DRK is fun, although it feels weird being lvl 45 and not looking even remotely edgy.

At a quick glance two things stuck out. Companions staying out when your on any mount and a possible Mudra lag fix!

Is there a casual rerolled group on gilg? I transferred and I'm looking for a guild.

Does the MSQ ever quit being awful? Feels like I can't do dungeon runs cause I'll out level the MSQ. I'm 27 now and just got to getting a chocobo.

If I buy the Heavensward PS4, does it give me access to the base game as well? Or do I need to purchase both?

joz123 · Nov 7, 2015

Both. Heavansward is the expansion only.

1am (PST) Void Ark blind runs, naturally. Anything else is beneath you!

Gonna warn y'all right now, don't PuG the new expert dungeons. Pharos Sirius HM actually has DPS checks.

Valorath · Nov 10, 2015

Aww yea, going to re-up my sub tonight when I get home from work. Been waiting for the patch.

Edit: Just saw Kirin can now fly, woot!

Nice! Better resub before they pander to the crying masses and nerf the fun out of them.

I started this up about a week ago, and first off, if anyone is in need of the base game or the expansion, GreenManGaming has a 20% off sale. I picked up Heavensward for a smooth $32.

Highest I ever got was 27, and I've plowed through up to 49 on my Warrior with the full intention of going DRK asap. I just completed Cape Westwind (Trial) and did the remaining story quest up til the guy has a red quest icon requiring lvl 50. Only then did I hit up a website to see the access quest for Ishgard, and when I started clicking the "this quest requires ______ quest" it just never ended...I must have gone through at least 50. All level 50 MSQ and all stemmed from that original. Is that right? Do fresh level 50s have a metric shit ton of quests to slog through before accessing the new classes?

Yep, you have to get through 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.55 to access Heavensward. Basically every major content patch.

If you just skip cutscenes and blow through it asap, you can get into heavensward in 1-2 evenings of questing after hitting 50.
