Guild Wars 2

So we all know the grueling, painstaking time it takes to start from scratch with a new character and begin the seeming “grind” to level your character up to 80 where it’s actually effective. Too many people want a instant buy level 80 card that would in return severely severe the continuity of this game. I would much prefer a bonus increase in xp gain when you have members in your party in the same place. For example you by your self leveling in Metrica Province would give you a x1 bonus to xp. However having another person would give a x2 bonus. This would then go up to x5 bonus to xp. After level 70 however this dose not take effect anymore because the px you gain is completely is large enough as is. Now I don’t know how the numbers would come out. Maybe x5 is way too much, but i would like to see a method like this. This would make people come to parties and somewhat unify some of the player base.

The game is designed and balanced in a way that, boosterless, each level should take 90 minutes in average.

90 minutes * 80 levels = 7200 minutes = 120 hours of playtime.

In essence, if you play 3 to 4 hours daily, you’d reach max level in 1 month. Which is reasonable enough.

Better idea: XP boost +100% for 5 minutes for each 2 hours offline. (24hr offline = 1hr xp boost). Which stacks duration up to 24 hours. Accountwide.
This would slightly help casuals and weekend warriors keeping up with their frequently playing friends.

Or, once your account already has an eighty, I might like a permanent XP boost of 50% (on everything, not just monsters since xp from kills is minmal). If not that, then I like the 100% ‘rested’ xp idea.

I do agree though that it feels like a terrible grind to 80, even though each level is about an hours worth of play. I guess that’s because I design my characters 80 gear to look the way I want at around level 20 but don’t bother transmoging any lower armor because it’s a waste of rare/exotic/dungeon skins.

As it is, though, it isn’t too bad. Since it released last year I’ve leveled five 80s and that was even with a several month hiatus from the game.

All they need to do is add ways to get them tombs of knowledge, or faster levelling, when someone has ran a few chars through the game they don’t want to do the same quests/hearts etc over and over its boring, why can tombs of knowledge not be bought with fractal relics/WvW badges etc etc,

Just means those who don’t want to go threw that boring routine of levelling up alt chars don’t have to, those who love to level up new toons can still do it.

I have another idea. Why not add an xp. Share like from Pokemon you can linked to and alt and and every xp your 80 gets, your alt gets a fraction of that.

I can see this happening as an Account Upgrade being buyable in the Gem Store.

Otherwise I think theres no need to do anying, because levelign alts is already easy enough …

Yiou can increase with boosters the exp-gain by 80% or so, the shop booster +50$, the laurel boster + 30% if I remember right.
Then there are guild banners that increse exp gain by another 10%
if you kill creatures, that haven’t been killed for a long time, you receive alot of bonus exp, that together with all the boost raises very quickly very high that you can get like 2000 exp per kill.

Running around in WvW doign constantly “events” or doing all kinds of events you find in PvE also gives you massive amoutns of exp quickly, especially when runnign around in max lvl maps like arah, where tons of events are currently always running due to the maps beign basically dead, unless peopel do the shrine events.

Then there are those scrolls now (and soon even more oftenly as rewards), that let your characters increase directly by +1 Level. and those that can boost a new character instantly to lvl 20.
You can get a character very quickly to lvl 80, if you just spend a few days on constnatly playing that 1 character that you want to get to lvl 80.

But suggestion threads alays make people look like, that they want to have all of theirtALts instantly at lvl 80 right after the moment of creatign them.

Forget this crap, somethign like this will never happen.
Live with the fact, that you always have to put in some effort, if you want to have a new character at max level and that this always will require of the player to spent some time with that character.

But you know what, levelign alts will become already constantly easier, so longer you play just normally with your Main Character and earn achievement points, because this way you raise also your account bound Bonus Exp %.
Most players that are around 10-15k AP right now for example have currently like another 12-15+ % an Bonus Exp on top of all exp they gain with asny characters

Making all of that even far more easier, would be too much, its already easy enough to make max lvl characters in short time.
Anyone who disagrees with that, is just a very lazy player or an extreme altoholic with way too many character slots, but these type of players created their problem for themself, because nobody is forced to have like douzens of characters to have basically of every race and class 2 characters or somethign crazy like that …

Last time I checked this thread was about leveling alts faster and not just insta buying 80. Look leveling alts can be extremely easy if you devote 90% of your actual time to level it. But I have to say MOST of the player base are casual players who don’t have the time to level them or simply hate restarting them. It’s not being lazy it’s hating going so slow through the almost mundane beginner areas, the uninteresting middle areas, and then finally the void of the higher maps with no one in sight because their all in queensdale. I love playing me Ele in wvw, but I hate knowing I’m getting xp on my already level 80 where’s as my alts don’t feet anything. That’s really what I don’t like.
