Power points 22-24: Bug or Design?

**Dze** · 06-26-2012, 06:42 PM

I noticed that I have received a power point each level since level 20 (although I forget whether I got one at 21). Also, the required experience amount has been 1465 since level 21. This seems to stray from the power points and experience requirement for the first 20 levels.

Is this a bug or is it by design?

by design. there was a post a while back about how power points skipped level 17.

the experience is also by design. there was a post somewhere by a dev confirming it.

Thanks, I only thought to look at threads posted over the past few days ... and the announcement thread.

No problem, I have somewhat of a photographic memory when it comes to random things. ;p

They decided to make the xp same because it would be difficult to grind or something. I'll find the quote hang on.

I'll repost it here for you!

we decided to flatten the curve for XP requirements based on a couple of factors, and since that curve has flattened the elite cap XP requirements are consequently the same. It seemed unfair to make someone run something like 1400 missions to get to level 23, then 1550 missions for 24... by the time we get to a level cap of 40 it would be so crazy high (and unaffected by XP elixirs like in PL/SL) that we think it would rub people the wrong way.
