I'm currently leveling a new sci toon from scratch, and finding that becuase the feature epiodes are now incuded in the missions and now been given out 1 level at a time. That I'm now Captain 5 and still in the Romulan block with missions still to be done in the roms block.
I think more tweeking is needed to make better use of the available missions whilst leveling to VA level, otherwise I'll hit VA in the Cardi block sec :rolleyes:
I definitely would like to see them continue Grouping the storylines, however giving some freedom of choice as to what/where/who i fight will definitely help REPLAY VALUE.
Overall its a good idea , just needs a ton of polish and the storyline rewritten to match the Timeline originally portrayed from the "Featured Episodes"
Some of the "Later" missions have events//test out of order with the earlier ones.
Loot Tables and XP are the 2 easiest things to fix however...
the XP is boosted on tribble for leveling purposes. i highly doubt feds at least will be leveling that fast. leveling is also faster when you add in the DOFF systems XP.
Cryptic I hope you see this post, it's most frustrating to be captain 6 and flying between Cardi blocks for patol missions and then back to Psi Velorium block for romulan episode missions.
Will someone from cryptic please acknowledge these issues need attention. A grind is a grind, but between two sectors at each of the ends of the galaxy map :mad:
I wouldn't be to hopeful of getting a response in this thread. The devs are pretty busy with just getting a new build out each week. They have said that they read all the feedback, and the current locked leveling path/mission progression is something that they have already commented on previously (saying that it probably needs to be changed). Plus there have been numerous threads about this, the vast majority being complaints.
But as for leveling on Tribble right now, just stick with the storyline missions. They give the most XP. I have reach VA, and haven't even done the Romulan featured episodes yet. If you can get into a Mirror universe event, that is a quick way to level as well. I would just ignore the patrol missions as they do not give much XP.
And keep in mind that the leveling has been turn up on Tribble so that people can level up faster. It won't be this fast on Holodeck when this goes live.

If I just stuck with doing story missions only I would never level a toon, lol

Getting MKIV and MK5 gear as a Captain is not ok.
