not cool, nilbog!

That thread wasnt meant to be a rant or flame. As you can tell by the title and opening post it was just a question of when an estimated time for kunarks launch might be.

THIS is a rant/flame whatever

dont nazi shut down threads because you 'sick' of having to see something brought up again.

xp penalties are wack, and un necessary. even if its free, no one WANTS to eat a shit sandwhich. but when your starving..

to justify the them being here as "its part of classic EQ" is fine, but to say it is alive and well exactly where it should be, because most of the penalties dont make any sense at all. How a fully group dependent tank has a 40% penalty, but a unbelievably OP mage has a 10% penalty is not only beyond me, but beyond any logic. like stated prior. not a mistake in coding, just a mistake in the thought process that leads to the xp penalty existing in the first place.

i love you and this game dont take this the wrong way. without this kind of criticism life doesnt work.

Thanks,

Dev

You'd probably have less of a problem with the xp penalty if you spent more time playing or learning how to play more efficiently and less time typing.

Really though, the penalties are pretty dumb lol

Ranger has same penalty as a bard? What drugs were the original EQ developers on when they thought that sounded logical?

This has been explained to death, but basically the original EQ code paid a kind of homage to the D & D concept of hybrids; when the EQ versions of hybrids were actually weaker than the pures they attempted to splice, the devs (after a long time) just recognized them as regular classes with strengths/weaknesses just like the pure classes they emulated, but not any stronger, so not needing any kind of exp penalty.

However, the exp penalty is a part of the classic experience and it doesn't need to be whined about anymore.
