2.0 Leveling

[SuzakuCMX]

Why have levels at all than? Leveling is really pointless to be honest in a system like this. Just make it where you learn your skills via quests, there is no point in levels.

Leveling is pointless in the system we have now. You don't learn anything by grinding. You don't learn to party play unless you party play, and grinding in a party right now is just "let's spam all our AoE and keep ourselves healed." You don't learn how to do the dungeons or Ifrit or Garuda or Mog by doing party-grinding, either, and you don't necessarily learn all there is about your class doing anything, either.

EDIT @ Elexia: That isn't quest chaining. Guildleves have nothing to do with each other. They're a ton of separate, repeatable quests.

Done right

Main problem: It's never been done right in an MMO before, so it always negates one route. Always. SE is creative but they are trying to make this like every other MMO on the market instead of standing out.

GC quest are not top of the notch quality either, most of them are "GO to X, talk to Y, blablabla kill Z, go back to Y, go back to X"

They are basically streamlining the leveling experience to eliminate the grind to end-game. Basically you just have to play through all of the content to hit level 50.

Yet they're better quality than generic quests found in most MMOs.

I actually read quest dialogue in this game, if I'm not about to go to bed >.>

If Grand Company quests are the type of standard they're going for, I'll be very pleased =P

Seriously if all you people can do is think of dungeons and primal fights? What's the point in the open world.

And these 200 quests they wanna add, you really think they could put good quality in all of them?

Ok, let's take 2 sentences out of posts and ignore everything else. This is how discussions work, right?

I'm kinda disappointed by this. I mean give us exp for other shit too, sure. But I actually like camps. I don't really see any reason to take them away.

it's not like they said "we'll removing exp camps", they just said we'll advance in levels doing content. I think exp camps will be still there as a choice
