xp leveling

[Mr_Fantastic]

do you guys think leveling in dead island riptide is too easy ive only done 20% of the game and im level 41 seems kinda stupid i mean in dead island 1 u could get to around level 30-40 when u finished the game at this rate ill hit the level cap pretty soon and it kinda ruins the chances for a 2nd or 3rd playthrough

whats the level cap? keep in mind you started at lvl15 if its a new game.

i imported a lvl45 and finished at about lvl65. so i'm not sure how you'll hit lvl cap starting at a much lower level

largely level is pretty meaningless. even the exp rewards scale with level

This game is much more alternate friendly than DI1, I like not having to play forever on a single character to max out the level, I'll leave that play-time to gathering legendary weapons.

[Mr_Fantastic]

well im level 41 and done about 20% of the game the point i make is leveling is piss easy should be slowed down a lot so you can enjoy multiple play throughs. with the same character

You will not hit the level cap by the end of your first run. I went from 41 to 60 in my first run of riptide (import from the frist game). I did all the side and optional quests for those 19 levels. Riptide is a shorter game than the first and doesnt have as many extra missions. So DLC or a replay will be needed to max out for most people. If you had a max level chracter from the first game or if you REALLY want to grind respawns for an unholy length of time, then dont expect to hit 70 in one play through of Riptide.

I just want Techland to tell us if we can import these maxed out Riptide chracters into Dead World (or whatever the correct title for the full sequel is).

[Mr_Fantastic]

fair enough i just thought that leveling from 15-41 and only done about 20% of the game was really really fast well ill continue to play and see what happens

[Kodai]

Well, Riptide is meant to be a higher level campaign. So it will quickly bring low level chracters up to snuff and everything will level out after that. Thats gotta be what your feeling on the fast leveling. I think the original concept was for the average player to start with an import character of about level 45. Once you reach that part, the leveling gets a bit slower and evens out for the rest of the campaign.

maybe affects use of "xp/stats booster" from preorder dlc...

the level cap is 70, even if you start with a level 50 imported character it will take a while to hit max.

Just finished it, I did just about everything there was to do in the game. Started from scratch and I was only lvl 60 so xp is fine.
