Activity Levels

[NFLfbJunkie]

What's the highest activity level one can achieve and how are the activity levels set up?

 

[Fillip H.]

There's no limit to the Activity Level. They're calculated via a formula that ensures that it becomes progressively harder to level up, to make the higher levels more "exclusive"

 

[NFLfbJunkie]

Can you give an idea of how this formula creates the levels? And are the levels the same for every user? Having a little more information on how levels work will let me explain it to my users, which I'm sure they'll ask.

 

[Fillip H.]

It's circa this formula:
Previous Level + (0.25% of Previous Level) + 20.25

Where Previous Level is how many points you need to reach the previous level.
Since Level 1 is automatically awarded, to reach Level 2 one needs 20.25 points.

 

[NFLfbJunkie]

Is the configurable by the admin?

 

[Fillip H.]

No, it's integrated into the files.

 

[NFLfbJunkie]

Would you mind showing how the first 5 levels are computed?

 

[Fillip H.]

Level 1: 10 points needed to level up.
Level 2: 20.25 + (20.25 * 0.025) + 20.25 = 41 points needed to level up.
Level 3: 41 + (41 * 0.025) + 20.25 = 62 points needed to level up.
Level 4: 62 + (62 * 0.025) + 20.25 = 83 points needed to level up.
Level 5: 83 + (83 * 0.025) + 20.25 = 105 points needed to level up.

Thanks Fillip H.. Using the above, I don't understand why my test user needs 20 points to reach level 2, where in your example 41 points are needed.

And on this message board when I reach 80 points I will be at level 3, but you have:

Level 3: 41 + (41 * 0.025) + 20.25 = 62 points needed to level up

Or am I still missing something?

 

[Fillip H.]

Level 2: 20 points needed.
Level 3: 20.25 + (20.25 * 0.025) + 20.25 = 41 points needed to level up.
Level 4: 41 + (41 * 0.025) + 20.25 = 62 points needed to level up.
Level 5: 62 + (62 * 0.025) + 20.25 = 83 points needed to level up.
Level 6: 83 + (83 * 0.025) + 20.25 = 105 points needed to level up.

Should be more correct now, then.

Now it seems more in line with what's happening with the levels.
