30 hours or less?

[Rokien]

Hello everyone, Rokien again! I hope everyone is having a good week, I know I'm having a great week!

I would like to talk about leveling again~ I know, you don't want to, but it is an interesting topic, especially because nobody has brought up how long it takes to level(that I have seen).
In a yoshi-p interview, yoshi said it would take 30 hours to get to level 15, if you don't get sidetracked. Now, that brings up a lot of questions, or maybe just a few.

*How long is it going to get to cap from level 15?
*Is there THAT many quests, or is it going to be a mix of everything?
*What will sidetrack us? What low level content are they going to be added, because level 15 is party play, so dungeons won't be till then(probably).
*If level 15 is ideal party time, does that mean quests will turn into party quests, or all party stuff will be dungeons/raids?

I can keep going but I think that covers at least the jist of it. I'm bringing this up because this is one thing that I and other have complained about, the leveling speed of 1.x. I am very pleased, even if it is just quest based leveling/grinding/whatever. I'm happy to see that at least 1-15 is going to be the length of at least a single player game. That just brings the door wide open post 15! As much as I complain, I am excited to see what is going to happen with the game.

Here is what Yoshi said: "... For myself I am thinking of level 15 as an ideal level for setting up a party and trying out a dungeon. If you don’t sidetrack to get to that point probably would take about 30 hours....If the starting point is too fast it would make the later stages hard, also if you try to cram everything at once you can’t remember them. By learning the official you have to use them several times or you won't learn it, thinking of that it’s about 30 hours. If you play 2 hours a day it’s about 2 weeks timing. If you’re playing just for efficiency you could probably get through much faster (laugh)"

As always thanks for teh translation Reinheart!

Please, hate, discuss and argue!

Inb4 unjustified rage.

It's a bit short IMHO considering 30 hours will probably be consolidated into less than 10 for optimal exp. I'd say 4 weeks (60 hoursish) is a comfortable time to spend leveling a job.

Of course that is if the game has any content for anything other than cap.

Ya, besides quests I wonder what other activities will there be for us? I know dungeons, though, I don't really expect dungeons to start post 15, because that's when he wants party play. So, nm hunting?

PROTIP:

Don't start your posts with "Hi, Rokien here!" when you're trying to have a legitimate thread. At this point, people who dislike you are automatically irritated.

Don't end your posts with "Haters gonna hate" or anything similar, this just reeks of hostility.

Instead of posting that, why don't you post about the subject at hand.

Wait till 2.0 and see for yourself

It's getting worse with each passing post.

Onto the topic at hand, I can't see this as being a bad thing. I think MMOs need justified length, and the whole ideal of pushing towards end-game needs to change, enjoying the journey is great. As long as the 30 hour length is without grind, and without boredem; nobody will even notice and have a great time doing so.

I believe you've raised an interesting topic ~

I hope readers can look past the 'Rokien' brand and think about this seriously. I do ponder about levelling up in 2.0.
Personally, I'd love it to be slower, too.
