Summary
Palworldplayers have become increasingly annoyed at the XP grind between levels 40 and 50. One Reddit user noted the leveling curve for those ten levels and how steep they are in comparison to the first 40. It could potentially take players a lot more time than expected to unlock the content hidden in thePalworldend game.
Developed by Pocket Pair Inc.,Palworldwas released in early access in January 2024. The game is a third-person creature collector that explores the Palpagos Islands to capture and fight against Pals. Upon release, there was much controversy over whether the developer had taken assets directly from recently releasedPokemongames and used artificial intelligence during development. There were also criticisms concerning the dark themes of exploitation as part of the gameplay. However, since its initial launch,Palworldhas achieved record-breaking total playersseveral different times.
The Reddit user, Blubbpaule, notes in their post that the game’s leveling system discourages grinding after reaching Level 40 because of the time it would take toreach Level 50 inPalworld. While it might not actually take 120 hours to complete the task, as the original poster noted, other commenters explained that it really does feel that way. One commenter remarked on the fact that with those XP numbers, leveling to 100 will be nearly impossible when the option becomes available.
Palworld Players Think It’s a Tough Grind to Level 50
Much ofPalworld’sgameplay is spent on grinding, collecting Pals, and creating legendary balls. Unlike other creature collectors likePokemon, the leveling system and gameplay inPalworldis based on the player’s character, not their Pals. Players must keep track of their hunger, craft tools, build bases, andequip Pals with weaponsto progress. Some gamers would likely feel like they’re hitting a brick wall after working so hard once they reach that slope in the XP curve.
Pocket Pair Inc. has not commented on the state of its game’s leveling curve, though an upcoming update or patch fix may be released to combat the leveling curve issue. The developer consistentlyupdatesPalworldwith new content, adding new gameplay and quality-of-life features. The latest update forPalworld,The Sakurajima update, was released this Juneand included all-new Pal skins, new meteorite events, the ability to craft and use lockpicks, and more. Pocket Pair Inc. definitely has more up its sleeves, and changing its leveling system might be on the table.
