Poll - Forum-Think: It's TOO EASY to level-up? Or is it TOO HARD??!

[Susanne]

Leveling up as a new player in AL is only easy up until you reach Glintstone and Underhul content. You need a decent gear or party to play these maps. It’s very hard to find a decent party in the higher level maps let alone the low level ones.

Plus, there is nothing to farm to improve your gear. Best you can do is jewel farm as a f2p, but you have to unlock traders permit to start selling your farmed jewels. And you unlock the permit around Day 2 (you get 10 story tokens in one of the side quest). This method is also slow and complicated for new players and most of the time don’t know about it. Most of the time they just log-in for the quests and get gold from there.

Most of the new players I see stop playing around level 60 because content gets too hard or it gets too boring because literally the only thing they do is log in for the day do the easy quests for xp and log out. Rinse and repeat til they reach max cap.

Events are also omega hard for low level players and almost is empty. Overall, trash experience for newcomers.

I've been saying this for ages now but nobody ever listens to me.
It's ok for those who start a new character from their account to say it's easy. They know the ropes, have gold to spend on the "newbie" and share stash for pets etc.
What they don't do is start a new character from scratch, with nothing and no experience of the game and no tutorial that explains anything, especially the trade permit.
The only people who have one iota of what it's like are hardcore players who don't use plat.
Those who say it's easy are not correct.

Exactly. Most of the players who says it’s easy to level up as a new player are the ones who are re-starting a new account who have prior knowledge of the game mechanics and have the resources to make it easy for them to breeze through.

New player content is too dull and difficult.
There is nothing simple to farm to improve gears. I understand that there is a fine line to draw in order for content not to be too easy, but as it stands, the content for new players is way too difficult and not enjoyable that they leave in just a few weeks or less than month.

Back then, during the old days/golden age of AL, hard-work and patience, actually got you somewhere because there are a lot of stuff to farm (eggs, gears, locked chests). Nowadays, it’s how much big is your wallet is if you want to progress.

The only farmable content that gives decent gold nowadays is: gold loot farming, jewel farming, events and merching (All these methods either require a lot of gold to start and/or to reach higher levels or max level cap[which is already difficult]).

(PS: Elite Chest farming drops is atrocious. No sane mind would sit there farming the same map over and over to just farm 1-2 elite chests every hr.)

It is very difficult for those that are lower levels and lack the gear. So, YES! I have some nice gear it takes me hours a day to level up just 60% of the level! Also, we do have lives! It is just very time consuming! There should be some better alternatives to leveling a toon. I couldn’t imagine having basic gear on the game and leveling. Please make it easier on us humble folks, yeah?

I would add more info for new players about elixirs. Or even give em daily dose of them and info to stack quests.

[Boba Fett]

very hard
indeed

[InfinityWrath]

It took me around 2 weeks to reach lvl 81 and i started the game for the first time ( dont count the time back in 2013, was like 1month gameplay)

[Not_Terrorshock]

Very hard and repetitive

I started again a few months ago, still level 61 from the last time I played the game. I found the difficulty to level up very fair through the daily quests and using xp boosters when turning in the quests. Considering that most players are in end game right now, it should be either this or even quicker.

[Sataaan]

Way to easy to lvl up that's my opinion

[Squ1dosh]

It's easy just don't make it hard though

WaY tOo EaSy, cuz new players got Speed sets powerful pets, and the gold to buy elixirs. I would give the option when creating a new character that he can chose to forfeit the chance to be on that seasonal lb for a boost in XP gain and temporary speed set until they get to 81, make it so that they can't go to event zones/ kraag krypts with those items, leveling ain't fun, only players that already have end game characters would spend plat to speed the leveling and straight up buy the lvl75 pack , so it would be more players at endgame and that would demand more items so more plat will be spent on locks maybe v:

Actually maybe add mandatory quest to lvl up in Wich quests you will introduce a mechanic of the ones that are currently being used at endgame

Hi new player here, I started playing in February, the thing i did to learn about the game was asking players in private to give me advice and watch some videos on Youtub, they told me about the "Do all the dailies" then use elixirs and pet. it's been like a month since i started and i'm level 75. I still leveling up with the normal gear from Auction house cause the sets are expensive for new players. In conclusion: Yes i think its easy to level up you just need to be persistent.

Persistence is not fun, is a miracle you got up there already try lvl up as fast you can before the eggzavier event you can make a lot of gold in that event

do often 2x Xp event

[Zeuxs]

Very hard leveling up

[Sharan AL]

It's very hard to level up especially when we have to level our 2nd character. Maybe we can have half xp bar for 2nd character only? (if that is possible)

Yup harder for new players

From lv1 up to 60 is easy. Work of 2 days. But to reach lv81 is hardcore
