I have been skilling up on my laser weaponry techonlgy and have reach lvel 430 and have hit what people are calling a wall wher skill gain is very slow. When skilling in the ring i only get aroun 1 level per ped spent on ammo compared to about 10 before. I find this very anoying, is their any reason in MA’s aternal wisdom or is it a money grabbing exercise
Noone forces you to skill in the ring?
and 400-500 still goes pretty fast 
950-100, 1950-2000, … are alot harder 
3k barrier is pretty fun and after that it never speeds up same way
Skill barriers make certain skill levels feel like something… something more than just a number since there huge difference in experience if skill is 2900 or 3100.

There is no barrier at 4k. 
You won’t reach another noticable wall until 6900, and then you will have fun for many more months if the 3k barrier took you three months.
Cheers!

6.9-7k is horrible. :eek:
Anyway, it doesn’t actually speed up again so much after 7k neither.
I also saw some difference in speed after 5k. Specially in engineering. The slowdown after 3k didn’t feel so hard compare to this one.

I think I experienced a barrier when reaching 4900-5000. Was some months ago but it felt slower than normal 4kish skillgain :tongue2:
2900-3k is a nightmare. You’ll gain 1 skill level per 2000 shots fired
After 7k it’s smooth going untill you start reaching the dredded 10k :mad:
It seems to me that there is a gradual slowdown from 3000 to 6900 (then a hugh slowdown from 6900 to 7000 which we know about anyway). I have been noticing recently that it seems to take much longer to get a skill from 6000 to 6900 than I remember it taking to get from 3000 to 4000 for example :S has anyone else noticed this?

But isnt it so without any skill barriers too?
I mean 1-50 goes faster than 1001-1050 which is faster than 2001-2050 etc…
Probaly its very noticeable only after 3k since then there is long time without any skill barriers.

Yes, it is harder to get from 6000 to 6900 then from 3000 to 4000.
Reason for this is quite simple. (I know that you, Sibuk and other experience players, know this. Anyway I will explain it for new ppl)
Before I explain it, I will try to explain the thermology.
“Experience points” (exp. p. or xp) is points that is notable in screen.
Example: “You gained experience in Laser Weapon Technology”
“action” is something you do ingame. Most common for action is that you pay it with decay. (Decay is decrease in “TT-value” of a weapon)
“skills” is plural form of “experience points” gathered together. Number of “experience points” to fill up 1 skill fluctuate.
Every time you gather “experience points”, your skills will raise.
Different skill levels, it takes different amount of “experience points” to raise skills. You will see this on the skillbar. When skills are higher, it takes more “experience points” to raise skill with 1.
Each “action” you do will be a part to fill up “experience points”
Let us say that we also have a hidden actionbar where measure is in %.
When you reach 100%, it result in 1 “experience point”
When skills are low, you don’t need many “actions” to get 1 “experience point” When skills are higher, you also need more “actions” before you fill 100% on the hidden actionbar and get 1 “experience point”
In the slowdowns, the hidden actionbar takes a long time to fill up to 100%.
To fill up the skillbar takes longer time as more skills you have. (Also valid for action bar)

doh.. 3k, 6k, 10k..
and my little brother thinks he is a big boss when he took his evade to lvl 20
…
I wish there was a numeral description of how far left till next lvl up =)
like this…
Current lvl:01 (exp.100)
Next lvl:02 (exp.200)
And that the current exp.points rise as you get more exp.
Does anyone else feel that this would be much greater ??
I mean it’s pretty boring to look at that damn green bar get darker and darker lol…
I WANT NUMBERS:::::
I’m about to hit the 1900-2000 barrier in Rifle. Wish me luck. =\
