Alexander difficulty (and other things)

[Sin]

I went in the morning of release and my experience was relatively pleasant.

 

We one shot the first floor, two shot the second floor, three shot the third floor, and I lost counts on the last floor, but we managed the kill probably five or six attempts in.

 

All in all not too bad, I feel the quality of the last group was lacking a bit too, and most of the wipes were sort of just recognizing what something looks like. Little things that you get by doing rather than reading. It was also a four BRD group, which not to pile in the BRD Hate, but coulda contributed.

 

It helped that I had a reddit TLDR guide up on my other monitor and was able to copy paste it for people who were new.

 

All in all, I think the difficulty is in a good spot, not too soft, not too hard, but then again its all dependent on the difficulty of savage.

The only difficulty I had was casters running around when an add was attacking them, made the fights more difficult then they really were.

As a player that downed all the ARR EX primals exclusively through DF I found the challenge levels of Alex normal to be almost perfect for the average DF player, with the earlier floors slightly easier and the latter floors slightly harder.

Alex is a cake walk,, no reason anyone should be failing floors after your first tour clear.

 

I do raise an eyebrow at full yashans with no weapon. And groan at people trying to sneak in with green pieces.
