Yeah, bonuses are cumulative for duplicate figures and discs. And that's EVERY duplicate, so if you have 8 of the same disc, and you keep putting them all on, it will keep stacking more bonus. Time to dig out your bin/baggie of duplicate discs.
The same was true in 2.0. I discovered this one day after accidentally putting a duplicate terrain disc on my portal and noting the "2" in my collection screen
Now that said, could anyone give me a little perspective on the pros and cons of power leveling all my characters this way?
To be honest, I've been playing since 1.0 and I still don't have a single character level capped. I'm a compulsive collector, so I own nearly every figure (and will eventually own them all)... but I only really play casually, and I find owning and playing every figure makes it nearly impossible to level them all casually. A select few are gold, a couple silver, most bronze or below, but not one is capped. It's also very frustrating when I want to start a new character, but he's so drastically underleveled that he gets wailed on left and right, dies quickly, and I just have to turn right back to my leveled characters immediately...
SO... I'm considering constructing this leveling box when I get home, and just tossing them all in (or at least a majority of them)... however I worry that it will trivialize the gameplay I've yet to experience... so I may hold off on a select few. Because I worry all the challenge would be removed if I capped everyone (and this is an all ages game, so there isn't a ton of challenge to begin with). But then I think... well... I could always cap them all, then just reset them should I ever feel the need for a challenge (since I could always just use the box to cap them again). SO anyway, I'm undecided on how to proceed and just looking for some feedback... wondering if there are any unforseen side effects/circumstances I haven't considered and weighed.
Should I cap all of them? None of them? Most of them? How much does it trivialize gameplay? Are there any drawbacks to resetting them should I change my mind? What are folks thoughts?
