Highest level at the moment? (and other questions)

[Andhaira]

What is the highest level you can attain at the moment in this EA version of the game?

Also, can the game be completed at this point, that is, is there an actual ending?

Finally, will the TrollSlayer update wipe out any current saves?

[Beholder]

Max lvl is 30. There's content for about ~9 lvls atm.

No, the game will be mostly sandbox during Early Access. Story mode will be added as a single large update before the game is out of EA.

Old saves will become incompatible after every major update.

[Andhaira]

Ok, thanks for the reply! I take it Trollslayer will be a major update, wiping out the old saves?

If so I'll wait until its out before buying in mid april :D

Yes, Trollslayer is a big update. Join the thumb twiddling club.

I wish they included a save at will or at least a save upon exit feature, along with the multiple save files they are already implementing.

Save on demand can and will make several gigabite sized files due to procedurally randomness of the world. And save/load process will take minutes.

Do you still want it?

So are they going to do the update today or tomorrow? or is it next month?

Or you save the game's memory state. Which will be much quicker.
You can already do this by running the game on a virtual machine.

April 13th.

So after those 3 contracts you must fulfill, the game ends?

No. There's two more steps of story, but not much happens. There's no "end", you can just keep playing, open world style.

The "two more steps" are literally talking to Verren and then talking to the Mayor in Mannheim.

That's where the story ends currently.

The mayor in Mannheim has 3 more contracts that will cycle every few days, but they aren't actually related to the story. "Gathering the Caravan" ends the moment you talk to the mayor.

I agree, though, the "fun" of the game is basically just messing around w/ the different possible builds and trying out the gear for now.

But don't you run out of content? The dev above said there is enough content for 9 levels right now. Speaking of which...do monsters respawn after some time? Say after you rest, or revist a dungeon?

In the demo they didn't

[artofwar]

Yes, dungeon locations you've cleared will refresh with new quests after several days and overworld enemies respawn over time (and on relog), as well.

So that means you can keep leveling up indefinately?
