Hello there!

Most of all I hope to not bother too many people with my 1st 'General discussion topic'. I'm at your care ^_^. Well then!
As we read in the Module 3 announcement:
Post-60 Advancement

Once you hit 60, XP that you accumulate will start to provide you with rewards, rather than be lost in a void.

I think it's... COOL idea. But as a semi-hardcore player who was here ever since Open Beta started I do wonder about one very itching question: what about 'lost in a void' exp I earned so far? Well let us be honest: mere clearance on Sharandar and Dread Ring campaigns gives us a massive amount of experience points. In both cases some of my characters have those long in the past now. In fact by a rough counting I guess my main earned along the daily quests and Leadership Profession (long time on 20lvl) at least 6mil+ exp. Also: I'm sure there are people who got way more than that on their characters.

Wasting it would somehow feel a bit unfair to most devoted players :/

I do have a hope it won't be the case as we know that Devs keep some track on exp earned by player characters whole time. We got proof in: "3 Million Players Slain in Neverwinter"news. So if they do have an actual exact data on 'who earned how much exp' they could reward 'past experience lost in a void' (lol, I hear eerie music whenever I type 'lost in a void' :D ). Somehow it feels like a greatest present one could expect for sticking with the game in an active way till now!

But there it is a question: are Devs willing to award experience points 'earned so far' or not?

Any ideas whether they do?

    The problem is the system probably wasn't keeping track of how much XP you have earned since hit 60.

    Aww... but you Still will level new SCA companions. So it won't be truly fair unless you do something like : no exp rewards unless companion you're using is max lvl" or something along those lines. But... would it not be too much of a complex thing? (unnecessarily at that)

    ^this.

    Although newer players will have an easier time getting extra power points, lets just be grateful we're getting this feature. I say there isn't any particular rush to get the extra points anyway.

    moved to preview feedback/general discussion - since all things seen on the preview shard are subject to change, we want to keep these discussions separate from live content threads.

    The system did not track EXP gained after the cap before Module 3 so we will be unable to credit players for experience gained beyond level 60 prior to this update. We had to add a bunch of new things to make this tracking work so we will not be able to change this. Immediately following the launch of Module 3 you will be able to gain progress to your post 60 rewards though!

    Allowing players collect exp lost to the void before module 3 would be silly in any case , a lot of people would just instantly fill their power points and make the entire system pointless , at least for their main and in many cases for alts too.

    Honestly, it shouldn't take into effect. I don't think the servers tracked it all the way back.

    Plus, you realize how much EXP people would get?

    They would pretty much bypass the system and then have nothing to work for (which was the ENTIRE POINT of this rewards system)

    Promote players to KEEP PLAYING.

    You level really quickly. And lets be honest, once you have the powers that you rarely actually use maxed....you are not missing much.

    Now if they want to give us some heroic and/or paragon points you can call me "Leveling Louie" lol!
