level capping on your characters

just wondering.

most of my friends have left the game already or started new characters, most of them do this at level 60+ (when in IMO you kind of outgrown the game). btw, this has nothing to do with last patch lol.

Myself, I had decided couple months back to stop my main (Granrey) at 89/90 after I chose demon or sage. Since hitting anything above 90 takes too much time and the game is not that fun for me at upper levels to make it fun to justify continuing leveling. Besides the game economy is hitting hard, today I paid 1m for a gold hp charm lol.

I might try the new classes when they become available.

Question:

Do you actually plan to hit level 100-105? or you plan to cap your toon at some level and start a new toon?

    I plan to stick with this character, unless I get completely fed up with the game, or more likely the community, and leave. Or if the new race and classes are REALLY cool, then I'll probably switch to that one. Otherwise I'll keep leveling until I hit the cap.

    Maybe, but how many have an OCD streak when it comes to games? I'm the sort who will easily log several hundred hours on a regular role playing game getting all my characters to maximum level, getting all the items in the game, trying out all the different story routes, etc.

    I think this is definately my main forever and will level him as buff as I can, but in knowing that, Im keen to try out some unique builds on other toons and other classes, prolly when leveling this one becomes too boring.

    Same here. I have made a few alts that I play when I just want to relax and swing a sword or axe, but they have never gotten past level 10 before I delete them

    @Rurik_Niall: I also feel like that. I MUST have the best weapon and max level in every game I play. (Too bad Guardian of the Realm is almost unattainable)

    I am sticking with this one but lvl up a few to Discord.I wouldn't mind seeing the cap lowered but most want it to stay high.

    And what happens to those who are almost at the current cap if you lower it?

    Example: the Level 102, 103s

    i tried all classes except bm(not going to barb is enough melee for me)
    but none really satisfied me and in my early 20s i start dieing alot then just delete those chars
    and i doubt im ever going to hit lvl 100
    its impossible to always do the right thing we all make mistakes i am not different from that
    just try to be a good person

    english isn't my native language so there might be a few spelling/grammatical errors in my posts

    i've all 6 classes past level 40, have made tons of re-rolls that i've leveled past 30, and countless more that i've leveled in the sub-30 zone (mainly experimental runs)...

    i'd say i'll probably never reach 100, but then again, i plan to stick to this character indefinitely (since i've actually invested some RL cash into it... first CS character FTW!)

    who knows, time will tell... but i do know i will reach into my 90s, i'm hellbent on testing the sage path b:dirty

    They would recieve lot of sp.It wouldn't bother me if I was 104 and came down to say 60 less work for other char I am working on.You could pvp more and TW at an earlier lvl.

    Hmmm....

    Lets say u have great squad and can do rebirth Delta 3 times a day (more than 10 hours of non stop play). Thats aprox. 2.4mil exp per run + dailies = 8mil exp a day.

    So, using previous table ull need:

    99 - 4 days
    100 - 8 days
    101 - 33 days
    102 - 66 days
    103 - 167 days
    104 - 218 days
    105 - 218 days
    Total of : 714 days ... almost 2 years of non-stop, all day play!!!


    Possible? Theoretically yes, practically HELL NO!

    The question was whether hitting the cap was possible. Which you just proved is possible. You never mentioned time as a factor. And it shouldn't be, as long as it doesn't exceed that player's lifespan.

    So what, maybe 5 years from now for a high level to hit the cap? I know people who have played a single MMO longer than that.

    I probably will stick with my main.
    I have tried to lvl alts, but I usually stop at lvl30 as max. I simply start to miss my main's "power". I don't really stream to lvl up my main and often I have enough to do with it - fbs, bhs, rbs... Alts get me more bored than my main ^^

    Alts:
    Veno - lvl29 and lvl35(DW)
    BM - 2x lvl13
    Barb - lvl29
    Archer/Wizard - lvl9 (getting deleted)
    Cleric - lvl19

    I'd like to get to cap, but seeing as someone posted it could take years. I might aim for 102, higher if I'm still playing this game.

    well thats basically the intention of the my tread. I like to feel that I;m acomplishing something as I play (leveling) and grinding on same mobs and same instances for months is not too atractive for me lol.*

    Since hitting such high level as 100-105 is tough based on above (at least for me lol), I was curious if some people actually cap their toons to certain level and re-roll to new toons.

    New toons could be a good way to do it again as you have a different way of playing.

    *at lower level you level quick and you change from different type of mobs very quick too. So, the experience is variable as you go.

    I know what you mean. I'm already wanting more. No offense to pw, but the map is pretty small. I hope they expand the map and add more instances. Otherwise when I'm 10x I'm just gonna get sick of it really quick.

    They don't want you to hit the cap, because you might quit the game entirely and not spend $$ in the CS :P

    I've got my main lvl 77
    a barb lvl 44
    archer 56
    cleric 26
    wizard 21

    and doubt i'll get to 100+ with any of them, i'm getting bored at lvl 77 now. i'm starting to find myself doing what a lot of people i know do, log in to do dailies then log off maybe do a TT if my faction is doing one.
    it's just not rewarding to grind. the double xp weekend was nice but it just isnt really worth it to me to grind for 4hrs i can play only to get like 10% of my level, can't even imagine how bad that is at even higher levels.
