God the grind is shit. I can’t find any dungeons at 28 - I know I’m behind. And POV is slow to queue. In Starwood reach. Ugggh any pointers?
That didnt last long, did it
There is still some fun to be had, but Trion is Trion. I am at 37, they buffed quest XP way too much and now leveling new toons is harder because there are not enough players at lower levels. Dungeons are not so fun with many players that are dps heads pulling mobs ( i am tank ) and causing wipes. Its all gather packs, AE the crap out of them and repeat... AKA Snoozefest. I nearly fell asleep tanking the other night...
I think i will play to 50 and bail, I don't plan on raiding but hoped to do expert dungeons as tank.... but thus far dungeon running for random auto generated loot drops is just ultra MEH. The items are all the same with different levels and the ultimate in +gooder grinding.. Its like end game mindless grinding for +gooder crap the whole game !
This is what Trion has always done however, water shit down, make it "accessible", balance for warfronts = boring.
When prime was released it was said ( and seen ) that mobs would be harder to take down ( more hps ) and a slower leveling curve, that is all blown to hell now.
The level 40+ zones give 1-1.5 levels of exp each with the current buffed quest numbers. The exp requirements per level curve up at a huge rate in the 40s and you are right back in the same situation of needing to grind dozens of dungeons to level.There is still some fun to be had, but Trion is Trion.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Quests went gonna complete waste of time to worth doing while waiting for a dungeon queue.
Dungeons are still fastest exp

I don't think anything went wrong per se, they're just gating progression (like how WoW or FFXIV don't immediately release their raids when a new expansion drops so people don't feel as compelled to rush to level cap). Though they probably also wanted to see how a lot of the Prime stuff would play out in the real world so they could make adjustments before the raids hit.Saw my old Guild leader streaming today saying the Greenscale raid zone isnt even out yet? What went wrong that should have been opened on release?
Hopefully they can get the level 50 version of Hammerknell back in; otherwise I suspect there are going to be a lot of broken hearts when the time comes around when it's "supposed" to be released in terms of progression.
(The level 50 version was effectively deleted when it was updated to be a Nightmare Tide raid, someone on the team said they were going to try to get the level 50 version up and running again though.)
Like I said, that's kind of a different beast though because GSB at least still exists. Hammerknell is in a uniquely shitty situation where it might not become available until Nightmare Tide even though it was originally a part of Vanilla; you can read about it here.Level 50 Hammerknell? Fuck man were still hoping they get a level 50 Greenscale in. RIght now its a progression server with no progression, not even tier 2 experts are in.
