Are the live servers still...

Read my posts again because I am talking about potency not resolve. Also if I didn't like the game I wouldn't be playing it. Overall I think Chaos Descending is a pretty good expansion. In some ways it is one of the best they have ever put out but at the same time very frustrating with certain mechanics. The methodology here is that the squeaky wheel gets the oil so I raise my voice with issues that come up because I want the game to be the best it can be.

If you already have the premium collector's edition of Chaos Descending you should be good to go playing on live. That mount gives a huge bonus when you get to level 110. It is the players without the mount and familiar that run into issues with not having enough potency to run heroic and raid zones. Don't worry about the ascensions. There is no rush to instantly level them up. If you harvest and research them you will be fine.
