Petition for Crystal Exarch as a Trust (Be warned: Potential Story Spoilers)

[FoxyAreku]

Bad news, the latest details about NG+ we heard through interviews and live letters amongst other things, was that Shadowbringers would not yet be replayable at the feature's launch.



Good news, the latest details we have heard blah blah, was that this is indeed how NG+ would work. You can select to 'restart' one entire expansion's worth of quests (from x.0 to final story patch before next expac). This feature would be available for ARR, HW and SB. ShB would be added later.

That is cool! Thank you for the info.

But do we loose our progress we made there if we use NG+? (Flying in an area for example.) Don't really know how NG+ works in games.

Don't think so.

IIRC the plan is that it basically just puts the main quests and job quests from that 'section' (ARR, HW or SB) back into the world for you to play through again.

It won't actually reset anything, should even be able to NG+ alongside playing the current MSQ if for some reason that was something you wanted to do.

Ok. Thank you.
Would be cool to play through Heavensward again without doing ARR a second time.

I will not give up

Funny that I came to the forums after doing a Trust and seeing I couldn't pick the Exarch or even Lyna, at least I got to run through them during the msq I suppose, though like many others I hope they become available later down the line, possibly even with other NPCs from other expansions.

Maybe a future quest will have the Exarch teach us to let expanse contract and eon become instant so we can summon loads of different options in the future.

Would mean the end of slightly awkward "maybe some of your friends are out fishing in Othard?" dialogue too, the story can just assume you took a moment to summon your pals whenever you need to do group content.

Has anyone maxed all the trusts yet? I'd like to know what the reward is, maybe we unlock them that way?

I kind of prefer the assumption that you're doing it alone, like what most of the post-ARR content seems to suggest. Though moments like the Crystal Exarch summoning in additional pylo-err, heroes, made for a good moment, too.
