So this weekend was early access for Heavensward. You know hubby & I were all over it, starting Friday.
I must say, the new areas are expansive and beautiful. It's like a clear distinction between ARR & HW. They are like 2 different worlds. HW has 6 new areas, each massive. That is why we have the ability to fly.
The main story picks up from left off. It so far covers Ishgard issues and some ARR issues (that whole frame up issues). The new side quests and Beast Tribe stories are interesting. However, some of these side quests should be put under beast tribe quests and not just regular side quests.
So far, there's no grinding in the open. There are fates happening on a regular. We tried a few of them. There are hunt books (really don't know what else to call them, not really the S or A rank hunt stuff). We have tons of quests to do. There's no place that doesn't give you experience.
The only thing that's time consuming is looking for aether currents to fly. As of today, I only have 2 areas out of 6 where I can fly. They are not so easy to get. Sometimes a pain to get. But it is all a part of the fun.
We have also found sightseeing spots with our hunt and flying. I think we found 2 or 3. I haven't even touched those logs at all. They seem to be marking them now. So no guessing needed if you stumble upon them. You still may have to decipher the hint in the log otherwise. If you keep flying, you may find them.
I am really liking this new expansion. I'm having fun. So far I have completed 2 dungeons and 1 trial. First dungeon, Dusk Vigil, was a bit easy. Second dungeon, Sohm Al, was a bit hard but was able to complete on first time. Able to use mechanics learned from ARR that has been ingrained in me. The enemies in second dungeon had way too much HP tho. They didn't go down fast enough.

At end of day last night, hubby and I were level 54. We are not hardcore raiders who are level 60 already. We are enjoying the game and not skipping cut scenes. We also go to bed at decent hours. But we will be continuing our journey.
Here are some pics:
