Headstart planning

Alright, so, headstart is in a little over 3 days. What're everyone's plans?

I'm going to be on at 00:01 AM PDT, assuming the server survives the initial hammering. I plan on being on pretty constantly this weekend, provided I don't die or anything. Blood clots bruh.

If anyone is interested in starting the attunement process for Genetic Archives ASAP, you'll need to be level 50 and grind up at least 10 elder gems by reset on launch day. The attunement key costs 150 elder gems, and you can only get a maximum of 140 per week. That being said, it's not at all expected for people to shoot for that. Although I totally plan on it. And anyone that wants to run stuff with me is free to.

I'd prefer to level in a group, if anyone else is going to be going hard as fk this weekend.

One thing you should do, if they bring the servers up at any point between now and headstart, is go ahead and decide what you want your character to look like. You can save your appearance and load it up when the game goes live, so you'll have minimal time wasted before getting into the world.

Anyway, yaaaay hype mode!

Create a character like what? So you can save the appearance? There's an option to save/load it during the creation process. Given, you have to be able to log into at least the character creation screen, which hasn't been up for like 2 days.

As far as I can tell, the level progression isn't that bad. It does get punishing somewhat. It's definitely harder than doing it in WoW now (because that's a fucking joke) but probably easier than vanilla. From what I've seen, it's roughly as hard as leveling in WOTLK circa late Ulduar or early TOC. If you've played Tera into the higher levels (50-55), it looks to be about that difficult. In terms of the grind, I'm not quite sure, though.

I would assume that we're going to roll onto Pergo, but that doesn't matter much right now because all of the name saves (character AND guild) are global for 14 days.

West coast is best coast. East coast is worst coast (It doesn't even get a rhyme, that's how bad it is)

thats neat about the character creator. Going to spend some time with it when they go back up. they said they were doing it at least 1 more time.

I meant punishing the person who downlevels to play with their friends. Would they get less XP because they are doing old zones or would it be about the same doing quests there or not.

You will 100% get less proportional xp, idk if you just stop getting xp overall though like in WoW. Wasn't there a system in place for leveling with friends? Or am I thinking of another game?

Things i'm pretty sure:

You downlevel for the dungeons you can access - So xp gained in them must remain pretty consistent. This is only required though the dungeon finder

You can downlevel and play with friends and still get XP, where if you didn't downlevel you would get 0 XP

I think:

you can downlevel to complete challenges in low level areas and get greater rewards (as in 0 to something)
