New Patch / Leveling Question

[Katrala]

I know that in the new patch the amount required to go from one level to the next is going to be reduced and the amount of xp per quest will be increased.

My question is - when you log into your level 20-60 toon after the patch - how will they calculate current xp?

For example, if you currently have 8,000xp, will you retain 8,000xp for that level, even if it puts you over the next level or will it be based on a percentage - say, you're currently 80% through level 24, so you're still 80% through level 24 after patch (even if it takes actual xp points away?)

My first thought was level 29 twinks - what if they are near the end of the level, but never leave the city, etc. and want to stay level 29. If the new leveling is based on points, will it make them level 30?

That would be hilarious, but I really doubt it. Maybe it's worth someone copying a lowbie over to the PTR to see how it shakes out? I'd offer but I have no toons below 60, except for my lv 1 bank alt..

I think I read that it will be percentage based...which makes sense. Just like you get a rested percentage. (and the xp needed at lv 60 suddenly takes this big jump). So when you are lv 59 and rested for 150% (equivalent of 300 000 xp) and Ding to 60, you will still be rested to the middle of lv 61 (150%) instead of 70% of lv 60 which would be the equivalent of your original 300 000 xp rested

Am I making sense?

Current XP will be calculated as a percentage of the xp required to reach the next level. So if you're 50% of the way to the next level now you will be 50% of the way to the next level after the patch, only with fewer xp. Rested XP is simply proportional to the amount of xp required to level so again, this will remain at the same percentage.

There has been a blue post on this but I can't find it at the moment.

That is correct. I believe it was in the 2.3 patch notes as well.

I could have sworn it was a blue post.
