I returned to the game a week ago and was shocked by the amount of experience I got on a new character, and then found out they have added the Adventure Guide, probably to get new players to stick around longer.
My question to the community is what the general opinion of it is? I don’t really mind it but I do like the grind since it feels satisfying to me, plus I get easily overwhelmed by stuff and if I was a new player I’d definitely get a headache over the basillion levels I’d be getting with all the gameplay features unlocking.
If it’s good for the health of the game then I’m all for it however.
It really affects new players like you’re saying. As a long time player with stacks of XP books, I didn’t notice it. I imagine for players who want to get to max ASAP, it’s nice. For players who like the grind and want to compete a map before moving on, it might feel a bit strange to level so fast. I think with level scaling, it probably doesn’t make too much of a negative for anyone.
