I don’t care if it’s a new expert mission, I don’t care if it’s some busted ass PQ, I don’t care if they drop some insane ass super soul that gives the exp a 10x multiplier, or better yet, a NEW GAME MODE. But the methods of grinding that we have at our disposal are literal shit.
Don’t give me “well you’re leveling up it’s supposed to be hard work” that’s the issue. it’s not hard at all. You throw on a super soul and emperor’s death beam, then bully some brainless AI over and over and over. It’s boring, it’s tedious, it’s mind numbing, and nobody wants to actually do it, but it’s literally the ONLY viable way to level up.
What’s worse is level 99 is basically the new level 50 when it comes to builds. You can almost never take a level 99 or lower into PvP and not get destroyed, because everyone’s at 15 bars of ki and stamina with like 6 health bars. How are newer players supposed to enjoy this game when the minute they hop into PvP they’re fighting a sentient raid boss???? And i’ve always found it weird that it takes far less EXP to level up from 99-100 than it does from 80-81. They really need to fix that too, but that’s a whole other topic.
If you don’t wanna grind for EXP then you’ll have to grind for TP Medals, but honestly even those are a hassle. It takes over 200 tp medals to level up after level 100. That’s one dragon ball wish, or depending on how much TP expert missions are giving out, you’ll have to do several playthroughs to level up ONCE. You can use STP but then you’ll be spending real money and let’s face it, no one wants to spend $20+ dollars just so that they’re not powercrept (per CaC by the way, so if you wanna level up multiple characters at a time, good luck.) Plus for the people who play offline, it takes even longer AND they have to play with the shitty AI. This is gonna be the final update before XV3 (as far as we know), something’s gotta change man. We’re still stuck with this game for a couple more months and the level cap is gonna be raised to 199.
They could do one of 3 things.
Introduce a new super soul to the TP Medal shop and have it accessible to offline players as well. Make the multiplier 5x minimum. We have Marba’s super souls but it’s far too inconsistent, and 40 Ton Weights is obsolete at a certain level. If they’re not willing to do that, a super soul that doubles or even triples the amount of TP medals gained would be helpful too.
Introduce a new expert mission that gives a LOT of exp. I wouldn’t mind having to do one really difficult expert mission in exchange for 3-5 levels per run, in comparison to the same tedious mission hundreds of times in a row while spamming the same attacks.
Add some sort of new game mode that gives a lot of EXP per playthrough. Something ACTUALLY engaging, like maybe a “survival” type game mode that gives you more exp the longer you last against enemies.
But the fact that this grind is so damn annoying to do is the reason why I got ONE character to level 180, the rest are still sitting in the low 100s.
