I couldn't sleep this night because of this thread:
http://forum.melee.org/suggestions-corner/faster-levelling-up-for-low-gen/I was sleepy when coming up with most of this, and I hammered the details out here:
This is an over the top suggestion to stir things up, it’s mostly there to point out other solutions then brute force “change xp rate for everyone to attract new players” solutions.Here goes…Reduce xp required to ding by 33%
(That's the same as buffing xp to 1492 per tick with unchanged xp requirement)
First gen MAIN gets triple xp until lvl 31, maybe x2 is enuff?
Second gen MAIN gets double xp until lvl 31, maybe x1.5 is enuff?
Then the grind begins at x1 xp rate
Other tweaks to make generation impact the gameplay much much more:Reduce repair costs to 4% of current(minimum of 1 gold for EVERY item and make them apply 100% of the time. Going nude should cost 100 gold/round “repair”(medical bill)
Generation bonuses:
Decrease repair chance by:
This formula(excel format due to doing it at work):
100-SQRT(generation-1)*10
&
Use the same formula for chance to keep multi when losing a round.
Hard cap at 50% might be necessary, but then a 1% to 3% xp boost per gen starting at 27(which is the gen that causes more than 50% repair reduce/keep multi chance)
Generation(Heritage?) Repair risk: Keep multi on loss chance: My biases:
1 100 0
2 90 10<-------------------------------10+ alts here
3 86 14
4 83 17
5 80 20
6 78 22
7 76 24
8 74 26
9 72 28
10 70 30
15 63 37
16 61 39
17 60 40<-------------------------------My main
1 59 41<-------------------------------My "Heritage" level
20 56 44
25 51 49
26 50 50<-------------------------------Hard cap at 50%?
30 46 54
40 38 62
50 30 70
60 23 77<-------------------------------Highest gen I heard about is in the 60's
75 14 86
90 6 94
95 3 97
100 1 99
Heritage system:
+1 for each gen on main
+ half highest alts gen(rounded down)
+1 for every ten gens on an alt.
For all those old players that hasn't retired that many times: Maybe a decent gen boost is in place.
I hope that there is some sort of data on when your character(database entry) was created somewhere.
