Group Exp is in on Red99

[Lasher]

Pretty clear they secretly added Group exp, come back to server and find pals to group with.

Do I get more XP for soloing something while I group with someone that's afk for a couple of hours than I would for genuinely soloing it?

Is the group difference noticeable?

Interesting times if so.

[Greegon]

Confirmed, got a 6 man group going, we were getting like a blue a kill at lvl 51.

Some guildies and I just tested this...

As a solo level 1 wood elf warrior killing a bat gives you 10% EXP.

With 2 level 1 warriors, a bat gives you 8% EXP.

With 3 level 1 warriors, a bat gives you 7% EXP.

With 4 level 1 warriors, a bat gives you 5% EXP.

With 6 level 1 warriors, a bat gives 4% EXP.

Edit: Squire said it better lol

Some people reporting exp bonus at high levels, cant confirm that but its possible they added a bonus for 50-60 considering there hasn't been one since the nerf, but who knows.

[Kraftwerk]

It has only been put in for 50+ is the thing. To make up for removing the bonus and only keeping the lvl 1-50 bonus.

That's basically a quarter of a level per kill...

[Squire]

....Those percentages don't add up.

1 bat solo is 10% 1 bat in a full group is 4%

Seems legit, the way I would have done it )

[Lasher]

10% solo=10% for one mob
4% per person in a full group=24% exp for one mob.

In a group of 6 the same mob is giving 140% more exp

Seems like this feeds a slab of meat to the lions, and does nothing for the gazelles except give them an incentive to burn up to 51+ without any help doing so.

Wouldn't they have announced this so they could reap the relative "pras" as well?

[Rec]

group exp but only if you're in cloth/leather/ or banded armor!

Are you unable to multiply 4 times 6? I mean, I know the state of the American educational system is bad, but it's not that bad.

[Squire]

You stated it was a quarter of a level per bat. It is not for an individual player, but spread across the group.

[Shaakglith12194]

I never said it was for the individual player. I said "That's basically a quarter of a level per kill...". It's 24% spread amongst 6 players. I should have clarified instead of assuming people could do basic math and draw logical conclusions.

Never again make that mistake on this forum.

Ok, now get on blue and do the same thing and see if ratio is same or different as you add players to group. If no group exp bonus exists blue should be exactly half of red results, if more than half there is a group exp bonus here.

QFT. Though the people who made the group earlier are offline now, so if someone else wants to try that, then that would be thanks.

[Bazia]

The staff woulda said something about this.

Debunked

Nice troll though.

It made someone start level 1 characters, it's all part of the master plan

Seems like pretty solid proof of a group exp bonus imo if this is real. If there was none wouldn't the duo get 5% each?

[Tecmos Deception]

Isn't there a reverse-scaling XP bonus from 1-50? And a cap on xp per kill of 10%?

You can't use a level 1 wood elf warrior killing a level 1 mob in a newbie zone (maybe higher ZEM than 75, not sure) as a base.

[Bazia]

Tecmos correct

Myth busted

[Tecmos Deception]

Not to mention the popular opinion that there already was a group xp bonus in classic eq and p99. It wasn't too significant I don't think... something like +20% xp with a full group?

[Bazia]

yeah everyone knows you never play with a group of 5 if you can help it for the bonus

I'll be honest here, instead of adjusting shit on the fly they should just admit defeat and wipe red then promote + relaunch

Lowering exp just makes it more difficult for people to compete with old timers with 4+ level 60s to all plant at KC or Seb and then they come wave after wave during pvp and overwhelm the newbies.

I would akin it to the account sales on blue that kinda fucked over most the new player guilds trying to compete in the raid game there. Well before the enforced rotations anyways.
