I got to level 50 in act one

[Selek]

why to show you can and for fun to play
doing so will let you see the game in new way
the game is very odd and new to me after playing the game to its end
now i am setting up a level 50 to see what the game is like doing all the gigs at level 50

Used any trainer for this? Even if I do all Gigs and NCPD jobs, it is still max level 15 for me. Oo

doing things for your self makes it worth more in the end and leveling up is not hard getting items is also not hard with crafting

I do always craft in this game...
Still no explaination how you got to level 50 in act one.

The gig is up to level 50 but it isn't as confusing when you see it all from there.

It's very doable in act 1. Easier to do it past act 1 when you get access to Pacifica exp train.

Basically, all you do is find an area with multiple groups of gangers, kill them, run out to a certain range, come back and repeat. All enemy experience scales with level and enemies not tied to a gig or police quest respawn. In some cases those quest areas leave respawnable hostile encounters too.

This is how I got my character to level 50 immediately after starting act 2, by farming the Voodoo Boys in Pacifica. For Act 1 Watson farming you would probably have to farm the Maelstrom dudes in the back alley in NW Watson or Tyger claws in east Watson by the water and along the road/highway up the hill from there.

Edit: To be clear it's definitely a grind especially to do so in Act 1, but well worth it in my grindly point of view (in act 2). It's nice to play a full build from basically start to finish even if its godly. :)

Edit2: The hard part isn't actually hitting level 50. It's maxing some of your skills during the leveling process or after hitting 50. One of the hardest is Tech Weapons. I suggest using the Comrade's Hammer and a tech Sniper Rifle to use in Pacifica farming firsr by killing through walls. Or just look up quick leveling video guides for all skills.

To answer the OP on how the game feels being at level 50 the entire time. It's a lot more relaxing and story driven. You're not worried about maxing your exp/skill training for every gig and mission. It basically allows you to play the way you want to play and don't have to go out of your way you unlock a door etc. just for the exp. The only problem as I mentioned before is that you can become way too godly. My 8 Body, 3 Reflex, 18 Tech. 20 Intel, 20 Cool build is unkillable and does massive damage. The fists fights were a joke with 100% crit chance and legendary Short Circuit.

I didn't even need to switch my Monowire for Gorilla arms since my bare fists did 5000+ hack damage per hit. The Monowire itself was an AoE version of fists if I didn't decide to just melt entire areas within seconds with legendary hacks. :p

there is lots of ways to get past the lock down to get to pacifica in act 1
its a new game in a way out there in act 1 that few players have seen

I have played through three complete runs, and the best I have done is level 27 in Act !. That is quite a feat, and impressive show of patience.
