Baldur 0 Posted January 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I was trying to avoid doing work, so I made this. No purpose, I just wanted to visually see the progression (and see just what that level 7-8 nightmare looks like) So without further ado, here is level 1-30 Link to post Share on other sites
___ 0 Posted January 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I had a text copy that I made on my phone with the gaps and the 188 post peak threw me off the first time. Thought I had mathed wrong, but boy oh boy, I'm about to have to overcome that hurdle. Just gotta get to Level 10... Link to post Share on other sites
Mari 1 Posted January 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ahahaha, that is a pretty nifty graphic there! Link to post Share on other sites
Mari 1 Posted January 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Gotta be a nice little hurdle somewhere! AHahaha Link to post Share on other sites
Rebekah 0 Posted January 29, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2015 That is a nice graphic, I almost forgotten about that dreaded level 7--> 8 grind. Don't worry, it gets way easier after level 11 again :) Link to post Share on other sites
Life 0 Posted January 29, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Love this xD I remember pumping out post after post to get through the 7-10 nightmare. Though it didnt seem so bad at the time tbh, mainly because i wasn't aware of just how big the gap was :P Link to post Share on other sites
Crozeph 0 Posted January 29, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2015 ahh I'm so glad my level 7-8 nightmare has ended by looking at this graph, I'm excited on more nightmare levels to come Link to post Share on other sites
Baldur 0 Posted January 29, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted January 29, 2015 why the hell is everything else consistent but 7-8 Through a little bit of research into looking at the furthest back these forums go, I would assume that people started to hit level 7 and at the time didn't know how many posts were required to get any higher. The management at that time probably through out some higher numbers in order to slow things down and make them take longer :P the graph then averages out because they probably sat down and really thought about it, but didn't go back and change the existing numbers. I wasn't here then, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. I was surprised when I saw this. I knew it was pretty huge, but the graphic just really shows it in a way numbers alone can't :) Link to post Share on other sites
Baldur 0 Posted January 29, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I had a text copy that I made on my phone with the gaps and the 188 post peak threw me off the first time. Thought I had mathed wrong, but boy oh boy, I'm about to have to overcome that hurdle. Just gotta get to Level 10... What's really scarey is that going from 7-8 is almost exactly as many posts as it takes to get from level 1 to level 7. It's enough to get you from level 8 to level 10. And beyond that, it's about 4 levels anywhere after that. Link to post Share on other sites

Baldur 0 Posted February 13, 2015 Author #18 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I didn't want to side track the other thread about weapon tiers. So I came up with some interesting results. You'll probably want to download the image, or just look at the pretty lines. The blue lines are the current posts per level. The thin black line is the adjusted average of our current system. The red line is what I would propose. The biggest steeper ramp ends at level 10, where the slope then matches the higher levels, basically cutting out the peaks and valleys. This would really affect those going through the low levels, though almost everyone would receive a bump. Currently: Level 6 is 93 posts Level 7 is 184 posts Level 8 is 372 posts Level 9 is 469 posts Level 10 is 568 posts and then it normalizes for a while. Under a revised, more consistent scale. The first 5 levels are more difficult, but consistent (each level requires 5 more posts than the last). They meet at level 6, which require about 100 posts. However: level 7 only becomes 137 level 8 only becomes 177 level 9 becomes 222 Level 10 becomes 270 This would put people currently 7 up into the 8 to 12 range People currently level 8 would go up into the 12 to 14 range level 9s would go into the 14 to 16 range It very quickly normalizes after that.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted February 14, 2015 #19 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Nooo!! don't normalize puberty!!!! it should be difficult, as it was when we all passed it. Keep it!!! As motivation for all them young ones:D //I know you like your statistics and congradulate you, that one course has been like hell to me last year. But it wasn't all for nothing since I can actually understand what those lines represent and your reasoning. BUT: There is no reason for level 7 to be the same as 10 levels anywhere outside of that range :P puberty - it happens whatever we like it or not Link to post Share on other sites
