A wall of text on the global XP modifier, global OOC

[Hatwer]

PvP often leads to exp deaths, even when it's not intended grief. Shit just happens during PvP.

There are also less clerics, necros, druids and wizards to help speed up corpse runs and resses. You just have to do without, and that means leveling takes more time.

Not completely removing the XP bonus, dramatically lowering it and adding a group bonus.

Why dramatically decrease it? Honestly it's not that fast really

The main point is I think a 2x bonus on exp 50-60 still makes it harder to level to 60 than on blue. You mention 1 level a week? That is awful. Can't you do that in 3-4 hours on blue with an AoE group?

Red is tougher than blue currently, nothing needs to be changed.

8 Hours played to get lvl 60 on a twinked/PLed/AOE Group Ogre Warrior. Even camped a full VP key at lvl 55. I think I hit 60 on Twainz after 30 days played and 14 days played on Tyva.

Derubael,

What's wrong with leaving it the same, and incentivizing grouping by adding a bonus?

People will still prefer to group but they don't have to rely on them if there are not enough people. The people who level quickly are the ones who already have toons on this server and are twinked.. The only ones that will be hurt by it are actual newbies who don't have the same thing.

Also, if other people have valid points, why are you only personally thanking people that agree with your propos?

XP is harder fo sho on Red99. Usually you get roflstomped trying to grind which leads you to remote places for grinding not to mention some even join stacked guilds to avoid being ganked during said grind. Leave the XP the way it is or at least leave it for 50-60

the grouping bonuses dont make a difference if there is nobody in your level range to group with anywhere, not that'd you'd know, because you shut off OOC and now you can't even reach out to confirm the sad fact that you're a sole nub in a scrub wasteland like will smith in i am legend except assbergers instead of zombies.

Thats what derubael doesnt get.

I dont understand how he came to the conclusion that suddenly people who log in to a dead zone (me playing in crushbone, every time) and forced to solo, you cut down their xp in half and theyre going to go oh shit man, im glad im now leveling half as fast, gonna stick around.

Just zone in crushbone derubael, what groups?

[Tradesonred]

If velious brings in 500 people regularly, maybe try it as an experiment, but i dont think xp should be nerfed and then devs peace out on this for months.

You need to monitor the population, and when the population tanks as it surely will, move xp back to where it was.

[Tongpow]

hope they change their minds on this, just rolled on red looks like i might be too late to the party

[Colgate]

yeah lowering exp in any fashion p retarded idea
