talent category points

[martinuzz]

At which levels does the character gain those, again?
I just reached level 40, and was surprised to find out that I didn't get a talent category point.
I still had one, saved up since I reached level 30 because I couldn't decide where to put it, but I've still got only 1, after reaching level 40.
Is that normal, or should I report a bug?

I cannot remember exactly where it says it, but you get category points at 10, 20 and 30... so not 40 or 50.

In the talent screen IIRC

Note: thre is an ingame high level way to gain one more point, around level 40/45

While we are at it, can we have level cap raised a little? Say 60?
It mostly psychological, I myself usually losing interest then approach level cap....
It can be even with exp penalty...

I think potentially with all of the added bosses there is too much experience to be had in the game now. As more get added with new starting areas and zones it's likely we'll need a rebalance of xp gains.

[darkgod]

A slight reduction of exp/boss should do the trick if needed.

As for lvl 60, why ? so you can feel depressed when nearing lvl 60 instead of 50 ? (and more levels = more stats/talents which the game is not designed around)

Could you remove the level cap and just make levels past 50 not do anything? Would be cool to see just how much XP you've hoarded, as a measure of score etc.

No, the level cap is there for a LOT of reasons. You can easily calculate how many 'fake levels' you would get with the xp totals you achieve after lvl 50 - the actual point scaling is pretty easy to see.

Though, I'm still wondering why we don't get cat points up to 50 - it makes me not really look foreward to unique little tricks I could pull after lvl 30 if I could continue to get category points.

[Stormlock]

What other reason could there be for the level cap besides 'makes the player too strong'? Cause just making (level > 50) = 50 everywhere but the display would fix that and any level scaling issues. Is there some massive ragefest over players reaching uneven numbers over 50?
