Last week I agreed to level up a jedi knight quickly so we’d have a possible backup tank ready if we needed to level one quickly. I put the other games on hold including Secret World which I’m missing right now to get done as quickly as possible with the leveling grind. If you’re wondering why I’m doing it the powerlevel way it’s pretty simply. I know that if I drag it on for too long I’ll lose interest and I’ll have trouble finishing.
So, after one week, I’m level 33 and I’m questing on Balmorra at the moment. Not too bad considering and I’m hoping that one more week of this and I’ll be done. It’s a bit hard to say because I’m in the rough 30s patch where levels come much more slowly but we’ll see how it plays out.
Speaking of the 30s patch… why is it that the 30s feel like they take forever and when you hit 40 it seems to pick up speed again?
In any case, it haven’t been as boring as I would have tought and it’s even fun most of the time. I guess I’m enjoying the challenge of seeing how fast I can make it. I’m saying most of the time because I’m realizing that the leveling experience in Swtor is really uneven in terms of interest. Some zones are simply more fun than others. I’ll probably do a review of the entire leveling experience once I’m done.
I think 40s only seem like it picks up speed again because the end is in sight
That’s a huge motivation. Unlike in the 30s, you’re sort of stuck in the middle, in a kind of “so far and yet so close” situation.
Once you get Doc, things go a bit faster because there’s no downtime between pulls.
Good luck with the levels, sounds like you’re making pretty good progress
