NEW HW merits????

[King Beany]

OK as a HW24 on open, I am trying to figure out if I will continue to promote now or wait until the new system goes live.

I figure that the new merit equalizing point is around 2000. Right now with the factory worth ~530 merits it takes ABOUT 10 runs to get ready (I know it's more just averaging) Under the current test method of ~200 merits per factory run and still doing 10 runs to get ready that's where I get the 2000 point. Now anything more than 2000 merits to get ready means MORE work to do it.

So - my question is - does anyone have ANY information on merit requirements for HW's on test. My test toon is a Number Cruncher for CHQ, but still a CC

ANY information on any level will help to try to figure out a formula, so if you could post your HW level and the NEW merit requirement, I will try to figure out at what level the runs will get longer to get ready.
As of 4/07 update - My best guesstimate
The red are confirmed merits, the black are my best guess. Need lvl8-18 to get a better handle on that. Looks like they just moved everything back one level.

lvl8 - ???
lvl9 - ???
lvl10 - ???
lvl11 - ???
lvl12 - 680???
lvl13 - 890???
lvl14 - 5500
lvl15 - 680
lvl16 - 890
lvl17 - 1100
lvl18 - 1310
lvl19 - 5500
lvl20 - 680
lvl21 - 890
lvl22 - 1100
lvl23 - 1310
lvl24 - 1520
lvl25 - 1730
lvl26 - 1940
lvl27 - 2150
lvl28 - 2360
lvl29 - 5500
lvl30 - 680
lvl31 - 890
lvl32 - 1100
lvl33 - 1310
lvl34 - 1520
lvl35 - 1730
lvl36 - 1940
lvl37 - 2150
lvl38 - 2360
lvl39 - 5500
lvl40 - 680
lvl41 - 890
lvl42 - 1100
lvl43 - 1310
lvl44 - 1520
lvl45 - 1730
lvl46 - 1940
lvl47 - 2150
lvl48 - 2360
lvl49 - 5500
lvl50 - 0???

There are new merit/bux requirements. I don't think anyone has tried to post them all yet. I don't have any hollies on test so I can't help you there. We did a VP last night and after that I was the last Name Dropper level and I needed 500 merits.

My robber 42 was full already at 8900 bucks, but when I fought some cashbots, my bucks listed at 8900/1440. Friends have reported that the bucks seem to peak at the laffpoint boost levels (like they would on last level of lower named cogs) and then drop back down and ramp up on the way to the next boost level. So 16, 21, 31, 41 would be low requirements and 15,20,30,40,50 would be high ones.

I don't think anyone has a full merit progression list yet and I would think it will take some time to fill that out in test with the low amount of plyers. I would think it's going to stink either way for Hollywoods that didn't make 50 by now.

That's just it, there is NO information on ANY of the merit requirements for HW levels above 12 yet.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do with this post. Even if someone only has 1 or 2 level information that will help. Shouldn't take too many more after that to get the formula figured out.

Okay my Cat is a Holly 14 and needs 890 merits
My friend is a Holly 16 and needs 1100


Lets go .... Bring it on!

[skippysnifflesnooker]

My Mr. Hollywood 29 needs 2360, hope this helps.

[Lizbeth]

My toon is MH 24 and needs 1310 merits.

[Jacee Lee]

Can u please adjust this . . . .
My friend is a Holly 23 and needs 1100 merits.


Lets Go ....Bring it on!

[BigWayne]

robber 42 = 1440
robber 43 = 1780
robber 44 =
robber 45 = 2460

[BunBun]

My test toon is a Holly 19 and needs 1310 merits.

Wizard Hawk mentioned to me that it appears that at every laff boost (15, 20, 30, 40, not including 50 since we no longer promote) the merits seem to drop somewhat. With the information I'm seeing here, that seems to be accurate, but has yet to be seen for sure. Perhaps since I'm a Holly 19, I should test this theory!

[Solid Squirrlee 2]

Ok ...this is werid I'm a Holly18 and need 1100 and a Baron 45 and needs 2460. Now just on the holly side I see 1100 being repeated through many of the levels.

lvl14 - 890
lvl15
lvl16 - 1100
lvl17
lvl18 - 1100
lvl19 - 1310
lvl20
lvl21
lvl22
lvl23 - 1100
lvl24 - 1310

Now Jacey has said level 23 is 1100 but how can that be if level 19 is 1310 and so is 24

[King Beany]

It's looking like the level before you gain a laff boost tops off then it gets lower again, like BunBun & WH said. Level 16 appears to be out of place, but that was information from a third party. Keep 'em coming

Anyone else have a HW that they can check to see the new merits? I'm not sure, but I've heard of some people doing battles and during the dance seeing 2250/1310, so even though they are showing full in there book, they can see what the merit requirements WOULD have been.

I think the big problem is....when the VP and CFO were free alot of toons went like mad and made it to 50. Now getting groups to VP is an even harder task than before, not to mention no one wants to run the crummy factory for Merits now.

[Deputy Monty]

You are so right Solid, many made Hollys on test when it was free. I concentrated on learning the CFO and my toons are no where close to HW. I would love to VP but am trying to get my open toons past some Sellbot levels that will be very painful in a >200 factory.

They gave us a carrot in reducing the merit/buck requirements from 12+. (I'm really hoping they've reduced 12...does anyone know for sure?) It does not compensate for how long it is going to take us to get merits in the diluted factory!
