Leveln macht doch wieder Sinn
Wyatt Cheng:
°Hey guys I want to provide some clarity as some of the comments here are misinterpreting the change.
You have a Paragon leveling rate that you see now on live. Let's call that the "Live rate"
You have the Paragon leveling rate seen on the PTR, let's call that the "PTR" rate.
You have the new rate that Nevalistis is referring to, we'll call that "Anticipated 2.0" rate
A few important notes.
1) The shape of the leveling curve changes with respect to current Paragon level. PTR rate and Anticipated 2.0 rate are actually very similar at Paragon level 1-50. But if you look at the rate going from paragon 250=>251, Anticipated rate is faster.
2) For those of you datamining, datamining won't tell the whole story on any of this because the XP from monsters changed.
3) XP from monsters has gone up in Anticipated 2.0 because between NV going away and the monster density being lower than the 1.0.8 numbers we want to make sure players who track their XP/hour don't suddenly see a huge drop.
4) When we transition accounts from live to 2.0 when the patch hits, we don't just add up all your paragon levels. We take the total amount of XP you've earned over all the characters on your account, and use that sum to map you onto a paragon level on the new curve.
5) When Nevalistis said Paragon leveling is approximately six times faster this refers purely to PTR and Anticipated 2.0. This is because PTR rates were disproportionately slow. It was taking 60+ hours to earn some of those higher paragon levels, and "six times faster" means it that might be 10 now. Note that this has nothing to do with live.
6) It's hard to compare rates directly between Live, PTR, and Anticipated 2.0 because at the end of the day, Live stops at 100 and PTR/Anticipated 2.0 go forever. I think at the end of the day if you're trying to "be efficient with your time", the important thing to remember is #4 - we don't look at raw levels - we look at your total experience earned, and map that appropriately.°
