Managed to reach Level 51 before logging off for the time being. Don't know what I'll tackle next but so far I'm enjoying myself

Does it still cost a ridiculous amount to move servers? I just got everything registered and and currently updating, but if it's still something crazy like $20, I guess I'll be hanging out by my lonesome on Sarganatas.

So, just managed to get in the game and I already have a question:
How does one redeem the Collector's Edition bonuses (the minion, mount, fantasia, etc.) if you ordered the digitial CE off PSN?

You wait for the game to be released then check your mailbox.
How hard is it to unlock flight?

There's at least a dozen of us on Sarg, find someone from Red Dot and apply.

Further technical difficulties with PSN. It looks like it's not going to let me register the digital copy of this game with my mog station account until the 23rd.
So, even though I own the game already, and have early access privileges from the CE version I bought for PC, they're not going to let me play early on my PS4.
Getting my pc working again is my last hope.
Yeah, unfortunately Square sees the PS4 and PC versions of the game as completely separate, each needs their own copy of Heavensward to access the content, each needs their own Early Access code. Heck, check this out - if you have Heavensward on one platform and log out in a Heavensward area, you cannot log in at all on the platform without Heavensward. You've basically locked yourself out of playing on that platform in that situation.

Awww man I miss this game. Dark knight is right up my alley too.
Might have to see if I can convince the wife to let me join up again.

Better than 90k day
In A Realm Reborn player characters had an invisible light source in front of them, so they were always lit. In Heavensward this is disabled by default to generate a darker atmosphere.
The setting is just in case you don't like the new lighting.

Not really hard, just take a long time reaching all those place/finishing the required sidequest.
I think the bigger issue is that I bought the bundle, and they aren't sending out the codes to activate it until the 23rd, or something. I'd have likely avoided this issue if I'd bought them separately, I think.
This is true. How have the servers been holding up for everyone today?

I remembered that after the fact. Before the fact, well I'm working on around 4.5 hours sleep, and had spent a couple hours trying to diagnose and fix my computer beforehand. Mentally I wasn't at my best.
Not the end of the world of course, so long as I eventually get my PS4 copy working. Just makes it more important to try to get my PC working again in the meantime.

After the initial 80 minutes of dead server, no instability whatsoever.
holy shit yessssss
So 3978 MB is the last block to download, after the 1700 or so MB from the pre-load?
Was hoping to play a bit in about 3 hours (5 AM local time; I work overnight), but it looks like I'll be setting the PS4 to start downloading and then I'll go to sleep.
Nope, there's another ~2 gigs to download. Make sure to keep the launcher open and ps4 on. DL stops if you suspend or put the ps4 on rest mode.

If I buy this today from the SE store will I still get early access to heavensward?

Do what I do and run up to them on your healer class and sit down with them (while they're dead) and talk with them about their choices in life. If they're not open to new ideas like not jumping off cliff faces while aggroed or into a gaggle of enemies six levels higher than them, leave without raising them.

Hmm... well if you want PM me or something and we can try to work this out, I still have a few ideas in mind to resolve this
And this game is still as beautiful as ever if not more
If you buy base game and expansion separately, I think so.

Well I'm about to try flashing the Bio's with a DVD ROM drive I borrowed with work. I'll let you know if it doesn't work.

So what's this talk about being able to solo low level dungeons? Can you just solo without level cap assuming you are high enough lv to handle it? I had no idea this was a thing.
What the patch notes say (and they've been talking about this for a while now) is that if you join a level sync'd dungeon with less than the full amount of players, you can turn off the level sync. So yes, you can be level 60 and run around terrorizing Sastasha. You don't get item drops or EXP but you get completion credit, or in the case of raids, treasure chest spawns.
Even with level sync, they buffed that to use stats that don't reflect normal quality items of that level, but of at least green items (I think). Throw in the changes to the crit stat modifying your crit multiplier and skill/spell speed influencing dots, and they've made low level dungeons a little less of a chore.

Trying to get back in but damn SE support takes a long time. Shoulda wrote down that emergency token removal password.
No errors, no lag if you don't go into overcrowded maps.
Usually what seems to happen is people fall by accident, get down to 1 HP, and then get aggroed by the nearby monster for a one shot.
And in no way has this happened to me. Twice. Nope. Not me. I am not my own worst enemy. >_>
It's still amusing watching people die tho.
