Double EXP periods. {Can I have it?}

[Elexia]

These promotional bonuses don't all have to be EXP bonuses.

I'm not sure why people think this would be game breaking. It would increase traffic (buyers for my crafted items) on the weekends.

If a casual gets to 50, does a chocobo lose its wings?

Let's use a bit of common sense shall we?

Fast Exp system + double the speed of fast exp + skyrocketing past all content and going straight to the end-game content that we know won't all be there at release and come in chunks through updates = ???

You do realize double+ exp events are generally for slower MMOs, right? You can level 1-50 in 1.0 in days, even sooner if you happen to land in a good linkshell and someone agrees to power level you, which is quite common btw.

Ignored the first line did we? I said I don't care if they're not exp bonuses.

You're also ignoring the fact that 2.0 will have slower leveling.

Nope didn't ignore the first line you said you don't see why it would be game breaking. Blowing past everything is exactly why even 1.0's setup is horribly done. Why should I bother with low-mid level gear or content when I'll be end-game no time flat? 2.0's leveling won't be slower, they already confirmed it will be basically the same speed.

I understand the fear of having no content @ 50... that would be a bigger problem then leveling too quickly.

Maybe it's just me but when you have the opportunity to level multiple jobs, the game need to be enjoyable enough to justify that replay value.

The reason why easier MMO's are so popular isn't because they're easy to get into... they're hard to put down.

For completely new players who just started about how long would it take to understand the system in general
Y: The answer to that one will change depending on the definition of system in general. 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.

Was it planned to structure it so it takes 30 hours or did it end up that way after making the tutorial quests?
Y: We had 30 hours as a target when making. We are working on the amount of message or the time it requires to clear one content.

Why did you plan 30 hours?
Y: 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)

30 hours is a lot longer than it currently takes (even if that's not a straight EXP requirement)

I think he meant (with his first line) that the concept of the event in general wouldn't necessarily be game breaking, in that we could have different types of events like...2x mobs or something, not that 2x exp weekends wouldn't be game breaking.

[Andrien]

Leveling in this game is already way too fast. Double exp periods would be a joke.

oh did you xp in 2.0 already? please tell how it is like

I think I should point out that by that interview, Yoshida means it would take about 30 hours to get to around level 15, not 50. so yeah, levelling is gonna be slower in 2.0

[Kalsic]

oh did you xp in 2.0 already?

Why YES! I did. I'm from the future after all! Don't cross the street outside your house on September 23rd at 2:20PM eastern time... Trust me.


I understand that leveling in 2.0 maybe slower, but looking at these results I doubt it.

please tell how it is like

it like how?

[NefGP]

I'd settle for Atma of the Razed Ruins.

Oh wait, wrong game
