Level up at Main Christmas Event ?

[Ginaria]

Is it still possible, that someone with level 98 gets +1 level for free at event end? Thats 99kk experience and really too much. Thats like kicking all players who got level 99 by killing millions of monsters.

[SriNitayanda]

Isn't it how you got to 99?

Yes, else I would be still level 98.
I did not know it last year.
I believe Chay remembers, that I complained about it after that happened.
For me it feels like cheating getting 99kk experience.

[Steingej Eisenserg]

yes I do recall Ginaria complaining wildly Sorry for my horrible behaviour btw. guess I was a little stressed out at that time. Since I got my 98 from this years event and therefor am after more than a year finally back to my old lvl I wont join that conversation opinion wise.
aye chay

[SriNitayanda]

I do agree it needs to be limited, i said it last year too, i just think it needs to be done before the event starts, so if you are planning a change i think its more fair to do before next years event, but after this one.
Change might be a cap, like you can't gain levels over 95, or fixed amount of exp for level groups. (90+ get 1M 70-89 get 500k exp 40-69 100k 40- 50k).

I agree with Ginaria and Nitarama. We can cap it after this year. level 90 seems high enough.

I think reaching level 99 is already ridiculously too long, since there isn't not much diversity in the possible ways to reach it...

Of course, it may be unfair for people who killed monsters to get 99 Mexp, but seriously ? You can currently do it once a year per character, and to become 99, you (obviously) have to be 98 before doing it. If you haven't prepared your "treachery", you won't become 99 so soon !
Moreover, getting the +1 level bonus isn't that "automatic" : I did it with 2 different chars this year, none of them got a single level, they rather got about 30 kexp...

To me, it is good as it is, since I don't see much possible abuse of the feature. Well, of course it could help a level 98 player, but since the bonus isn't given at each try, it stays a good "astonishment".

Edit : Virtual extension has never made something greater, it only makes it uselessly boring.

[WarriorPL]

Its good question. I have 98 lvl and 74% exp = 74kk. I play every day almost ad nauseam. A little unfair because I have to play non-stop for about 30 days and if that is true to the quest. I got it for free to win the hardest level.

[Altus Institute]

Hi,

Im totally agree with everyone, remove it....

Why not remove the warlord plate?
Yes the first player reach lv 99 with a leather shirt....remember him, how difficult was his play. He die on each monster hit but he never abondoned (rest in peace)
Why not remove the setzer?
Yes the first player reach the lv99 with a poor stick....remember how he find difficult to kill a zombie with a stick but he reach the 99 without pb....think about it.
And about Lazurite robe, bull helmet and banshee bow?
Now its just a way to fast to level up, think about this player who stay 2 years nights and days trying to reach lv91 with his poor stick.
If he had the new staff with +10mag att, sure he only spent 1 year on it....

And why not remove from all the quest the experience they give?
While some players waste their time killing monster nights and days some easy players do the quests and get some free experience point from them...doing nothing....its unfair.
You want example?
Green dark quest give 20k exp, doing nothing...and finally player dont buy the dye : its unfair.
Letter quest give 40k+50k exp, doing nothing : its unfair.
Lora Tay give 50k exp if you give her .....a bottle of water ....wtf???
make it harder..something like : she ask 5 amethyst because she spent all her life in dimond without seeing the sun, its to pay her holidays
+75 book page coz she lost her favorite newspaper
+25 wolf fur+75 squirel fur+2 fluffies fur coz she want to design a new carpet.
And im not talking about about Valia sisters quest....


You want to reach lv99 by yourself without gift?
create a new char and you can lv up it.
you can do it, lv99 it the sum of all lv until lv98. you are lucky.

you are hungry coz ppl have reach lv99 doing nothing?
read the wiki some times, and stop leveling waiting the xmas reward, you will be less hungry, but i bet you will have nothing to do if you stop to leveling your char, so...?


Atm i dont have a char lv98, but if i have it would be cool to reach lv99 with this gift.

[wilddawg]

It seems unreal that someone would want to prevent others from leveling up too quickly after they themselves had leveled up that way and had already received the reward. They feel so bad that they want to prevent others from feeling bad about leveling up too quickly. If you feel so bad about it, why not delete the character that leveled up too quickly, as a matter of protest, and start over? That will make you feel better, and then you will not need to make the game harder for the rest of us, and not punish the rest of us that way, who do not feel bad about occassional bonuses. +1 to Altus' post- seeing it all as it really is.

It has taken me over 5 years to get to level 88. Frankly I'm getting very sick of the grind of the game, my tail is sore from sitting and carpal tunnel syndrome is forming, but I am still here trying to get to level 99 later in my old age before I become too senile to find my setzer, and only because of the time I have already spent on the game, and not wanting that time already spent to be wasted. Otherwise I would have quit a year ago. There needs to be more bonuses like this. I think many eventually quit the game due to the grind of the game taking so long. I know 5 in my family have quit because of that. So make the game harder and harder? Really? Wow, what fun! Game play still continues after level 99, right?

I don't care if another person levels up faster than I do. I only care that I level up.

The issue was raised again by some players, so i bump the thread. (limiting xmas blvl to level 90)

You mad? If somebody feels bad about getting a free level, just take that level away from him.

+1

It doesn't make sense since most of the people complaining are the ones who already got lv99. Unless the plan is to take people from 99 to 98 in previous years.

Chicka,

I really laughed here

Well giving someone a level as a gift in the period of a whole year sounds okay for me.
Besides it's not like you get it by simply talking to an NPC, you have to do quite some stuff to earn it.

[SriNitayanda]

I think leveling from 98-99 (100M exp, ~1/4 of the total exp to 99), through this quest ruins the balance of the game. for that matter all levels above 95, 97-98 (~1/8 of the total exp), 96-97 (~1/10 of the total exp)...
So yeah there is no motivation to level to 99, you can just stop at 98 and wait for xmas.
I am not talking about retroactive action, i am talking about capping it to 90 from next year (we had this chat every year).

Seems to me like a double standard, that some people who got rares but don't have 99 character, want to keep rares less accessible but want to keep this unbalanced exp feature as it is...
