Marvel Avengers, Square Enix’s action RPG, will finally arrive on the current generation’s consoles on March 18, but it will also have another change. After that date, it will take even longer to reach the maximum character level of the game, because the developer is increasing the XP requirement.
According to the developer, the rapid leveling up and the rapid gain of XP were something he thought could be confusing for new players, in part because each level required the same amount of XP to progress, rather than requiring more to each character level.
“This led to rhythm problems, such as skill points being rewarded very quickly, which can be confusing and overwhelming for younger players. We want every decision to invest in a skill or Hero to be more meaningful, ”said the developers.
To help reduce the amount of progress that players can make quickly, the XP needed to advance through levels later in the game is being increased from character level 25. To complete the post, the developer recommends that anyone who has a character that is not level 50 already levels them out quickly before the move on March 18. Of course, this means that players who are starting new on the Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 will be forced to enter the new slower leveling system.
One thing that is not entirely clear is why this change was necessary. Not starting to increase XP until level 25 means that new players may still be confused about the skills. More importantly, the hard work of leveling a character to level 50 was already one of the slowest and most arduous parts of Marvel Avengers. Making this process even more tedious, especially for new players, is confusing, to say the least.
The March 18 update Marvel Avengers will also include the release of Hawkeye, as well as a new change in cosmetics that make them a little less random and give players more control over which to unlock.
