Following main storyline / quests = lvl 20 doing lvl 1 quests / mobs ?

Haradeas

Gonna return afther 2 years ( just tryed other mmorpgs ) and was wondering somthing. I wanna buy the addons ( only have first part prophecies ) but want to follow the main storyline (love PvE) so first prophecies, then factions then Nightfall.



Thing is, my char will be 20 in prophecies so when I continue the storyline in the other addons, I will miss / be bored a big part of the content of these addons. (assuming that players can also start lvl 1 in these addons). So when I arrive in these area's I will have the fun of killing lvl 5 mobs with my lvl 20 char and doing low lvl quests :S



Hope I am wrong about this, because I want to buy the addons today depending on the answer.



Cheers

No you don't. When you take your char from Prophecies to the next campaign, you will land in the level 20 area. Mobs are level 17 and up. You CAN travel back to earlier parts of the game however, if you choose to. Btw, the biggest chunk of content in Prophecies is for when you're level 20. The game isn't about levels at all.

As for missing out: the newbie area is nothing more than a huge tutorial to get you to level 20. The biggest chunk of content of of any expansion is for level 20 chars. Prophecies takes the most time to get to 20. Learning curve is very slow there.

Also, you can always make a new char in every new campaign to see the newbie area. Or you can, since you have finished Prophecies, go to the newbie area of the next campaign with your level 20 char and enter so called 'Hard Mode'. It turns all the level 2, 3 etc mobs into level 20+. To enter Hard Mode you need to have finsihed at least one of the campaigns with that particular char.

 The game has changed a lot in 2 years, btw.

Thx m8, was just wondering thats all

I know its not about lvl at all, btw in prophecies you have done a big part before you hit lvl 20 imo. ( got 3x lvl 20 myself) so was affraid it was the same in the addons.

 

Thx again for the info , addons here I come

 

Btw, is there somewhere a page where the most important changes are mentioned ? Reading the change log of 2 years is huge on the GW site :P

True, in Prophecies it took around 1/3rd to half of the total content. In Factions: about 1/8. Nightfall about 1/6th. Just estimates, no 'proof' to back this up. But...You can all do it in Hard Mode as well.

I don't know a page where all the major changes have been summed up. But there's a lot indeed. Just log in and have a go at it. You'll find the changes soon enough
