Level Cap Increasing/Stat Improvement

Ok, I believe the level cap will eventually reach 100 or above, therefore, I have an idea over stuff that adds because of it.

First: Level 90, Gear 13 - 2nd Gold Ring, 7 Dot Mods, 8* - 150 Shards, Ability Level 9 - Delta Materials - Blue

Second: Level 95, Gear 14 - 3rd Gold Ring, 8 Dot Mods, 9* - 250 Shards

Third: Level 100, Gear 15 - Red Ring - Requires 8 pieces of gear, 10 Dot Mods, 10* - 370 Shards, Ability Level 10 - Alpha Materials - Red

Adding a new mode for Max Level players (100): Onslaught - Face wave after wave of enemies with each wave becoming stronger and stronger. You can use one team of characters to get as far as you can, and the rewards will increase as the waves become stronger. Attempts = 5 per day.

What are your guys' comments about this? I think it would be cool to have this stuff added.

I posted this in General because it covers a lot of stuff.

    No, 10% more than the last usually means 100 for level 1, 110 for level 2, 120 for level 3, 130 for level 4. This is not exponential growth and is represented by a line on a graph, not a curve.

    No. No, you fail. At math and at English.

    10% more than the last does not mean that at all.

    10% more than the last means that 10% is referencing the previous level.

    So. Let's say going from level 1 to level 2 takes 100 XP.

    Now, going from level 2 to level 3 takes 10% more XP than the last level. The last level took 100 XP, so this one takes 10% more, or 110 XP.

    Go from level 3 to 4 takes 10% more than THE LAST LEVEL. Which was going from 2 to 3. Which was 110. So going from level 3 to 4 takes 121 XP.

    Andy even gave a table clarifying what they were talking about: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/comment/1580050/#Comment_1580050

    It's exponential growth.

    10% more than the last is a phrase for how much of an increase there is, not a reset of what 100% is. It means each level increases by the same amount of needed xp, and could be done with addition instead of multiplication. That is why the term compounded exists.

    If it seems differently to you, then I'm sorry, but that's not what the common usage is, nor the technical one.

    EDIT: you're right. He did show math that was exponential. I was simply going off of what he described with his words, and 10% more than the last is not exponential unless it says compounded too.
  • To be really mathematically feasible, the compounding must also be given as a rate. Like interest in a bank could be compounded monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on the type of account you have.

    Luckily we can simplify the terminology on this topic since the rate is every level. But, speaking about terminology here, without the term compounded or some word like resetting, one should assume that the 100% remains static.

    Just adding "than the last" to "10% more" doesn't change it's meaning. It's just telling us what it's 10% more than, not what represents 100%.
