Classic pet exp - Page 25

raptorak · #**241** 10-29-2011, 06:00 AM

Apparently, according to the Wiki game mechanics and my experience in game where fighting with the pet seemed more than 50%, the nerf is actually still 75% less exp if you do under 50% damage.

So basically the rule changed from having to do 1 damage to having to do over 50% to get full exp, otherwise you get 25%.

Really I started this thread wishing for some verification as to how the mechanic is working (to help find a way around it), so it would be good if we had some official word on it at some point.

Classic would be 50% if you do no damage.

Interesting, as others have mentioned, this boosts afk exping I had thought afk exping was against the rules, but I guess it is just "frowned upon"?

I should probably mention that I am not suggesting mages go out and afk exp. I am just pointing out that they have given a boost to those who would do such a thing.

we all agree that this is supposed to be a classic server. what seems to be frustrating people is how what is changed to classic is picked and chosen arbitrarily. in this case, pet soloing is completely nerfed without fixing the other issues with pets first (taunt, pet attack range, etc). the post in the previous page about a necro soloing at level 55 for 10 hours and only getting 12% xp (something like that) is extremely alarming. I unfortunately doubt this will be fixed, and I do not have the time to solo for 80 hours to get one level in the mid to high 50s. i really like this server and what it stands for, and i hope that this nerf does not ruin the population.

This is all true, yes. What further aggravates me is that they are also hand picking features of Luclin and PoP as to not nerf other classes. No Plane of Knowledge means that Druids and Wizards are still useful to people. Not only is that not classic, but they are one-siding things. (I actually agree with that decision, just stating that pet classes are being unjustly nerfed here.)

Should be cause for account deletion.

correct me if i'm wrong, but the devs haven't explicitly stated that they are going to implement the custom PoP / Luclin content. also, if it were to occur, it would be after Velious, which is years away.

Pretty sure they are serious. It may be awhile away but its still planned.

That thread is a discussion or wish list -- speculation at best. It is a great discussion on lore and ideas about extending the Norrath travel system, but there is no indication any of it is planned.
