Giant arrows pointing to mechanics and/or tutorial for the trial incoming?
I wonder what form the adjustments will be in. Not that it really needs them; the problem with Steps seems to be people's attitudes more than anything else.
Such as?
Field Treatment Camp.

they need to fix the MNK pants drop rate in T13
and by that I mean lower it. I've seen so many MNK pants the last 2 nights of farming 13 it's ridiculous.
they're not even good!

Dragon Kick is all you lot want us for. For shame.
It's pretty bad. I'm betting Alexander normal mode will be just as bad with randoms - which is why my group has decided against doing that.
I might end up doing the same. Luckily, with Alexander, I'm gonna be able to access it as soon as it available so I might be able to establish a good group to tackle it.
Blame Mr. D, not me!
That's because you're doing it on the weekend. Everyone knows you don't do any of them on weekends.

Farm on weekly day, half hour runs!
This. The trolls only run the CT weekly on the weekends. You should know better than that. :T

Hmmmm.
It all makes sense now.

None of you tried to clear it solo in DF queue 3 weeks after the patch was released so I'll forgive you for not understanding why
I've gotten it in trials DR a lot, does that count.
I'm not sure if it needs a real nerf, just a way to reset things if it's obviously going to be a wipe. That is probably the worst part of it.
It's pretty much this.

Most people just get it in trials DR and abandon it immediately so no that doesn't count.
I would say during my futile attempts to clear it in DF, at least half of the time everyone would load in, and then 3 people would immediately drop. This was an amazing waste of time.
It likely will be required. It's also supposed to be tuned with having gear from normal in mind if I recall correctly, so going straight from Amdapor Flying Pits 4mans to savage may be a bit more than just difficult.
There is at least one you get as part of the story, likely the dragon they have showcased the most. Some of the mounts already available will be getting flight powers too, so you may already have one. I think the flying chocos were different colors in the benchmark so that'd mean the regular GC choco will be able to fly if that's the case.
I guess you got bad luck? I haven't had any DF abandons since around it actually came out. We usually wipe once and then clear second time in vast majority of runs I've been in, including the one I just did today.
It's a really easy fight, it's just a time sink. I really would have no problem with it if you could reset. That first wipe I mentioned usually comes because people are new and mess up the Dragon Killer, but they tend to be fine the second go.

Well I guess I learned something today xD
main story is all you need for expansion if your done with that its the best time to take a break
Tanks = warrior, paladin
Healers = white mage, scholar
DPS (Damage) = black mage, summoner, dragoon, monk, bard, ninja
There are links to guides and other stuff in the OP.

What are the pros and cons of having more than one character? Seems like a waste since one character can basically do everything. I might switch to the one character per server. I'm at the $14.99 plan now.
There's stuff on weekly lockouts.

8 man raid has completion lockout and 24 mans have loot lockout. And then there's gear currency on weekly caps.
I think that if you play casually and don't care about having multiple jobs geared quickly one character is more than enough. The biggest draw of alts, to me at least, is being there at the start when new currency is introduced so you can gear up two characters on pace with everyone else.

Outside what has been mentioned about lockouts, there's a few other reasons I can think of to want more than one:
- Friends on other servers
- Want to replay the MSQ
- Want to start a character in one of the main cities you didn't start in with main
- Roleplaying
But at the end, there's nothing wrong with just having one character
.
Feel like I'm ready to come back to the game after a 2 month break. A little over a month to the expansion is enough to tempt me with completing my all 50s goal/beast tribes completion.
I stopped the main scenario story just before the
trial or whatever it's called. I remember notoriety about it with randoms, is that still the case?
I stopped the main scenario story just before the
Chrysalis
Both
The Chrysalis (2.5)
The Steps of Faith (2.55)
They'll get nerfed at a later point. Hopefully they'll keep the mechanics of the fight relatively intact, but perhaps a bit more lenient iLvl-wise (for those who will be plowing through the mandatory ARR story to get to HW).
Well I'll be attempting to give the former trial a fair shake tonight, hopefully things go well.
As a point of curiosity, as anyone in the GAF FC won the lottery with 3 or full numbers? I stopped just before the 2nd week's drawing.

Do you think I do this for free?
Soooo I recently started playing this about a month or two ago. Was enjoying it for the most part. I've only reached level 30 as a thaumaturge, and I'm getting kinda bored. I ocassionaly play with a friend of mine who is a higher level on his main, and my plan was to catch up and do some end game stuff, but I'm struggling to want to play at this point.
Maybe it's because I played a bunch of GW2 before this, but I keep hoping the game will become a little more complex or a little less mind-numbing in terms of combat and exploration.
Any recommendations? Is there a class that is particularly complex in it's playstyle? I've just been running from zone to zone doing the class and story quests, main quest hubs for my level, and levequests, with a dungeon here or there.

You havent unlocked a job yet? Also wait till you start fighting primals and other higher level bosses. So far this game's complexity lies in its higher level boss battles.
Has anyone been able to successfully unlink PSN account from SE account?
I mostly play on PC but I would like to couch PS4 every now and then, or use Remote Play Vita...or unlock trophies but unfortunately my SE account is linked to an old PSN account I don't use anymore.
Can only find bad news about it online, all leading to it being impossible...
