My barb is lvl 50 and really needs more points :/ Maybe you increase level cap to 55 or 60 so there is enough power points?

[Mattdoesrock]

Do you have any idea how much xp is needed for level 60?

You do not want to know.

Level advancement beyond level cap is something that is being considered but let's discuss that after the current balance stage, shall we?

A huge NO

I think adding 2 or 3 more points for 50's would be a far better, simpler and more elegant solution than coming up with new 50+ armor, weapons, items, etc. and ostracizing countless 50's who have had enough grinding already.

I know you want to consider it later, but I'd rather be short two or three power points as it is now than have to grind another 2-4million exp.

Please, I wouldn't even consider it, as it would be the best way to alienate most of the veteran 50's out there if not those close to 50 only to see their "finish line" extended exponentially from where it was.

1 point per level from 5 to 39
2 points per level from 40 to 45
3 points per level from 46 to 49
6 points for reaching 50

So those points you need are out there. You just need to level up!

so, are high levels more powerful respect low levels now?

Just a recommendation. you should specialize more in terms of weapon disciplines

Some of the best knights in the game build setups around switching weapons. Its actually a disadvantage in most situations to only specialize in one weapon tree.

Please don't be so naive. We would not try something like this if we didn't truly think that it's for the best.
We cannot continue building a game that's based on such conceptual errors.

You want us to balance something that's impossible to balance by design.

What about reworking attributes design like Int increasing mage's magic resistance and others cannot counter this anyhow?

Warlock 73 pp - By far the easiest out of my three classes, i can get what i want easily, certainly feel like i get more out this than the old system.
Despite needing more points in silence lvl 4 instead of lvl 2 and leveling mind push that usually have at lvl 1 to lvl 4.
This class have some insignificant passives skill, more power points for great spells i guess.

Marksman 65 pp - Quite easy, no problems at all to get the setup i like.
It feels at least equal or slight better then with the old system.
I could easily free up some more points from fairly useless passives if want to get some more attack.

Barbarian 65 pp - This is the toughest class of my three to setup, i had to make some real sacrifices something my other classes setups didnt require.
It feel like this change will affect my barb negatively, but only to some extent.


There is also a bug on amun, giving me extra power points after i setup, log out and log back in.

Im not going to make any new character, but out of curiosity how will you handle this?
