Thoughts on the exp system for new level cap at 250
So I've heard that the level cap is increasing to 250 as you may all know so what do you think is going to happen with the exp system?
Pre Big bang my highest character was level 74 which took forever!
Post BB/ currently my highest character is level 161 which isn't too bad compared (still took forever, date of first phatom release till now) but I've never gotten to 200.
So I know some people will be like "oh that's cute, lvl 161" but I played for this long to get to see 4th job and it was pretty cool but now that a rumoured 5th job is coming I just want to know if they'll do anything to the exp system so that "slow levelers" like me can get to have fun with the 5th job skill set and not have to grind mindlessly to get there.
Please don't complain about how "easy" the current exp system is, to people like me it's not, and I know there are others like me.
Thanks

The rankings will be a mess and the original 5 in the rankings may be replaced with botters or randoms
They already revamped the exp system in the past and it is fine as is, I don't see the need to revamp it again. What they do need to do is revamp monsters/maps and or add more theme dungeons, party play zones, and more interesting PQs like how Netts is a tower defense.
[quote=Rimkii]They should balance out other areas around the same lvl to getting roughly the same exp-slightly more or less, but it is completely RIDICULOUS for a lvl 99 monster to have 3k exp while another lvl 100 monster gives only 600-700 exp at best. I enjoy solo training and i hate LHC with a fiery passion now, but it's just not worth fighting people for popular areas and channels.
I don't care about them moving the lvl from 200-250 or whatever, but they need to make training more balanced and not easier for sure...[/quote]
It'd be nice to have a reason to train at something like himes again.

See the thing is is that the Bastards at Nexon got it to work... sad but true!
[quote=Kazzooey]I doubt they'll change it. If they do a 5th job (which is likely since we'll have over 200 SP to spare) then it will probably be around 170-180. And I know what you mean about how it isn't as easy as you think to get to 4th job. The only people who truly find it easy are the people who have to time to grind for countless hours. Luckily for people like you and me, they are making newer and better areas for exp, one of which is the Evolving World and should soon be released. Only thing I wished they'd do is balance out the maps for training in and change the exp curve for level 100+. I would really enjoy being able to grind solo in 4th job without having to rely on Aliens for good exp.[/quote]
uh.. getting TO 4th job (level 100) is a joke compared to pre-bb
there's no point before level 100 where it will take more than 30 minutes to gain a level, where before BB I remember being happy getting 35% an hour at himes at level 119

I think the exp curve should stay as it is. I don't have a level 200 but that's because I merch with all my MS time and hate LHC with a passion. If I really wanted a 200 I could do it within a few days NBD. If they redo the exp curve to make training to 250 like training to 200 now I will be very disappointed. Training is already too easy let's not make it easier.
@classof12 the 3 things you mentioned where great incentives to gain an extra 10 levels. A 10% damage increase buff, 10% crit, and +4% w.atk for an hour buff. Umm sounds like a pretty decent damage boost at level 200.

I'm going to sound stupid, but bring back 1% per hour near level 250
I don't really care for now. There is no incentive to level past 190 anyway, aside from maybe echo, Hyper Crit and the 200 Hyper skill
