What do you think about it? will it be like D3 where you sit in the dungeon entrance and just afk until max cap?

I’m not certain that is how D4 works …
I hope so. It’s one of the best perks!
Doubt anyone would powerlevel someone that way, would take many hours to get done, it’s not like D3 where you go from 1>70 in 5 minutes. 
Doubtful. I think the way they have level scaling and requirements for entering higher world tiers will put a significant damper on powerleveling.
Or at least that’s what I’m hoping.

Considering the enemies are your level instead of their level, I don’t expect powerleveling to go very well. It will definitely be faster, but I doubt it will be worth doing for the powerlevelers.
Obviously not. Takes too long
There was a rumour that level scaling only goes up until level 50, so a character 100+ will probably blow up everything and could be carrying low levels.
But the low level character will still be seeing them as low level mobs, and getting xp for low level mobs. The high level will be able to kill them quickly yes, but it won’t be inflated xp per kill for the low level.

Sure, I can see it happening. Although I don’t think it’ll be anywhere near as quick as D3.
In D3, not only do you start the game at level 70 enemies (max level) but you also put it on Torment 6 (1600% exp bonus) and you are a character that kills entire rifts in under a minute.
In D4, even if we can get the boostee to World Tier 4, I think the enemies will be only level 70 (30 levels under max) and WT4 is only a 200% exp bonus and the enemies scale to the boosters level so it will be normal dungeon rate not a minute per dungeon.
So I guess we’ll see players level at a much faster rate with a boost but probably not the incredible speed we see in D3.
Not sure how I feel about powerleveling in D4. The devs are clearly trying to get us to reimagine our long-term relationship with our characters from the leveling journey we take, the skills we unlock and settle on, to the loot choices we make.
Maybe an island here, but I like the whole process, going from 1 to 100, and experiencing the skill and loot find and grind. At least that’s how I feel now. 3 years from now, when D4 is in S12, maybe not so much. We shall see.

A couple of things here. One, before you get access to World Tier 3, you must complete capstone dungeon. So, at the moment, Power leveling would be in 2 stages 1-50 and 51-100. Not quite as fast as D3 but it may get there as they raise the level and paragon cap. Two, there are already people from Open Beta who have some idea as to where you can Speed Run for quickest leveling. So, after about a month, these folks will have each zone figured out for leveling. There may even be a zone that levels quicker than the others.
The same is true for WT4 for though right? So I believe it would be 3 brackets, 1-50, 51-70, 71-100.
I’m just not sure how much repeatable content there is in the 1-50 bracket that won’t just scale down for the low level player. If a level 8 and a level 90 do a WT2 dungeon together, the mobs will all be level 8 for the level 8 player and only give level 8 xp values.
The only powerlevel aspect would be the mobs dying quickly from the high level player, but it wouldn’t be like D3 where the low level players was getting high level xp values and ripping through levels instantly.
I am not sure about either. Monster scaling has not been completely explained but the monsters cap at 50. So, best case scenario, it is level 50 monster for level 1 character. However, I would be more inclined to go with your scenario. Same with Capstone Dungeon. I am not sure if it is level, zone or story dependent. I know there is at least one that unlocks WT3.
When I was level 25 in the beta, I did a dungeon with my son who was level 8 and all the enemies were level 8 for him and level 25 for me, that’s how level scaling works.
What I’m not sure about though is content with minimum levels. I’ve heard that some zones won’t scale all the way down to level 1, so I don’t know if a level 10 will be able to go to an area with a minimum level of like lets say 40 and be able to group with a high level there and get level 40 kills for extra xp. Guess we’ll see on that.
One, thanks for that information. I will change my responses going forward. Two, Strongholds are minimum level 25(?) and do not scale below that. I tried a stronghold at level 20 and my build was… just not. So, I presume that some content is level locked as well.
It will happen in areas where mobs have an obligated minimum level.
So a level 1 or whatever level below the target in an area with level 25 or 50 mobs would likely level up fast.
Examples of these areas are already accessible in beta.
Nope , there is no power leveling in D4 , because each monsters will scale to each players unlike D3 , where u can get a higher level players open an Echoing Nightmare or a regular rifts at T6 and the monsters scale with rifts …
In D4 if u have a higher level players and a lower level players enter a dungeon , the higher level players will fight the monsters that scale to his level and the lower level players will fight monsters that scale lower to his level .
The only benefits of teaming up is both party get 10% more XP
Hopefully not. Exp gains should be like they were in D2 where you have to be in range of the mob dying. D3 plvl was / is just cheesy junk imo.
It is so fast and easy to level in D3 I can’t imagine anything more pathetic than having to have someone level you.
