First off, I did do a search, and I didn't find anything.
My suggestion would be to implement a variable for increasing or reducing power level gains. As it is, I'm guessing there is a algorithm for figuring out current powerlevels, it would most likely be a multiplier on the outside of the function.
this would allow certain servers to have quicker or slower PL gains, depending on the usual player base and the administrator.

If this is already implemented, or already suggested, feel free to delete the thread, please send a PM explaining this though if it isn't too much trouble. Thanks!

I agree. something to speed up/slow down PL inrease would be good for those of us that dont have 4-6 hours a day to play the game. I used to have that 4 years ago but not anymore.

Although I am thinking that when they introduce extra transformations they might make the trans a bit easier to get to. If an online round lasts 45 mins, what good is it if you never get past level 1 transforms? I htink they will compensate in the future for this sort of thing.

XD this has been suggested and suggested and i already know hte answer. NO.

The idea of the game is to increase yreou powerlevel naturally. It would be cheating to do that.

If you want to controol tha verable, use DMZ.

sadly, that 'cheating' thing (its not cheating), is the only thing thats better about dmz than about esf. and it would be so ez to add too.

Alright, wondering how it would be cheating though persay...
The variable would be set by the admins, similar to how they remove an attack choice, not by players, nor would it be able to be set hopefully by them.
Would affect the entire server, a global variable.

It could be cheating if it was possible to disable it - say that the admin and a few of his friends set the increasing rate to something ludicrously high, hit a PL in the millions and then switch it back to regular old gain (or even lower). Of course, you wouldn't want to play for long on a server run like that anyway...

true, but so wut? thats the point of having reliable admins. if the admin was so iresponsible as to do something like that, then he would abuse other powers and the server would not be worth playing on either way.
ps - its not cheating
