Naut Level XP

[SirHostilePenguin]

So is it just me or does the Amount of XP required to get a Naut to level 12 seems a bit excessive?

According to the Awesomenauts wiki, you need 58.770 XP to get a naut from 0-12. Assuming 600xp per game average, you would need 100 games for to get 1 naut for max level. Factoring in the atrocious queue times (up to 6 minutes), again assuming an average of 3 minutes per game, you spent 5 hours just in queue.

I am not even complaining about the queue times as they are a product of trying to keep the teams somewhat balanced skillwise and the small playerbase.

But why does it takes so much effort to get a naut to max level. Especially since there is nothing really locked behind levels after level 4.

You don't have to. You can just play the game without paying attention to the Nauts levels. If there was an achievement like "Get all Nauts at max level" i would understand the frustration - but as it stands, you don't have any obligation to do it.

Good for you if you do ; it only means you dedicated yourself to a particular character. If we take back your computation, getting a naut to max level is 5 hours in queue + 100 * 20 minutes = 2000 minutes = 35 hours. So 40 hours total. This is most definitely achievable. Sure, it's not achievable for someone who plays Nauts less than 5 hours a week ; but for anyone else dedicated enough it is - and that's the whole point of it, to rewards these players. I guess.

it is since prestige changes read achievments before thinking they dont exist :P

Sure I don't have to, but like Dekardi said, it is indeed tied to achievements.
The highest is 10 nauts to level 12.

So 40 hours for 1 naut is very much achievable, I agree. But with achievements in mind we are at 400 hours for 10 nauts and in that time you are committed to those 10 only. And 400 hours to potentially be able to get all achievements, while still feasible, is still a little excessive, in my opinion at least.

And yes I know, I dont need to 100% a game, but that is not the point here. I just think the requirements for those achievements are asking a little much timewise, because there is no skill required at all, especially since they aren't tied to any noteworthy reward ingame.
