We should be able to continue earning experience at the level cap. Each time the XP bar gets filled, we should get a chest/bag with some end-game stuff in it. For example, it could drop gypsum orbs, or umbral shards. Could drop crafting materials. Etc.
This gives us an incentive to do activities that would grant XP to a non-max-level player even at level 60. For example, I have a ton of side quests on my map I ignore because I find no value in completing them due to no longer earning XP. If I could earn XP towards a loot bag by going around finishing all those lower-level quests, I would love that. This also provides another source of gypsum/umbral shards to players at endgame just by playing the game in general, which feels rewarding. Players like to fill up progress bars and get rewarded!
+1, general XP aptitude would be an nice addition.
At first I wanted to clear the map from all quests. Kept me busy for a while and engaged in lore. After some time I realized that I’m just not gaining anything from there. This has kept me away from finishing quest lines and learning about lore just because quest rewards are not worth the time and xp is wasted. At level 60 once you realize that questing has no meaning the game turns into grind mmo.
Now with Brimstone sands coming up and new quests… I doubt that I will even take up those quests just because I feel like I’m wasting XP. This will make me most likely miss out on Brimstone lore on the large part.
I would love to see the quests in Brimstone sands reward XP that leads to endgame drops. As you said, it would give me way more incentive to do all the side quests and such.
@Luxendra@Maselbart@Aenwyn Can we make sure the devs see this idea? This is a relatively small feature that would have a huge impact on making activities (even side quests) feel more rewarding at max level!
Agreed. Even though I completed all the side quests because im ADHD about the yellow quest markers lol, I would still love to see this with the quests coming.
Bumping this, especially with the revamped starting experience. I’d love to have an incentive to go back and play through all the new starter quests and still get something for my time at level 60!
