Will hitting level 100 be easier in the expansion?

Or will it still be as hard as it is now? :X

Harder.

I'm almost positive it'll be harder. Chris has expressed a concern with how fast people are reaching 100.

But maybe they've changed direction since the closed beta days on this front and accept that some so-called no-life gamers will grind their way to 100 even though content really stops around level 85 and diminishing returns seriously kick in from there on.

I don't think we'll know a definitive answer to your question for at least a few weeks yet.

Personally I hope it is easier. Its fun to see people reach 100 in the 3 mnth league, and if the possibility of me hitting 100 in 3 mnth league is there, the game will be that much more fun for me.

I won't care about level 100 until there are level 100 zones.

I hope the soft cap goes up, but the hard cap is harder to get. I don't know what miracle will GGG do to achieve it, but that way people feel less things are being missed, :P

Should be harder.

The possibility is certainly there, whether you're committed to it is another story.

The pacing now makes it far too easy to hit 100. If they're going to continue the 3-4 month league schedule, it ought to be very grindy to get to 100 in a 3-4m SC league, and damn-near-impossible to get 100 in HC leagues.

People are literally hitting 100 two weeks or less any more, it's gross.

Just IMO, I'm a little peeved about how easy the entire end-game has gotten over the years though.

I'm fine with what ever... the numbers aren't important to me.

What I don't want to see is balancing based on some level of play that not obtainable simply by playing the game. Turn it into work... I'm gone. Turn it into "get help from others"... I'm gone.

Not only level 100 will most probably become harder to reach, but I think in general the game will become harder "again". In the most recent Community Podcast involving Chris, he clearly said that the game would need to get harder at some point since they know the last two big patches from the Forsaken Masters era and other recent updates made the game easier. I should go back to that podcast and maybe make some direct quotes but I'm pretty sure that was pretty much the idea.
