Having been in beta, I have played almost every class in the game to varying degrees. I was all set to play an Ironbreaker at release and did, in fact, level one to about 25 before real life issues caused me to have to leave the game for a bit.
Upon return, a week or so ago, I was all set to level my Iron Breaker up to the cap. However, I logged on to him and found myself completely and utterly lost. I had no idea what quests to do next nor what most of the abilities did. Coming back from a long absence to a character that is not at the level cap is confusing at best. So, I decided to start a new character.
Looking over the classes I decided to go with the Knight of the Blazing Sun. He was one of the few classes I didn't play during beta and he looked like an interesting choice.
I am currently level 16 on my Knight and everything is going smoothly. He seems to be almost as stout as my Ironbreaker was and twisting does not bother me in the least, though if the Twister add on did not exist I would probably find it much more tedious.
One thing that is frustrating for me, however, is the speed in which I am leveling. There are a whole lot of things to do in WAR. Public Quests, normal quests, City Dungeons, scenarios and Open RvR to name a few. I am constantly finding myself outleveling content that I have every intention and desire to do.
I grabbed a few quests the other night in the very begining of Troll Country but find myself immersed in a huge RvR battle in the zone. It was fun and I had a great time but when I finished that I found that I had already started to outlevel the quests I had just taken. If I do a couple more scenarios or even more Open RvR then I might as well move on because those quests and Public Quests in that area are useless to me.
Along the same lines, I put up an event on the calendar of my guild for Wednesday night. The first few sewer instances in Altdorf. I put up the event but by the time Wednesday I will have outleveled the early instances.
This makes me worry about Mount Gunbad, which I thouroughly enjoyed in beta. Will I be rushed through that because I like to RvR and do scenarios? If so, that is disappointing. I am one of those players that tries to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
Am I in the minority here? Do you feel WARs leveling is too fast? Too slow? Or just right?

Nice post. I agree that low level experience gain is way too fast. However, you are at the level now where you might want to get the Open RVR Influence gear for Tier 2. That will slow things up for you and you will start grumbling about how slow things are going.
ReplyDeleteAlso Tier 3 leveling slows down to the point where even if you do all the content, you are still grinding some.
Told you I would subscribe.
