Hi everyone!
So I have completed the plan for the first version of the XP calculator!
XP Calculator Plan for the first version:
Players go to a site and enter in their current level and target level that they would like to reach.
Players choose whether they are "Hardcore levelers" (4-5 people hardcore), "Casual levelers" (23 people casual), or "Chatting levelers" (1-2 people very casual).
Players choose if they want to do the runs with elkixers and if so, which (ie. 4x Plat elixer, 1.5x gold elixer, 3x free daily one).
Players push calculate and they get back the following information:
XP required to target level
Amount of time without elixers
Amount of time with elixer of choice
Amount of plat/gold if using elixers
Best map(s) to level in to reach target
Data Collection:
So thats the plan, now this is a pretty big project because there is a large amount of data that we will need to collect. If anyone is willing to help out, would they mind choosing an item from the list below, posting to say that your working on it so two people dont work on it, and then post the results here when your done.
What data to collect:
Find out how much XP you get per run without elixers on the following maps (working on major leveling maps for each campaign for now):
Forest Haven - The Skeleton Cult Crypts
Dark Forest - The Kings Forest
Balefort Castle - Hidden Passage
Fathom Crypt - Mega Maze Mashup
Lost Expedition - Return of The Frost King
Ancient Swamps - Boyous Boss Brawl
Alien Oasis I - The Great Pyramid
Alien Oasis II - Plasma Pyramid
Alien Oasis III - Crush the Keeper
Balefort Sewers - Bandit Boy Hideout
Nuris Hollow - The Haunted Synthony
Mount Fang - Crypt - COLLECTED,ty ayc
Find out the average amount of time taken to do the run without elixers with each of the following three modes:
Power XP runs (4-5 players hardcore)
Leisure runs (2-3 players casual)
Chatting run (1-2 players very casual)
Find out if the amount of xp from maps is alterred in any way if your doing one of the run methods above. Map XP gain without elixers should be around the same for all 3 of the modes.
Find out if the 1.5x elixer for example actually does give you exactly 1.5x#xp per map. - CONFIRMED by Grankledude
If any of the information above is incorrect, please dont hesitate to correct me!
If you guys could help out with that data collection, ill get started on the utility programming right now :)
Thanks everyone!
