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.

Guess what?

Pickpocketing isn't classic in its form.
Pets don't melee faster with low-delay weapons.
Dot stacking

Etc.

Classic argument has failed. Stop using it.

This is "quasi classic" and the sooner people accept it for that, the better. Cherry picking classic mechanics and ignoring others arbitrarily makes it so. You can't use the "but it's classic" statement, at all. It isn't universal.

I obviously still play here, and enjoy it a great deal, but let it fucking die with the "it's classic" bullshit.

It is as classic as technically possible with titanium client, no one is cherry picking anything you dumbfuck.

Shut the shit up.

No, there are other things that can be implemented but won't be. It has nothing to do with Titanium client limitations. You're not as smart as you think you are.

I am in no way slamming the project, or those working on it.

I am saying, "Stop using 'it's classic' in your sad excuse for an argument."

I'm glad you found the appropriate venue to complain. I am sick of seeing people complain in Server Chat, you are correct. Do it here.

The objective of the server is to create a historical representation of the classic experience to the best of our ability.

Experience penalties: The in-game experience bar for every original player abided by these same rules. So, let's look at dates. EQ was released in March of 1999. The penalties were removed in January of 2001, in Velious. The majority of the classic timeframe (1 yr and 10 months) happened exactly the way it should be happening now.

This particular topic has been discussed in length on the forums. In my opinion, the experience system is an integral part of the game that shouldn't be ignored because people want to balance the entire game. I grow increasingly tired of playing mmorpgs until they are completely balanced. When that happens, everyone is the same, and it is boring. This is one small corner of the gaming universe where we are not forced to balance due to complaints of difficulty or envy.

If you want a level 60 hybrid character when Velious opens, put some time and effort into it. There will be more loot for you.

fair enough. just my opinion.

thanks for the reply

Hahah, the tags are great.

[bled12345]

the reason why knights have such high EXP penalties, is because they are hybrid, and they have the best of both worlds!!!


an SK at level 50 can serve as a tank, AND gets to cast level 29 necro spells!!! zomg win.



seriously though, pure melee is pure melee, and pure caster is pure caster... hybrids get to do a bit of both, and that is why they were penalized.
