Confusion of the highest orda

[Anthr]

So in another thread we ended up talking about leveling and maximum level during EA and at full release, and what end up happening is me searching around the net for information, because the more I tried to remember everything that was said about leveling, the more I got confused.

So I have some questions, and If Marco or someone from Larian can confirm them It would be fantastic.

Whats Early Acess maximum achievable level?
Whats the current maximum achievable level that you envision for full release?
Do the levels match to the ones from PHB?

Level 4 will be the cap for Early Access.
Originally we announced level 10 as the cap for the full game, however we saw all the feedback from the community and also our testers and are re-looking at the level cap but we aren't at the point we can share a level number at this point.

so even if i (somehow manage to) kill all 596 characters in EA i'm still going to max at 4? holy crap that will be a lot of killing to get the max level whatever that might be

Not sure why I called you Marco, but I guess thats your nickname for me now, sorry.

Also thank you!

so thats about 1 level every 8 hour of the ea, that seems pretty slow.

Wait why? I would say a level every 5/6 hours, if its every 8 you are suggesting the EA to be 32 hours, which seems much more than they said it would be.

Also it does make sense, D&D levels are really high stakes, Its used to be pretty much like this in previous games as well, if you didn't go for power leveling that is, you can always take those easy quests...

well you start at level 1 so only 3 levels to level, unless i missed something

if the EA has hard cap that you cant get to 5 so technically still 4 levels 1-->2, 2-->3, 3-->4 and 4-->4.999 :)

Math was never my strong suit. I feel like an idiot, my apologies.

Well you will probably spent 8 hours just in the character creation as well. Or at least I will. If I ever get out of it, I could get stuck.

That said, you are kinda right about it sounding slow. We shall see in 5 days I guess.

so anyone seen how the level up works, what do you get each level? do it feel like you have grown in power? i am curious as i havent played 5e, i still play the older versions of PnP.
