Exp rates are 1/10th

Does 60 OC give me anything that make me look more fabulous?

so.. they really want people to buy exp boosts? im sorry but most players are going to leave the eng version and move to the jp version becuase they can play the game correctly over there.. even the starting area were you learn your basic skills is cut in half with this CB version... are you really going to charge us cash at the first baby steps?

60 Onigiri coins will get you a 100% exp boost that lasts half an hour i think

So I can pay $6 to have 4/10 the experience for 30 mins on the EN server OR I go to the JP server and get 10/10 exp for free? That's a tough choice... I sincerely hope this isn't so because that would be one of the most ridiculous things to try to pull, and on a game that has so much potential and already has servers in JP.

After retrying CBT with the 2.0 exp update, I feel like the game doesn't really need the 10.0 scaling JP does - if anything, 3.0 or 4.0 as a base would already make me more content between the 1.0 and 10.0 scaling. 3.0~4.0 would allow us to more or less match the level of dungeons and gear at a 2-3 difference for a majority of the early-mid beginning (instead of the current 5-10 levels under).

While the exp rates are still pretty low compared to the JP version. I think they made it like this for the hardcore grinders to actually "earn" the CB rewards for reaching the end of the beta content.

There is the chance they will increase the exp rate again when the service starts.

[Doguso]

Don't worry Jung, you'll be 20 levels under soon enough. 3-4 would be good, that was what I was expecting. I truly hope the exp rate is 4-5x come release though. And not this.

I like the challenge of the reduced exp rate, which forces you to gamble with the higher level dungeons for missions.

However, I do see some problem with the difficulty curve especially when you are stuck doing some bosses and Hell mode solo, where it is better in a cooperative party in which the players will trade between taking aggro and dealing hits. This is forcing me to grind dungeons I can solo quickly and gain a moderate amount of exp with SS rank.

I play a close-ranged fighter, and though I can take out higher level enemies in a few combos, I can get one-shotted pretty easily by bosses since I have not much Defense besides the Magatamas. And to solo bosses like Tiamat and Momotaro, I definitely need some skill in dodging, but I would still need some good stats to withstand the hard-to-dodge attacks.

I think there should be a reduced EXP rate, compared to the JP ver., but not as low as it is now. (Possibly 1/3- 1/2 rate? 1/10 is just too much.)

[Currently level 16. Been grinding ever since I somehow made it through Tiamat and Momotaro at lvl 10-11.]

I think EXP rate of 0.4 would be best. First it was 0.1 and then it got buffed to 0.2 yesterday which allready was a big help. Yet I think that 0.4 would be the best so we can easily get all the gear that we need.

Think about it, with an exp rate of 1 like its in the Jp version, you probably will have a hard time making yourself smelted weapons of +50.... and once you do, the weapon allready is kind of outdated, unfitting for your higher level after all the grinding xD. Hmmmm...

[Yukinari]

Personally, I play a lot of Dark Souls, the lowered exp doesn't bother me so much as level requirements on weapons and the cost of getting something to +40

[Lord of Death]

Damn man.. I don't mind a slight exp decrease to keep up the challenge but this is insane. My guess is ( or my HOPE IS) that this is only untill CBT ends. Then the exp rates will go up.
