MMO locusts. They exist in every one. Don't worry they'll have quit before you hit 50 (and good riddance, really).

ive played 20 hours and am level 24, did all the quests in the zone. Respect to those that could do it within 24 hours . Im hearing pvp is the way to spam xp though? I guess if all you care for is pvp it doesnt really matter anyway.

To be honest friend I think you should rename the title of this post if you're interested in people posting about what you'd like them to. You're likely going to receive a lot of people expecting this post to tell them how to get to level 50 in a day, and then they'll just eave out of frustration.

Done

I feel sorry for the people who feel the need to rush to level 50, there is so much to do and see.

Gotta keep in mind, the whole idea behind ESO is that its different than the other MMOs out there, not just a WoW clone with a ES motif. So if you are a fan of the Elder Scrolls games and want to tak advantage of the overall game experience (as I do), good on ya. But to be fair, everyone has their own preferences. If people want to race to lvl 50 to be able to throw their "First" tag up, that's their business.

MMO n00b here ("hello")! If ESO was a stand alone game then sure, level 50 in a day might be something to go for but being a subscription based, pay monthly kinda game, I thought taking it slow and exploring the world was the point. As in there is no end to the game?! It took me forever to finish Skyrim because I was pretty content with exploring, until I ran out of places. I expect ESO to go on for years (rather than hours) because there's that much to do, and I'm in no rush.

I like to take things really slow. I'm only level 7, still on the second of the starter islands, and in no rush.

People will always race to end game for whatever their reasons. I don't care if they do or not, they paid let them do as they wish.

What i cant stand is these people racing to end game and then immediately scrambling to forums and bashing the game for having no end game, or leveling too fast, or whatever.

Just because it can be done doesn't mean it was meant to be done, so if the end game stuff is expected in the first big patch, which could be weeks away, these people hurt themselves by rushing, and then if they go out forum bashing, hurt the game as a whole. OR Zos will once again nerf XP in dungeons and from mobs to stop it, which again hurts those who want to go that route.

If they rush just to rush and see the higher game, then no problem, let people play as they want.

Only thing im thinking

The pvp exploit or whatever you want to call it that allows a player to turn in a quest over and over to grind xp right? I'm assuming that they had lots of people with rings of Mara and worked with the various alliances to farm each other. It does affect everyone to have a bunch of ADHD 50s running around not playing the game as it was meant to be, not having the attention span to participate in the game. Other developers need to watch out for this and force them to slow down somehow.

It wasnt an exploit, that quest has been like that since the start but i am guessing they saw it was giving people too much xp to fast and have changed it now.

You just added a new term to my lexicon.

If you really want to, you can probably hit 50 in about 50 hrs. But you miss EVERYTHING. There is no reason to rush in an Elder Scrolls game. All the great quests are found exploring, not following NPCs in the main storyline. If you do rush through to 50, start a new toon and explore--really explore in detail--Tamriel. It's a gorgeous place and if you aren't stopping to smell the flowers, you'll never find out what makes it so special.

No, you really don't miss much. I played all the side quests during beta, anyway, and to be honest playing quickly doesn't mean skipping everything it just means going fast .

Some people enjoy playing a game that way. The mad rush to 50 is what they find exciting. Often those people will create another character after that and take their time with that one.

Of course there's also people who rush to 50 to get to the end-game content, which is fine if a game has existed for a while and there's actually a lot of it. If that is your reason at the moment I think you're shooting yourself in the foot there, seeing as you'll run out of things to do pretty fast, also because there's not that many players at that level yet.

It's just different preferences of how to play a game. There is no right or wrong way, and even if you don't agree with such a play style, there's no need to call the people who do enjoy it names. Everyone is entitled to play the game how they want to play it.

While I can understand the draw to hit 50 quickly, as its easier to earn gold the higher your level, in an ES game you would miss out on virtually everything in game. Unless you read like 200 words a minutes and retain everything I just don't see how speed leveling, quest grinding, etcetera, would be pleasurable.

I've played and completed every ES game released. Several multiple times. Their all seriously fun. Have a deep, rich amount of lore. An enjoyable leveling system. Oodles to see. With the more current games Morrowind - Oblivion - Skyrim - TESO, all supporting many different play styles. It's a very nice change of pace from linear games and many other MMO's which really have only 3 play styles that are feasible early to end game. Those being DPS - Control/Support - Heal.

It is something that a player is able to do, but there isn't really a point to it. Anyone who has played a Elder Scrolls game before knows that you can do just the main quest and get through the game, but in order to get the full experience you have to go through all the side quests, explore, try different abilities (weapons, spells, armors). This game seems to be modeled the same way. You can get to lvl 50 in a day, but you just missed a thousand other aspects of the game. It is a MMO, but even in WoW, to get the full experience takes several chars and hundreds of hours.
