Nothing announced but probably November. It opens on the test server on Monday and it's at least 6 weeks from there.

You unlock weapon switch at level 15, so that's a good time to add a second weapon. Eventually you can get them all with minimal issues.

For armor, go heavy chest+legs+helm, med boot+glove, light waist+shoulder for now. Heavy is unequivocally better until you start unlocking passives. Med is probably best long term for DPS but doing a few of each to start lets you level them all up as you level up. A lot of people go heavy chest even if the rest is med or light.

Oh that’s good to know, I’ll keep an eye out for those pieces.

Are there any weapons that are just terrible or can I play pretty much whatever?

Just do whatever everything has its own distinct playstyle.
Bow is range stam
Destro staves are range mag
Resto staves for heals
One hand melee for tanks
two hander and dual wield have some overlap in being melee but they're distinct and both have common uses.

The individual weapons have some that are more meta than others, but that only applies when you unlock the passives, so it doesn't matter while leveling. Until then axe/dagger/mace/sword are the same.

Critical Damage and Healing now has a hard cap of 125%. Note that this value can go beyond 125% but your Critical Strikes will not deal more than 125% damage or healing in total.

Crit chance is not affected (for now). Lots of other changes too. Coming in 6 to 8 weeks.

Keep the mobs grouped so the AoEs hit max targets.

It's not happening. Never say never and all that, but it's not happening. Server transfers might happen someday, maybe, if they can work out a deal with Sony and decide it's worth it, but crossplay isn't happening.

Man I sure do get a lot of issues when trying to log in during EU afternoons. Are connection issues pretty common, or should I be taking a closer look at my router and ISP.

Not sure about your issues specifically, but Steam was making GBS threads the bed for several hours yesterday, so if you were trying to log in through the Steam-bought client, that could have been the issue.

Huh, I was thinking the same but I can still install download and install games from Steam (just tried doing exactly that). More asking just in general, because this is like the fourth time this month (not counting planned maintenance).
