Idea for more skill point reward increase based on level

Post by Mino »

Just thought of this while on another topic.
Since we get a skill point every 4 levels, and there are lots of enticing skills, with possibly more being added, just being able to get all the skills we want would require a lot of grinding and leveling up, which some players don't want to do because they don't want to get too powerful and be less challenged by the game (obviously I'm not one of those players :D but I have seen some who try not to go too far).

So what if the skill points were rewarded more frequently, the higher up you get.
Example: levels 4-100 - 1 skill point every 4 levels
level 102-300 - 1 skill point every 2 levels (or 2 every 4 levels)
level 301+ - 1 skill point every level (or 4 every 4 levels)

That way, the skill points would sort of be based more on the actual amount of XP you gain than just what level you reach and it would probably still take more time for a level 100+ player to get a skill point than someone at level 5, and I haven't done the math, but I doubt it would take less time.

Edit: the example levels above are just a suggestion. It should be based on whatever level a player could reasonably expect to reach completing all available quests. So if that could happen at level 50, then the reward should increase from each level up starting with level 52. But if every monster added in the next update is tougher than before (which has been the pattern so far), level 100 might be about right by the time the game is complete.

Along with all those new skills should come with expanded opportunities to rack up the necessary levels without having to resort to ”grinding” levels. And if you still have skills left unearned when you have completed all the available quests and killed every available boss, well then, you still have to make choices in your build...

I agree with the extra skill points I'm currently at Lvl 45 and I've only got 11 total skill points maybe make it were from 4-52 is 1 skill point
53-104 can b 2 skill points and so on and so on like every 50 lvls u gain a skill point.... or make a skill to increase amount of skill points

@Mino,
This is an excellent idea and it makes a lot of sense too. :)

I've heard some hinting on changes to the skill point system, hope your idea is implemented Mino.
Take a stop by my game thread for some forum fun!!!

Same here, I am far from having the skillset I want and at level 64... the grinding is skullnumbing :-(

-1 IMO this is not a good idea. Current version of AT is designed for level 40-60 character. I do not see any reason to make skillpoints gain easier for overpowered players (like me)...

keep this fact in mind:

most of the new skills will be learned through "Training"
not from gaining XP & Levels...

tragically, i've missed a few meetings recently...
but i'm pretty sure the "Trainers" will be charging the hero gold for his service.

[and lots of it!!!]

so it will behoove you to save gold as well as skill points...

[that is, IF you're saving points for this reason]
