Yes you do need to get to 100. Most of power that does 100’s of millions of damage comes from PARAGON which comes from LEVELING.
A few extra paragon wont make or break things. Tbh, the HP scaling is a bigger issue in that regard.
But I think it could be positive to move some of the paragon points up earlier.
Like instead of getting 40 paragon points from lvl 90 to 100, make it 20, and add those other 20 paragon points to lvl 60-70. To frontload the build a bit more. Something other A-RPGs have done too.

It wasn’t my intention to attack anyone. I do feel a bit frustrated though since I feel the game I bought and been enjoying is being taken away from me. That’s not fair at all.
Anyway, for the people that these changes are targeted to I hope you all enjoy the game since you clearly are the target audience. I am clearly hella salty for all the reasons I’ve already explained but it is what it is at this point.

I don’t need it to take 3 months to level 1 character to 100.
My response was to a guy that clearly rushes, uses every exploit he can find, spams things like a specific dungeon or event to level as fast as possible and then complains that leveling is too fast.
Instead of doing that, they chose to make the whole lvling experience a joke. Clearly, the backlash is magnitudes smaller. It’s a lose-lose situation for players like us anyway.

Or they could actually not limit power leveling and allow players to get boosted faster by other players and you solve this problem.
You wanna level slow don’t get boosted.
You wanna level fast, get a friend to boost you.
So simple.

100% faster would be better.
Now, now, we don’t need the game to turn into D3. I think 40 hours to max for solo players is a good balance of getting a leveling experience that doesn’t feel like a drag.
The grindy content should be endgame activities like gear upgrades, loot hunt, challenges and achievements. That’s where the main fun should be, not leveling to “have fun”. Dragging it out is hurting the game immensely and players have already fled in masses.

Are you insane? Do you know how godamn long it takes to get to even level 70, and 70-100?
I love arpgs. I like trying new builds. I cant spend 80 hours on one character just to get to the last boss. I want to try other classes.
40% faster is amazing for me.
Power leveling IMO is crap for any game. It destroyed d3…why have levels if the fastest way is power leveling within a few hours.
And this only benefits people who either have friends that play the game, streamers, or people that use 3rd party software like discord to find groups.
“make friends, git gud”.
k. Ill take my 40% faster at least

The thing is, getting to 100 is fairly irrelevant. Look at Diablo 2 and level 99. No one really needed to get to 99 to have a great time in the game. The end game meta loop gradually started as early as the 20s, as you could even farm sojs and tal amulets then. By the time you’re in the mid '80s, you are farming anything in the game that can drop. Getting to 99 was simply a novelty. As it should be here.
100 shouldn’t matter. It only matters because the game itself is bad and there’s nothing interesting to find. There’s no end-game meta loop. If there was, then level 100 would just be a novelty.
Making it easier to get to level 100 is a band-aid that does nothing. These guys really need to get some talent on their team that knows how ARPG loot hunters work. I even submitted an application for a job opening there. But I already know they won’t even respond.

Just never leave WT1 and it’ll take a hundred billion years to level.
I for one welcome faster leveling. It’s a seasonal game, not a leveling simulator.

Doesn’t sound like enough. Take it from a level 51…
I hope it doesn’t turn into d3

D3 was fun as hell after ROS. The anti D3 crowd needs to go play it in 2023.

What bothers me most is not the xp but the renown. We should receive it as we complete the campaign. The beginning of the game will be easy and tedious with potions, skills, status points.

How is this a big concern? You get boosted by being awarded for finishing the game and having done Renown before. New players will still be gimped, its only the experienced players which find the early content trivial anyway, so there is no harm in getting a little boost.
It has only gotten worse over time.
The paragon cap in current season is nice. The concept behind the Altar was good (alternate progression system in endgame, D4 should have stuff like that).
But the core game is still trash.

They prioritized fun over chores, I get it’s not for everyone but it’s good for recreational players with other time constraints.

D3 max was a lot lower lvl. Some of us dont play D4 8+ hrs a day and maybe some of us would like to have multiple 100s in a season so this helps a lot
