The hybrid exp penalty was one of the disappointments for me, from p99. Its one thing to try and recreate with a classic approach. but it is another thing to replicate some serious mistakes in the games evolution. Mana stones never should have been in the game. They were broken then and were broken when put in p99. Hybrid penalties do effect groupings, I experienced this on live as well as p99.
These mistakes were done by a development team working a new concept. As well as a player base grasping a new concept. These things were removed for a reason.
Fast forward to P99. Development team working an old concept and a player base that can play the game blind folded. There is a large difference between the 2 timelines.
Mana stones and hybrid penalties for classic sake....... is like smashing your thumb with a hammer, for the sake of nostalgia. It doesnt make sense to repeat a mistake.
