Duration of Shared Grp XP Penalties

[Braveguard]

On the one hand, I hope it's working as intended but, on the other, it means that I can never catch up... unless she is hospitalized and can't play. Hmmm... she IS my ex-wife. No... I guess I don't want to level that badly.

You'll catch up a bit temporarily during hell levels, and of course, at 50th [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh yeah!

See... the dev's always have a ray of sunshine to share!

I have mixed feelings on this whole thing. Honestly though, I feel there's strong merit to the argument that while the class penalties are in the spirit of classic, the open knowledge of them isn't.

The problem is, you can't start changing things that "should" have been fixed, because as soon as you do, you open the floodgates to QQ from all sides about what was and wasn't tuned or balanced properly. Granted though, the devs can always play the "tough shit" card. It's their project, after all.

Do hybrids get shafted? Yes. Does it suck? Absolutely. I love the Paladin class, but I just can't bear the though of going through the classic 1-50 experience again.

I'm using it as a "make lemonade" sort of excuse to play a class I never had the time to play on Live.

I am specifically not playing a ranger right now because of their classic deficiencies. I plan on leveling one to 22 and stopping there until animal fear is introduced...although I might cave and play in Kunark after exp penalties are removed for all the cool stuff they get post 50...

I never played a Paladin or SK much and was never tempted to do so in classic. I liked Paladins in Kunark and Velious because all hybrids became powerhouses during that period, but I can't stand them in classic.

IMO all bugs should be squished from day 1. Stupid design I can deal with.

Get squishing them. Let me know how far you get. Clock's ticking.

I have a question about how this group penalty works, hopefully someone can answer.

Does the penalty stack if there are multiple hybrids in a group? Will a group of 2 rangers get 60% of their gained xp, or .6 * .6 = 36% of their gained xp? Does a group have to suffer each time they invite a hybrid or just the first one? :P
