are the rates going to be fixed rates? dont want to start then in about 1-2 month time or something server is wiped and put up to x128 because of people moaning leveling is to hard at x16 lol ?
That is part of the reason for the weeks beta testing. I'll be giving a few people levels/rebirths so that levelling can be tested thoroughly and people can see what it is like at different levels. I know before a few people were complaining that it's harder to kill higher mons but for not much more exp, well that isnt such a problem once you are the right level for each cave and have the kit that drops in those caves it is pretty easy to kill in the respective caves. What people have to bare in mind is that once you have rebirths the exp is a lot better, so if I raised the exp too much it would make the exp rate unbalanced. Even on low rate servers as you go up the levels the hunting grounds only give what an extra 1-2k exp per mob if that each time you move hunting grounds? Well at x16 its working out an extra 16-32k+ extra per mob each time you move up a hunting area, if not more. The rates are good in my opinion, once you get to level 80 and have some decent kit most places are really easy to hunt and the exp is good. I need to have a look at the drops during beta as well, don't want the mid level kit to be too hard to get, nor the higher kits too easy.
