another landmass added ... but still capped at level 12

[Dogtown1]

I dont get in a hurry and try to clear an entire area before moving to the next
so the problem I ran into was I was maxed out 12 before I could finish the snowy mountain area
.. there needs to be an unlimited xp gain, no new abilities, I understand that is a TON of more work...... just let me gain some xp past 12 and get a few stat points

its not fun to play with no reward

How do people even reach lvl12 way before finishing the game? I've spent a ton of time doing every quest and grinding ghost packs and by the time I was done with the last region my companions barely scratched lvl9.

My game is 100 hours long at this point and I only need to complete the crime path plus the co-op stuff now, and my ponies are still level 9-12, but all my mercenaries are level 12. One of the quests (or at a location, I don't remember) gives you an item which transfers 20% of the profession xp you gain to your combat xp for example. That is how I level them a bit faster. For the animals/ponies in your band there are those earmuffs you can make with the tinkerer, that gives 20% extra combat xp also. I eat food that gives extra xp + the extra xp you get when paying on time and eating well etc. It all adds up, but it is very time consuming.

I agree with OP though, I would also like an incentive to keep on playing. Maybe its on its way *crossing fingers* :-D

Edit: Oh yeah I believe a few legendary items also award you with both 5% profession xp and another gives you combat xp too. I am too lazy to launch the game and check though rofl (or rather I am rendering pr0n)

damm, i almost got 9 and im starting last location, how do you even get 12 lvl....
my times is 143 but i played before release around 60-70 hours

Training dummy and a lot of camping will get your team at max level faster

[ArcticCheetah]

the new cap with tomorrows dlc is 13, not much of an increase but its something.

[mP3+Z]

Didn't see the problem. bg3 is capped at 12 as well and I get it at very begining in the last act, pretty similiar like this game (12 at 5th region)

[BigFatJuicyMonkeys]

I'm at almost 220 hours and am halfway through the last region. Hit lv. 12 a few dozen hours ago.

The experience grind has changed A LOT since the game came out, it's probably twice as fast to level up now, the easiest way to do it now is to keep spending nights while two of your mercenaries go train on the training dummy, of course you need food. but it's the easiest and quickest way if you're really struggling.

Where is the new landmass starting from on the map?

we hit level 11 with most of our companions (including animals) and we only missing the king creeper and a crime path quest in our co-op. We did several fights in between though for resources and materials as also Inn missions.
The Training Dummy (2 people can train at the same time), the boost from the flag carrier as also food that boostes XP gain helped.

No sign of the DLC yet even though it is the 14th.

Check the storepage, it's 1 hour off right now.

[n3mes1s]

Yup thats why im taking vacations of this game. I dont care about a thousand DLCs if the base game is still the exact same and we have the same idiotic limitations and lack of end game content than always. Not to mention the improvements on the game engine that are vastly necessary but the devs seem to be ignoring (like they did on northgard). Im sorry but im done with this game, i have way better ones to be playing right now and i dont have hopes seeing the direction the devs are taking.

[Dogtown1]

again
not asking the devs to crank out more abilities after 12

just let players enjoy playing past 12, seems simple enough
continue to play and gain xp to get stat points

why not?

Get training dummy early. Use XP buff from banner on rests where you can. Don't have a massive group with too many work ponies.
