With all the messed up charts, I am starting to think reading off forums is too annoying.

The Aquaveil change took me by surprise. And the new sign-in layout is going to freak me out.

After 30 seconds you won't even care and log in. I think everyone will survive the terrible new title screen.

Accession Haste would make powerleveling easier. Which is probably why they removed it. If you spend less time leveling and get to the end game earlier and quit that's less $$$ for SE.

Since when does SE care about powerleveling? If they did, they would have added a blockaid effect to lvl sync or MMM, which are the two best ways to be pl'd anyway.

Besides, there are three other forms of AOE haste in the game that immediately come to mind including one added IN THIS UPDATE. Rdm just got shit on, stop trying to make excuses for it.

Am I the only one who's optimistic for WoE and Abyssea? Probably not worth the $10(Abyssea anyways) but whatever.

what im thinking about is:

is it even possible to get around that expansion?

just by reading the update notes, all the new areas are only accessable for a certain amount of time AND will have XP rewards

in addition, theres no new mobs added to older areas, which brings me to the question:
how will one even level?

arent greater colibris dyin out around 77ish allready?

ofc you can stick to eron ptys, astral burn or just keep hitting on those birds like a retard till youre 80, but i dont thats think thats the real solution here

so i really expect the new battlefields to yield some awesome amounts of xp, bc i cant see any other matching xp location for 76+

did you even read the update notes

[rog]

did you even read the update notes

He also completely forgot about level sync. Or maybe he didn't, and i should have read his entire post. But regardless, level sync is a perfect solution, because there are multiple ways to get faster exp than you can at 75(+).

i guess i missed the part where they adjust lvls in the coast and meadows too

nope, i mentioned f.ex. eronS bird camp
also, i, for myself, dont want to gain new lvls by syncin back to boring low lvls

I heard there's this fantastic new thing you can do to get exp, where your level is completely irrelevant and the only determination of how much exp you get is your performance, ironically which is probably going to increase with the new levels you obtain. It's called campaign or something.

You could sync to 75. Or is that too low level for you now?

But dood, if you're below 60, you get gimped exp!

SE won't listen to the complainers so there's no reason to stop making excuses, but I guess these type of advices brighten up your day.

Can Campaign get you 20-30k per hour?

[Tagus]

I suppose not... I guess it just baffles me that people are seriously going, "omg noes how will we level above 75 when there are no birds" before anyone has even entered the zones yet.
