Lazer Gaming Mouse: High time to open level cap to 70 in Mafia Wars 2

High time to open level cap to 70 in Mafia Wars 2
Mafia wars just raised the cap to 70! I just gained 3 levels by reloading my browser and got 5 Gold Bars as well. Also lso noticed that the level requirements have been significantly reduced. Going from 57 to 58 was previously over 20k experience. Now it's only 5,820.

I never saw 5 gold bars for the inconvenience... i sincerely think that it is extremely unfair that some people get 5 free gold bars and that others don't.. I am with you all on that, I went from being able to get a good kill streak going to getting my butt handed to me constantly, all since this "update". No gold for me either. i was level 53, kicking the asses of other people around my level... and then the game upgraded... I went from 53 to 57 and level 51 people started kicking in level 51 players.

I only gained half a level (47) but I only need about 2k XP to gain another. I don't see how I was given the equivalent of what I was owed if the requirements changed. It took about 10k to go from 45 to 47 but I only gained 1k XP for the difference? And no gold bars for me either...which honestly doesn't bother me as much as the thousands of XP that I've seemed to have lost out on. Oh well, at least the cap is raised so some of my crew that has been at 60 for awhile now might start playing again.

Re: High time to open level cap to 70 in Mafia Wars 2
I even just gained 3 levels doing absolutely nothing, and level 52-53 needs 2740exp to level up.. I can hardly even collect on my turf without leveling up.. Does it just require a lot of exp to go from level 60 to 70 now instead or what is going on..?? I can't find any information about it anywhere, certainly not in the release notes... If it is a bug, it certainly is a big bug.

I went up no extra levels and got no gold bars. It took me at least a week to gain each level from 50 to 58 where I am now, and now everyone else is just jumping levels for free? That’s a bunch of crap. How is it possible i jumped that many levels in less than a day, there must be some game bug, I have an impossible time fighting my rivals since i was level 50 and jumped to 55 for some reason. Anyone know how this happened?

Because the experience requirement was lowered. i assume you had about 10K++ exp at previous level, right? When the exp per level is lowered, your accumulated exp just fill every level that they can and i get it. The opponent is harder at higher level when you only equipped yourself with low level equipments. Either upgrade your gear, or mail to tech support to decrease your level, whichever you prefer.

So yeah, changing the Level Cap changes the Xp needed to level-up. Now, it will be easier for people to level-up in the range of 50-60. It will be harder to level-up from 60-70. With each Level Cap change, there will be a change to the level-up curve. This will make it more interesting and challenging for higher level players to reach the new Level Cap. Keep playing gangsters.

For those of us who gathered the hard-earned XP and have been at level 60 for weeks, we got absolutely nothing, not even the XP we earned at level 60 before the cap was raised. Maybe we are in a minority being that level & the game studio thinks we can be sacrificed, but it is certainly unfair to adjust everyone else's levels with the xp adjustment but not do a thing for us. I just got to level 61 and the XP needed is just over 22,000 to get to 62 which is not much lower than what it took to level up in the 50's. The only break we got was a dip in the XP needed to get to 61 of about 5 to 6 thousand. It certainly would be interesting to know exactly how much XP we would have gotten from the adjustment had we not been level 60. I expect it would be tens of thousands easily.
