How do newly chreated characters / new players supposed to progress naturually

[Daragust]

What amuses me in all of this is you are all assuming that the OP wanted a guide on how to gear. From what I read, the OP is asking how do you do a path of content from 2.0 to 2.4 without missing out on the challenge that was initially there when the content was released.

It sux for new players to once they hit 50 and can't experience the game like we did in the past, or is it still possible to progress naturally with endgame, from 2.0 to 2.4?

It also seems like you would get Caried through all the older content aswell, and some people would like a challenge

OP: If you are looking for the content to progress in a similar fashion and still be challenging, you should find 3 other like minded individuals. This would let you challenge each dungeon along the way in gear that is the iLvl that the dungeon was designed for. If you are relying on DF and hoping to do this solo, it is not likely that it will happen as those who have been in the game for the last year have no interest in gearing down to an instance that they have cleared time and time again.

It is a shame that a new player won't get to experience many fights in the game that were great fights which will never be the same. AK, Ultima, Titan, Caduceus, etc. Even I miss when those were fun and challenging.

BCoB T1 is unlocked at ilvl70 and drops i90s. With nerfs and speedrunners for gear/desynth, it's basically faceroll content now and great for gearing up.

Well, I suspect that is is easier to just skip to 100 for experienced players. I have some friends at end game that still have no idea what they're doing when it comes to their gears ilvl.

and the crying about thinsg being to hard began.

This is an MMO you arent suposed to go level 1-50 + ilvl120 within a week.

Create a new tank or healer and progression will be natural and normal.

It's probably going to take them as long as it did for me to get to DL after release... No they won't ding 50 and jump into expert roulette... But they will be able to work thier way up through the level 50 dungeons gaining soldiery and potentially drops as they go. There's just not any easy way to jump right in to the most relevant end game content within a week. It will take some time and planning.

Also CT gear drops aren't going to be as useful as soldiery but they are ilvl80 which helps the ilvl requirements for more dungeons and it drops a decent amount of soldiery so it's probably a good place to go as a fresh 50.

I don't think CT is the way to go for boosting ilvl. The queues are way too long now to be worthwhile.

Do frontlines - get easy wolf marks and buy all the i90 gear, ez pzee. Rankless i90 gear equivalent to PvE gear and the grind is 100x more fun the hunts and faster too
