Max Experience Points?

What does this new setting in the games ini actually do? I mean I already have custom player levels and dino levels up to lvl 80 on my server and to get to lvl 80 it takes 57,310 XP to hit lvl 80. So what does this setting do in my ini as by default it is set to 100,000?

The default leveling curve is pretty brutal once you get to 60+ and gets worse once you get to 71 (where you need as much xp to go from 70-71 as you need to go from 1 to 40). If you follow that line of brutality with your custom level setup, you'd need a cap far higher than 100k.

I was dinking with this today since I was interested in raising our level cap for giggles. I keep with the spirit of it all, in that you need ungodly amounts of xp after 71, but rather than have to enter their 60-71 manually I wrote some code that "smoothes" 60+ (while hitting about the same total required by 71) and that increases xp required per level, with every 5 levels becoming more painful, until a cap of 10k per level is hit. In the end with this you need ~320k total xp to hit 100, so I set the max player xp at 350k.

Not that any of us will ever hit it. I'll want to restart from level 1 again long before that - that would be an insane amount of xp to gain (when you consider it's 54.5k xp to get to lvl 71 now and there really isn't anything content-wise you ever do to increase xp gains - rampaging on a t-rex/spino and slaughtering mobs is about as good as it ever gets).

The curve if you stick with the spirit at 71 does at least give you some leveling once in a great while and a few extra points to play with (I set ours up to only give 8 engrams per at 72+ since we're co-op pve and have hundreds as it is).
