[Thelonearcher]

Ok ok ok now that this has cleared the air. Give us 1.7.... please

[Lesrider]

Btw, I didn't see any puppet strings. That spoiler was a bit too hyped up

[Ellyidol]

Sounds good I hope this crown really makes it worth it. Gonna be kinda sad going through the entire xp grind just for a flimsy looking crown or just that 1 armor extra

1 question assomers what does -ALS mean?

Its his initials

While we are on the subject, I hope the exp gain will be more tightly correlated to difficulty level across the entire game. In the AO3 paradigm, why shouldn't Gurgox give 20x or 30x the exp that a mummy does? This will make exp gain a natural byproduct of playing the game as opposed to a goal in and of itself. If Shadow Caves V run can give 10x the exp that a Crush the Keeper run does, maybe the game will be more balanced. I personally enjoy consuming content when I accomplish several goals at once (exp gain, loot, quests, etc.).

Another idea would be to have exp rewards for things other than kills, i.e., how well one plays the game. For example, solo combos could give 1 exp point. Combos with other players could give 2-3 exp points. This would penalize hangers-on, and rightly so.

As for the "Crown of Persistence," (lmao) I am happy to have contributed, abeit in a minute way, to PL lore

[Ellyidol]

What yanis said is true. Have to disagree on combo bit though, bears

A small concern too, while the new Exp is good, doesn't it just equal a few more runs of the same map?

I think Keeper map can net about 400ish xp if you can clear fast enough, have to check values again. With that, won't the extra Exp needed just equal 1-2 more keeper runs and roughly 10k at most? (3k exp pot, damage pot).

Also, basing on Physiologic's graph, I'm curious why the steady increase drops after 45.

ALS, any hints when 1.7 is commin

Agree wholeheartedly. I've always been surprised that bosses don't give a lot more xp than regular mobs.
I'd like to see things like Crush xp farming a thing of the past because it's more worth it to kill the boss than remake before you get to him.

I agree with this. No, actually I don't. I totally, 100% agree with every single letter and space typed into that post.

Holy crap, I cannot agree more. It has never seemed right to me that a player actively using self combos, setting up his teammates for combos, chugging potions, and actually playing the game to the best of his/her ability should be rewarded the same as a player who sits in the back doing nothing but drinking coke and eating pizza IRL.

[Lesrider]

Oh and I assume the lvl 56 Crown will only be available while 56 is the cap? Otherwise it's pretty meaningless.

[thugimmortal]

Ok thats what i like to see

all positive comments thanks devs for finding a happy medium.
one question are we going to build up to 56 on just the sewar campain or are some other maps in the pipeline before we can reach 56 or is the sewars a super long campain. anyway keep up the good work i love this game so much lol

[Phoenixking]

Didn't he say he was going to make elite level for 50-56?

You're right. We could start giving XP for quests as well.

[Phoenixking]

It that's the case, consider giving credit for time served... 1,000 snowballs x 3 characters = persistence galore...
