Contrary to what I’ve seen most about level scaling, I actually quite enjoy it for the most part. Being able to go almost anywhere, and progress the story / renown / side quests as you see fit without being gated by area level is quite fun.
Where I think the scaling falls down (which has been highlighted a lot in the hardcore lvl 100 race) is the scaling in normal dungeons. The fact that the optimal play is to ignore sigils altogether and just keep farming the same dungeons because they scale all the way up to 95+ feels wrong.
Surely the better play would be to scale up until 73 when sigils come into play, so that for safer play, you can continue to farm lower dungeons, or push sigils?
After playing 3 days almost non stop i can guarantee that majority casuals wont be sticking around in seasons long. Leveling curve is too harsh and you need to put too many game hours to even consider getting one char to 100. I think many will quit after around level 60-70 as it takes too much time. Only really diehard fans will put up the amount of time each char needed to progress.

That’s true of most ARPGs to be fair. The end-game shouldn’t really be scaled for casuals.
I just feel like end-game feels rewarding when there’s a certain point in time that you’re selectively incrementing difficulty, so that you can feel your own power creep. Everything scaling even at the highest levels negates that - but I do understand it throughout the rest of the levelling process tbh.

What are you even on about? Just finished story and I’m 54 already, in around 20h of gameplay.
As for seasonal content, you’ll already have a headstart with all the stuff from altars and renown. What would it take to please some ppl? lvl 100 in 2h?
I do agree the scaling is scuffed at the moment - it feels like you’re taking 3 steps forward with a good upgrade and 2 steps back with each levelup.
Oh so you don’t have to go pick up all the Altars in the seasons? Didn’t know that and if that’s confirmed…thank F !
yep. it just does not carry from SC to HC - so if you play both, you’ll have to do it twice.
Play another levels 20-30 on top of 54 and then come back. Or watch diablo known streamers. They are bored leveling as prgoression goes quite crazy. I dont mind it in normal mode but in season no way i would play alts, Season will end before i gear and level 100 2 chars.
And I’m saying it’s only been 2-3 days, sure it takes time to level - that’s true for every arpg.
What exactly is your point? You’d expect to max out 5 chars in 2 days?
As for the bored part, yeah… there’s not much content at the moment, the game just launched to be fair.
