Game Balance Discussion / Re: Grind, grind, grind even more! - nerf!
« on: January 24, 2011, 02:15:04 pm »
I consider myself a casual players nowadays, mostly 1-2 hours a day (more on weekends, obviously). I just started a new horse archer and it took me three evenings to get to lvl 20. My other characters range from lvl 21 to 28, not a single one is lvl 30+.
What I mean to say is that you don't need to be level 30 to enjoy the game - quite the opposite. If you don't like playing at level 20, you probably won't like it at level 30 either. At 20 you are perfectly able to go in with your team to fight the enemy and enjoy yourself. With moderate skill you can beat level 30 guys and with high skill just omgwtfpwn them.
Getting to level 20 takes at most ~11 hours. This is with x1 multiplier the whole time (not likely) and gen 1. In practice it's probably like 6-7 hours. The most frustrating time (below level 10) lasts only for a few hours, after that you can already be an asset to your team.
The point of this post is that if you know yourself to be a casual player, play accordingly. Plan your character so that it works at level 20 too, instead of going "I suck all the way to lvl 31 but damn I'm gonna be great after that".
