfectionist as Coil was when it first came out.

Now this is only my guess but for 1st stage, be prepared for 4 laser sights, 1 DPS grabbing each add and killing all 4 before the bombs touch down. That's one mechanic difference that might occur in the harder one on top of other mechanics they may throw in much like how Hard Mode and Extreme Mode tend to have new mechanics added on top of what they normally do.

Its pretty hard when you pug it. I did it 17 times already and cleared the first floor. <3
