How's everyone enjoying it? I heard that it's roughly 30% decrease.. what ever it is, it's a lot slower now.
So what do you think? lvls ~20 Might not have noticed or cared, but 20+ seems really slow now.

I was playing Vanguard last night and yeah, maybe its a little slower but getting to lvl 7 while doing crafting & harvesting in no particular rush seems fine.
Yeah, its going to slow down but I want to play this game, not "finish" it in a couple of months.

Awesome
I also don't like games where it takes 5 months to go from level 49 to 50.
That's just an obscene timesink with no practical gameplay value to the player.

The only way to get real xp (and equipment, for that matter) is by doing quests. Last night I lost a bunch of xp dying and told my buddy that I needed to go do some quests to catch up. I'd say completing a very simple, 5 minute quest gives you xp equivalent to killing perhaps 30 mobs. So yes, xp (and equipment) for simple quests is way too high. Or xp for killing mobs is too low.
Quests make this game very soloable, at least at the lower levels.
Luckily, i don't need you to like me to enjoy video games. -nariusseldon.
In F2P I think it's more a case of the game's trying to play the player's. -laserit
havn't tried adventuring after the patch though

What Xp nerf are you talking about? There has been no adjustment to the XP since beta since they raised it after many people complained it was too slow. I am 20+ and I think its at a very good level now. We don't want another WOW paced game.
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

Too fast is no good but too slow isn't good either. You don't want to level up real fast but needing a ton of exp sucks even more.
This game is nothing like WoW, here you have a nice choice of professions. I'm sure many players will want to experience most of them and not get stuck having to spend, waste time grinding on forever on one character because it takes that long to level up. You level up then move on and do the same to another profession, race where you'll experience different towns and quests. You'll get to savor all the worlds instead of doing mindless grinding on huge levels with just one character because it takes too long to level up.
As you move along gaining exp you have alot to do so it's not like if you level up fast or at medium speed you won't have nothing to do. That's the good part about Vanguard, the choices are huge and many.
A medium pace will suffice as far as leveling and certainly having to endlessly grind is not what players look for and this is what happens when you gain exp slowly.
