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

[Rankina]

Stupid easy. Kinda regret paying attention to the story, it doesn't have that mmph you get when you beat each Coil turn and grabbed your loot and sprinted toward the next chapter. Already got all 4 drops, 2 accessories and helm. Woo.

[KylePearlsand]

They are all very easy imo
As OT, you'll be dragged there all the time, paired with pretty much every other dps at least once.

Really? Must be my luck since it felt like I was the one being dragged in there most of the time.

[Ayuhra]

For me the difficulty was

1. Eh
2. Easy
3. Eh
4. Oh god why

For those of you who are already farming Ravana Ex then, yes, the first four floors of Alexander are probably easy. For us mortals it seems about right, especially considering there will be more floors in the future.

It took me all evening to clear Burden. People seemed to have trouble not killing adds next to each other and healers were probably not expecting the insane amount of damage flying around. From what I heard it was easy to clear this morning when all the cutting edge players were hitting up Alex but as the day went on Burden got trickier.

That's how it usually goes.

"Wow, Coil with echo seems easily DFable!"

Few hours after launch:

"Never use DF for Coil. Ever."

I thought it was very easy but as a healer and especially coming back from a long break from the game it kept me on my toes enough that everything had come back to me. I liked that some of the mechanics had my party getting separated from each other so that I had to not rely on medica as a crutch. While the fights were easy and we cleared it on the first day, it was refreshing to be kept so busy. Now just have to wait 2 weeks for the real one!

Now I'm not in yet. I still need to increase my item level. But since I can read and sometimes do I can say this: Normal mode Alex was designed with those in mind who struggled to clear Twintania with full Augmented Ironworks gear. The proper raid will come two weeks from now. This is the so called Story mode that people have been begging for ever since they realised that raids are harder than dungeons.

[fanservice]

Read the TLDR on twitter twice over.

Did floor 4 for the first time ever.

One shot it.

Even tanked two turrets with the healer killing dot on me.

Lustrate is fine as is. Don't nerf me bro.

Got my spring.

[Sapphic]

It is faceroll. Cleared it in a few tries in duty finder but honestly.. I dont mind. I will finally be able to fully enjoy hard raids without being afraid of casuals trying to force SE to nerf it.

There will be still be "Nerf Alexander Savage" posts, especially if it drops the best gear.

Was disapointed in how easy it was. About as much sense of accomplisment in clearing it as in clearing Neverreap, aka none. Stiry wise, it wasn't any where on par with coil which drew me in and made me look forward to clearing the next turn and the next coil to see the story progress, Alex story was kinda meh in comparison.

How it ends it seems like Alex savage will continue the story.

How it ends it seems like Alex savage will continue the story.

If Normal Mode is, in fact, "Story Mode" then Alex Savage will have the same exact story just with harder bosses/better loot/etc.
