Research: What Generation were/are you before the Level/Retirement Patch? Now?

[Knute]

gen 3 pre-patch, gen 5 now.

[Wallace]

Gen 4 Prepatch
Gen 13 or so now

[Rhygar666]

Gen 9 before the Patch ( couldnt retire for weeks, needed too much money)
Gen 30 now

[Canary]

Gen 1 prepatch, gen 1 now. Hit level 33 sometime last month.

 I've also retired three of my alts one or two times apiece.

[Dravic]

Gen 1 prepatch (played a while only), then suddenly patch came. Gen 2 now, only on 1 character.

I became lvl 30 twice in my crpg life, both postpatch. I also became lvl 31 once and I retired immediately. I made mistake by heirlooming wrong weapon. I am fucked up.

end of story.

That's why I think current retiring and grinding system is stupid.

Now I have 15 lvl on my shielder and I know it will take month to get to 30 lvl and another one to get to 31, 2 months of pain, so I just quit cRPG.

have some other games to play... and not waste half that month to get to 21 lvl - 21 lvl means steel shield. 15 lvl after week of playing...

Currently the higher your gen the faster you gain xp, it should just be the other way around, the lower your gen the faster you gain xp.

I agree with this.  The current system seems to discourage newer player.  Not only are older players probably better from experience and more levels then a fresh peasant, they also have heirlooms out the ass.

Would also mean you would have to decide wither you want looms are to be able to reach level 35 in a reasonable time instead of grind grind grind, collect looms, then reach 35 or whatever in the time it takes a new player to reach gen 3

every 10 generations should add another level to retirement. ie:
1-10 = 31
11-20 = 32
21-30 = 33
etc....

Nobody over gen10 would retire then again.
Have fun if all the gen10+ people go to lvl35...

posting on behalf of my mate, who had gen 4 pre, gen 11 now freshly

and a little ot:
to anyone who use the phrase "no life" and such, cmon, how could a dead guy level up?

[Corrado_Decimo]

Well, for the sole purpose of getting to level 35, there's no need to retire after gen 7 or 8 or so. The time needed to get to 35 just get's longer.

Getting to level 35 with full 3x heirloomed armour/weapons is a different story though.

Glad to see people are breaking the new retirement system too.

nobody is breaking something. retirement system work that way, people use it that way.. plain and simple.

Something like this would be interesting. At gen 11 it takes you half as long as a gen 1 to get to level 31 and lvl 32 is twice as long as that. This means the time it takes to retire for a gen 11 would be the same for a gen 1.
I'd propose this though:
1-10 = 31
11-30=32
31-60=33
61+ = 34

Of course, with this, I'd also demand that they increase the average xp gained or decrease how much xp you need per level by at least 25%
