Is 1-20 Too fast?

[Sephr]

Meh, I think they need to condense content down in levels anyway. I personally think the current missions should finish by rank 35ish with new ones taking up that higher end so that the story isn't so thin. I also think things like spells should be condensed down, so we get higher ranks by rank 50.

It would certainly make the first 20-30 ranks more interesting, and justify slightly slower levelling speed pre-20. Then we could have the more epic group-based challenging story missions from 35 onwards.

It's obvious that they intended to pretty quickly raise the level cap, but the way the game is now i think it would be wiser to stay at 50, increase the quality and then move on in an expansion or something.

Off-topic a bit, but yeah, 1-20 should be slower and more interesting.

Leveling from 1 to 20 or 1 to 23 isn't just superfast when you play in a party. Did 1-17 in about 40min solo. It took me 2h to get to 24 (duo).
And this is just ridiculous. Gaining several Ranks for killing one enemy is too much.
I mean 1-20 should be way faster than 21-30, but please not 10 times as fast.

BUT
Without low rank content there is no real reason to change it. So we need way slower leveling and rank 10+ content.

But basically i dont understand why the sp system and requirements are so complicated in the first place. The RPG leveling system was perfectly fine 20 years ago, with a slight increase of exp required every new level.

I don't mind being able to going past the first 20 ranks at this speed. There is nothing to do, and you don't have any skills to make your class "playable" yet. I hated the low-level pointless grind in ffxi when you didn't have anything except Fast Blade to spice things up.

As I said previously, there are a huge range of unincluded skills and spells in the game, they could easily condense them down into the current level range and simply create new things with future patches. That said, I think there's a pretty healthy amount of spells received pre-20 anyway, far more than FFXi that's for sure.

Simple solution: Fix the EXP curve

I do feel 1 - 20 is too fast, but until there is a lot of things to do at those levels I can't blame them for speeding the progress up. The class quests start at 20, but if they added new lower level class quests and other things to distract from the grind then they might want to think about slowing down the 1-20 grind.

I think its ok. Did you grind in other mmorpgs ? there 49>50 takes over month. you can hit 49>50 in 4days here.

That isn't the complaint here. The complaint is.

1-20 Takes less then 2 hours. 30 minutes under optimal Circumstances. The XP curve is borked the whole thing needs rebalanced.

tbh no mmo has a balanced leveling curve the higher the level the longer it takes. What PLAYERS did is ease the exp/sp per hour. And found leveling "sweet spots" for certain ranges. But all mmo have that issue of slow and fast sprints. Also no it doesn't take 2 hours to go from 1-20. trust me. I never hit 20- yet. And I tried all cities. You guys seriously "whine" over the dumbest stuff. Can't yall just play then game and only whine over game flaws? Leveling 1-20 in 30-2 hours or 3 days is not a game flaw.
