PC Late game progression

The developers were actually of a mind to have the level cap be lower than the amount needed to get everything. They relented after listening to players who said, "Even if it takes a loooooooong to time to get everything we still want to be able to get everything and with it taking so long it will be the same as having a level cap for 90% of the player base who won't want to invest the time needed to get everything."
So that's what they did. If they decide to make a change to the current late game progression it is more likely to go back to a lower level cap than it is to make it easier to get everything even sooner. Of course, through modding you can change it to however you want.

Thanks Roland for letting us know about the developers intentions about the level progression.

So I asume 17.1 will have a significantly lower average XP gain? Otherwise just lowering the level cap wouldn't make much sense, as it would only be removing the 'bragging rights' of those 10% that really want to play one the same world for a looong time and for everybody else it would be the same as now?

 
I don’t think they changed or will change the level cap at all. I think they are fine with it the way it is. You can be a completionist but it is going to take a long time to do so is their current intention.

 
It crossed my mind as well that this might be by design - though I never read about this being the intention of the higher level limit. It rather sounded like maxing out a character and getting all perks was achievable with enough time investment.

It is achievable without modding the game.

How useful that is to a player is another topic entirely.

Probably not in Alpha, but once the game goes gold and I've got a really long game time to look forward to, I expect I'll play at least one game right out to max level and get every perk, at least do it once.

 
YOu are so strong with arround lvl 120 that you dont really need much more perks.

This.

Once you are leveling beyond ~120 to 150 you are not really thinking about improving your character any more, but just increasing the gamestage to see if you are up to the challenge.

Can confirm. I'm around level 170 right now and I literally run around punching radiated zombies at night. I hardly perked into the health tree either.

According to Wolfram alpha it is 67878 zombie kills at 800 XP average - I hope if anybody makes it there (without abusing bugs) he will post a screenshot of his stat screen :)

ok, back to the game to get that other 63000 - ah wait there's A17.1 around the corner - I'll try some other time ;)
