Will it ever be possible to get to level 100 ?

[SB2]

It's really a very simple thing to get your avatar up to and go beyond 100.....

Just make sure you (and your kids and maybe your grandkids) include the avatar in your wills....

So far who's gotten the closest? There are people in the 90s right?

There are a handful of avatars with well over 100/100
For avatars starting post VU 8.8... ask in about 5yrs.

I actually like it. In "some other game" I can push a character from start to the level cap in a couple of months. I currently have 5 characters at the level cap and I most often run them exemplaring down to to run low level missions with friends still working low level characters. Play is fun at any level, but with having 100+ character slots, running around at level 50 isn't quite the accomplishment that it would be here.

Each step here is an accomplishment. If everyone is running around at level 100 after 2 months, then what is the significance of having a level 100 character?

But his (L) weapon will give less and less skills, so he can probably redo it 500 times before getting to level 100.

your right if you mean all players before the first skill change VU 6 or 7

Are you sure? As I recall (from reading) it was earlier then gold. But I started a few months after gold, so I might very well be wrong. Still I'm not sure you're right, either.

so, you go 50, then 25, then 12.5, then 6.25 etc. You never arrive, but you eventually get close.

Or maybe it's more like the speed of light (a theoretical maximum) or Absolute Zero (a theoretical Minimum). Both exist, but are unobtainable.

I don't think you can make the comparison with what level you are. However this is exactly the way evade, dodge and things like that work. At least the theoretical maximum of dmg/hit is a lot higher then 100 - maybe as high as 1000.

ohh, about ~10 more avg dps for the MKV :P

And more then double the range :P

But your example is too one-sided - the only reason H400 has a higher eco using A106 is that it has a lower base damage. Without and amp, a smaller amp or an amp will bad eco the Mk V will win in pure dmg/pec as well. With an amp that has a lower dmg/pec then the weapon it's put onto, that will actually drag down the average dmg/pec of gun+amp more on the H400 then on the Mk V.

Say for example that the A10x amps become so rare that you have to use an e-amp 13 instead, that will pull down the eco of the Korss more then it does on the higher-dmg Mk V.

Possible yes. A few is close to it I guess. But it's either very expensive ($1M USD+ for all combat skills?) or will take 10+ years manual work. The ones that today are the highest skilled players are the ones that either played 6 years, or the ones that have phat VISA's.

I do agree to some posts that suggest that level 100 is not for everyone. And I think that is true. It is supposed to be hard to get high level. Personally I'd say the skill progress slowness is perfect. Hell I even think it's waaaay to easy to even get to 5.000 in a combat skill. I even wish MA took away skill chip again like it was back when I started. So you actually have to PLAY to gain skills. Too many 39 agility newbie-ubers today.

I don't get what you mena here.... unless you meant he got the 50pedd TT in SIb period only.

I have seen no eveidence to support that (L) give less skills than unl for the same decay and ammo

Come to think of it, i've not seen any evidence that using amps give skill due to decay, or whether decay of weapon/ ammo used is linearly related to TT skill gain.

Edit: btw i think m0000 used korss religiously and hit commando in 23 months maybe he cares to comment

Well, I'm not sure if Star is the most skilled in theese lvl's or if Neo, Skalman and VVV or some of them even is more skilled than he is, but here is a pic he posted some time ago:

Already at lvl 110 as you can see, so I think this ends the entire thread.. Yeah, someone will reach lvl 100, and it's already done

Starman and Stryker both way over, i guess Jor and other DR members, Stormer(not 100% on this), Buck Stone. Dan Petrov too. Anyone who got in a good amount of skilling and chipping before 8.8.
