Leveling

[newpick]

Do we have any accounts on how easy to level it is with aion. I would like the game to be slow leveling but not too chalenging. Some of the pvp korean players have already hit the beta max level in the mid 40's I know its going to be around 50 but leveling shouldnt be that easy should it?

I wouldn't expect the levelling to be easy precisely for the reason you said: there are only about 45 levels (as far as I know). City of Heroes had only 50 levels in which the levelling was a little difficult as a more casual gamer, but you'd be able to level within 3-4 hours of playing; 1 if you are continuously fighting or playing with a team of a level above you.

First post, hi all. =)

I hope the lvl'ing will be slow and very challenging. I'm in favor of needing a group at higher lvl's if you are a tank, support or utility class.

It seems natural to me if you want to promote grouping that a dependence on a class system in content, and content build to support it is needed. That means content designed around needing a tank, support and DPS.

If you make the lvl curve too fast, classes could loose their identity and the class would water down into a dps / solo class were utility classes will only be needed and supported for raids. It does not mean there can't be any content design for solo'ing or that lvl'ing can't be enjoyable. However, it should not result in watering down of a class identity.

In practice, content and lvl'ing will be more rewarding and faster if you choose to group.

If you make it tedious to lvl and if the goal is to get max lvl as fast as possible it won't be appreciated either, I think they can counter that by making enjoyable content preceding this.

I'm a heavy supporter of the EQ lvl'ing curve and design that promotes faster xp in groups, thereby giving incentive and making it a factor people take into account when choosing either. In that regard, I naturally look for similarities in Aion.

The only thing i don't want is a l2 Grindfest, I don't have the time or the will to lv up to 85.
Make a decent lv curv, and make it so you get "alot" more exp when your going to spots where you need to pt and can't solo.

So that its better to look for pt and not solo from lv to max lv.

Any1 know what max lv will be ? and assume as time goes by it will increase?

I want you guys to know the reason senior members have given up on posting in threads like these is because they're mass-produced, duplicates of nonsensical value. Hell, there's a ASK A QUESTION GET AN ANSWER Thread at the top of the page, in which you ASK THE ****ING QUESTION.

But to answer you're question, NCSoft estimated it would take around 2 months, I'm unsure if that is whether you're a casual player or a hardcore player.

@ Kaycy Hello and Welcome to Aionsource. I agree with you on the needing a group at higher levels that makes scene to me. As for making levelling slow and challenging I don't like that idear as I think it would get boring.

It might be easier to take you seriously if your avatar's smile wasn't larger than most people's faces.

is that lv 50 ? cause i can get to lv 50 in 1.5month in l2 0_o easy, and max lv isn't gonna stay 50 i am sure.
I am really gonna kill some1 if grind is gonna be even longer then l2 lolz.

And "if" that's the case i can see hardcore community with botters in every damn corner lol.
Adena farmers in every corner >< making it exactly like l2 :/

Make the grind like L2, but a good chunk less and I will be happy.
