Description

After recent balance adjustments, the prestige gold thresholds do not scale steeply enough at higher prestige counts. A player was able to reach Prestige 16 very rapidly, running consecutive prestiges in quick succession. This suggests the gold requirement curve flattens out or does not account for the compounding effect of prestige multipliers and adventurer upgrades accumulating across multiple runs.

Context

  • Previous report: prestige was too slow (too high a threshold)
  • Current report: prestige is now too fast at higher prestige counts (threshold not steep enough)
  • Player reached Prestige 16 from Prestige 10 in a short session with minimal effort

Expected Behaviour

Prestige gold thresholds should scale steeply enough that each successive prestige feels meaningful and takes an appropriate amount of time, even accounting for the production multipliers gained from previous prestiges.
