Oh no, what I wanted to mean is just that. There will be a time gate somewhere, because if not people will be fully geared in a week or two and they don't want that. I'm just assuming that this time gate will be deliveries. I also think that a better soul crystal will be added at some point and change it around won't be that easy, but that's going to depend is SE mind people changing their spec that often or don't, because if they do another time gate will be around (a weekly quest for example).

Hmmmm I would agree with the time gate IF this was just another level 60 patch. But since it's an expansion level patch there is already so much needed to do and discover and obtain (levels, books, node timers, etc) that you don't need a weekly cap from keeping someone from completing gear progression in a week.

If someone can finish msq, lvl crafter gather and fighting class to 70 and get top crafting gear set completed all in one week that person will die on the 8th day from exhaustion........rip

A week does seem too short a time.

But two weeks doesn't. Unless there is a gate, I won't be surprised if someone gets a combat class and all of the DoH/DoL classes to max level and in BiS gear within that time. Why? Because the game is designed to let casual players do that in a reasonable amount of time over the course of months, and the hardest of the hard-core will spend that "reasonable amount of time" on the game in the first two weeks.

I won't. I'll be on vacation in Europe. Bad timing. LOL

But two weeks is hardcore reasonable especially since that's right around the time first normal raid comes out so ppl will be picking between crafted and weeklies. I wouldn't be surprised if that's when they release the nodes that drop the mats needed to make battle gear matching normal mode raid gear.

They may actually release the nodes right out of the gate or on the usual Thursday schedule. They'll just be gated behind zone/level. Seeing as EA starts on a Friday, if they hold the node release until Thursday, it gives almost a full week to finish story and level gathering (and the crafting needed to do something with it) and gear up to access the nodes. But I really don't see why they shouldn't just release them right away.

Can confirm. That's my plan.
