Levelling speed
Is the levelling still super fast that you reach end game in no time? I tried the game a few months ago but it didn’t feel rewarding and I was out levelling everything in no time.

You still level up super fast. I played pretty casual (for me) and reached lvl 40 my second day of gaming. I decided to restart because I was just rushing through the content. I think this game could just skipped the levelling system altogether because you reach max level so quickly anyway and you just feel like you miss stuff if you go to the next zone for "your" level.

Not quite that fast but if it's any slower people will complain because right off the battle pass needs you to do Tier 5 and endgame content.

way too fast. makes crafting worthless and running any dungeon worthless. Why run first dungeon when you can be level 65 in 2 days with no effort.

Yes, it is too fast. I wish there was an option to turn off or reduce exp gain.

This. Some people ran around at max level when I logged in for my second day yesterday morning less than 24h after server start. I myself am level 55 after two days and I did not even try that hard, could have been done with leveling already had I not gone do other things in between. The main story line gives crazy XP.

Alright thanks for the answers everyone. Seems like the sense of progression is completely gone in this game. I don’t think the people who make this game actually play video games. What a shame.

it is if you do the MSQ. As soon as you stop the MSQ it grinds to a halt.

really fast, with MSQ in not even 3h from 31 to 45

I feel like that's just a general error of the MMO genre. All the games start out rather inconvenient and slow leveling, and with the years feel like they have to speed it up so people can get to other activities faster.

The problem is for every guy who is glad they don't have to spend so much time leveling anymore, you also get one guy who is sad the game feels rushed and unmemorable from it. The other problem is if you allow people to get to max level fast their expectation changes to "well if they want me up there that badly, then there must be some crazy good activities waiting in endgame" which barely ever is true.

character main level is a very small part of the grind. real grind starts at lvl 65.
if you havent realised that you must be blind.
