To anyone who says 60 is too low of a cap

I just got to 29. It took around 32,500 XP.

To get to 30, it takes 67,359 XP.

I will imagine the same thing happens at 39, where the required XP doubles to some obscene amount like 200,000, and again at 49 to 400,000+.

According to clare, it took 366,464 XP to level up to 99.

 If this pattern continues, I will be wrong when I said reaching 60 will be equivalent to reaching 80 pre-reset. Reaching 60 will be equivalent to reaching well beyond 100, perhaps even above 110 or 120. It will take at least as much XP to reach 60 as it would to reach 100 in the Beta, and that's with a cap on daily XP donations of a few thousand, along with a nerf to exploitable mechanics that made fast leveling so easy before, like ice crunching/sno cones/gurly drinks + butterflies/pork fountains.

EDIT: after reaching 30 and requiring 44k to level up to 31 I've realized I'm wrong about this. The doubling only affects the level before each increment of 10; after that, the total XP required is increased by 10k of what it was prior to the doubling. 39-->40, by this estimate, should take around 100k XP with 40-->41 taking 60k.

  • Keeping in mind the 60 level cap I've dialed back my play time since last night.   I figure 45 minutes to one hour a day is more than enough time to spend on a game. 

    I don't quite understand how some people at the same level can have vastly different xp.  Don't you level up when you fill up your xp?   I suppose I'm not very efficient and sometimes go over the top when I'm near completing a level and that excess is not counted?

  • sorry that's a bit off topic.  

    Go back to your maths.

  • Personally, I think it's too high. I'd be cool with level 20 cap.

  • I think 60 is as high as it is so that Tiny Speck can find ways to expand upon the "elder game" as time goes on.

  • Another way to see it is that, according to the leaderboard, the highest player at level 19 has 117,384 xp. That is a little above one third of your xp, Crepeist, at level 29.

    If it goes like that, it would be like one million xp at 39, three million at 49, nine million at 59. It would be less than what Clare reached. (But I don't really remember how much xp Clare amassed.)

  • OK, after reaching 30 and requiring 44k to level up to 31 I've realized I'm wrong about this.

    The doubling only affects the level before each increment of 10; after that, the total XP required is increased by 10k of what it was prior to the doubling. 39-->40, by this estimate, should take around 100-120k XP with 40-->41 taking at least 60k.

  • I'm not sure I really understand the point of the level cap at all, but hey ho, I'm not playing for the levels, so what the heck...
