Request for a steeper exp curve on levels

[Shaedhen]

Yet another troll thread. Leveling is beyond easy. Try playing the game instead of just being bad if you think leveling is hard at all.

Yet another one who post without even reading the OP ? It's exactly what we're saying, xp is too easy.

Achievement of what? you've just explained how finally getting to the level cap is pointless and end game is all that matters.

Like once your at cap, instead of seeing 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 on everyone, im saying it should be more content wise, like show a chosen emblem of your achievements.

example.

Fire crest - obtainable by killing ifrit.
Chocobo emblem - Obtainable by raising a chocobo. etc

but this is going on a different topic, lets stick to op.

[Gojin]

only people who want new leveling are already at cap and just want to make it harder for other people so they can boast an brag. You people are like those people in the military who are all like "They're taking away retirement at 20 yrs well I already got mine who cares" freaking selfish bastards thinking end game content is only for them. Everyone else paid their money for this game too they have a right to get to see it as well.

I'm definitely with the OP on this.

And i'm quite speechless seeing so many ppl being happy with the current system of lvling.

sounds to me like a person having all character classes almost up to lv 50 and havent leveled since patch 1.19.

its a mess since patch 1.19 for leveling solo as a conjurer (you make much less damage than before) and the mobs are much harder than before. it was WAY easy for me pushing low level class characters with my lv 39 physical level (pre patch 1.19) ... now its MUCH MUCH harder .

I mean my linkshell fellow told me when leveling his lv 35 conjurer again "thank god i leveled my thm till maximum lv before patch 1.19. (well im just looking at your char profile)

5 star leves? no problem for me solo as a lv 4 class character.


sorry, doesnt really sound to me that you had experienced the level system since patch 1.19... of wait... you got already your lv 50 thm.
the exp system was broken in some patches before, i think nobody needs to mention this!


the maximum lv cap wont stay at lv 50 at all. so you want to raise the exp curve for now? when we're going to have a maximum cap of lv 79/90 or so?

LOGICALLY conclusion, really! *claps his hands*


me as a casual player, playing not that often, still doesnt have a maximum char. but what i miss isnt a higher exp curve... it's more about the contents!! doin' more than just leves or to grind your ass off.

THAT should be much more important! cant stand your opinion at all, sorry.

my lvl before 1.19 : thm 50, gla 50, cnj 45-ish, lnc 22, arc 22, mrd 30, pug 24
i have now : everything @ 50 except pug 43, arc 41
So yes, i kinda experienced the new lvl system.

I'm happy with the fact that we can now xp in party don't get me wrong, but i completely disagree about the insane amount of xp we get only by spamming random aoe over and over again.

ok well then please do not talk about "exping" when you pushed all your characters in AEO groups... do me a favour and level your pug to lv 50 (a mage class would have been better, or from lv 1 till max) till lv 50 just doing solo content (guildleves etc.)

its like I'd complain about the exp curve when letting high level characters power level my low char till lv 50. sorry. and.. you seem to have much time. me does not


are you one of these guys that want to have back to old trashy, brillant "fatigue system"? *sarcasm off*
maybe thats why you complain about "fast leveling".

Like once your at cap, instead of seeing 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 on everyone, im saying it should be more content wise

agreed.. but there we come to the "real" problem.. its the missing content. you cant do much except grinding and doing guildleves.

and thats why some players complain about "fast" leveling because they are frightened to see, that there is no content after doing the grind *lol


thats a MUCH more important point. the less content we are having till now. and its not just about boss fights.. there should be much better, exciting! SIDEQUEST's for leveling! not just even guildleves and stuff.

what is really way too easy are the missions and quests

I lvled my thm 1 to 50 solo with the fatigue system on. It wasn't that hard, and it's not harder now. Just slower than xp pt.

its like I'd complain about the exp curve when letting high level characters power level my low char till lv 50. sorry. and.. you seem to have much time. me does not

