Does it actually gets fun after level 50?

[TWiZTED]

I mean, lvl 33 atm and it's getting quite tedious with these stupid linear quests about picking up a flower, talk to an npc, kill tree mobs an repeat forever while skipping the stupid story. It's boring, so boring it's working as a sleep pill for now, literally. I just want to grind endlessly, craft, do dungeons, upgrade my gear, etc etc like in other ARPG'S. Does this exists after lvl50 or am I wasting my time? Thank you.

Just do the main story and skip the side quests if you dont like them.

Welcome to MMORPG's that's how they're played. Same could be said for FPS games, shoot some one, die repsawn, shoot someone, get shot, die respawn.

Name one ARPG that skips storyline and solely focuses on this , im waiting

[xPiKe]

doing the end game dungeons is pretty fun

Let me very quickly slip into my "Every other person on these forums"-Mode
"THIS ISN'T AN ARPG, IT'S AN MMORPG ONLY, IT HAS NOTHING IN COMMON WITH ARPG'S. JUST BECAUSE IT'S AN ISOMETRIC CAMERA, HEAPS OF TRASH-MOBS, WELL-DEFINED CLASSES WITH THEIR OWN ROLES AND DAMAGE-TYPES, JUST BECAUSE YOU MODIFY YOUR BUILD TO YOUR DEMANDS DOESNT MEAN THIS IS AN ARPG"

also, as far as I have heard Endgame is so heavily Timegated that there's pretty little value without paying for convenience.

Last Epoch, PoE, Diablo I, Diablo 2, and I could go on forever, even Diablo 3 has a shorter bs story before you actually start playing.

Odd posting issue....

Diablo 3 has adventure mode, no story needed.
Path of exile doesnt have a story mode, i think you just need to kill kitava to get maps, and even that i think you can skip if you want

Does grim dawn actually have a story mode?

I think you all are confusing ARPG games with a back story with a MMORPG scripted storyline. Diablo has that but again, adventure mode exists so its optional.

Backstory in an ARPG =/= scripted linear story in a mmorpg.

If you don't like this type of game. No.

Imagine defending ♥♥♥♥ game design because it's the norm XD

Popular oppinion and ♥♥♥♥ design are 2 diffrent things.

Games without a robust progression system tends to die fairly fast despite getting good praises.

I'm guessing he or she already played those and that's exactly why he Is asking.
Those games had solid and fun progression from start to end. Well, maybe except D3.

this is mmo not h&s why you people keep comparing it to diablo and poe XDDDDDD

[kingpug]

By far the worst levelling experience I've had, then again I've not played too many MMOS outside of WOW but christ almighty, you go back and forward with the same 2 NPCS then end up getting 3 quests that take about a minute to complete, I've spent more time spamming g in cut scenes than actually playing the game.

it does get a bit harder after 50, for example in the guardian raids you can't use healing potions so if you don't dodge you will die.

once you finish shushire you're given a set of 302 ilvl gear, you can hone this gear and incrementally take on harder content as your ilvl reaches certain thresholds. some content is just going to be completely inaccessible until you get your ilvl high enough to even try it.

I've played these, and things felt meaningful in those games. Yes they all have their treadmills, but they do a damned sight better job of hiding it than this game does. At least in those games you can see your exp bar go up when you kill things. And boss fights require you to think a little.

In this game the playstyle is like one of those games, with the mob density of an MMO; coupled with that, everything dies in a single button press. I'm approaching level 40 now and it still feels like I am in the tutorial missions of any other game, where nothing is a threat.

I mean I know people say 'the game starts at end game' for these types of games, but I've never met one where it seems to be quite so literal. So far it's been 38 levels of tutorial difficulty mobs. With terrible voice acting, average graphics (not even facial animations when NPCs talk to you), absolutely forgettable characters and linear maps, generic aoe abilities with bright lights (Diablo did this years ago, and better), terrible clunky keybindings and movement/auto attack mechanics (some of which you can't even change) to name but a few of the issues.

So far the experience has been tedious, and only stubbornness and the promise of things supposedly getting better at 50+ is keeping me going.
