Powere leveling...

jackman11118

First off let me say i feel power leveling is ruining MxO. we saw one guy level 43, the next day he was 50.

I personally hate power levelers, our faction kicks anyone caught powerleveling, but why do people even do it?

How do you feel about powerleveling?

Well chief i havent played Mxo yet but the differnce in the lvl's your talkin about....maybe that dude just plays a hell of alot  the differnce is less then 10 lvls i coulds see your point if he was 20 then 50 the next day but it sounds like one hellacios night of play. i dont power lvl but its impossible to stop it without messing up the core mechanics of the game i dont think ive played a mmorpg that powerlvling isnt possible in. its expected that it will happen just let em i mean after all it is them doing it they are only robbing themselves of content thats why i think most ppl dont say anything, i could be wrong tho?

yeah i had been hearing about that exp nerf but surely there are ways around that ? like a higher lvl player are there healer types (like does coding heal players?) with more then one person cooperating it can go faster right? i mean thats what power lvling is ussually?

no the higher level player does everything, the lower one is there just for the exp. becuase in mxo the only thing you can do as a low player vs a high level mob is heal the guy fighting it. you cant win a single roll and if you do you do about 10 damage.

 

a level 50 mission btw, gives out way more exp than a level 10 mission would, obviously. thats how people are powerleveling. they get thier level 50 friend who probably powerleveled there to powerlevel them to higher levels.

the missions give out exp at the end as well as mob exp which would be drastically increased.

I power leveled, im 50, I don't think its good but I knew better.

See, that little mission problem was exploited by a lot of people, now if you follow MMO history if theres ever a loophole that a lot of people exploit / use, when the devs fix it they always OVERfix it. And they end up slowing the game down considerably or over-nerfing a class. I KNEW that would happen, so I hopped on the bandwagon and went along with it. Had I waited till after they fixed it to get going, I'd be XPing for the next 8+months.

Just to clarify the leveling process in general on MXO:
1-10, fast
10-20 slow
20-30 slow
30-40 fast
40-50 extremely slow

For a guy to be 50 after 43 one day is nigh impossible. It's 150 missions just from 49-50. Under normal circumstances, once you hit 40 expect to get 1 level a week, thats if you play normal hours. And 1 level every few days if you hardcore play. 30-40 is easy because a lot of your more useful skills open up as well as access to many speed boosting abilities and clothing items that make mission running easy. 10-20 is a bitch because you have like no abilities, 20-30 is just generally slow. 1-10 is fast, as is standard in MMOs.

I know MXO I was in beta for 6 months, it was slow XP then and I knew that, with all its already annoying problems if they nerfed the XP because of the 'exploit' id be leveling for a LONG time -- so damn right I powerleveled :P

Took me a whole week of grinding to reach lvl 31 o.O

I believe the game is story focused rather than a individual's power anyway. I grinded so i would Cap my lvl and could just focus on RP 24/7 with my group. but now i find i cant transfer my US char to the Euro servers. so im abit gutted. but at least ive experianced what it feels like to be high lvl in the game. PvP sucks abit because those hackers just keep leaving interlock making my martial art useless >_<

Wow, 50% say its good?

i just hit 21, and everyday i think of power leveling. then i realize that our faction kicks you out for power leveling, so im one sad panda

fevernova

there not powerlvling that guy was exploting

kalasas

that guy was glitching, expoiting, cheating- what have you.

thats the main reason they capted the player level at 50 for a while.

kalasas

I have been playing since the game came out and i have 3 level 20 characters, i hit 2- and it takes for ever to hit 30

I like sygmas comments.
I have been doing a little power-leveling (yes, I admit) mainly since I am a slow leveler. I am at 18 after 4weeks, and if I would continue with my speed it would take me roughly 1 week/level.....
I think it furthermor doesn't hurt, since one can hopefully reach some balance: a lot of Mervs have powerleveled/xploited, and so far there have been too few strong Zionists (on Proxy).

On the other hand, powerleveling is a reason why I don't bother going to a PVP server: it would be too frustrating to be ganked by a bunch of teenagers at a H/L just because they have nothing else to do being at LV50....

So MxO isn't perfect, but it still one of the better MMORPGs out there! And now is monthly pay-time, so most idiots are hopefully somewhere else...
