Level Adjustment for Players (Level 3377+) to the New XP System

terminator · Post by **terminator** » Sat Aug 31, 2019 9:42 pm

As some of you may have noticed, your levels might seem different. This is due to going from having the capped xp at 2.14b towards the new system of cotinuely adding 650k xp per level. Because new players who are not lvl 3377 do not have the chance to lvl quicker through the capped xp. This brings all current players over lvl 3377 into the same stance as a new player would face. This is a one time event to remove "unfairness" achieved from those who benefited from having a capped XP. (Update, Quests wont be affected by new xp system)

The equation is a summary of how this was achieved
If (Current lvl - bought lvl) > 3377:

L=(Current lvl- bought lvl-3377)

Summation(Past XP System)= (L/2)(2.14b+2.14b(L))

Summation(Past XP system) = Summation(New XP System)
New L+bought lvl+3377= New Level

*After the sum of the old system was found, we set this equal to the new system, and solved for the level that equals this.*
*Bought levels and levels below 3377 are unaffected*

FAQ for the Changes

1. Does this affect the levels I bought?
A: No this does not affect bought levels

2. Why did my levels go down?
A: We adjusted the XP for players above 3377 to the new xp system, which requires more xp per lvl, which may result in a decrease of levels.

3. Why did a player of similar level have a smaller decrease in level?
A: They had a higher bought level count, resulting in a smaller change. The adjustment works at a player level, analyzing their individual levels bought.

4. I am lvl 3377+ and was not affected
A: This adjustment only took affect if your Current level minus your bought levels was greater then 3377. Meaning a 10k who bought 8k lvls will not be affected by this.

5. Did players near 4k before, and under 4k after lose their pets?
A: Players who are now under 4k due to this change will keep their pink dragons if they had them before.

Inb4 none of them realize they still kept their "time" invested earning XP, and doubly got an advantage by spending their "time" grinding at the higher level (earning xp faster) and also by applying purchased levels AFTER all earned/grind XP; instead only focusing on the end result level change.

Definitely deserves a +1. Well done Termy! Was about time to get changes done! It's just fair for all.

My point exactly, they still get an advantage for having reached the higher levels beforehand (nothing wrong with that, they played more/spent more so all is good) this just took away the "impossible to reach" factor.

Not to mention ofc mo' monies, especially with being able to exceed the soft cap of (what was it, 13777 now?) by purchasing levels after you've reached it.

I think a player with the initials MM has been asking for this for quite some time.

My thoughts:

When I joined ft in 2013, LVL 100 was something beyond everyone's reach never mind 1k or 3377.

The game has obviously evolved since then. The levelling system hasn't kept up

People boasting of levels in 6 minutes or whatever - well that is ridiculous. Too easy, no challenge and not fair to other players. Be honest.

Indeed, the issue has not only been stopped, it has been erased from history.
