regular alex is a week from tomorrow and is supposedly going to be CT difficulty (with CT-style loot system), so that's not an issue (the issue will be getting you ready to farm ex primals)

savage alex is 3 weeks from tomorrow, which is the big deal

if you transfer on over we'll pick you up as soon as you're ready; our current raid times are 10PM-1AM eastern Tues-Thurs (may be more with alex release, we'll see what happens), and even if it doesn't work out you'll be on one of the most populated servers which is generally well-known for player skill, so it's a good environment outside of a static for progression-minded people as well

Ok, so a friend of mine plays the ps3 version and bought on accident the PC version of the download code for Heavensword (at least that's what I think it is called) It comes with all bonus items.


promised a friend that I would help him out with this, and ask you guys for advice.

Heavensward*

unfortunately the codes are console exclusive and so PC codes can't be used on PS3/4 and vice versa
I'd recommend having your friend find someone who either made the same mistake as him/her and bought the wrong version or someone who hasn't bought HW yet so they can trade codes

4/4 and we were considering selling tonight but we played league all night instead.

Easy, fun, and greatly looking forward to savage. Especially like the aesthetic elements of it. I play with BGM on unlike most people I play with because my computer is the brave little toaster - because of this, the fact that the music is both A) enjoyable and B) not distracting is extremely useful to me.

Curious to how loot is going to work in savage; they seem to be making a big deal out of the live letter clarifying it, so I'm assuming it'll be different than coil.

the healing load in A4 normal is greatly exaggerated

we've run it with WHM/diurnal AST and WHM/SCH; the first was just stack med2/aspected helios and the second was just med2/eos for dealing with all the random damage; the only slightly scary part is when you have nisi on you and both you/tank are relatively low, but on WHM that's not really scary as long as you're holding your tetra

After clearing A4 multiple times now with a 176 WHM, maybe I was exaggerating.

I realized the key to making life easy for everyone is to regen the other healer, and Stoneskin/tetra the tank during its ultmate attack.

However, I hate dps that dont pull enough aggro on the adds causing healers to die

Yeah, I still don't get that. All you have to do is hit it with one GCD (or oGCD) and it's on you right away.
I understand summoners having issues with it but anyone else :(

a little rant:

I also wish people could clear A4 better :(
It sucks to get a 15 min DPS queue into A4 and not have the group clear.
Then if you clear there's the problem of the crank not dropping / not winning the crank.
I wish there was a better way to get your i190 gear, trying to get it as a solo DPS sucks.
And noone joins PF A4 parties :(
