You may or may not want to start a new character to quickly re-familiarize yourself with the game before jumping back to your main character, but don't just give up and restart. ARR + however far you got into 2.x isn't really worth doing over, especially since you gain nothing and nothing meaningfully changes between characters.

Besides, you'll probably pick the game back up way, way quicker than you're thinking.

The main thing I'm worried about is will there be any dungeon or duty stuff that I'll miss if I continue with my old character? I suppose it won't matter because I can always go back with other jobs for lower level stuff.

No that's not possible.

And the game now has a "Next Story Quest Here" button

Based on the last page they did a quick reset and a 5-min rollback maybe who knows? Excalibur went down and the Discord exploded with goons as we all shrieked in unison "404, 404" into the mid-afternoon sky

Half or more of the playerbase still being gated behind a 61 quest is really loving bad, even aside from the more normal lag and disconnecting. People keep trying to defend it by pointing to bad launches by other games, but the most relevant comparison here is Heavensward, which was super good compared to this. For whatever reason, they poo poo the bed this time, and it's okay to admit that. Howling at the moon in rage won't fix it, but neither will being condescending to people who are upset.

Ruby Sea isn't totally dead, but yeah it's definitely much emptier than the pre-gated content. I was being generous, and I guess it doesn't occur to me until it's mentioned that not having every quest npc swarmed with players is a bad sign.

I know a few dozen people in game. One has gotten past the second trial quest, a few have gotten past Ruabahn. A bunch have been playing since servers came up in the morning on Friday, and have been stuck since then.

It'd be nice if only half the game population was stuck.

Hi SE,

Mr Happy here. Other players are queuing for MY next solo instance and it's really hampering my progression. If I'm unable to move on then how can I continue churning out insightful and enticing content to attract more and more players to your game? Please shut the server down and open it up just for me so I can continue putting in hard work for you.

Sincerely,
A huge human being.


In other news, PVP rewards are brokenly good. You get all this poo poo and you don't even have to play this game. I'm getting 700k XP and 50 poetics just for typing this post. They should really nerf this but I doubt they will. PVP is the new PotD, at least for 60+.

The worst thing I know of that Mr.Happy did was try and cheat at Fanfest a couple of years back. They had a "Do a 2.X EX Primal at i90!" as a challenge. Apparently Mr. Happy got that particular challenge and tried to cheat by not actually equipping the i90 and instead staying in the default i100 gear on the toon they give you.

Still not even close to a reason to call him a human being.

I heard it was more that the challenge wheel was on "do the fight without equipping left side chest/pants pieces", and he tried to move the wheel to the easier "do the fight with an ilvl cap" while the coordinator wasn't looking.

In front of a huge crowd of people.

I really wish that people who got disconnected had their server slot reserved for a few minutes. Nothing like getting randomly booted from a Frontline match right at the end, and then having a 1000 man queue in front of you to log back in

I can't remember exactly where I found one but it was either in the stream near the MSQ cockblock in the first zone or in one of the spots in Ralger's Reach.


I've been looking for the 61 fish for the collectible.

I've only done Frontline. Skill use feels very intuitive straight out the gate, allowing you to think more tactically. So as someone who kinda felt intimidated by the Feast before I'm more inclined to try it now.
