Is this slow leveling just me?

After I got 50 it slowed down to a crawl. It’s actually quite discouraging and a struggle to log in but I really want to get to WT4 and get to 70+.

What do you guys do to level faster? I have to be missing something as no way this is sustainable for enjoyment.

Just fyi, my build is crushing dungeons WT3. Zero deaths and clear pretty darn quickly. But exp is crawling.

I don’t see the issue here. Why is there such a rush to get into “endgame”. You are doing the same thing in WT3 as you will in WT4. You either enjoy the grind, the gameplay throughout or you don’t.

If you really just want to get to the “endgame” and want to level as fast as possible turn off cross play and hit up the PVP zones, do hell tides as they are now three levels above you, throw in some quick dungeon runs for whispers and profit off the bonus for turning in said whispers to the tree. Also, legion events give pretty good XP…

Yeah, I agree, slow across the board. Gaining levels=fun.

Yep, it’s like Diablo team, when they add something, they remove other thing, so it is still the same anyway. I bet they decrease xp gain because there’s xp buff with some season bonus.

No and all XP is getting buffed on the 8th of august with the patch

Go legions, if u get 3/3 Mastery it should fill 1/4 to 1/2 ur xp bar at that level. Stoke the campfire. Try to form parties. Another benefit of legion is it fills up grim favor fast, so that’s another burst of xp.

Same with weapon, I bet they decrease new weapon damage because they have or they will buff some classes.

Whut? I literally have no idea what you are saying.

They will not nerf without warning again they have said this many times. That big nerf needed to hapopen if you are someone that has Played POE or other arpgs you have been through nerfs like this before stop being a hyperbole troll.

For what I’ve heard in last “campfire”, the class lead designer is afraid to any buff, I think he’s afraid to any changes, probably he’s afraid by the community and some streamers that will do video about “how this build is breaking game”. That’s why you will get just 2 more fury.
There’s complains about how easy is the game by some streamers, and also how nerfed are some classes by players, not easy to satisfy everybody.
About weapon, yep, since last patch, a new level 60 weapon do less damage than a previous level 50 weapon, even with 10 levels more, that’s what I experienced.

They more than halved exp gain.
They removed +30% for +3 levels and changed it to +15% for +10 levels which in turn reduces the value of fighting higher level enemies based on kill times. Currently the best exp farm is your level / +1.

It’s more than half given you had good clear speed on +10/15 level enemies since this was boosted by 30% instead of 15%. So you iust spam +1 level over and over fast as you can. It’s quite awful and unrewarding.

Just yesterday I finished a 3/3 legion with elixir, 15/15 campfire, and group of 4 and received only 32% of an xp bar at lvl 51. I don’t think this holds true any more. I’m not even getting a quarter bar with elixir at 56 in a tier 5 NM. You definitely feel the XP reduction that went through.

It’s sooo slooow. I ran a test. I painted my room and then I started leveling… the paint got bored of watching me and left the room.
True story!

Again all getting revamped on the 8th we all have to wait till then to see, NM dungeons give a crap ton and now their adding 50% mnore monsters itll even be more.

Imagine working for the guy who works for the guy who is a legend in the game industry. Your company fires the legend, and then the guy who worked for the legend quits to go to morhaime’s new company. You’re the guy who was mostly just going to meetings and checking in code once in a while, and now you’re responsible for the class design in a steaming pile of unfinished garbage.

It’s exactly like that. Shame on this company for putting this game in the hands of people as unqualified as this team.

This is one of my gripes.

When you unlock WT3 it says you get “100% more EXP” but it doesn’t feel like it because the EXP required to level up seems to also go up 100%.

There should be a bump when you go into a higher difficulty, but not a mountain.
They definitely need to smoothen out the hump.

That’s a week from now. Why did they do it in the first place? I haven’t played in days because between the slow exp gain, polluted loot and scuffed occultist priority system. I know I’m just wasting my time.

So I literally just sit here till they fix it? Guess so.

Have u added seasonal journey xp buff? Should give something like 8% at max.

That is going to be much appreciated but it wouldn’t be the first time that the devs have gone back on what they said.
Did you notice the lead class design guy when he was saying that the current buffs were subject to change? Dude was blinking so much I started wondering if he was being held hostage lol.

They use some goofy math over there. Like potions +5% exp is actually 1.667% on WT4.
