Another restart of the servers this evening, with less than 3 mins heads up. Seems something never change.

There's probably a good reason why they don't give much notice.

some rampant duping ?

a new way to farm XP ?

a new way to reuse stones ?

some notwork attacks that went in and immediate shutdown is the only way to make sure the perpetrator has no time to alter data ?

lets the speculations begin.

Speculation, singular, it's a phenomenon, not a series of things.  You're welcome.

I got on after the reboot and played for a good houre. It was nice, but I'm having some trouble muscling through the 18-20 grind. It doesn't take long but I still find it to be the most boring part of the game. A triple-life TR takes 3.8 million XP to hit 20, who's brilliant idea was to make a full million of that be in just the last 2 levels?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Sevpay's. Remember they reset the xp curve during his first year as EP. No fucking surprise considering the asshole doesn't even play.

Its funny, they changed it a little while back(when they changed XP ransack on quests) and added bonuses... and its STILL a huge bore to get through those last couple of levels!

And apparently this is something a lot of people have complained about, hence why the spread the XP out a bit more Tongue

nolameo, you are one of the least offensive and one of the more kind posters, but you are also habitually and objectively incorrect at all times. every time you state an opinion of yours regarding this game it only acts to show how little you know about this awful game.

18-20 is probably one of the most universally enjoyed and fastest level ranges to get through. lets assume you own no monster manuals and dislike explorer zones and optionals.

15 lv 16 quests with a base elite xp of 98675 before bonuses
12 lv 17 quests with a base elite xp of 85567 before bonuses
16 lv 18 quests with a base elite xp of 84813 before bonuses
21 lv 19 quests with a base elite xp of 116563 before bonuses

385618 elite xp before bonuses

50% for bravery +192809
80% for first time elite +308494
20% for daily bonus +77063
10% persistence +38531
10% flawless +38531
25% Conquest +96329
30% traps +115595
15% ransack +57797

so after bonuses youve got 1,310,468 xp

but we arent done yet!
5% shipbuff +65523
5% voice +65523
50% Learning Tome +655234
50% xp pot +655234
5% vip maybe 65523
50% group bonus perhaps +655234

which comes to a total of 3,472,739 xp available with proper bonuses and playstyle

assuming you are a smart leveler and bank accordingly, you wont be starting this list of choices til you hit 3,089,999 xp, and will need 710,001 to cap.

If the numbers above are all accurate (pro-tip: they arent), the average xp per quest in this range is near 55000 xp, and to get the 710k you need, you would need to run about 12 quests. that is if optional xp, explorer xp and monster manual xp does not exist. those will cover another good chunk leaving you with maybe a need to run 10 quests tops to get from 18-20

vale, lod chain, (both of which you were probably going to run regardless for flagging/ forgotten realms access) and monastery/kobold. maybe an hour or two of game play.

i have explained why i believe that your opinion is shit, i hope you would explain why you believe it isnt.

some edits for error correction

Aye, usually cap in Vale or shortly after. Sane Asylum, Eyes of Stone and couple IQ, DD or Amrath if on caster and if unlucky with Sigil piece so no Litany farmage.

Maybe it's because I only started playing DDO 3-4 years ago and don't know what it was like before but I've never understood the whole "get to 18 and bank xp until you cap 20 because leveling through 19 and 20 sucks" thing.  Leveling normally through 19 and 20 without banking XP has never seemed difficult.

Any time I do a heroic TR, I use the guideline of running each heroic quest only one time as I level to minimize the boredom from repetition.  I created a list that strategically gives me the useful favor levels, mission and raid flagging, and decent xp at the same time so I don't have to go back and mindlessly farm low stuff that's even more boring when you're stupidly OP'd for it.  It may not get me from 1 to 20 in 24 hours, but it keeps me sane and I enjoy the game while TRing. 

I generally just run the quests available at or slightly below level on elite.  For example, if the quest's normal difficulty level is 17, I run it on EE when I'm level 18 or 19 for the bravery bonus.   Plenty of quests are available in the 16-19 base difficulty level range to get you to twenty without banking XP.

Level 19 usually adds nothing interesting, but restricts your grouping options.

Yeah, I usually heroic cap before finishing all of the level 16 quests.
