Stat squish confirmed: How will unsynced old content be handled?

[Hycinthus]

Not quite.

It'll be more like

Level 50 - HP 100, Damage 10
Level 60 - HP 125, Damage 12
Level 70 - HP 155, Damage 15

as opposed to the current

Level 50 - HP 100, Damage 10
Level 60 - HP 200, Damage 20
Level 70 - HP 400, Damage 40

If the problem was HP was getting too large and text too long and causing bugs, why are they doing the squish in this way? Why not just a solid across the board eliminate 3 zero decimal points? Or did I misunderstand what the issue was?

That would also be my question. Why this convoluted system of squishing stats from 51-80, only to normalize them again for the last 10 levels? They could've just squished the entire game down from 1-90 and have a more consistent increase, maybe from 1-80 and then have a slightly bigger increase for the last 10 if they want to give players a bigger sense of progression.

I think the problem is that you can't do that at the lower end of the scale.

It's a distant memory for a lot of players, but at low levels you only have three or four digits of HP and attacks are likewise only doing a few hundred damage. They simply can't be divided by 1000 at that stage, so they have to be left relatively alone while the work gets done higher up.
