Ralgur Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 An account being played by multiple people to get it to 50 fast is no accomplishment. Hopefully those people will leave the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishe Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Powerlevelers happen in EVERY mmo, they rush to top level to "beat the game" brag about it on forums time or two for geek cred and move on to next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blindstrike Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 To me a game is to enjoy my self . I like to level but this game is so brilliant i think i would spoil my personal fun if i would focus only on leveling This is no generic story,no filler glued to each other like most MMO's Now i finaly enjoy more than just a lvl rush I hope those 50's are happy. Its must been many hours ,pro job Hope there is endgame enough but if there is not you got your self to blame ,best start rolling alts Again we all play games in our own way ,none is better or worse Freedom as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebenharvest Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Oh trust me brah we had some cool elitest testers. A lot of which didn't even buy the game XD Edited December 18, 2011 by lebenharvest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreavus Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Testers sleeping? Bioware not paying attention? Who tested this game? The game has been out live for like 4 days and we have lvl 50s running around??? Seriously did Bioware not realise how stupidly quick ppl could lvl? The game isnt even officaly released yet and we have ppl at capped level.. this doesnt bore well for long term. Notice how you didn't say anything about you being level 50 yet. Turns around waiting for you to prove that it's stupid fast to level by you getting to 50 in four days, then you realize you're not a power leveler.

Akella Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 If someone wants to skip content and go without sleep to be 50 first, so be it. Why make things more difficult for everyone else who does go through the content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtus-Celeritas Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah PvP/a full group gets space barring and rushing content, yields you amazing levels. Why would us testers care though? Our obligation is over unless BioWare contacts again for future participation, we're nothing special.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediArchives Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 You can't blame the testers. Dozens and dozens of problems were addressed and brought up, literally everything you can possibly think about...it's up to Bioware to change these problems. (Many things seemed to be ignored by Bioware...we rarely had any responses/comments from the Devs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulsenz Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Who gives a flying f***? Being a level 50 already just means you're advertising that you're a basement dwelling virgin. Just laugh at them and remember that you have a life outside of SWTOR, they do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RylanStorm Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I do feel that this game won't be one for the hardcore elite. Bioware does RPGs. Storytelling is their thing and now they've created a place to do that with friends. They're never going to shy away from what they do best. A lot of people are skipping the story because they want to level. A lot do it because they don't like the story. When these people get to level 50 I think they're going to be surprised. If you think about it the whole legacy system is about making you play other stories and I don't think the endgame will be Biowares focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From next week I should have less free time and still the same need to "rush" content (hint: none). I don't consider the game finished when my first characyer hits 50 neither.

andysdead Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 it takes like 6 - 8 hours to get to 11. but honestly, who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krummwalker Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yes its totally Biowares fault that some people don't care for content and like to rush through the game up to cap. They should in fact have a GM for each person in game, making sure they don't level too fast... Honestly, what do you care if others are 50 already? Are they affecting your gameplay? Tbh, i see no advantage to being 50 so early, but hey, thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashaan Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Aion had max level characters in about 5-6 days or so, and that was a extremely grindy MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first to 50 are people who had /played at 3-4 days meaning they never slept or had 1-2 hours of sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexplosive Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 speed leveling in this game means you literally skipped 75% of the game to be the first to do the last 25% that nobody really cares about. Elitist raiders will be the first ones to quite this game. It's really not a raiding game. Actually my husband (Tajei) has been 50 for almost 24 hours now. He did not power/speed level. He raised a vanguard to 35 four times in beta. He did skip dialogue to level 35, but then he has played every single quest, and every single cutscene since then. Aside from heroics he has done all quests on all planets. He has been unable to do flashpoints or PVP or heroics due to not having others his level (He is our server's first fifty and has been well ahead of most people the entire time.) He estimates he spent more time 40-50 than he spent 1-40. Leveling is WAY too fast. His crafting professions are all 300+ he has all his riding skills, 4 or 5 speeders and plenty of cash currently. He is not being an elitist raider, he simply loves the game and rolled through it engrossed in his story. In fact he raged for hours at the end of the trooper story. Mind you, he slept between 6 and 7 hours each night, took breaks to eat, run to the store, and help me out around the house for small things. He and I and our 4 friends all playing together are dismayed at how fast the leveling is and constantly reported it in beta. We and many others begged and begged Bioware to change the stance from instant gratification to long lived storyline. Unfortunately world of warcraft has been a huge detriment to story based MMORPGs now. Most MMOs are built on the level really fast and play end game basis... not the savor and enjoy the storyline basis... Its very very sad. Sincerely, Seela from The Ebon Hawk server.

AuraManaokei Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I will agree a bit. It seems that if you are solo the leveling is pretty nice paced in the early levels. I'm in the twenties after two days and I am fine with that. I do come from Ragnarok Online though, so I'm used to the early levels being pretty fine, then hell later on. I do feel like at this pace I'll hit 50 by the end of my winter break. That's a bit of a concern to me, not going to lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenPredator Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It will be funny if they make it harder on people just starting while the people who got to level 50 blazed through it like hot butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously 50 was hit by power gamers who had no intention of watching every cutscene and wanted to hit the cap relatively fast. Game developers can only do so much to slow down power gamers, but people will always hit level caps within a few days in MMO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igax Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 lvl 50 in 4 days so.... uhmm they probably put in about 75ish hours of game play. Some people share accounts so as to have a guild fully lvled up and doing content in as minimum of time as possible, so characters on fulltime grinding away.
