Re: Time Taken To Level Up

  I have been playing this game for a number of years now and have been in the level 90's for what seems like an eternity!!!

  I play with some excellent players whom have been playing longer than I and therefore are higher levels(which seems in the earlier days it was easier to level up quicker!)

  I would love to buy new equipment but that seems at this rate will take at least another year to achieve!

  I feel once your in the mid 90's it's just taking far to long to level up would WGT look into this ?

  I have spoke with my friends here and we all feel the same surely if we level up quicker we would spend money quicker to get new clubs?

  I know when or if I eventually get to level 100 I will be buying a driver,an iron set,new wedges and probably a putter I just think your missing out as much as we are as players.Some of the people I play with have better clubs than me as they bought them before you changed the levels on some of them ie the R11 driver it just puts some of us on the backfoot as we cant compete with some of the equipment.

  Cheers

  It can be quite the walk. Although I play almost everyday, it is not ardent; about 1 or 2 games. I hit L99 on 1-1, and now am half way only to L100. Quite a hike. ;-}

  After 90 it becomes a serious chore, but again it should be like that.  Not to worry though; once you hit 90 you have access to equipment good enough to take you as far as you want to go.  SLDR driver, R11 irons, multiple top-notch putters, and your choice of the best wedges in the game.  Played right, and with proper balls (90 gets you the top ball too), there's nobody you can't hang with.

  Have you thought about ways you can maximize the XP you get each time you play?

  Play one 18 hole round instead of two 9 hole games. Tournaments and multi-player game pay more XP than single player stroke play games.

  But as mentioned, in the 90's levels buying clubs is less frequent, so moving up a level isn't as pressing as at lower levels.

  The daily 880 XP points is the one that really helps add XP.

  Each day I play I usually earn 1440 or so XP which means gaining 100,000 XP every 70 days or so.
