there's nothing wrong with that, i was only around gen 3 before the before the last patch, now i'm gen 12, i've already lost 3 modifiers, i've put in all this time and effort to get to gen 12, anyways, we'll see what happens, if it happens, it happens, if not, then good...
Let's say you took X time to go from gen 3 to gen 12.
We can consider X as a sum of
G, G being the xp needed for one run from 1 to 31,
divided by Sg, the amount of xp you win per time unit at a given g generation.
We can say Sg = 1 + 0,1 * (g-1), so Sg means the xp multi you get from retirements
Going from gen 3 to 12 takes you
X = G/1,2 + G/1,3 + G/1,4 ... + G/2 time units
1,2 is the xp multiplier of gen 3 and 2 is the xp multi of gen 11
Let's simplify this X roughly :
X = 1/2 (1,67G + 1,54G + 1,43G + 1,33G + 1,25G + 1,18G + 1,11G + 1,05G + G)
X = 5,78 G
So if I didn't do errors with the calc, your 9 "1 to 31" runs took you a little less time than 6 of these at gen 1.
That means that even at low gens like 3 or 12 (still low), your xp bonus is very important and makes your leveling way faster (1/3 less time here). Some people (please post to get your proper credit
) estimated that the shortest way to level 40 was first to grind around 4300 generations, and then start leveling.
"All this time and effort" to retire isn't really true, because it's the best choice you can do in the game anyway, and each time you complete a gen, it becomes easier.
