In other words, forget about playing for awhile when the servers come back up.

Not the same level of shittiness, but got the maintenance message during Darkhold, and the healer bailed after the 2nd boss. We could have gone beast mode and finished it. Good times.

No no, the quest hubs are opened by the related story quest. So you're never going to unlock these quests, unless you make another char that starts there. There just isn't many quests, and basically enough for 1 char(at certain level ranges there's more, like I had a bunch of left overs at 30 or so that I used on my botanist, got me an easy level). Leveling an alt is done by simply killing shit, completing your hunting log(which only gets you a level, but eh that's one level every 10levels) and doing FATEs. Lots of FATEs. FATE reward is affected by the 50% bonus xp from playing a class other than your highest, meaning you level up super fucking fast. It is also super fucking boring, but it's not grindy boring. I mean, grindy boring, but not slow grind boring.
Do fates, do xp chains on random mobs inbetween, do dungeons if you're a healer/tank whenever they open(first lvl you get chain xp since mobs are same lvl as you, so dungeons are good xp then but if you're DPS you'll get a level before you get a queue pop up), do hunting log, do leves if you don't plan on lvling crafting anytime soon and/or are at the cap of leve(99).
Amazon actually opened digital sales of the game up today, both standard and collectors editions for a little while. They're unavailable again now, but might be up again tomorrow after the server capacity increase.
For those on the fence, people will always find things to bitch about and this game has a few things that make you wonder wtf where they thinking but in this case its usually "damn such an amazing game EXCEPT for XYZ". Its pretty damn fun and I'd highly recommend it for casuals or serious gamers alike up to this point. I need to get Titan down still but all and all it has something for everyone. It just sucks because some guilds had good luck with server log ins etc and others had half their members hardly get to play. We have a very competitive high end guild but are lacking a tank and another healer from doing much group activities for primals etc since all the planned tank/healers seemed to get locked out for days on end.
If I was them , even with a shitty launch, I would be very happy that people are rabid to play your game.
I've had every intention of being an end game healer, but I haven't even unlocked Scholar yet due to logouts and spending time with my wife and kid. Holy shit does having a kid completely crush your ability to do any sort of gaming while they are awake (assuming you want to be around as a parent anyway).
The game has been out a week. I am sure that your hopes and dreams of being an end game healer can still be realized!
