Heroes 2.0 Final XP Values

There are 65 heroes already, and the number will grow.

Assuming a player has reached the old experience cap, so he has every hero at level 20, his new account level will be about 3445, and, from what I've seen in the Progression 2.0 preview, I don't think you have 34 different graphics ready for each 100 levels, so any player with account level above 900, reachable by getting level 16 (corresponding to the old level 10) with every hero currently released, will have the same exact portrait and account level icon.

Why don't you divide the account level by 10 so that you will have to use a different graphic for account levels each 1000 hero levels rather than 100 of them?

Have a little faith!

We have art supporting up through player level 6650 for launch. That should be enough to keep folks going for a while. ;)

The art actually changes every 25 levels with major changes every 100. We originally had it just changing every 100 levels, but 100 levels is quite a long time for most players so the artists went that extra mile to ensure the art could gain visible modifications every 25 levels, marking the same time you earn the epic chest and gem rewards.

Thanks for posting this updated curve, but I'm noticing something odd with these new numbers(was also present with the old ones, but in a different format) - my level 20 heroes under the live progression are converting over to level 54, rather than 55 as was laid out in the 2.0 progression initial posting.

The changes made to level 2 and 3 aren't significant enough for this to be the case, was the level 55 under some other internal curve that never saw PTR, or am I still calculating wrong somewhere?

Yeah, 55 was the estimate from an earlier iteration. After various nudges and tweaks, it ends up at 54 instead.

Cap was raised by 1 level at 12 to 1.2 million.

Hm, the cap has been been 1.2 million since beta came out. The changes we made were to levels 2 & 3.
