![]() ![]() Leagues joined on Tuesday or Wednesday (after one or two days in 'private mode') often are more laid back as well as are those started on Monday after 10 pm. About the most competitive league I came into required 1000 XP to avoid demotion. ![]() Using exclusively the website, I have been in the Diamond league for 94 weeks in total and for almost one year continuously. After creating an uneven playing field, the only way to avoid website users to massively quit and go private is to cluster them in a separate league. They will probably earn less XP in a week than app users earn in a day (some of them in less than an hour). They might, but I am rather inclined to the idea that DL is clustering people who exclusively learn on the website. It has been suggested here that DL is clustering overachievers and laid back learners in different leagues. Learning using the website has none of those. Learning platforms are created unequally: learning using the app opens plenty of possibilities to boost your XP earnings with SUPER members having an arsenal more of XP firing powder. It'd be nice to get first in Diamond League sometime, but I doubt I'll ever do it, as I'm not motivated to stay on Duolingo the amount of time it would take. I've mostly been playing around to see what happens each week. Haven't seen any advantage (in terms of if my goal is making the top of the league) in waiting to join a league so far. I can usually maintain a 4th place spot till the weekend, at which time a few folks come out of the woodwork and pass me. Yes, there are always some people with fewer points at the bottom, but the leagues I've joined midweek (so far) have had very active users in the first, second and third place spots. ![]() I'll be honest, I haven't landed in any meek leagues by waiting to join a league. There are DL learners with a streak of more than thousand days and over 2 years in diamond, but with hardly any top-3 scores. Postponing in going public is a decent strategy to avoid demotion, not to get into the top-3: you need to clearly define your ambition. However the demotion threshold should be fairly low. This doesn't imply that there won't be any overachievers (trying to take advantage of that situation). The main aim of going private before joining a league is to land in a relatively meek league. ![]()
