Some thoughts on the new XP curves

[voodoogroves]

Ok, a few TRs under my belt now with the new curves.

Maybe it is me, but Levels 15 and 16 (where I'm banking even) seem to blitz by now. Level 17 or so was always a bit rougher, but with the sagas and the new curve, GH and Necro 4 just fly by.

Lower levels are somewhat sloggy. 4/5 are easy, but more repetition than I personally like.

I don't know if others are feeling the same (again this is a gut-feel), or if there is an opportunity to maybe jigger the curve a tad.

Oh yeah 2 things.
Munch those xp things from daily rolls at low levels ( rather spend some shards then repeat any dull Harbour heh )
1 st time ever GH/ Necro 4 was once and done and woo, Litany and Vale so soon.

My shared bank is filled with XP thingies - and yeah, now I eat them in the lower levels to cut down on repeat-requirements.

Can I ask why you are repeating quests?

I am not lvl 14 on my 5th life, and with the new XP curve I haven't had to repeat a quest, and I still have nearly two full levels banked. I am running Elite with BB, Voice and am a VIP, so I am doing every quest.

I don't see any issue with it currently.

If you were staying relatively at-level, you're saying you didn't run out of content? Never repeated?

If you do every single quest one time, at level with bravery bonus, vip, and a tome of exp you will be banking xp, and have to do quests over level eventually because there is more xp available from quests than there is required to level. I did this with my last life, and I drank no xp pots at all. I can tell you that you are probably better off repeating some than doing what I did though, because some quests are terrible as far as xp per minute

and as far as the whole going for max favor thing goes, I am unsure that it's possible to max favor without 6 starring every challenge. I am currently only missing Elite favor from the Titan (it has bugged out both times I attempted it recently, and the GM refused to do anything to help) CITW, MA LOB and the challenges and I am still just over 4800 favor. I think we still need a few more updates before we will get to the coveted 5000 favor mark

It feels like Heroic is dying, and to help facilitate that they made it easier to get to epics. As long as I can get this fighter life and my last 2 stacking sorc lives done before the heroic game completely dries up, I'm pretty happy with the xp and how quickly it can be gotten...

RE: 17, at 17 I am running Litany, Sane Asylum, the Missing Chain (can't remember what it's called), and dipping my toe in Vale... usually start thinking of whatever my next life is gonna be at 17 since I am almost positive I can get groups for whatever I am running with little to no hassle at that level
