I don't understand...

... or maybe I do. Due to impatience, I have been tempted to ask a high level friend to take me along for some powerlevelling. Is that what you mean? I havn't yet, because I just feel like not doing it. Maybe someday.

This is about what is fun for you or what is fun for me, and I just have fun doing things this way. Other people have fun by powerlevelling. That's cool, too. No judgements here. Just "style of play".

[cry]

If your wondering. Barbs incoherent post just ment; It is hard to level 3 charactors to level 45 without leeching, FFS = here I will give you the first and last word and three of the letters in the middle word and you will get the acronym; For F__KS Sake. Got it?

[Snakespeare]

Ah, to each his own. No judgements, I swear.


.... and .... maybe I don't want all my character to look Egyptian. I love the whole skull on a stick and throwing nightmares and drain life!!! How cool is that?

[cry]

Hard-Work =/= Leeching
Leeching I CHOOSE YOU.

[Snakespeare]

OK... I'll bite...

PL = play
Work = what I am supposed to be doing instead of typing, right now...

It's not hard I did it and had a blast, what's the point of leveling an extra character if you don't have fun doing it

[jonboy]

@cry, ah the I want it now and don't want to do anything for it.

People wont listen they will still join tomb of mynas its easiest for them to leech

[Snakespeare]

IDK, I think maybe the silent majority are playing the levels, and only a few are powerlevelling.

Remember that in my OP I said that this is a reaction to reading a review that said it was "boring" at the middle levels, and that you had to respawn too much. My thrust is simply that, yes, maybe for someone who is WOW-weary and basically jaded by all things, then maybe yes, this might be boring, but for a rank newbie, it is anything but boring. The reviewers were quick to list all the MMORPGs they had endured. Poor fellas... Their parents FORCED them to "play", which was like work for them. It just hits me right here... hahahaha

Nice thread Snake, always happy to see people encouraging others to play the game properly.

Power levelling should/will always be a viable option in MMOs, however you wouldn't catch people in other games power levelling lower characters in dungeons fit for themselves, they mentor lower players in areas fit for their lower level, if not slightly above. I love going back and helping people in dungeons; but it just seems so much more of a thankless job in PL due to the pick-up nature, not to mention the fact that a sense of well being is the only thing to gain from it with drop rates being so messy in the early campaigns, oh well!

And for those saying K/D ratio counts, sure, it counts for showing you how many kills & deaths a player has, but it's not strictly indicative of their ability, that's like saying your salary is a measure of how good your life is.

Money =/= Happiness.
Good K/D =/= Players value as a team member.

So, I am seeing that mid 20's with only 8 deaths might be possible. It has to be an alt with a lot of gifts from your main character. Because the ranged bosses will kill you unless you chug healing potions constantly. I got to level 20 with about 1000 kills and about 8 deaths, myself, with no leeching, so I take it back.

I got to 3k kills with 0 deaths. Was in menu screen after creating my own game at lvl 40ish and had someone enter the game, and pull an archer on me. It killed me as I hit my red potion. Now I still play conservative, but I'm sitting at 55ish deaths.

Saw one guy 30K kills and less than 100 deaths. That was the most impressive to me...

Thanks for letting me tag along today in AO1 Snake (and a few others)

(Wasn't sure how long it would be before i got asked to leave (lvl 13 in AO1)

[Snakespeare]

Well, I wasn't the Host, so it wasn't my call, but you did not seem to be only tagging along. You were spamming Heals and Reviving people. I'm sure as long as you do that you'll be welcome anywhere. :-)

[Kingofhurtz]

Well thought out snakespeare. I commend for trying to help

I am bumping this thread back to the first page because it has a LOT of play tips in it.
