level 56 and 61 will be no real accomplishment anymore..

Reaching the level cap is an accomplishment no matter how you got there.

Yeah, personally 4x Exp Elixir is just dumb.
I mean come on, I never had enough platinum to buy a single 3x, not even a 2x!
I had to use Tapjoy, and even then i could afford a few 2x exps.
Spacetime studios I get the idea of making more money, but I have the feeling this game is going downhill.

In one other game, a potion that gave 500% EXP was released, causing many old players like me to quit.
That was ridiculous.


My suggestion is to remove this 4x Elixir when the new level cap is introduced.
This is crazy, might play O&C.

I say quit whining. Here's why:
1) STS is a business. They need to make money to continue to provide us fun. If someone wants to pay them to level faster, let them.
2) Saying that you "earned" it because you put time instead of money into the game is completely false. Time is money, friend. You have a limited amount of time alive. How much is your time worth?

If I had no respect for you, I would say you just went 55-56 on 4xs and want to try and cover it up-.-

Level 56 and 61 is a achievement that YOU get. No one will care about your level more than you do. So how proud you are of it is determined by how hard you grinded. If you get 56 with no elixirs and all PUG's, your gonna be pretty proud. If you get 56 using extreme exp runs with x4, your still gonna be proud. But you didn't have all the blood, sweat, and tears.

Also like Crimson said, you can play with a beast level 55, and you can play with a noob level 56. Skill isn't achieved in a level.

That is the absolute Truth! I made it with probably 5 percent elixers! I knew that ,No one else did. Its all relative to you perception. I cant imagine level 56with less than 10,000 kills feels awesome!

Have I understood this correctly?

As one of the people who is spending eeeeevery evening this week desperately trying to claw the 43k I still need to get to 56, there is actually no point in the endless, dull, grinding in the Sewers, because when the xp is scaled I'll be 56 anyway?

If I thought I could get through an hour of PL without one of the kids calling me, or the phone ringing, or needing to cook dinner, or whatever, I'd happily buy the 4x elixir - but no way will I pay practically the same price for a 30min elixir as the hour long one.

Also, I'm wondering if the main people who are complaining about the 4x Elixir for plat are the ones who had the advantage of the 2x Elixir for gold and are already at 56?

It's easy enough to complain once you're at the top of the greasy pole, friends, whilst forgetting how you had a leg up yourself.

As someone who BOUGHT the entire game and is now having to spend yet more money on Elixirs to make even a tiny dent in that 43k XP, I'd say I had a right to be a bit unhappy about it.....if I'd got the game for free, I probably wouldn't mind paying out plat quite so much.

Valid point, just because you have real life duties that come a calling every few seconds doesn't mean you don't deserve level 56, or that your not elite, extreme, or hardcore. Also Your exp will be divided by 10 if you don't get level 56 before the cap rise.

what will happen at Cap Rise (from what the devs have officially told us).

• If your level 55 with 50k exp, your exp will be divided by 10. You will only have 5k exp after the cap rise.
• Level 56 will only require 8.7k exp to reach level 57.
• Level 56 Elite Quests will go away
• Level 61 Elite Quests will be added
• Players holding the Crown of Persistence will get to keep their helmets, making them rare discontinued items.

Well.....I've been 'Misspumpkin' for the last 55 levels. But it's true to say I don't have your fake tan addiction

Teehee...

Thanks, Pharcyde....that's really helpful. If it makes any sense, I didn't WANT to be 56 before, because in my mind it would have been 'game over'. But I want it now, badly, in case there are zones I can't get to otherwise
