Higher level = less arena experience?

[Sersemina]

I noticed today that at level 396 I get less arena experience compared to level 395. It used to increase with every level, but I have no idea what happened this time. Nothing changed between the two levels - same items, same game version (v1014). Do you happen to know why that is?

yep and it keeps going down. At lvl 424 I get 470,588 exp per arena win.

Thanks, bobo! And have you noticed if the average experience from quests also drops after level 400?

exp from quests
exp from fortress's academy
exp for guild battles

I haven't really paid attention to quest exp. it could be lower but I would say if it has dropped it hasn't dropped enough to effect how long it takes to level.

The "exp drop" was turned off from level 326 until 399.

It came back at level 400. That is why you have seen the exp drop. It should build back up until you hit lvl 425, and then it will happen again.

I believe they turned off all exp drops at least the big ones every 25, 50, 75, 00. when they added pets.

I'll have to ask Leander because I don't remember seeing that.

I remember when they said from 326 to 399 there would be no drops, but they would start up again at lvl 400.

Okay, this was posted on March 10th of this year:

"Moreover, we will rework the XP mechanics soon. High-level players have to fight their way through slow areas with level brakes, with less XP than before (on lower levels). The mechanics are not that well designed and are frustrating for a lot of players. Therefore, we will rethink and rework them."

I looked through all the updates and patches posted after that and have found nothing that says the exp drops were removed.

I sent Leander a mail and asked him about it. If I missed something this huge, removing the exp drops every 25 levels, well ... that's not a good thing.

If it was only posted on a German forum, that's not cool either, as it leaves the rest of us out of the loop.

Hopefully Leander will either post here or I will relay his reply.

**Well, here is my update. Leander doesn't know. Playa doesn't put the info out, but apparently it's now easier for people to level up and we have no clue if there is an exp drop any longer or not. I guess they don't want us to know the details of exactly how experience works for our characters.
