Faster leveling N0o0o0o0o0o!

These threads are so stupid.

With all the rapid changes, all your "levelling" you did in 1.0 was useless, when 2.0 comes you will have to relearn all your classes again anyway, or at least to some degree, then there was the time we lost all our abilities and went to having 15, had to learn it all over again, then they gave us jobs and we have to yet again, learn again.

Thus all that so called "levelling to learn your class" was a utter waste of time end of day.

Leveling doesn't make you learn your class in anyway, sure you might know which skill does what a bit better but a day in a stronghold can do that. Hitting a Beastman mob or a raptor over and over does not in anyway resemble the same difficulty and skill you need for any end game content. You are not a better player than someone else because you hit the same mob for 50 levels or didnt hit that mob.

Not to mention if you play solo or duo or very casual, and dont PL, the levelling is tough, its very grindy, its very boring as you're limited to a few things as no one makes EXP PT's until 40 (players fault not devs) so it does need to be more accessible.

And casuals in the end are the bigger audience (thus more bank), i think there is games out there that can prove this.

But in the end, ya'll need to stop crying, sure threads popup about this but it doesn't mean much at all when the player poll stated that leveling is fine =D

I think it's good this leveling up and is not too fast. Hope will remain the same in 2.0. It's great taking exp even from the quests. Compared to FF XI is better by far because it's not frustrating. No synch and long parties. You can simply also play by ur own and get a good amount of exp.

wait, are you saying leveling isnt fast now?

they dont need to speed it up its already fast, i think its just confirming itl stay fast

and that itl ONLY be to 50 that itl be fast

You can get from 1 to 50 as a DoH in a couple of weeks if you've got the materials, or at least the leves to do it. DoW/DoM you can definitely get from 1 to 50 in a week if you have a party. Levels 1-20 go by very fast (obtainable in a day or two), levels 20-40 might take a bit, but 40 to 50 is easily done with a party in Natalan over the course of about two days. DoL is probably the slowest leveling of them all. If you only worked on a DoL for a month, doing some each day, you could get it from 1 to 50. From 1 to 40 on a DoL isn't all that bad, considering you can do Level 30 leves at Level 25 without failing - and that you'll get somewhere along the lines of 10,000 EXP for completing it..

The hardest part of FFXIV's leveling isn't the difficulty curve, it's finding the time and stamina (and occasionally the resources/materials) to do it with.

I really hope it's not faster than it is right now. Actually, I hoped it would be slower in 2.0.

I only started playing a few months ago, and I got my first two 50 jobs in TWO WEEKS. No PL. Seriously SE? By the end of my first month I already had 3. Then I was told by a friend I should apply to an endgame LS. I was like, "wait, what? endgame? I've only been playing for one month! O_o"

I find it funny when people talk about "endgame" in this game, mostly because it seems like it's THE ONLY thing that we have in the game. Leveling is only a tiny obstacle that needs to be taken care of so you can get to this "endgame" ASAP. It also seems rather off to have access to "endgame" by the end of your free trial period.

"Endgame" should be that content that you get access to MUCH later in the game. I remember only having access to my first endgame LS ONE YEAR after I started playing XI. It took a lot of time, it took effort, and it took me to learn how to play my job well; not just for the events, but because I never would've made it to 75 without learning to play anyway. In here, you can get there in less than a month -days if you get PL'd-, and learning how to play or how the game works? Pff. I've seen people at level 40-something asking how to invite people to a party, for crying out loud. People at 50 that don't even know there's a search function in the game. And it only seems like they want to make it faster, neglecting all that comes before it.

Now, if there's pretty much no early game or mid game because of this obscenely fast pace, how the hell can we call what we have "endgame"? At this rate, this stuff isn't "endgame", it's where the game actually starts. If that's their idea, then why don't they just let us pick which job do we want to have at 50 from the very character creation screen?

The poll showed that leveling was just right with strong majorities in every national group. Why would they change it?

people bitch just to bitch. But mainly because stuff got fixed in the last patch so theres nothing to really complain about so they got back to older things that dont matter.

The reason I complain about it is because it makes the game have a multitude of problems. The majority may want it, but the game will suffer in the long run. Fast leveling hurts the economy, game structure/content, the community, longevity of the game, and the journey/experience of the player.

I didn't ask why you complain. I'm asking why would they change it when the majority like it.
