Will it ever be possible to get to level 100 ?

[Sloe]

I've personally scanned a few 150+ prof avatars, but my guess is they were all people from the early days, or ppl who chipped enough to support a small community.

I wonder if jenna's ever gonna break 1k health,

Doesn't Jena have 121 lv at laser sniper and above lv 100 at blp sniper, laser pistoler and blp pistoler

be realistic, the answer is no.

the real truth is (from a test made by players some months ago), you get ~25 levels of main weapon skill when around 6k levels which equals a 10 ped tt chip roughly. the turnover on a weapon used during that is around 3.5k ped. if you get to 10k levels, it is around 1 level gain per same amount burnt. a simple math will show, how many such 3.5k ped trips must be done to get there and how long it'll take depending on a weapons pec/sec. I don't remember the numbers even approximately, so if anyone wishes, put the numbers up here. but yes, it is probably more than 5 years for majority, rather 10-20.

optimists say yes, but they are mostly hiding themselves from reality. only a selected few with enough time or wallet in hands will get to 10/10. 99% of the rest may just dream on/off.

To do that i think would take the entire skillbase of EU

i'm sure i will be proved wrong in a few moments with figures ...

It is not possible because it takes 10-20 years (as you say...)?

If you calculate 100years to get there I would agree that it isn´t possible... or I would doubt your calculation (not sure yet...)...

well i play a little over 3 years and yes i am over 100 hit(99 damage)

in a little over 3 years so yes it can be done but a lot of skills are from pre nerf

when i use 300 peds ammo i still gain over 0.01 in my hit standing

some uber avatars i know also use hot seat tactics

i mean when they sleep they let the mrs play

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

My point was that a lower dmg gun will bring in less skills as your skills get really high. Yes you can get commando with a Korss. Commando is level 70, far from 100. No doubt someone will reach lvl 100 using the not-designed-for-high-level weapons (such as Korss) but it'll take a whole lot more work then if you used an MM or similar - even if it takes an age to reach it using MM and then some.

If you don't belive me on higher skills with lower level weapon = less skillgains - then try using an opalo and see how quickly you gain skills compared to a newbie.

Which is actually allowed - Mindark said themselves they wont stop you from lending your account to someone. Only it's on your own head if you do give away your login info.

So in theory you could get a gang of 4-5 people together from around the world and skill non-stop 24/7. Where you're going to find these people and what you're going to give them in return of skilling fot you - I don't know.

Yes... that's new_TT_skill=(decay+ammo)*time*randomizer+TT_skill

Decay+ammo burn is higher. Ofc you will skill faster.

Think in terms of TT_value, not in terms of nominal skill. MA could have made it simple by having unlocks at a TT_skill rather than those nominal values that are already convoluted. Not sure why they didn't

If you and a noob use opalo, you will gain the same value in TT_skill for the same usage - your nominal skills will be different though. Where SIb steps in i don't know.

you see, I personally find it more interesting to play diablo2 or crysis from time to time because PE has turned freaking boring. with current system as it is, even if shinier pixels appear, I will not stay for 10-20 years, never! am I the only one thinking like that?

moreover, important factors aswell - not everyone has thousands to spend on a game over and over again, nor does majority have 10 hours a day to spend and not everyone can afford a piece of weapon which gives skills faster (as in high pec/sec burn with acceptable eco). I wouldn't call opalo or korss hunts for the next tens of years to come much fun... this is why I said it's 99% sure that a player will not get there. so again, better forget it. =)
