When does leveling become SLOW?

Wasn't the rumour that the 10 acts would in the end replace Cruel and Merciless? As in, when they have 10 acts done, the last zone of the last act would be approx. level 66-68? That way, getting to 100 will still be as unrealistic/long-term-goal as it is now, requiring no need for post-100 content.

50-63 seems like the grind then maps are fun I guess at 80ish seems little slower and if u die after 85 kinda sucks but by then u got mad maps to just have fun grinding

At 82, a lowly level 69 map still gives 5% (a bar), which I feel is pretty good for how quickly you can do those at that level. Doesn't feel slow to me, but people's mileage may vary.

I didn't find it too bad up to around Lvl 70.

Since I'm the impatient type and often do stupid things (such as try an high lvl map with a small touchpad laptop - dumb!) I tend to die alot in 70+ maps so its become REALLY slow going since around lvl 75. I got to Lvl 81 but have now created my first new character, as the solo self-found / craft /no trading route becomes ridiculously unrewarding. I don't know why though I assume its because of the intention to add more acts, but from a commecial point of view seems weird...I'd have to buy more stash tabs if crafting was beneficial as would have to collect more gear.

It depends, you can do 78 maps for a 3-4 chaos fee now a days (standard),so provided you have enough chaos orbs you could get 90 quite fast.

i remember that with my scion i managed to do 1-49 in day 1, 49-70 in day 2, and 70-80 in day 3. Above 80s gets much slower but you can still do 1 lvl a day if you play enough

My guess is you'll go through each act only once. Meaning instead of 3 same acts in 3 different difficulties, you'll get 9 different acts. Highest level area will remain 67-68.

It's up to interpretation. I just hit 90 and I found that levels even that high up were coming fairly fast. A single play session of several maps gives around a quarter of a level, or about 4-7% per map, assuming high level maps. Sure, it's slower leveling than in the 70s, but each level also feels more significant, so psychologically it balances out. It never felt super grindy.

Not long after 90 it would start really slowing down, largely because 78 maps start getting into heavy XP penalty range.

At 90+

70-80 is extremely fast if you can map efficiently. 80-85 is still pretty doable(even with 69-71 maps) 85-89 takes a while solo... everything after that is extremely slow.
