Mordron Core - Buffs beyond 15!

[balmy kite]

So i was using idle combos, and noticed that the game is still collecting XP data for Mordron cores, past level 15, and it isn’t just a matter of XP= 100/10 with overflow, no, it is returning data showing the game recognized my core is level 37, not 15.

I don’t like that, you’re already collecting the data and storing it for whatever reason on a capped core, so might as well let us actually benefit and use that data. Why not add a small prestige bar in the Mordron UI, and every level offers a 1.01 increase to Mordron flow.

This would actually give value to Nordom as a champion, which a lot of players have never even used to unlocked due to his lacking utility.

The game stores xp beyond level 15, but there are no levels beyond 15. Idle Combos extropolates as if there were levels beyond 15 that increase at the same rate, but there are no official levels past 15.

It’s still collecting the XP, and bothers to remember it.

It would be more work to mechanically cap the exp. Making excess exp do something would heavily affect the balance of modron core piping and would likely require a rebalance of all flow-related mechanics.

Then since it isn’t capped, just have the Mordron core keep leveling instead of capping at 15 and make it take more exp than the first 15 levels to keep leveling and keep rewarding some chests for it. Something. Anything. It’s too easy to cap and there’s only so many cores you can buy

That might be fine - but it's also not like an exp counter you can't even see is hurting you in any way unless you're extremely OCD, and devs shouldn't be designing their games around OCD tendencies...

There's no harm in suggesting that modron cores to keep levelling after hitting 15, but there's no need to preface that suggestion with a motive like this.

True, that isn’t shown in game, it’s my fault for noticing it via idle combos. If it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t even notice it in the first place. But def OCD triggering. I don’t think my motive is wrong though

[charred moss]

It's not wrong as much as it is distracting - it makes it seem like your entire suggestion is based on the fact that the system currently triggers your OCD (and to be blunt, that is a bad reason to change something). Your follow-up about giving more use to Nordom and more Modron Component chests is much better, but it's all the way at the end of your post and thus feels secondary to readers.
