    This is ridiculous. I've been at 40 since before Mines even came out. I can't turn in COs since it'd just be wasted EXP, I can't make any level progress even though I'm killing tons of enemies, pretty much all I can do is grind for money and loot.

    And now they're releasing ANOTHER area where I won't be able to make any real progress? Why the hell would they do that?

    What makes it even more annoying is that I'm only a few points short of being able to equip newer weapons and armor, but my Mag is maxed out too, so I have no way to gain the necessary stats to use them until Sega feels like raising the cap.

    Going by the pace of these updates, the level cap raise to 50 and addition of very hard mode will be at the start of september, but nevertheless they really need to raise the level cap at least ten levels with every field addition without making the new field have an insane level req

    Tundra should of raised it ten, Mines should of raised it ten, and Floating Islands should of raised it ten, so that we could of been sitting on a level 60 cap until Sept where it could be raised to say 80 or something.


    If theres one huge ass flaw its the low as hell cap and super high level reqs for half of the content. I understand that they're probably trying to encourage people to level all 3 classes on their character, but not everyone wants to do that and they really should just give people a higher cap. Not even sure what they feel would be the problem with just unlocking very hard mode and an additional higher difficulty now and just raising the cap 40 levels to give people something to do.

    I absolutely hate seeing EXP FULL all day. And I dont even want to PLAY as my ranger side instead of turning in client orders I did with my hunter as the ranger side, because if you aren't level 35, 4 ****ing levels shy of the max cap, you cant access half the levels in the game pretty much lol.


    They just need to balance this aspect alot more. Open up normal level versions of these areas or something. Its pretty redic that Deserts level req is 15 and then the first Tundra missions level req is 30. That's just horrible. I defend alot about this game but the idiotic level req pacing in this game is the absolute worst.

    I agree they need to raise the cap, but they came out of beta early to make people happy. The game may be free to play even when it's done, but it's a work in progress right now.. so, at least they aren't taking it offline while they figure it out.

    Yeah thats what I mean as well, why NOT have normal versions of all these stages. Just makes no sense. Give folks reason to stay interested in your game, Sega. Nobody wants to grind desert or the nab rappy mission for 15 levels. Thats just horrible.

    I love PSO but I swear if the next level cap institutes another tedious bull**** quest like "Get x90 biodata drops each from Tundra, Mines, and Floating Islands" I'm prob gonna peace the **** out until the level cap is raised way way higher many many many months from now. Theres nothing worse or more tedious in this game than grinding for 90 super random drops from every area because they waited so long to raise the cap that you're already at the cap and not even getting EXP for all those kills.

    And whats worse is that those goddamn drops were random, they didn't even drop from every enemy killed. Even though in Frankas quests, the requested drops DO drop from every enemy, and if not its like a 95% chance they do. That goddamn level cap quest **** is the worst and just needs to go.

    I'm always the first person to tell people this game is still technically a beta in development, but sheesh they could stall for time in much more productive, and much less tedious ways than what they're currently doing.

    Free game and all so its not like they owe me anything, but if they could just add normal levels to Tundra, Mines and the soon coming Floating Islands, and NOT repeat that level cap quest, they would be improving the experience a ton for people

    ^ this. even someone who only plays a couple hours a day and longer on the weekends will be able to keep up/outpace the content. when you have the free time to play 5+ hours a day, there's no way they're gonna be able to keep up just to appease them. the messed up up part is, if they raised the level cap and allowed em to keep goin, when the new content came, they'd whine about it being too easy. that being said, some things could have been done better, like adding the normal modes, but as was stated, the game was released early.

    When advance classes come out people are gonna be wishing they took the time to level their other classes instead of just complaining about content.

    I've been playing since the Closed Beta (well, only the Open Beta kept progress), so I've had plenty of time extra to get things done before the official launch. I haven't rushed anything, I've been playing at a pretty average pace.

    Can't change classes because I don't have Mags for those classes.

    I never said there was nothing to do, I said there was TOO MUCH TO DO FOR NO MAJOR PROFIT.

    You can complain about things that are free and forced upon you. You can't complain about something that's free and is providing you entertainment and you can stop using it whenever you want.

    Don't think for a second that complaining and suggestions for improvement are somehow the same thing.

    Sure I can, and I am. I don't want to stop using it, I enjoy the game, I'm just saying that the level cap is too low.

    Yo FFandMMfan!

    I'd say your best bet would be to level the other classes even if the mag doesn't match as it seems to be the only thing to do if you wanted to keep earning xp.

    That or you could just grind out raredrops and sell them to make a small fortune

    also, mag doesn't have to match if you can make use of their trigger actions or auto actions etc...

    it's all down to how you play... if you don't try the other classes, how would you know?

    stats are important, fine... but stats still aren't everything....

    Should have wiped after open beta. I didn't like the idea of letting people burn to the cap so fast with such little available for them. Glad I made a new account to play instead of using my old beta character.
