Question on pents

Why is the exp value still lower then it was in the original v2 for every pent? I heard somewhere that it was like that because you used to be able to get 6 pents a solve, and it was never changed back. I would really like an explanation for why they haven't put it back to the original exp or still allow you to get 6 a solve. Thanks!

I have the origibal moa source code and the current Aranock code.

It would appear that moa did a calculation for experience and then divided by 7 to say how much experience the pent gave.
Aranock does the same calculation and then divides by 8, so hence marginally less experience per pent.

Both games appear to only allow the top 5 pents.

There is no documentation of who or when or why this was changed and what other changes were made at the same time.

At this stage there are no plans to modify or enhance the pents although there were a few suggestions on enhancing the top icey pents [nothing concrete at this stage].

When pent solves were changed to be based on people in pents, people could get exp too fast... so I think that's why they reduced pent exp.
