Anyone really hankering for the Realm Reborn soundtrack BR and want to do a cost-split on it? I really want the minion but absolutely don't need any more physical stuff cluttering up my living space.

Willing to go 30(me)/20(you) on it since I'm bad with money anyway. :retrogames:

They don't plan something like this for the EU servers, do they?
Come to think of it, is there any concrete info out there about the switch? Like free transfers, completely new servers, current servers moved over? Thing happens in october and I wanna know more!

Pretty sure they're just gonna relocate the physical location of the EU servers, no other changes.

Hey, I'll add you in-game once I get the chance.

On that note, it's kind of dumb that you can't send friend invites to people who are offline... why is that exactly? I imagine it's a relic of 1.0?

Well in most MMOs I've played, you can send them an invite even if they're aren't online, and they can accept/decline at their leisure when they see it, much more convenient.

They're just transferring the existing servers and data on the Chaos data center (the current "EU recommended" servers) from their current location in Canada to a new one in Europe. They haven't said anything about offering transfers from other data centers' servers yet, and I don't think there's any new servers planned.

Lost City is outstanding and a great place to feature Diabolos for the main boss.

I really want to see the patch dungeons end up with hard modes in the future. I want a Hullbreaker, Snowcloak and Lost City remix very badly.

That's interesting if they keep all of them 'international' aka english speaking. Regular procedure is to split the clusters up in a EFIGS-way, no? I remember Nexon starting Vindictus EU more ore less for the huge german market with the rest of Europe an afterthought. Not at least splitting them up into different languages sounds like a wasted opportunity to really profit of a potential new costumer base.
Or did the EU servers evolve into THE french server, THE spanish server and so on anyway? I have no clue, playing on NA myself right now.

I'm guessing they will reuse them because it'll be a drat shame if they dont. A lot of work went into designing these dungeons and if they have the same 2 old dungeons get turned into hard modes and a new dungeon gets added patch paradigm they need to use them.

I also want a savage crystal tower. :getin:

sadly unfunny

I didn't enjoy Lost City very much, but I've only run it once. I'll bet it's more fun when I know the mechanics ahead of time.

Hullbreaker was alright, but again, I only ran it once, and somebody else was doing the puzzle stuff. The boss fight was pretty fun - maybe that platform-hopping business is worse if you're not a DPS?

Before you jump, double-check that the minion is still available, because I'm almost positive it's not. They were only included in the first runs of discs.

What I really pray for in 3.X is that they just keep every level 60 dungeon in the expert rotation and use ilvl-sync to keep them 'hard', because there's always that point a month or so into a patch when you just get totally loving sick of the same two/three dungeons in the EXDR no matter how nice the music is.

Totally agreed. I'd rather have a spread of 15-20 dungeons to do in EXDR, even if they're older ones, than doing Neverreap and Fractal every dang day. It's also a nice use of content that might otherwise not really see the light of day very frequently.

I finished WoD last night, so the last thing on my checklist of pre-HW content is Bahamut.

As noted, several hours' worth, and that's for the cutscenes you can replay at all. There are some that the book in the inn just doesn't include (such as Tataru's adventures with arcanima), and it never includes any of the "stand and chat without going into full-on cutscene mode" stuff.

General rule of thumb going forward - if you're going to want to watch the cutscenes sooner or later, just watch them when you get to them. Possible exception for cutscenes during duties (the book in the inn is very consistent about having all of those, and party members can get antsy). Max level content will still be there when you get there.

As for alexandrite, your options are basically the daily quest, grinding old hunt seals, grinding poetics (I think), and trying for RNG drops from fates. Take your pick.

So I think I'm confused and I didn't see it in the op. I have a 50 but never finished the story. If I buy the expansion right now. Do I have access to anything new? Or just a waste of money until I've done everything available in the main story?

Sorry I couldn't find anything other than people talking about the new storyline, where my question is more about the class unlocks.

You can hit like level 54 by doing the 2.0-2.55 story which lets you skip a ton of sidequesting in Heavensward.
