    in two hours I would do Soloing or crafting or trading.

      I wouldn't dare waste other people's time if I only have a 2 hr window.

     

     

    This thread pretty much has anything I can add already here.  

    slower is better, exp/progress wise.  If I ding twice in an hour, something is wrong.  

    You got the deets, make the right call Devs.

    Probably find a group then log off because I play unwanted classes and takes me forever to get a group usually.

    My expectation from a 2hr time play time would be to accomplish some sort of progress doing one of the following items, with a free choice between them:

     

    • XP towards my next level with a group or solo. Doesn’t have to be a full level by any means.
    • Crafting
    • Exploring
    • Questing

     

    The problem I see primarily is group XP during short play sessions. The first response to this post from Ruar, gave good examples. EQ took too long for 2 hours, and WoW was the opposite end of the spectrum, so a balance needs to be struck between the two. We’ve already had people specifically state in this thread that if they only had 2 hours of play time they wouldn’t waste a group’s time. So that means they’ll be electing to just solo content during their 2 hour window. I, however, will be playing this game for to the social and grouping aspect and would prefer to be grouping and meeting people while I XP even if I only have 2 hours. So I would love the ability to have some group game play for the shorter play sessions. I am hoping that VR will be able to hit that balance of quality of life vs meaningful hardships as I will be one of those that will have shorter play sessions 5 days out of 7 during the week, and would love to be more than a weekend warrior in Pantheon.
