What to do at lvl 60?

I just tried a foundry mission and it was a nightmare. Everything was lvl 60 and in the end it cost me 3 gold in potions and 700 AD in injury kits. Needless to say I had a horrible time. Is this gonna be like GW2 where now that I'm at the top lvl there's no good content left?

But level 60 in NWO is equal to level 20 in D&D.
Can't wait for an expansion with Epic Feats. That will be interesting.
I agree, I got to level 60 very fast which isn't so good, however unlike many MMORPGs I did feel like my character was a major force in the realm. The NPCs treated me like I was a hero, commenting on what I've done and that was very refreshing
As for what to do at level 60? Same as with all other cryptic games. repeat boring dailies or start a new toon.
Not to mention that combat is so "meaty" (at least for the melee classes) that you feel <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> anyway
Corrected for clearness
The word you were looking for is clarity. i don't need the ill-educated to interpret what I say. It's quite clear. Other 'Theme Park' mmo's have endgame content for gear progression. Cryptic do not have a handle on that yet.
if this were pnp and straight up D&D any edition you would be right.
It's a shame, none of this feels like D&D to me. And not just because I sat around a ton of graph paper with a pencil in the 70's.
LoL. Great post!
I agree.
Rush to max level - Check!
Whine on the forum that there is nothing to do - Check!
Uninstall the game and get a girlfriend -
I used to play by mail. Imagine that? You made your turn, posted it and awaited your letter and info to update your campaign map. 1 move a week. Some things have got better
I have motorcycles thankfully. Girlfriends just seem to appear

I believe that there goes five of these Neverwinter levels on a real D&D level or something like that so level 60 in Neverwinter is like level 12 in D&D.
Some are harder than others, but i'm loving foundry at 60, xp means nothing, so besides running those which are described differently, i can focus on the good story ones. I'm not sure why you are spending AD on injury kits though, you can buy them with gold, and potions are cheap, three gold is like 60 potions!
Blame Cryptic.
Edit: I also have no idea what this 4th Edition rules entails since I played mostly during the mid 80's to the late 90's.
When most of my friends stopped playing D&D due to the 3.5th Edition rules I did too.
Play one foundry a week here, not exploit ones, and it could take that long here. Just imagine if xp here was as slow as mmo's were at first, or like pnp was, and then imagine all the foundry exploits, and how hellish it would be. There is a current trend to "game starts at cap", with raids and dungeons, and that has ruined ever going slow leveling. The only gear that "matters" is end game gear, and it's all the same. Back in pnp i remember finding things that lasted me actual years, artifacts that grew in power with me, odd random gear that was cool, etc. I really wish there was random loot here, more than just another piece of vendor trash greens.
Levels here are what DDO sort of did, it kept the levels but added the different ranks so it felt like you were making progress. there is such power difference here too where every classical level is three levels here. Harder to get used to for me, but still, just divide your level by three to get a feel what level you are.
Pehaps you should be comparing the game to others in it's genre (2010+ MMO) and not to PnP games. While the leveling here is on the fast side, most MMOs (other than Korean-style uber-grinders) have reasonably quick progession. Very few customers want to go back to the "good old days" of having to continuously grind 10+ hours in a leveling party, to gain 1 level. Also, the obnoxious "the game starts at Endgame, having to level is an inconvenience" attitude has become entrenched in the playerbase by those "l33t raider" types.
(Yeah, I know PnP is slower - heck, my AD&D2nd campaign back in highschool lasted close to 2 years. And we got to level 7. But this isn't that kind of game, and trying to do that would drive away most everyone except a few. Also, they'd need a vast amount more content.)
edit: having said that..... yeah, I've been wondering what there is (besides Foundry) to do at level 60 that isn't a queue'd party thing? I don't tend to do much of that in these games (and sitting in queues waiting for something to happen is boring), but there's usually a bunch of things to do that don't absolutely require a tank/healer/3dps group. WoW, CoH, STO.... could always find something to do. What is there to do here? (My highest character is 34 at the moment, so I'm not near cap yet
Sorry to say but this is the computer age and with it most people dont want to invest there time and money in to character that could be gone in the blink of an eye. Back when this was done on pen and paper or how ever you played, it made sense that it take that much time your character would be wait for you next time you want to play it. But with your character be on a server some where it could be gone forever ( server shut down, harddrives with character and backup dies, and so on and so on ). I played neverwinter nights on servers for years and now all my characters are gone like dust in wind.
Also in most mmo its all about the endgame not the leveling.
