WAR (Warhammer Online)

if theres only 40 character lvls in the game, wont some hardcore player reach 40 in like a weeks time? i mean theres some games out there that take a while to lvl but still ppl get to the cap way to fast. i hope this isnt the case with WAR. If it is its going to be quite lame since ppl with have like 20  max lvl alts within half a year :/

EDIT: another question i have unrelated is what is the day cycle in the game? real time?

If you were going by WoW's timeframe. WAR won't be so fast, but you're right, hardcore people will be much faster than others - however it should take even them at least a couple of weeks. They'll be lonely when there's not many people PvPing in Tier 4 yet, so it's to their detriment, not benefit.

These days I think players racing to max level is a given. It seems tons of players would rather be the first to this and that than to sit back and actually enjoy the game.

It's a shame but I think it is something that we will just have to live with in whatever game we will be playing.

id like it to be quite slow, since there is so much within the game that needs to be enjoyed. and if ppl can rush by it it would be a shame :(

They stated it will be much like DAOC. You can get to max level pretty fast but after that you pick more skill, abilities and bonuses afterwrds for tier 4 RvR and PVE.

Like WoW's expansion. You could lvl in a month from 60-70 easily. Yet you will spend 3-4 months trying to get through the end game content afterwards.

The way mythic has constructed and scaled leveling, it very similar from going to 1-60 in WoW. So the worries that "there are only 40 levels omg" is rather silly. Look at LOTRO, only 50 levels but that did not mean you made it much quicker than you did to 60 in WoW.

Also, there are 80 renown ranks, and renown rankings take a much longer time to get than normal XP for your rank. There will be those guys who manage to get to rank 40 a week or 2 after the early release (Honestly I am likely going to be one of them with my beta experience) but getting to lvl 80 in renown will be a long and tough road, no question about it.

If you are into WAR, and you don't want to max out RvR as well as PvE, you are looking in the wrong area.

It'll actually hurt players to level to cap quickly in WAR. Not only do they miss tons of content, they also miss tons of quests and the rewards that go with them. And not all rewards are monetary or equipment...

Rushing to cap is just a bad idea. But some people are stuck in the powergame rut, and don't know how else to enjoy playing.

... do people honestly think numbers have ANYTHING to do with time to max level?

Lineage2.  max level started at 70, first player to reach max level took months.

WoW, TBC made max level 70, casual players can hit max in under a month.

No, you are missing the point about WAR. It is not about the PVE, the quests or the rewards that go with them. Its all about the PVP, the skills that you obtain by killing ever more players, and totally crushing the other faction.

You might want to stick with WOW.

 You can't go ganking lowbies anyways so that is half or most of  the reason they rush to max level.
