Good point - thank you! I've updated the OP. I still hope this thread is helpful in clarifying to those that the current rate of exp gained hasn't been modified, and that the experience bar will more than likely still represent the exp required to gain 1 skill point. I know many people in game...

I'd recommend reading the OP fully as I'm not suggesting this is what it should be, more so this is what it is likely currently and that beta isn't reflective of what the skill rate will be :) You're not wrong and I believe there's a fine balance underneath it all that when done right, can...

This wasn't evaluating clade gifts. It's very possible that they are set to 100x. I've identified that the experience bar for levelup a normal skill is the true representation of the exp required to reach the next level and from testing, was able to identify that all they've done to make...

This appears to be the intention, with the action skill system giving flavour to your build via subtle buffs/bonuses etc. So long as they remain subtle with only minor bonuses through the levels, should be a non issue for PvP viability, leaving the players mechanical skill to be the deciding factor.

Don't get me wrong, I realise these issues you're describing exist, however, they are a result of an unfinished product and a alpha/beta period. I sincerely hope you're taking this into account because right now, the game isn't meant to be played in the way you're describing. It's essentially a...

And therefore a while to respec out of skills and learn new ones over the course of you playing the character. Agreed. Also adds to the labour required to level multiple accounts which is another positive to disincentivizing multi accounts.

Okay. I couldn't make a call yet on what the implications might be for balance vs grind when it comes to combat skills. I guess so long as the majority of the benefit from these skills are felt early-mid level cap (assuming they're following an exponential exp scale) then it "might" be okay. Who...

We do need to allow them to finish this system given they've said on numerous occasions its not complete and due to the nature of the current test, I doubt this is high up their priority list. Before persistent though, most definitely.

This might be why it's been said that 70 is typically the max effectiveness for every stat and everything above 70 just progresses toward flair/cosmetic changes and additional durability value. Henrik said at 100 you get a chance to craft legendary items that have your name engraved etc.

EDIT: I stand corrected! It is still 100x faster but instead of us receiving 100x more exp amount for an action in game and leveling up via the exp bars, they've kept the amount of exp per action the same and just moved the goal posts closer to make it 100x faster to reach max level. This is...

I don't think the actual leveling is as fast as we think. Further testing suggest that the x100 speed isn't currently affecting exp gains. The exp bar against each skill is the exp you will need to gain 1 level. Right now this isn't functioning but the exp gains are the same rate as they will be...

Keeps have more impact given its more accessible to more players when playing in groups so I doubt keeps would come second to houses.

Added the following to the OP:

Hmm did some further testing and watching the exp bar as I hit stuff which makes me think the exp bar is skuffed. Tooltip reads "Your current exp and how much you need to reach the next level" but I'm not even maxing my exp bar and I'm gaining levels so yea. Something is totally skuffed 🤷 or the...

In any business, cash flow is king. Giving your customers the option to not continue to pay for your continued services especially due to the niche nature of the game, is financial suicide. This would only make senses in a game where there isn't ongoing costs e.g: - No servers - No regular...

That's a completely different issue entirely. You're now deflecting from your argument in that you've already ascertained how fast leveling will be, which was justifying your point that players won't be "known" for anything and that the skill cap system is bad. What I've provided you is evidence...

TBH, this sounds pretty good so long as adjusting the values of Damage, Mana Cost, Speed of cast, Mats requirements etc. are all tied to one another. E.g. increasing damage will always increase mana cost or decreasing speed of cast will always decrease damage etc. Great idea!

Here's my workings in game with something I can easily test which in my case is swords. So at 100x exp rate when leveling up "swords" without reading, per hit I'm getting 9 exp. Assuming this isn't showing the decimal exp or partial exp points due to this increase so lets assuming one hit with...

The other problem is that guilds that are able to stockpile the most resources at persistent launch are now going to be able to insta claim keeps when they are eventually added instead of it being a race from day 1 of persistance to protect farm spots etc.

Given we're currently at x100 speed gain across the board, on what basis are you determining that maxing out your character will be doable in 2 months?
