Nerfed powerleveling :)

"You can no longer gain experience while in the grace period (the period of invulnerability after arriving to a new area)"

Guess that puts an end to being level 1 and standing in an arena with no damage while someone PL'ed you to level 90 in two hours.

Never should have been a thing.

GOOD

[ImOnYourSide]

Yup, pretty stupid. Most companies allow it to eliminate the boring process of having to relevel characters.

[neocronslave]

jup...very important fix indeed....not...

Meanwhile half time time portaling to a friend still locks the game up and makes you have to alt-f4 and reload back in.

i liked getting monolith runs from my husband. the immunity buff made it so that i could follow him safely. this was just a horrible "update" and deserves more outrage honestly.

edit: especially for someone like me who cant really make up my mind on what i want to play lol. so i lvl a new toon.

Play the damn game the way its meant to be played instead of cheesing it.

I dont think it was something that needed a fix right away while there are so many bugs in the game that should have been a priority.... I never did understand the concept of wanting to fix powerleveling.... if someone enjoys being power leveled by someone why mess with it... what harm is it causing? especially since initially this was a solo play game... then they added multiplayer....

Just interesting on why this was a concern over some of the major bugs

Play the game you want to play it... and stop worrying about how others play it maybe?

lol thats the problem with people they want others to suffer there wants....especially when something like this has no direct effect on them it makes it even more funny that you care so much about how others play

Right no pvp and the campaign/leveling process is super boring after you've done it many times. Most games allow you to just stand on the level and get experience but nope not this one. Strike up a big W for Diablo 4, hard to believe they do anything better but this ya they do.

If I could run my own coop game without being online I would happily do it. My time is more valuable than that. Another nail in the coffin of forced online coop. If they would at least let you change your class specialty this wouldn't be as big of a deal.

Everyone here realizes you can skip the campaign still, right?

You level super fast in soulfire Bastion and you can get to running echoes in no time at all.

I got to 45+ in a couple hours without even trying. What's the point of not playing the game to 90+ and then just copying a build off a guide? lol

Boring and time consuming, most ARPG's allow you to do this but not this one.

People want to just stand there and reap the rewards while other people do the work, imagine having these people as a work colleague.

[Calamity Heart]

Fair and understandable change.

Probably because it was easy to do. The change sounds like a pretty simple while loop to me. A couple really simple lines of code to just slap in, test out and push, not a hard thing to put in with the other changes they were making. That's my guess, anyway.

Because there was no risks or downsides to doing it that way before the fix, probably. No-risk, high-reward concepts are the opposite of ideal.

The way I see it is, if they really wanted to "fix" powerleveling, they would have just made it so you can't gain experience if your level is significantly below the level of the area you're in. I don't know how powerleveling works in this game, because I've never done it, but it sounds like you can still powerlevel with a friend if you're careful? All that's changed is that you can't just sit there invulnerable and milk free experience for nothing. You have to accept the high risk of instant death and a waste of time for the high reward of insane amounts of experience if you have a high level buddy who'll carry you.

Which, again, is fair and understandable.
