xp

Is the xp as slow as it was in classic?

[Oleris]

yes. Also, hell levels exist.

[burkemi5]

Also racial and hybrid penalties.

People get fussy about "too many hybrids" on blue, so if you're planning to start a ranger particularly then it might be worth waiting til after the hybrid penalty comes out [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Swish, it may have been a while since you have started a new character on blue. I started my hybrid about 2 months ago and have only had one instance in that entire time where I've gotten crap for being a hybrid.

Play what you want.

Seeing the XP bar move in inverse relation to my social life is the only form of gratification I have in life.

I guess I'll take your word for it. People don't openly say "omg u suk hybrid, lol" - you just need to be more proactive in making your own groups.

Pre-Velious, try standing in KC LFG for a long time as a pally/SK/ranger...bards seemed to get groups more regularly. I don't see why that would be any different in mentality until the penalty is taken out, and by then there'll be 100s of people competing for that tank slot lol.

I've found there is generally some demand for tanks. That being said, if all groups have tanks they wont add another.

I'd think rangers have it worst. As a dps class role there are better options available.

Honestly, I haven't heard much of this and all I play are the +40% classes on blue. That being said, I tend to run groups and I couldn't care less about xp penalties. The grind is what defines EQ. The more xp penalties, the more kills I get to achieve! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You get to have 40% more fun grinder per level!

Think of it as a bonus to Fun
