Has anyone reached level 55 before? o.o
Not that I've seen. The most EXP I've ever seen someone get is around ~4.5k - which would put them at level 54.
(First, regarding most of my comments that will be made from here on. Unless i state that i have tested it and believe it to be 100% op/imba/whatever, i dont expect it to fully op, and expect it to get shot down easily. Also, because my CD key is muted and the resulting ability of me to play SC, considering i cant host, is very very low, I likely will not be on SC that much, and may fall out of sync with the game, atleast until SCII. Because of this, ill probably post here less, but ill still be watching, pointing out things i can see by text that may need to be considered (see below) and such. I will play whenever i can get on and find a game, however.)
This i feel should at least be worked on, but if its known as balanced, just tell me and ill proly shut up. (This is the same with most of my griefs norm, their just on the moment thoughts, although this isnt, but ingame unless i come to the forum and post something, i dont mean it, most of the time. I greif mostly because i know your game isnt fully balanced yet, and ill always be looking for imbas.)
Now, huge bracketed paragraphs aside, i feel the current exp scaling could use a look at.
I cant test this ingame (as for sandbox mode, have a night/day switcher ( i have to wat so long just to get a short use of my night spells...) and a way to spawn an enemy hero so i can test things like tiamats and CoC. Maybe a thing that i can choose to turn it practice mode when we have other people, so this would be possible. This also allows testing of realistic damage output.
Now, back to the exp scaling. You get INSANE levels really quickly, and then, very quickly, you stop levelling nearly as fast. This creates an almost illegible start game, except for the capping phase, and because the spawns dont change that much, your exp gain doesnt change that much.
Possibly broken concepts (just conceptually.)
Necro spamming strength...
Psycho stunlock near base.
CW, no offence in day, no slows at night.
Spawnrushing.
^May not all be right at all. if you wanna shoot me down, do so please, i would appreciate it (assuming its done well) If you dont understand my thinking on these, ill explain.
None.
