im at 1120 points right now, so 29 a day. I probably play way to much, sure. At the current rate, it would take me over a year to max out.

I'm at 600, I've been prestiging alot, and leveling up new characters for synergies. I'm pretty far behind at this point.

I am at 600 as well for the same exact reasons. And I play much more than your normal average joe. There is an unemployed guy in my SG that plays pretty much 15 hours a day and he only has like 1700.

I'm at like 70, but I was burned out pretty hard when Omega first came out and I've been leveling a lot of toons rather than playing my 60s.

I'm still having a hard time processing that they can double the xp required for Omegas, and then push the goal posts on cosmics (and other terms?) further back so that only characters with higher OPs can do them with any kind of speed or efficiency.

We still haven't managed to touch on the fact that under 2500 points is "meh, doesn't matter if you spend them or not" now that they actively beat the fuck out of nodes that see alot of use.

Yeah I'm around 600 iirc, which I guess would be fine if a) I didn't play like 12+hours a day for almost a month b) I didn't play mostly during events that had permanent xp buffs running and I have a bunch of synergies. They said they're balancing around "no boost", which is even a more ridiculous statement since that's like less than half of what most people get(you get 75% from having 5chars at 60 and 25% from boons if you still have them, as a baseline). I don't feel it's that slow but their statements are complete bullshit and the reasoning for double the rate is purely because of outlying cases, not because of the casual gamers, or their target isn't 1year but more like 3years or something. They're not happy some guy is gonna get 7500 within a month and a half so they nerfed it for everyone.

They don't just need to revert it though, they need to swing it back almost the same amount in the right direction.

I can't imagine they won't revert this.
Quite honestly, I imagine they'll keep it as is.

If it's true that terminal bosses got their hps/damage increased, then there's no stopping this shitshow from going the distance.

Yeah, I think they screwed up by even messing with it, as common sense should now show that it actually needs to go down quite a bit from what it originally was. Course they might dig in their heels on this, if so, it's another bad decision to go along with few others they've made recently(loot anyone).

Doomsaw posted in the omega forum that xp will probably end up at 22 million per orb. It's in the stickied thread.

That really is way, way too much. There are 7500 fucking points to get. That's 165 billion exp needed. That's an unattainable carrot for 98% of the player base.

Just out of curiosity...would you all be as mad if they just came out and said that most people will never get full omega points? Is the issue that it's unattainable by 98% or is it that they claim a casual gamer will cap it?

unless their player based is much stronger than i think is possible, what they are saying has to be a out and out bs.

what i think they are going to do, is to make it where grinding isn't the preferred method of gaining them, but doing events and mini games.
