Seems obvious to everyone they should have kept lunaris 68 and let the new zones go to 71-72, then adjust maps as needed.

Obvious to everyone except ggg.

Even ignoring all this endless dungeon talk, this makes the most sense.

With the current logic, act 4 being added will cause every level before merc act 4 to get lowered dramatically. They gotta let things up somewhere or another.

They just need to rebalance the entire game's levels after the addition of the new areas. For instance, Sceptre of the God is higher level on normal than twilight strand on cruel.

I agree too. Sceptre of God is too hard to be only 68. Besides that the 2% exp in every place is so low that only helps +95 lvl players. The cost of maps is still high, we need at least 71 no map area to farm. Then high maps could have a fair price.
Change it in 1.0.1 please.

this ^ all day.

Tower is shit for farming, theres no mobs, no xp, no drops, from fighting dominus so far it seems more likely than not ill either dc trying to get through the door or completely freeze mid fight and die, losing as much xp as I could hope to gain in a 10 hour grinding session of the tower. Maps are still cuntawful bullshit for sustaining them to get xp, because we are not supposed to sustain, because we are not supposed to be using them to get xp...

but the whole mechanics of the fucking game mean maps are the only place to get xp... what the fuck? seriously GGG what the fuck?

Its gone from hard to get xp in the mid 80s to impossible plus I lost a ton of xp to bugs, across 2 characters maybe Ive lost 60+ hours of play time in xp. Im a fan of the death penalty, I want it there, but right now I can only go backwards, you havent given us a way to actually gain the xp back that we are losing.

Its fucking retarded, Im so pissed off, Ive been making this post for 6 months and Im still making this fucking post, its ridiculous.

OP agreed.

Also so much for my hopes that new areas would be lvl70 at least. I fuckin' despise this whole 3min tops map stoopidity, why not xp in campaign merc areas, and I mean MERC ALL AREAS, the game now kinda commits suicide, ggg made such a nice game, then they cripple it with such a bad move.

And no sorry excuses beta it was tolerable, being beta after all n all that crap, now official release why? For the love of God, WHY?

As for all those that enjoy maps, you could still enjoy them and have the privilege of farming better drops, but why on earth do you deny the right to enjoy playing (=xp) this game for the rest of normal, casual gamers?

And spare me with wise arse bullshit I have top gear and 50ex cash, I party in high lvl maps, I refuse to approve of this ridiculous crap system on principle only...

+1

At the very least leave Lunaris the same as it was and keep SotG as 68 too, which would at the very least allow us to choose where we like to farm, and maybe break up the monotony a bit now and then.

Agree with everyone here we need a 70-71 area outside of maps. Or make higher level maps drop more often and from lower level areas. I don't want to keep going up 1-2 map levels from my existing one. To eventually not get a map drop and get screwed into having to find 67-69 maps or trading for 70+ again. Want to continually keep doing high level content. Not to back track to finding trash maps,vendoring them upwards or praying I get a lvl 69map as im doing a 68 and so forth. I actually just do poorjoy maps now at the cost of 1ex a map, I can take them np...but still how fucked is that.

I like the concept of a mapping system for endgame content. I've never been inside a 70+ map. I've never seen one. I've done a healthy pool of 69 maps. But really, I just don't have a char ready for the higher maps, since I completely retooled my highest level char at release to a completely different spec, and have to re-level gems.

The problem is two fold. Maps need to drop more frequently. I have three mapping characters, and I pool my map resources. I have <20 maps on me at any one time, and I don't even try to vendor them to upgrade them.

The other problem, is the same problem with normal loot. There needs to be a "floor" on what level of something can drop in an area. Now, People have said "think of the uniques!" Well, fine. Uniques can still drop anywhere. Done. But, putting some sort of floor on loot, including maps, coincides with the ceiling that drops / maps already have built innately into the game, and will improve the experience of playing the game.

Though, I do enjoy the idea of an "endless" blah blah blah type thing.

And I scoff at the idea of Maps being good for loot. Loot sucks. It's sucked since I started playing the first weekend of OB. Loot and "crafting" are my only problems with the game.

wtf.... .. okay, so i stopped playing after 1.0 (pissed about passive tree changes) so i didnt see any of the new places ...

WTF!!! ... i had assumed that lunaris would stay 68, and the new place go higher, into 70s...
OBVIOUS

..
aaanndd... seeing how that tower is so big looking, i was really hoping... and EXPECTING! that that tower Would Be a sort of "endless dungeon"... or .. really big dungeon..

how big is it??? .. i wouldnt know yet...

is it at least like .. 6-8 levels tall??? ..


release is a total fail... fuck this game.. lool

While I'm the OP I disagree with the game being "total fail". I absolutely love this game and I love the devs...maybe I'm just a fanboy.

I simply beg for Lunaris to be returned to it's Level 68 glory :) I love the piety fight, the layout of Lunaris...but I'm missing the tadbit of extra xp and of course I miss the excitement of Piety having a miniscule chance of dropping every Unique in the game.

For the record the best unique she ever dropped for me was the Wolf Helm...forgot the name that give +45 dex, some attack speed, and survival. BUT just knowing she has a chance to drop the best is exciting.

So PLEASE wonderful devs...one tiny change!! :)

+1 to this. Such a bad decision by GGG.

Sceptre of God should be level 70-72, and Dominus maybe even 74.

I love running maps and rarely have a problem keeping my stock up. That being said, I do think Lunaris should go back to 68 and the new stuff should be higher lvl. It's just nice to have the variety. No matter how much you like running a certain area, it gets stale after a while and options are always nice.

I also agree the mobs in Septer need some work. They're either spread to thin, so there's no real incentive to farm there, or they alpha you at the door making it tedious.
