Celtic Heroes

When I was new to the game back in winter 2011 in update 2, it seemed like there was more to do. Now as more content keeps being added there seems less to do. Bosses and grinding is about all there is to do. I think it funny how it seems more entertaining with less levels back than, then it is now with more levels and more content. I may be wrong but i would think new players now maybe stay longer than back a few updates ago so there is better progress in player retention but I don't have the statistics to say for sure. Only otm would know this.

I will say i agree, as a low level i enjoyed the game much more. And as i play my alts that feeling comes back. Its strange. Maybe because i can solo without almost dying or idk its strange.

I feel it's kind of an exaggeration when people say you need plat to be successful in this game. Saying this as modestly as I can say, I just about have as good dps as it gets as a main for my level, and I've never bought plat. I don't lix either. I'd be 130 or so by now if I actually put effort into leveling lol. I outdps just about anyone within 10 levels of me on an appropriate level boss or mob. I have new lux and lots of damage gear, and I consider myself a somewhat high level, and I've never bought plat. I also did all this without a clan. Whatever you put into it is what you get out of it.

U don't have to buy plat to play the game but u do need plat items like idols or many others. As for lux the amount of time and effort to make the gold that will buy u lux is enormous and near impossible to get while enjoying the game. The easiest way would be to exploit the events and sell lots of stuff to high lvls im not sure how u got ur gold to buy lux but this is probably how. So in general i dont see many new ppl enjoying the game this way.

Yilley u know i dont buy plat normally. And they way people like me get all there money is by working there but of to farm you should know that by now after being in a clan with me for as long as i was in it i was constantly farming cause i needed money for lux and you guys would always get after me to lvl good times . But yea i don buy plat normally and even when i do its in small amounts of like 10$ purchases i have earned all my gold via in game and have never spent a penny to buy ingame gold and yet im still succesful and i also lvl without elixers which is insanely long and boring.

When I first started playing this game (July 2011) I figured the level cap was 60. I made this guess based on the amount of xp mobs gave and the fact that the highest levels I saw were in the lower fifties, and one player at level 60. I kept playing because I thought I could get there and then enjoy sitting at the top with the others.

When the Shalemont and Stonevale Expansion was released and the new highest level boss was 90, I thought for sure that the level cap would be 100...until after a couple months someone reached 101 and they made bosses going up to 105. I kept playing because I thought I could get there and enjoy sitting at the top with the others.

When the Otherworld Expansion was released and I saw that the highest level boss was 150, I thought for sure the cap would FINALLY be set at 150...until someone made it to level 151. I kept playing because I thought I could get there and enjoy sitting at the top with the others.

I have never played a game with levels going so high. Not to say that all games should be the same, but this game desperately needs a level cap at some point. Some people have said that it's programmed into the game at 200 or 210, idk, but it needs to be there.

For me to enjoy the game much longer, there needs to be a point at which players can be done leveling a character and a point at which they can say they've beaten the final boss. Then the game can really develop content like (fun) quests at each level, crafting, etc. This may mean something like 4 or 5 different viable armor sets for each class at a given level, rather than one good option which everyone wears. I, and I assume many others, want some actual, obtainable goal like a max level or final boss. Not a "soft cap" where leveling just slows down, but an actual end point. Not a boss that's the strongest for a little while until we make a new boss you'll have to grind for 193 hours to be able to face, but an actual end point. It's not fun to have this this nagging suspicion that right when I get close the bar will be raised AGAIN and I'll be left in the dust AGAIN by the elixer guzzlers.

I think a large proportion of the problem is a combination of the platinum store being poorly thought out and the upwards build.

OTM seem to be rushing towards building the game vertically - accommodating for higher and higher levels. Combine this with the platinum store, people use this to power-level to the cap. Then, they complain. If the platinum store was better designed, then people wouldn't be able to reach the cap as easily and wouldn't get bored to complain. Because of their complaints, OTM are forced to add more content vertically so they can level further. The problem is that there is less and less horizontal content to do within a level as you level up. There are loads of things to do at level 10, because OTM had time to design these. As more people exploit the platinum store and luxury vendors and start to monopolise worlds, OTM have to dish out more vertical content at the expense of horizontal content. Expansion 4 attempted to horizontally increase the game in terms of levelling, but it didn't really succeed in my opinion because it's all the same 'kill, regen, kill, regen, kill, level". It's like a very unsteady game of Jenga (if you know that game). Taking parts that keep the structure stable to build upwards will destabilise the whole thing. Add support to the game, and increase horizontal content significantly before building vertically. Do this by increasing the ways of getting gold, and easing up the ways to level without using platinum and luxury vendors. Diversify the ways to get xp without having to grind.
