Many of you have experienced your GK Level dropping dramatically due to the update. The Game Team has been notified and the HoC team will be working to restoring you GK levels to their previous amounts.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for playing HoC
If you have experienced the GK drop please leave your username, and server and any details about your GK level.
Update:
The Game team has updated the GK Level Bar and has provided the GM Team with an explanation for the GK Level drop. It has quite a bit of math so grab your calculators and hang on. Let's walk through the changes starting with the old GK Bar
The GK Level Progress Bar displays the percentage needed to reach the next level, well...that's what it's supposed to do.
There is a difference between the percent on the GK Level Progress Bar and the GK points you have. "Wouldn't it be better to display 500/1000 GK points instead of using 50%?" It's a matter of opinion. Displaying a percentage or fraction would serve the same purpose. There are a million ways to code one thing and the Game Team chose to use a percent.
The formula below is the OLD formula.
(current GK points) / (GK points requirement for next level)
At first glance this may seem correct, but the amount of GK points need for the next level increases as you level up. Thus, the more GK points you have, the more you going to need to reach the next level. Also take into account that each GK level has a different daily decrease rate. These numbers put together provided an inaccurate GK Level Progress Bar and the percent you saw was actually incorrect. This also explains why when you log in your GK level is vastly different then when you logged out.
The NEW formula is
(current GK points - GK points requirement of current level) / (GK points requirement for next level - GK points requirement for current level)
This formula will provide a more accurate percentage on the GK Level Progress Bar. The GK Level drop was not actually a drop. Your GK numbers have always been the same. The update to the GK Level Progress Bar allows it to display the correct percent.
