    I'm glad with Alexander Normal difficulty.

    Remember all these talks about lack of intermediate content? When Crystal Towers and Expert roulettes were too easy and Ex primlas and Coils were impossible without a static for an average/casual player and there was nothing in between?
    Alexander raid, especially turn 4, fills that gap. Not hard enough to have too many wipes and lose interest in raiding, yet not too easy to 1-shot it with every DF group.
    I hope new 24 man content will be better tuned as well and will be not as easy and boring as old Towers.

    So far .. My experience on A4 has been Tanks who are overly confident and try to solo tank the whole way through without knowing how.

    This. It's really not. The only difference is we don't outgear this one from the get-go.

    I think A1-3 are way too easy, actually. A4's difficulty is what I expected of a raid's "normal mode"; semi-challenging. I think it opens the door to people with unrealistic expectations of being able to tackle Savage when that's released. They're in for a rude awakening.

    I've personally found it to be easier than I was expecting. I've managed to clear them all (except A1, was my 3rd run) on my first run through with randoms. I've only returned with my static and it's faceroll easy when we all know the mechs and are communicating.

    TBH I had much harder experiences in Crystal Tower (all 3 of them) runs. I believe that may be due to the getting 23 other people thing though.

    All of that said, I find the difficulty a nice spot for normal mode.

    A4 is what I'd call intermediate content.

    A1-3 are too easy.
