Need your feedback for Patch 180 starting level

[BaronVonRotterdam]

Hey Guys,

It's looking like we're going to have to reset the stats for Patch 180 because I have like 5 new RPG abilities I made and you'll need points to buy them with. The problem is that on the 179 server you can't really get past level 300 and only have 3000 points available to you. So I need to know, would you guys rather start at level 10 as a "noob" and die in one shot. Or, would you rather start at level 50 and have just enough to be able to hold your own? The only potential downside to starting at level 50 is you reach the end that much faster and the monsters are always at least level 50 in difficulty. Please vote and let me know what you think.

Another option could be to start at level 10 at launch and increase it to starting level 50 later on when the majority has gone past that point.
This if people really want to start at level 10 that is, but to adress the issue of new players joining and them feeling useless when they first come on the server and are forced to leech xp.
At this moment there is no quick and easy fix to adress that issue for new players without screwing up mid and endgame wich is more important.

Your not talking about the 179 server? Because we already had this discussion awhile back.

I added that poll option though its unfair to the people that join after we move it back to 10. I'll have to see if I can even do it in the first place.

I have to look at the efficacy of it, but I might just do a hybrid and make everyone happy. If I can pull it off I'll try to move everyones levels over from 179 (but you'll have to re-spend your points). That will make those who want to keep their levels happy. For those of you who want to start over you can use the reset button to reset your stats. Since the reset poll is neck and neck it's probably best just to do it this way.

if option 4:

10 like 179. but with 20..25...50 points each level up.

btw, health bonus now (180) is expensive.
what is/was reason why its now 1:1 (1 stat-point = 1HB)?
179 was 1:2, only 250 points needed to get full 500hb

We'll still be doing 10 points per level but people will be able to proceed to a much higher level, allowing you to have more points. I also did notice that bug with the health bonus costing double the amount of points, I'll have to look into that.

You kinda mixed it up paint, it's start with 10 and boost it to 50 for new players later on.

HB bug was fixed by joey a while ago so that you dont get twice as many stat points then you actually spend anymore and is working on 180 as intended.
