Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XX (04/11/2015)

[Deader2818]

The new jobs start at 30.

Like the old jobs.

Ok makes sense just seems odd I guess because there is no base class but with what Rocl said it makes sense since you cant even access the area till you are lv50 and ilvl90

[Ratatapa]

No weekly lockout on Alex normal mode

[Rocl]

No raid content until 4 weeks after release gtfo

2 weeks after release: Alex Normal mode opens, no loot lockout
4 weeks after release: Alex Savage mode opens up, weekly limit tomestones open up

[Ratatapa]

edit : Rocl Came too fast!

HEAVENSWARD: AUGUST 2015

[Deader2818]

No raid content until 4 weeks after release gtfo

Yeah that was said awhile ago because they want people to be able to focus on leveling and gearing up their jobs and not rush right into raids.

[samalis]

Looks like Alex norm is 2 weeks after launch, then another 2 weeks for savage

[Ratatapa]

Yeah that was said awhile ago because they want people to be able to focus on leveling and gearing up their jobs and not rush right into raids.

No at first they said 2 weeks and that Alex Normal and Hard would launch at same time

Now it's alex normal 2 weeks after launch and Alex Hard + tomestone 2 weeks after alex normal (aka 4 weeks after launch)

[Rocl]

Yeah that was said awhile ago because they want people to be able to focus on leveling and gearing up their jobs and not rush right into raids.

I don't recall them saying four weeks for Hard to open up, only that "Alexander will open up 2 weeks after release;" I remember the tomestones were delayed too, but again not the severity of the delay

[Deader2818]

I suppose you're right they didnt say how long it would be.

[Ratatapa]

LOL that scream guy getting his machete signed at pax

[Olo401]