What exactly i am supposed to do ? I'm not having that much time to play no matter what you seems to think. When i do i choose the easy way yes, but this kind of easy way shouldn't exist. I'm not gonna solo random mobs just to show everyone i'm against the amount of xp you get in xp pt.

are you one of these guys that want to have back to old trashy, brillant "fatigue system"? *sarcasm off*

Never said that. But it's true i'm not too happy about the fact that it took me months to get 2 jobs to 50 while now you can do it in a week pretty easily. Seems to me like SE isn't rewarding the ones who played right from the start (or almost right from the start). I know they need more ppl on the game and making the lvling easy is one way to be more attractive to the new players. It's just that I don't think it's how they should treat the ones who supported the game for a whole year.

Besides that, just like the OP said, I think it's nice to have ppl specialized in certain jobs and not everything. When you start a ls event, you know who's gonna be the healer, who are the strong DDs, who's the tank and so on. It has some kind of roleplay vibe that is now gone.

agreed.. but there we come to the "real" problem.. its the missing content. you cant do much except grinding and doing guildleves.

If, like you say, you don't have too much time to play, there's quite enough content. guildleves, company leves, chocobo caravans, toto-rak, shopshae, sidesquests, strongholds, dzamael, nms, ... it's not perfect but that should keep you busy for a while.

I lvled my thm 1 to 50 solo with the fatigue system on. It wasn't that hard, and it's not harder now.

ah and how you can say this having your mage classes at maximum level? *heads shaking* thats what you THINK it is now after 1.19. . But what you think and what IS now, are completely different pairs of shoes.

i've read much complains about soloing is much harder than ever before.

like i've written before and to quote my linkshell fellow while leveling his lv35 con "Wow im glad that i leveled my thm before patch 1.19 till maximum lv".


So you shouled be glad about it having your mage class already up to max lv! congrats to this.
But you do so much less dmg as a solo con than ever before on monsters.. and all in all you cant kill mobs that easy than before.. you cant kill anymore a monster which is just 2-5 levels higher as you. before patch 1.19 it was easy to perform massive damage on the mobs as a con. just as an example

it was easy fore me hitting 5 star guildleves. it was easy to push my low classes on my own. so why dont you talk about these changes? which have been before really unbalanced and MUCH more easier than now?

heh? sure you dont talk about that. you have your maximum chars already. killing a monster the same level as you was way easier in version pre 1.19. and thats a fact you cant deny. seriously.


its funny to see people complaing about fast leveling who almost have their high level characters up.
.... and leveled their classes in an also "broken" level exp system. congrats to this


it needs fine tuning, thats no question. but its a step into the right direction. and i dont think to "raise the exp curve" would be a good development.. for whom?

[Shaedhen]

...
Read my previous posts, i've already answered about that. I'm happy about the fact that xp is more party than solo oriented. And for the record, you heard complains about guildleves because ppl stick with their 5 stars rather than lowering them to 1-2 stars. Get mobs same lvl as you and it's a joke.

no its not, not as a conjurer for example... see and thats what you THINK... create a new character please and try it out yourself! dont talk about things you've not experienced.

its not that easy than before. Killing down a mob of your level isnt going that fast as before. s.. it seems like they have much more LP, but they have much higher defenses now.. especially a mage class (con) knows this. before i killed mobs with 3-6 lvs higher than me without any prob.

so it isnt about "lowering your stars to 1-2" blabla... it was really hard for me doing 1 star lv 40 leves with my lv 38/39 con as an example.


you have much more to chose whisely which element is the best against the mob... one element does 86 dmg on the mob, while the other does around 180-240.. and elements which are neutral to the mob are doing around 100-170.. so you're not doing 240 dmg all the time no matter which spell you casted right now... comes to the conclusion you're doing not that much damage as before.

and i think it does involve all other classes as well. killing mobs of your own lv and higher is a bit harder than before (and taking more time as well). everyone experienced that
