I like pepper, that does make more sense than chalked.

Oh, sorry for correcting grammar, but I did find it ironic from someone questioning anothers reading comprehension.

Grammar =/= reading comprehension so your irony sucks.

Purist's flowchart, on the other hand, owns.

My Favorite things about this thread

- The discussion about possible options and alternatives, it's so adorable. *cute*

- The fact that this problem is being blown way out of proportion

- The fact that players are blaming the hybrid shared exp problem when they should be blaming the red guy sucking up all the exp.

- The pyro in this thread with the Captian America Icon, I LOVE archatypes! Also my favorite ninja turtle was Leonardo and my favorite X-man is Cyclops, they always did what splinter/professor x said!

- The wow card I love it... I'm not insane, EVERYONE else is insane. I am perfectly normal. What? what was that voice in my head no... no... dogs are my friend I should not kill the dogs.

- The only people I know who complain when I invite a hybrid into the group are the type of IDB (see internet douchebag theory, pennyarcade) that I end up not wanting to group with. /tell me I will group with any hybrid as long as you do not suck (lol I made a pun).

- Being a fan of warriors I am bathing in the hybrid tears. Poor 18kpp or no group warriors finally getting some love, albiet backwards love... <3 you Warrior tanks *swoon*

Now that I am finished dumping gasoline I have a philosophical question to pose. It is clear that the Admins of the server have a clear mandate to what there goals with the server should look like. I think it is probably important to establish that this is the most fun I have had gaming in a long time. So why do we have a forum for discussion of anything other than eq housekeeping. Examples such as class stratagies, information requests, the library, guild recruitment and discussion, rants and flames, and happy/painfull/sad/love/sexual stories? Why do we have a discussion forum for game mechanics since anyone with a brain can get themselves a list of patchnotes and follow along?

Regardless of the changes the devs make, I love everquest to much to make some kneejerk decision. After the global OOC change my opinion on the "classic at all cost" versus "classic feel, but lets not put in the really bad garbage" has changed. I would never willingly include myself in the "classic at all cost" group, but my problem is when I daydream about the other servers I have played on that attempted to replicate the classic experience -- Servers that have boxing where one can get a character to cap level in a matter of days where content comes faster than I can shave my legs -- I end up comming to the conclusion. To replicate the classic experience in every way you are forced to play under "classic at all cost".

I am deeply sorry for any english language errors, or canadian language rules I have used, which might offend our Erudite readers. I tried my very bestest to make this pleasant to read... Even though 1/2 of it was me flaming.

Aye, i quit as well because of it.

Still waiting for an actual response as to why hell levels have shared group xp penalties when it wasn't classic, sigh.

If you'd rephrase your question I'll try. I'm not sure what you're asking. Hell levels and xp penalties were both classic, and the xp penalties didn't only occur in hell levels.

Also, hell levels don't involve any xp penalty of any sort by themselves. They're simply a larger xp requirement to progress through.

I was in a decent crushbone group 2 days ago with my enchanter in crushbone and it took me over 3 hours from lvl 9 to lvl 10 !!! Come on seriously on my druid before the exp nerf, group exp was like tripple that fast. Something has to be wrong but this is for sure more than just 6% exp nerf....and the worst is im faster soloing now as an enchanter. But i like grouping much more, i think group exp should really be way faster than solo exp or something is wrong.

QFT.

At lvl 8, I can solo ONE even con mob and get 4 ticks of blue xp. In a group with hybrids, I would have to kill 8 mobs to get that much xp. TBH, even tho the xp sucks I did want to group last night but EC had several power-levelers pulling all the mobs with their DS. Lame IMO.

(wrong) Well now that hybrid xp penalty is not shared, everyone should be leveling faster (except the hybrids / trolls / ogres). Regen and stun immunity and high str / sta, and good aggro control are nice to haves. I wonder how this change will play out.

Oops, I misread the patch notes. yes it's removal of hell lvl xp shared. How do they do that? If xp is distributed to the group based on their individual xp, how can you change that mechanic in one case (hell levels) but not another (hybrid's requiring more xp to level)
