Rewards for xp after level 70...suggestions...

rhadamathys

A few musings...as it stands the lack of power points is not alt friendly....my main has 80 points after months of play (soooo disappointed that I don't have more)...my alts have 73ish...at the current rate, they'll never get good... A few suggestions...

1) make it a choose your own reward...you have the option of a power point or option of refinement... Every single time!

2) offer an extremely rare feat point...allow us to take more feats over time...

3) offer other things besides refinement, like lockbox keys, or legendary keys that open any chest in game...


Option 1 would be very alt friendly:)

To go with yours.. other potential awards could be (super rare) stat points, legndary mounts (potential unique to this), the different campaign currency, and other good random stuff. Your keys idea is also good.

I do like 1 & 2. I agree that power points drop far too infrequently given how long it takes to fill the XP bar.

Generally, until I get all my main skills to 4 points I run with and extra 70%+ XP gain. After that I swap out for Dragon Hoards etc.

I wouldnt mind any of those options to be honest. The points really dont drop very often as stated but I also hate the refinement rewards. They are usually mid tier stuff that isnt very valuable (or at least that is what I have noticed).

The refinement stuff should be updated to something better than what it gives. And the pitiful rank 7 enchants arent all that worth it either. I got I think like 2 enchantments in one and that was it. Was a major let down considering I can get them for bars regularly. Over the course of a month (playing as casual as I am) I earn way more bars to buy enchants than I get xp rewards. I might pop once or twice a month (three if I am really lucky) while all I have to do is log in to collect my bars from a lockbox every day. Not exactly worth it to me. Personally I would love it if they came up with a bound to character refinement stone that had a timer on it (so you couldnt save it for double weekends) which would give like 50k or something. That would make the ding worth while to me even if I dont get a power point.

And if they are going to continue with the enchantments then make them worth while. Level 9's would be great. Not to OP but still worth something, even more so considering how few enchants you actually get out of that ding.

I love the key idea. That would be so beneficial towards players who are super low on AD and cant afford to change over to Zen. I know that many members of my guild (who are all my friends) are unable to afford even a months worth of VIP which makes it difficult to deal with lockboxes and upgrading our guild stronghold. I got lucky and popped a few axebeaks to give to guild members and sold an armored one on the market (which will keep me in VIP for some time now. But I know that as the one who has the most AD (which isnt a lot compared to you guys/girls) it is tough helping out all the time. This would help break some of that stress. I cant afford to be buying mounts constantly or gear to level toons or even the books for boons that are a pain to find. Call it a 1 in 6 ratio if you want. Every 6 dings beyond 70 you earn a key. At least that way there is a better thing to work for in grinding beyond 70.

As good as it may be, it would never happen. First reason, is that people will try to level up more to get more power points, therefore will buy things (such as upgrading Azures, XP Boosters etc) to level up. Therefore they make money, and they love making money. And second, the game is based around RNG/luck, and they won't just stop doing that.

Maybe there is a way to pay for XP gain....wait, yes, there is. I feel your pain, if I had known how hard the over points were going to be after the level cap changed, I would have spent more time leveling up the alts to have the extra points. Getting the xp booster and wearing the azures is about the best thing to do. I keep the azures on until I get all 8-9 over points.

I think the funniest reward for leveling up is the 5 little XP books...5K each, I just ran 1.7 million XP to level up and got 25K back as a reward??? Very odd to me, I give those to the alts.

Last time I rolled over I received one flawless sapphire... One Flawless Sapphire.

I knew my ideas were dumb

dangitrex

I agree and support better level over rewards and potential to full paragon and fees would be awesome you could in mod five why they removed it I don't know my tr has 5 extra paragon points

For those that haven't heard yet, they are introducing a way to earn power points via the Sharandar campaign. Take a quest, grind out some campaign currency and get your point. The quest is repeatable and I believe you should be able to earn about 1 per week.

It'll still be a little while before that update arrives, possibly with the next mod?

Takes 10 of each area currency, so it should be possible to get 2 a week if you make the effort. And yes, it drops with Alliances.

Or why not ever 3-5 overflow levels you get a guaranteed power point. At least that way you know when you are going to get a power point. I overflowed 7 times before I got a power point, 3 of those levels only getting 5-6 rank 5's.....yea rank 5's, what a reward for grinding out 1,6 million exp.

armadeonx

tbh any character that I play every day overflows about once per week so with the usual rng I earn a point about once per month. Adding the new sharandar way of earning them, any character should have all usable skills at 4 points within 8 weeks. That's just with running those new ones casually.

Of course it depends on the class you play. Some need to swap skills regularly & some stick to what's slotted.

Every 10 levels up after 70 they should give you a Paragon Point... up to 5. So for 50 levels after 70 it would mean a whole lot more.

It's here! For a little Zen...you can complete Sharandar and Dread...It would be nice to have Tyranny and IWD too. I just realized you were talking about the power points, that will be later, yes...

As a rule of thumb, the reward for leveling up another level should never EVER be bonus XP. Never. That is such a slap in the face. I've only received bonus XP once or twice all time but yeah, bonus XP shouldn't even be on the drop table.

asjohnson

I like the bonus XP, its a jump start to the next level up.

Also, I have gotten really lucky with my XP rewwards, and I get A LOT of XP Rewards since my guild has like a 26% XP bonus I think. So I can level up all 8 of my toons just from invocation in no time at all lol

ltsmithneko

Personally never really had an issue with power points, nearing 100 now, but to point out what has been stated @firepats12#3687 stated it's RNG... As for the options, number one, there would be no point of a choice everyone would pick power point, another reason, it's a lot easier to level up now, you don't even need Azures slotted to level up overflow in a day. Option two would just be farmed very easly, and quite overpowered to those that achieve them. Three is fine, can't really see a issue with that one. By the way isn't there something about earning power points n' Sharandar on PC?

So, whats the purpose in acquiring 1.8 million exp to level up when all you get back as an reward is more exp? And we are talking about a ridiculous amount of exp.
You are basically only gaining exp to gain even more exp, or in other words: You are leveling up to level up, just because.
Seems pretty pointless.

armadeonx

Ah it is what it is, I'm just glad they've done SOMETHING about it by introducing the 'earned' point via Sharandar.

@sundance777 - thanks, lol

busterhighman69

This game is bs I've leveled up at least 20 times, only 1 power point... other times 10 tomes like why do I need those?? Smh... some people have told me they have gotten 5+ in a row

sundance777

On one of my toons I get a power point almost every time, like 4 out of 5 and on two other toons I have bad rolls. The sharandar task will be my friend! In fact I am saving the currency for it already, sorry guild coffer...I will make it up to you in other ways.
