Playing through episode 2 won’t really be playing if the moment it hits we hop up 9 or 12 levels. If episode 2 was balanced around a seamless transition from episode 1, then people who just beat episode 1 can go through it with work, but then people who have been doing domination for months will breeze through 90% of it after getting bumped up to level 29 or some ****. If episode 2 was balanced around the ones who have been playing for a while so the dedicated members can enjoy it, then it would take months of grinding after beating episode 1 to even begin on the first forum of episode 2.
