Pretty Polly makes 51

[skullduggery bones]

Was totally unexpected and nearly fell off me chair when the level noto appeared!
And there was NO cheating involved!

Wow, Polly! Congrats on an accidental 51. If there's really a noto cap, then they really need to fix that. Just wondering how their code looks if they can't add a simple check.

const NOTORIETY_CAP = 50;

// within a routine that checks if player
// has surpassed requirement for a notoriety increase

if (player.level < NOTORIETY_CAP)
{
   player.level++;
}
else
{
   // Sorry, no dice.
}

Yeah, I know I've overly simplified it but seriously. Congrats anyhow! I'm sure that was a surprise. What have you been doing - mostly invasions?

[skullduggery bones]

Yep done pretty much all the invasions (best enemy count during was 178), healed others on Tormenta, shot stuff for fun hehe, sunk ships. Just normal POTCO things.

Congrats! Its perfectly likely that just doing everyday things can earn you enough reps to jump a level without cheating. Nothing to apologies for, its a very fine feat!! I was hoping that players like this who earned reps naturally could keep their noto but I bet that's not going to happen. Congrats are in order none the less!!!

Way to glow Polly!

(I'm thinking now D just accidentally broke the cap increase. Too many are making it over 50 for it to not be a D error. If ya make it, have fun with it!)

This is a very popular bug now. There have been reports of Lv58s as well ( and soon to be Lv60 Pirates ). Also, congrats Pretty Polly.

It seems that when treasure is dropped you get 25 rep added to notoriety for every piece dropped. So notoriety will increase although slowly as not every enemy drops a treasure. And for the invasions ALL rep earned counts.
