Bug no nível 72 / Bug at level 72

[grave finch]

Eu quero resolver este problema para avançar este nível para 73 no futuro e isto não dá / I want to solve this problem to advance this level to 73 in the future, but it's not working.

[hardy heart]

I see no bug here

[hard gyro]

I had the same upon loading the new update today. All progress towards the next level has been wiped - I was about half way towards a new level (73), but it started back at zero on L72 with the new update.
I see another post below covering the same thing https://discord.com/channels/488478892873744385/1461460512976932934

this isnt a bug and is a consequence of the lvl 70 fix

the fix to lvl 70 pushed all exp requirements post lvl 70 higher than they used to be

so its possible for someone to have less exp than the new exp requirement of the level they are already at

[hard gyro]

Where can I read or find out more about this? I still don't fully get what you mean.

[lost flare]

for some actual numbers: before the update you needed 2.76e263 to get to level 72, but now you need 3.1e278

[lost flare]

the devs havent explained this, but we knew what the fix would do to the formula so we could calculate the new rates

i have a desmos graph that shows the differences more if you want to look at that, but the general idea is it now takes more exp to get the same levels

[hard gyro]

Who, is 'we' in this, and how do players stay similarly up to date?
I will try to monitor wherever records this, as I obviously didn't know, and neither did the other two players already querying the issue as a bug today.
Thanks for your assistance.

[lost flare]

np! we is me and some people who had seen the lvl 70 bug who wanted more info abt it, but all the data and graphs and stuff are unofficially made

[hard gyro]

OK, so not generally released.
Thanks so much for your patience and time today. Best wishes.

I am about to reach 72. If I don't update the game now until after I get to 72, would it take me back to 71?

[lost flare]

no your level is only updated when you click on the level up icon, but if you did update itd take you longer to reach 72

(if you updated before reaching 72)

[coarse blade]

No, you will stay at your level but leveling to the next probably takes longer.

[iron flicker]

Oh my... No running away from this, then lol

[lost flare]

yeah lol, i dont think you gain anything from leveling up (besides the bigger number) so really do whatever

[iron flicker]

So which one is more reasonable? Updating now or after I get to 72?

[lost flare]

updating will make the entropy time chambers way better, so if youve already spent a while in the run it might be good to update

[coarse blade]

You get one research chip to spend. A bit earlier then.

[lost flare]

true

[iron flicker]

I am about %85 in 71. So little to 72.

[lost flare]

on this alone i went from like 3/4 65 to 1/4 66

[iron flicker]

Then I will wait to get 72 before updating the game.

[lost flare]

(lvls prior to 70 arent effect but the bug the thred is about)

[kind beacon]

This happened to me as well

[fickle bolt]

i got the same here, from 72 ~9/10 to 72 ~1/4... but indeed I remember I strangely gained 2 levels few weeks ago

[kind beacon]

A little annoying in terms of unlocking, whatever unlocks the higher levels but it’s just time so no big deal

[vast hazel]

I am confirming there is no bug. Your XP is unchanged, what did change is the XP ranges for 70s levels, which got raised. Naturally, when the XP needed is 10000x (or whatever) higher, you won’t see any visual indicator from your existing XP, which will now be a microscopic % of progress towards the next RL.

[kind beacon]

Got it... are there Dev Notes or anything similar which discuss why the goal posts were moved? Also... just doing some basic math the increase was not about 10000x (e5x more) is was 1,000,000,000,000x (e13x more) which is a bit extreme for a silent change IMHO. Just seems a little rude... apologies if it was posted in News or something and I missed it.

[vast hazel]

Idk about the dev notes, I'm not aware of those. The change depends on your level. Tescoo made a graph, which I am reposting the link to, here:

[kind beacon]

If my math is right it will take me roughly e19 days to get to L73 at current rate... so need to look at what increased the Research Rate

[vast hazel]

I would need about 32000 years at the old rate.. no point in looking at the new 😆

[kind beacon]

Makes the change a bit of a Head Scratcher

[vast hazel]

Yeah, Idk what they were thinking either. Perhaps a future update will add clarity? Hope so.

[lost flare]

i don't think the devs were being actively malicious or ignorant, because from their perspective it's changing the number 70 to 69 in a single line

[plush jewel]

In the latest update (version 43.04), we fixed Research Level upgrades skipping from level 69 directly to level 71.

We adjusted the Research Level curve to account for the skipped level. After updating, players above level 70 will notice a one-time adjustment to their level, after which levels will advance correctly again. Thank you to everyone who reported this issue.

[vast hazel]

What is the rationale/logic about raising XP requirements for Research Levels at 71+? What is the goal?

[lost flare]

there is none because it was a bug people had lower xp reqs, the actual bug was how the xp used to be, and the update made it correct

[vast hazel]

That's not what your graph shows. Is it incorrect?

[lost flare]

no like the way it used to be was broken (and happenstance easier)

[vast hazel]

oh. alright then!

[scenic terrace]

I'm on Level 72 for weeks now and there is no visible approach to 73. It just stopped... Bug or Feature?
