Hitting the lvl 50 wall - again

Hi guys.

I am new to this forum and have an opening question to the veteran players regarding this excellent game :)

I am on my second character hitting lvl 50, and I must say leveling seems to feel rather slow and cumbersome which is a shame since i love looking at the passive skills tree around each level and i cant wait to reach end game content. Is it just me having bad gear, or is it normal to hit a wall at the end of Cruel ? Will some gear and the starting on merciless make one level faster? It seems hard to understand how one would even reach lvl 70 at this rate.

EDIT: I'm a noob cookie cutter LA ranger btw.

Kinds regards.

If you post your gear and build, it would help us figure out why you have hit the wall.

I have noticed a difficulty curve in this game. Since you are at the end of cruel difficulty, The game becomes harder. Once you can get through act 3 and hit merciless act 1 it becomes easier again.

I think you are stuck on this difficulty curve. If you like solo might be better just to group and kill act 3 cruel quick, Than go back to solo in act 1 merciless.

Act 3 is overtuned, so unless you are an experienced player, you will have trouble getting through it, especially in cruel. The infamous LA build is also quite weak until late game.

Ahh i see. Thx for the swift replies! They answers my questions. I will try to man up and quickly get through Cruel then :)

What level would you recommend for entering merciless?

levelwall with 50 ? wtf

on 50 act 3 lunaris 3 gives you half a lvl for one run i think you dont know what levelwall means

Thats kinda subjective don't you think?

Always keep an eye out for gear upgrades and make sure you are grinding in the best zone for your build.

Also, if your gear is below par sometimes it helps to play in parties until you can get better gear.

In the end, just stick with it.

yeah you are right. I just tried entering the docks even though its a level above me. It seems to work really well for my build in there (except for when I alt-tabbed out of the game to write this - i died :) )

Experience required to level up increases exponentially, when the experience granted by monster kills increases in a more linear way.

As you can see here.

You'll notice that the real wall is between lvl 70 and 80.

But there's also a smaller wall, on another scale, around lvl 55.
Here's a zoomed in version I made :



It's pretty normal for the leveling to take longer with levels, just don't be discouraged. All the players have to go through it.
