level 30?!?!

[Blazzen67]

I really dont see how some people got to level 30 in 15 hours . i am a completionist. i do everything the game has to offer (after all, i paid good money for the game). i got about 15 hours in on PS4 and well over 20 hours in on PC and im only level 12 on PS4 and level 18 on PC. that's doing all the side missions,  going after all the missing agents, crashed drones, cell phones, etc, opening up the safe houses and doing their side missions, on top of doing the main story. hell, i have only completed the left side of the map, and under the dark zone, i still got the entire right side to do lol. the only way i see it possible is if they skipped everything and just did the main story on hard mode. to me that's a waste of a game, to try to get an imaginary prize to be one of the first to level cap. whats the point? the real end game isn't till next month with the start of incursions. well, in my opinion end game starts then. so why the rush?  i guess im too old to understand the appeal to get to level cap as quickly as possible. People can play the game however they want, its their money, so really don't care how anyone else plays the game.  im just curious as to why is there a rush for some people. the game is going to be around for a very long time after all.

haha blazzen, i wondered the same thing myself. Perhaps @ItsGamerDoc will enlighten us. He did it in 14 hours.

HAHA hope someone can explain this. some people who complete games like this so quickly are usually the ones who complain a game lacks content, i will just point and laugh at anyone says this game lacks content lol

Yeah he was sad about it haha. I promised myself I'd take my time on this son'a bitch so I am playing a couple hours every couple days. btw we need to play blazzen, we have yet to roll together.

I'm trying to get to 30, I'm just trying to take my time and enjoy the game though. I got over a day so far and I'm at 21. I got there on my own so I feel pretty good about it.

I hit lv21 last night and I'm about 22-23 hours in. I haven't witnessed any lv30s under 35 hours but I'm sure there's bunch. I was focusing on the side missions mainly to unlock the collectibles, then I notice the huge amount of XP you earn for story missions.

I ran in a 2 man group and we finished faster then most that go the game before us then became as I posted in here a No Life person and now am in full high end gear pretty much  http://imgur.com/EleCA4P

What we did was pretty much clear a entire zone making sure all side missions where done. By the time we finished we didnt touch the last zone and only did half of the zone before us. We walked into places even if we out lvled it by 2-3 lvls because the side missions safe house stuff was what you wanted. If you skipped a side missions it could mess up everything as another mission later on in the story wouldnt open which would then stop you from getting the bonus xp for clearing the zone.

Things you should of looked at.. Security I think it is has a 10% increase of ALL XP. Which is a must if you want to lvl quickly. Also you mus get lvl 4 filter which can be done by looking at the perks medical tech give. 

You pretty much run a circle around each zone going from one to another and even with being above the zone finishing to side quest so that you could unlock everything for the next zones. And you should ALWAYS have a quest taking you to the next safe house or it means you did something wrong. We did every encounter / side mission / mission in each zone we skipped passed the cell phones and other random 330xp stuff because really it means nothing.

Yeah that was my other character, I have a separate character I am leveling with my buddy who I convinced to buy the game. My main is 20

I will agree and disagree with the point of the fact the game lacking content. The game has a lot going for it currently yes. But there is a lot of changes that need to happen before the 1st raid type thing comes out. For those you talk about who hit 30 in 15hrs and such the game doesnt have much to offer because right after hitting 30 (me and my other 3 friends) got geared WAY to fast because of the phoenix credit thing that just got fixed on the 12th. And yes I know thats only a slim percent of us but its still players. Now with the gear we have challenge modes are a joke we can clear the tunnel one in 20min or less which means we are still getting a crazy amount of credits (90 a hr). And now like i said in a post before we have pretty much turned into the bullys of the game because there is nothing left for us to do. We go into the darkzone and can pretty much fight off 5+ people by our self. When we are in a group of 4 its impossible to kill us unless we randomly run into another group of 4 that are geared the way we are. And we have found others that we have made "friends" with in the game who are geared the way we do so when the raid does come out, whats to say its not like the challenge modes currently and are just to easy? So yea we know the game is going to get harder and have more to do soon but with the lead we currently have its almost like we will never really be caught because while people are struggling to get threw stuff and to farm it in a easy amount of time we will always be passed that point and deconstructing high ends like we are now.

@JKilled just by reading what you wrote. it looks like  you played the game to level up as quickly as you could, to finish the game as quickly as you could (i could be misreading what you are saying) . plus you did it in a 2 man team, which will make the game that much faster to finish, im playing solo so far, and i am in no hurry to play the game. look, im not knocking anyone on how they play a game, there is no right way or wrong way to play a game. it just seems to me gamers now a days are so rushed in games like this, that they just want to get to level cap as soon as they can, as fast as they can. (not talking about you personally, just in general)  and like you said, here it is less than week after release you have. "turned into the bullys of the game because there is nothing left for us to do". By comparison, i have been playing solo, taking my time to smell the roses (so to speak) and a week later i still have half the map to play and i have something to do.

 The only point to my post was, why be in a hurry? the game isnt going anywhere anytime soon, so why rush? by taking my time, i will be in the same spot you are in anyway, before the first free content drops next month. so i am in no hurry to be top dog in the game, and just in my opinion, its a little bit more satisfying and more of a fulfilling experience to me,  than finishing the game in 15 hours, have nothing left to do, and in the process,  feel like i wasted $60

I got to level 30 in about 48 hours, I mainly wanted to hit 30 asap so I can hit up the DZ before the masses to gain an edge on the rest. Also doing the missions on hard only changes the credits you get and item drops at the end. Xp and wing supplies are fixed.

to be fair,  i am playing on 2 different platforms (PS4 and PC) so if i was just on one platform,  i would be a lot higher than i am now, but i doubt i would be level 30 yet. ..but it is what it is...
