Hell levels?
 

So does Project1999 have the original unadjusted classes and hell levels every 5? I know the class/hybrid penalties are still in, but I remember long ago they readjusted the classes and I believe that was before Kunark or Velious. It was shortly after Sony took over I think. I also remember level 45 beign absolute hell twice. Will I be experiencing this again? I will prepare my booze cabinet if so.

30, 35, 40 and 45 are hell levels so the answer to your question is yes.

Next question. Is is Xanax that makes a person get glassy eyed and run on autopilot for hours on end? I may need to go talk to my doctor

Xanax is an anti anxiety medication...

You want meth for you 40 hour exp sessions.

Could you clarify this point for me.

Is it going from 29-30 that is the "hell level" part or is it 30-31 that is?

30 itself. So, 30-31 as you put it.

That

54 and 59 were also hell levels.

I was in a velks lab frenzy group for 40 hours on my iksar monk and went from late 58 (1 yellow to ding) to 60. it took that long. we had the full frenzy level and above of spidies, + whatever I could grab from below as well. very little downtime for the group (none for me as i was constantly looking for targets)

I think hell levels were removed (or distributed evenly amongst the other levels) at or after PoP so they'll be here to stay i imagine

The remember the explanation they gave. It was something in the code that caused all the exp to build up on every 5th level. Later on they got rid of that, but it still took the same overall exp, it was just distributed more evenly. My froglok wizard was the only char I ever had who didn't have to do hell levels. I just could not remember when that change happened, but now that you mention it I remember grinding those velks spiders too

velks actually had a zone xp penalty of -13% but there were so many targets to kill it was still some of the best xp around. as well has having some fairly common reasonable quality loot like the haste gloves
