Levels Not Updating

Levels don't seem to be updating in real time, even after recaching.

For example, in this screenshot, Unattainabelle should be level 2014, not 1971.

@lykhaos117 the behavior you're seeing is technically correct, but I can see how this would be confusing to you. Allow me to explain. Version 3 has introduced some new complexities for creature stats.

Levels are "printed" on your creature image and may be out of sync with the actual, tallied level until the next image cache time. Creature images recache themselves twice daily, at 1 AM and 1 PM ECT OR whenever that creature evolves to a new stage. At these times, your levels are "reprinted" on your creature images. This is actually the same behavior as version 2. Levels on creature images were not reprinted in realtime and never have.

Additionally, creature levels are slightly lower on version 3 because creature levels are based off your tallied views instead of your live views. I know, it's confusing that there are two types of views, but follow me:

1. Tallied views are your stats as of the current day at 12 AM ECT, when views "rotate" and clear
2. Live views are your tallied views PLUS everything that's increased since today at 12 AM

This means that your creature levels are based off your live views MINUS the "stat's today" count. I hope that this helps and makes sense. For example:

3,596 +18 Views
1,388 +172 Clicks
1,144 +19 Feeds

Your creature level equation is ((3596-18) + (1388) + (1144)) / 3. You have to subtract today's views.

I hope that this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
