EPL and level cap at 30.

[Jsbeer]

I came back to DDO not long ago and have just done my first EPL. Right now it took about 7.5 million XP worth since XP cap is 6.6 and farming the 42 Heart Seeds took (gave?) me another 0.8 million XP. However, if the level cap goes to 30 I am guessing we will need ~10 million XP to get to cap which means about 40-50% increase in the XP required for an EPL. Am I (hopefully) missing anything here?

Don't worry, people who focus on TRing to get that +3PRR usually have no skills. It won't make much difference if it takes a little more XP for an EPL.

the Dev's have stated and implied that they haven't decided what the xp curve will be from 28-30

[Deadlock]

If the devs follow the same line with TRing as when the bar was first raised from 20 to 25, then you can still ETR/ITR at 28, even if the bar is raised for 29 to 30.

They won't follow the current arithmetic progression to 29 and 30 unless there's a very deliberate statement made that 29 and 30 is for the self-proclaimed "end game" players, leaving the HTR, ETR and ITR players to do their own thing at 20 and 28.

If nothing else, it will give us a bit of peace and quiet for a while from people whining that there's nothing for them to do at "end game".

I don't believe they've said but I'm guessing they'll leave the required level to ETR at 28. That's what players probably want.

They should just simplify it and say "You can ER with 6 million Karma".

But they will probably need to come up with some additional carrots to drive people up to level 30 if they allow people to ER before then.

They haven't said anything with certainty yet. I would definitely try and get those past lifes now rather than waiting to see what happens. Turbine's typical approach is to make things hard and then after sufficient complaining (1 year or so) they make it a little less grindy.

The higher xp to 30 will potentially eliminate the easy button path to completionist - 12 iconic lifes. With one ITR per week you can have completionist in 12 weeks followed by one ETR per week to get epic completionist in the next 12 weeks.

I think the only Official quote was something made at the time of the heroic xp curve adjustments (remember that?) and it was basically we are not reviewing the epic xp curve at this time, but we might do so later on.

A not giving any promises type of statement.

While on the Player's Council last year, I posted plenty about this upcoming situation, along with many suggestions.

I suspect when level 30 rolls around we will find out.

And even if a past group of Devs had said something (which they never did) the current Devs ought to do whatever seems best anyway...
