I was upset about this at first when I noticed my exp slow down a bit, but what really hurts exp gain seems to be the level of the people in your group. If I get a royals group with a bunch of people 8 levels higher than me, i get pretty bad exp. If I get a windows group with people my level, the exp is much quicker.
I was duoing with a ranger last night and I got half of my level and had a great time. I am even in a hell level (shared that exp penalty with him?) So I don't really care about that anymore. And I have yet to see anyone turn down, or even mention hybrid exp penalties, and every group i have been in since the patch have had hybrids in it. I mean, if you are going to do that, then no one in a hell level should group with you either, right? You'd be subjecting people to your horrible penalty! But once again, ive yet to see this first hand.
I am more upset about sharing hell level exp, since it didn't seem to happen in classic?
On another note,

I believe this is still open for discussion. There are two issues here...
1 - The class/race penalties should stay in, and will stay in. That's classic and was by design.
2 - That the class/race penalties affected a GROUP's xp gain was an acknowledged bug back in the Verant days (once they fixed it anyway). There is a thread here somewhere discussing this in more detail. Since it was a BUG, it should get fixed here too.
Can someone (nilbog? aeol?) step in and comment? I'd hate for our beloved ugly Trolls (and others with xp penalties) to start disappearing from our server! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
If the community as a whole decided that they did not want the penalties in, is that something that would ever be changed?
